Chapter 12: Cherish

Finally, after minutes of long teasing sessions. A bus came along to finally pick us up. We all headed inside and we noticed how there wasn't a single person inside, which means we all had the bus to ourselves for now. Immediately, Kiyoko pushed Misaki and Yachi meaning they had to sit next to eachother.

For some odd reason, the bus had a very convenient one seat near the door which Kiyoko took. Kinoshita and Narita took seats next to eachother as well which left me and Ennoshita. We both looked at eachother and shyly sat in the second row, I took the window seat as he took the other.

Yes, the whole bus may be all ours, but it would be kinda rude for us two to split you know? Plus it would be awkward if more people came and sat next to us. Kinoshita and Narita we're at our left side of the second row. Misaki and Yachi sat behind us and Kiyoko sat infront of us.

The bus started moving as soon as we we're all seated. Luckily the driver was nice enough to let us pick our seats first before driving off.

We passed many small and colorful houses, a few fields of plants and flowers, many many trees. It was quite cloudy at the time so the view from the outside didn't hurt my eyes thanks to the sun being hidden away.

The bus was silent, I was already getting bored. Everyone else seemed to be minding their business, well Kinoshita and Narita we're a bit too close but I won't expose them due to what happened earlier already.

I wasn't as nervous as before, I still am nervous especially when I'm still sitting next to Ennoshita. It wasn't awkward but it was just silence, comfortable silence if you asked me. I sighed as I opened my phone and wore an earphone to my right ear leaving the other one hanging on my hoodie.

I scrolled down my music playlist, I couldn't really find anything that would fit the mood of my current situation. Well that is until...

'Somebody that I used to know?' I read inside using my mind.

I smirked to myself and tapped on that certain song that I haven't listened to in a while. I didn't bother looking to my side since I might accidently stare at him. You know? It will be extremely awkward if he noticed me stari-

I flinched lightly as I felt a hand on mine, I glanced to my side to notice that Ennoshita is half asleep. He also had earphones on, but both of them are plugged in his ears. I paused my song. I couldn't really wake him up, I didn't wanna be rude and ruin his sleep. I'll just pretend later that I also fell asleep and didn't notice the whole when he wakes up.

I'm certainly curious on what his current song is. I gulped as I lean in a little to his ear, hopefully not waking him up in the process cause that would be a disaster. I leaned in more and more until I could finally hear his music.

'Somebody that I used to know..~'

My eyes widened a little as I lean away from his ear, blushing. This is too much of a coincidence. Are the gods and goddesses really blessing me throughout the days right now? What's happening?

I glance back at our hands, his hand on top of mine. It's quite a sight to never forget, I couldn't help but smile at this romantic accident. I opened my phone again and continued playing the song as I gaze to the outside.

Watching the birds fly freely in the sky, the flowers dancing to the wind.

'I'll forever cherish this moment while it lasts' I smiled as my eyes flicker shut.
