always looking at you

Ryota Kise, 16 years old this year, is studying in Class 044, Grade 7 of Haichang Senior High School, student number [-], ace of the basketball club, jersey number [-], and usually works part-time as a graphic model.Also, he's a weirdo.

My name is Eharana, and I am also 16 years old this year. I am in Class [-] of Haichang Senior High School. I have average appearance and average grades. My favorite thing to do is to draw. My personality is taciturn. I am an ordinary person in every sense. Kise Ryota, the proud son of heaven and a man of the hour on campus, was an existence that couldn't be matched at all.

But I feel that I have been a little different from others since I was a child. As early as a child, I decided on my future direction.I must become a painter, and I am willing to give anything for it.Even if my painting ability is only average, I will continue to move in this direction unswervingly, so stubborn that I can't pull back even nine cows.

Since I was a child, I didn't like to communicate with people very much. I only liked to immerse myself in one's world and draw pictures. Therefore, most people think that I have a gloomy personality and are not easy to approach.Apart from Fujikawa Ryosuke and his twin sister Fujikawa Airi, whom I grew up with, I don’t have any friends.But I don't think it's a big deal, it's too troublesome to communicate with people, as long as I live in the world of painting is enough.

As long as I have a pencil and a drawing book, I can be completely satisfied.

On the day I met Ryota Kise, the weather was gloomy, and when it was time to leave school, it started to rain.I, who usually always remember to bring an umbrella, actually forgot to bring an umbrella that day, and the two idiots of the Fujikawa brothers and sisters were both allergic to pollen, so they didn't come to school.I thought, maybe this is what the reasoning club president A Zuo, who likes to play tricks, said that my lucky value is as low as min today.It doesn't matter, anyway, the school is not far from home, so I decided to go home in the rain.

As soon as I ran out of the school gate, it started to rain heavily.Oops, it seems that there is no limit to how unlucky people can be.The bean-sized raindrops fell down and hurt my face. I hugged the drawing board tightly in my arms, feeling a little nervous that the rain would wet it.This is my baby.

When I was holding the drawing board with difficulty and walking forward cautiously, the rain on my head suddenly stopped.No, it was clearly still raining around, and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground was very clear.I looked up and saw that it was an umbrella with blue and white grids.And the person holding the umbrella is Kise Ryota.

I didn't know him at the time, and although he was famous in school and popular with girls, it didn't mean anything to me.The only thing that makes me more concerned is that this person has a body that is very suitable for being a mannequin, with clear texture and beautiful lines, so it must be very exciting to draw.

"Girls can't be in the rain like this." The big blond boy smiled at me, giving me the illusion that the dark clouds were dispelled for a moment.His fingers holding the handle of the umbrella are long and slender, with beautiful and strong joints, and there are faint traces of calluses on the top of the palm.

I stared at him for a long time without making a sound, but he scratched his head first and smiled at me.

"I know about you, Ehara Nana-chan from the class next door. Our house is not far away. If it's convenient, can I take you for a ride?"

"This is my line. Please take me for a ride. But... who are you?" Since I was holding the drawing board in my hand, I didn't refuse his offer.After all, I don't want important paintings to get wet.

"Wow! I'm very frustrated when you say that, Ehara-chan." He exclaimed exaggeratedly, and scratched his face with a wry smile: "I'm Kise Ryota from the eighth class next door. The girls at the school don't know who I am T^T" The boy's handsome face suddenly turned into a bit dazed.

This guy...is weird.How can a person's face be like dough, which can go from sharp and angular to suddenly like a white jade dumpling?

"Oh." I responded casually and ignored him.I'm not interested in anything but painting.

Huang Lai let out a long sigh with a downcast face, and almost showed me a sad face.But soon, he regained his vitality and became interested in the drawing board in my hand.His warm yellow eyes rolled around my drawing board, and he said curiously: "Ehara-chan, you hold it very tightly, what is that?"

The warm yellow eyes blinked and blinked, giving me the illusion of being like a dog begging for its fur.There is no need to hide it, I carefully moved my hand away, showing the corner of the drawing board to Huang Lai: "Drawing board."

"Wow, is Ehara-chan from the art department?"

"Ah."

Kise revealed an expression of admiration, and said with a smile, "That's really amazing, Ehara-chan."

This is really a beautiful smile, not because of Kise-kun's appearance, but because of his sincere admiration.Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and I pointed to the cafe beside me: "Do you want to see it? Sit there."

Kise was obviously surprised by my words, and looked at me with wide eyes.I don't start, staggered his astonished gaze, and felt incredible about my sudden suggestion. I am not a person who can communicate with people so smoothly. I hugged the drawing board in my arms again: "Sorry, I just said it casually... ..."

"Okay." Kise interrupted me and nodded.He tilted his head to look at me, gently curled the corners of his lips, and smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "I'm very happy."

it's wired.My heart suddenly became hot.

"However, it's easy to catch cold in wet clothes, Ehara-chan can put on my coat first."

"No..." I refused, but the clothes were already on my shoulders.I looked at Kise's bright smile, and in the end I didn't say anything, just grabbed my clothes and quietly wrapped my body tightly.

A faint smell of soap lingers on the tip of the nose.Oops.His face seemed to heat up too.

This is the first time I feel this way.It's amazing.I think, although I don't want to socialize with people, I still want to show my paintings to others.Because, want to be recognized.And this person is Kise, which made me feel a little soft and warm.

However, Kise, who agreed to my inexplicable request and put on my coat with concern, is also a weirdo.It's the first time I've met such a guy.

Holding the hot coffee in my hand, seeing Kise lowering his head to look at the painting, I couldn't help but start to draw Kise's face in my heart.The graceful face line needs to be outlined with a thin pencil, the eyebrows are curved, the eyelashes cast shadows on the eyelids, the bridge of the nose is so high, and the lips are slightly pursed.Also, the most dazzling thing is that serious expression.

I didn't look away until Kise returned the drawing board to me after reading it.This is indeed a very suitable person to draw.

"Ehara-chan seldom draws people. Basically, they are all scenery. Beautiful is beautiful, but I always feel that something is missing."

He was really looking at it seriously.Even the problems that I have been worrying about all the time are straight to the point.What kind of existence is this?

After walking me to the door of the apartment, Kise waved me with a bright smile: "If there is a chance, I still want to see the portrait of Ehara-chan. Be careful when you go home, Kana~"

Portraits... what?

In fact, I also paint portraits, but they are all comics. At present, I am doing illustrations for novel magazines and the like.The content of a picture I received recently was to ask a man with blonde hair and golden eyes to have sex with another man.

The moment he held the pencil, the face of the blond boy looking down at the painting suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.I was taken aback by the thoughts that surged up in my heart... I really want to try it with Kise Ryota as the prototype.

Knowing that I drew him as the male protagonist of the BL manga, or the one who suffers, most people will be angry... I guess.However, it should be fine if you don't let him know.

Start with the outline of the face, eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, stroke by stroke, so smooth, as if the face of that person appeared in front of my eyes.

I think it was probably from this day that I started to fall in love with painting Kise Ryota.
