Bright irises

leaned down towards me,

observing my reaction from up close--


--so close that I could easily see my own surprised face

reflected in those clear pools of blue.



"It really is you..."



Ba-thump.


"I didn't think we'd meet here 

of all places..."


Ba-thump ba-thump.



"Not that I'm complaining. 

It's just..."


...Why?




"Having someone my age see me working here

is kinda embarrassing...

heh."



...Why...


"Being too self-conscious is not a virtue...

Kumo-san."  



"Ahhh, such a cold greeting...

I guess I still have a long way to go, huh?"

He joked.



Why is it that...  


"Hmph."  



"Is this becoming a comedy routine?"



...just from meeting you...


  "Don't be silly."  



"Haha, sorry sorry."



...and catching a glimpse of your bashful smile...



I clutched at my chest.



...my heartbeats start to become so unbearably loud?
