Kawano-kun's Sex Friend - Chapter 10

This love, like a game, was so fun I couldn’t help but enjoy it. Freed from Takayuki, I became more and more attracted to that arrogant man. I made sure to pretend I wasn’t lost in him. The time when we intensely desired each other during our acts of s3x was unbearably pleasurable.

Since then. Six months had passed since the day we first had s3x. Kawano-kun called me out on average three times a week, and we would have s3x multiple times in that small room. When I couldn’t do it, he’d say, ‘Just do it with your mouth,’ and pull down his pants. I was disgusted by how much of a jerk he was, but I was intoxicated by being controlled, and I happily obeyed his demands.

“Good morning.”

I said that and walked out to the sales area, where Nacchan and Kawano-kun were having a lively conversation. I quietly watched them from behind.

“Ryo, good morning~”

“Hello, good morning.”

“What are you two doing?”

“Yuuri told me that if your back hurts, standing like this with your feet wide apart makes it feel better.”

They’re hidden behind the counter, so from the sales floor, you can’t see the two of them with their legs spread, but from here, they look like a weird couple standing with their legs wide apart.

“Why does Yuuri have back pain?”

“It’s nothing~ Doesn’t really concern Natsu, does it?”

“What’s with that way of saying it!”

While Nacchan got angry, Kawano-kun gave me a brief glance. We had promised to keep our relationship a secret, so he shouldn’t have said anything.

“When a guy says he has back pain, all I can think about is something inappropriate.”

“Natsu, you’re naughty.”

“Natsu hasn’t said anything yet!”

“Uh-huh.”

What Nacchan said… well, it was true. Last night, I was called to his apartment and we had s3x twice. It was the same the day before and the day before that, so it’s no wonder his hips are sore. By the way, my hips are sore too.

“I don’t mind, but… Ahh, I’m hungry. What are you having for dinner tonight, Ryo?”

“Today? I’m having stew.”

“Eh, stew?”

“No, it’s stew.”

“Isn’t your intonation wrong?”

Kawano-kun, who interrupted the conversation, had an odd intonation.

“It’s stew, said with the intonation of a public parade!”

“No, that’s wrong! It’s stew, with the intonation of sugar!”

Either way, it became apparent that Kawano-kun is from outside the prefecture. He had said he moved here, but from what prefecture… A new mystery arose about why he’s living alone in a place like this.

(He mentioned that the reason he chose to work at this store was because there were a lot of women.)

A thought suddenly crossed my mind: “Could he be planning to quit if he sleeps with all the women here?”

(No, but… I’m just a s3x friend, and I don’t really want to be his girlfriend or anything…)

I couldn’t understand my true feelings, and I furrowed my brows. I had always thought that being with such a selfish guy would be out of the question, but now, I found myself unwilling to let him go to someone else.

(…How pathetic.)

Nacchan and Kawano-kun were still arguing. Exasperated, I started my work. As I stared at the door, I saw a woman’s figure outside.

“We have a customer.”

I signaled the two arguing to be quiet. When the door opened, the three of us greeted, “Welcome~” all at once.

She was a slender, tall woman. Her hair swayed gracefully on her shoulders, and she was a striking beauty. Her abdomen, visible between the open jacket, was slightly rounded, making her look like a pregnant woman.

“…I finally found you, Yuu-kun!”

“…Whoa, Mirai?”

“Yuu-kun,” she called, referring to Kawano-kun. His face, rarely showing anxiety, let out a short sigh as he patted her shoulder to calm her down.

“Hey, isn’t this a serious situation?”

“I feel like this isn’t the time to say something like that…”

Nacchan was watching the scene with excitement, but I was nervous. Because, no matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

“Yuu-kun, you said we’d build a family, right!? Why did you run away!”

“Ugh… So exhausting…”

“Yuu-kun!”

“Excuse me, would it be okay if I talk outside for a bit?”

When Nacchan and I silently nodded, Kawano-kun took the woman and went outside. He returned 30 minutes later. Without asking who she was, neither Nacchan nor I could bring ourselves to ask him anything, and we ended the day’s work.

❀　❀　❀

As a result, Kawano-kun resigned a month after the woman he called ‘Mirai’ appeared. He showed a surprisingly serious side, saying that he would work the shifts that had already been scheduled.

I couldn’t ask anything. There was no way I could have asked. Even though I understood everything from the situation, I still wanted an explanation from his mouth in the end. But then again, I was just a s3x friend, and even if I wasn’t, there was no way I could ask, ‘Who is that woman?’

Even after he resigned, I continued to work at the same store. Maybe one day, he’d come back with a child in his arms, together with that woman… I thought to myself.

But if that really happened, would I be able to bear it?

I liked him. But in the end, what I liked was just his outward appearance. We couldn’t even have a proper conversation. All we did was get physical. We were just friends with benefits, so there was nothing to be done about it.

I’m sure we’ll never meet again. I know there’s no way we could, but the warmth of his last embrace, and the feeling of his lips against mine, I can’t forget…
