Chapter 617 - Blue

Tadano’s attention turned to our direction because of Nami turning on the lights in her room.

At this point, with her back turned in that direction, Nami was unaware that her childhood friend from next door was standing there with his eyes widened in surprise.

The way his mouth opened as if a lump blocked his throat was kind of hilarious. But the way a pained expression instantly filled his face, it’s easy to guess that he still hadn’t moved on completely.

Moreover, seeing the girl she liked and grew up with bringing a guy in her room during the night, he’d be more than an idiot if he failed to surmise what’s about to happen.

Compared to the hopeless Ogawa, Tadano learned his place quite early on after that confession he did.

That’s why to save him from the shame of Nami closing the curtains on him, I made a little gesture with my head, telling him to go away as soon as his eyes met mine.

If he failed to pick that up, I could imagine the scenario that would happen.

Nami would be surprised and embarrassed upon seeing him standing there... However, I doubt she’d delay this night any longer. She’d swallow that embarrassment and apologize to that guy before firmly closing her windows and curtain to not let him see what’s about to him.

Fortunately, Tadano already closed his window and curtains before Nami turned around to pull me to her bed.

It’s better like this. Being unaware that someone saw us inside a room. For sure, had she seen him there and she did what I mentioned, she’d either say something cruel like ‘I don’t care if he knew’ or she’d feel guilty for a while but in the end, she’d clear her mind to accomplish what we planned for tonight.

“Oh. I forgot to close the curtains.”

As expected, that’s the first thing she noticed.

“Wait, let me do that for you.”

“No. I’ll do it. Just sit down here and... look around and tell me your impression of my room.”

We pulled on each other but the result was Nami eventually sat me down the side of her bed before climbing up to close it.

As I heard the rustling sound of the curtains, I did what she told me. Look around her room.

Truthfully, her room didn’t look girly at all or rather because of the different hues of blue that decorated her walls, the first thing that came to my mind was ‘How cool~’

Her bedsheet was white but her pillows and her blanket also possessed the blue attributes.

On one corner, an acoustic guitar was displayed on a stand.

That was new, I never thought she’d be someone interested in instruments.

Her computer table was beside it and it’s also decorated in more blues.

Her desk was normal, there’s a picture frame placed next to a desk shelf filled with academic books.

I couldn’t quite see the photo clearly from where I was sitting but it’s definitely not my photo. I could somehow make out a foreign background. Probably something she brought back from last year when she studied outside of the country.

While my eyes were still scanning the interior of her room, I felt Nami’s presence behind me and following that, her arms slipped from my shoulders and crossed them around my neck.

“So? Does this pass as a girl’s room?”

“Definitely. Just smelling your scent filling this room was enough to consider it as a pass.”

“You pervert. It’s my room. It will be weird if you can’t smell my scent here.”

“Exactly my point. Knowing that it’s yours is enough. But can you enlighten me about something, Nami?

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Do you love blue more than me?”

Nami appeared to be contemplating for a while as if she’s having a tough decision. After a while, with a wide grin on her lips, she answered, “... Is that even a question, Ruu? Even you cannot replace blue.”

“As I thought, I will be defeated by a color...” I shook my head before putting on a sullen expression.

Nami failed to contain her laugh as she aggressively pinched my cheeks. “Look at this guy. You’re the one who compared yourself to a color. Wait here.”

After saying that, the girl stood up and went to her wardrobe.

While humming a very cheerful tune, she rummaged through its contents.

After a while, I saw her pulling a shirt out of it.

And guess what, it’s a blue shirt. Furthermore, it’s not her size as it seemed to be a commemorative shirt from one event in a public aquarium. There were fishes printed on it, swimming in blue water.

Before I could imagine her in that shirt, she returned to my side and grabbed my collar before sliding down to the button of my uniform. “Let me take this off of you...”

Nami’s eyes were fixated on me as she slowly but surely took it off me. Soon after that, she first admired my naked body before she had me put on the blue shirt.

Inhaling the fragrant scent of the shirt, there’s no doubt that it carried the same smell as hers.

It’s slightly oversized even for me but when I looked at Nami whose eyes joyously scanned me, I straightened my back and asked her, “I won’t lose to a color now, am I right?”

“Un... My Ruu and my favorite color...” As Nami’s voice trailed she approached me and without any hint of hesitation, climbed up on me and settled on my lap.

I immediately circled my arms around her and pulled her closer to me.

Nami’s hands crept to my cheeks, caressing it while at the same time, she held my head in place.

“Honestly, I love it whenever I learn more things about you. And... I will never get tired of it as long as it’s about you.”

Our lips inched closer to each other but even then, our eyes never faltered, we’re like two idiots staring at each other as a game, waiting until someone else loses.

Nonetheless, feeling her warm breath brushing against my face and her extremely relaxed body that seemed to be surrendering to me, I couldn’t get enough of this girl.

The thought of Tadano probably peeking from his window to check on us was already thrown to the back of my mind.

“There you go again with your tongue. Just say you love me and that’s enough.”

Nami wriggled slightly fixing her sitting position to a more comfortable one. Following that, her hands smoothly slid off my cheeks as they gradually circled to the back of my neck, tightly hugging me.

At this point, our lips had already touched but before completely indulging in our passionate kiss, I uttered the words she wanted to hear from me, filled with my affection for her.

“I love you, Nami.”

Upon hearing that, she promptly closed her eyes as she savored those words through her sense of hearing.

And while sporting her most beautiful smile, she replied, “Un. I love you too, Ruu.”

A split second later, as if a burning flame had been ignited and fueled by oil, our lips hungrily pressed against each other.

With both of our eyes closed, we used our hands to feel each other and tongues to deepen our already unbreakable bond.

I had no idea how long it lasted but once our lips separated, it only took a few seconds before we resumed it.

This is her night. Her long-awaited night.. Making it special for her was a given.
