As the hours stretched on, I found myself growing restless in Ayanokouji's apartment. The steady drumming of rain against the windowpane had transformed into a tempestuous symphony, its intensity matching the growing unease within me. The fading light of dusk seemed swallowed by the relentless downpour, casting the room into an atmosphere of gloom and uncertainty.
I sighed and glanced down at myself, realizing that I was still wearing Ayanokouji's t-shirt. The oversized fabric enveloped me, its scent clinging to my skin, creating a strange mix of comfort and unease. It was a small reminder of his presence, a connection that felt both exhilarating and intimidating.
I paced the room, and my thoughts continuously circled back to Ayanokouji. There was a constant tug at my heart, an undeniable yearning that begged for his attention, his recognition. I found myself longing for something more than just friendship—a connection that transcended the boundaries of camaraderie and ventured into the realm of romance.
The realization washed over me like the unyielding rain outside. The situation we found ourselves in, secluded in his apartment, sharing this intimate space, felt reminiscent of what lovers would experience. The borrowed t-shirt, the stolen glances, the palpable tension—it all seemed to echo the dance of two hearts entwined.
But as hope bloomed within me, doubt cast its shadow. Did Ayanokouji share these hidden desires? Were his actions merely acts of kindness, or did they signify something deeper, something more profound? The enigmatic nature that shrouded him made it difficult to discern his true feelings.
I found solace in the stolen moments we shared, the fragments of vulnerability he revealed, and the sparks that ignited between us. The way he looked at me sometimes, with a hint of warmth beneath his stoic facade, fueled the flames of possibility within my heart. Yet, the fear of misinterpreting his intentions and jeopardizing our intricate relationship held me back.
The storm raged on outside, its intensity mirroring the whirlwind of emotions within me. In the midst of the tempest, I yearned for Ayanokouji to see me, truly see me, as more than just a friend. I longed for him to unravel the layers I carefully concealed and discover the depths of my affection.
The air in the room hung heavy with unspoken tension. Suddenly, Ayanokouji's voice broke through the maelstrom of my thoughts.
"Karuizawa, your clothes have dried," he stated matter-of-factly, his voice devoid of emotion.
I turned to face him, a mix of relief and anxiety flooding my senses. There was something different about him, a subtle shift in his demeanor that I couldn't quite place. It was as if a glimmer of something more lay beneath the surface, stirring my curiosity.
I glanced down at the oversized t-shirt, still clinging to my body, and hesitated for a moment. With a blend of nervousness and a desire for comfort, I gathered my courage and spoke.
"Um, Ayanokouji," I began, my voice slightly trembling. "Do you mind if I keep wearing this? At least until I leave your apartment. It's more comfortable, and it would feel strange to put on my school uniform here."
