Senpai's P.o.V

"Morning," I yawned as I walked into the kitchen where my part—er ROOMMATE was cooking breakfast. He turned to me and smiled brightly.

"Good morning, Senpai~!" He chirped. This small conversation tended to be our normal one every morning when he wasn't rushing to leave for work. A large pause followed as the sizzling of eggs shattered the uneasy silence.

"I'll make coffee," I offered as I walked over to the machine and started a cup. Morinaga eyed me shy-ly, as if he wanted to say something. God, I hate when he does this. He can come out to me and confess that he loves me, but he can't friggin' talk to me when it seems important! My eyebrows furrowed.

Noticing my negative attitude, he started up a small conversation on how my research was going, probably hoping to lighten my mood. I calmed down a bit and honestly told him about my progress. Once more, he smiled, but it seemed fake and forced as if he wanted to hide something.

"What is it?"

"Huh? What is what?"

"Don't you want to tell me something?"

We sat down to eat. Hesitantly, he replied, "Well, ummm… I'm going back to my home town to meet up with my family and some friends today."

Did he think I'd disapprove or something? There's nothing wrong with doing that. "And…?"

"Oh…I might be late for dinner, so…"

Ah, the sign for me to eat alone…

"That's fine, go out and enjoy yourself. I'll eat out or something, so don't worry about me."

Even with that being said, the reply didn't seem to assuage his mood. Again, he smiled at me with his fake smile. Is it so hard for him to be honest and talk to me? Why's he still like this?

After breakfast, he gathered a few things and put on his shoes. As he was about to leave, he turned back to me and asked,
"Senpai, do you know what day it is?"

"Sunday…?"

He chuckled in a rather depressed tone. What? What is it? Is today important, maybe? "Why do you ask?" I questioned, hoping for an answer.

Ignoring my question, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'll see you later," Gently, he reached for my face and pushed back a few loose strands of hair that fell in front of my eyes. Our lips softly collided, but this kiss felt different from how we regularly kiss. This kiss was… sad.

My cheeks grew warm and my arms shoved him away as if they wished to intercede the feelings he was giving me. "D-don't you have someplace to be?!" I interjected as I whipped my mouth with my sleeve. With a semi-earnest smile this time, he nodded.

"Bye Senpai. And… try to remember what today is…" he sighed as the door shut behind him.

What is today? It must be important if he's going to be all depressed and emo about it. I flipped the calendar to today's date. Though nothing was written on it, the date sounded familiar. Then, the idea dawned on me; today is Morinaga's birthday.

Is that why he's upset? 'Cuz I didn't remember? Hmph. Well, I guess I should get him something… but what? I guess we could go out for dinner if he hasn't eaten by the time he gets back. But if that doesn't work? He's not very materialistic, and I can't afford anything really expensive… Besides, I don't even know what he'd like… Wait, he has told me what he's wanted before. My face reddened at the thought.

He wants me.

I—I can't give him THAT! And even if I did… isn't it more pleasurable for me? He should be the one enjoying it…right? W-wait, when I kissed him before… And when I pushed him down… He liked that, didn't he? So would he like it if I topped…..?

Reason slapped me back to reality. No fucking way am I doing THAT! I don't even know how—Ok, well maybe I do if I mirrored what Morinaga does to me… But I definitely wouldn't do that! There's got to be something else I can do that's make him happy… Something that doesn't involve… THAT…
