Stalled
The same as yesterday, I put Coach Ayu down on the sickroom’s bed and went to get medicine for her fever.
Minutes later, Sena showed up in the room with water and towel, all ready to tend to the sick woman on the bed. I messaged her as soon as I put Coach Ayu down so she probably cut her shower time short, evident by her wet hair that she failed to dry completely.
While we both sat down and looked after Coach Ayu, I told Sena what happened. She listened to everything I said first before commenting on it.
“I can’t say I’m entirely glad, Ruki. I just know that it’s for the best if that will happen. You two have been too awkward to each other, after all. Even before I teased her about having a crush on you. Do you think I won’t notice it?” Sena reached for my hand and squeezed my palms. This was her way to vent whatever negative feelings she acquired upon learning about it.
