(There is a heap of laundry in the living room.)
Lino: He could not take of the laundry probably because he has been busy... Ryouta!!! Get your laundry I folded!!
Ryouta: Ugh!!!!!!!!!
(Ryouta who did not budge from his room, ran out yelling.)
Ryouta: The laundry... I told you many times to leave my laundry alone, expecially my UNDERWEAR!
(His face looked good, flushed red.)
Lino: Well... Umm... I see them and I can't help it...
Ryouta: What? Do you enjoy touching my underwear?
(................That is well... I don't like it...)
Ryouta: So please let me take care of my own underwear! I know because we are living in the same house, sometimes things are, you know, a little too open... But still, this is unacceptable! Let's try not to reveal EVERYTHING to each other! Keeping some things to ourselves is good, right?
Lino: So what I want to say is...
Ryouta: I'm busy at the moment, I'm going in...
(Ryouta only took his underwear and went back to his room.)
Lino: Oh... I need to take the garbage out... Ryouta is responsible for the garbage...
(I just could not call back Ryouta who went into his room, with his face flushed. He has been like that ever since that kiss incident on the grass a few days ago. It is difficult to understand Ryouta, maybe he is regretting the incident or embarassed about it...
Lino: Garbage... I need to leave it out.
(At night, it is sort of dark in front of the office. It bothers me to come out on a night like this, maybe because I've heard about that strange man around.)
Lino: After I throw out the garbage, I am all done for the day......... Uh?
Suspect: !!!!
(That guy... The man with the sunglasses and a mask... The strange man!! Our eyes met. He seems to keep staring at me.)
Lino: Uh...Uh... AHHHHHH!!!!
Suspect: Shoot! Darn!!!
(The man ran away as I screamed.)
Ryouta: What is it?
(Ryouta ran out.)
Lino: Somebody, somebody is looking at me! He has been lurking around this place, and he looks suspicious... Our eyes met!! He was watching me!!
Ryouta: He went that way? Gotta catch this sucker!
(Ryouta came back panting after chasing that man.)
Ryouta: He got away. He was quite fast. You OK? Got scared, eh?
Lino: Uh... Just a little...
Ryouta: I chased him off quite a way out but since he knows you are not living alone, he probably won't come back again. I also reported him to the police and they will soon send an officer for futher investigation, so don't worry, okay? The police said there were reports about some strange people wandering around the town.
(Were there several strange people around? Well, I know at lease two myself, the masked guy and the stalker thug...)
Ryouta: Don't worry, the police are after them. It's a matter of time until the cops catch these suckers.
Lino: Whew......
Ryouta: Still worried? Don't worry. I'll protect you from any harm and danger! You are safe with me.
Lino: ...... *Encourage him and say he did good* Well... I do believe you, maybe just a little.
Ryouta: Trust me! I am stronger than you think I am. So, just relax, OK?
(Well... With him being so self-confident, I don't know if I feel much safer, but I do think he's cute.)
Lino: Uh? Come to think of it... You don't disappear to your room anymore.
Ryouta: What?
Lino: You've been hiding in your room to avoid me.
Ryouta: Er.... That's because... I was just a little shy to see you after that... You know, what I mean.
Lino: Hmmm?
Ryouta: I mean... Just forget about it. I can't explain!
(I could see him rolling his eyes, trying to think of something to change the subject.)
Ryouta: Let's talk about work. What's the schedule like tomorrow? Tomorrow, I am supposed to...
*Following day*
*Chirp-chirp. Chirp-chirp* (sounds of sparrows)
(......Is it morning? I feel as if I fell asleep in the living room while talking to Ryouta last night. It is Ryouta. He looks so lovely while he's asleep, I want to touch him........................)
Lino: Wait, what is this Ryouta? Did we sleep together?!
Ryouta: *Yawning* Er... Lino? Why are you in my room?
(Ryouta still drowsy gets up suddenly after looking around.)
Ryouta: Gosh! Where am I? I must have fallen asleep while talking to you... We were just holding hands and nothing serious happened, right?
Lino: Maybe, maybe not.
Ryouta: Ugh... This is a nightmare! I was ready to forget the mistake of kissing you and now THIS!!!!
Lino: A MISTAKE!!! Kissing me was a mistake?
Ryouta: Er... That maybe is what I said but that's not what I meant...?
Lino: I see... That's why you've been avoiding me for the last couple of days. Huh! I don't want to talk about it anymore. Get ready! It's time to go to work.
Ryouta: Lino... You've got it all wrong... What I really meant is... That's not what I meant...
