Shuki,

It's already late at night.

I said, but my voice seemed a little happy.

This was the first time I went to the house, and even if I was careful, it would be even worse now.

"Can I go?

As soon as I repeated, he said, "Yeah."

Seiji, you're a bad person.

I said it in a naughty tone, and later, I hung up.

Get ready and leave the room.

I was found there by Sauna, who came to get me.

"Ah, brother, where are you going?

"A little night out."

"It's Saturday tomorrow, it's bad!So, who do you play with at night...?

"Anyone."

"... Sana and the DVD show..."

"See you next time."

He waved his hand down the stairs and left the house.

This season's bikes are soaked in the cold wind.

It's so cold...

When I came to Shuki-chan's apartment, Shuki-chan had just returned.

"Good day at work."

When he found me, he ran and hugged me.

Hmm? I just used the scarf you gave me today.

"Fuwahn, Makoto-kun... the mountains are over... it looks like we can finally take a little slow"

I see. That's good.Good day. "

Because it's been a long time, Shugi won't leave at all.

"Hey, it's out here."

"Yes, that's right...."

There's nobody else, and the parking lot itself is dark, so you won't know who it is.

Grab your luggage and come into the room with me.

The room remains clean, even if work is busy.

"Wow...If I was busy at work, I wouldn't have done that at all... "

Hmm. But, Makoto, you're at your parents' house now, aren't you?

Ah, yabe.

"Ah... well, I'm just delusional about living alone."

Well, Shuki-chan didn't seem to care much.

I was sitting on the sofa and zapping the TV properly.

"Thank you, Haruka-san, for the muffler.Let me use it. "

"Yeah. Poor little thing told me, and I'm so relieved... that I followed you... and I was knitting a muffler by hand..."

Poor thing, I told Shuki-chan that I knew this relationship.

"Certainly... it's difficult to talk to you... or you're a very adult person."

Well, the contents are bees.

"Natsumi was also pulling a bit... 'Harumi, hand-knitting is heavy.It's time to stop. "

Shuki-chan looks like she can't solve it...

It's not a physical thing to say that you feel heavy.

"Eh? Hand-knitted, heavy...?

If you're going to give it to your lover, is it okay...?

Shuki-chan and I are screwed?

"That's right!It's not heavy! I'll tell Natsumi next time. "

"Ah, Doctor!

"Ha, ha!?I'm not a teacher, I'm Haruka-san!?

When I blush, my cheeks are pinched with my index finger.

Um...... this!I gave it away..... "

I take a present out of my pocket that I couldn't give.

A luxurious black box.It is small enough to be put on the palm of my hand.

Shuki-chan's eyes are round.

"Eh-? But today, I got a muffler...?

"Yeah, because it's from three people.That's it. This is from me.... "

Finally, Shuki-chan stared at the small box I gave her.

When I opened the small box, a silver ring of the brand I bought the other day appeared.

It's not that expensive to think of a birthday present for someone you care about.

If that's how I feel as an adult.

But I think it's pretty expensive considering that I'm a high school student.

"This...."

Shuki-chan was clogging up her words.

I was afraid of the reaction, and I couldn't see my face.

I'm serious, so buy something so expensive!It doesn't have to be said.

A woman... even Shogi, who doesn't like brands that much, knows about 100% of them.

I don't know what design women seem to like, and it's also possible that they don't like it...

I asked the clerk so much...There are personal differences in preferences...

"I'm so happy..."

When I saw Shuki-chan talking with tears, I saw tears accumulating in my eyes.

"... on which finger"

Remove the ring and take Shuki-chan's left hand.Put the ring through the ring finger.

It fitted perfectly.

"Happy birthday, Haruka-san."

Bwah, finally Shuki-chan started crying.

"Surprised...."

I hugged and stroked my head.Shuki-chan was still crying around her ear.

"I'm glad you're happy."

"I'm so happy... even though I was so happy with the muffler..."

Wipe your tears with your fingers and kiss gently.

Shogi-chan flew away from the first kiss to express her feelings.

The room should still be a little cold, but my face is burning up and strangely hot.

I kissed my lips enough to make them swollen, and Shuki-chan hit me in the ear with embarrassment.

"I want to make today a more special day... for you and me..."

When I tried to close my eyes, I quickly turned away.

"... yeah. Okay."

We didn't say anything, we didn't hear anything.

I took Shuki-chan with me to the bedroom.

"Oh, it's heavy, put it down, Makoto...."

"It's okay."

Put him down gently and kiss him again.

Take off your clothes.

~ ~

I found Shuki-chan breathing.

It was dark, but my face turned bright red.

I also nodded once, well understood.
