I had used the Aterazawa’s kitchen a few times in the past. Whenever they would have Miu and I over for dinner, I would help with the cleanup and dish washing. When I mentioned I would be stopping by today, Tomomi let me know that I was free to use the kitchen, so I took her up on it.

I lightly warmed up the congee that I had brought over in a pot and poured a portion out into a bowl before bringing it to Takkun’s room.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Here you go.”

“Thank you,” Takkun said as he sat up and reached out for the bowl of congee.

“Oh, hold on, it might be a bit hot still.” I grabbed the bowl before he could and scooped up a mouthful in the spoon. Then, I blew on the spoonful several times to cool it down. “Here, it’s ready. Open up.”

“Huh...?” Takkun blushed and froze up as I brought the spoon towards his mouth. Seeing his reaction, I finally realized my mistake.

“Oh! I-I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to! I always do this for Miu, so I just... Whenever she gets sick, she becomes such a baby, so!” I shouted, bright red.

“I-It’s all right! I understand!” Takkun said back, still blushing.

After we’d finished yelling at each other, Takkun took the tray I had brought the food on and began to eat the congee, this time on his own.

“Ooh, it’s good.”

“Really? I’m glad to hear that.” Takkun continued to scarf down the congee. It’s a good sign that he has an appetite. He’s got some color to his face too. I hope he continues to get better. As I watched him eat, I was suddenly thinking of the past. “I used to be able to feed you...”

“What?”

“Didn’t I spoon-feed you a bunch of times?”

“Well...isn’t that when I was younger? You kept doing it, so I just obliged...”

“Hee hee, that’s right. You seemed so embarrassed every time, but you let me feed you anyway. It was so cute.”

Takkun’s face turned red, and he was lost for words. His reaction was so cute, I couldn’t help but keep going. “Speaking of the past, you were calling me Mommy Ayako earlier.”

“Guh! Ack, gack!” Despite choking on his food, Takkun managed to somehow get the congee down. “Y-You heard that?”

“I did.”

“Shoot... No, I mean, I was just dreaming about the past, that’s why.”

“He he, it feels so nostalgic to be called Mommy Ayako. You suddenly started calling me Miss Ayako one day.”

“Of course...I couldn’t keep calling you Mommy Ayako forever.”

“That’s true...” He was right—of course he couldn’t. The boy who’d been ten years old when we’d met was now twenty. In the past ten years, he had grown from a boy into a man. Despite that, there was a part of me that kept treating him like a child. That was why I hadn’t noticed—why I couldn’t notice—the feelings he had been harboring. Because of that, I was currently confused and wandering.

Takkun wasn’t at fault. All he’d done was live his life earnestly, devoted continuously to his feelings.
