[The Typical Daydreamer]

Curling my lips a bit, I held my breath for a moment.
Before I knew it, I'd hurried from behind the counter and went over to the red-head.
"Outside," I ordered. "Now."
I spun him around and pushed him out of the store, closing the door behind me as we both were outside.

XXXI was surprised by his sudden move and the tone of his voice that without a second thought, I did as I was told as he pushed me out the shop.

Taking this idiot by the collar of his shirt now, I brought him over to an alleyway that was right beside the store.
Me doing something like this... was it normal?
Whatever the reason, I still found myself so flourished and overwhelmed that it was almost unbearable.
"You... I bet you came back on purpose.."
Even though my tone was probably a little too edgy, it was hard to hold back the truth any longer.
I was upset, more angry than upset.
"Falling asleep like that and expect me not notice you eventually... you really do have some nerve to bother people for your own entertainment.."

XXXThe expression and force from the fragile young man began to frighten me a bit. I held my hands up in the air, "N-no I swear, I was being chased and wounded up at the bookstore and I fell asleep by accident!" I spoke, "I was just going to buy a book and I didn't realize you'd returned! Honest!"

"What if you brought those people here!" I exclaimed. "If they were to ransack the place that the owner worked so hard to keep in order, I-!"
Holding my tongue, I swallowed hard.
"...There are other book stores in Tokyo that are bigger than this one. Find business some place else."
I began to walk away but my feet were too heavy to carry.
"...But I'm sure you'd still come back, wouldn't you? I'd just wonder why.."

XXXI looked to the ground as my hands rested next to my waists. There was a stabbing pain in my heart, and a lump in my throat. Closing my eyes, I sighed. I couldn't speak anymore, I'm afraid that I would...-- will I? I fell back on the wall, leaning on it. Everything he said could possibly happen, and it would be my fault, I'd even trouble them. The shadow of my hair covered my eyes, as they stared vacantly at a certain spot. "..."

"Ah-" Quickly covering my mouth, I awoke to my senses, causing me to shudder in realization.
'That was... terrible.'
But how could I counter this?
I'd already expressed my anger, but I felt like it was too much.
Glancing back over to the idiot, absolute pain and loneliness shrouded heavily around him.
'That was too much...'
Biting onto my lower lip, my nostrils managed to exhale deeply as a sigh and I turned around.
I couldn't let my pride get in the way again,not with this guy.
"..."
Standing completely still in front of him, I lowered my head to follow where my eyes fell where his also did.
"...Sorry," I whispered to him, then speaking up a little.
"You... must have been through a whole lot to be who you are, and... I don't have a right to change that. So... you can go where you want... I just didn't know what to think."
I reached up and lightly touched the top of his red, unkempt hair.
"You're more brave than I am."

XXXI smiled sadly to him, as I tried to recollect myself. "How can you say that? You said all that, and you're saying that it wasn't brave? I'd say it surely was. Cause there's no way I can do that." I said as I stood up straight. "And, I'm not brave...I'm a coward... Don't worry. I won't bother you anymore..." patting him on the head I slipped my hands into my pockets and walked out of the alley.

"But..."
'I felt strangely happy to see you at first...'
Even a pat on the head wasn't going to assure that things would be all right.
"Um... you read Usami-san's books, right..?"
Having m hands in the pocket of my hoodie, my fingers fiddled with each other.
"I also... read them."
How sheepish.
The only way I might have possibly stopped him was to hope he'd understand that we have something in common.
"It'd be a shame if the two of us couldn't share interests...because maybe I wanted to get to know you some more."
I felt my face instantly become warm, keeping my head down to avoid eye contact.
'I've been alone for so long...'

XXXI felt my face grow warm as I stopped and looked back. I felt the dark gloomy feeling lift from me as I smiled happily to him, a smile different from that usual idol smile that I put up. "Sure!" I said as I ran back to him. "We can talk!"

Continuing to blush, I began to walk out of the alley with my head lowered.
"L-Let's go back inside.."
By this time of day, I could take off of my shift and go home.

XXXI nodded to him, following him like a happy puppy who just pleased his master. "Anything you wanna do!"

"..." Calmly returning inside, I quickly went to the back of the store, informing the owner that I was leaving.
"Have a good day, ma'am. I'll be here for the next shift tomorrow."
Once she'd agreed, she glanced over my shoulder, smiling a bit to see the red-headed male back at the front of the store.
She seemed to have understood my situation.
Returning to the red head, I childishly tugged at the end of his sleeve to bring him back outside.
"Ah, where are your disguises..?"
I'd asked him, stopping before leaving the store.

XXX"Eh?" I blinked, using my hands to feel if my disguise was still on. Facepalmed, I sighed. "They must've fell when I jumped out of that tree back in the park!" I sighed.

"..."
Covering my mouth with my hand, I chuckled.
Giving a quick thought, I instantly got an idea.
"Ah, you could use my hoodie," I insisted, already starting to lift it off myself.
In the process, a little of my stomach was showing when I pulled off the jacket as it took some of my shirt with it.
"It's a little big on me, so it should fit perfectly on you. Just switch your jacket with mine and put the hood over your head."
