Heart

Entering the convenience store, the two of them, holding hands like lovers, made their way to the food section.

Looking at the dazzling array of snacks, Tsukimi Chifuyu turned her head and asked him softly while looking at it.

"Fuyumi, do you want to buy some snacks?"

Holding Tsukimi's soft and delicate hand, Sasaki looked at the shelves and gently nodded. "Yeah, do you have any recommendations?"

"Of course~"

Her eyes that shone brightly under the light and scanned the rows of shelves.

When the girl knew that Fuyumi wanted to buy snacks, she instantly became energetic.

"These cookies taste great, but eating too many can get cloying, just a little would be enough."

"This jelly tastes amazing, do you want to buy a pack of it, Fuyumi?"

"And this…"

Following Chifuyu Tsukimi, Sasaki rested his arms on the shopping cart, looking at her lively movements with soft and smiling eyes.

Although they had only known each other for a day, Chifuyu Tsukimi always appeared shy and easily bullied both outside and inside the school, but she would become more lively when it came to food.

This was something Sasaki noticed when he saw her snacking at lunch.

This also explains how her super figure came about.

After all, the meat has grown where it should, so it's the beaver's business to eat more.

As the items in the shopping cart gradually increased, the girl, who had finished recommending what she thought was delicious, patted her chest.

Looking back, she wanted to ask Fuyumi if there was anything else he wanted to buy, but she happened to meet those exceptionally soft eyes.

Under the hair on his forehead, his light brown eyes shimmered with dazzling light under the overhead lights, reflecting a captivating softness that mirrored her own figure, and his slight smile seemed to tug at her heartstrings.

With the corners of his mouth raised, her beating heart felt pulled out of the water like a fish that had just bitten into the bait.

Feeling her heart almost leap out of her throat, Tsukimi Chifuyu's cheeks heated rapidly, and she quickly turned away before she could say anything.

'That look is so foul~'

Covering her face with her hands, recalling the look that seemed to suck her in just now, the girl felt a little dizzy, as if she was drunk.

It was a feeling she had never experienced with anyone, but it made her particularly attached and made her want more of it.

Because in those eyes, she saw the care that only belonged to her, and the feeling that his eyes were full of her made her whole heart warm.

'Will Takagi-san look at me like that? '

Holding her heavy heart, Tsukimi Chifuyu thought of her closest boyfriend.

But upon careful reflection, she realized that in their two months together, there hadn't been anything particularly special or feelings like this…

Not knowing the random thoughts in the girl's mind, the boy, who was pushing the shopping cart and following her, watched her suddenly turn around and then back again and tilted his head in confusion.

Then he looked at her standing there without moving, and then came to her side.

"Chifuyu?" Sasaki patted her shoulder and asked in confusion.

"Ah ah!"

Chifuyu Tsukimi, who felt as if she had been electrocuted, screamed and raised her head.

Looking at the boy's confused and worried eyes, and thinking of her outcry just now, she Tsukimi pursed her lips tightly, twisted her neck, and quickly looked around.

After noticing that the eyes of the people around them were focused on them, she lowered her head in embarrassment and used the hair on her forehead and ears to cover her flushed cheeks.

Seeing Tsukimi's look of wishing to hide away, Sasaki, with one hand on the cart, wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her into an embrace, and showed an apologetic smile to the onlookers.

Chifuyu Tsukimi, who had found support, bowed her head in his arms extremely cooperatively, her white and red hands tightly holding the clothes on his chest.

The people around them saw just a pair of handsome young lovers having fun, and after taking one look at them, they stopped paying attention.

It wasn't until the girl noticed that the surrounding sight had disappeared that she realized how close the two were now.

Despite her exceptional figure, Tsukimi wasn't tall, barely reaching Sasaki's collarbone.

At this time, her whole body was curled up in Sasaki's arms, and his chin was pressing on the top of her head.

The two of them could be said to be in perfect harmony.

Even the small watermelons on her chest were squeezed into watermelon pie because she was eager to avoid other people's eyes.

Feeling the heat from the body on the other side, transmitted into her heart through her soft melons, Chifuyu Tsukimi, who was feeling hot and weak all over, clenched the clothes on his chest harder.

The pleasant scent of him lingering on the tip of her nose mixed with the fragrance of his laundry detergent, made her nuzzle her little head unconsciously.

'Is this what it feels like to be held in a boy's arms? '

Chifuyu Tsukimi, whose body was getting hotter and warmer, feeling as comfortable as a hot spring bath, knew in her heart that she could no longer hold her like this.

But the sense of security that came back from the bottom of her heart made her unwilling to leave this warm embrace.

Before she entered high school and fell in love, she also dreamt that she would lie in her lover's arms and play coquettishly with all her heart attached to him.

And when Takagi confessed to her, she was also looking forward to such a scene.

Hoping one day, he would wrap his arms around her waist, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, speaking words meant only for lovers.

But after dating for two months, the most outrageous thing they did was holding hands and running across the street together last week.

Maybe because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Perhaps blinded by love, even though Takagi never met her expectations, Tsukimi would make all kinds of excuses for him.

The one that was used the most was Takagi-san's late bloomer.

As long as the two of them stay with each other and get along with each other, Takagi-san will eventually understand.

She always said this to herself.

As for Tsukimi herself taking the initiative...

One must know very well that there's a big difference between a girl asking a guy to do something and him doing it on his own initiative.

After all, things concerning men and women, those who are interested don't need to be taught, and those who are not interested can't be taught.

Therefore, Chifuyu Tsukimi didn't know how long it would take for Takagi to regain consciousness.

The reason that she didn't know was that the two of them didn't have much time to cultivate their relationship.

Because they were not in the same class, they rarely saw each other during get out of class.

During lunch breaks, Takagi needed to socialize, preferring to eat with his classmates or club members, so they rarely had lunch together.

The reason why she was lying on the table feeling sad at noon was because he had obviously promised her to have lunch together today, but suddenly changed his mind.

Although this would not make her question Takagi's feelings for her, it would still cause her to wonder whether she was unattractive or not important to him.

The only times they could meet and spend time together were on the way home after school and during the weekends.

But because he often had extra training, there were not many opportunities for them to go home together after school.

As for getting along on Sunday...

Perhaps Takagi was just a late bloomer, or perhaps he had the intention but not the courage.

When he asked Tsukimi to go out to date on Sunday, he rarely took the initiative to ask for physical contact between the two of them.

Even holding hands was something he only suggested last week.

If he continues at this uninterrupted pace, Tsukimi may have to wait until the beginning of the senior year of high school to realize his expectations.

but...

Chifuyu Tsukimi's heart trembled when she felt Fuyumi's lips touching the hair on top of her head.

She didn't know what she was thinking.

The small hand that was originally clutching the clothes on the boy's chest slowly stretched out and moved from his chest towards his back.

Sasaki, who knew that she wanted to hug him, had no intention of letting her have her way.

The moment he noticed her movements, his palm that was originally around her waist gently poked her soft willow-like waist.

"Yiya~"
