04.I'm not a child

There was an unexplainable tension between us. Which was subtle but noticeable. He reaches for his phone.

"Do you mind if I play something?"

"N-Not at all Nanami-san!"

"Okay. If you feel sleepy just tell me I'll turn it off."

He had a good taste in music, I could tell from the gentle melody that filled the car. It was just as expected. I wasn't sleepy at all, I rested my head back closing my eyes as the wind brushed against my face, it was mesmerizing his low voice singing along the music. Only if this would never come to and end, if I didn't have to leave..

"May I ask why did you want to know about me..?"

"Well you may have noticed Nanami-san.. That I respect you a person and as a senior. But what I wanted to know more about you was as.."

"As?"

"Well someone who just deeply cares about you.. Would be more appropriate."

I don't want to risk.. Having him hate me.
I'd rather just be by his side than have him realise my feelings and slowly distant himself from me.

"Well I care about you too Y/n. Both as a friend and senior."

Does he have to keep saying friend? It's starting to stab me in the heart little by little..

I sigh.

"I'm sorry Y/n, it must've been awarded to be called a friend by someone far older than you."

He felt like he said something he shouldn't have. So he tried to apologize.

"It's not that Nanami-san.. I'm happy you care about me..."

"Then was it the part where I treated you as friend? If it was I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable-"

"That's not it."

I slam my first against the window in anger shattering it. The glasses that broke were about to stab me when he puts his hand in between stopping the car immediately. He was bleeding all over me.. It was my fault..

"Are you fine Y/n!? Did you get hurt by the-"

I pull his hand down close to me hugging it.

"I-I'm not the one who's hurt here Nanami-san. W-We need to treat your wound before it catches an infection-"

I was holding it too tight his hand was trembling, I noticed and let his hand go.

"I-I'm sorry-"

He takes off his tie and ties it around his hand.

"It's not your fault Y/n. It's just a small scratch. Let me have a look at you first."

I give in and let him have a good look at me first, I only had minor scratches around my cheeks. I took the handkerchief from my bag and put pressure on his wound.

"Do you have an emergency kit in your car Nanami-san?"

"I do."

He opens the compartment and there was a first aid kit in there. He takes it out and places it on his lap trying to open it with one hand. I swear this man.

"Let me."

I snatch it away from him and open it taking out the equipment needed.

"Thank you Y/n."
