Shiori P:-

"Aoi-kun, it seems he'll be attending high school here."

 One day, while I was eating dinner, my mother suddenly told me this and I was so surprised that I dropped my chopsticks.

"...What do you mean?"

 Barely able to find the words, I asked my mother.

"That's exactly what it means. It seems Aoi-kun is going to live alone here."

"That's why I'm asking you why Aoi coming here."

"Well, I was just consulted by Aoi's parents about his wish to go to a high school far away, so I suggested that they go to the same high school that Shiori is planning to go to."

 I couldn't hide my surprise at the shocking facts that were revealed to me one after another.

"Also, you will be living on your own as soon as you start high school, so be prepared for that."

"That's not important, so let's talk about Aoi now...but I live alone!?"

"You never seem to learn how to do housework, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to force you to learn by living alone."

 My mother was speaking calmly, but I wasn't in the mood for that right now.

 I had many questions, such as why Aoi had coming here and what it meant to live alone, but I was so shocked that I was speechless.

 Of course. I'm happy to meet Aoi. And when I think about seeing that cute face again...it's so scary that I can't help but grin.

 But right now there's something else I need to ask.

"In the first place, there's no way I could live alone. I can only do a little bit of cleaning and cooking, so I'm not ready yet."

"Aoi-kun is in the next room."

"I'll do it."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

 The answer was immediate.

 I'm really worried right now.

 I have the key to Aoi's house in my hand.

 Yeah, why?

"Aoi-kun's parents gave it to me, saying that they could trust the bookmark and that I should be by Aoi-kun's side if anything ever happened."

 Apparently Aoi's parents gave it to her, but I wonder when they met.

"Apparently, they were worried about Aoi-kun and secretly followed us, so they asked us to give this spare key to Shiori."

 (Would you normally give a spare key to a childhood friend you haven't seen in years?)

 I was skeptical, but I should take whatever I can get, so I accepted the spare key. ...I'll have to be patient and not use it for anything strange.

 So on the day of my high school entrance ceremony, I was reading a book in my seat. The book was a love story about a slightly grown-up woman and a little boy living happily together. ...But there were some naughty scenes.

 I haven't told Aoi about me yet. I want to tell Aoi myself, so I asked his parents not to tell him.

 I'm going to talk to Aoi today.

 Up until now I've been a little scared to talk to him, but today is different.

 Because Aoi's seat is one behind mine.

 If you're sitting close to each other, it shouldn't be unnatural to start a conversation.

 As I was wondering what to say and how to approach him, a boy who was unusually short for his size came into the classroom.

 (Here it comes!)

 His face is bowed so I can't see it well, but there's no doubt that he is Aoi.

 My Aoi sensor is reacting, so there's no doubt about it.

 I stared at him, wanting to see his face at any cost.

"!!"

 Suddenly, our eyes met and I instinctively looked away. I only saw him for a moment, but those eyes, face, and aura were definitely Aoi's.

 When he saw Aoi's face for the first time in several years, his expression remained normal, but inside he was in agony.

 (Too cute!!)

 Yes, my childhood friend Nishimiya Aoi is so cute that it's hard to believe he's a guy.

 (What are those eyes? They're big and round and so cute! His bangs are long now and they're covering about half of his face, but that's good too! And that slightly large uniform! His hands are a little hidden and he looks like a kid wearing his parents' clothes, so cute! Aoi is definitely cuter than any idol!)

 While I was thinking about this, Aoi started walking towards me.

 (They're even cuter from the front! Eh?! Or are they going to have a fateful reunion already?! Get ready for something crazy!)

 While I was thinking about this, Aoi walked past me and sat down in her seat.

 (Maybe I haven't even noticed?)

 I felt a little sad when I realized this, but to be honest I was relieved because I wasn't sure I would be able to have a proper conversation with Aoi right now.

 While I was wondering when to start a conversation, the entrance ceremony ended, and before I knew it, I was home.

"What the hell am I doing?!"

 I had plenty of chances to talk to Aoi, but every time I tried to talk to him I was overwhelmed by how cute he was.

"If that happens, I'll go directly to your house..."

 Thinking this, I came up with a plan to use the spare key to wait in Aoi's room and surprise him, and I tried to carry it out, but I couldn't find the courage to do so, since I wasn't even able to talk to him at school, and time passed.

 Then, at 1 a.m., I used the spare key to open the front door to Aoi's house and tried to break into his bedroom.

 (No! It's not that I wanted to see Aoi's sleeping face or anything like that, I was just trying to surprise him!!)

 While making excuses for no one in particular, I walked towards the bedroom.

 (Isn't this a crime even if I do it anyway?)

 Such a thought crossed my mind, but I wanted to see Aoi's cute sleeping face... I was wrong. It was necessary to surprise Aoi, so I decided to ignore it.

 Huh? You mean you wouldn't notice someone coming into your house?

 Sweet, sweet. As sweet as a newly dating couple in a light novel.

 Since I was little, Aoi has had a hard time waking up before the time I was to wake up. Do you understand, Watson?

 In other words, Aoi wouldn't even notice if I invaded like this!

 All right! Then let's meet Aoi's cute sleeping face.

 Then I headed to the bedroom, carefully checking all the rooms.

 When I arrived at Aoi's bedroom, I found myself stroking his head.

 (Huh?! What did I do?)

 I remember arriving at the bedroom and approaching Aoi's pillow to enjoy his sleeping face, but I can't remember when I started to stroke his head.

 (What?! An hour has already passed?!)

 It was now 2am, and an hour had passed since I had broken into Aoi's room.

 I decided to leave since it would affect me tomorrow if I didn't get some sleep soon.

 …I'll just wait five more minutes before I leave.

 It didn't end in just five minutes, and by the time I got into bed the sky was beginning to lighten.
