The Beginning of Summer

Part 10 - Staying Over Again? (Ch. 1 End)

Kyo POV

I lie in bed, talking to Kaito through chat. We were talking about a video game when he suddenly brought up a topic. He sent me a picture of Hajime and me, sleeping on the couch, my head resting on his lap. That made me jump in my bed.

Me: Hey, why do you have that?!

Kaito: I saw you two earlier like this and it's too good to not take a pic.

Me: Why would you do that?!

Kaito: I'm just curious. What happened to you guys that lead to this event?

Me: Nothing! I can't sleep that night and it happens that he saw me having trouble sleeping. He suggested that I sleep on his lap because that helped him as a kid.

Kaito: Mhmmm, sureeeeee...

Me: What does that supposed to mean?

Kaito: Dude, are you sure that he's not into you?

Me: WHAT?!?!?!

Kaito: I dunno man, that seems suspicious.

Me: Come on man, he's just trying to help. He's being nice!

Kaito: Uhm, not to trigger your past, but didn't that also happen to you? Someone was "being nice" to you, but the person actually likes you.

Me: Ugh, I don't know anymore. I still believe that he's just being nice.

Kaito: Whatever man. One day, he'll do things to get more close to you, then he'll confess.

I don't know why he's making a big deal out of this. He's just being nice! Why does he need to overthink this? He's just a nice guy who's trying to help me sleep. He even listens to my problems even though we just met. Plus, there's no way that you'll immediately fall for a person you just met.

You, don't, right?

I don't know, I've never experienced this before, and as I said before, I'm not good with identifying these feelings stuff.

I hear a faint knock. It was coming from the front door. I got up from the bed and made my way to the front door. I opened it and I was surprised by the person who greeted me.

I'm starting to think about what Kaito said to me.
