Do you like me? Alex Kun

Yumeri was a gentle girl with long smooth black hair that would fall around her waist. She always seems to be smiling.

Come on, can anyone hate a pretty girl smiling sweetly at them?

At least I'm not one of those people; I'm just attracted to gentle girls.

She seems to spend too much time playing video games, though, and I've heard her complain before that she's never met her fated Mr Right because she's too addicted to Otome games.

I wasn't too confident that I could win her heart, but who knows, if I don't try, it's impossible.

Yumeri sent me a link to Comic-Con, and to be honest, I kept it a secret from her; I didn't tell her that I was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Come on, a man who plays the sad card is so unmanly!

"I guess you're not doing anything tomorrow (●ﾟωﾟ●)?"

Yumeri is particularly fond of adding strange symbols to his messages, which look very lively.

"Ummm-Actually not," I typed into the chat box.

"Do you wanna drink coffee? with me!"

I can already think of the Coo-hei inside her accent; she's such a cute little bunny!

"Of course (●ﾟωﾟ●)," I replied, following her example.

I decided to say a few more words to make myself look a little more gentlemanly.

"When? I can drive to pick you up."

To show my sincerity, I sent her my neighborhood location.

"Tomorrow, 10 noon, see you at the City Centre."

--------

The next day I arrived at the expected location on time, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting her to show up right away; girls seem to need their dates to wait longer.

But to my surprise, she turned up unexpectedly and on time.

She was wearing a very form-fitting dress with a highly nice figure; her skin was a little pale and wrapped in a light pink fabric that looked like two grapefruits were tucked in her chest.

Big boobs, absolutely.

Her long black hair was cascading down her back, and her lips were covered in a thin layer of rose-colored lip gloss, looking sexy and lovely.

Yumeri burst into my arms, oh no, the car, like a little grey puffy bunny.

"Alex!!!" Her voice was sweet, like a bear greeting someone with a total dose of honey.

"I had thought you wouldn't be here on time."

"That depends on who I'll meet with!" She gestured to my car door, "Excuse me, where can I sit?"

"Anywhere, help yourself."

Where Yumeri and I are from, usually, only a guy's girlfriend is allowed to sit in the car's passenger seat.

I, a guy without a girlfriend, naturally had no restrictions on seating.

Like a cautious herbivore, she went to her fierce friend's house as a guest. She tentatively opened my door and took a seat on the passenger side.

"I thought Alex would have a girlfriend, oh~, but it doesn't seem to?"

"Apparently," My fingers tapped my car's stereo, "What song do you want to listen to?"

"Whatever," she said to me.

I thought of an RPG she and I had been playing recently, which should be a common language between Yumeri and me.

I picked a compilation of game-related soundtracks as a direct little tacit agreement between us.

"Nice taste!" she said, her eyes shining so brightly that they looked like they had stars twinkling in them.

"It's been a long time, the only time I hear your voice is when we play games together."

She sighed softly, "What about you? Is it because you're busy with something?"

Nope, not at all.

I thought about it and prepared a euphemism for the trouble I'd gotten myself into earlier,

"I was sick earlier, so I applied for a delay in graduation."

"Gosh," she looked surprised, "so are you better now?"

"No major problems for now, but still need active treatment."

Well, yes, that's a high EQ way of calling it as active treatment.

And to put it bluntly, I needed to get healing energy from it by sleeping with women and consuming their bodily fluids.

That sounds too much like a weird PORN plot, too, okay.

"Even in sickness, be hopeful; Nah, Alex Kun."

"Of-Humm, what did you call me?"

"Oppus, my fault; that's a specific way to show one's politeness in my hometown, which means sir."

"Gotcha."

I pretended not to understand; as a seasoned anime and manga lover, how could I not know the meaning of "Kun"!

I just thought her particular accent was particularly adorable!

I want more!

Her beautiful, delicate black hair fell over my left arm unintentionally, like a fluffy kitten greeting its owner.

We had arranged to go on an early trek today, aiming for the Comic-Con venue in three days. Yumeri and her friend were going to cosplay characters, so they needed to observe the environment in advance.

It was a suburb of the city, and Yumeri had surprisingly prepared sandwiches in advance; she was afraid we would be hungry; she is a considerate schoolgirl, indeed.

I shared her sandwiches with her.

"I hope you like the sanndoi-sandwich!"

"Anything you make is especially excellent, better than a cuisine."

She chose fresh salmon, and I thought this tasted so good.

"I have a question I've been dying to ask!" Her cheeks puffed out, and she looked like a little bunny.

"Uh huh?"

"Do you like me, Alex Kun?"

"Of course, I like you, Yumeri."

"I'm not talking about like between friends, but between lovers."

"I guess you want to talk about mates."

I could understand what she meant, but that wasn't how the word lover was used.

"Well!"

"I like you, and if you like me too, I think it would be my pleasure." I asked her, "Will you be my girlfriend, YU-ME-RI!"

"I do!" She looked so excited, bouncing around and being extra playful.

"Would love to make your sandwiches for the rest of my life."

"Can you say that one again, just that one?"

"WHICH ONE?"

"Sanndoiqti!" said I.

"Nah-well, perhaps sanndoiqti will fulfill the rest of your life."

Her jeweled hairpin glistened in the sunlight, looking like the progress of a game that had been lit up, giving the player hints-

Please forgive my poor metaphorical skills; I am not a person with a deep understanding of literature.

Perhaps the mood had been set, and I asked her out of tentativeness, "Can I kiss you right now?"

There seemed to be a part of her amber eyes that she didn't understand, and I couldn't guess if she was saying in her mind that this needed to be asked?

But she eventually nodded to me.

We kissed, as all mates do.

To my surprise, her lipstick tasted like mints, a breath of freshness and a hint of sweetness.

So that's what a girl's mouth tastes like!

My little brother was shameful - well, justly - hard!

Just then, my system suddenly prompted me.
