(Tried drawing just a few pages of the manga adaptation for this chapter… Just a simple one since I'm no manga artist! I'll post the link to the manga very soon once I'm done! And thank you for all the reviews!)
"Akashi-kun, are you okay?" Tetsuya asked, after looking at my shaking hands.
"A-ah, yeah I'm fine!" I said as I continue picking up more fries. I can't possibly tell him that I feel like touching him. He might just think I'm weird and walk off.
"Mmn, really? Your hands are shaking. Are you cold or something? Do you need a jacket? You shouldn't drink cold drinks in that case." Tetsuya blurted out. He seems to be concerned about me…
"Y-yeah! I'm fine. I'm not cold, don't worry Tetsuya, I'm not cold or anything. When I see you…" I blushed before I could finish the sentence. I can't take it anymore. "…I feel warm…"
Tetsuya seems as though he blushed, but I'm not really sure as I'm trying to avert my eyes away from him. My cheeks were too hot and I can't possibly show him this face. I covered my face with my arm for a few seconds before putting down my arm in the previous position and continued eating.
"That's good I guess. If you're cold, you can always hold my hand to feel warm, since I'm not cold at all." He replied, smiling. I opened my eyes wide, I could hardly believe he actually replied that. Then I smiled. It's good to know that Tetsuya feels the same for me…
"Then can I hold your hand now? I don't think it'll hurt holding your hand while we eat right? Or can we hold hands later?" I asked, totally forgetting about everybody around me. We are still in public after all.
Tetsuya seem to notice that we are still in public. "Ahh, later after we leave this place alright? There's too many people here…" he said as he drank his drink and looked around. I snapped out of it. "Seijuro, it's not the time for you to actually daydream alright. Wake up." I told myself before I answered, "Alright then."
After a while, we finished our food and I left the place with Tetsuya. I actually thought of holding his hands a bit later because there are still people around but suddenly his wrapped his hands around mine. I looked at him.
"Now it's better isn't it Akashi-kun."
I smiled as I gripped his hands tightly. "Yeah, it's so much better. Since I live near you, no harm holding hands all the way home right? The night is cold, I think you need to stay warm too." I blushed as I said.
"Mmn, let's go home."
Best day of my life? Ahh no, this is not enough. I don't think it is.
