I end my make-up and stare at my ears within the mirror.

Those I gave Miyagi for her birthday.

However they’re additionally those I needed.

A pair of commemorative piercings opened by Miyagi on her birthday.

It has one on the correct and one on the left.

The highschool days appear a great distance off once we mentioned it was towards the principles to create scars that may keep on our physique ceaselessly.

Two days after the piercing was made.

The little decoration that Miyagi placed on me is far more at dwelling with me than I assumed it could be. It made my emotions for Miyagi stronger and extra sure, and I by no means get uninterested in seeing it time and again.

I contact the piercing.

It feels not so totally different from once I ran my fingers over Miyagi’s ear, and I let loose a small breath.

「Simply in case, we two have the identical.」

If I informed Miyagi, she wouldn’t prefer it, however my earrings are the identical as those Miyagi wore prior to now. Today she solely wears earrings within the form of plumeria flowers that I gave her, nevertheless it’s heartening to know that she as soon as wore the identical ones I did.

What did Miyagi do with the primary piercing I put in her ear?

Is it tucked away someplace or did she throw it away?

I need to ask, however I can’t as a result of I don’t need to be informed that she have thrown it away.

I wouldn’t throw away these earrings. I may put on it on a regular basis. However since I’ve gone via the difficulty of getting pierced, I’d additionally prefer to put on different piercings.

For instance, the earrings Miyagi selected to put on.

「I suppose it’s not possible.」

I let loose one sigh.

It’s onerous sufficient simply to make a chance for the 2 of us to exit collectively, however to make her select a pair of earrings appears as tough as instructing a stray cat “play home.” By the point a month or so passes, when the piercing gap is steady and the day comes when Miyagi can chew on my ear, I doubt that the stray cat can have become an obedient canine, so if she desires to purchase a brand new piercing, she’ll have to decide on one herself.

Properly, it’s solely been two days since I acquired my piercings.

If she does purchase new earrings, I received’t rush her to purchase them.

For now, I’ll simply be completely happy to have my new treasures. We will take into consideration what is going to occur in a month’s time. Possibly a miracle will occur, and by then Miyagi will likely be a stray cat taking part in along with her palms.

I tug at my earlobes, embellished with pierced ears, then take a look at my watch.

It’s too early to go to varsity.

I determine to go away the home after having one thing to drink and open the door to my room. Once I go to the frequent space, Miyagi is there.

「You’re already going?」

Once I known as out to her, Miyagi checked out me.

I’ve felt Miyagi’s gaze in my ear ever since I had my earrings pierced, in addition to once we had been consuming. Miyagi has been watching me for not a number of hours for the reason that night time of my birthday.

「Yeah.」

They don’t look misplaced.

Miyagi stares unreservedly at my earrings.

I didn’t understand there was such an possibility for piercing.

Punching holes within the ears.

That’s all it takes to take the attention of Miyagi.

I don’t simply need the eyes, I need one thing else as effectively. If I can draw Miyagi to me by providing any a part of my physique, I’ll supply as a lot as I can. I’d give something if Miyagi desires it.

If I ask her what she desires, will Miyagi give me a solution?

Trapped in ideas that aren’t wholesome, I’m introduced again to actuality by the sound of Miyagi’s voice.

「Sendai-san, are you continue to not going?」

I exhale a small breath, dismayed at myself for considering that there was nothing else I may supply.

I’m too encroached upon by Miyagi. Miyagi is taking over an excessive amount of of my life, and I believe every part is about to be painted over with Miyagi. If Miyagi lined every part that was left over of who I’m, I’d be just a little afraid of the place I’d be within me.

「Sendai-san?」

Miyagi calls me in silence.

I can’t go on ceaselessly with out answering a query that could possibly be answered instantly. I take a look at Miyagi and smile.

「I’m not going but. I’m going to coat you the lipstick, Miyagi.」

Her lips are usually not used to the lipstick I gave her.

「You don’t must coat. I’m going to go now.」

Miyagi, maybe not liking my reply, makes a blatantly disgusted face.

「You received’t use the lipstick?」

「It doesn’t must be now for me to make use of it. Apart from, I used it as soon as the day I acquired it.」

「Use it on a regular basis.」

I’m glad that Miyagi is utilizing what I gave her.

I hope she is going to use the lipstick simply because the stuffed black cat is at all times in her room.

「I don’t need to.」

「Properly, if I say, “I’ll do something for you, Miyagi,” will you let me apply your lipstick?」

It’s a greater opinion than making an attempt to determine what a part of the physique to supply up, and I hope she truly use the lip I gave her.

「…What do you imply by “something”?」

「Something inside the bounds of frequent sense.」

Miyagi appears at me with a tough face.

There is no such thing as a want to consider it, as a result of making use of lipstick shouldn’t be an enormous deal. There’s a discrepancy between my frequent sense and Miyagi’s, however there is no such thing as a means I wouldn’t comply with Miyagi’s, so the phrase “frequent sense” shouldn’t be an issue. And but, Miyagi considered it for a full minute earlier than answering.

「Sendai-san, you higher preserve that promise.」

「I’ll take excellent care of that, convey me the lipstick.」

Once I say this, Miyagi appears twice as disgusted as earlier than and pulls out a lip from the bag she was carrying and palms it to me.

It’s not left within the room.

I swallow the phrases that nearly come out of my mouth.

Possibly if I mentioned that, Miyagi would take lipstick away from me and go to varsity.

「So what does Miyagi need me to do?」

「I haven’t determined but. Can it wait till later?」

「Okay. Then, shut your eyes.」

I say quietly, and Miyagi closes her eyes with out defying me.

She doesn’t have to shut her eyes to use lipstick, however she desires me to shut them. I nonetheless needed to style the tip of her lips, so I attempted to kiss her extra deeply, however she kicked me within the leg. I had no selection however to drag away, and Miyagi kicked my leg once more.

「I assumed you’re simply going to coat the lipstick.」

「I forgot.」

I smiled and eliminated the cap from the lipstick. Then, Miyagi closes her eyes as soon as extra as I introduced it nearer with its candy aroma.

Slowly and punctiliously.

I coloration her mushy lips.

「Okay. It’s executed.」

A scrumptious scent was coming from Miyagi.

I need to kiss her once more, however I didn’t, as a result of if I do, she received’t let me apply the lipstick anymore.

「…Thanks. I ought to go now.」

Once I mentioned that, Miyagi took the lipstick from my hand and put it in her bag. Then, as she was about to go away the home with out me, I grabbed Miyagi’s arm.

「Wait a minute. I’ll include you.」

「I don’t need to. Go after me.」

「Eh, await me.」

「I’m not ready.」

Miyagi shakes off my hand and leaves the frequent house, and I rush again to my room. I seize my bag and make a brief run to the entrance door. Once I placed on my footwear and open the door, I see Miyagi and involuntarily let loose a “wah” sound.

「You waited for me?」

「I didn’t.」

Miyagi regarded me within the ear after which began to stroll away. I lock the door after which comply with Miyagi.
