Kawano-kun's Sex Friend - Chapter 8

It was a standard apartment. Two pairs of men’s sneakers were by the entrance. The kitchen was on the left, and the bathroom, with a door likely leading to the toilet, was on the right.

The room was sparsely furnished but messy. A bed stood against the wall, and in the middle of the room was a black round table. Light from a streetlamp gently filtered through the half-open blackout curtains. The desk and floor were covered with a large number of empty cans, bottles, and plates with half-finished meals.

“Wow! A Roomba! It’s such a luxury for such a tiny space…”

“Ah, I used to clean with a broom and dustpan, but it got annoying, so I bought it.”

“A broom and dustpan…”

It was funny to picture this tall guy hunched over, sweeping with a broom. The Roomba seemed to be doing its job well, as there was no trash in the hallway, as it made its way to the back of the room.

“Oi, Takuya, wake up!”

A man was sound asleep, face down on the table in the middle of the room. When Kawano-kun shook his shoulder, his face slowly lifted.

“What……?”

His face, now raised, looked younger than Kawano-kun’s. He had slightly furrowed brows and gentle eyes.

“Taku-kun!?”

“…Natsu?”

“What? No way, why are you here, Takuya?”

It seemed that Natsu knew this man named Takuya. When asked, she revealed that they were classmates.

“I never imagined Takuya would be friends with Yuuri. What a shock!”

“I’m surprised Natsu is Yuuri’s colleague.”

Natsu sat beside Takuya and began chatting cheerfully. Kawano-kun sat next to her, so I had no choice but to sit next to him, between him and Takuya.

“……”

I couldn’t join in on the conversation and felt uncomfortable. Kawano-kun silently drank his alcohol and offered me some, so I took a sip or two.

“What are you drinking?”

“Gin, you want some?”

“…Okay, just a little.”

I answered, and he handed me his half-drunk glass. I was surprised to be offered a half-drunk glass, but if I refused, it would be as if I was the only one overthinking the situation. I took the glass and had just a small sip.

“…It’s a bit strong.”

“It’s 40% alcohol. I like it.”

“Hmmm……”

I hid my joy at learning what he liked and took another small sip. My face heated up, so I quickly fanned myself with my palm.

“You should eat something before drinking.”

“Hmm… then I’ll have some.”

“This is my specialty. It’s cold, though.”

He pointed to a dish of vongole bianco. The smell of garlic was a bit strong, but I decided to have a little bite.

“Mmm, it’s delicious.”

“Right?”

“You’re a good cook.”

“Yeah, I suppose.”

“Not being humble is very much like you.”

“What do you mean by ‘just like me’? What do you think you know about me?”

“Eh?”

His tone was sharp, but that was just how he usually spoke. No… maybe I was wrong to think of him that way. I knew nothing about him.

“Well then, tell me about yourself.”

“Well… I’m 173 cm, weigh 57 kg, O bl00d type, and I’m an only child. I also have a dog at my parents’ house.”

“I see.”

“I like drinking, playing games, and working out. Also, I like girls. Recently, I’ve gotten into cooking.”

“What else?”

“I’m average at most things, but there’s nothing I’m especially good at.”

“You’re being surprisingly humble.”

I drank the lukewarm alcohol from the glass in my hand. The warm alcohol was bitterer than expected, but since he wasn’t saying anything, all I could do was drink.

“Oh, and I also can hold my liquor.”

“Hmm…”

“You seem to have a low tolerance for alcohol, Enka-san. You’re all red.”

“That’s not true…”

I placed the empty glass on the table and lowered my gaze awkwardly. Natsu and Takuya seemed to be having fun, clinking their chopsticks and plates while singing.

“Here.”

“Hmm… thanks.”

After a while, Kawano-kun, now wearing a T-shirt, took out a can of chu-hi from the fridge and offered it to me. I could still drink, so I opened the tab and drank half of it in one gulp.

“Make sure to eat the food too.”

“Okay.”

“We’ve still got more alcohol.”

“Mm… sorry… I’m starting to get a little sleepy.”

I lowered my eyelids for about five seconds. But in that short time, I must have fallen asleep, and when I woke up, no one was around.

“…What time is it!?”

There was no clock on the wall, so I checked my phone and saw that it was 10 PM. Natsu and Takuya weren’t around. Of course, neither was Kawano-kun.

“Takuya gave Natsu a ride home.”

I turned my face towards the sound of the voice. Kawano-kun, perhaps just out of the shower, was standing there completely naked.
