Diet
"Taichi-!"
"Huh? Sora! What is it?"
"Taichi, don't you notice anything different about me today?"
"…..Umm.."
"Don't be so thick, my hair-"
"…You're fatter?"
….Fatter?...
It was as if an anvil landed on my head with a thud. I styled my hair in a way that I thought it turned out to be quite all right today, so I even waited until Taichi's soccer practice to show him. And he noticed that some part of my looks changed, all right. And it wasn't my hair.
"Yeah, you got fat."
"Wha.. what do you mean? and where?"
Jeez, he still sucks at knowing what to say and what not to say. I wonder when this habit will go away? The 'fat' attack was a critical hit.
"Your jaw line is round."
"Aack- Really?"
"Yeah, and your waist is thicker? Heh heh heh"
"Ta.. Taichi!"
And the guy grabs my waist naturally. "You… you!" He swiftly fled as I tried to land a blow on his head with my bag. He ran to the soccer field yelling, "Why don't you go on a diet?" I gulped and nervously pinched my waist…
Aack I really do need to go on a diet! Taking a break from soccer was a bad decision-! With my fingers still in place, I looked at the soccer field to see Taichi laughing his head off. Then he yelled, "Don't worry, you're not fat! Don't go on a diet!"
…You idiot. Everyone will hear if you're yelling out loud like that. I felt my cheeks go hot. Then I looked at the sky. How could a girl not fix a flaw that her boyfriend pointed out? Sigh. I should go on a diet starting from today…
"You're not eating?"
"Nope"
"It's delicious."
"Yep."
"Even if I bought it?"
"I know you bought it! So eat it yourself!"
"Don't throw a fit," laughed Taichi.
Then he started to eat that parfait right in front of me. I stared, drooling as he started to put chewed on the toast they gave him for an extra. And as I looked at him, I noticed that Taichi was a bit slimmer than the other guys. Like a.. trained but not bulky, and flawless body line? Damn it, what kind of girl in the world is jealous of her boyfriend? ..God, I'm hungry…
"Sora."
"What?"
He put some cream on the other piece of toast and pointed it at me. "Eat." But I'm on a diet… When I shook my head and tried to say no Taichi interrupted me. "I like round Sora, she's cute too."
"..."
At that comment I took a big bite out of the toast. I'm not gonna care if I get fat! Don't you dare say anything if I swell up like a balloon! And as if Taichi read my mind, he chuckled and nodded his head.
