Sugar • Sugawara Kōshi ✔

｢sugar • 10｣

"Are you sure this is okay?" The 17-year-old girl asks.

Sugawara gives her a nod.

Here he was, sitting on the steps that lead downstairs to the gym.

What was he doing there during club?

Oh yes. He was with [Name].

He would hurry up every day, and ace his tosses until Daichi decides to give him a break.

Oh boy. That was what he waited for.

He would run as fast as his legs could carry him, to the staircase.

And there, sitting on one of the steps would be her.

[Name] was his life, and he would let her know that sometime.

"It's so quiet here." The girl says. The two look at the hallway. There is no trace of people, not even a single noise from a footstep.

"I'm surprised you can't hear my heart beating. I can hear it inside, and it's really loud."

[Name]'s eyes go wide.

"And I thought I was the only one!" She laughs a little, placing a hand on her chest.

It was true. The two were slowly, but surely getting used to the irrational beating of their hearts in each other's' presence.

Oh lord. Sugawara could not hold in the overwhelming feeling that was building up inside him when he saw the smile on his favorite face.

"[Name]-san, can I kiss you?" The 18-year-old asks suddenly, but hopefully.

Of course, his face was red, but he couldn't take it anymore. The bliss was killing him.

He needed more.

More.

"O-Okay." The girl stutters.

The boy could not believe his ears. He now had the permission, and he promised himself that he would not chicken out.

No way.

Nuh uh.

Sugawara scoots closer to the girl. He was sitting one step below her and was at the same level as her.

With trembling hands, he grips her shoulders, and he can feel the way she is fidgeting as well.

The girl closes her eyes, and her face is a light shade of pink.

It wasn't a lie to say that he had never seen something that made his heart weaker, than her face.

With a clenched heart, the boy leans in, and places a soft, and tender kiss on [Name]'s lips.

Oh boy, he felt like he'd explode.

But he was happy.

In fact, that was the happiest thing he's ever done.

And he wanted to do it again.

To be honest, he regretted moving away too fast.

But he was sure his face was redder than the girl's face now.

"I..." The girl starts to say something, and Sugawara opens his eyes.

"I was a bit nervous." She says, and her face is filled with something Sugawara can't place a finger on.

"Me too." He whispers, and the two of them break into a grin together.

"NOW, IF YOU'RE DONE GOOFING AROUND WITH [F/N], THEN GET BACK HERE, SUGA!" Daichi yells and the two stand up immediately.

"Daichi that's so mean!" [Name] whines in embarrassment. Sugawara covers his face with a hand and walks two steps down.

"I'll.... I'll see you... after club?"

"After club. I'll wait for you."

Sugawara gives her a nod and runs back to the gym.

Of course, Daichi wouldn't say anything when his teammates asked him why the silver-head was smiling so hard.

But it was definitely a sight to see when Sugawara pumped his hands in the air.

"YES!"
