第20章: Comfort me.

"Wait, Shoto why are you going to sit at the front?" You asked as you raise your eyebrow at him.

"I'm not sitting beside you. You annoy me," He said with a blank tone as he entered the passenger seat at the front.

As you watch him do so, your smirk slowly disappeared from your lips. Opening the door behind Nanami's seat, you closed it without saying anything.

Nanami started driving.

Now, being in a vehicle with two quiet men really saddens the mood. It was really silent and no one bothered opening up a topic because these two men are only three to four sentence words to reply. And talking to them will really bore you. Not to mention that you felt really lonely behind the car.

You were expecting Shoto to seat beside you, but you guessed he got fed up and mad with what you said to him earlier. You broke your promise to yourself that you're going to be nicer to Shoto. But, you just couldn't help it. He was just being too cold towards you, and when that happens, you couldn't help but insult him just so he could talk to you.

At times, you wish you could just go back to the past when you and this boy didn't have this hatred towards each other.

The time when he would willingly hug you back whenever you do so.

This thought made you sigh as you look over outside to watch the passing car that goes in a different direction on the road. The sun is setting, and the dark clouds certainly cover the orange hue in the sky.

This is really sad.

Shoto couldn't help but feel guilty. He never felt this feeling before, and it was weighing heavy on his heart. The moment he looked at you in the rearview mirror inside the vehicle, his heart thumped in a hurtful way. The fact that you're not wearing any of your eyewear, he could clearly see the sadness and longing in your eyes.

It may not seem to be your character to show any type of vulnerable emotion, your eyes could show it all.

Shoto thought so.

He quietly sigh as he looked at the box of cinnamon rolls on his lap. This is one of his preferred sweet pastries, and you love this.

You also have feelings. He might've hurt your feelings when he was being harsh with his words, but he always does that, and you always... always would find a way to get back at him with your insults. But, the moment he told you off to be annoying earlier, you were silent and didn't say any insults.

His mind was spiraling with a lot of thoughts.

But it came to halt when the car stopped.

"We're here," Nanami informed as he removed his seat belt.

Shoto quietly looked back at the rearview mirror.

You were still looking out at your side of the window, not bothering to get out to even meet Fuyumi. Shoto's heart suddenly clenched. He opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated.

He didn't get to say something when Nanami opened the door for him.

"Hurry up, Kid. I want to go home and rest," The tall blonde man said in a tired voice.
