But for Shinsuke, it wasn't like that at all. Everything had been weird for him lately too. The dreams he saw always had Shizuku in them and it bothered him because he didn't mean to think of her that much that she manifested herself into his dreams.
Surely yes, Shizuku had been a girl who appealed to him the most but he didn't want her in his dreams. He felt extremely embarrassed thinking that maybe the reason why she's inside his head was that he is subconsciously sexualizing the girl, and that's the least he wanted and would ever do.
Even for him, meeting the girl in such random and even weird situations had him questioning why would they always find themselves meeting? He didn't want the girl to feel uncomfortable, he wanted to befriend her rather.
Shinsuke let out a sigh as he walked out of school with an umbrella in hand. The soft pitter-pattering of the drops of rain lulled him in a trance as his mind wandered again to nothing. It was like driving a car then falling asleep but the car still drove itself safely and perfectly. It always felt like that for him, but he wasn't able to do anything about it. He was always pushed by someone or something, and he didn't have the will to go against it.
He wasn't given any choice and Shinsuke hated it. Most of the time this happened was when he was at school, leaving him unable to finish his routine of cleaning. Shinsuke consulted his grandma about this and instead of deeming it as rubbish, the old woman smiled in a way where Shinsuke was bothered.
"Shinsuke, you're probably being guided." he remembered her say, "Just leave yourself in their care"
Their? Shinsuke asked himself a thousand times. What does that mean? It confused him all the more after that.
After a few days of experiencing it, Shinsuke noticed something off. Whenever he feels like this, he ends up meeting the girl he was trying to actually refrain from doing so.
And he did.
There she was, at the bus stop, waiting patiently under the shed above. As if a switch flicked on, Shinsuke stood there cursing himself why did he have to run to her now. It didn't take long for Shizuku to turn her head and meet his eyes.
"K-Kita-san," she said.
Wanting to clear up the misunderstanding after seeing Shizuku give him an uneasy look, Shinsuke walked closer. Only then, he saw the girl was drenched in water as the ends of her hair had drop falling from it.
"I-I wanted to say sorry for the past times Yamanobe-san. It wasn't my intention to make you feel uncomfortable" he sincerely said and even bowed in front of the girl, wanting to receive her forgiveness.
Shizuku felt a bit guilty at her assumption that the boy was stalking her and smiled warmly after a while, "It's okay. I should be saying sorry too for being so rude these past few days" she said and bowed in front of him too.
The two lifted their heads and showed each other smiles which both of them accepted wholeheartedly, feeling like the uneasiness around them slowly merged with the wind and got blown away.
Shinsuke clenched his fist and swallowed the nervousness building up inside him again and offered a hand, "You can stay at my house until the rain stops Yamanobe-san,"
"I don't want to trouble you Kita-san"
"Just think of this as my way of making it up to you, now shall we go?" he replied and extended again his hand, "Yamanobe-san?"
Shizuku accepted and slipped her hand with his, "Shizuku is fine"
In the back of their heads, voices resounded again.
