01x09 - A Goodnight Hug

[bunniefuu]

This is Kobe!

It's so nice!

Oh man, my first time

in Kansai! I'm pumped!

All right. Next stop, my house, 'kay?

What's with those faces?

Obviously, we're gonna see the sights!

What, seriously? Isn't it hot?

What do you think, Yoi-chan?!

I'll go along with

whatever you guys decide.

All right! Sightseeing it is, then!

Yay!

Hyogo

Nankinmachi

That looks so good!

There's a panda one, too! So cute!

Wanna get it?

I'll pass. I'll wait here.

I'm not hungry either, so I'll wait, too.

Okay, then we'll be back in a bit.

I wonder what's in the panda one?

They're sure full of energy.

Man, it sure is hot.

Are you all right?

I naturally run hot,

so I can't stand this weather.

Oh

If you'd like, you can

join me under the parasol?

Does that keep you cool?

Yes, it's cool.

Huh.

Oh, you're right.

It's a bit cooler.

Th-This doesn't make it cooler!

Is he doing this on purpose?

I'm amazed that you even

brought your parasol with you.

When I stand in the sun too long,

my skin turns bright red.

You do have fair skin, Yoi-chan.

Are you sure you're okay

staying behind, Senpai?

We came all the way to Chinatown

Yeah.

I don't care what we do,

as long as I get to be with you.

And, well

I want to flirt with you more.

Hey!

We went and bought it!

Huh? What's up?

Nothing.

Hey! That's mine!

I feel like

Senpai is a little different

from his usual self today.

The clothes I bought and

the earrings, too

Maybe I should have worn them.

Maybe

The two of us should have

just come on our own.

Huh?

Anyway, just have a seat wherever.

W-Wow! This is insane!

Oh, man, amazing! Thanks for having me.

Is your boyfriend's family an oil tycoon?

Your house is amazing, but

this is really something, too.

I-I don't think so.

Is anyone hungry?

I'm about to order.

What do you guys want?

I'm hungry!

Since we have the chance,

I'd like to watch something

while we eat pizza and stuff!

A slingshot isn't going to cut it!

Millie, please wake up!

What's gonna happen?!

Oh, you want me to spoil it?

Don't you dare!

Everyone, run away!

Does anyone want something to drink?

Oh, I'm good.

Me, too.

Me, too.

Me, too. Thanks.

Yoi-chan?

Oh, I could get it my—

It's all right, I'll get it for you.

Tea okay?

Yes, sorry to trouble you.

Senpai

He sort of mentioned how he keeps

the location of his house a secret.

Was it really okay for me to ask him

to bring my friends here too?

Hey, are we really gonna end up

watching this til season two?

Wouldn't it be faster if I just

spoiled it for you all?

Like I said, don't you dare!

Hey! They're flirting!

You're so loud.

That's shameless, shameless I say!

I'm just sitting next to her.

I think I'm doing great

at containing myself.

Anyway, look, Millie's in trouble.

What?

Ah! Why is Millie the

only one with powers?!

Well, yeah

It's true

He is just sitting next to me, but

Hey.

Huh?! Oh, yes?

I

want to hang out tonight.

Just the two of us.

Okay.

I said, "Okay," without giving

it much thought, but

It'll be all right Right?

And, well

I want to flirt with you more.

N-No, that can't be it!

Besides

I don't care what we do,

as long as I get to be with you.

Just how do I put it

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

You have a new message.

Today

Are you still awake?

Are you still awake?

Are you still awake?

Are you still awake?

Are you still awake?

Y-Yes I'm still awake.

Hmm.

Excuse me.

Senpai just got out of the bath.

How about the others?

Oh, they're already asleep.

How about your friends, Senpai?

Kuwa's already asleep, but Sentaro

is playing games in the room.

I told him I was going to

shower and forced my way out.

Um, Senpai, did you have fun today?

Huh? Why d'you ask?

Well, you let my friends

come along because I asked.

But maybe our first summer break together

should have been just us, like you said.

You taking this too seriously?

Huh?

You don't have to worry

about things like that.

We won't get many chances like this,

and it's been pretty fun.

It's kinda like a school trip, y'know?

Oh I get it.

We won't be going on our school trip

or graduating in the same year

I see.

But, well, to be honest,

if it was just the two of us,

we could've flirted a bit more.

I'm telling you right now,

there will be none of that today.

Even holding hands?

Not even a hug? Are you serious?!

Yes.

You're serious

I mean, don't you think you're a little

excessive with physical contact, Senpai?

In various ways

That's because.

If you like someone, isn't it

normal to want to touch them?

Am I wrong?

Oh, gosh!

I-I won't deny that, but

are you always like this

when you date a girl?

Huh?

Must have been my imagination.

Oh!

There's pizza left over.

Why do we have to hide?!

'Cause it'll be a pain

if he goes off again.

But it doesn't mean he had to

go right from that to this

I don't know any other way.

Up until now I thought dating just

meant sticking together and making out.

I thought that's what it

meant to be in love.

But

When it comes to you, Yoi-chan,

as much as I want you and

want to get to know you more

at the same time

I also want to cherish you.

I have these conflicting feelings.

Still

I don't know any other way to express

my feelings other than by "touching,"

so sometimes I don't know what to do.

I sorta

don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

Wh-Who even is this awkward person?

I don't care what we do,

as long as I get to be with you.

It's the same feeling as

when I heard those words

This feeling that bubbles

up inside my heart

Just what do you call this feeling?

Mi amore!

Um

If you'd like

Before we leave tomorrow,

we could go someplace together.

L-Like on a date.

Sure.

Let's do it.

W-Well then, I guess we

should head to bed.

Hmm.

For tomorrow Is ten too early?

No.

Then let's meet in the living room at ten.

Hmm.

G-Good night.

What's up?

A hug.

May I please

have a goodnight hug?

Hey

You messing with me?

Besides, you're the one

who said it, didn't you?

Sayin' there'd be none of that.

I-I know.

But I feel like I kinda understand

what you were saying.

I want to cherish you

but I want to touch you.

That's why, right now,

I want to touch you, Senpai.

You're killin' me.

I know.

Good night.

Oh, man, what is this?

What am I What am I even doing?!

I can't stay calm

Just thinking about it is embarrassing

But still

Senpai's body temperature

The feel of his arms

The smell of his shampoo, his breathing

All of it, all of it, all of it,

is ruminating in my brain.

I'm losing myself.

Oh, did you just get out of the bath?

Gotta say, that was awfully long.

Who are you, Shizuka-chan?

Nah.

Come again?

Just what do you

call this feeling?

Wh-Wha, what? What? What's wrong?!

My glasses, glasses

Um

Actually, I have something I need

to talk to you guys about.

Um!

I'm sorry for being late.

It took a bit longer

than I thought, and

Hey, Yoi-chan, you seem a

bit sparkly today, yeah?

Wh-What do you mean by that?!

No, how should I put it

Nah, actually never mind.

Don't worry about it.

Anyway, let's go before it gets hot.

I actually had Nobara and Kotobuki

do a few things for me, but

I wanted a little more of

a reaction I guess.

Did Ichi leave already?

Probably.

Damn it, they're coming!

Let's go!

I don't want them to see

how you look today.

I suppose

that I'll take that as a compliment.

You can.

It's almost like he's shining.

It's making me dizzy.

Wow!

What a beautiful aquarium.

I did a little research last night.

Oh, hey.

What is it?

I would like to hold your hand.

Um!

Yes!

One vote in favor.

Koi Food

Here.

It's good, so

Oh, this is cute.

A gift for your friends?

Oh, it's for my big sis.

What, you have a big sis?

Big Sister

Oh, yes.

Do you want to see a pic?

Huh, you guys don't look much alike.

I get that a lot.

Unlike me

My big sister looks very girly,

so she's always been popular.

Uh-huh

During my first year of junior high,

there was a boy I had a

little crush on and

Hey, I wonder if Takiguchi

has a crush on you.

What are ya gonna do if

she confesses to you?

Huh?!

There's no way I can date a

girl who's taller than me.

Would've been better if it was

her big sis instead.

What?!

Where does he live?

What's his high school?

Middle school?

P-Please stop.

Elementary?

What ward, what block,

what building, what number?

It's all in the past.

Oh, I'm gonna find out.

Still

I think that's when I sort of started

to have trouble talking to guys

Oh, but I do love my big sis, so I'm

honestly happy when she gets praised.

I see now.

So, that's the cause of

your low self-esteem.

Can you show me your sis one more time?

Oh, sure.

Yeah, I like you better.

Wh-What about me?

Hmm? Well, your face?

I shouldn't have asked.

Do you have any siblings, Senpai?

I do. One older brother.

Oh.

He's a fine young man.

A steady, honest, upstanding citizen.

What? I kind of can't picture that.

He is the total opposite of me.

Dunno where he is or what

he's doing right now.

Does that mean

Some things happened

between him and his ex.

He fought with our parents, too.

Haven't heard from him since.

Well

Life's full of surprises, yeah?

He made it sound like nothing, but

that's not a common situation at all.

Why was he talking about his own family

like it was someone else's problem?

Yoi-chan!

See ya.

You should've said something.

What is it? What's wrong?

Those people you were with just now

Oh, I just picked up a

cellphone they dropped.

Uh-huh

Huh, could it be that

you're jealous?

I-It's nothing like that!

I'm heading out.

Huh? Yoi-san, I was just kiddin'!

Oh Why am I always like this?

Whoa, amazing.

Right?

Yes.

What? Still sulking?

I-I am certainly—

not sulking.

Really. It's just

I'm disgusted with myself.

Because

We were just having a serious

conversation about your family,

but then seeing you with other girls

quickly made me lose my confidence,

and on top of that, I became

completely preoccupied with myself,

Huh, wordy much?

and as if that wasn't enough, I ended

up making you have to cheer me up

I should have just admitted I was jealous.

But instead, I ended up thinking

those girls would suit you better

than someone who's putting in all her

effort just to wear a dress for once.

He was right.

I really do have low self-esteem, don't I?

Yoi-chan

Y'know how you don't look

at me as the Prince?

You've treated me as one of

the guys right from the get-go.

Well, maybe you just

didn't like me at first

But I feel like I can be myself

when I'm with you, Yoi-chan.

Laughing at stupid things.

Holding hands while we walk.

Eating gyoza, eating dango, and

talking side-by-side at night.

Seriously, just being with you is so fun.

When I saw my bro broken,

I honestly thought

"He's so lame for feeling broken

over something silly like love."

But now, I'm thinking that

love is pretty cool.

Talk about your teenage cliché, right?

I never thought I'd ever dress like this

for someone and go on a date, either.

Um

I chose these earrings,

because I thought they looked similar

to yours and we could match.

I thought that might be the case.

We should head back soon.

I

I think I'm going to end up

loving him more and more.

You could have

kissed me, y'know.
