Chapter 4

In the morning. Kiyotaka woke up. When he was fully awake he say that Suzune was in his arms next to him. Kiyotaka blushed deeply seeing how close he was with her. He smiled and leaned his head towards her's. He didn't want to disturb her so he let her be. Soon after, he fell asleep again. Half an hour past and Suzune woke up. She found herself wrapped around Kiyotaka's arms. She found herself close to him, a bit too close to him. She looked at him blushing bright red. She thought, 'How cute. Let me just kiss him quickly. No harm done right?' Kiyotaka started to wake up. Suzune closed her eyes and kissed him. Kiyotaka blushed being surprised that she kissed him. He held her closer to him leaving no space between them. Suzune felt warmth of another. She felt as if she moved. In that moment she opened her eyes seeing Kiyotaka blushing as he looked at her. Suzune broke the kiss blushing deeply. "W-what the hell, Ayanokōji?" She asked him as she looked away. 'How long has he been awake?! Ahhh!!! This is so embarrassing!!' She thought to herself. "Why so formal, Suzune? You're never formal to me." He chuckles with a smirk. "Sh-shut up", she felt more embarrassed. "And let me go already! You're too close to me!" She said to him. "So? I could get closer to you one day you know?" He said that in a teasing tone. Suzune's face turned completely red. 'What does he mean by that? There's no way he could get closer he's as close as it gets, right?' Suzune started to space out. 'Hey now that I think of it, how can I get closer to her? That's not possible. I'm as close as I can. Father said that there was a way to get closer to a girl than just holding her close. What way was i- now I remember! Wait but that close means getting....in..!! Did she take it the wrong way?!!' Kiyotaka let her go and he sat up next to her. "Hey Suzune?" He looked at her.

After a while she snapped back to reality. "Huh? Where's Kiyotaka?" She got up and walked around. She went to the river finding Kiyotaka there. 'Oh I found Kiyo...taka....what the hell?!!' She turned around and sat there next to a tree. 'H-he was naked wasn't he...? I only saw from the chest and up. What a relief.' She thought to herself while trying to calm down. Her heart was racing as she blushed deeply. She got up and walked to the camp site. She sat down on the ground thinking about what just happened. Kiyotaka came out from the water, and stayed there for a bit to dry up. He put his clothes on and went back to Suzune. He found her just sitting there by the fire which was burned out. "Hey Suzune?" He looked at her. "Huh? O-oh hey Ayan- I mean Kiyotaka." She said while looking at the fire nervously. "Are you okay? You don't seem like your usual self." "What? What are you talking about? I'm fine just fine. Can we go now? I really want to go home now." He nodded, "Yeah let's go, but if you want to get home early tomorrow morning we can't make any stops." He added. Suzune nodded, "I understand." "Let's go then", Kiyotaka added.

It got dark rather quickly that day. Suzune started to get sleepy as they proceeded. Kiyotaka noticed Suzune getting sleepy and went behind her. Kiyotaka remembered that Suzune couldn't stay awake for long. He noticed that when they had conversations on the phone. One minute she's talking and the next she falls asleep. "H-hey Kiyotaka?" Suzune asked in a sleepy tone. He looked in front of him, "Yes?" Suzune stopped walking and said, "So-sorry." She was going fall forward before Kiyotaka caught her. 'Silly girl', he thought to himself. He put her on his back putting her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. 'How warm', he thought to himself. He blushed by what he had just said. He shook his head and started to walk. 'She weights less than I thought.' He kept walking. While walking, Kiyotaka tripped over a rock. He fell face forward on the ground. 'Ouch', he thought to himself as he got up. Suzune started to walk up. "H-how warm", she mumbled to herself. 'Did she say something? Never mind let me just keep walking.' He said as he kept walking.
