"Hina? What's wrong?"
Even if Narumi was on the side, Nifuji answered the call calmly, as their relationship was just that of childhood friends, and considering his situation, it was better to expose everything, so that way, she had no fantasy about the relationship between them.
While they could be friends, frankly, Nifuji wouldn't recommend himself as a boyfriend, a husband, or even a lover, as he knew well that he was such a bastard, a bad type of man that one shouldn't be dating, like his cigarettes, which might cause cancer, especially if one grew on them.
Still, even if he could feel Narumi's piercing, stunned gaze, he continued to talk with Hina calmly, since even if their relationship was just nothing but a one-night stand, where he happened to be by her side when she needed to release her emotions, while he knew that it was wrong, he happened to miss her body.
"What? I can't call you if I have nothing to do?"
Even if they were parted away, and they didn't even use a video call, Nifuji could imagine Hina's pouting face. Regardless, he let out a helpless sigh inwardly before he said, "No, I was just about to call you, too."
"Huh? Really? Why not? Why do you want to call me?"
"Nothing, it's just that I am missing you, so I am thinking of calling you. Is that not okay?"
"..." Narumi.
Even if his voice was so warm and calm, it was also playful, yet Narumi's lips twitched, thinking that Nifuji had changed so much!
After all, who would think that a flat, robot-like guy could be so playful?!
Did an alien take over his body?
Or was there a certain flirty software installed on his body?!
Or, did he really fall in love?
"...." Nifuji.
If he knew what Narumi was thinking, he would stare at her in silence since among all of her guesses, one was correct, but let's think about that later.
"Ehh? You are a liar~! You never called me after that, after all~?"
Despite knowing that it was just lip service from Nifuji, Hina couldn't help but wonder whether his words were real, coming from his heart, and because of that, it gave her heart a shiver, and excitement, beating so hard, as she thought of her experience with him when he held her tightly while pounding her like an animal.
The thought of their naked, sweaty bodies entangled against each other as their tongues tied together, having sex, and doing all of the acts that she had never thought possible, making her womb tremble, as her vagina leaked a sweet, love nectar, which showed how much she couldn't wait for him.
"I am, but I am afraid to bother you."
"No, it's not. If you want to call me, then it is fine."
By then, they talked a lot, and the topic was quite random, but Nifuji also looked at the time, as he knew that talking would take a lot of time, especially when the conversation was just clicking, and because of that, even if they could talk more, he ended it. "Sorry, I am outside now, so I can't talk to you for too long."
"Ah, no, no. It's fine. I am the one who called you so suddenly, after all. I should have noticed you earlier."
"Don't say that, I am happy with your call."
"T-That's great, then..." Hina felt her heart beat so fast that she asked, "...by the way, are you free tomorrow?"
"I am."
"Then, do you want to meet up?"
"Your family won't bother us?"
"No, it's fine. I have talked to them."
"Will you stay or will you go home?"
"...can I stay?"
"Good, let's meet up tomorrow after I finish my work."
"O-Okay! Let's meet up tomorrow!"
The two made up their appointment before Nifuji hung up the call, then looked at Narumi, who had been staring at him during the call as he apologized. "I am sorry."
Yup, everything had to start with an apology, so Narumi's mood could be better.
Narumi didn't answer him immediately as she just drank her beer for a moment before she wiped her small lips. "Kuwah! So good! But, I can't forgive you, Hirotaka-dono! You have shown off in front of me, this sad woman, who had just had her heart broken! You are so cruel!"
"Here, here. Let me pour your glass with a beer. It's empty."
"The beer is from my money!" Narumi pouted, but she moved her empty glass toward him, who was about to pour her a beer to fill her glass again. "But, thank you."
"No problem."
"By the way, is that your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?" Nifuji thought for a while, wondering whether he could call Hina his girlfriend, but when he thought of their interaction, he could only say, "We're close, and we might be a step away from that relationship."
"Goddamnit! I am so jealous!"
"Jealous of what?"
"Jealous that you can have such a relationship!" Narumi seemed about to cry seriously as she leaned on the table. "All of my relationships have broken when they found out that I like BL."
"....." Nifuji.
"...have you thought of quitting BL?"
"No, I love it so much more than my boyfriend! It's my way of life! Like a martial artist, who hones his skill for his entire life for his martial art, I want to follow the path of Fujoshi (a term used to call a woman who loves BL)!"
"...." Nifuji.
"...then, have you thought about dating an otaku? He can accept your hobby, you know?"
"No way! Otaku is disgusting! I don't want to date one!"
"..."
There were many things that Nifuji wanted to say, but in the end, he just quit saying anything, yet this is how it was, right?
The appearance, and the rest, mattered.
Fortunately, Narumi was cute and beautiful despite her BL and klutz personality, so Nifuji knew that it might not be that long for her to get a boyfriend.
For men, it was a bit hard, but not impossible, but for women, even if they had many "unique" quirks, many men would chase after them.
"Haa...." Narumi let out a helpless, long sigh as she complained, "I wonder when I can get a handsome boyfriend who can accept my hobby without any judgment, and love me so much that he might become my model for BL manga."
"...." Nifuji.
"Just drink and sleep. You might be able to find him in your dreams."
"How cruel!" Narumi retorted, but she knew that Nifuji's words were right, and somehow, she couldn't help but look at him, staring at him, thinking that, slowly, his face was kind of nice.
"What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing!"
Nifuji stopped drinking as he looked at Narumi, who kept drinking before he asked, "Can you go back like that? You are going to be drunk, right?"
"It's fine! Let me get drunk! I can't sleep if I am not drunk!"
If Narumi wasn't drunk, then she was afraid that she would have insomnia and be unable to sleep!
"If you are drunk, who will take care of you?"
"You?"
As Narumi gave such an answer, the two stared at each other, as Nifuji blinked his eyes, and asked, "Do you want me to send you back to your home, or do you want to rest nearby in the area?"
"..." Narumi.
Gulp!
Yup, this guy had changed a lot!
Nifuji wasn't that nerdy kid who played with his game consoles all the time, and he had become like an eagle that soared high, watching over its prey carefully, before it launched its attack swiftly and deathly, and because of that—
After Narumi took a deep breath, she asked, "Can you send me back home?"
Yup, let's go back to her place since she wasn't sure what kind of underwear she was wearing at that moment.
