He started pushing me along the hallway only moments later. Everything was quite rustic. Pretty but rustic. The further we headed, the more it seemed like a typical males place. Suddenly not too much decoration, rather plain walls, not too colorful. But it was very, very tidied up. Not even a single grain of dust on his interior.
At some point, we stopped at a typical white door and he reached out for the doorknob.
"I've been thinking.." he started to murmur, his voice shaking lightly.
Looking at his hand, I realized he was trembling. Not immensely but quite some.
Is he nervous..? Anxious..?
"Y-you said you didn't know where to go once your baby is born.." he stuttered, "A-and you didn't want to raise your child at a hospital.."
His face was avoiding mine, he was just staring at the door, tightly gripping onto the door knob.
"S-so I've been thinking.. And..-" he wanted to go on but then he shook his head, "J-just have a look at this."
He leaned forward and gently pushed the door open. My eyes widened at what was ahead of me.
A nursery..
Bright, yet neutral colors greeted me. The walls were painted in a very faint gray color and accompanied by light birch wood furniture. Picture frames with soft colors added a nice touch. A rocking chair stood in a corner, a little table next to it. On the other side was a tiny table for toddlers to play at, a few baby toys residing on top of it. At this point, I was absolutely speechless.
He's insane..
All the fabric used was in a gentle white. The floor was rather dark, more of a brown, walnut shade and a huge white carpet was spread all over it. Beneath the crib was a small patterned carpet in the same soft colors that were spread all over the walls by picture frames. The changing table was next to the crib but there were a few inches between it. And finally, there was a small shelf with just a few books in it - probably books for children.
"I was wondering.. Or.. No.. I wanted to offer -" he began to say but I just had to cut him off.
"This is wonderful, Koutarou!" I proclaimed, folding my hands together as if I had just applauded him, "But.. Ho-.."
