Shiver

7

I wanted to say...
Don't you shiver, shiver, shiver


A red-haired girl kept shouting Haruto's name, but the man ignored her and just kept walking.

"HARUTO!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" He shouted once again.

The one whose name was called finally turned around, "Cimoy"sorry, but it seems like I won't be taking you today"

"Hey, why? Why did you suddenly change your mind? You've come all the way here!"

"Sorry I can't take you there, I forgot that I already have an appointment with Atha."

"Can't you just cancel it? He's your best friend, I think he'll understand."

"I know Atha will understand, but I still feel bad for her. If that's the case, I'll go first," Haruto said goodbye before actually leaving the red-haired girl's residence.

Cimoy simply smiled and nodded weakly. Honestly, he was currently holding back his anger, but he had to look good in Haruto's eyes.

A knock on the door was heard, Atha rushed to open the door of her house.

"Ruto, I thought it wouldn't happen.." said the girl in front of him now softly.

"Sorry for the delay, it was a bit jammed on the way. I'll bring you pizza instead"

"Wow, pizza!!" Atha exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. This made Haruto laugh softly and then pinch her cheek affectionately.

After fifteen minutes, they decided not to go to the amusement park and chose to just stay at home while eating the pizza that Haruto brought.

"Umm, how's your relationship with Cimoy?" Atha asked carefully.

"Nothing special, just like that. Our relationship is still special," Haruto replied jokingly.

"Smile, talk to the wall." The girl replied angrily, although her heart was pounding.

"Why are you so cute, Thaa?" Haruto said while playing with her hair.

Haruto didn't know, his joke could have an impact on the girl in front of him now.

"Where have you been? You just realized that," the girl replied, pouting. And again, Haruto just smiled.

Oh yeah, by the way, Haruto said he wanted to ask Cimoy out on her birthday (part 2), Haruto actually did, but Cimoy still hasn't given him an answer. In other words, he's been left hanging without any certainty.

After that they were struck by silence for a while, before the girl decided to ask.

"Watanabe..–"

Haruto looked at the girl who called his name and then raised an eyebrow, confused, and as if asking 'why?'

"-...haruto" the girl continued.

"Yes, why?" Haruto asked patiently, while Atha was busy playing with her nails.

"Haruto?"

"Hm?" 

"Don't you shiver?"

The man turned his head and then chose to look away, either because he didn't want to or wasn't able to answer the question.

Haruto, without you realizing it you are trembling inside your own mind.
