How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

My eyes are shaking.

Shizukuzuku is overflowing and the cheeks are conveyed.

On the verge of a distorted face, the orange covered his face with a handkerchief.

"Hey, are you okay...?

"Hee, I'm fine... just... because...!

Fortunately, I didn't see anything around me.

Everyone is obsessed with what's in front of them, and they don't look at me.

That's right.

I'm just thinking about the orange in front of me right now, and I'm doing my best.

"... isn't that right?

What?

"... this time, as a friend, as a human being, that's not what this is about...?

That reminded me of a lot of interactions with oranges.

... oh, yakiniku.

"... no. I really like a girl named Rika Tangerine."

"... I see..."

"... ahh"

After that, the orange continued to cry for a while.

As soon as I was finished, I slowly stroked the orange head.

After a while, the orange took a deep breath several times and finally settled down.

The handkerchief was removed, his eyes swollen, and his pretty face still turned towards me like a joke.

"... I cried."

"... well, what is it? Not bad, not now."

"It's not good... I wanted to respond properly....."

Answer.

That said, I felt the pain of being able to tighten my heart.

Of course, there is an answer to the confession.

I couldn't afford it, and I completely forgot about it.

"No, no, wait. I'm still ready....."

"You often tell people that you didn't prepare them."

"That's... well, that's right..."

"Now, as a punishment, let's ask why you like me."

"Ha!? Oh, you know, that much!

"I don't know. Please explain properly. In your words."

Damn it...

No, but if it's true, maybe it's right.

You know what I mean? It's negligence, dishonesty, poison.

"... just stay over there."

"No. What you look like is also important."

"... damn it"

When I coughed up, the orange made a smooth and serious expression.

Both wet eyes looked straight at us.

"... when I do what I like, I definitely want to be alone. That's more fun. I'm not disturbed, I can concentrate, and I'm at ease."

"... I see."

"If you want to enjoy yourself, it's probably best to be alone. That's always been the case. That's what I've been thinking."

"... yes"

"But lately, I think maybe not... That's weird, right? No, it's crazy, because it never happened in my life before...."

"Yes"

"But... I've changed. Thanks to the orange, it has changed slightly. I thought it was the cause."

……

"Suppose you thought you two were more fun than one.... if you think you two are better at eating good food. When I watch my favorite movie, I think they're more interesting."

Tangerine was crying again.

Maybe I was just crying a little too.

"That's because I think it's more important that we're together than what's in front of us.... because I think I like him better. That's why I want to do it with that person."

What is it, orange?

Didn't you see my face?

After all, you're hiding your face with a handkerchief.

"Whether I can do it alone or maybe I can enjoy it alone, I want to do it with oranges. Because I like oranges."

……

……

Orange made a handkerchief after a sniffing noise.

In the meantime, I wiped away my tears.

"... yes, I understand very well."

"... is that so?"

……

"... so what do you say?"

"Ah, yes, that's right!

"Here."

Apparently, I really forgot.

Orange straightened up in a hurry and exhaled deeply and deeply.

"... now, let's start again from Nanba."

"Why?!

"After all, this kind of thing is important for natural flow, right? And do you realize that? You just said you still like me.

"Eh...."

... oh, that's right.

Indeed, I just told her how I feel about oranges.

To be precise, this is still just a confession, and what I wanted to do...

"... orange"

"... yes"

"... I like it. I want you to be my lover."

"... it seems that it's Nanba who won't be able to tighten up until this time."

"... it can't be helped. It's my first time."

"Fufu... Well then, it's going to be tough for the first time."

"... just tell me, you too"

I'll stare at the orange like a joke.

Orange smiled again, wiping her fingers with the last tear that was flowing as if she remembered.

"Nanba is a very kind person. I want you to love me more and live."

The oranges were beautiful.

It was undoubtedly the most beautiful thing I've seen since we met.

"But if it doesn't come true, if everyone doesn't realize it, can I just love you?

"... ahh. Ah."

"I like Nanba, too. Become a lover."
