「I’ll convey you some cake and tea.」

After ending the pizza and rooster nuggets, Miyagi stands up and I’m left alone within the room.

I look across the room and see that the mattress throughout from mine is a pipe mattress, totally different from the one I had in highschool. The bedding can be totally different. Different issues are combined in that weren’t there again then, however there are additionally many issues that moved in with Miyagi, just like the alligator on the tissue cowl, making it look like that is Miyagi’s room though it’s the primary time I’ve been in right here, and it feels snug.

I’d be completely happy to proceed to room together with her like this, however Miyagi at all times does issues that I don’t take into consideration, so I can’t predict what is going to occur subsequent.

Even as we speak, I by no means thought she would have fun my birthday.

I entice a black cat pal, and an alligator.

As I pet their heads and play with my tender fingers, I hear a voice from exterior the room say,『Sendai-san, open the door,』and I do as I’m advised. Quickly Miyagi got here inside with a tray and positioned the cake and tea on the desk.

「Is that this cheesecake?」

On the plate is a fantastically lower cake. The tight isosceles triangles point out that Miyagi didn’t lower the entire cake.

「Sure. Sendai-san, did you prefer it?」

Miyagi, sitting throughout from me, says anxiously, and with out a pause, I reply,「Sure.」

Miyagi in all probability remembered that I had purchased her a uncommon cheese cake as a celebration of the tip of the exams.

It’s a small factor, but it surely makes me completely happy.

Reality be advised, I purchased a uncommon cheesecake the day I completed my exams as a result of I assumed Miyagi would love it, and I’m not obsessive about cheesecake. If I had to decide on between shortcake and strawberry tart, I would favor shortcake, however I didn’t care whether or not the cheesecake was uncommon or baked.

However since Miyagi purchased me uncommon cheesecake because the one I believe I like, I want uncommon cheesecake at this second.

「Can I eat it?」

I ask Miyagi, holding my fork.

「You don’t should ask, simply eat.」

I reply「Itadakimasu」to the curt voice and take a chunk of the uncommon cheese cake.

The cream spreads in my mouth, mixing the acidity of lemon with the mildness of cream cheese. The crispy cookie dough goes properly with the not-too-sweet cream.

「It’s scrumptious. Thanks.」

Miyagi raised her eyebrows as if barely troubled and stated nothing.

After consuming half of the cake, I checked out Miyagi and eventually stated in a small voice,「Itadakimasu,」and commenced to convey the uncommon cheese cake to her mouth.

Contemplating the cake was chosen by Miyagi, it was a disgrace to eat it up. I wish to hold this little chunk eternally, a proof that she went out of her manner to purchase it, memorizing what she thought I would love.

Little by little, I wish to pile myself up in Miyagi and take away the capability of her reminiscence.

I would like her to suppose solely of me.

I would like her to know extra about me and I wish to know extra about Miyagi than anybody else.

「Didn’t you eat a complete cake in your birthday, Miyagi? The spherical one.」

I say one thing that she might not be shocked to listen to now.

「I don’t like spherical muffins very a lot.」

「Why? Birthdays are like spherical muffins, you realize?」

「I don’t have any good recollections of it.」

Miyagi stated in a muffled little voice and took a chunk of the cake.

Miyagi wasn’t in temper, however she didn’t appear to be in a nasty temper both.

She doesn’t speak a lot about herself and infrequently doesn’t reply clearly when requested. I don’t know if she’s going to speak, however I wish to know why Miyagi doesn’t like complete muffins very a lot.

「Can I ask you about that?」

I requested slowly and in as tender a voice as doable, and Miyagi checked out me after which dropped her gaze to the cake. Then, she stops to poke on the cake with a fork.

I can see that she isn’t positive whether or not to speak about recollections that aren’t good ones.

If she doesn’t wish to discuss it, effective.

I used to be about to open my mouth to say so when Miyagi quietly speaks up.

「…Once I was a child, my dad used to purchase me a spherical cake for my birthday, however he at all times got here house from work and I needed to eat it on my own.」

Miyagi punctuates her phrases there, takes a chunk of cake and a cup of tea. Then, with out lifting her gaze, she set free a small breath and blurted out the remainder of the phrases as if to push them out of her throat.

「I can’t eat a complete spherical cake on my own. So I needed to go away greater than half of it within the fridge, and after I did, it was nonetheless within the fridge the day after it wasn’t my birthday… I don’t prefer to see that type of factor as a result of it makes me type of unhappy.」

After the speak, which she has in all probability by no means advised anybody, Miyagi drinks her tea.

Recollections of after I was in highschool come flooding again.

I by no means noticed my household at Miyagi’s home after college, throughout summer season trip, or throughout winter trip. Miyagi, who felt lonely simply because the remainder of the entire cake was within the fridge, was at all times alone.

However now it’s totally different.

「I’ll put together a complete cake for Miyagi’s birthday.」

「…What’s that? Harassment?」

Miyagi, who had been slumped over, appears up and grimaces.

「No. Let’s eat the entire spherical cake collectively. Even when it’s a complete cake, if it’s a small cake, if we eat it collectively, it’ll be gone quickly.」

「…Are you at house on my birthday, Sendai-san?」

Miyagi asks me with a glance of disbelief, and I guarantee her that it’s apparent.

「I’m. After all I’m.」

「What if one thing comes up? What in the event you can’t end your part-time job, or your pal out of the blue calls you?」

「Kikyō-chan is in center college, you realize? Her dad and mom would get mad at me if I taught her to check till midnight. Moreover, even when a pal out of the blue calls me, I’ll give precedence to Miyagi’s birthday. So on Miyagi’s birthday, let’s eat a spherical cake collectively.」

I smiled and checked out Miyagi.

However she doesn’t reply.

「I promise.」

There isn’t a manner I’m not in the home on Miyagi’s birthday.

The long run is unsure, however I can’t lie about this promise.

So, so as to make good on my promise, I reached out to the touch Miyagi’s earring, however she shook her shoulders and ran away from my hand.

「…I don’t prefer it when individuals break their guarantees, so that you don’t should.」

The earring is to make me hold my promise, so I can’t break the promise I swore to her earring.

Miyagi made me that manner.

I’m positive Miyagi is aware of that, and we have now made guarantees to one another many instances. I assumed I had gained some credibility by persevering with to swear, however now Miyagi is afraid to make a promise to me.

I stare at Miyagi.

If I let her get away with this now, I’ll remorse it.

「It’s alright. I can’t break my promise, whether or not I swear in your earring or not. On Miyagi’s birthday, we’ll eat cake collectively.」

Absolutely it is a promise that should be made even when Miyagi doesn’t prefer it, and should be stored it doesn’t matter what.

「…Are you positive?」

Her little voice seems like she desires to imagine me.

「I’m positive. I’ll pick a scrumptious cake for you and we will eat it collectively.」

I don’t know learn how to make her imagine me, however within the kindest voice I can muster, I reply Miyagi,「Can I am going subsequent to you?」

「You don’t ask me that on a regular basis.」

Miyagi blurts out and drops her gaze.

「I assumed I ought to ask you as we speak.」

「Don’t say something out of the odd.」

Her barely low voice doesn’t reject me, and I sits subsequent to Miyagi and kisses her on the cheek.

When I attempt to contact her, her shoulders nonetheless shake.

I stroke her lips, not her ear.

「Thanks for as we speak. It was a pleasure. Can I kiss you right here?」

「Why do you ask?」

「As a result of it sounds higher to ask.」

「Should you ask me, I’ll say no.」

Lastly, the same old Miyagi returns, and I silently place my lips on hers.

It’s not softer than the cream in a uncommon cheesecake, but it surely feels that tender.

Miyagi’s hand grabs my garments.

I let go of her lips and contact them calmly once more.

After a brief kiss, I stroke her cheek and attempt to kiss her once more, however Miyagi begins speaking earlier than our lips contact.

「The birthday current. I didn’t know what Sendai-san needed, so as a substitute of a present, I used to be going to do one thing for you in the event you needed me to do one thing for you.」

「Eh, wait a minute. I’m not okay with that.」

She out of the blue stated one thing I hadn’t anticipated so rapidly, and after I checked out Miyagi, her cheeks have been a bit of pink. I believe she could also be embarrassed.

「Then what would you want?」

Miyagi tugs at my garments, as if she doesn’t intend to make me suppose slowly.

However I can’t suppose straight even when I’m rushed.

I groaned「Hmmm」and grabbed Miyagi’s hand pulling on my garments

「That implies that Miyagi listens to me, proper?」

「So long as it’s not one thing bizarre.」

「What’s bizarre in Miyagi’s normal?」

「If it have been as much as Sendai-san’s requirements, bizarre issues wouldn’t be bizarre.」

Miyagi is impolite and places all her vitality into our joined fingers. I utilized the identical drive in return, and shortly the related fingers grew to become pliant and tender.

As I held fingers, I gathered my coherent ideas and advised Miyagi.

「Then you need to have fun subsequent yr’s birthday, too.」

「Is that what you need?」

「I’ll say the identical factor subsequent yr and the yr after and for the remainder of my life, so hold making it occur.」

If I can get a birthday current, I would like the identical future as as we speak.

In the future of the yr.

I wish to reserve time for Miyagi.

「Though we’re solely roommates whereas we’re in school?」

「We don’t should be roommates to have fun a birthday.」

「Sure, however there are such a lot of individuals celebrating Sendai-san’s birthday. I don’t suppose I’ve to.」

「I wish to congratulate Miyagi for me.」

I’m completely happy to listen to the phrase “congratulations” from anybody.

However I’m happiest when it’s stated by Miyagi.

「…If that’s okay with Sendai-san, then effective.」

Miyagi blurted out and squeezed my hand as if to let me know that what she had simply stated was a “promise.”

When one’s want is fulfilled, one turns into extravagant.

I add a brand new hope.

「Additionally, inform me about your self, Miyagi. I wish to know extra about you.」

「You’ve already heard one factor I stated, Sendai-san.」

「Miyagi, you didn’t say earlier that there was just one different to the reward, so I’ll ask for the second.」

「Unfair.」

「It’s effective. It’s not tough.」

「It might not be tough, however what’ll I let you know?」

Miyagi says, as if she has given up.

「It doesn’t matter what it was, I believe. Like your favourite colour or your favourite meals. That type of regular story that anybody would inform. For instance, you realize, we went to the aquarium and also you fell in love with the penguins.」

「Is that what you’re speaking about, Sendai-san?」

「Sure. I had enjoyable on the aquarium, I appreciated the penguins, and I believe I ought to have purchased a stuffed animal. I wish to speak extra about this sort of nonsense with you, Miyagi. A bit bit any more. It’s straightforward, isn’t it?」

We have now spent a lot time collectively, however phrases are too quick.

We should always speak extra about foolish issues that everybody does.

The aquarium was a terrific reminiscence and I want I had purchased a stuffed animal as a reminder of it.

I haven’t even advised her that she will be able to communicate up that rapidly.

One of many issues I wish to know is the dusky recollections that lie deep in her coronary heart, however there are numerous different issues I would like to speak about.

「Is that one thing I can discuss, Sendai-san?」

「After all.」

「Then, I’ll speak.」

Miyagi stated in a tender voice.
