52. My Room is No Good 2

[From Hoshikuzu Houki]

I heard that Idiot Hoshino got sick

and can’t move. I’d love to visit him, but I’m a little busy. If you’re free,

can you take care of him for me? Oh, here’s the address.”

About an hour after I left Kazuto and

returned to real life, I received this email from Hoshikuzu.

I was so anxious about Hoshino-san, so

this was just the thing for me.

“I see. I can’t help it. I’m free, so

I’ll go. I’m very bored.”

“This is Hoshino-san’s house.”

After some walking, I arrived at the

place I need to go to is.

There was a row of doors in front of

me.

Hoshino-san was renting a room in this

apartment.

I took the liberty of ringing the

intercom next to the door.

I waited for a while, wondering what I

would do if Hoshino-san didn’t come out to the door.

A minute passed, but there was no

response.

“……It’s troubling.”

It is hard to believe that the room is

unoccupied since Hoshikuzu told me that Hoshino-san was “Sick and unable to

move,” but this was still no sign of him opening the door.

I put my hand on my chin and stared at

the door.

I’m wondering if he was completely

immobile or if it was asleep.

I turned the doorknob to see.

What?

To my surprise, the door opened.

It looked like an auto-locking door.

But for some reason, the door is unlocked.

In the past, it was just people

forgetting to lock the door. But this time, an unlocked door is an abnormal

situation.

Was it a mechanical failure?

I wondered and looked into the back of

the open door.

I could see the kitchen and hallway

combined into a single room layout, and in the corner was the bag that

Hoshino-san always brings to school.

When I saw the bag, I knew for sure

that this was Hoshino-san’s room.

“Is it okay if I come in……?”

It is not a complimentary act to enter

someone’s room without permission, but it is a fact that Hoshino-san is not in

good health.

Even if I’m not good at it, I don’t

think it’s a bad idea.

Despite my worries, I slowly stepped

into the room.

“Oh, sorry to disturb you.”

I walked carefully, one step at a

time, trying not to make loud footsteps.

I walked through a narrow corridor and

opened the door to a room full of life.

The room was large enough for one

person to live in without any inconvenience. There was not that much stuff, and

it was not messy.

“Oh…….”

I looked around the room and found

Hoshino-san sleeping in his bed.

He was pretty tired. He seemed to be

in quite deep sleep.

“…Kazuto-san.”

When I saw him, I couldn’t help but say what I

call him in VR.

I think it might have been this unrealistic

situation of coming into the house of someone you love that made me feel like I

hadn’t returned to real life yet.

I put the food and drink I had bought

for Hoshino-san on the desk and approached his bed while he was sleeping.

I could hear his breathing in his

sleep.

“……?

When I saw the evening sun shining

through the curtains and illuminating his, I thought to myself, “What is this?

-- …… Hoshino-san is cute.

I’ve always thought he had a neutral

look, but I don’t think he’s so adorable with his innocent eyes closed.

“Oh, he looks like a girl…”

I never expected that the day would

come when I would feel that kind of desire towards a boy of my age.

I hadn’t felt like hugging someone

this much since I first met Kanae.

“………Cool, yet cute.”

I muttered to myself as I stared at

Hoshino-san’s sleeping face up close.

I remember that moment when I ran out

of the camp and was saved.

I didn’t have time to feel anything at

the time, but now that I think about it, it was too cool a profile.

The way he was dying, enduring pain,

and gritting his teeth – and that was just for me.

It was hard not to fall in love with

him.

I kneeled on the floor and lowered my

eyes to the floor.

Hoshino-san’s left hand is now at the

bottom of my field of vision, and I can hear his breathing more clearly.

I feel a little relieved to see that

Hoshino-san doesn’t seem to have any trouble sleeping.

“zzzzz.”

I silently pinched Hoshino-san on the

cheek.

The room was dimly lit and quiet, and

Hoshino-san’s small moaning voice echoed.

However, this seems to be no sign of

him waking up.

I think the fact that he is sleeping

this deep. Even though it is still early in the evening, that means that he has

used up all of his energy.

The energy to endure the pain must

have come from grinding away his mental strength.

The fact that physical exhaustion was

non-existent had nothing to do with it.

“It was painful, wasn’t it?”

I gently squeeze Hoshino-san’s left

hand.

It’s slightly warm.

I continued to stare at his sleeping

face.

I didn’t have anything special to do,

but I didn’t feel bored for a moment, and somehow I felt happy.

And before I knew it, I seemed to have

fallen asleep.

……

…………

………………

Dugdugdug…

I could hear something pulsing.

It seems like I’ve been hearing it all

along, but it’s only when the tempo picks up that I regain consciousness.

I felt a pleasant sensation on my left

cheek.

What is this sound ……?

For some reason, listening to it calms

me down, but I don’t know what’s going on.

I slowly try to open my eyes to check

my situation.

“It’s midnight, and the girl I like is

sleeping in my room.

–And suddenly all of my power is gone.

What I heard was Hoshino-san talking

to himself.

There wasn’t much information from his

words themselves, but the direction and tone of the voice I heard was more than

enough to make sense of it all.

This sound was the sound of

Hoshino-san’s heart, and the heat I felt on my left cheek must be somewhere in

his abdomen.

In short, I guess I’m slumped over

Hoshino-san.

–…… I’m done.

Isn’t this the same as saying that

there is already a favor?

I don’t think I can complain no matter

what I do.

I don’t think Hoshino-san is the

aggressive type, but this is his room and the place where he exposes himself

the most.

It might be possible.

–No, no, what a strange fantasy…

I was embarrassed when I realized that

I had been expecting it.

What a trifle, I scolded myself.

I opened my eyes and stole a look at

Hoshino-san.

He seems to be staring at me with a

tense expression on his face.

It made me a little happy to think

that this rapid heartbeat that I could hear through a piece of cloth was for

me.

I wonder if he… out … stroking my

head.

The moment I heard those words, I knew

my heart was racing.

–Yes, you can pet me? I’d love to.

Is that too much? Doesn’t that matter

to you?

I’m a maiden in love.

I’m a girl in love, and to have the

person I love pet my head is nothing short of the height of happiness.

I focused my attention on my head and

said, “Come on.”

I was going to enjoy it to the

fullest.

“……?”

But no matter how long I waited, the

happiness did not come.

I wondered what was going on and

looked at Hoshino-san’s face.

SI guessed that he was wondering

whether he could pet me or not.

He had his palm poised just above my

head.

–Hurry up and pet me, ……!

Why are you so lost in the act of

patting your head?

You can’t touch my breasts or anything

like that, but a pat on the head is fine!

I suppressed the urge to scream and

continued to send unreachable thoughts to Hoshino-san, who was too

pure-hearted.

I’m sure you’re a virgin, Hoshino-san……! But I can’t speak for anyone else, so I have mixed feelings about it.

That stuff is annoying for me too.

Fluttering, fluttering.

His hand is swaying around me.

Then I jumped into it myself.

“—-!!!”

Oh no, I was much too happy than I

imagined.

My mouth drops open.

I’m pretending to be asleep, but I

can’t control my expression.

At the same time, I could feel

Hoshino-san’s heartbeat getting louder, and my happiness meter was running wild

as if it was about to explode.

My heart is filled with the desire to

throw away this bed and hug Hoshino-san tightly.

–Let’s be patient with that.

But somehow, my reason did its job. I

managed not to cross the line.

“…… Ki, Kitou-san?

However, he was not able to complete

the act.

It seems that I’m being suspected.

I endured in silence.

“Kitou-san?

Ignore it.

He seemed to be wondering, but he

wasn’t sure.

I decided to push through.

“……,”

The moment Hoshino-san’s hand left my

head, I almost let out an “Oh, ……,” but I held back.

The place where I had been happy until

a moment ago felt cold due to the lonely feeling of loss.

“Wake up, Kitou-san Wake up!

I wondered if I should continue to

fall asleep.

I wondered if I should continue to

fall asleep because I thought that maybe he would stroke me again.

But I thought it would be strange if

he didn’t wake up even after shaking me awake, so I decided to open my eyelids.

“……. …… …… Oh, good morning.”

Quietly, our eyes met.

I didn’t know what to say, but I sat up

anyway.

“Good morning, Kitou—-san.

“Ye… yes.”

It’s a strange atmosphere.

Just listening to Hoshino-san’s voice

made my face hot.

My expectations and anxieties were

mixed, wondering what would happen after this.

“……I want to ask a favor of you.”

I wasn’t scared.

It was the first time I had ever been

in a man’s home.

And I never imagined that it would be

just the two of us until today.

But I can’t help but think deep down

that Hoshino-san would be okay with it.

I’m sure that no matter what he does

to me. I won’t feel bad about it.

“I’m sure that no matter what I do to

you, you won’t feel bad about it. (I want to put on pants.) Can you close your

eyes for a minute?”

“…….”

Even I, who had never been in a

relationship before, understood what these words meant.

–He’ll kiss me?.

I don’t know what I’m feeling.

I don’t know if I’m happy, surprised,

or excited.

All kinds of positive feelings are

jumbled together.

–It’s okay. You’ll be fine,

Kazuto-san.

I slowly closed my eyes, feeling the

heat gathering in my face.
