Disclaimer : The "night with Yoshida" chapters are happening on the same day as this chapter btw
Denji can't seem to get Yoshida out of his head. The incident is so fresh in his mind that whenever he thinks about it his face flushes red. But he tells himself to get a grip. Because today is his second date with Asa and she's coming over super soon to watch a movie with him.
The doorbell rings. Denji gets up nervously to awnser the door and at the door he sees Asa staring back at him.
They greet each other and Asa enters the apartment. To summarize, the date was pretty plain. They just watched a movie and ate popcorn. But right when Asa was about to leave. Denji and her made direct eye contact. Just like before. But it had a different aura. Asa leaned in to put her lips against his. She placed a soft kiss on his lips.
Denji thought the kiss would be more special, but it was quite plain and boring. His other kisses were much more eventful. The boring kiss with Asa made him miss Aki's kisses. Aki's kisses felt good. But weren't crazy. Like the barf kiss. Or the one where he got his tongue bit off. Aki's kisses were gentle but the way Aki's tongue stroked his almost every part of his mouth made his knees lock.
They said goodbye again and Denji shut the door. When he turned around, he saw Nayuta standing there. Menacingly.
"I refuse." She says.
"What?"
"I refuse. I refuse. I don't accept it." She repeats.
Nayuta stomps away, chanting 'I refuse' quietly. Like those words are the only thing holding her together.
