Chapter 7
Quivering
Makoto lay in his bed, his mind filled with yesterday. He pictured what happened at Sekai's house and blushed at the thought. He stood up and rubbed his eyes. He could only see Sekai's nude body in his mind. He dressed and prepared for school. When he arrived at the train station, he pulled his phone out, and saw he had a message from Setsuna. He pulled the text up and it said 'Where did you go?' He closed his phone and pulled out headphones and put them on.
As soon as he put them on he heard a voice behind him.
"Good morning Makoto." Setsuna said as she wrapped her arm around his.
Makoto pulled his arm away and took off his headphones. Setsuna displayed confusion on her face, but she changed her expression to cheerful smile. Makoto sighed and looked away. His thoughts wavered back and forth between Setsuna and Sekai.
Setsuna thought about what was different with Makoto, but shrugged it off and paid attention to him. The train pulled up at a quick speed and Setsuna and Makoto hopped into the car they always take. Makoto sat down and closed his eyes trying to understand his feelings. Setsuna stared at his face, and she planted a kiss on his lips.
His eyes widened as they opened and he stared into her eyes as she broke the kiss.
"Makoto… I love you" Setsuna said abruptly ending the silence between them.
"Yeah, me too" Makoto said, his voice wavering with each word.
When the train stopped they got off and left for the school building. When they arrived Setsuna left to talk with Hikari and Nanami. Makoto walked up to his seat. He looked over at the empty space next to him and saw that Sekai wasn't at school yet.
When he was pulling out his notebook, he noticed Sekai walk in with a cheery face. She approached Setsuna and they made small talk and she eventually apologized for yesterday. She walked up towards her desk and took her seat. She looked at Makoto and winked. Makoto blushed at what she was referencing. She pulled out her notebook and wrote a note in it.
"Thanks for yesterday, you really cheered me up"
Makoto wrote back after skimming over the note.
"I don't know if I should be with Setsuna anymore… I kind of want to be with you now."
Sekai gasped in response to reading the note. Her face exploded in happiness, and she almost cried a tear of joy.
"Really?!"
"I don't know… I'm starting to like you, but I still like Setsuna."
The two stopped with the notes and stared into each other's eyes. Sekai's face was radiating happiness and Makoto could not help but smile back at her. At the end of school Makoto walked towards the train station alone. He was going to stay at home and find out what his true feelings are.
When he opened the door, he was shocked to see his mother scurrying about in the kitchen. She paid no attention to him at all and he just walked to his room. He put his bag down and laid in his bed. He closed his eyes and saw two nude women before him. Sekai and Setsuna, he couldn't decide which one he wanted more or if he even loved them at all.
