The next day, Zhou gave a thoughtful face when the tree asked his thoughts.
She didn't ask me if I cared for her at school, but when I stopped by the fast food store on my way home, she asked with a smile.
Sometimes I just came for potatoes because I want to pick something soggy, so maybe I shouldn't have stopped by if they asked me about this.
"I don't know... I just gave it to you normally"
"Happy for you?
"... well"
If I said I was happy or not, I was happy.
It wasn't an innocently shaky grin, but I think you're pretty happy because they turned you on a sweet, indescribably colorful smile that resembled a scuff.
That beautiful grin just makes me uncomfortable remembering.
If I returned it in as flat a voice as possible while keeping the heat from sneaking up on my cheek from the inside, the tree was nodding in the wind as I understood it to be "yeah yeah" with my arms together.
"Your reaction sounds pretty good. You were delighted to see her smile."
"Hmm,"
"You see. We're getting along steadily."
With a smudging tone and voice rather than teasing, Zhou bites his lips.
Trees don't step in where you don't want them to, but otherwise they are very hard to do because I point them out exactly as best friends. Thousands of years old and I were originally close to each other to get back at it, so I don't have the means.
Guru, the tree is laughing calmly at the perimeter where he stumbled on the words. I was angry that it was a subtly raw and warm look.
I can't help it, and the tree's bitter smile arrives around me pointing that way while picking the fries I asked for.
"I'm happy for you, aren't I? I was wondering if Spring was finally coming around."
"It's not like that."
"You don't know if it's for the other side, do you?
"... nothing like that"
Indeed, I know with my own hands that I trust Zhou deeply at midday. Whatever Zhou is the most trustworthy man of midday, enough to say, I'm going to stay close to her. At least, Zhou is the most forgiving person in the interactive range I can see right now.
However, if that's romantic sentiment, it wouldn't be.
Sometimes I can be treated as heterosexual, but that's common among heterosexuals. I have received a favor, but I don't think it's a favor in the sense of a love affair directed at the opposite sex.
It's only recently that I've gotten somewhat more familiar with Zhou, but no man has changed. I don't really think I'd like the type Zhou.
"You, when are you so humbled? Really, I don't think I can be liked."
"Instead of being given anything from that heaven... it's more of an effort, but you think I'm gonna be liked for working so hard and not taking it from a cute, amazing kid?
"If all pretty girls are tied up with capable beauties, they won't be terrorized."
I didn't think that was the kind of thing a tree in a beautiful man could say.
"Well, if that's what you say, so far, fine.... then let's prophesy as friends"
"What the fuck?"
"Soon you will change. Or there are signs of change. All you have to do is step out."
"... ok, talk to me"
"Ha ha, how many years do you think your friends have been doing this"
It hasn't been a year.
He laughs out of tease when he calmly puts in a penetration and says, "That was it."
This is the kind of casual interaction, but Tree, a friend from high school, is a man who understands and cares more about Zhou than his boyfriend who has spent time with a local junior high school.
"Tsukasa"
"Hmm?"
"You know, you're just saying that you don't deserve her, but you're admitting that you're fond of that way of saying things and attitude."
I was a little impressed but at the end of the day you said something extra so I got the fries, but I thought it seemed like a tree to come and flat apologize immediately.
"It was too late."
When I got home about an hour later than usual, midday with the apron on greeted me.
Which new wife I accidentally thought I was, probably because I had a conversation with a tree. I rush it out of my head because it's bad for me to be paranoid even though I don't have that kind of emotion at midday.
"Yeah, I was eating trees and potatoes."
"... even though it's before dinner"
"I'll be fine. I'll eat without leaving you"
The midday dish is a different belly, and the fries were modestly chosen size S in the first place, so it's not that I'm so bloated.
I am confident that I will be able to eat even if I am served the usual amount.
"Wouldn't you be fat...... but Zhou-kun is thin so maybe I could add some more meat"
"Shouldn't you be the one to flesh it out a little more? I'm afraid it's going to break."
"It's not easy to break."
"Really? Look, it's so thin."
Midday is luxurious and girly. Exercise can be done very thinly, so it feels not just thin, but tight and soft.
I'm sure it's going to break a puff, and if I grab a wrist to try it, my fingers are thin enough to turn lightly. I can also nod at my father's teaching that "girls should be treated gently and politely" because if I can help it, it's going to break.
I also thought when I held hands, it was too fine in the middle of the day and I was anxious to get hurt where I didn't know it.
The delicate fingertips are also going to break in a few things, which makes me wonder if they are so thin and okay.
When I touched my fingers to make sure they felt and touched me, the daylight was all over me.
Slightly face down, just gaze at the hand of the circumference you're holding.
On his pale colored cheeks, he hurried away, realizing that he was late and carelessly touching him without permission.
"... that, I'm sorry. I don't like being touched."
"Yes, no... I don't like being touched by Zhou-kun"
If you stare into the middle of the day, spinning words that doubted your ears for a moment, you will look up at midday as if you realized what you had said.
In addition to the cheeks, which were darker than earlier, Zhou's eyes were slightly moistened from shame, so he couldn't resist.
"That doesn't mean touching it. I just don't want anyone else to touch me."
"Oh, wow."
That being said, the high heartbeat doesn't fit inside.
I understand that midday gives Zhou special attention as a close person, but when you put it that way, you are likely to give a convenient interpretation, so I hope you will stop.
"... that's right. Yesterday, you didn't wear it. Oh, no, it's not a reminder or anything."
When I ask her to delude her that her heart is loud, she looks at her wrist at midday and gently fingers where her circumference was gripping her.
"... if you wear it when you do chores, it will get in the way and hurt you faster. … I want to take care of it, so I can wear it on my day off"
"... well"
Zhou nearly sat on the spot in jeopardy after being told why he was so naughty.
There's no man who's unconscious when he says something cute like that.
The fact that he cared about the gift and that he intended to wear it properly, and as for the periphery, it seemed hard to overflow all sorts of emotions from his chest.
The circumference breathes slowly and deeply once to calm down, recognizing with his head his heart bouncing loudly.
"... if you liked it, I'd love it"
"I like it, and I'll take care of it. Kuma, keycase, bracelet."
I don't hesitate to use the hand cream, but at midday when I loosened my license with a small smell of light, Zhou couldn't bear to take off his shoes and hurriedly took off his shoes and went up the hallway from standing.
"... I'll get dressed"
"Yes. Go, Zhou-kun."
Zhou, feeling like he was being sent out to his new wife when he got home and his heart rumbled again, entered his room early enough to crouch on the floor.
