Second Interlude

“You don’t want to have any regrets, right?” After I said that, my lips involuntarily curled up into a self-deprecating smile. “Welp, it’s weird to hear that from me when I’m full of regrets.”

I was trying to give Natsuki advice, but my words completely recoiled back on me. Who was I to talk when the past was all I sought after. But I don’t want you to become like me. The goal you first aimed for—that rainbow-colored youth—I want you to continue moving towards it. Even if my youth is stained gray as a result.

“Can I ask what happened?” Natsuki asked, studying my complexion.

I was a bit surprised. For a thickheaded boy, he’d actually managed to pick up that I was behaving strangely. But he still didn’t notice the reason why. It’s all your fault, I wanted to say. Because I love you, because I can’t stop loving you, being around you hurts. After all, there’s already a girl—a girl who’s not me—by your side... It’s too late to tell you how I feel now.

“You’re the only person I won’t tell. But I’ll have you know, it’s your fault.”

“What?!” Natsuki’s eyes widened in surprise. Evidently, he hadn’t expected it to be his fault.

That’s what you get! I hope you reflect on your behavior a little. I didn’t want to fall in love with you either. That’s why it’s all your fault I’m like this now. “We’d better head home now.”

“Yeah. Any later and we’ll miss the last train.”

“But I’m too tired to stand up.” I almost got depressed there, but I managed to cover it up.

I got up as I gazed at the night sky above us. It was clear, unlike my spirits. Suddenly, Natsuki’s face came into view. He looked at me, his expression pinning me a hopeless troublemaker. I couldn’t help it; it felt like my chest was being crushed. I didn’t want to part with him here. I wish you’d look at me like this forever... I don’t want you to go to her.

“Huh?” I uttered, so unnaturally that I couldn’t believe that it had come from my own mouth. I’ll pretend I tripped. That’ll be my justification.

I leaped into Natsuki’s chest and wrapped my arms around his back. I thought I’d already known, but it dawned on me just how much he’d grown. He had been smaller than me when we were children.

I held him tightly. He was tense and his chest hard. There was no trace of his soft belly from middle school. I felt how striking his body, the fruits of his efforts, had become. Natsuki extended his arms behind me. Even though I knew he was simply supporting me because I’d almost fallen, my heart jumped for joy. My pulse raced like it was dancing.

“S-Sorry... My legs won’t listen to me.” I couldn’t suppress my swelling feelings.

“I told you we should’ve stopped sooner.”

“No way, I’d hate that. I can’t end on a loss.”

“You’re still the sore loser I remember.”

I’m begging you. Please forgive me.
