Midori wasn’t on the train that monday morning
nor the afternoon.
i didn’t see her at school
so i assumed she had stayed at home.
is she avoiding me?
i didn’t blame her if she was.
Kohaku sensed that something was wrong
and he pestered me the whole day about it
but i wouldn’t budge.
“Sora-channn
just tell me what’s wrong.”
we were both on the train home after maths
and he had invited himself over to my house
for supper.
he was looking at me
with a sincere smile.
he wasn’t wearing his glasses
and i noticed that they left a slight tan mark in their absence.
i sighed
and looked down at my legs.
“it’s complicated.”
“then explain it to me.”
so i did.
he nodded here and there
and smiled when i mentioned our kiss
then when i finished,
he asked,
“what does it feel like?”
“なに?”
“to want to kiss someone?” he asked and
stared at me with a serious expression on his face.
“have you never felt that before?”
he bit his lip
and hesitated
then admitted softly
“i’m asexual.”
i nodded in understanding.
the train pulled into the station.
[i love kohaku so much ^.^
なに (nani) means 'what?']
