Sayuri P.O.V
"Thank you Sayu-san, I'm really glad to have you back in my life again, and I want to say thank you again for everything you've done for me, as I pretty much do owe you for the times I relied on you. So to make up for it, how about I'll treat you to a meal later on, as I pretty much know how to cook, and I pretty much don't mind cooking for you, if it means I could repay my dept to you." After hearing what Nagisa had just said to me I instantly became super embarrassed from it all, to the point I don't think anybody has even caused me to feel this embarrassed before. "W-Wait... Wait just a minute... S-So... So your saying that... that you want to... c-cook up a meal... f-for me later on?" I asked him in response from what he suggested. But because I was super embarrassed, I couldn't stop stuttering, and I couldn't believe how embarrass Nagisa had made me.
"Look, I know it sounds embarrassing and all Sayuri, as even I'm quite embarrassed about it myself, and I was the one who suggested it in the first place. But what I suggested is actually how I want to repay you, as even if I were to tell you about my opinion of all the girls of our class, I wouldn't be satisfied by it, and would want to repay by giving you something else that's far better. That's why I want to cook you something later on, as I taught myself how to cook, and I could easily cook us both dinner whenever you want. So please accept my offer, as it's the only thing I could think of as for right now." Nagisa explained for the reason why he'd suggested that he wanted to cook me dinner, and after hearing it all of it, I finally calmed down, but was blushing from it.
"Alright... I'll come to yours later, and you can cook me something then. Just... Just don't tell anyone about this, as they'll think we're going out on a date otherwise." I told him as I turned away from him out of embarrassment, as if anyone were to find out about this, they'll definitely get the wrong idea. "You don't have to worry about it Sayu-chan, as I wasn't planning on telling anyone, nor did I have any intention to tell them anything anyway. Besides, I want it to be just us alone, so that we can get closer to one another, and I just don't want anyone getting in the way of that. So please, lets not talk about it here, as I don't want anyone to hear us, especially the girls." Nagisa replied to which I have to agree, as who knows who might be eavesdropping, and it'll be extremely bad if it were to be Kayano.
Outside of the Classroom
Third P.O.V
While both Sayuri and Nagisa were having their private conversation. Outside of the classroom, Kanzaki was there by the door eavesdropping on her two classmates after she'd overheard Nagisa's offer to Sayuri, and wanted to know what exactly is going on between them. ("What's wrong with me, and why am I even doing this? I know it's wrong to eavesdrop on people, especially your friends, so why am I so interested about Nagisa-kun cooking a meal for Sayuri-san?") Kanzaki thought as she continued to listening in what her two friends are talking about, completely unaware that she's blushing. ("I see... I didn't misheard him... He's truly going to take Sayuri-san to house, so that he could cook for her, so that he could repay everything she's done for him... But why am I so bothered by this, and what is this feeling I'm feeling?") Kanzaki told herself as she felt saddened from what she'd heart, and her heart began to ache from it as well.
Later
Nagisa's House
Sayuri P.O.V
While I was walking with Nagisa and arriving at his house, I noticed that he was still living in the very same house back when we were younger, and I felt pain because of it, because it meant I could of visited him at anytime I wanted. But I chose not to in case he might of moved away, and that I might be knocking on some random stranger's door. "So do you still like eating Chirashizushi? Because if you want, I could make that for the both of us?" Nagisa asked to which I couldn't help but giggle, as he still remembers one of my favourite dishes back when I was younger. "Sure thing Nagisa-sama, I would love to try out your special chirashizushi, as I cannot wait to try out what my precious Nagi-chan's cooking taste like." I replied back to him while also teasing him which cause him to laugh a little. "You make it sound like I'm a really good cook or something there Sayuri." Nagisa replied back to me while he'd gotten the ingredients ready. "Well, that's because it's guys like you, who girls love the most Nagi-chan. However, for me, I'm actually still embarrassed that your doing this for me, so thanks again." I replied back back to him with a warm smile, but I'm still finding Nagisa cooking for me a little embarrassing.
"So girls love guys like me..." Nagisa muttered, but I wasn't exactly sure what he had said, as I wasn't closer enough to him to hear what exactly it was. But he then turned to face me, and his face look very apologetical. "I'm sorry that your still finding this embarrassing Sayuri-san. But to tell you the truth, I've never really cooked for anyone before, besides my mum, so I'm a little embarrassed myself, especially when I'm going to be cooking for a girl to whom I'm close to." Nagisa replied softly, and I could see the blush on his face. But what surprised me the most is that he hasn't cooked for anyone besides his family, especially pudding addict Kayano.
"Wait, you've never cook for anyone before? Not even for Kayano-san or anyone else from our class?" I asked Nagisa with curiosity, as I find it strange for how he hasn't done this for anyone before, but I have my suspicions why that may be. "No, I haven't. I'd never really got the chance to, as I've never really brought anyone to my house before, as I didn't want my mum getting angry with me because of it. Another thing why I haven't is because I don't want them to see some of the photos around the house of me wearing a dress." Nagisa spoke softly, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, as I couldn't believe that Hiromi still believes that Nagisa is a girl and not a boy. So I don't blame him for why he hasn't brought anyone home yet, as he simply doesn't want his friends to laugh at him.
"Say, while we're still on topic about your mother, and how she doesn't allow you to invite people to the house. Does she know that you've reunited with me yet? As I'm pretty sure she'll get dead excited, considering how she treated me back when I was younger." I asked Nagisa to see if his mother knows that I'm now back in his life. "No she doesn't, as I haven't told her yet. As I simply don't want to rile her up, and make her eager to see you again, as I can simply see her begging me to bring you home with me." Nagisa replied softly, but it caused me to giggle, as I can totally see Hiromi begging Nagisa to bring me home with him, so that she could see me again. "I can actually see her doing that you know. But there's no doubt in my mind that she would want to see how much I've changed since she last saw me." I replied with a giggle, as I'm willing to bet that Hiromi would want to see how much more beautiful I've become. "Anyway, I'll start preparing to make our dinner, so just relax while I make it." Nagisa told me, and I did what I was told.
Later
Dinner
After while had went by, I could smell the Chirashizushi that Nagisa is making for both of us, and when a few more minutes had went by, Nagisa had called me over me over saying it's done. "Whoa, not only does your Chirashizushi smells delicious, it also looks delicious too." I told I complimented him on his cooking skills, and I think I noticed a small blush appearing on his face. "Thanks, I put my heart into it, so I hope you'll enjoy it Sayu-san." Nagisa thanked me, and I can certainly tell he has put his heart and soul into making this. So it's going to be very delicious indeed. "I could tell you have Nagi-chan, so it's going to be delicious indeed, especially when that you've made it." I replied along with a smile, and I notice his blush grew brighter. "Anyway, lets start eating it, before it gets cold shall we?" Nagisa replied, likely in order to hide his embarrassment, but he's got a point. So, I took my bowl of Chirashizushi to the kitchen table, and I waited for Nagisa to do the same so that we can eat together.
"Itadakimasu! The both of us spoke in sync, showing our gratitude for making this meal possible, and after showing our gratitude, we started eating our Chirashizushi. However, after tasting Nagisa's cooking for the very first time, my eyes widened due to how delicious it was. "Judging by the look of your face, I can tell that your enjoying it." Nagisa commented while giving me one of his cute smiles. "That's because your cooking is super delicious Nagi-chan. Heck, it's even better than mine, and to be honest, I'm quite jealous. But hey, at least I'm the first girl besides your mother to try out your cooking right?" I complimented him on cooking skills even further, as it was indeed delicious to the point I even bet could sell. "You are the first, but if you don't mind... could I try out your cooking sometime, as I would really like to try it." Nagisa replied, and before I could even speak, we both heard the front door open, and I instantly knew who it was.
"I'm home!" Once I heard the voice coming from the hallway, I instantly recognised the voice which confirmed my suspicion for who it was, and there's no point in hiding, especially when my shoes are at the door anyway. "Something smells delicious, have you've already made dinner for the-" Once Nagisa's mother had walked into the kitchen, she instantly froze in her tracks, and immediately stop talking once she saw me at the table. "Wait, Haruka-san? Is that really you?" Hiromi, Nagisa's mother had asked me, and I smiled nervously while I gave her a small wave. "Please Hiromi-san, you know I always preferred to be called by first name, but it's good to finally see you again." I replied, and before I knew it, she ran straight to me and instantly hugged me tightly.
"Oh my god, I missed you so very much Sayuri! I can't believe I can finally have you back!" Hiromi said to me as she continue to hug me tightly, and even start crying tears of joy. "Your hugging me... too tightly Hiromi-san..." I told her while I struggled to get out of her grip. "Sorry dear, I'm just so happy to finally have you back. But, does this mean that you and your family have moved back?" Hiromi asked me while she'd released me from her arms, and placed her hands on my shoulders instead. "We have, but that when I entered junior high, and the reason why we hadn't visited you guys, is because that we thought that you guys might of moved away. So I'm really sorry that I didn't try to visit you myself." I told her nervously, and I probably know what's coming next, as I expected she's going question Nagisa about when he and I reunited.
"You don't have to worry about that dear, not anymore at least. But anyway, what junior high school are you going to?" Hiromi asked me, but I knew that if I were to tell her that I'm going to a complete different junior high than Nagisa, I'm willing to bet that pull Nagisa out, and make him go to the same junior high as me. Luckily, she won't have to, as we're already going to the same school. "She's in Kunugigaoka Junior High, the same as me. But she recently got transferred into my class, and that's how we'd gotten reunited." Nagisa answered before I could, but it was for the best, as she would've asked him anyway to see when or how long he's been hiding me from her.
"That's brilliant news! Not only is my sweet Nagisa is going to the same school as Haruka-san, but they're now in the very same class, what more could a mother ask for?" Hiromi said to herself excitedly, which caused both me and Nagisa to sweatdrop, as we knew what exactly what's going through her mind right now. ("She's so obvious right now to the point I know exactly what's going through her mind. She wants me or should I say Nagisa to start dating me due to that I'm all grown up now, and that it'll mean that I could officially become her step-daughter, if Nagisa marries me. I don't think I should tell Nagisa this, as it's entirely up to him who he loves, whether it's me, whether it's Kayano-san or Kataoka-san. The choice is his, and not mine, or his mother's.") I thought as I continued to watch Nagisa's mother fantasised.
