This was my second date with Fate-san. In the middle of our date, Fate-san found the answer to what her feelings really are, and I accepted them.
If I were to talk only about the results, the relationship between Fate-san and I changed from friends to lovers.
It’s a change that will have a great impact on the way we feel about each other. During our date so far, we had both been so conscious of each other that we had behaved in unnatural ways, and we’ve been pretty nervous.
But now that our relationship has progressed, the atmosphere between Fate-san and I has become more relaxed……
[……Ahh, errr.][……That is……]
[……K- Kai-chan, you go first.]
[N- No, you should speak first, Fate-san……]
——is what I thought, but instead of becoming more relaxed, the both of us were more flustered than before…… I- I wonder why? No, I think I know why.
One of the reasons is that Fate-san is surprisingly pure-hearted. I don’t know if it’s because she’s become too aware of the fact that we’ve become lovers…… but she looks even more restless than before she confessed.
As usual, her nervousness infected me as well. We even reached the point where we were too embarrassed to look at each other’s faces.
Furthermore, although I don’t think this is something I should say in front of the God of Fate, it feels like fate itself is increasingly trying to play its tricks on us. I was so nervous that I couldn’t face her, and thinking that the situation couldn’t go on like this, I turned towards her, but Fate-san also ended up turning around, and we ended up looking at each other at the same time.When I reached out for my drink, thinking of distracting myself, my hand ended up colliding with Fate-san’s hand, which was also reaching out her hand at the same time.
[……F- For the time being, let’s drink and calm ourselves……]
[U- Unnn, that’s right.]
As these strange coincidences happened again, I somehow brought my drink to my mouth…… wait, arehh? Grape juice? I’m pretty sure I’m drinking an apple…… ripple juice but……
[……………..]
[……………..]
It seems that Fate-san, like me, realized we picked up the wrong cup “after she drank its contents”, as after the both of us turned to look at each other at the same time…… we both lowered our heads, and I feel like my face is just as red as hers.
I- Indirect kiss….. T- This is kinda bad. When I try to not think about it, that thought ends up not leaving my mind at all.
Glancing to the side, my gaze fell on Fate-san’s soft lips, I flusteredly shook my head.
[……H- Hey, Kai-chan?]
[Y- Yes!]
[Y- You see…… Errr, would a k- kiss! …..b- be alright!?]
[Eeeehhhh!? Wait, Fate-san! W- What are you suddenly saying……]
Hearing the explosive remark that was suddenly thrown at me, I hurriedly asked back, realizing that my mind had gone blank in an instant.
Thereupon, Fate-san squirmed, looking embarrassed, as her index fingers poked at each other, she replied.
[W- Well, you see…… I- I don’t really know much about it…… but l- lovers, as expected…… they do s- stuff like k- kissing, right?]
I’d like to say it with those dangerous words, but I’d like to ask you first to stop with that overly cute gesture over yours. Seriously, it’s crashing down my composure to think properly.
[N- No, I don’t think it’s something that’s necessarily urgent. T- There’s no point in rushing it, and we’ll eventually reach that point……]
[I- Is that so. Kai-chan would really know about it after all. T- Then, what do you think…… lovers do on a date?]
[……………..]
Arehh? This is strange? I can’t think of anything at all. No, no, how the heck is this happening? I mean, I’m sure I’ve been on more than my fair share of dates. I’m pretty sure I should know more than Fate-san about things like this.
If that’s the case, I should be able to say something here based on the dates I’ve been on……. Eh? Why? Why the heck is nothing coming to my mind?
Or rather, I’ve only been able to look at Fate-san’s lips for a while now…… Could it be that I’m already at my wit’s end?
A- Anyway, staying like this won’t do. No, it’s not that I want to kiss Fate-san, but if I kiss her in a situation like this…… I would become so embarrassed that I don’t feel like I would be able to have a conversation for the rest of the day.
That’s why, I need to think. Is there anything that we still haven’t done on our date up to this point that feels like something lovers do……
[……U- Ummm, l- linking our arms…… together?]
[I- I see…… T- Then, should we link our arms…… and walk around the beach?]
[I- I guess so! I think that’s a good idea!]
In the end, I was only able to choose something safe, but this should give me some time to calm down. I’ll just have to think about what to do after that.
With that in mind, Fate-san and I began putting our leisure sheet away.
Dear Mom, Dad————- I’m pretty sure I’m already at my wit’s end today. And in such a state, there was no way that the answer I could come up with would go as I wanted. Yes, at that time, I still didn’t understand. No, such a thought completely slipped my mind. I didn’t think about what it would be like crossing my arm with someone, and most of all…… Crossing my arm with the petite Fate-san————– and the existence of the powerful weapons she possesses……
<Afterword>
Hint : Fate is a “big-breasted loli”.
