Chapter Three - Sleepover

I was going to be alone with Takagi-San.

Without my parents.

In my house.

Takagi's POV

Nishikata unlocked the door with his keys. He went into the kitchen to find his mom, but he found a note on the counter, supposedly for him. I saw a glimpse of the note, but I couldn't make out what it said.

"What is it, Nishikata?" I said. "Uh, my parents aren't going to be home for two days. We're a-alone.." he trailed off as he spoke.

"Aw, don't be embarrassed Nishikata! I can help you cook! I am a great chef after all." I said proudly.

"O-Ok, s-sure Takagi-San.." he trailed off again. I wonder what was going through his mind right now.

If only he knew that I enjoyed staying here. If only he knew my feelings towards him.

"Be careful, Nishikata! You'll burn yourself if you splash hot oil around." I said. We were cooking some curry, and we were adding oil into the pot, and Nishikata was nervous so he rushed. "Don't worry Takagi-San, I'll be fi— OUCH OUCH OUCH!!" he yelped in pain.

I quickly took a pack of ice from his fridge and I put it on the placed where he burned himself.

He accidentally splashed oil on himself, while boasting about how he wasn't going to splash oil on himself.

"Oh great. Now I have a burn! I should have been more careful." he said with an annoyed tone. "I guess I was right then, huh." I said with a smirk on my face.

"Don't worry, Nishikata. I'll help you get better. I'll make this by myself and you'll have a delicious dinner to heal you up!" I said.

Nishikata looked flustered. He turned towards me and I looked into his eyes with concern and hope. His face turned red again.

"Hahahaha! Nishikata! Your face is so red, how many tomatoes do you eat a day?! Hahaha!" I was laughing so hard I snorted.

"Grr! Takagi-San!" he said annoyed.

Nishikata's POV

"Mmmm! This is really good Takagi-San!" I said, while eating her delicious curry. Takagi-San looked happy to hear that, and she blushed, just slightly. Her blush went away as soon as I looked at her face.

"Thanks, Nishikata." she smiled at me and I felt as if i was going to melt of happiness. Her simple gesture to thank me set the mood for the day: train wreck of unrequited love

After we both ate, my injury felt way better. I thanked Takagi-San for the food.

"So, do you want to watch 100% Unrequited Love with me?" I said nervously, but confident, if that was even possible. I have to admit, I was scared that she would make fun of me.

"Of course! I "didn't" know you watched/read that show." said Takagi-San, with a hint of tease in her voice when she said "didn't."

I turned on the latest episode and sat down on my couch. Surprisingly, Takagi-San sat down right next to me, and snuggled on my lap.

Thump-Thump. Thump-Thump.

Takagi-San was snuggling with me, on my lap. I felt flustered as she got closer. I gave in, and put my arm around her shoulders. She seemed to like that position.

We watched a few episodes, and then I turned it off. It was getting pretty late, and the rain and wind made a huge hurricane outside.

"Hey Takagi-San, it's getting late, we should get to bed soon." I said, and as soon as I said that, I remembered that she would be sleeping next to me. I totally forgot.

"Sure Nishikata. We should take showers first. I got a bit wet walking in the rain, and I noticed that you did, too." said Takagi-San. I also forgot about that. "Uhm, s-sure." I said, nervously looking away. Looking at anything but her. I felt the blood rise to my cheeks.

It was a familiar feeling that hit me. The feeling that made me enjoy being with her. The feeling that made my heat flutter when near her. The feeling that made me realize, I love her.

While I was deep in thought, Takagi-San rushed upstairs and into the bathroom. While I heard the water in the shower turn on, I wen to my room to find some small and clean clothes for her. I found a white T-Shirt that said 'Beach Life!' on it.

It was one of my old shirts, and it was pretty small. I made sure it was clean. Then, I found a pair of small girlish looking shorts. I wondered why I had these. Maybe they were my mom's?

I heard the shower turn off and my throat felt dry. I left the clean clothes in front of the door. When she came out, she was wrapped in towels. The sight of seeing her that way made my heart skip a beat. Or two.

"Thanks for the clothes, Nishikata!" she said happily as she took the clothes and headed back into the bathroom to change.

She came out with the clothes on and her hair almost dry. She looked so pretty with her hair like that. And, too see her in my clothes? Now that was a present.

This was the side of me that I never knew I had. The side of me that liked this skilled teaser. Her teasing made it even more fun to like her. She was a perfect girl in my eyes.

"Hey Nishikata, your zoning out. Nishikata?" she said. "Oh uh sorry. I was um, thinking about ice cream, yeah, ice cream.." I said unsurely. She would probably find out.

"Hmmm? Then why is your face bright red?" said Takagi-San. She looked at me with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Uh no reason..heh." I said. "Ill just shower now." I ran up to my room, grabbed some clean clothes, ran into the bathroom, and slammed the door behind me.

I breathed heavily, as I was about to explode from the embarrassment. I quickly took a shower and got dressed. I came out the of bathroom and headed into my room.

As I walked in, I saw a peacefully sleeping Takagi-San in my bed. I hesitantly lied down next to her and—I couldn't help myself—snuggle with her.

I gently stroked her hair, and fell asleep thinking about her.

That night I had a peaceful sleep.
