After finishing the dinner that Yuuko and Yua had made, we enjoyed chatting for a while with coffee in hand.
Yuuko held up a mug with both hands and blew on it to cool the drink.
“Somehow, when we were all eating together like this, I started to feel like having a sleepover.”
That’s why I said the three of us should lie down in 川 position. When I was about to say that, Yua glared at me so I hurriedly retracted my words.
Instead, I returned the question.
“Don’t you do that kind of thing with Yua?”
The two of them looked at each other with stunned expressions.
“Come to think of it…” Yua joined the conversation. “Yuuko-chan and I have never had a sleepover together.”
“That’s right~ But I used to do that a lot with my friends when I was in elementary and middle school.”
Well, when you entered high school, club activities were held even on weekends, that’s probably why.
Yuuko continued with twinkles in her eyes. “Uchi, come to stay over next time!”
“It would be nice to do that once in a while.” Yua smiled softly.
“What do girls usually do when they have a sleepover?”
Hearing my question, Yuuko tilted her head and started to think.
Incidentally, when Kazuki and Kaito stay over, we usually just talked about stupid things.
“Let’s say if Uchi stays over….” Perhaps having sorted her thoughts, Yuuko opened her mouth. “We can take a bath together since we have a big bathtub at home~”
“Hmm, let’s hear the details.”
“──Saku-kun?”
Yua’s icy gaze was immediately on me.
If she was sitting next to me, she would have definitely strangled me.
Yuuko continued.
“We’ll try out each other’s skin care products, and I’ll probably teach Uchi how to style her hair. And we’ll show each other our graduation albums!”
“I-I’m not sure about graduation albums…” Yua scratched her cheek and smiled wryly.
“And a pajama party is a must! Girls talk while eating sweets!”
Imagining the two of them in their pajamas warmed my heart.
Yuuko and Yua had barely spoken to each other when they first enrolled in the school, but now they seemed to be best friends no matter who saw them.
“What do you talk about when you’re together?”
Yua answered my question.
“Well, the usual. Things like studies, club activities, clothes, make-up, and also what kind of shenanigans Saku-kun is up to again.”
“Is that such a standard topic that has to be included?”
When I protested, the two of them looked at each other and said “Yup!” before laughing.
It’s nice.
People often said that girls’ friendships were fragile or scary, but Yuuko and Yua were like two sisters who got along well.
Unlike boys, they weren’t as blunt and casual when forming a relationship. Instead, they thought about each other and respected them before they could feel comfortable.
So gentle, tender, and warm.
“But,” said Yuuko. “When we have a sleepover, I might want to, you know, talk about someone we like.”
She looked hesitant which was unusual, glancing at the reaction from the person next to her.
Yua responded with the same gentle smile. “Isn’t that what you always do, Yuuko-chan?”
“I’m not talking about myself…”
Yua patted Yuuko on the back. “Look, Saku-kun is listening, so we’ll continue another time, okay?”
I smiled and joked. “You really keep me hanging like that? Please, send me a picture of you both in your pajamas at least!”
“Just bear with photos of Mizushino-kun and Asano-kun.”
“What a crude answer.”
As if suddenly feeling relieved, Yuuko smiled back.
“That’s right! Only me that have the privilege to see Uchi in pajamas~”
“Right~”
Seeing the two of them being excited and laughing, a selfish thought suddenly came to mind. I hope they’ll stay that way forever. I clutched that thought in my hand and then tucked them away in my pocket.
