Twinning Jealousy

Chapter 3: Resolution

Okuda POV:   

   It is now Sunday, two days since Nagisa and I ... hung out. I've been in my place ever since the incident. I told Takebayashi that I might take Monday off because I had some things to take care of. The whole weekend I've been thinking about what happened between Nagisa and I. After the incident, I was too scared to talk to anyone about it, especially my former classmates. I really didn't want to talk to Karma or Akari about this because it might ruin mine and Nagisa's relationship with them. This is so hard! My thoughts were interrupted when I heard my doorbell ring. It was 7:00 p.m..

   "I don't think I'm expecting any visitors today," I said curiously while I walked to the door. The whole day was raining and so I never expected a person to come in today. When I then looked through the peephole and I saw Nagisa ... wait NAGISA! I had made a tiny yelp when I discovered the person on the side of the door. I had guess Nagisa figured that I was at the door.

   "Okuda-san! We need to talk! ... please," he said desperately. I had a feeling that he would come and talk about what happened and I wanted to talk about it too, but my whole body told me not to open the door. As I heard the rain fall faster, the guilt inside controlled my body to open the door to my classmate. On the other side of the door revealed a soaking wet Nagisa in a raincoat.

   "H-hi, N-Nagisa-kun. P-please come in and dry yourself before you catch a cold," I said nervously as I let Nagisa in.

   "Thanks Okuda-san," he thanked me as he entered my apartment. I closed the door and grabbed a towel to give to Nagisa as he took and hung his raincoat. "Thanks." he replied with a sad smile. "Sorry for troubling you. I had to give one of my students my umbrella last Friday and I forgot to buy one, hehe."

    "N-no worries Nagisa-kun," I said to the best of my ability while not trying to break down. I was hoping he would not bring up our little moment together. He had just finished drying himself with the towel I gave him. He then looked at me with great intensity.

    "Anyways ... we need to talk about ... what happened," he said bluntly. It was like glass had shattered as that was the last thing I wanted to talk about, but we needed to settle this problem as soon as we could. I then looked back at Nagisa and he had a regretful expression on his face.

   "S-sure ... but let's go sit somewhere okay," I asked him and he followed me towards my couch.

   As we settled down, we just sat there awkwardly for a few minutes waiting for the right moment to speak about ... it. I took a small glance at Nagisa and I saw that he also had a nervous expression. I opened my mouth ... but no words came out so I closed it immediately. Nagisa had looked at me with a worried expression. We then looked each other in the eyes and, unexpectedly, we both laughed a little about our situation.

   "Well this is awkward," Nagisa chuckled a bit with his statement.

   "Y-yeah," I stuttered as I tried to laugh with him about our awkward situation.

"Anyways ... I just want to say that I'm sorry for kissing you last Friday. I was just caught in the moment and I deeply regretted it afterwards," he then stood up from the couch and bowed his head. "Please forgive, Okuda-san."

' I'm also sorry. I should be the one apologizing. '

"No no, Nagisa-kun," I stood up to bring back Nagisa straight up. "I should be the one who should be apologizing," I said firmly to the blunette. "I never intended to kiss you and let my emotions take control. I-it's just that you were so s-sweet to me that I accidentally k-kissed you," I barely explained through my stuttering to the now shocked Nagisa as he was processing what to say next.
