Chapter 14: 14

Title: The People in His Life

 
As I lay down in bed, I looked at my smartphone—No, to be specific, I was absent-mindedly looking at the phone strap that he had given to me. My lips unconsciously bent upwards into a smile. I’m so happy, I’m so incredibly happy. I feel like I’m the one who has constantly been receiving stuff from him.
 
And I’m only gradually getting more and more greedy.
I knew the real reason why it had become difficult for me to breathe today.
 
It was because I was jealous of Yayoi-sensei. She was the person that asked Fuyu-kun to meet me, so I was truly grateful to her for that.
 
‘But,’ I wondered, ‘Just how much of a position does Yayoi-sensei have in your life, Fuyu-kun?’ Whenever I thought about that, I felt a pang in my heart.
The words Fuyu-kun had said—Even now, I could still hear them play in my head, making my heart ache each time they did.
 
■■■
 
“I mean wouldn’t everyone want to eat your food? When I talked to Yayoi-sensei, she was concerned about you, but she also really wanted to try your sweets too.”
“I see……”
 
In that instant, my heart began to ache. 
 
I could tell that I was being selfish. I wanted to know more and more about Fuyu-kun, and I wanted to monopolize him for myself. I realized that my selfishness was totally out of control.

 
I wanted Fuyu-kun to be the one to eat them—
“Actually…..I made a bit too many scones. Could you take some with you as dessert for your lunch tomorrow? There’s enough for you to share some with Natsume-sensei too.”
“Huh? You’re fine with giving me them?”
 
“Yeah….you’re the person I want to eat the scones the most, I guess? I like seeing your expression as you eat. You make it look delicious.”
“Don’t I just look incredibly gluttonous?”
 
He laughed, making me smile as well. I just really want Fuyu-kun to be the one to have them. Just the thought of hearing him say “it’s delicious” again makes me want to make even more sweets. It was because Fuyu-kun had gradually captivated me under his spell. That was the only way to explain why my heart sometimes began to beat faster while I was watching his smile. 
 
But my greed was slowly overflowing. I wanted to go to more and more different places with Fuyu-kun. Knowing him, he would probably go along with all my selfishness without a single complaint.
 
That was another reason I needed to try my hardest. Because, with his innate kindness, Fuyu-kun would surely put another person under his spell. It could be Yayoi-sensei, it could be somebody else.
 
Was I overthinking it? I felt like I was, but, once you get greedy, it’s impossible to not want more. I think that was why I was feeling so impatient. 
I took a deep breath, trying to conceal my feelings.
—Then, Fuyu-kun whispered something to me
 
“It’s okay, let’s do this together.”
Fuyu-kun’s words grabbed me tightly, not letting me go. I couldn’t do anything except nod. I was so incredibly happy, but, if my emotions erupted here, I’m sure he’d think of me as a weird girl.

 
“You don’t have to do it alone. If you can’t do it, you don’t have to force yourself to do it today. But you aren’t alone. I might be unreliable, but we can do this together.”
 
It was because Fuyu-kun was always saying things like this so casually, so coolly—It was because of that that I was put under his spell. Oh, this might be bad. I don’t think I can contain my emotions anymore. I tried my hardest to suppress them as much as I could.
 
This is happiness. All because Fuyu-kun is here. That’s the sole reason.
 
But something was still smoldering in my chest.

Just how much of a position does Yayoi-sensei have in his life? That’s the only thing that wouldn’t leave my mind.
 
 
■■■
 
 
My breathing was okay. Even leaving the entrance, I still felt okay. I thought that would be the case. After all, Fuyu-kun was with me.
We walked past the garden and onto the road, and I tried asking requesting something, though I knew my request was pushing it.
 
“There’s a park near here. Could we try going there?”
 

Fuyu-kun looked at me with a worried face. Then, thinking about it for a little bit, he gave a small nod.
 
“Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
 
I could tell that he was very worried about me. Taking his words to heart, I nodded and smiled.
I want to be near him more. I want to see his many expressions. That’s all I wanted.
 
 
■■■
 
We made steady progress. Fuyu-kun walked right beside me, not moving too fast or too slow. At this rate, I should be able to make it to the park.
 
Then, I heard footsteps. I saw a person. At first, I saw Yayoi-sensei in that person’s appearance. I felt my heart clench.
I’m in the middle of rehabilitation with Fuyu-kun right now. I’m begging you, don’t get in the way. Don’t take him away from me.
 
I’m not sure what I was thinking. I felt myself grow more and more panicked. 
 
Then, that figure’s appearance changed.
I’m pretty sure I saw Kaizaki-kun in that person’s appearance.
Then, I saw my childhood friends from preschool.

 
They hurled those words at me.
Stop, don’t say that in front of Fuyu-kun.
 
I can bear it.
But please, just not in front of Fuyu-kun. I’m begging you.
 
I’ve finally……finally….found someone who I feel safe around. I’ve finally met someone who doesn’t laugh at me when I put in effort. I’ve finally met someone that tells me that I’m fine as I am. I have finally met someone who will walk beside me and will be there for me.
　
So I’m begging you, don’t take Fuyu-kun away from me—
 
 
■■■
 
 
I was swallowed up in a muddy stream of emotions—I couldn’t breathe.
