The red-eyed devil on the house
Chapter 1
——Have you heard the legend of the red-eyed demon on the rooftop? ——
It was just a coincidence that Yamato Mamoru Anding stepped into the rooftop that no one has ever visited.
Holding the bento I brought from home in my arms, I walked through noisy corridors, thinking about changing places for lunch at noon today, and unknowingly stopped and raised my head, only to realize that I had reached the stairs leading to the rooftop.
Looking around, there was no one there, and it was surprisingly quiet.
It was supposed to be a door that had been locked all year round, but upon closer inspection the old lock on the door was empty.
Today's weather is not that bad, even if a person eats on the rooftop, it doesn't matter.
Yamato Mamoru Anding just pushed open the dusty door.
The moment the door was pushed open, the oncoming wind stirred up a cloud of dust, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Maybe it's better to find another place, he has no interest in eating in the dust.
Putting down the arm covering his face, a wonderful figure entered Yamato Moriya's field of vision.
A boy who was not wearing a school uniform but a white shirt and black vest stood quietly in front of the barbed wire reading a heavy book.
The boy didn't feel any surprise when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind him, he leisurely closed the book and turned around to look at Yamato Shou Anding who was standing at the door.
"Sorry, I thought there was no one here..."
"In fact, there is no one."
The boy pointed to the bench beside him, indicating that Yamato Moran Ding could sit here.
Red, like his eyes, the teenager's ten fingers are also red.A bright red that shines brightly in the sun.
Looking at the boy's beautiful pupils, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in my heart, but I couldn't know the real meaning of this feeling.
After hesitating for a while, Yamato Mamoru Anding closed the door with his backhand, and walked to the boy with his bento box in his arms.
Out of curiosity, he quietly glanced at the book in the young man's hand. It seemed to be a research book on psychology such as human memory. Why would he read such an incomprehensible book here alone?
Seeing that Yamato Anding sat on a chair and opened a lunch box to prepare for lunch, the boy also sat down, crossed his left leg on his right, and propped his chin to watch Yamato and Anding pick up the food and put it in his mouth. .
Being stared at by the people next to him made the food hard to swallow. Yamato Shou'an swallowed the mouthful of food forcefully, put down his chopsticks and met the boy's unabashed gaze.
"……you're not eating?"
The boy just smiled and shook his head.
"Being stared at by you like this, I feel uncomfortable and can't eat well...how about I share some with you and we eat together?"
"I appreciate the kindness." The boy put down his hand on his chin and put it on the bench. "Because no one comes here at all, so I wonder what kind of rough guy would eat here as if nothing happened."
Yamato Mamoru Anding also found it strange at first, everyone seemed to avoid approaching here, coupled with the astonishing dust when the door was opened just now, no matter how you look at it, no one has been here for several years.
However, now here besides myself, there is an exception.
"Aren't you here too? Not wearing a school uniform... Could it be a student from another school?"
Saying that, Yamato and Mamoru tried his best to recall, but he couldn't find the school uniform that was exactly the same as that of the boy from his memory.
Moreover, students from other schools may not be able to easily enter the rooftop of their own school.
So Yamato Shou Anding turned the possibility to the direction of the same school students.
"Hmm... Or did you skip class and come here, so you didn't wear a uniform?"
However, if you think about it seriously, whether you skip class or not has nothing to do with him not wearing a uniform.Although the school rules are not so strict, it is impossible for people without uniforms to pass through the school gate.
Yamato Mamoru's serious thinking made the young man laugh, and the young man waved his hands calmly and denied all his conjectures.
Unable to make the guess, Yamato Shou Anding tried to make a final struggle.
"I see, you are a student who dropped out of school! That's why..."
Now that you have dropped out of school, there is no need to come to school.
Before the words were spoken, Yamato Shou'an himself sensed that something was wrong, and quickly stretched out his hands to cover the boy's mouth to prevent him from uttering negative words.
Unless the boy himself wanted to tell him, it seemed impossible for Yamato Morita to guess the correct answer.
For Yamato Anding's sudden move, the boy didn't dodge or dodge, nor did he show any disgust, he just pointed to the half-eaten lunch that Yamato Anding left next to him.
"Didn't you eat lunch? If you continue to dawdle, the lunch break will be over."
The breath between the words brushed Yamato Moran's fingers, and the hot and humid feeling was fleeting.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Yamato Mamoruan withdrew his hand, picked up the bento and ate it without saying a word.
As soon as the lunch box was packed, the bell for the end of the lunch break rang throughout the school.Immediately stood up and strode towards the door, and just put his hand on the dusty doorknob, Yamato Mamoru turned around and looked at the boy sitting on the bench watching him off.
"Then I'll go back to the classroom first....Can I come next time?"
"It doesn't matter, as you like."
Yamato Moran Ding waved goodbye to the boy, and then closed the door.
After Yamato Anding left, the boy slowly stretched out his hand to touch the place where Yamato and Anding had been sitting just now, and the remaining heat spread to the palm of his hand.
Slightly narrowing his slender eyes, the boy smiled softly.
"...Really, idiot."
The day after meeting that enigmatic boy, it began to rain, and the rain lasted for several days.Yamato Shou Anding, who was passing by the stairs with a bento, still didn't set foot on the stairs in the end.
Finally, when the sky cleared, I was invited by a friend to have lunch together.
Then came the weekend.
Yamato Mamoru Anding also tried to find someone to ask if he knew a boy wearing a black vest, but everyone said how could there be such a person in the school.
In the end, it was still impossible to figure out the true identity of the boy and the reason why he appeared on the rooftop.
Ghosts... it shouldn't be possible, right?
Stepping into that deserted rooftop again was after school on Wednesday.
As soon as the school bell rang, Yamato Shou'an grabbed his schoolbag and trotted all the way to the stairs leading to the rooftop under the warning of the passing teacher "no running in the corridor".
He had only seen that boy once, so he was not sure that he would be there.Yamato Moran Ding stood still in front of the door, taking a few breaths before he managed to stabilize his breathing.
Just bet once.
If possible, Yamato Shou Anding is willing to spend his life's gambling luck here.
After making up his mind, he forcefully pushed open the door of the roof, and the direct sunlight coming in without any hindrance was so dazzling that Dahe Shou'an's eyes were completely white, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a while.
After closing the door behind him, Yamato Mamoru Anding raised his hand to block the sunlight in front of him, and searched for the boy's figure on the empty rooftop, but he couldn't find it after searching around.
Maybe he's not here today, or maybe he won't show up again.
Just when Yamato Shou Anding was thinking about it and was about to give up, a voice he had heard came from above.
"Yo, are you looking for me?"
Looking up in the direction of the sound, I saw the young man leaning out from the top of the stairwell, and waving his hand as if to say hello to Yamato Moran.
The sudden appearance of the young man really startled Yamato Moran. Although he did come to look for him, he didn't expect him to be there.
It was as if he had been here from the beginning, and existed here as a matter of course.
"It's really here... I thought you had already gone back, or something."
"Ok?"
Humming a questioning syllable with his nose, the boy quickly jumped off the roof and stood still in front of Yamato Shou'an.
What he is wearing today is not the black vest he wore last time, but a black and red knitted coat.
Is it because the weather is a bit cold?
Yamato Mamoru noticed that the boy's hair tail and the bundle of hair hanging down to his chest were a bit messy, as if he had just tidied it in a hurry.
"Have you been taking a nap until just now?"
The young man who seemed to be hit by the rumor unconsciously looked away, laughed dryly twice, and wanted to change the subject.
"...This kind of thing, whatever. So what do you want from me?"
"Nothing special."
I just came to the rooftop with a gamble mentality to see if the boy would still be here. Once I was in front of me, I didn't know what to say.
It would be considered a strange guy who came here even though he was fine.
Although the boy in front of him is [-]% weirder than himself.It can even be said to be a bit suspicious.
"Is not you going home?"
"Hmm - guess what?"
The topic was obviously avoided by the teenager.The evasion was too obvious, Yamato Shou'an thought about it and didn't continue to ask.
"Then, talk to me for a while."
"Okay."
The boy smiled and pulled Yamato's Anding's wrist, walked to the bench closest to them, patted off the thin layer of dust on the chair, and sat down.
Yamato Morita looked at the chairs on both sides, only this bench had signs of being used.
Keeping his doubts in his heart, Yamato Mamoru Anda began to talk about the small daily things that can be used as a topic of conversation recently under the gaze of the boy with a little expectation.
Why would I want to meet this enigmatic boy?Yamato Shou Anding thought about it a little bit, but he couldn't come up with a clear answer.
Maybe it's just looking at him alone, a little lonely.
Alone in this kind of place where no one visits.
Maybe it's because I'm looking for extraordinary stimulation deep in my heart.
Unknowingly, the setting sun had already dyed the sky orange red, and Yamato Shou Anding, who was so happy chatting with the boy that he forgot the time, was interrupted abruptly by the boy in the middle of his words.
"It's already this time, isn't it too bad that you don't go back soon? The school gate will be locked."
"Ah, I completely forgot... Thank you for chatting with me for so long, I forgot to ask your name last time, can you tell me?"
"California."
The boy just stretched his waist and spit out a few syllables lightly, it seemed that he didn't intend to tell Yamato Shou Anding his name other than his surname.
Only the surname is more convenient to address. To be honest, Yamato Shou Anding secretly thought about how to address him for a long time.
Yamato Mamoru put his schoolbag on his shoulders, said goodbye to California who watched him not intend to leave, and opened the door.
"I'm leaving first, and you should be careful on the way back!"
"On the way back, huh... well, I see."
The moment the gate was closed, the sound of the chains wrapped around the gate colliding with each other echoed in the silent rooftop.
Yamato Shou'an now feels as if he has a secret friend.
Although he didn't know anything about California other than what he was willing to tell himself, there was one thing that Yamato Mamoru was sure of, and that was that he could meet him as long as he went to the school's rooftop.
So since then, Yamato Shou'an has become a frequent visitor to the school rooftop.Sometimes even sneaked into the school on weekends, risking being caught by the security guards, and wanted to see California.
After getting along for a long time, Yamato Shou'an's doubts about California gradually accumulated bit by bit.
I have never seen California outside of the rooftop, and even if I asked my classmates, I didn't get any sighting information.
So far, Yamato Shou Anding still has no idea how he got into the school.
And when eating lunch with him, it would be more correct to eat while being watched by him rather than eating with him.
Speaking of which, Yamato and Shou Anding haven't seen California eating with his own eyes.
Imagine it a little bit... I always feel a little lustful.Must be the fault of California's overly showy face.
It is so mysterious that it seems that California is a monster that can only be seen by oneself.
Youkai... huh?Speaking of which, there seems to be some legend circulating in the school, the content... what is it?Can't remember.
"I said California, do you want to hang out together this weekend?"
"No."
Yamato Mamoru Anding hesitated for a long time before saying the invitation, but was rejected by California without thinking.
Although he was mentally prepared to be rejected, Yamato Shou'an couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he was rejected so decisively.
Seeing Yamato's Anding's obvious disappointed expression, California still didn't have any intention of changing his answer.
As if to divert attention, California was more involved in the game in hand than before, but Yamato Morinda next to him persistently gave him a look of "why not go".
Yamato Mamoru's steady gaze was too revealing, even California, who was focused on the game, accidentally lost to the BOSS in the game with a distraction, and had to choose to surrender and put down the game console in his hand.
"There's no need to go outside. If you want to play, can't you play here?"
California let out a breath and returned the game console to Yamato Shou'an, stood up and moved his body that had been in one posture for a long time, went straight to the corner and sat on the floor casually, yawning.
"I'm a little sleepy, sorry, can you go back today first?"
A little surprised, this is the first time California has shown such a defenseless state in front of itself.
At this time, Yamato Mamoru noticed that there were two knives in the knife bag next to the seat where California was sitting. Because the pockets were not tied, a little bit of the black handle was exposed.
When I came to see him before, I didn't seem to see these two knives. Are they placed somewhere else?After all, why would he carry such a thing?
Another new question came to mind.
California, who was still yawning a moment ago, is now in a deep sleep with his head leaning against the barbed wire behind him.The sleeping face of California breathing quietly makes people feel as if the heart has missed a beat.
"Sleep so fast..."
He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of California, but did not get any response, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yamato Mamoru Anding quietly took one of the knives out of the knife pocket carefully, because he was a little nervous when touching this kind of thing for the first time.
He brushed the black scabbard with his fingertips, grasped the handle and slowly pulled the blade out of the scabbard a little. Yamato Shou'an's face was clearly reflected on the shiny mirror-like body.
This knife seems to be very sharp, it must be difficult to use it.
Suddenly, the tired voice made Yamato Shou'an come back to his senses.
"It's just a model knife, not real. Can you put it back carefully?"
"Ah, are you awake already?"
Half-squinting California obviously had a dissatisfied expression of waking up halfway from a dream, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yamato Shou'an who had moved his things without authorization.
"My things were touched by someone and I can continue to sleep as if nothing happened. I'm not that nervous."
"Why bring this..."
"These two knives are like amulets to me, so I always carry them with me."
"...I see, I did it on my own, sorry."
Putting the knife back in his hand, Yamato Mamoruan did not just go back as California said, but sat side by side on the other side of him, raised his hand to block his eyes and looked at the cloudless sky.
The autumn afternoon sun fell on the body, and the warmth made people feel drowsy.What a pleasant thing it would be to take a nap under the warm sunshine. It seems that it was the right decision to skip the self-study class in the afternoon and come here to find California.
The feeling that there is someone beside him who is dependent on him makes Yamato Shou'an feel at ease, and it seems that he can have a sweet dream by the side of California.
Yamato Shodo was driven closer to California by this impulse.
"Sleep, I'll be with you."
Just after the mid-term exam, Yamato Shou'an, who was entrusted by the library committee, stayed in the school after school, and together with her sorted out the books in the library until 07:30 in the evening.
The sky outside had already darkened, and only the classrooms in use in the huge school were still lit, and the rest of the space was completely dark.
The clouds tonight were so thick that they completely blocked the faint light of the moon, and from the windows in the corridor, we could only vaguely see the dim light of the street lamps outside.
"The school at night is really creepy. Hurry up and tidy up your hands and go back today."
Matsushima lifted the stack of books in his arms slightly upwards, there were too many books to sort out, and it was really impossible to finish them all if she was the only girl.
It was strange that Yamato Shu Anding next to him hadn't said a word since just now, and he cast his suspicious eyes in the direction of Yamato Shu Anding, and saw him looking out of the window as if in a daze.
The corridor they are walking on is right at right angles to the side of the roof. Yamato Mamoru just turned back a little, and he clearly saw the man on the roof standing in front of the barbed wire fence and almost melting into the night. silhouette.
It's already this time, and that guy is still there!The temperature has dropped tonight, California alone is fine.
Yamato Mamoru was staring at the hem of the man's long clothes lifted by the wind on the roof, as if he was afraid that California would be blown away by the strong wind as soon as he looked away.
"Mr. Anding?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiasui. I suddenly remembered something, and I will trouble you to sort out the rest. Ah, I will move these to the library later!"
Before the words were finished, Dahe Shou'an had already hugged several historical materials in his arms and ran away without looking back.
"Wait, An Ding-kun!? That's the direction to the rooftop! You've been told to wait—you won't forget that the rooftop is a place that you can never enter..."
Matsushima, who was holding various data sets that were so high that they almost blocked his sight, couldn't catch up to Yamato's stability even if he wanted to, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"However, the door leading to the rooftop has been locked all the time, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
This school is a place where neither the teachers nor the students will come close.
It is said that there is a forbidden place inhabited by demons.
Sprinting with all the weight was too exhausting, Yamato Mamoru stepped up the stairs panting and pushed open the chained roof gate.As if he knew he would come, California was already waiting for him at the door.
Without further ado, he put aside the data set in his hand, and then Yamato Mamoru rushed forward and grabbed California's shoulder, looking up at the pair of gorgeous red pupils.
"It's the first time we met at night, it's super fresh."
"Stupid! It's so cold at night, what are you doing here!"
Letting Yamato Moran Ding hold on to his coat tightly and gasp for breath, California stretched out his hand to straighten his hair that was blown tousled by the wind.
The warmth of California's fingertips touching his cheeks is accompanied by the coldness of his nails, and the curvature of California's mouth, which is carefully arranging his hair, looks particularly gentle.
Ahhh - not the time to think about such things!
He slapped California's hand away ruthlessly, but just before he could say a word, Yamato Shou'an sneezed loudly.
I probably sweated a little from the trot all the way, and now I'm a little chilled by the cold wind while standing on the roof.
However, California also remained silent as if he hadn't reacted. Feeling a little embarrassed, Yamato Moran lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose.
"Is it cold?"
Inquiring like this, Kali took off the light green long coat she was wearing, and put it on the shoulders of Yamato Morita.
The coat with the temperature of California is very warm, and there is a faint fragrance.Originally, he came here because he was worried about California, but now he was taken care of by California.
I don't know whether it's embarrassment or a little reconciled to feel that the position is reversed, Yamato Mamoru's cheeks are hot.
"...What a disgrace."
"Hahaha, it's really embarrassing. You don't have to worry about my affairs. I lent you my coat. You should go back quickly."
The five fingers grasping the clothes subconsciously increased their strength. Yamato Moran looked seriously at California who was only wearing a white shirt and stood in front of him with his hands on his hips. He stretched out his hand to grab his wrist and was about to take him away.
No matter what, it was unreasonable to let a boy of his own age stay alone on the roof of the school. He would definitely not agree to ask California to leave with him, so he could only take him away forcibly.
"Let's go back together so late. The chairman of the key to the school gate should stay in the library."
Just as he turned around and took a step, Yamato Moran's hand was suddenly thrown away.
The impact came unprepared, and Yamato Morinda didn't have time to react at all. He kept the posture of being thrown away for several seconds before slowly turning around.
The California who was still smiling at him just now seemed to be different from the indifferent California. He obviously didn't say anything, but those emotionless eyes were not the California he knew.
It's just that I want to take him back. Why do you look at yourself with this kind of eyes?Because, isn't it weird... a person stays in the dark school at night.
Perhaps it was because the wavering in Yamato Moran's eyes was too obvious, and California's expression softened a little.
"Didn't you say that you don't need to care about my affairs? You should go back early. Go quickly."
The last sentence was completely urging him to leave.
Unable to find words to respond to California, Yamato Moranda put on the overcoat that California lent him, picked up the materials set aside, and opened the door.
Although he didn't look back, Yamato Mamoru could guess that California might be waving goodbye to him at this time.
Because the voice of California behind him sounded the same as usual.
"Be careful on the road!"
Is the wind so cold tonight?Still not warm in a California coat.
Because he cared too much about that night, Yamato Shou'an couldn't muster up the courage to approach the rooftop for a while.
But he couldn't even have a conversation if he didn't meet, and the coat that California lent him that day has never been returned.
Cleaning up the house alone, Yamato Shou'an slumped on the bed and was about to rest. Suddenly, he remembered that the email sent by his family a few days ago asking if he would go back during the holiday had not been answered, so he struggled to get up and fumbled for the mobile phone beside the bed.
At this moment, Yamato Shou'an's mobile phone received a new message.
Climb up the school wall when the security guards weren't paying attention, and because he was doing something he wasn't used to, the backpack on Yamato's shoulder almost fell into the wall before him.
He hurriedly put his backpack back on his back, took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, and jumped into the school.
The main entrance of the teaching building was locked on weekends, and Yamato Shounan used the key he had borrowed from the library committee member to sneak into the teaching building from the aisle on the first floor.
Standing in front of the gate leading to the rooftop, Yamato Mamoru took a serious look at the rusty chain hanging on the gate for the first time.
The chains on the door hadn't been locked once since he first came, and yet no one came here.
Gently pushing the door open, the wind blowing in front of you is mixed with the sound of leaves flapping, but there is a sense of strangeness after not coming for a while.
I didn't see California at a glance, so I wondered if he was also hiding on the top of the stairwell this time. A familiar voice came from afar.
"—couldn't tell him yet. If only he'd noticed for himself. Well, I'm all right."
"...California?"
Yamato Mamoru put back his foot on the ladder, leaned half his body from the corner of the wall, and saw California in a crimson striped hoodie sitting behind the wall holding the knife in the red scabbard, except for him and a knife And no one else.
It was indeed the voice of California just now...?
Startled by the sudden appearance of Yamato Shou'an, California hurriedly put the knife in his arms into the knife pocket, stood up, patted his clothes and stretched calmly.
"Long time no see, why are you here suddenly?"
"Who are you talking to?"
"Haha, what are you talking about. Is there anyone else here besides you and me?"
This diversion of the subject is too obvious, it is definitely not a simple soliloquy.
California, who walked around the corner to Yamato Shouting, noticed the stuffed backpack at his feet, and tilted his head slightly.
Following California's line of sight, I lowered my head and realized that the zipper of the backpack had slipped open at some point, and some of the coat on it had been squeezed out, revealing a light onion-colored corner.
Unzipping the zipper and taking out the coat and handing it to California, Yamato Mamoru was thinking about how to explain why he hadn't come for so long.
"Have you washed it specially, thank you!"
California, who took the coat, didn't notice Yamato's inner troubles at this time, but squatted down and got closer to see what was in his bag.
Snacks, drinks, sleeping blankets, thick coats.
"...What are you here for?"
Yamato Shou'an, who just came back to his senses, turned his head and met the face of California that was quite close, and all the extra thoughts in his mind suddenly flew to nowhere.
Reflexively took two steps back, Yamato Mamoru faltered for a long time and finally took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pressed a few times on the screen and held the information interface in front of California.
"I heard that there will be a shooting star tonight. Anyway, it's boring to be alone at home. I want to come and watch it with you."
"Meteor...Maybe this is the first time I've seen it."
"Eh, really?"
Seeing California's smiling face, Yamato Mamoru felt like an idiot for having been troubled for so long.
It would be great if I could understand more about him. I don't know if wishing on the shooting star like this will come true.
At nine o'clock in the evening, it was getting closer and closer to the time when the meteor was predicted to appear. Yamato Mamoru was wrapped in a sleeping blanket and huddled on the bench with California, waiting for the meteor to appear while chatting about some insignificant things.
He opened a bag of potato chips and handed it to California, but he never reached out to take it. He tried to pick up a piece of potato chips and handed it to California's mouth, but he still refused to open his mouth.
He changed his hand and stuffed the potato chips into his mouth. After a gust of wind, he felt a little cold, and Yamato Shouta pulled the corner of the sleeping blanket to wrap himself more tightly.
California next to him didn't know whether it was cold or interesting, so he put on the hood of his hoodie, which almost covered half of his face, but failed to cover the corners of California's upturned mouth.
"This is the first time I see you wearing this kind of clothes."
What Yamato Anding said casually got an unexpected reaction from California, and California put his index finger on the side of the hat to show off his face, and leaned in front of Yamato Anding.
"How is it? Is it cute? Sure enough, it looks cute when you wear it once in a while! I really like this kind of thing."
It is not cute to be approached by a boy who is about the same age as him and ask him if it is cute, Yamato Mamoru Anding has no idea what kind of response to make is the correct one.
He sneaked a second look at California, who was squatting on a chair and started fiddling with his cuffs, as if he wanted to make cute sleeves, and he nodded very honestly.
Then California looked happier.
At this time, a light flashed in the dark night sky.
Yamato Shou'an quickly clasped his fingers in his heart and silently made a wish.Although I don't know if it will happen.
Turning his head to ask California what wish he had just made, he saw that California, who had taken off his hoodie again, leaned in his direction, with one hand propped on the chair and the other on his shoulder.
Eh?Why...could it be picking, kissing...! ?
When Yamato Moranting didn't react at all, California stretched out the tip of his tongue and swept the corner of his mouth.
"—!"
"Why are you making such an exaggerated expression, crumbs of potato chips are all on your face."
The second light streaked across the sky and disappeared.
California, who missed the meteor, showed a regretful expression, swaying back and forth with his hands on his knees, waiting for the third meteor to appear.
Yamato Shou'an, whose heart was pounding because of California's sudden move, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. The feeling of the tip of his tongue touching the corner of his mouth couldn't go away. Rather, the more he cared about that feeling, the more vivid it became.
His gaze subconsciously fixed on California's slightly pursed lips, and the mole at the corner of his mouth also looked very distinct, and the tightly pursed lips suddenly opened a beautiful arc, slightly revealing the canine teeth hidden in them.
Yamato Moran Ding didn't know why he asked the phrase "California, have you ever kissed someone" by accident.
"Huh? No."
"yes…"
Raising both hands in the gesture of taking a picture, Kaka only turned his face to the direction of Yamato Shou'an, looking at him with a puzzled expression on his face.
What the hell happened to me, I actually had strange delusions about California.
Shaking his head slightly, he moved a little to California's side and leaned on his shoulder, and Yamato Shou'an yawned.
The feeling of staying next to California was so comfortable, sleepiness came up little by little, and when I was about to fall asleep, I was woken up by California poking my cheek a few times.
"Aren't you going back tonight?"
"Hmm... Tomorrow is Sunday anyway, so you can spend the night here."
"I'll catch a cold."
The only response to California was Yamato Mori's steady and calm breathing.
After confirming that Yamato Mamoru was really asleep, California reached out to wrap his arms around his shoulders and put him in his arms, helping him tuck the corner of the sleeping blanket.
This night Yamato Shou Anding remembered that he seemed to have had a dream.
In the dream, he was gently hugged by California from behind, and whispered "like" in his ear.
And the young self who cried until he couldn't breathe seemed to be trying to keep someone.
What a puzzling dream.
When I woke up, I couldn't see California who should be beside me. I looked down and saw that there was a coat on the sleeping blanket covering my body. No wonder I didn't feel cold at all.
Looking at his empty palm, it seems that there is still a trace of interlocking fingers with someone.
Folding the coat and sleeping blanket and putting them aside, Yamato Mamoru found a sandwich, a carton of milk, and toiletries from his backpack.I made preparations after spending the night here before heading out yesterday.
"wake up?"
California, who suddenly appeared when Yamato Mamoru was not paying attention, sat casually beside him and blew on his carefully groomed nails.And the clothes on him are no longer the hoodie from yesterday.
When did you change your clothes? Could it be that your home in California is actually very close to the school?I don't know if he had breakfast, but he only brought breakfast for one person.
Yamato Mamoru looked at the lunch box with sandwiches in his hand and became worried.
"Did you make your own sandwich? Hmm...it looks delicious. By the way, if you want to wash your face, you can use the sink on the second floor."
"This is my school, of course I know."
Putting the lunch box into California's hand, Yamato Moranda picked up his toiletries and trotted away from the rooftop.
When he came back, the sandwich in the lunch box showed no sign of being touched, but California found the textbook he had pressed at the bottom of the backpack and looked at it.
When he saw California for the first time, he was holding a book and reading it carefully, and said without thinking, "Do you like studying in California?" ’ But he replied, ‘How is that possible, I am only interested in what is necessary, and school is boring too’.
What is necessary to him?Although I want to know a bit, California will definitely not tell myself easily.
California, who returned the textbook to Yamato Anding, sat quietly and waited for him to finish his breakfast, and then followed Yamato Anding's every move with slightly expectant eyes.
"What are you going to play today?"
"Homework. I haven't finished my homework for this week."
Spread the homework book on his lap, took out the mechanical pencil and pressed out the refill. Before Yamato Shouan could see the title of the first question clearly, California next to him hugged him awkwardly, and rubbed his head against his shoulder .
"Hey—you came to see me, but you have to do your homework by yourself——"
Shrugging his shoulders because of California's sudden move, Yamato Shuan subconsciously grabbed his homework.

It was just a coincidence that Yamato Mamoru Anding stepped into the rooftop that no one has ever visited.
Holding the bento I brought from home in my arms, I walked through noisy corridors, thinking about changing places for lunch at noon today, and unknowingly stopped and raised my head, only to realize that I had reached the stairs leading to the rooftop.
Looking around, there was no one there, and it was surprisingly quiet.
It was supposed to be a door that had been locked all year round, but upon closer inspection the old lock on the door was empty.
Today's weather is not that bad, even if a person eats on the rooftop, it doesn't matter.
Yamato Mamoru Anding just pushed open the dusty door.
The moment the door was pushed open, the oncoming wind stirred up a cloud of dust, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Maybe it's better to find another place, he has no interest in eating in the dust.
Putting down the arm covering his face, a wonderful figure entered Yamato Moriya's field of vision.
A boy who was not wearing a school uniform but a white shirt and black vest stood quietly in front of the barbed wire reading a heavy book.
The boy didn't feel any surprise when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind him, he leisurely closed the book and turned around to look at Yamato Shou Anding who was standing at the door.
"Sorry, I thought there was no one here..."
"In fact, there is no one."
The boy pointed to the bench beside him, indicating that Yamato Moran Ding could sit here.
Red, like his eyes, the teenager's ten fingers are also red.A bright red that shines brightly in the sun.
Looking at the boy's beautiful pupils, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in my heart, but I couldn't know the real meaning of this feeling.
After hesitating for a while, Yamato Mamoru Anding closed the door with his backhand, and walked to the boy with his bento box in his arms.
Out of curiosity, he quietly glanced at the book in the young man's hand. It seemed to be a research book on psychology such as human memory. Why would he read such an incomprehensible book here alone?
Seeing that Yamato Anding sat on a chair and opened a lunch box to prepare for lunch, the boy also sat down, crossed his left leg on his right, and propped his chin to watch Yamato and Anding pick up the food and put it in his mouth. .
Being stared at by the people next to him made the food hard to swallow. Yamato Shou'an swallowed the mouthful of food forcefully, put down his chopsticks and met the boy's unabashed gaze.
"……you're not eating?"
The boy just smiled and shook his head.
"Being stared at by you like this, I feel uncomfortable and can't eat well...how about I share some with you and we eat together?"
"I appreciate the kindness." The boy put down his hand on his chin and put it on the bench. "Because no one comes here at all, so I wonder what kind of rough guy would eat here as if nothing happened."
Yamato Mamoru Anding also found it strange at first, everyone seemed to avoid approaching here, coupled with the astonishing dust when the door was opened just now, no matter how you look at it, no one has been here for several years.
However, now here besides myself, there is an exception.
"Aren't you here too? Not wearing a school uniform... Could it be a student from another school?"
Saying that, Yamato and Mamoru tried his best to recall, but he couldn't find the school uniform that was exactly the same as that of the boy from his memory.
Moreover, students from other schools may not be able to easily enter the rooftop of their own school.
So Yamato Shou Anding turned the possibility to the direction of the same school students.
"Hmm... Or did you skip class and come here, so you didn't wear a uniform?"
However, if you think about it seriously, whether you skip class or not has nothing to do with him not wearing a uniform.Although the school rules are not so strict, it is impossible for people without uniforms to pass through the school gate.
Yamato Mamoru's serious thinking made the young man laugh, and the young man waved his hands calmly and denied all his conjectures.
Unable to make the guess, Yamato Shou Anding tried to make a final struggle.
"I see, you are a student who dropped out of school! That's why..."
Now that you have dropped out of school, there is no need to come to school.
Before the words were spoken, Yamato Shou'an himself sensed that something was wrong, and quickly stretched out his hands to cover the boy's mouth to prevent him from uttering negative words.
Unless the boy himself wanted to tell him, it seemed impossible for Yamato Morita to guess the correct answer.
For Yamato Anding's sudden move, the boy didn't dodge or dodge, nor did he show any disgust, he just pointed to the half-eaten lunch that Yamato Anding left next to him.
"Didn't you eat lunch? If you continue to dawdle, the lunch break will be over."
The breath between the words brushed Yamato Moran's fingers, and the hot and humid feeling was fleeting.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Yamato Mamoruan withdrew his hand, picked up the bento and ate it without saying a word.
As soon as the lunch box was packed, the bell for the end of the lunch break rang throughout the school.Immediately stood up and strode towards the door, and just put his hand on the dusty doorknob, Yamato Mamoru turned around and looked at the boy sitting on the bench watching him off.
"Then I'll go back to the classroom first....Can I come next time?"
"It doesn't matter, as you like."
Yamato Moran Ding waved goodbye to the boy, and then closed the door.
After Yamato Anding left, the boy slowly stretched out his hand to touch the place where Yamato and Anding had been sitting just now, and the remaining heat spread to the palm of his hand.
Slightly narrowing his slender eyes, the boy smiled softly.
"...Really, idiot."
The day after meeting that enigmatic boy, it began to rain, and the rain lasted for several days.Yamato Shou Anding, who was passing by the stairs with a bento, still didn't set foot on the stairs in the end.
Finally, when the sky cleared, I was invited by a friend to have lunch together.
Then came the weekend.
Yamato Mamoru Anding also tried to find someone to ask if he knew a boy wearing a black vest, but everyone said how could there be such a person in the school.
In the end, it was still impossible to figure out the true identity of the boy and the reason why he appeared on the rooftop.
Ghosts... it shouldn't be possible, right?
Stepping into that deserted rooftop again was after school on Wednesday.
As soon as the school bell rang, Yamato Shou'an grabbed his schoolbag and trotted all the way to the stairs leading to the rooftop under the warning of the passing teacher "no running in the corridor".
He had only seen that boy once, so he was not sure that he would be there.Yamato Moran Ding stood still in front of the door, taking a few breaths before he managed to stabilize his breathing.
Just bet once.
If possible, Yamato Shou Anding is willing to spend his life's gambling luck here.
After making up his mind, he forcefully pushed open the door of the roof, and the direct sunlight coming in without any hindrance was so dazzling that Dahe Shou'an's eyes were completely white, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a while.
After closing the door behind him, Yamato Mamoru Anding raised his hand to block the sunlight in front of him, and searched for the boy's figure on the empty rooftop, but he couldn't find it after searching around.
Maybe he's not here today, or maybe he won't show up again.
Just when Yamato Shou Anding was thinking about it and was about to give up, a voice he had heard came from above.
"Yo, are you looking for me?"
Looking up in the direction of the sound, I saw the young man leaning out from the top of the stairwell, and waving his hand as if to say hello to Yamato Moran.
The sudden appearance of the young man really startled Yamato Moran. Although he did come to look for him, he didn't expect him to be there.
It was as if he had been here from the beginning, and existed here as a matter of course.
"It's really here... I thought you had already gone back, or something."
"Ok?"
Humming a questioning syllable with his nose, the boy quickly jumped off the roof and stood still in front of Yamato Shou'an.
What he is wearing today is not the black vest he wore last time, but a black and red knitted coat.
Is it because the weather is a bit cold?
Yamato Mamoru noticed that the boy's hair tail and the bundle of hair hanging down to his chest were a bit messy, as if he had just tidied it in a hurry.
"Have you been taking a nap until just now?"
The young man who seemed to be hit by the rumor unconsciously looked away, laughed dryly twice, and wanted to change the subject.
"...This kind of thing, whatever. So what do you want from me?"
"Nothing special."
I just came to the rooftop with a gamble mentality to see if the boy would still be here. Once I was in front of me, I didn't know what to say.
It would be considered a strange guy who came here even though he was fine.
Although the boy in front of him is [-]% weirder than himself.It can even be said to be a bit suspicious.
"Is not you going home?"
"Hmm - guess what?"
The topic was obviously avoided by the teenager.The evasion was too obvious, Yamato Shou'an thought about it and didn't continue to ask.
"Then, talk to me for a while."
"Okay."
The boy smiled and pulled Yamato's Anding's wrist, walked to the bench closest to them, patted off the thin layer of dust on the chair, and sat down.
Yamato Morita looked at the chairs on both sides, only this bench had signs of being used.
Keeping his doubts in his heart, Yamato Mamoru Anda began to talk about the small daily things that can be used as a topic of conversation recently under the gaze of the boy with a little expectation.
Why would I want to meet this enigmatic boy?Yamato Shou Anding thought about it a little bit, but he couldn't come up with a clear answer.
Maybe it's just looking at him alone, a little lonely.
Alone in this kind of place where no one visits.
Maybe it's because I'm looking for extraordinary stimulation deep in my heart.
Unknowingly, the setting sun had already dyed the sky orange red, and Yamato Shou Anding, who was so happy chatting with the boy that he forgot the time, was interrupted abruptly by the boy in the middle of his words.
"It's already this time, isn't it too bad that you don't go back soon? The school gate will be locked."
"Ah, I completely forgot... Thank you for chatting with me for so long, I forgot to ask your name last time, can you tell me?"
"California."
The boy just stretched his waist and spit out a few syllables lightly, it seemed that he didn't intend to tell Yamato Shou Anding his name other than his surname.
Only the surname is more convenient to address. To be honest, Yamato Shou Anding secretly thought about how to address him for a long time.
Yamato Mamoru put his schoolbag on his shoulders, said goodbye to California who watched him not intend to leave, and opened the door.
"I'm leaving first, and you should be careful on the way back!"
"On the way back, huh... well, I see."
The moment the gate was closed, the sound of the chains wrapped around the gate colliding with each other echoed in the silent rooftop.
Yamato Shou'an now feels as if he has a secret friend.
Although he didn't know anything about California other than what he was willing to tell himself, there was one thing that Yamato Mamoru was sure of, and that was that he could meet him as long as he went to the school's rooftop.
So since then, Yamato Shou'an has become a frequent visitor to the school rooftop.Sometimes even sneaked into the school on weekends, risking being caught by the security guards, and wanted to see California.
After getting along for a long time, Yamato Shou'an's doubts about California gradually accumulated bit by bit.
I have never seen California outside of the rooftop, and even if I asked my classmates, I didn't get any sighting information.
So far, Yamato Shou Anding still has no idea how he got into the school.
And when eating lunch with him, it would be more correct to eat while being watched by him rather than eating with him.
Speaking of which, Yamato and Shou Anding haven't seen California eating with his own eyes.
Imagine it a little bit... I always feel a little lustful.Must be the fault of California's overly showy face.
It is so mysterious that it seems that California is a monster that can only be seen by oneself.
Youkai... huh?Speaking of which, there seems to be some legend circulating in the school, the content... what is it?Can't remember.
"I said California, do you want to hang out together this weekend?"
"No."
Yamato Mamoru Anding hesitated for a long time before saying the invitation, but was rejected by California without thinking.
Although he was mentally prepared to be rejected, Yamato Shou'an couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he was rejected so decisively.
Seeing Yamato's Anding's obvious disappointed expression, California still didn't have any intention of changing his answer.
As if to divert attention, California was more involved in the game in hand than before, but Yamato Morinda next to him persistently gave him a look of "why not go".
Yamato Mamoru's steady gaze was too revealing, even California, who was focused on the game, accidentally lost to the BOSS in the game with a distraction, and had to choose to surrender and put down the game console in his hand.
"There's no need to go outside. If you want to play, can't you play here?"
California let out a breath and returned the game console to Yamato Shou'an, stood up and moved his body that had been in one posture for a long time, went straight to the corner and sat on the floor casually, yawning.
"I'm a little sleepy, sorry, can you go back today first?"
A little surprised, this is the first time California has shown such a defenseless state in front of itself.
At this time, Yamato Mamoru noticed that there were two knives in the knife bag next to the seat where California was sitting. Because the pockets were not tied, a little bit of the black handle was exposed.
When I came to see him before, I didn't seem to see these two knives. Are they placed somewhere else?After all, why would he carry such a thing?
Another new question came to mind.
California, who was still yawning a moment ago, is now in a deep sleep with his head leaning against the barbed wire behind him.The sleeping face of California breathing quietly makes people feel as if the heart has missed a beat.
"Sleep so fast..."
He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of California, but did not get any response, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yamato Mamoru Anding quietly took one of the knives out of the knife pocket carefully, because he was a little nervous when touching this kind of thing for the first time.
He brushed the black scabbard with his fingertips, grasped the handle and slowly pulled the blade out of the scabbard a little. Yamato Shou'an's face was clearly reflected on the shiny mirror-like body.
This knife seems to be very sharp, it must be difficult to use it.
Suddenly, the tired voice made Yamato Shou'an come back to his senses.
"It's just a model knife, not real. Can you put it back carefully?"
"Ah, are you awake already?"
Half-squinting California obviously had a dissatisfied expression of waking up halfway from a dream, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yamato Shou'an who had moved his things without authorization.
"My things were touched by someone and I can continue to sleep as if nothing happened. I'm not that nervous."
"Why bring this..."
"These two knives are like amulets to me, so I always carry them with me."
"...I see, I did it on my own, sorry."
Putting the knife back in his hand, Yamato Mamoruan did not just go back as California said, but sat side by side on the other side of him, raised his hand to block his eyes and looked at the cloudless sky.
The autumn afternoon sun fell on the body, and the warmth made people feel drowsy.What a pleasant thing it would be to take a nap under the warm sunshine. It seems that it was the right decision to skip the self-study class in the afternoon and come here to find California.
The feeling that there is someone beside him who is dependent on him makes Yamato Shou'an feel at ease, and it seems that he can have a sweet dream by the side of California.
Yamato Shodo was driven closer to California by this impulse.
"Sleep, I'll be with you."
Just after the mid-term exam, Yamato Shou'an, who was entrusted by the library committee, stayed in the school after school, and together with her sorted out the books in the library until 07:30 in the evening.
The sky outside had already darkened, and only the classrooms in use in the huge school were still lit, and the rest of the space was completely dark.
The clouds tonight were so thick that they completely blocked the faint light of the moon, and from the windows in the corridor, we could only vaguely see the dim light of the street lamps outside.
"The school at night is really creepy. Hurry up and tidy up your hands and go back today."
Matsushima lifted the stack of books in his arms slightly upwards, there were too many books to sort out, and it was really impossible to finish them all if she was the only girl.
It was strange that Yamato Shu Anding next to him hadn't said a word since just now, and he cast his suspicious eyes in the direction of Yamato Shu Anding, and saw him looking out of the window as if in a daze.
The corridor they are walking on is right at right angles to the side of the roof. Yamato Mamoru just turned back a little, and he clearly saw the man on the roof standing in front of the barbed wire fence and almost melting into the night. silhouette.
It's already this time, and that guy is still there!The temperature has dropped tonight, California alone is fine.
Yamato Mamoru was staring at the hem of the man's long clothes lifted by the wind on the roof, as if he was afraid that California would be blown away by the strong wind as soon as he looked away.
"Mr. Anding?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiasui. I suddenly remembered something, and I will trouble you to sort out the rest. Ah, I will move these to the library later!"
Before the words were finished, Dahe Shou'an had already hugged several historical materials in his arms and ran away without looking back.
"Wait, An Ding-kun!? That's the direction to the rooftop! You've been told to wait—you won't forget that the rooftop is a place that you can never enter..."
Matsushima, who was holding various data sets that were so high that they almost blocked his sight, couldn't catch up to Yamato's stability even if he wanted to, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"However, the door leading to the rooftop has been locked all the time, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
This school is a place where neither the teachers nor the students will come close.
It is said that there is a forbidden place inhabited by demons.
Sprinting with all the weight was too exhausting, Yamato Mamoru stepped up the stairs panting and pushed open the chained roof gate.As if he knew he would come, California was already waiting for him at the door.
Without further ado, he put aside the data set in his hand, and then Yamato Mamoru rushed forward and grabbed California's shoulder, looking up at the pair of gorgeous red pupils.
"It's the first time we met at night, it's super fresh."
"Stupid! It's so cold at night, what are you doing here!"
Letting Yamato Moran Ding hold on to his coat tightly and gasp for breath, California stretched out his hand to straighten his hair that was blown tousled by the wind.
The warmth of California's fingertips touching his cheeks is accompanied by the coldness of his nails, and the curvature of California's mouth, which is carefully arranging his hair, looks particularly gentle.
Ahhh - not the time to think about such things!
He slapped California's hand away ruthlessly, but just before he could say a word, Yamato Shou'an sneezed loudly.
I probably sweated a little from the trot all the way, and now I'm a little chilled by the cold wind while standing on the roof.
However, California also remained silent as if he hadn't reacted. Feeling a little embarrassed, Yamato Moran lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose.
"Is it cold?"
Inquiring like this, Kali took off the light green long coat she was wearing, and put it on the shoulders of Yamato Morita.
The coat with the temperature of California is very warm, and there is a faint fragrance.Originally, he came here because he was worried about California, but now he was taken care of by California.
I don't know whether it's embarrassment or a little reconciled to feel that the position is reversed, Yamato Mamoru's cheeks are hot.
"...What a disgrace."
"Hahaha, it's really embarrassing. You don't have to worry about my affairs. I lent you my coat. You should go back quickly."
The five fingers grasping the clothes subconsciously increased their strength. Yamato Moran looked seriously at California who was only wearing a white shirt and stood in front of him with his hands on his hips. He stretched out his hand to grab his wrist and was about to take him away.
No matter what, it was unreasonable to let a boy of his own age stay alone on the roof of the school. He would definitely not agree to ask California to leave with him, so he could only take him away forcibly.
"Let's go back together so late. The chairman of the key to the school gate should stay in the library."
Just as he turned around and took a step, Yamato Moran's hand was suddenly thrown away.
The impact came unprepared, and Yamato Morinda didn't have time to react at all. He kept the posture of being thrown away for several seconds before slowly turning around.
The California who was still smiling at him just now seemed to be different from the indifferent California. He obviously didn't say anything, but those emotionless eyes were not the California he knew.
It's just that I want to take him back. Why do you look at yourself with this kind of eyes?Because, isn't it weird... a person stays in the dark school at night.
Perhaps it was because the wavering in Yamato Moran's eyes was too obvious, and California's expression softened a little.
"Didn't you say that you don't need to care about my affairs? You should go back early. Go quickly."
The last sentence was completely urging him to leave.
Unable to find words to respond to California, Yamato Moranda put on the overcoat that California lent him, picked up the materials set aside, and opened the door.
Although he didn't look back, Yamato Mamoru could guess that California might be waving goodbye to him at this time.
Because the voice of California behind him sounded the same as usual.
"Be careful on the road!"
Is the wind so cold tonight?Still not warm in a California coat.
Because he cared too much about that night, Yamato Shou'an couldn't muster up the courage to approach the rooftop for a while.
But he couldn't even have a conversation if he didn't meet, and the coat that California lent him that day has never been returned.
Cleaning up the house alone, Yamato Shou'an slumped on the bed and was about to rest. Suddenly, he remembered that the email sent by his family a few days ago asking if he would go back during the holiday had not been answered, so he struggled to get up and fumbled for the mobile phone beside the bed.
At this moment, Yamato Shou'an's mobile phone received a new message.
Climb up the school wall when the security guards weren't paying attention, and because he was doing something he wasn't used to, the backpack on Yamato's shoulder almost fell into the wall before him.
He hurriedly put his backpack back on his back, took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, and jumped into the school.
The main entrance of the teaching building was locked on weekends, and Yamato Shounan used the key he had borrowed from the library committee member to sneak into the teaching building from the aisle on the first floor.
Standing in front of the gate leading to the rooftop, Yamato Mamoru took a serious look at the rusty chain hanging on the gate for the first time.
The chains on the door hadn't been locked once since he first came, and yet no one came here.
Gently pushing the door open, the wind blowing in front of you is mixed with the sound of leaves flapping, but there is a sense of strangeness after not coming for a while.
I didn't see California at a glance, so I wondered if he was also hiding on the top of the stairwell this time. A familiar voice came from afar.
"—couldn't tell him yet. If only he'd noticed for himself. Well, I'm all right."
"...California?"
Yamato Mamoru put back his foot on the ladder, leaned half his body from the corner of the wall, and saw California in a crimson striped hoodie sitting behind the wall holding the knife in the red scabbard, except for him and a knife And no one else.
It was indeed the voice of California just now...?
Startled by the sudden appearance of Yamato Shou'an, California hurriedly put the knife in his arms into the knife pocket, stood up, patted his clothes and stretched calmly.
"Long time no see, why are you here suddenly?"
"Who are you talking to?"
"Haha, what are you talking about. Is there anyone else here besides you and me?"
This diversion of the subject is too obvious, it is definitely not a simple soliloquy.
California, who walked around the corner to Yamato Shouting, noticed the stuffed backpack at his feet, and tilted his head slightly.
Following California's line of sight, I lowered my head and realized that the zipper of the backpack had slipped open at some point, and some of the coat on it had been squeezed out, revealing a light onion-colored corner.
Unzipping the zipper and taking out the coat and handing it to California, Yamato Mamoru was thinking about how to explain why he hadn't come for so long.
"Have you washed it specially, thank you!"
California, who took the coat, didn't notice Yamato's inner troubles at this time, but squatted down and got closer to see what was in his bag.
Snacks, drinks, sleeping blankets, thick coats.
"...What are you here for?"
Yamato Shou'an, who just came back to his senses, turned his head and met the face of California that was quite close, and all the extra thoughts in his mind suddenly flew to nowhere.
Reflexively took two steps back, Yamato Mamoru faltered for a long time and finally took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pressed a few times on the screen and held the information interface in front of California.
"I heard that there will be a shooting star tonight. Anyway, it's boring to be alone at home. I want to come and watch it with you."
"Meteor...Maybe this is the first time I've seen it."
"Eh, really?"
Seeing California's smiling face, Yamato Mamoru felt like an idiot for having been troubled for so long.
It would be great if I could understand more about him. I don't know if wishing on the shooting star like this will come true.
At nine o'clock in the evening, it was getting closer and closer to the time when the meteor was predicted to appear. Yamato Mamoru was wrapped in a sleeping blanket and huddled on the bench with California, waiting for the meteor to appear while chatting about some insignificant things.
He opened a bag of potato chips and handed it to California, but he never reached out to take it. He tried to pick up a piece of potato chips and handed it to California's mouth, but he still refused to open his mouth.
He changed his hand and stuffed the potato chips into his mouth. After a gust of wind, he felt a little cold, and Yamato Shouta pulled the corner of the sleeping blanket to wrap himself more tightly.
California next to him didn't know whether it was cold or interesting, so he put on the hood of his hoodie, which almost covered half of his face, but failed to cover the corners of California's upturned mouth.
"This is the first time I see you wearing this kind of clothes."
What Yamato Anding said casually got an unexpected reaction from California, and California put his index finger on the side of the hat to show off his face, and leaned in front of Yamato Anding.
"How is it? Is it cute? Sure enough, it looks cute when you wear it once in a while! I really like this kind of thing."
It is not cute to be approached by a boy who is about the same age as him and ask him if it is cute, Yamato Mamoru Anding has no idea what kind of response to make is the correct one.
He sneaked a second look at California, who was squatting on a chair and started fiddling with his cuffs, as if he wanted to make cute sleeves, and he nodded very honestly.
Then California looked happier.
At this time, a light flashed in the dark night sky.
Yamato Shou'an quickly clasped his fingers in his heart and silently made a wish.Although I don't know if it will happen.
Turning his head to ask California what wish he had just made, he saw that California, who had taken off his hoodie again, leaned in his direction, with one hand propped on the chair and the other on his shoulder.
Eh?Why...could it be picking, kissing...! ?
When Yamato Moranting didn't react at all, California stretched out the tip of his tongue and swept the corner of his mouth.
"—!"
"Why are you making such an exaggerated expression, crumbs of potato chips are all on your face."
The second light streaked across the sky and disappeared.
California, who missed the meteor, showed a regretful expression, swaying back and forth with his hands on his knees, waiting for the third meteor to appear.
Yamato Shou'an, whose heart was pounding because of California's sudden move, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. The feeling of the tip of his tongue touching the corner of his mouth couldn't go away. Rather, the more he cared about that feeling, the more vivid it became.
His gaze subconsciously fixed on California's slightly pursed lips, and the mole at the corner of his mouth also looked very distinct, and the tightly pursed lips suddenly opened a beautiful arc, slightly revealing the canine teeth hidden in them.
Yamato Moran Ding didn't know why he asked the phrase "California, have you ever kissed someone" by accident.
"Huh? No."
"yes…"
Raising both hands in the gesture of taking a picture, Kaka only turned his face to the direction of Yamato Shou'an, looking at him with a puzzled expression on his face.
What the hell happened to me, I actually had strange delusions about California.
Shaking his head slightly, he moved a little to California's side and leaned on his shoulder, and Yamato Shou'an yawned.
The feeling of staying next to California was so comfortable, sleepiness came up little by little, and when I was about to fall asleep, I was woken up by California poking my cheek a few times.
"Aren't you going back tonight?"
"Hmm... Tomorrow is Sunday anyway, so you can spend the night here."
"I'll catch a cold."
The only response to California was Yamato Mori's steady and calm breathing.
After confirming that Yamato Mamoru was really asleep, California reached out to wrap his arms around his shoulders and put him in his arms, helping him tuck the corner of the sleeping blanket.
This night Yamato Shou Anding remembered that he seemed to have had a dream.
In the dream, he was gently hugged by California from behind, and whispered "like" in his ear.
And the young self who cried until he couldn't breathe seemed to be trying to keep someone.
What a puzzling dream.
When I woke up, I couldn't see California who should be beside me. I looked down and saw that there was a coat on the sleeping blanket covering my body. No wonder I didn't feel cold at all.
Looking at his empty palm, it seems that there is still a trace of interlocking fingers with someone.
Folding the coat and sleeping blanket and putting them aside, Yamato Mamoru found a sandwich, a carton of milk, and toiletries from his backpack.I made preparations after spending the night here before heading out yesterday.
"wake up?"
California, who suddenly appeared when Yamato Mamoru was not paying attention, sat casually beside him and blew on his carefully groomed nails.And the clothes on him are no longer the hoodie from yesterday.
When did you change your clothes? Could it be that your home in California is actually very close to the school?I don't know if he had breakfast, but he only brought breakfast for one person.
Yamato Mamoru looked at the lunch box with sandwiches in his hand and became worried.
"Did you make your own sandwich? Hmm...it looks delicious. By the way, if you want to wash your face, you can use the sink on the second floor."
"This is my school, of course I know."
Putting the lunch box into California's hand, Yamato Moranda picked up his toiletries and trotted away from the rooftop.
When he came back, the sandwich in the lunch box showed no sign of being touched, but California found the textbook he had pressed at the bottom of the backpack and looked at it.
When he saw California for the first time, he was holding a book and reading it carefully, and said without thinking, "Do you like studying in California?" ’ But he replied, ‘How is that possible, I am only interested in what is necessary, and school is boring too’.
What is necessary to him?Although I want to know a bit, California will definitely not tell myself easily.
California, who returned the textbook to Yamato Anding, sat quietly and waited for him to finish his breakfast, and then followed Yamato Anding's every move with slightly expectant eyes.
"What are you going to play today?"
"Homework. I haven't finished my homework for this week."
Spread the homework book on his lap, took out the mechanical pencil and pressed out the refill. Before Yamato Shouan could see the title of the first question clearly, California next to him hugged him awkwardly, and rubbed his head against his shoulder .
"Hey—you came to see me, but you have to do your homework by yourself——"
Shrugging his shoulders because of California's sudden move, Yamato Shuan subconsciously grabbed his homework.
