I drop into the cushions with a sigh.
And then, all of sudden, I’m blinded by a barrage of pillows.
“Hey…” I can only manage a small noise of annoyance.
Then a single pillow lifts away from me and Ichi’s face appears.
“Senpai, rest while you wait, okay?” One of his smiles blinds me this time.
I give a little nod and he smirks. And pokes me in the forehead.
“Baaaka."
“Shut up."
The door closes with a soft thud and his receding back makes its way towards the van.
I let my tired gaze fall on his tall form. As the trunk door of the van opens.
As the plastic bags make it into the light. As the door slams once again.
My eyes droop and my vision flickers as I see his form coming closer once again.
Ichirou Naruse. My knight in shining armor.
I surrender myself to sleep.
