Breakfast With Two Bennett

[Aoyagi Pov ]

"i'm still sleepy…"

I woke up with the sunlight piercing through the curtains and tried my best to keep my heavy eyelids open as I got ready for school.

I brush my teeth, improve my sleeping habits in the bathroom, and wash my face, but the drowsiness is still there.

Maybe because I used to be very alert, but I was always clear-minded even when I woke up from sleep.

If my body is full of energy, maybe I should at least start running again.

*ding dong!

"Hmm? Who's this early in the morning?”

I opened the door, wondering because no one had ever come in the morning before.

From sana

“O-ha-yo-u, Onii-chan!”

An overly cute angel greeted me with a big smile on his face.

"Amma-chan? can you speak Japanese now? ”

Emma-chan greeted me in Japanese, and inevitably I responded in Japanese as well.

“…………?”

Emma-chan, who of course doesn't understand Japanese very well, doesn't understand what I'm saying and tilts her head.

Then he nodded with a smile and looked at me with his arms wide open.

Apparently, she begged me to hug her.

I don't think he understands what I'm saying, but he nodded appropriately.

Well, it was my fault for talking to her in Japanese, so I stopped worrying about her and bowed.

When I look at Emma-chan, I smile and say, "O-ha-yo-u" the same way.

She seemed to be studying Japanese greetings, so I decided to help her get used to it.

“Ah―O-ha-yo-u!”

I think she was glad I greeted her the same way, so she greeted me again the same way.

It was so funny to see him smile happily at me.

I could have greeted him the same way again, but I felt it was a weasel move.

So I decided to fulfill Emma-chan's first request.

Emma-chan's eyes sparkled happily as I grabbed her tiny body.

I hugged her tightly so that I wouldn't drop her, then lifted her up, and Emma-chan did the same, wrapping her arms around my neck.

Then she gave me a kiss on the cheek as usual.

This girl is really a spoiled child.

But that's what makes it so sweet, I guess.

When she said "Onii-chan" in Japanese with a good pronunciation, I really wanted to make her my sister.

She said that she wanted to learn to speak Japanese a while ago, but I was impressed by the way she tried to learn it.

By the way, I wonder why Emma-chan came to my room in the morning.

As I was wondering, I felt the presence of someone at the door.

When I turned my head, my eyes met Charlotte-san's eyes. For some reason, he just popped his head out of the door and looked at me.

“Ah... S-good morning.

I'm not sure if it was because our eyes met, but Charlotte-san greeted me with a fading voice.

And then, for some reason, his face gradually hid behind the door.

Charlotte-san says she's not afraid of me, but it seems like she's still afraid of me no matter how I look at her.

After all, he tried to hide behind the door because he was afraid of me, right?

I greeted him with a smile, surprised in my heart but trying not to tell him I was surprised.

“U-umm, sorry to bother you so early..”.

"No, don't worry about it, it's okay, did something happen?"

I looked at Charlotte-san's face as I dealt with Emma-chan, who was being pampered in my arms.

Then Charlotte-san walked out the door, but for some reason, she muttered something in a small voice while playing her fingers agitatedly.

His voice was so slow that I could not catch what he said at all.

"Sorry, what are you saying?"

I feel bad asking her back, but I can't give a random answer in this situation.

And since she came early in the morning, I think that's very important.

"I wondered .. if we could .. join you ... for breakfast …"

“Eh?”

“As I said earlier.. Let's have breakfast.. together...”.

“Eh?”

“You made me repeat again.. Aoyagi-kun, you are a bully... Although you can definitely hear me..?”.

When I asked again and again, Charlotte-san, who was once agitated, now puffed her cheeks and sulked.

No, I'm sure I've heard it a second time, but my brain can't catch it.

If it was just for breakfast, I would have been invited yesterday.

But the reason why he asked me yesterday was because we were together in the morning.

But today, not only did she come all the way to my house, she asked me out on a date in shame.

This is― is it okay to think about it like this?

Maybe she's not afraid of me, maybe Charlotte's just embarrassed?

…No, relax, I.

I took too much for my own good.

If I make a mistake here, I'll be a narcissistic embarrassment.

Originally, Charlotte-san had a shy side to her.

Maybe he's not afraid of me, but it's possible he's not ashamed of liking me, but he's just ashamed of something that happened.

I'm sure it's quite embarrassing to invite someone of the opposite sex for breakfast.

“Ah, it's just.. Aoyagi-kun said he wanted to eat my cooking every day.. and Emma also wanted to eat with Aoyagi-kun.

When I answered for too long because I was thinking, Charlotte hurriedly started talking.

I began to feel sorry for her as her eyes began to tear up.

“Sorry, I just thought of something. I'm so glad you came all the way to make breakfast for me. Thank you." Thank you."

I smiled and thanked him, hoping his panic would calm his mind.

I'm actually really glad he invited me to eat with them and he offered to make me breakfast.

Perhaps, no man would refuse such an invitation from her.

On the other hand, if people knew that I was in such a situation, they would probably attack me out of jealousy…

There was one more thing that occurred to me.

In the past, if he had taken me to eat with him, or if his face was near me, I would have been terrified.

But now, for some reason, Charlotte-san is quite nervous, and I can stay calm.

I think it's possible for people to stay calm when others are more nervous or tense than themselves.
