Cherry Blossom Abyss

Chapter Twenty Four

Me and uehara walk through the backyard and when we're far enough,uehara shoves me. Quite hard actually.

I stumble.

"Ow! Uehara??"

"What was that??" He asks,voice irritated.

"What??"

"The lovey dovey look into the eyes thing!"

"His eyes are pretty!" I defend.

"Shutup! I know that,those are MY eyes!"

He lets his head fall back,groaning and shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Now I have to hear him talk about: 'did you see how she looked at me?? You think she likes me??'"

I roll my eyes.

"You're over reacting,uehara."

"No,I'm jealous. And in love. Why can't Jun just like dick?"

I burst out laughing and uehara smiles at me,nudging me.

"And you got to spoon feed him, too. I'm telling nao."

I shove him.

"No,you're not."

"Then hands off my man." He shrugs.

I laugh more.

"You're so cute when you're in love,uehara."

He stares at me.

He slowly reaches out,almost hesitantly,and grabs my hand. Holding it.

I blink,looking at our hands.

"...uh...?"

"We used to hold hands as kids, remember?" Let's hold hands now."

I look away,blushing.

"You always made fun of me for it,though."

He shrugs.

"Because I was too embarrassed to hold your hand back then. Until I got over it. And angry that Jun was holding your hand."

I narrow my eyes.

"Sounds like you like me."

We approach my porch and he lets go,turning around.

"See you,vi." He goes to walk off but I stop him.

"You're not going to answer me?"

He turns back around,looking at me,annoyed.

"Vi,look. I don't even know why my dick gets hard for Jun half the time. Let alone girls. Don't ask me dumb questions I don't even know the answer to."

"But you like Jun?"

He shrugs. "I guess."

"And you like me."

He tilts his head back,grunting.

"You're not my type,vi,okay?"

"But saeko at gym was your type??"

He blinks at me,then laughs.

"Sounds like you're jealous,vi."

"I'm not! I'm just trying to figure you out!!"

He smiles at me,stepping up the steps,leaning in and grabbing my wrist to pull me down towards him.

When I fall closer to his face,he leans in and kisses me. So softly.

Then pulls away,taking a step back and putting his hands into his pockets,shrugging.
