It was Christmas.
Natsume and Sasayan were quietly eating cake. They were having a party at Mi-chan's place with all their other friends. It got really loud in the past few minutes.
They had lots of fun, playing games, and chatting. But it was getting late. Sasayan looked out the window, it was pitch black outside. I probably should get going. He got up and said goodbye to his friends.
"Sasayan-kun's leaving?" It was Natsume-san.
"Yeah." he said.
"I'm walking with you then." She stood up as well.
Sasayan looked at her, surprised. Natsume-san wants to walk home with me alone?
Nah. She probably doesn't.
Seeing those wide eyes, she quickly added: "I-it's not like I really want to! Don't get any wrong ideas! It's just really dark outside."
"Ok, whatever you want to say." He chuckled.
Natsume gave him a look.
...
When they got to the intersection where they split up, they stopped.
"So, see you after the break Natsume-san!"
"Yeah..." she said quietly.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?"
"I-It's just it's really dark..."
"Oh? Natsume-san scared of the dark?" he teased.
"Sasayan-kun!" Natsume didn't like being teased.
He laughed. "Sorry."
Natsume grumbled.
...
At the end, he walked her home. She clung to his arm the whole way there.
"...Hmph! It's not like I want to!" She looked away.
"So Natsume-san is scared." It's pretty obvious.
"Huh! As if!"
He looked at her. Why don't you just admit you're scared. She's so stubborn.
They walked together in silence.
He admits he kind of felt nervous with her clinging to him.
