Miyagi who isn't mine — 217

「Sendai-sensei, do you like those earrings?」

Kikyō-chan stares at my ear from across the table in the familiar room I’ve grown accustomed to going to.

「I’m thinking of getting a new one, but I can’t seem to find one that looks good.」

I have a small earring in my ear that I gave to Miyagi. It has been in my ear since her birthday and will be replaced with a new one soon. But Miyagi, who said she would pick out the earrings, hasn’t picked them out for me more than a week since then.

「I’d like to get mine pierced after I pass high school.」

Kikyō-chan says quietly and drops her gaze to the problem book.

「You’ll get in trouble at school.」

「I know, right? But I thought it would be cool to get a pair of earrings to commemorate my passing.」

「It’s cool, but why not something else? If you get into high school, as your teacher, I will give you something as a gift.」

「Is that true?」

Kikyō-chan puts down the pen she was holding and leans forward. Her slightly long bangs sway and her sparkling eyes are clearly visible.

「It’s true. I can’t buy you anything expensive, but I’ll give you something you want.」

「Okay.」

A bouncy voice comes back.

The pages of the problem book are turned vigorously, and I can tell that Kikyō-chan’s excitement has increased. I think it’s adorable that she’s like a middle school student, whose motivation meter rises in an easily understandable way with a single word of a gift.

It’s refreshingly different from Miyagi.

When I was a high school student and was teaching Miyagi to study, I never heard a voice from her as bouncy as Kikyō-chan.

I wish I could have seen Miyagi as happy as Kikyō-chan back then. Grumpy Miyagi was cute, but Miyagi smiling at the penguins at the aquarium was also cute. I can’t help but think that it would’ve been nice to have such a happy Miyagi next to me when I was in high school.

「Sensei, there’s a problem here.」

Just as my thoughts were biased toward Miyagi, I hear Kikyō-chan’s voice and look at the problem she is pointing at.

「It’s this one.」

Answering Kikyō-chan’s questions and even do the preparation for school lessons as it is, the allotted time will be over in no time.

I leave Kikyō-chan and head for home on the train.

Tutoring reminds me a lot of Miyagi when I was a high school student. This part-time job is interesting, with some nostalgia. Maybe I can convince Miyagi to add one more student.

I get off the train and walk with the cold wind blowing in my face. Autumn is over, winter is beginning, and I feel the night air directly on my neck, which has nothing to cover. It’s so cold that I don’t think I can rely on my thin coat. I walked up three flights of stairs and opened the front door, eager to see Miyagi as soon as possible.

I take off my shoes and go to the common area, but Miyagi is not there.

I leave my coat and bag in my room and return to the common area.

I knocked three times on Miyagi’s room, and after a short pause, the door clicked open.

「Welcome.」

「I’m home. Can I come in?」

「Yes.」

The door is opened wide with a soft voice. When I entered her cozy, air-conditioned room, I found that she had been studying because she had some books on her desk.

I unbuttoned one of the buttons of my blouse and sat down next to Miyagi.

「Hey, Miyagi. The earrings, when are you going to pick them out for me?」

I tug on Miyagi’s ear, which is against the bed.

「When, I just said I was going to pick you one the other day.」

「I waited over a week.」

「Sendai-san, aren’t you getting ahead of yourself? I’d like to take my time to choose.」

「So, if you’re just taking your time, why don’t you go look at earrings with me? Miyagi can just pick them out for me and I’ll buy them.」

I think I should really wait.

It’s better to take her time and let Miyagi choose when she wants to choose. Like a stray cat, she is capricious. Even if I rush her, she doesn’t do what I want her to do.

I am well aware of this, but the longer I wait, the more I feel as if Miyagi’s words about choosing earrings were an auditory hallucination.

「I’m not going. I’ll choose it, I’ll buy it. So, Sendai-san, just wait for it.」

Miyagi says something I never thought she would say.

「I’ll buy it myself, that’s fine. Like I said before, you can just pick and choose it, Miyagi.」

「I choose, I buy.」

Clearly, Miyagi said, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner once.

It was cold outside, but this room was warm enough.

Not enough to raise the temperature, I took the remote control from her and put it on the bed.

「How long do I have to wait?」

「Until I get one for you.」

I got a vague answer, and I touched her earring.

The small ornament hit my fingertip and I slowly traced the earring.

「If Miyagi says so, I’ll wait, but I’ll get a replacement for the earring.」

「What’s the replacement?」

I removed my hand from her ear and strokes Miyagi’s lips, who makes a probing sound.

「Mark me down. You can do that much right now.」

「…Where would be the mark?」

「Miyagi’s favorite spot.」

I tell her softly, and she looks at me as if she were looking at something suspicious.

「The other day you said you’d let me specify where to put it on?」

「Like I said, you can mark any place you want today, Miyagi. In return, let me mark the same place.」

I know the answer without having to ask.

So I put my lips on Miyagi’s lips before she says「you can’t」and take the words away. When I grab her hand and make her unable to resist, I can feel the comfortable body heat from her matching lips and gripping hand. Wanting more of Miyagi, I touch her lips with the tip of my tongue and push it into the tip. But soon she bites me hard and drives me out.

「Sendai-san, you didn’t tell me that this is the system that would happen if I didn’t choose the earrings early.」

I hear her grumpy voice.

「Now I’ve decided. It’s Miyagi’s fault for not quickly choosing the earrings.」

「Unfair.」

「Don’t you want to mark me, Miyagi?」

As I ask the question, the hand that was holding on flees from me. Miyagi’s fingertips trace the floor and tug at my blouse.

「…Sendai-san, are you really going to mark the same spot?」

「I’ll mark it. So, think about it and mark me.」

The kissmarks I’ve been worn many times.

It’s not something I hesitate to do now, so it’s one of the things I can do while maintaining our relationship as roommates. It’s Miyagi that chooses the place, and since she’s had a kissmark from me before, I don’t think it’s a big problem for me to mark her.

So I don’t mind testing Miyagi a little bit.

I would like to know where Miyagi would like me to kiss and touch in these situations.

I think it is a roundabout way.

But if I ask her straight, she will never answer me.

「Have you decided?」

I ask quietly, and Miyagi wrinkles her brow and replies,「not yet.」

「I’ll take off my clothes if you want me to.」

「You don’t have to.」

「Be quick about it. You’re thinking too much.」

I tug on her earlobe as if to hurry her along, and put pressure on the fingertips that touch her earring.

「Let go.」

I took my hands away from her ears at the piercing voice, and Miyagi unbuttoned two buttons of my blouse.

Miyagi’s hands enter my blouse, which is now three buttons undone. Her hands caressed my shoulders and traced my collarbone. Then, slowly, she opened my blouse wide.
