Again I was at the literature club and as usual was being harassed by Sayori, who was taking a strange interest in what I was doing in poetry. Yuri made me my favourite that day, Earl Gray, which she never does. I continue to examine the room as I was interested in what the awkward things happening to me were about. Natsuki was deliberately reading my favourite manga, which she hates, called "Ashly Kendra Mema" and Monika never announced what we were even doing that day and so I piped up about it.
"So what's with the awkwardness today, guys?" I asked politely but in a silly way. I asked to 0 response and was shocked to watch Yuri walk out. I rushed ahead, spilling my tea in the hall. She screeches: "You idiot! You spilt well made tea!". She immediately seemed guilty and embarrassed. She apologised in a little voice, her glistening eyes making the first direct contact the whole day and we went back inside together.
Monika gave me a signal to come outside with her so I did. We met by the bubbler and she automatically lost all tension, but still trying to keep it on the hush. "It's Yuri's birthday, Sanki...She really was looking forward to you congratulating her, since, you know...she likes you…" she added quietly to our awkward previous staredown. I told Monika I would go in and tell her, but she told me not to, since it wouldn't be "genuine" to her and she knows I forgot.
We go back inside to Yuri bringing me out again and outside the hall doors to the small area outside. She slammed me against the brick wall, whispering how she doesn't care that I forgot but what the only present that she wanted was me...I was tempted but couldn't risk it so I tried to get out of her grasp, only for her to directly kiss me on the lips...Was this a dream? I didn't know what to say but we quickly snuck back in the room to get our shit out and we went to her house where her parents weren't, due to vacation.
It was now 6:47AM and Yuri was getting dressed, regretting the great night we had (or morning, hehe). We also realised it was Tuesday today, the day we had to present our poetry on romance. We had sorta swapped moods overnight, from me being worried and nervous to as chilled as the special Slurpee at the 7/11 I was getting on the drive to school and her being chill and now being nervous and quiet again. I said we should "hang" again sometime.
We got to school, tired out of our minds after the super wild night we had that Monday night before. I spoke to Yuri after her speech and said how I loved it...She barely thanked me, which was unusual, even though I understood, seeing what we did the night before (I think you could guess what :P). What happened drove around me and drove so far into the distance that I forgot what colour it was, but it seemed to just drive through Yuri, and it was messy.
She kept lashing out at Monika and falling asleep during speeches and when I would wake her up, it was a yucky sight. I felt almost as shitty as her but kept it together. I did like her back, but I'm not sure she liked me as much as she did before sleeping together. Was it the "down-low"? Was it she was just tired? I did like her though and that was for sure. I really, really did! I knew she liked me even better by the next day after we both got some much needed rest.
