Caught in the Empty Clubroom

When Ayase saw me entering the classroom, she immediately blushed and her eyes still glittered brightly. In fact, it's even brighter than normal.

Ah. This is probably because of my acceptance.

She greeted me by my first name but in a very soft voice that only I could hear.

This girl…

She became this cute when her gloom finally dispersed. I want to hug her but I need to restrain myself.

I now know I like her and I want her to be mine, I won't deny that anymore.

After our greeting, she tried to read her book again but she couldn't concentrate on it because of me being next to her.

I leaned closer and whispered to her ear.

"Aya, relax. You're mine now. Let's act normally in class, okay?"

She turned her head and like I thought, it's so red now that she might reach her boiling point any minute. Calling her Aya added to that. She liked it when shortened her name. She probably thought it's my form of endearment for her.

I sneakily held her hand to calm her down.
