Hirate Yurina's One Shot!

Not that I mind though+

Manaka's POV

It's been a while since Techi come here to visit me. I'm actually glad that she's doing just fine even if I'm not around her. Well... It's not like I'm doing anything for Techi, right?

Now the two of us just watching some owarai channels, staring quietly to the television i had.

"I have watched Ambivalent's performance in Music Station. You guys are really cool!"

"Huh? Um... Yeah."

"I have a long way to catch up with you guys. It's been a while since I'm done live performances."

"Then why you're not coming back?" Techi suddenly ask 'that' question.

Shit. She really ask me right in the face. Cause of the sudden question, i have become a bit more cautious of what's coming next.

"Um... Maybe soon?"

"Soon? How long is that?"

"Well... Soon."

"I need certainty here."

'…She's really want a good answer from me.'

Suddenly Techi comes a bit closer to me, staring at my face straight. Now that i can't avoid her stare anymore.

"Just... Wait for me?"

"I'm not satisfied with that kind of answer."

"Sorry."

"I'm scared..."

"Why is that?"

"That you're going to graduate. Just like Zuumin."

I looked back at Techi with my confident, then smiled cheerily to her. I messed up her black short-hair. "I'm not, okay?"

"It's my fault right? That she's graduate?"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's because... I'm always have that Center position. 7th time straight row."

"You're thinking too much. What you can do is to support her decision. Not blaming yourself again like this."

Techi looked away, staring back on the television that showing a bunch of CMs. She's keep being like this again, blaming herself for member's dissatisfied.

"Well... It's not like we're going to stay in Keyakizaka46 forever. I mean... If we could, we want it that way. In the future, we're going to graduate gradually."

"I just... Want to protect Keyakizaka. I'm willing to do anything for Keyaki."

"It's a good thing to love Keyaki but..." I pulled her to my embrace.

"You also need to think about yourself." Then i rubbed her back gently, trying to calm her down. Ah~ it's been a long time i haven't done this to Techi.

For a while, we're just stay still in this position. Neither two of us want to pulled away, it's just... This is too comfortable.

"…How long are we going to be like this?" I asked Techi that still hide her face on my chest.

"…Forever."

"That's scary."

"Spoil me." Ask Techi while her arms clings on my neck.

"So you're really miss me, huh?"

"…Whose fault is this? It's not me of course."

"How am i going to spoiling you if you didn't even want me to move an inches?"
