“…That makes sense. You’re right; a kiss would be dangerous…”
Hyuuga seemed convinced. She was so naive.
“That said, it isn’t good to let a guy you aren’t even in love with touch your breasts. Forget I asked. I’m sorry I made you feel uncomfortable.”
I apologetically bowed my head to the girl I’d just started dating.
But when I looked up a few seconds later, our eyes met. Her face was bright red.
“…Just for a few seconds.”
“—Huh?”
Hyuuga continued in a whisper. “…If it’s just for a few seconds, I give you permission to touch my breasts.”
“—?! A-are you sure…?! You aren’t put off by a guy like me touching you…?”
“It’s okay… I do kind of like you,” Hyuuga murmured softly.
She took her hands away from her chest and glared at me.
“…Here. Go ahead.”
“I can’t do it when you’re scowling at me like that…”
“How I look has nothing to do with my boobs.”
“That’s not really the problem…”
“Hurry up. It’s embarrassing having to wait,” Hyuuga said with reproach in her voice. The bright-red color of her face had reached her ears now. Maybe she was only glaring at me to hide her own embarrassment.
I lowered my gaze. That swelling unique to women had grown considerably during the few years we hadn’t seen each other.
I never imagined something like this happening with a girl I’d once had a crush on…
“…Then here goes…”
I decided to touch them before she changed her mind.
I hesitantly moved my hands closer and closer to her chest, until I was eventually met with a moment of joy. The sensation against my fingertips was bouncy with just the right amount of elasticity.
“Ah…!”
Hyuuga twitched and exhaled seductively.
I wrapped my hands around the two bulges and felt a blissful softness beneath her slightly stiff clothing. I slowly moved my fingers, and the mounds changed shape.
“Ah…! Mm…!”
Sultry noises escaped her lips, and Hyuuga looked at me shyly. Back when we were in grade school, I never would have imagined she could look as sexy as she did right now. Hyuuga had grown from a girl into a woman.
“—Th-that’s enough!”
Hyuuga covered her chest with her hands and put a little distance between us. She looked at me embarrassedly.
“…S-so how was it…?”
“How do I describe it…? I won’t have any regrets now, no matter when I die…”
“Y-you liked it that much…?” Hyuuga smiled shyly and stared at me again. “You always did love women’s breasts, ever since grade school.”
“—What?! No way that’s true.”
“I’m sure of it. I remember one time we were watching a zombie movie at my house, and there was a scene where the actress took a bath and you could see her breasts. Your eyes were glued to the screen the entire time.”
“Huh…?! Really? I don’t remember that.”
“Well, I do. You were so focused on the screen you didn’t even notice me watching you. It was appalling to see what guys are capable of.”
“Maybe I was just really concentrating on the movie.”
“You were grinning like a total lech.”
“How do you remember everything so clearly? Why were you watching me instead of the movie?”
“I’d been thinking about how big the actress’s boobs were and wanted to see how you reacted to them.”
“That’s just mean.”
“…Back then, I was a little jealous, seeing how you stared at her… But I’ve grown up now… Almost as much as that actress.”
I couldn’t help lowering my gaze when she said that.
“…Should I guess what you’re thinking now, Yuuma?”
“You don’t even have to say it.”
“You want to see mine naked, too.”
“…You’re right, but so what?”
I couldn’t help but admit it, and Hyuuga looked at me with an appraising eye.
Her lips trembled as she asked me a question.
“…Yuuma. Before we say good-bye for the last time, do you want me to let you see my boobs?”
“—What?!!”
Hyuuga looked perplexed by my sudden shout, and I hastily added, “A-are you sure you don’t mind…?!”
“I do sort of mind, but considering the circumstances… Besides, I might get bitten by a zombie and die soon, too… It must be fate that brought us together here, so I figure it might not be a bad idea to make a few last memories of my youth.”
“Don’t you think this is a bit adult to be called a memory of your youth?”
“You don’t want to see my boobs, then?”
“No, I do. Sorry, I just couldn’t stop myself from making a joke. Please do me the great honor of allowing me to see your breasts,” I said with a deep bow.
Hyuuga took a deep breath. I looked back up to see her standing right in front of me, her eyes cast down as she silently removed her uniform’s jacket. Next, she began unbuttoning her shirt, starting from the top, gradually exposing her bare skin, until eventually her shirt was completely open, revealing a cute pink bra.
Hyuuga’s face was bright red, and she didn’t make eye contact. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, as if to stifle her embarrassment, and she undid the front hook of her bra with a trembling hand.
But that was where she stopped. She seemed to hesitate, as anyone would in this situation.
It didn’t take long for her expression to change to one of resolve, however, and she slowly began to remove her bra.
Free at last, her shapely breasts bounced. Everything—the milky white mounds and their peach-colored tips—was in full view.
I was so shocked I thought my brain might boil over. I couldn’t think straight anymore.
One thing I did know, though, was that this was no time to turn into a zombie.
“…Okay, that’s it.”
After about two seconds, Hyuuga closed her shirt, turned around, and began fixing her clothes.
I thought I should say something, but nothing came to mind. My brain was too busy processing what had just happened.
