Ride
Madoka's POV
This can't be happening. Kenji's giving me a piggy back ride. He's giving me one, not even Homura senpai.
"You're pretty heavy." commented Kenji
"Are you calling me fat?" I snapped
"No, that's different." replied Kenji
"Heavy means fat, what else does it mean?!" I snapped
"You can have a lot of muscles, muscles make you heavy. I just said you were heavy that's it, nothing else." replied Kenji, "Is it offensive towards girls?"
"Muscle or not if you call a girl heavy you're implying they're fat." I growled
"Oh, sorry." replied Kenji
I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Are you sure you're going the right way?" I asked
"We are, memorized the map." he replied, "I don't have any service on my phone."
"Me neither." I replied as I checked my phone, "How long do you think it'll take?"
"With the amount I'm carrying-"
"Oi!" I snapped
"Sorry sorry, I take that back. I meant like since I'm carrying you and that I'm probably going to get tired so probably four hours." said Kenji
"Shit, we fell back down from the base of the mountain right?" I asked
"No, that's the surprising thing." replied Kenji
Kenji kept walking up cautiously on a trail that seemed very steep.
"Is it okay if I ask how much you weigh?" asked Kenji
I hit the top of his head in frustration and he yelped in pain.
"That's offensive as well." I said
"Sorry sorry." replied Kenji as he groaned in pain
"Geez you really don't know how to talk to women." I sighed in pity
Kenji just nodded and continued to walk.
"Madoka is it okay if I put my hand under your butt?" bluntly asked Kenji
"Huh?!" I gasped
"My hands keep slipping since I'm holding your legs." said Kenji
'Should I, what the fuck this is so sudden.'
My head started spinning for some reason and my heart was thumping a lot.
"Only if you're comfortable with it." said Kenji
I stayed silent and I just buried my face into his neck.
"S-sure, go ahead." I whispered
Kenji stopped walking and moved his hand down towards my butt and the closer he got the faster my heart thumped. But then Kenji stopped moving and started walking again, confusing me.
"Wait, you're not touching my butt." I said
"Of course not. I'm just using my arms like a chair for you." replied Kenji
I was kind of dumbfounded by this.
"How?" I asked
"Oh I'm just grabbing my wrist under your butt, I'm not touching your butt. Wouldn't that be considered sexual harassment?" asked Kenji
I didn't reply, for some reason I felt a flood of sadness rush into my heart.
"Only if there was no consent." I replied
Kenji nodded and kept walking but my heart was aching with this weird feeling.
"Kenji, you can touch my butt if you want to." I whispered
'What the fuck, did I just say that?'
Kenji stopped walking and I could tell he was confused.
"If your hands are tired just touch my butt, it's okay." I replied
"I uhh, don't know if I can." replied Kenji, "That's new to me."
"Kenji it's okay." I replied, "I'll allow you to."
Kenji seemed to hesitate.
"Go ahead Kenji." I pushed him on
Kenji's arm slowly moved and I felt his fingers on my butt and my heart kind of fluttered.
"Is that better?" asked Kenji
"Yea, that's a lot better." I whispered
I felt my cheeks become warm and my heart was thumping a lot. Kenji kept walking and I was so focused on his fingers digging into my butt that I didn't know that 30 minutes passed by.
"Let's take a break here." said Kenji
Kenji gently puts me down and I take a seat on the ground.
"Water?" I asked
"Sure, why are your cheeks so red?" asked Kenji
My eyes widened and I touched my cheeks.
"I-I don't know." I replied
"Are you sick as well?" asked Kenji
He suddenly touched my forehead and blood rushed into my head.
"Your face just got really hot and red." said Kenji
"I'm fine!" I snapped jerking away from him
I looked away from him and tried to calm down.
"Hey you okay?" asked Kenji
"Yea I'm fine, sorry. Here is some water." I replied
I took off my bag and took out a water bottle and handed it to him. He took it and started drinking it while looking around.
"What are you looking for?" I asked
"The map said that there's supposed to be red markings on trees somewhere around here." replied Kenji, "Stay here I'm going to look around a bit."
I nodded and watched as Kenji walked away and sighed in relief and gently bonked my head in frustration.
'What am I doing? First kiss, now this? How much more am I going to do with Kenji? Cheat? No stop thinking, I can't date him, I don't have feelings at all.'
"I'm back, I found it let's go." said Kenji
"Oh okay." I replied
Kenji got down again so I got on and once he seemed hesitant.
"Do you want me to uhh you know..." whispered Kenji
"Yea, I want it." I replied
'Fuck.'
Kenji's fingers grabbed my butt once again and my heart fluttered again. Kenji began following a trail that had red marks on the tree and it was silent throughout the ride.
"You should take a nap, there might be no place to take a nap." said Kenji
"Are you sure?" I asked, "You might get tired."
"I'll be fine, I'm more worried about you." replied Kenji
'Worried about me?'
My heart began beating really hard again and I just nuzzled my nose into his neck. Even though he was sweating he smelled really good, his scent was delightful and I loved it.
"Okay, wake me up if you're struggling." I replied
"Okay, I will." replied Kenji
I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

3 hours later
Madoka's POV
I felt someone shake me around a bit so I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. I opened my eyes and it was pretty dark, Kenji was biting down on a flashlight since he had no hands.
"Kenji, how long were you walking for?" I asked
Kenji just mumbled so I took the flashlight out of his mouth.
"3 hours." he replied, "Probably more. But look up."
I looked up and my eyes widened as I saw a beautiful aurora slowly dancing in the night sky.
"I've never seen anything like this." I whispered
"Neither have I." replied Kenji, "It feels nice to experience something new with you."
I felt like there were butterflies in my stomach causing me to tighten my hug a bit.
"Aren't you tired?" I asked
"No not really." he replied, "My arms are numb."
"That's not good though." I replied
"It's okay, we're almost there. See the light over there?" asked Kenji
I looked up to see the tip of the mountain and I saw a dim orange light with smoke coming out.
"A fire." I gasped
"Keep shining your light at them. Turn it off then on, it might be able to get their attention." said Kenji
"Okay." I replied
I began to turn on and off the flashlight towards the fire while Kenji kept walking towards the fire.
"Thanks, Kenji for helping me." I said
"No need to say it, you would have done the same to me." he replied, "You're also a friend, I can't not help you."
"Madoka chan?!" called out a voice
"Over here!" I called out
Kenji gently drops me and I limp on one leg and help the exhausted Kenji up. I saw a group of people run towards us and the first person I saw was Emiko.
"Kenji kun!" gasped Emiko
Kenji shook his arms around to loosen them but Emiko ran up to him and hugged him.
"Are you two okay? We were so worried." said Emiko
"What happened? Are you hurt?" asked Yuziki
"You look like you ran a damn marathon." said Dai
"I'm fine, Madoka's injured though." said Kenji
"Let me help you." said Chibi, "Homura san, Coach and a few others left to find you guys."
"Looks like I get to shoot the flare." said Dai
Dai had a flare gun so he aimed it up into the air and shot it emitting a ball of red light into the air.
"Oh Emiko, your beanie." said Kenji
He pulled out her beanie from his pocket and she gasped and hugged Kenji.
"Thank you so much Kenji kun." cried Emiko
"Let's get you two some food and water." said Dai
Chibi helped me and I was kind of annoyed at having another boy touch me. We got to the campsite and I took a seat on a log and they began to help us.
"I thought you two were dead." commented Dai
Kenji and I started eating but I noticed that Kenji couldn't properly hold his food, his hands were shaking uncontrollably like as if he completely wore it out. I was just about to help him but Emiko sat next to him and helped him eat his food by feeding it.
'Dammit.'
"What happened while two were alone?" asked Dai
"Shit happened, Kenji carried me all the way here." I replied
"Really? How long have you been carrying her for?" asked Chibi
"Probably for 4 hours." replied Kenji
"Holy shit, you're fucking superman." said Dai
"I guess, where's my guitar?" asked Kenji
"Over there." pointed Emiko
I saw Kenji's guitar bag next to a tent.
"Kenji! Madoka!" I heard a voice call out
I looked up to see Coach, Ayaka, Homura, Akito and a couple more ran towards us.
"Oh thank goodness both of you are okay, are any of you hurt?" asked Coach Yamoto
"Madoka hurt her ankle." replied Kenji
"I'm fine, Kenji's arms hurt, he had to carry me." I said
But suddenly Homura grabbed the collar of Kenji's jacket and lifted him up.
"What the hell did you two do while down there?" growled Homura
"Homura enough!" yelled Coach Yamoto
"Homura stop it." I called out
"Nothing, if you think I did something ask Madako." said Kenji as he smacked Homura's hands away.
"Did he do anything?" asked Homura
"No he didn't so stop." I said
"You better stay away from her." Homura said to Kenji
Kenji doesn't reply and he just turns to leave.
"Did he do anything to you?" asked Homura
"You have to calm down. All he did was carry me." I replied, "Can you at least thank him?"
"Thank him? That's the last thing I would do." said Homura
I rolled my eyes and decided to drop this topic.
"Okay everyone, it was a long day let's get some rest." said Coach Yamoto
We all gathered around the fire and Kenji played the guitar even though his hands were shaking.
"What song are you playing?" asked Emiko
"Sweet home by YONGZOO." replied Kenji
It sounded really nice, calm and peaceful almost like a song you would listen to if you miss home.
'This is going to be the longest vacation.'
