Passion Vs. Desire
Cute
I froze immediately I felt a head fall on my shoulder
Something major had just happened, but I didn't know as I could only hear the sound of cheering from the audience
I didn't know how to turn to the person at my right
Some minutes went by, and I was still facing the arena, my mind completely blank
A few strands of her hair fell on my arm
Such well-defined features
She groaned softly, then looked up at me while I kept staring
Ryohei
*immediately looks away*
I was afraid she'd be creeped out by my incessant staring
Ryohei
(Oh my God, she's really cute)
Ryohei
*fiddles with her already sweaty palm*
The player I supported had already won
I was supposed to celebrate, but I was already too distracted.
Cute girl
Um... sorry about that
I turned away immediately she looked up
Ryohei
(Gah, she's way too cute)
She took sometime before sitting back
Cute girl
It's rare to see girls in places like these
There were lots of girls here who loved cheering for their idols
girls
Kyaaa~! Player-sama!
Cute girl
*chuckles slightly* I didn't mean those kind
It wasn't my first time going to watch a live e-sport tournament
But it was my first time watching in [Kyoto]
Cute girl
I always come here... with my younger brother
Cute girl
*points at a younger boy beside her*
BOY: Hi *doesn't turn to them*
Ryohei
(Why does she keep bothering with me?)
Well, I just thought, 'Isn't it my chance to try that?'
Cute girl
Are you here with someone? Maybe a family member?
Ryohei
A family member... huh? *smiles softly*
Ryohei
No, I'm in Kyoto alone
A few days back, I began my journey to Kyoto after a quarrel with my mom
Mrs. Hyodou
What do you mean by that?
Mrs. Hyodou
Why did you do that behind my back?
Mrs. Hyodou
Like you didn't support her
Ryohei
*carries her luggage and leave*
Cute girl
*sad* Oh, I'm sorry for bringing that up
Ryohei
*immediately turn to her*
Ryohei
I just wanted to complete my remaining months of study here
Ryohei
Nothing's with them
Cute girl
*beams, then...* You!
Cute girl
*hit her shoulder playfully*
I would say we really hit it off on our first meeting
We got into conversations about esports
Cute girl
Do you have a place to stay tonight?
Ryohei
*realizes* Ah! I have to book a room quickly
Ryohei
*takes out her phone*
Cute girl
*places a hand over hers*
Cute girl
Why don't you spend the night at my place?
Cute girl
My parents won't be home
My head moved even before I could think twice
Cute girl
That's great *excited*
BOY: You're bringing a friend home?
Author
Forgive me 😓😓.
This will be the last one
Ryo
Ryohei
Okay, so, I met a really cute girl in the previous chapter
Ryohei
And now, I've been invited to her place.
BOY: You're bringing a friend over?
Ryohei
*stands up and excuses herself*
Ryohei
(This is great! This is great! I've gotten a step closer to her)
It was only when I stared at my reflection in the mirror that it came to my head...
Ryohei
WHAT IF SHE'S NOT INTO GIRLS
I staggered, walking back to them
Ryohei
(Gah! I've been such an idiot! She might've just wanted to be friends)
Cute girl
Oh, you're back, uh... I never got your name *smiles*
She looked cute when she smiled
BOY: Isn't that a boys name?
Cute girl
*walks towards her and grabbed her hand*
Cute girl
I'm Kaho Igarashi
Cute girl
Is it alright if I call you Ryo?
Cute girl
*smiles, squeezing her hands softly*
I've always been sensitive about my name
Some dude
You're not a boy. Why are you answering a boys name?
Some dude
Ryohei, huh? *laughs*
Cute girl
Can I call you Ryo?
Ryohei
(Am I just too easy?) *blush*
We walked to the bus station and into the bus, still holding hands
Shun
*stares at their interlocked hands*
Shun
How long would you keep holding hands?
Kaho
Welcome to my home *beams*
Kaho
*stretches her arms like she's in a movie*
Shun
Do you play games, big sister?
Shun
Let's go play together
We kept gaming till evening when Kaho called us to eat
Shun
We'll eat later, Kaho-nee
Shun
*excitedly* Let's keep playing, Ryohei-nii
Kaho
No way!! *stands behind them*
We turned to each other, then back at her and nodded
We rushed dinner and rushed back to keep playing
Kaho
Jeez... you guys are so alike *sits beside Ryo on the couch*
Ryohei Kuroda
18+
High schooler
Loves gaming
Kaho Igarashi
18+
High schooler
Loves streaming
Shun Igarashi
13
Middle schooler
Loves gaming
"I like you"
Since Kaho sat next to me, our hands bumped during a race
I glanced at her and continued with the game
It felt like all my life's had piled up, waiting for this day
Kaho
*leans in Ryohei's arm*
Kaho
*whispers* I'm lonely
Ryohei
*all the hair on her body stood*
Ryohei
*it felt like shock went through her body*
The game controller became unsteady and fell to the ground
Ryohei
*slowly turns to her*
The words came as a surprise to me
Ryohei
(Huh? What did I just say?)
Was I really expecting anything?
I wanted to apologize immediately, but I couldn't say anything
Ryohei
*looks away, bends to pick the controller*
Kaho
It's way past your bedtime, Shun
Shun
But it's the weekend tomorrow
He tried hesitating, but finally left
It was an awkward few minutes after he left
Ryohei
(Damn, it's too late to run away from her house)
Kaho
What did you mean before?
Ryohei
(Great, she's not unto me yet. Time to brush it off like a pro!)
Ryohei
(GAH!!! I'm no pro)
Ryohei
*decides to try again*
There was sound of shuffling from the couch
Ryohei
(Of course she'd want to leave)
Ryohei
*turns towards her to apologize*
Kaho
*tucks a strand of her behind her ear*
Kaho
*press her lips against Ryo's*
Ryohei
(Did the luck also come from a past life? What's going on? What the hell's happening?)
Okay, but seriously, I didn't think about anything at all
Ryohei
*raises her hand, wraps around Kaho's waist, pulls her closer*
Thinking about what would happen next has always been saved for gaming
Thinking about the consequences of my actions were... well, not important, I guess
