…Huh…?
Ehhhhh?!
I-Is this what they call… a kiss on the lips…?!
I didn’t know what to do next, having never experienced anything like this before…
Sh-Shun! What should I do after this?! I quickly looked at Shun, sending him a pleading look for help.
“Well, you know, I don’t really get the whole ‘what’s yours is mine’ thing, but friends sometimes share drinks, right? Even during club activities, there are times when you share drinks with someone who doesn’t have enough.”
Ah… Is that so…?
M-Maybe I was overthinking it…?
I felt a bit relieved by Shun’s words… and I put my lips on the straw that Yamato had kissed.
For some reason, that strawberry milk tasted sweeter than usual…

On the way back home that day.
Just like yesterday, Yamato and I decided to go home together. Yamato was sitting behind me on the bike, as usual.
Today, I couldn’t afford to take it too slowly because I had a part-time job. It seemed like Yamato understood that.
Yamato commutes to high school by train. As I was once again accompanying him to the station on my bike, I decided to speak up to him.
“Hey… Yamato?”
“Hmm? What is it? The breeze feels nice.”
“N-no, it’s not about that…”
There was something I had to tell him, no matter what…
“…I’m sorry about lunch…”
“Huh? Yuto, did you do something wrong?”
“…Skipping lunch… was actually a lie, wasn’t it…?”

“I… I didn’t have lunch either…”
“…Yuto, you…”
“So I’m sorry… I thought we could share the same pain, but I ended up saying something careless in front of Shun…”
Everyone must have things they want to hide or don’t want to communicate. Even if Yamato experienced the same pain, he should understand Yuto’s feelings…
I had become too caught up in becoming friends…
As Yamato listened to my feelings, he leaned his head against my back and poured out his own feelings to me…
“…You’re really too kind… But Yuto is right… Honestly, the idea of eating together and laughing was just a longing, something that could never come true…”
“…Every time you left food for me so many times… I wish I could have spoken up… But I’m a coward and a wimp; I couldn’t even speak to you…”
“…Yamato…”
“But you know, today’s lunch was really fun… Ah, so this is it… This is what I dreamed of, laughing while eating lunch together… You showed me that again…”
“…So you don’t need to apologize at all…”
*Screech!*
I slowly stopped the bike right there…
Yamato seemed surprised by my actions and asked me what’s wrong, but tears were flowing uncontrollably from my eyes…
“Hey, Yuto? Are you okay…?”
“S-sniff… Y-yeah…”
“Huh…?”
“I… I thought I had hurt Yamato, but… it’s not like that… Somehow, I feel really relieved…”
“Yuto…”
“Heheh, I’m sorry for crying! I can’t ride the bike properly if I’m crying, you know…!”
It seems that tears of joy and relief welled up within me. Unable to see clearly, I rubbed my eyes with my hands when suddenly…
I felt a tremendous warmth enveloping my head… Yes, it was the gentle warmth emanating from Yamato’s large hand…
“Yuto… Thank you…?”
I was briefly enveloped in that gentleness with Yamato’s words and comforting warmth…
* * *
Since I received warmth from Yamato, things have been like this.
Since that day, Yamato has started dragging Shun and me into buying battles.
Both of them are tall and have more stamina than me.
Yes, as usual, I’m the one watching over them from behind.
“Shun, you’re the strawberry guy.”
“Sure thing! Then Yamato, you’re the one with three tonkatsu sandwiches!”
As time passed, Shun and Yamato started calling each other by their names.
“Both of you! I’m counting on you, okay?”
“Yeah, leave it to us!”
Both of them… Even their rallying cries matched… They seem to be in perfect sync…!! It makes me so happy to see them like this…?
Yamato started joining us for lunch, and our break times became filled with laughter and enjoyment…
“Who was it? Who said they wouldn’t eat lunch?”
“Who was it? Did someone say something like that?”
“I didn’t hear anything like that!”
“What?! Yuto! You betrayed us!”
Despite all the yelling, those were the most enjoyable days…
Also, Yamato’s [What’s yours is mine] attitude still continues.
Lately, among the boys, it’s been quietly trendy to wear Dakaru pins in their hair, so I bought one from the 100-yen store and started wearing it too.
While preparing for the next class during break time, Yamato casually turned around and snatched my Dakaru pin away…
“Hey! Yamato! W-what are you doing…!”
“Oh… so this pin is trendy…”
“C-could you please give it back…!”
My plea didn’t reach him at that moment… Yamato skillfully put the Dakaru pin on, just like a hedgehog, and said…
“What’s yours is mine, right?”
“Ugh… fine…!”
Then, there was a time during lunch when I was nibbling on yakisoba bread, and he stared at it and asked for a bite…
I… Yakisoba bread is also one of my favorite foods… No, no, no! I can’t let him have this…!
I shook my head vigorously… But with Yamato’s words… He ended up taking my yakisoba bread…
In exchange, I had to eat the yakisoba bread that Yamato was eating, so I forgave him…
After seeing that, Shun teased us, “Are you guys lovers or something?”… I was so flustered that I accidentally dropped the sausage on the floor…
Ugh!! Shun is such an idiot!!
But even so, when my things became his, I couldn’t help but feel happy seeing the smile he showed, not really objecting.
We had such enjoyable and lively days, and before we knew it, it was June, and the season for summer preparations had begun.
I really think Yamato and Yuto react to each other…will they really trigger each other 🫣
Yuto sure is a strong omega tho he’s the one pedaling the bike while Yamato is the passenger princess XD
