Camp Criminal (NSFW) (BxBxBxBxB)

Chapter 4

(June 23)
The next day, things are really quiet and awkward. This is awful. I hate this. But maybe this is better than nothing??

The thing is, Gin is always up before the whistle and I have no idea why. He's already gone from the cabin when the whistle wakes me up. Kentaro rolls over but continues trying to sleep as usual. I didn't get much sleep last night... So I feel especially tired and annoyed by the whistle waking me up today.

Even if the start of the morning was alright, walking into the cafeteria is where it was awkward. Gin glanced at me but quickly looked away. Then I didn't feel his eyes on me like I usually do. I totally ruined our relationship, didn't I? But shouldn't I be glad?? I have one less stalker... Yet when Kentaro arrives, even he is a bit awkward and doesn't look at me. Great... I'm alone again... Wait, that's what I wanted! Isn't it...?

The day drags. When it's the bonding activity, we switch partners again for the new week. I'm with Hisashi. He won't be annoying, will he...? I don't think I want to deal with that right now... Yuuma makes things harder by having the activity be crocheting. Why that?? I don't know how to crochet to save my life. The day seems like it'll continue to be long...

"I've been meaning to ask for a while now..." Hisashi starts. "But may I ask why you had bandages on your wrists at the start of camp?" I look up to see him smiling as usual. He has a constant smile. It can be a little creepy at times. But this one seems a little kinder somehow.

"Huh? Bandages?" I try to get out of my thoughts. Oh yeah, Yuuma helped bandage my wounds. Of course, they're all healed now and didn't scar. "Oh... My handcuffs were too tight. They cut into my skin," I explain.

"Really? Lucky~"

Huh?? Lucky??

"I asked the officer in charge of me to make my handcuffs tighter but he wouldn't~ I wonder why he wouldn't grant my request~ It's no harm to him, right?" Hisashi said.

What the... He's crazy. Why would you want your handcuffs cutting into your skin?? I don't want to have to deal with this pervert. Let me change partners again. Isn't it Yuuma next? That'll be the break I need from everyone else.

Hisashi chuckles. "You look like you want to run away~ But you're stuck with me for a week so you'll have to accept it~" He winks.

Maybe... Maybe if I ignore him... Everything will be alright... I focus on the crochet needle in my hand and the page of instructions in front of me on the table. Hisashi seems to get the idea and is quiet. We work on our crochet creations in silence.

I was right about not being able to crochet to save my life. I can't even thread the needle correctly. How are you supposed to do this?? I want to give up, toss it aside, and stare into space for eternity. Not sure if Yuuma would allow that though. I shouldn't try to get on his bad side in any way. I don't want to be in danger once the year is up.

Hands suddenly grab mine and before I can protest, they help me make a knot with the thread and start a chain. I stare at the proper start of a crochet necklace. Hold on... This might actually be easy? I slowly turn my head to Hisashi. He's still holding my hands and is smiling with his eyes.

"If you need help, you should ask~" he says.

I feel a little embarrassed. I pull my hands away from his. His hands are a bit bigger than mine... Why is that a turn on...

"Sure..." I say. "Thanks..."

He continues smiling. Then he finally goes back to his own crochet piece. He's further along than me and is crocheting like a master. What is he making...? Has he crocheted before...? I have to stare in awe for a moment. Eventually I get over it and continue making my necklace. It's the easiest thing to make in this page of instructions so that's why I chose it.
