Under the Sea of Stars

⁕ A short fic about Kanji and Naoto in Samegawa Flood Plain.

⁕ For @kannao1draw ｢ Stars ｣ theme

===================

Today Yu senpai invited us to hangout at their place. I was getting pumped up because I made some cute stuff for the whole gang including Nanako. Been working on them for days and weeks now and today’s the perfect time to give it to ‘em. Ma’s been bugging me so much to stop and help around the house, tch, she WAS annoying. Anyway, I’m getting a bit nervous because I don’t know how I’m gonna hand Naoto the thing I made… kinda hard to approach her y’know.

Everything went smoothly at senpai’s house. I brought 2 watermelons for all of us to share, I’ve been dying to have some. Summer can’t be summer if there’s no watermelon, dammit! Nanako was so excited and was very happy to see us. Yosuke-senpai and Teddie were the last one to come due to their work at the Junes. They promised to bring snacks but they forgot so we’re empty handed until Yu senpai decides to go out and buy while some of us wait at their house. I was the only guy around and it was really awkward around the girls especially Rise starts her usual teasing shenanigans around Naoto.

Long story short, everyone was happy and stuff. I got up and start handing out the small but damn cute knitted straps I made for everyone. One exception is Nanako, I made a bigger rabbit plushie for her and she was so happy. Made me feel ...warm? She really loves it, her dad can’t believe I made them but I proudly explain how I’m able to make such cute stuff, leaving him confused.

“H-hey…”

I approached Naoto last, ‘twas hard! Rise keeps making faces behind her and even Yosuke senpai starts joining her. I saw Chie and Yukiko senpai cheering silently too. It made me so flustered, I was breathing hard and lost my words.

“Yes Tatsumi-kun?”

I showed her a tiny knitted Naoto strap I made on my hand, she looks surprised.

“Oh… Tatsumi-kun, this is adorable. It...it’s me, isn’t it? Ah...it is very detailed, this is very fascinating. Thank you, Tatsumi-kun.”

“MMmm...yeah…”

I nod. Just nod. Word barely came out of my mouth. I’m too shy around her and everybody else aren’t helping in any way. So, we start heading home when Rise slowly nudge me from my side.

“Good job, Moronji! She likes it.”

“Sh-shut up! Mind your own business!”

“Awww! You’re so cute when embarrassed. Thanks for the cute strap, you did well Moronji ♥”

Can’t help but look at her as she went off. *sigh*

I bought some fireworks too...I want...I want to light some together but I can’t put myself to invite her in the flood plain. Get yourself together, Kanji Tatsumi!

*sigh*

Who am I kidding, maybe I’ll just head home.

“Kanji, get up there and help me clean the shop. You’ve been lying there for a while now. Honestly, sometimes you can be a lazy child.”

“Dammit, Ma. I’m busy ok? Tch. Fine lemme bring the garbages outside.”

Ma’s so persistent and I eventually gave up and help her clean the shop. I’m beat but I don’t want to do anything else beside sleeping later. I’m getting bored so I grab the fireworks I have and head off to the flood plain inside of rotting myself inside the house.

The night sky’s really pretty tonight. There’s a good breeze throughout the town, not too hot, not too cold either. On my way to the flood plain, I felt happy all of a sudden. It felt like my heart skipped a beat, it was awful walking alone feeling like this. Maybe I was thinking about her too much.

It’s a bit dark now and as I reach the flood plains, it seems that there’s somebody….wait, somebody in the water? I can see their silhouette and it’s awfully familiar.

“Hey there ya need help…?”

“....ah?”

WHOA!

It’s her, Naoto.

What is she doing here? She looks like she’s looking for something.

“...h-hey whatcha doing here? Did you drop something on the water?”

She sheepishly turned around and went a bit quiet.

“Um…..I lost it.”

“H-huh? What is it? I’ll h-help y-you!”

“Something important…”

“Huh?”

I stood there confused. She looks troubled, as if all hope is gone.

“I apologize Tatsumi-kun….I had dropped the strap you gave me by accident.”

“Oh….don’t worry then, I’ll look for it!:

“Thank you Tatsumi-kun. I believe it’s still around this area.”

I search as much as I can. I’m worried that it’s already gone, thinking how small it is. An hour passed and she got worried.

“Tatsumi-kun….I think it’s better to stop looking for it. It’s been an hour and a half. If it’s nearby, we should’ve seen it already.”

“Uh yeah...we’ve been here long and uh, I don’t want you to g-get sick, y’know? Forget about it…”

We walked towards the grassy area, she looks tired from searching.

“I...I cannot just forget about it. It is something….important to me.”

Speechless. I was speechless. I don’t know what to say.

“Tatsumi-kun, you are…”

She stood up and under the sea of stars, shining brightly. This person I adore so much, her warm smile made me feel so happy inside.

“You are very important to me.”

There was total silence between us, I wasn’t able to say or do anything. DAMMIT! I opened my mouth but nothing came out of it. I inhale deeply and out, trying to find the courage to say ...anything.

“M-M-M-M-ME TOO! IMPORTANT...YOU ARE….SO IMPORTANT ….TO ME….”

She smiled, a really cute smile.

“D-D-D-DO YOU WANT TO LIGHT SOME F-F-FIREWORKS WITH ME?!”

- END -

Hanu’s note: This idea was one of those shower thoughts and I’m glad I stick with the main idea of Naoto’s image under the clear sea of stars where Kanji’s so dazzled by it. This was written on the spot and I barely did spellcheck and proof reading so I apologize if I’m too redundant or unable to describe actions properly.

Hope you enjoy reading my first written entry for Kannao 1draw! ★☆
