Boku Dake ga Inai Machi: Crossed Realities
Chapter 3: Shenanigans
After trudging through blizzard-like weather, the two arrive at Satoru's house. Satoru went up the stairs and unlocked the door. Airi followed close behind him, eager to escape the icy prison outside. Once they were inside, they both put down their things and got comfortable, finally reaching some place warm. "Before we begin, I'll make us some tea." Satoru offered. Airi was under the warm kotatsu, almost asleep. "That would be nice." She sighed.
About five minutes later, Satoru returned from the kitchen with two cups and a heated kettle. It wasn't long before the two of them were sipping tea while warming up under the comfy kotatsu. Airi began to doze off and dropped her cup. She ended up spilling the tea on both herself and her clothes. "Oh no, my clothes are soaked now. And I didn't bring anything to change into, either." She mumbled. Satoru sighed as he got up from the table, "I'll see if I can find you something to wear. Meanwhile, you should go wash up. The bathroom is down the hall on the left." Airi yawned sleepily, stood up, and headed off towards the bathroom.
Having found something decent for Airi to wear, Satoru suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Airi about the faulty latch on the tub's door. He headed towards the bathroom with the clothes he picked out and reached for the handle. I am doing the right thing…right? He asked himself. Letting out a small sigh, he slid open the door and sat the clothes on a nearby counter. "Airi, the tub has a faulty latch, so be sure t-," Satoru couldn't finish his sentence. One moment, he was getting clothes for Airi; the next, he was almost entranced with her smooth, curvy figure. Satoru averted his gaze very slowly, burning the image of Airi in her lingerie into his mind. Somehow, he was able to draw his attention away from her attractive features, to her face; which could have been mistaken for a tomato.
"W-w-what are you doing in here?!" She yelled. Before Satoru had a chance to say anything, bottles of shower gel and shampoo were flying towards him. "Are you stupid?! Didn't anyone teach you to knock first?!" Airi threw as many questions as she did bottles. Managing to escape and shut the door behind him, Satoru immediately began apologizing while trying to catch his breath. "I'm sorry, ok?! I had remembered that I forgot to tell you about the faulty latch on the tub door! I didn't see anything, I swear!" Hearing this, Airi seemed to have calmed down a bit, "You saw nothing?" "Of course, I saw everything, how could I not when something that beautiful is right in front of me?" Satoru thought. Realizing he said that out loud, he began begging and pleading for mercy. So much for talking things through, he thought.
After the whole… sightseeing situation, Airi was asleep under the kotatsu and Satoru was sitting on the sofa with an ice pack on his face. Airi hits a lot harder than I imagined. We should probably discuss our other matter later. Soon after, Satoru drifted into slumber, too. However, both Airi and Satoru are gravely unprepared for what is soon to come…
Here is the end of chapter 3. I'll leave it at a cliffhanger so you can leave comments/reviews about what you think will happen next. I will continue working on this series and I hope you all keep on reading. Look forward to the next chapter!
