Chapter 73: Request

"But... I was not lying when I said I wanted to grow closer to you." Darryl held onto my wrist as I jumped, curiously glancing over my shoulder at him.

"H-huh...?" I stared at his earnest yet anxious expression as I pondered his sentence.

"... You want to grow closer to me?" I repeated his sentence but worded it more into a question as he nodded at me.

I broke into a grin and patted his shoulder as it was the second time someone had ever said that to me. It made me feel popular. Or maybe it just stroked my ego that it just so happened to be two hot guys who said it.

"Mannn~ I was wondering why you looked so serious and asked strange questions... You just wanted to be best friends with me just like Aries."

Though Aries has just recently been upgraded to boyfriend... Ehem...

"Wha-- That's not..."

Just as Darryl was about to say something, the wolf yawned. I glanced at her and walked over to check up on her.
