my heart is going to burst..[ch. 7]

"Is everyone packed up and ready to leave?" Megumi called out around the apartment as she lugged her suitcase to the entrance/exit hallway outside of the hotel room. "Yes!" The group replied as they all met Megumi at the exit. "Did any of you leave anything behind?" Megumi reminded. "Oh! Thank you for reminding me Takeshita! I forgot my extra sweater in one of the cabinets. Wait for me guys!" Yoshikawa called out as she dropped all her bags off in the hallway and ran back to get her stuff. "Oh.. ha.. that's funny because I think I forgot something too." Akenon scratched the back of her neck nervously as she ran back inside to get it. "Hurry up Yoshikawa and Akenon! We have to be at the bus stop in an hour!" Megumi called out from outside.

When everyone got everything they needed, they all headed out of the hotel with their suitcases. "can we make a pit stop?" Hori asked Megumi. "Hm.." Megumi checked the time in her watch. "I guess so. But make it quick." Megumi replied as the group followed Hori. "Where we goin', Hori?" Ishikawa asked as he looked around. "You'll see." She replied with a giggle. "Miyamura-kun?" Megumi said out of the blue, thinking about when to hold Miyamura's hand. "Y-yeah, Takeshita-san?" Miyamura replied, looking at her. "Can you do me a quick favour?" Megumi asked politely. "Yeah n-no problem! What do you need?" Miyamura smiled. "C-can I hold your hand?" Megumi stuttered, with no romantic experience. "E-EH?!" A surge of blush appearing across Miyamura's face, and so did Megumi, but her hair and her glasses covered it up. "P-p-please? Although if you don't want to do it.. you don't have to.." Megumi looked away, still blushing. "God, she's so cute.." Miyamura thought, his face still a tomato. "N-NO! I'll do it.. I'll hold your hand." Miyamura yelled as he grasped Megumi's hand. His hand was warm. The warmth not only filled Megumi's hand, but her heart. They were both looking away from each other, blushing and red. "Her hand.. is really soft." Miyamura thought as he covered his mouth with his hand, flustered. "My hand.. it feels.. warm and soft.." Megumi fiddled with one stray strand of hair. "My insides feel like they're full of butterflies.." Megumi's face was red as she looked at her and Miyamura's hands, holding each other. "My heart.." they both thought in unison. "I feel like my heart is going to burst." They both put their free hand on their heart.

Soon, they made it to a souvenir store. "We should buy some stuff before we leave Kyoto!" Hori grinned as Yoshikawa and Akenon punched the air as Megumi and Miyamura quickly let go of each other's hands.

Everyone went inside the souvenir store, looking for something that caught their eye. "Uh.. Takeshita?" Miyamura called Megumi over to one aisle. "Yes, Miyamura-kun?" she replied curiously. "C-can I ask you for some advice?" Miyamura stuttered over his words as Megumi nodded. "S-so.. This is awkward to ask but.. what would you think a girl would like? I mean, what would the girl I like want me to get her?.." Miyamura looked at his options, blushing. "The girl you like?" Megumi tilted her head, a bit hurt inside but she shoved it off. "Yeah, like the girl I want to be with..." Miyamura shoved his hands in his pockets, flustered. "Oh! Erm.. what is she like?" Megumi asked, wanting to help him as a tint of red spread across her cheeks. "W-well.. she's really pretty-.. she's always cheerful.. and I just feel happy around her.." Miyamura smiled to himself as Megumi thought of who this girl might be. "Definitely Hori-san." She thought. "So, maybe she would want something genuine. She wouldn't want a gift that I pick or what some other girl picks out for her. She would want something that came from you.. at least that's what I think." Megumi smiled. "Y-you're right! Thank you, Takeshita-san. It has to come from me." Miyamura said, determined. "You're welcome, Miyamura-kun. I hope you find something for her." Megumi replied as she walked off.

"Where are you going, Shinon-chan?" Akenon asked as Megumi walked past her. "Bathroom." she replied in her monotone voice, her braid no longer resting on her right shoulder. Before Akenon could say anything, Megumi was already gone.
