45. Confession
“Natsumi… I have something important to tell you.”
“Eh…? Ah, yes. What is it, the important thing…?”
Natsumi had stepped a little away from me, but she turned around and ran over.
She came right up close and looked up at my face.
I placed both hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes with a serious expression.
“…………”
“Umm… what is it, Ichirou-san…?”
My heart was about to burst out.
My throat went dry and my voice wouldn’t come out.
Natsumi worriedly peered at me.
Hang in there, me. Prepare yourself…!
“N-Natsumi!”
“Y-yes!”
I forced out my voice and ended up shouting.
Natsumi jumped in surprise and stood straight, looking at me.
“Natsumi. I… I like you! I love you as a woman…! I want you to be my girlfriend.”
I struggled to say it, forcing my dry throat.
When I finished, my head went blank and everything except Natsumi disappeared from my vision.
Natsumi looked shocked for a moment, then tears started pouring down. She buried her face in her hands and cried hard.
She kept wiping her tears but they kept falling.
“Egu… hic… hic… T-that word… gussh… Is it real…? Gush… hic…”
“Yeah, it’s real. I like you, Natsumi. I’ve liked you all along.”
“Gush… hic… ueeeeee! Ichirou-san! Ichirou-san! Me too…! I’ve liked you… for a long time…!!”
Natsumi clung to my jacket and held onto my chest while she answered.
Aah… it’s okay…
The thing that was supporting my heart melted away.
“M-me too…! I’ve wanted to tell you I like you all this time…! For a long time…! I wanted you to make me your girlfriend! Uuu… uwaaaaaan…”
I gently hugged Natsumi and stroked her back softly.
I didn’t let go until she stopped crying.
After a while Natsumi calmed down, her face still buried in my chest as she spoke.
“Really… is it okay for someone like me to be Ichirou-san’s girlfriend…?”
“Of course. I can’t think of anyone but you. I can’t fall for anyone else now… Natsumi.”
“Yes… I can’t think of anyone but Ichirou-san… I like you…♪ Please make me your girlfriend…♡”
Her eyes were wet at the corners and her nose was red, but even so, the cute smile on Natsumi’s face entered my view.
I gently pressed my lips to her cute ones.
“Nn…♡ Haa…♡ Nnn…♡ Chu… kuchu…♡ Haaaa…♡ Finally… I could give Ichirou-san my first kiss…♡”
“Ah, me too… This is our first kiss.”
“Eh, that’s how it was…? Ehehehe…♡ Ichirou-san’s first time too, huh…♡ It’s wonderful that we get to do it together♡”
I thought it would be embarrassing at my age, but it seemed Natsumi was happy instead.
I’m glad I was honest.
From now on, I want to be honest and straightforward with my feelings as much as possible.
“T-by the way… since when have you liked me, Ichirou-san?♡”
“Eh, ah… I don’t know exactly. When I first saw you, I thought you were cute and your body was erotic, and if a girl like that became my girlfriend, I’d be happy. That’s how I felt.”
“Yes♡ I’m glad you said it honestly♡”
“Mhm, thanks. But as I talked to you, I noticed how cute your inner side is too, and gradually fell for you… Then at yesterday’s McDonald’s, after hearing your story… I couldn’t hold back anymore.”
“You were holding back…?”
“Of course… You’re still a middle schooler, you’re super cute, and I thought no one like that would fall for me.”
“That’s… the same for me. I thought a grown-up like Ichirou-san wouldn’t have romantic feelings for a kid like me.”
“Is that why… sorry for not telling you sooner.”
“Me too… you♡ And… since we both felt that way, it’s mutual love from that point on♡”
“Aha ha, maybe that’s how it works.”
“B-but… I’m just a plain middle schooler, right…? Is it really okay…?♡”
“Especially that part I love.”
“…………♡ My face isn’t pretty, I wear glasses, and my hair isn’t stylish…♡”
“I especially love that part.”
“~~~~♡ My body is also a mess…♡”
“I especially love that part.”
“~~~~~~~!♡ Ichirou-san, it’s always that!♡”
“Ah, I love everything about you, Natsumi. I won’t lie anymore.”
“Mo already♡ From now on I’ll probably be head over heels for Ichirou-san…♡”
“You can be head over heels as much as you want. I’ll take all of it.”
“Yes…♡ Ichirou-san…♡ I love you!”
This time Natsumi gave me a gentle kiss on the lips.
“Nn…♡ Hau♡ T-this…♡ It’s so embarrassing…♡”
Aah, one kiss and she’s this shy and cute…!
I want to carry her away right now…!
Yeah, I was planning to carry her away all night, you know, Natsumi.
Eh, can she even go home in this state and keep her mind?…
We stared at each other with embarrassed faces.
For a while we stayed silent. Then Natsumi slowly opened her mouth.
“S-so… so… th-that reminds me… we’re staying over tonight, right…?”
She grabbed my shirt tightly and slowly lowered her face.
Another long silence.
About a minute passed. A long, long silence.
Then.
“M-me too… If that’s what Ichirou-san wants… I’ll………… What? W-what are you saying!!! So…!”
As if breaking the silence, Natsumi shouted loudly.
Her hand holding my shirt was shaking.
She kept her face lowered, expression hidden.
The words after “staying over.”
They’re different from the earlier “I’ll do anything.”
We are boyfriend and girlfriend now.
So “I’ll do anything” includes sex.
Is she scared…?
What the hell am I thinking. There’s no need to think about that.
Natsumi is still 14.
I said “as a woman,” but even that I can’t treat her as an adult.
But if I ask, Natsumi will offer herself without hesitation.
Even if I refuse, Natsumi will come to me.
For me.
……… Of course, I had prepared an answer for this.
I didn’t confess with that in mind.
“Natsumi, listen. I have a little dream.”
“… A dream…?”
“Yeah, it’s the stupid dream all virgins have. Listen while laughing. If I had a girlfriend, I want to stay at a fancy hotel with a night view and do it for the first time there.”
“… Yes…”
“But when I looked it up, those hotels are insanely expensive. I can’t afford it now. So, Natsumi. I’m sorry if this comes as a shock after my confession, but please wait a little longer. So I can fulfill my dream.”
I put both hands on Natsumi’s shoulders and looked her in the eyes seriously while I spoke.
Natsumi stayed silent and looking down for a while, then slowly lifted her head… and there was her usual smile.
“Kusu… ahahaha! …Really, that’s a weird dream…♪ But… I understand. I’ll wait forever…♡”
Natsumi’s hands were no longer shaking.
She hugged me tightly, face buried in my chest.
“Thank you… Ichirou-san…♡ You’re too kind…♡ I might go crazy…♡”
“I’m already going crazy with you, Natsumi.”
“I-Ichirou-san can’t be… that crazy…♡”
“I want to lick every part of your body… or cover you with cum…”
“Nyaah!?♡ W-what are you saying, Ichirou-san…♡”
“I want to bury my face in your breasts and butt, or flood you with cum… that’s how crazy I am.”
“Hau…♡ Your desires are spilling out…♡ But… yes♡ I’ll stay by your side…♡ Go crazy as much as you want…♡”
We hugged in silence again.
Good. The best result.
There’s nothing left to regret.
“Ah, I forgot to ask. Since when have you liked me, Natsumi?”
“That’s… no need to say♡”
Natsumi placed her hand on my shoulder and looked up at me.
“It was love at first sight!♡”
She said that and stood on tiptoes, reaching up to kiss my cheek.
“Hafu…♡ It’s embarrassing…♡ But this is nice♡ Kissing Ichirou-san while standing on tiptoes…♡ Your height is just right♪”
Yeah, I loved that kiss too. It felt really endearing…!
Okay, when I get home tonight I’ll kiss Natsumi a lot…!
“B-but from now on…♡ Every chance I’ll get a kiss from Ichirou-san…♡ Anytime, anywhere…♡”
…“Tonight” doesn’t seem to be enough.
“Ah, I forgot one thing.”
“Hm? What is it?”
“About the thing I mentioned at McDonald’s yesterday. It wasn’t just thanks. There was another reason.”
“Another reason?”
“Yes♡ I was telling you how much I like Ichirou-san…♡ Like this… nchuu♡”
At the same time she jumped at me, wrapped her arms around my neck, and pressed her lips to mine in a sudden kiss.
Aah… I see.
She likes kissing my cock and talking about cum… that was actually feelings for me.
I’m really sorry for treating you like an erotic middle schooler.
But then… will I stop kissing my cock from now on?
That would be sad, but even more so happy, so no problem.
“Ah, but…♡ I also became really fond of Ichirou-san’s cock-san…♡ So I’ll keep kissing your cock a lot♡♡”
Ah, yes. As expected, Natsumi the psychic.
I’m so happy.
