Being early would always have its merits.

The train wasn't crowded and we could even get to choose where to sit. Moreover, Akane was slightly less clingy today. Apart from putting my arm across her shoulder and resting her head on my chest, she restrained herself from doing more like asking for a kiss.

For her, feeling my presence at her side was the relief she was looking for.

That's how it was before. As long as I don't push her away when she's sticking herself close to me, she's already satisfied even if I don't look her way.

Last month was like that and she's more than satisfied because we're alone. Moreover, that was the time when every girl I had a connection with was cut off from me.

I had no plans to leave at that time so during those days, I was always at home, with Akane at my side. She was probably reveling in the idea that at that moment, she was the only girl close to me.
