What if he was still inside his home,

hiding—imagining that, he was unable to stop his body from

trembling.

―I’m scared……

Kusamakura stroked

Tatsumi’s lowered head. Suddenly being touched, Tatsumi lifted his

face. He took away his hand with a quiet, ah. Feeling a little

disappointed by that, Tatsumi bit his lip.

“Ah, no……um,

I mean, sorry. For touching you all of a sudden.”

“Huh,

no……”

This was the second time Kusamakura had pet his

head like that. He didn’t really think it was a bad thing. He was

happy when he pat his head, but telling him that would make him sound

way too childish, even so, he was happy to be touched by him. That

was why he didn’t want him to apologize. He couldn’t tell him that

though.

“Anyway, I’ll take a look around the whole

apartment……you come too.”

“Huh……?”

“You’re

anxious, right? We should be together.”

“R-Right.”

Tatsumi

placed the mug on the table, then held out his hand toward

Kusamakura. As if to say, here I am, Kusamakura held out his right

arm for him.
