Chapter 19: Miyukis Mistake



Chapter 19: Miyukis Mistake

***

Whats the occasion? How come youre dressed all pretty today?

It was a compliment meant for Miyuki who came to tutor.

As I said, Miyukis fit today was different than the usual uncomfortable looking one.

A dark blue, knee-length, high-waisted denim shorts.

A white t shirt that was tucked into that, along with white sneakers.

With a light cream-colored short-sleeved shirt designed specifically for outerwear to finish off.

The large black bag was a bit out of place, but it was the perfect fit for a summer day.

It very much fit Miyukis image.

Looking at her stretched snow-white legs, my desire to have her skyrockets again.

I want to make those knees bruised already.

Anyways, it should be alright to think that you changed your outfit to look good in front of me right?

Lets just think of it like that.

Thanks Matsuda-kun.

Miyuki came into my house with a cheery thanks.

As I shuffled to the side, I saw Tetsuya look at me as if I did something amazing.

He must have been jealous that I just did something he never could.

Tetsuya would never be able to compliment her like I just did, even if his life was on the line.

Hell just lamely think on the inside Miyuki Pretty

Only if Miyuki asked how is it?, then he will reply its pretty and thats it.

You gelled your hair?

I asked when I saw the sides of his head.

Tetsuya carefully touched his hair and asked.

Yeah. Does it look okay?

A little better than last time, but you also have to press from the front, and not just the sides.

Like this?

Yeah, kind of. Also dont put on too much. Your hair looks a little weird right now.

I understand. Thanks Matsuda.

Dont think that Im being nice to you.

If it was just us two, I would never tell you anything.

Before Miyuki walked into the living room, she decided to check on the plants first.

She looked happy as she saw that the plants were slowly reviving.

For the time being, I think I need to buy some more nutritional supplements and place them.

Shouldnt you be the one to take the nutritional supplements instead?

Why?

Its nothing. I was just worried about you is all.

After realizing I was talking about her height, Miyuki pouted a bit.

You have to limit how much you make fun of someones height.

It wasnt a soft spot for Miyuki or anything, but as many people are sensitive about the subject, it will ruin her mood if I keep bringing it up.

Around this much was the max.

I laughed alone at Miyuki and put my hand out to her.

Give me your bag.

Im fine Im coming in now.

Already? Shouldnt you rest a bit? Dont you have to take care of the plants you love so much?

Its a punishment. Were starting now.

What sin did Miura commit?

The sin of having friends like Matsuda-kun.

Me and him arent friends, we are competitors.

Well, more like predator and prey, but whatever.

Tetsuya, what do you think? Do you believe were friends?

Thanks to Matsuda, we get to study more, so I dont mind.

Still an idiot I see. This is your flaw.

I muttered and sat down by the table.

Miyuki sat in between me and Tetsuya, and quietly spoke to herself.

It just keeps getting hotter and hotter every day I want to eat the mango ice cream I had yesterday again

Mango ice cream was what we had after the movies.

Because of the coke spilt by that woman, people were talking about me, and Miyuki quietly laughed at me.

Youre thinking about that right now. However, you just made a mistake.

Mango ice cream?

At Tetsuyas question filled with curiosity, Miyukis face turned pale.

Tetsuya doesnt know that I went on a date with Miyuki.

If you dont want to be honest, youll gonna have to come up with someone on the fly. Whatll you do?

I was looking at Miyuki with an amused look on my face, as she rolled her eyes and smiled awkwardly.

I got some after we parted from the arcade It was delicious.

Really? Ive never had mango ice cream before Lets try it together next time.

Y-Yeah. Lets do that

The fact that she lied, means that she still cares a lot about Tetsuya.

She was probably worried that he would get jealous or something.

On the other hand, it must mean that Im also becoming more important to Miyuki.

If we were just friends, she would have no problem telling him we watched a movie and had ice cream together.

So this development is something I should celebrate, rather than be sad about.

If this continues on, Miyuki will think about this deeply later on.

Why she felt like she needed to lie about meeting with me to Tetsuya.

And then, she will realize her feelings about me one day.

I flashed a meaningful smile, revealing my white teeth, towards Miyuki who was glancing over at me.

Ahem

Miyuki cleared her throat as she pulled out books from her bag.

She rubbed her neck with her hands a couple times before speaking.

Today is english right? Ill test you guys on what we learnt yesterday before we get started.

**

I dont want to let Miyuki just go home today.

She showed off such a refreshing fit for the first time today, so I definately cant just send her off like this.

I pretended to go on my phone as soon as the tutoring ended and texted Miyuki.

[Do you want to get ice cream again today? With Miura.]

Buzz!

Miyukis phone began vibrating on the tatami floor.

After checking the message, Miyuki moved slightly towards me and tilted her head downwards.

Then I looked back towards my phone.

[Tetsuya-kun probably thinks I went to an ice cream place near by house though?]

[It is kind of close to your house anyways.]

[What if he asks Oh you two are back again today?]

I predicted that you were going to say this when I mentioned Tetsuya.

I already knew you werent going to bring him.

[If you feel that worried, come alone.]

[Ill think about it.]

[Ill leave a little later, so leave your bag at your house, ditch Tetsuya and come out.]

[I said Ill think about it?]

[Ill be waiting.]

When Miyuki read my forceful message, she looked at me in disbelief.

The way she glares is so sexy. Give me head with that expression.

What are you two doing just staring at your phones?

I put my phone away and answered naturally.

I was looking at cars.

You still havent picked one out?

Even if I normally act thoughtlessly, you need to be careful in picking a car.

At my self deprecating joke, Miura laughed a little.

Youre right about that one. What were you doing Miyuki?

Huh? I Was talking with a friend.

Who? Nanase?

No, its someone you dont know. Tetsuya-kun.

You had friends that I didnt know about? I guess someone from the academy?

T-Thats right Youre ready right? Lets go.

As Miyuki put on her heavy bag and got up, Tetsuya asked her.

Do you wanna go to a manga cafe on the way back or something?

Why does this bastard keep trying to take Miyuki to places.

Go play on a playstation with with your same-sex friends.

Miyuki wondered what to do for a moment.

Hmm I dont think I can today. Sorry.

This time, she didnt lie, she just straight up rejected him?

Im a little sad that she didnt say she was going to meet another friend, but since it looks like she wants to meet with me, Ill forgive her.

Is that so? Okay. Matsuda-kun, were going.

Tetsuya licked his lips as if he was disappointed, then waved to me.

When Miyuki wasnt looking, I responded to him with a middle finger.

Then, I headed to my wardrobe.

What to wear. A dress shirt with shorts, and a belt?

I think it feels a bit too formal.

Ill match Miyuki and dress casually.

**

Why is it so hot So annoying

When I complained waiting for the signal, Miyuki looked up at me.

Its annoying?

Yeah. It doesnt rain either If it stays like this until August, I might just die. Why doesnt the damn signal change

Matsuda-kun is too impatient. Just wait. Also, Tetsuya-kun told me on the way home. You swore?

When.

You did it with your fingers.

He already snitched on me.

Well, he probably meant it as banter between friends instead of tattling But I still dont like it regardless.

For this, youll be living our your final days punching the flooring thinking of the heroines that were taken from you.

I was just joking. Cant friends do this much? Are you gonna tell me to stop breathing too?

I was joking too. Ill look past this much. Since you were joking

I wasnt joking though? I was being sincere?

Biting my lips as if I had complaints, I naturally leaned my elbow on Miyukis shoulder while she turned her head towards the traffic light.

When I lifted a leg off the ground this way, Miyuki looked towards me again.

Matsuda-kun, youre heavy.

She didnt ask what I was doing or dodge my elbow. Just said it was heavy.

So am I to think this much is alright?

Ill do it often from this point on.

I held back my screams of celebration as I spoke.

Your shoulder is perfect to lean on, so just leaving it be would be what is it a crime.

Youre making fun of me for being short right?

Youre being delusional. I didnt mean it that way, so just lend me your shoulder once in a while.

I dont wanna.

Quite stern.

I learned from Matsuda-kun.

As we talked, the signal changed.

When Miyuki began walking, my elbow slid off her shoulder, and I was sent spinning.

Miyuki glanced at my one-man show, then turned forward while giggling.

I walked quickly to catch up, and began complaining.

Youre just gonna leave without saying a word? What if I fell?

Since Matsuda-kun is athletic, I was sure you wouldnt fall.

Well, I am pretty good at sports after all.

You liked my empty compliment that much? Youre just like a dog.

You wanna go? Youre surprisingly combative huh?

If its the new Matsuda-kun, I think I could win.

Im gonna kill you come here.

When I tried to grab Miyukis shirt, she laughed and ran away.

Its much more fun being with me than that boring Tetsuya right? I know it is.

I hope that you take good care of me from now on.

But looking at her right now, I guess she forgot about the stuff that happened with Tetsuya earlier.

Lets not bring it back up and make her uncomfortable.

Ill ask different things to make the atmosphere very lovey dovey.

I caught up to her again and asked.

What made you want to wear this instead of that uncomfortable looking skirt?

I just felt like it.

Keep dressing like this from now on.

Are you saying this because it actually looks bad and you wanna make fun of me?

Im not kidding. It really looks good on you. I told you so in the morning too.

Could she feel my sincerity from my tone?

Miyuki turned around and avoided my gaze.

Then, she spoke so quietly that it was almost unintelligible because of the sounds around us.

Thank you. Matsuda-kun you also look good today too.

I almost feel like I am living just for Miyukis compliments.

I feel like I could fly.

I grimaced to act as if I misheard what Miyuki said.

You think your outfit today is going to look good on me? Are you messing with me right now?

No thats not it Haah Whatever. Lets just go.

Miyuki sighed and walked away.

She must have been embarrassed.

I followed her while thinking about the final event in the summer break that will happen on August.

After that one, Ill just meet with Miyuki often and wait for school to start.

Then, Ill quit the circle so I can tell Miyuki how I feel.

By then, we would have been seeing each other almost daily for 3 months.

Thats more than enough time for a boy and a girl to fall in love right?

I believe in you, Miyuki.
