Yumi – connected feeling
ใGood night~ใ
I replied with a good night back to Nao-san, but my body felt so hot I couldnโt fall asleep. It wasnโt from a cold, nor was it from the bath as I entered an hour ago. It was just from Risa, who slept right beside me.
The footlights were on and a pale, brown light hung in the vicinity. Risa was already sleeping soundly. I wasnโt sure why, but I felt a sudden urge to see Risaโs face. I was too impatient to get my glasses and just turned sideways to look at her.
โSo close; so much so we could feel each otherโs warmth. I was sure my body was getting hotter from this.
As I was looking at her pretty and cute face, Risaโs eyelids trembled.
ใN….. Yumi……? ใ
It seems I woke her up. From looking at my phone earlier, it should be around 12 right now.
ใSorry, did I wake you up?ใ
ใMmm?…..it’s because it smelled like Yumi.ใ
I was sure it was because of the orange like glow that I could see Risaโs red face who just said those words. But ใmy smellใ…? ย My thoughts spun round and round, like a coffee cup being stirred and I couldnโt understand what was going on. My body couldnโt move at all. I could only feel Risaโs soft arm embracing my back.
ใR-Risa?ใ
I was about to ask, but thinking of the situation made my head grow so hot it could have made a kettle boil.
ใWhat~? ใ
I was turning my head inside-out looking for an excuse but in my current condition, there was none to be found.
ใUm…let’s see…….it’s already late so, let’s sleep? I’m excited for tomorrow. ใ
In a hurry, I tried to hide in my bed but stopped midway. Rather, I was pulled even closer to Risa.
ใAh, wait.ใ
ใW-what……? ใ
Risa who was in front of me hardened up as I embraced Risaโs back and waited for her words. We were so close that our breaths hit each other; the moment felt so long yet passed in an instant.
ใYumi…….I love youใ
The timeโฆ it felt like it stopped. Before I could notice it, I was tightly embraced and wrapped in a soft warmth. I didnโt know if the heat was from my rapidly beating heart or Risa warming up my body; all I knew was that I tightened my embrace of Risa so I wouldnโt let go of this warmth.
However, there was something I must say. I had to say my feelings too.
ใRisa…….right before the summer vacation, do you remember the letter in your shoe box……? ใ
ใOf course…I do.ใ
ใThat was.. mine. I was so scared that I couldn’t say it……ใ
I couldnโt hold back my tearful voice. Even though I tried to bear it, warm tears flowed, flowed like the river and soaked the bed.
ใMmm. I’m glad.ใ
For an instant, Risaโs hand left. Just when I took notice, I felt her patting my back and wanted to drown in the pleasantness.
ใI….that person who sent that letter…also thought that it was from Yumiใ
Eh? Thatโs. My head blanked out. Every thought I had was blown away. Just Risa and I, it was a world with just the two of us.
ใI noticed that it was from Yumi, and even though I noticed that I love Yumi too.ใ
Her voice sounded like she was about to cryโ I couldnโt take it anymore. Somewhere in me snapped and before I noticed it, my lips were touching something soft. When I opened my eyes, I was so close to Risa I could see her long eyelashes.
I just fully understood what I have just done. Why did I do it? I separated my arms from her and leapt to my bed.
ใS-sorry……it’s not like that.ใ
I was surprised and stunned while giving out excuses. Risa didnโt look angry or anything. She just crawled towards me and whispered into my ears.
ใCan I….do it too? ใ
Naturally, my right to refuse was taken away and I nodded. I closed my eyes and noticed a sweet scent. By the time I realized it was from Risa, our lips had already touched.
Risaโs kiss wasโฆ sweetโฆ and gentle. It was not like mine, stolen, but rather a something that wraps around me.ย
Our fingers entangled each other further as if we would never be separated for eternity. The heart inside my chest hurt but also felt so much better.
Before long, our lips separated. I lost strength and my body curled up. Thus, I was gently embraced.
ใRisa…..I love you…ใ
Something heated up inside my heart, something I couldnโt describe with just words. However, Risa who hugged me just like how a mother bird heats up her eggs, made me feel as if I understood anything and everything.
It was so warm that my consciousness flew away. I buried my head in Risaโs soft chest and surrendered to the aroma that drifted around her body.
