First names
It was a normal night for them. Ayane, Chizu and Sawako were eating ramen for dinner as usual at Ryu's place and they were headed to his room. Chizu started to talk about ramen again.
"And then, when I tried the ramen at the old lady's place…it was SOO SALTY, Nahahahha!"
Sawako, Ayane and Chizu kept laughing until they reached the door to Ryu's room. Chizu opens the door roughly as she couldn't be bothered to knock. Ryu was there as usual, eating chips while reading comics on his bed lazily. Shouta sat on the floor beside the bed and looked up as the girls appeared behind the door.
"Yo, Ryu! We're hang out here for a bit and I wanna borrow your games,"
Ryu nodded with his poker face on and flipped his comic. Chizu grabbed his game at the table and sat down. The two girls entered as they excuse themselves into the room. Shouta's eyes met with Sawako and they blushed. Seeing this, Ayane smirked and thought of how cute and innocent they were.
"Chizu, could you get some drinks for us? I'm kinda thirsty from the ramen we ate." Ayane said to the brown haired girl.
"Ok, I'll be back in a sec" Chizu stood up and headed for the doors
"Oh, I'll help you then" Sawako got up from her seat
"It's fine, I can get it myself. You can just wait here with the rest" she replied with her usual cheery grin.
The room became silent. The only noise was Ryu eating chips and the couple fidgeting on their seats, who were obviously avoiding eye contact with one another. Ayane glanced away from her magazine at Sawako and Shouta. She flashed her evil grin and thought of a plan. It's just fun to tease people sometimes, especially the couple infront of her.
"So...how are you guys doing? Now that you're a couple I mean…"
It was a casual question for her, she didn't expect a big response or anything, knowing how they would have a slow-paced relationship.
"E-Ehh?",They were startled by Ayane's sudden question.
"Well, it's been a few weeks since you two hook up and all that. Something must have happened at least." Ayane laughed at their faces blushing shades of red.
"K-Kazehaya-kun and I are doing fine, really," Sawako waved her hand in reassurance towards her friend.
"Yeah, you don't have to worry for Kuronuma. Actually, I accompanied her home a couple of times before" Shouta scratched the back of his head thinking back of the times they walked together, side by side.
"Wait a minute, you two still call each other's last names?" Ayane stopped Shouta's thoughts, curious at their progress.
"Well,yeah. I guess we aren't really used to calling each other's first names yet"
It 's true, Shouta really did try a lot of times to call his girlfriend's first name but no matter what, the only success was the first time they had a proper conversation with each other. The year before on the flower garden at school.
"Ano ne, you guys dated for weeks already so you should at least be able to do this much" Ayane crossed her arms, slightly disappointed at their progress.
"It's fine Ayane-chan, things will work out eventually" though Sawako said that, she and Shouta couldn't help but feel depressed thinking they're at fault.
It's my fault for not trying harder…
They both thought of the same thing. But for Sawako, she didn't even tried to call him by his first name and she was reflecting on herself.
W-What if Kazehaya-kun feels disappointed in me all this time?...No!...This time, I will do my best!
Sawako gathered her courage and suddenly turned to her boyfriend, causing him to flinch as she looked him in the eyes. Her eyes shifted down to her lap, at her crumpled skirt that was clenced by her own hands.
"S-S-Sh-Sho" she was trying really hard to let out the lump in her throat.
Go Sawako! You can do it! Ayane mentally cheered on her friend. Shouta gulped and waited in anticipation, stiff in his sitting position. Even Ryu stopped eating his chips and looked at her. Sawako raised her head and stared straight at her boyfriend's eyes, trying to find courage in herself. Finally, her mouth opened and she felt ready. Everyone except for Sawako all shared the same thought.
Could she finally…?
