After school. The classroom atmosphere was loose and relaxed, and the distant shouts of sports clubs echoed from outside the window.
On the way back down the hallway to get something I'd forgotten, my feet stopped at a familiar voice.
"Nah, it's not like I hate 'em or anything."
At the back of the classroom, by the window in the last row.
Taiga Kiryu had his chair turned halfway around, chatting lazily with his friends.
His profile, laughing as he swept back his blond hair, stood out today as always. To a friend teasing someone anyone would think looked cool, he said,
"Then why are you making that face? You've been together over a year, right?"
Taiga fell silent for a moment.
Then he shrugged.
"We're still together, and I do care about 'em. Hell, it's the longest I've ever been with anyone."
Those words eased my chest, just a little.
But the voice that followed wasn't what I expected.
"It's just..."
Taiga propped his chin on his hand on the desk.
"Sometimes I think, y'know. If I dated someone next, maybe there's someone out there who's more my match."
Taiga
"Ahh, just once, I'd love to date a bombshell like Fujiko Mine."
Laughter erupted in the classroom.
"You're the worst."
"Nah, I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
It was a light tone.
So light it almost sounded like a joke.
And that's precisely why the words were strangely vivid.
"...I'm not saying I wanna break up, okay?"
Smiling wryly at his friends' reactions, Taiga continued.
"It's just, sometimes those thoughts cross my mind."
In the shadow of the classroom doorway, I held my breath.
I felt like I'd heard something I wasn't supposed to hear.
