Lost Valentines Day

1

“It’s an obligatory one okay, obligatory! You’ve helped me all this time so… I have to give you an obligatory chocolate so…”

Kajiura Rikka handed Toujou Basara the chocolate, her face couldn’t get any redder than it was.

As Basara took it, Rikka’s eyes narrowed, in contrast to her words.

It’s the noon of Valentine Day.

The school nurse of “Hijirigasaka Academy”, Hasegawa Chisato watched this from the infirmary.

She brought her now cold coffee to her lips. A sigh spilled from her.

“…Really, Tachibana and Kajiura too. I’m too much of a teacher huh.”

The twisting of her lips was not just from the coffee.

“I’m somewhat jealous of how naïve they are”

As she muttered, Hasegawa recalled what happened not long ago.

So that on February the 14th Basara could spend it with Mio, Yuki and the rest of his household as a family, “Valentine Day” with Hasegawa was a week earlier, when she was invited to his house. It was a day that was just right on a secret meeting for Mio and the others.

Hasegawa passed her handmade chocolate, ate some food and expressed her feelings with her body once more.

In addition, when they went to the hot springs together in January, spending much longer with Basara than actual time, deepening their bond.

That’s why on Valentine Day, she would be an adult and be satisfied with this – or so she thought.

“It’s not that isn’t enough”

Even though it should be so, the pain in her didn’t disappear. It was a feeling that was strange to her that wouldn’t melt away.

She somehow looked to her work PC.

“This is…”

As she opened, she looked at a news page. Her eyes behind her glasses narrowed. Soon, she was grabbing her cell phone and began typing her text.

A holiday, a few days after.

Hasegawa and Basara walked together at a shopping mall.

Despite Valentine being over, there are many visitors here. Not just couples, but families and middle-aged couples, there were a variety of customers.

“We went quite far out today”

“Yes. It seems like this was renewed just a few months ago. I have interest in it”

As she said so, Hasegawa linked her arm around Basara.

“Sensei!? That’s…”

“It’s bad in front of others because we are teacher and student?”

To the surprised Basara, Hasegawa made a mischievous face.

“It’s fine. The students of Hijirigasaka Academy generally don’t come here”

“That is true”

Just as Hasgeawa said, this shopping mall is located far from the nearest station of Hijirigasaka Academy. The students there would find it too troublesome transport-wise to come here.

It was a place that Hasegawa found on the net news the other day.

“So, I don’t have to hold back right? Though we are teacher and student”

“Well, that’s true…”

Saying that grinding at the back of his teeth, Basara glanced at Hasgeawa.

“What’s wrong?”

Even though she somewhat understood what he meant to ask, she ventured to ask.

Seeing Basara’s words contained, Hasegawa narrowed her eyes.

Usually, Hasegawa’s clothes would have a strong adult appeal. At school, her white outfit and tight skirt, at the hot spring she had worn a combination with a high-quality coat.

But today, she had a different feel from usual.

Her coat was a half-coat, her skirt a fluttery flare skirt. She was also adorned by adorable accessories. Beside the coat and skirt, it was coordinated in the same way.

Different than usual, her adult appeal was wrapped in girlishness.

Hasegawa whose softness and warmth exceed her clothes asked Basara.

“Does it not suit me?”

Basara quickly shook his head.

“I don’t understand fashion but”

He answered shyly.

“But, I think it’s good somehow”

“That’s good. I didn’t get something that didn’t suit your tastes”

Hasegawa’s expression loosened up.

“By the way, why did you ask to come here? Is there some kind of event?”

As it’s a holiday after renewal, they have an event stage and seem to have something going on.

“No, I didn’t choose it for that kind of reason”

Hasegawa stopped her steps, looking around the unfamiliar shopping mall.

And she narrowed her eyes mischievously.

“If I have to say, it’s a test from me. Like a teacher”

“Test?”

“I thought I’d have you escort me today”

Basara blinked.

“Eh…? I didn’t decide on anything though”

“Precisely because of that, it’s a test. We’ve always gone to places I’ve decided on”

“That is true… I do feel like at times I should properly do something”

Looking at Basara with a troubled face, Hasegawa in her heart thought “Aren’t you working too hard?” though she said nothing.

“So then, let’s think while we have lunch. Let’s see –”

Looking around once more, Hasegawa pointed to one of the tenant shops.

“How about that?”

3

It’s a well-known national fast food chain.

“This kind of thing is delicious too”

Hasegawa enthusiastically ate up a 3 meat patty hamburger. Licking the sauce off her lips, a satisfied expression appeared on her face. Basara, holding on to his standard teriyaki burger looked blankly at Hasegawa.

“What’s wrong? Is there sauce on me?”

“No, it’s just unexpected. I didn’t have an image of hamburgers for you”

“That’s not true. I’m pretty loose when I’m eating alone. I don’t hate dull tastes too. To begin with, didn’t we meet at a yakiniku place before?”

“Now that you mention it, that’s true”

“Though I won’t deny it’s odd for a Togami. Doesn’t affinity swell up like this?”

“That’s true.”

At the joking words, Basara’s expression relaxed.

“So then, have you decided where you’d take me? You have time till we finish eating”

“Uwah. Wait a second”

Looking at Hasegawa who went back to stuffing herself with the hamburger, Basara let out a surprised voice.

As he continued to eat, Basara knit his eyebrows together, forehead creasing as he thinks.

“Today you said something quite difficult… I don’t have much of an experience in this”

“I’ve always let you experience though, don’t I?”

With a troubled face, Basara turned his gaze.

And then those eyes stopped.

Behind Hasegawa, outside of the fast food chain was a cinema. The large posters of the showing movies and the large POP came up to his eyes.

“What about a movie”

“Aah. I see”

Hasegawa turned around, and confirmed the cinema behind her.

“I think it’s good. I’ll give you a passing grade. For someone you’ve just met, and you may not have common interest I would say to be careful”

“Is that so?”

“But it’s you and me. In a way, we have been together for a long time”

With a coy smile, Hasegawa gazed at the cinema from inside the store.

“What movie would you like to watch?”

Saying that, Basara used his phone to look up the movies that are currently showing.

“There’s an American comic book hero movie. It’s not a series, so it seems easy to watch. Beside that, this sci-fi movie seems interesting, It’s about Mars…”

“No, let’s go with that”

Hasegawa pointed at a poster.

“Lost Day Memorial”, a title for a foreign film. Different from the action or sci-fi movie posters, the poster was a simple one of a boy and a girl holding hands.

“I remember everything”, by that catch phrase he had an impression of it.

Might it be that kind of subject, Basara has never heard of the title.

“A love drama?”

“Isn’t it date like? Is it too normal? It’d be good if it isn’t childish”

Hasegawa smiled.

A devilish smile that’s different than usual, that face, made Basara’s heart beat faster.

“Sensei, are you really okay?”

“I’m okay. But, just for a little bit… Just a little bit more, I’m sorry…”

Fifteen minutes after watching the movie “Lost Day Memorial”, in the lobby.

Hasegawa’s eyes were red.

Having taken her glasses off, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. The handkerchief was already soaking wet, but her tears had not stopped.

And this is an already better condition. In the latter half of the movie, she kept on sobbing.

As to not disturb the other customers coming and going, Basara and Hasegawa stood in a corner of the lobby.

After a bit, Hasgeawa finally put her glasses back on, and exhaled a deep breath.

It’s not a sigh, but it’s a kind of action for all the feeling of satisfaction in her chest.

“It was a good story. Truthfully, I thought I felt apologetic for thinking it may be childish now”

She said earnestly.

“The heroine who must leave on a journey to make her dreams come true. Even though when they part they may not meet again. Even so, the protagonist… the boy watched the girl off.”

Tears flowed out of her again.

“It’s just painful. How much they yearned for each other. That performance was good. The last kiss… They expressed the hidden passion. That performance.”

“I definitely think so as well… I’m glad you liked the movie”

Basara wiped Hasegawa’s tears with his own handkerchief.

“Hasegawa-sensei, you being this emotional is quite unexpected.”

“With the hamburger earlier too, what kind of woman do you think I am?”

She asked with a pouty face.

“I’m a girl too”

At one strike, a smile, Hasegawa took Basara’s hand.

“So, thanks for waiting. Let’s continue our date”

“Y-yes”

As Hasegawa dragged him along, Basara walked in the shopping mall.

“Ah!” exclaiming that, Hasegawa ran towards one of the shops.

“So, what do you think of this?”

It’s a glasses shop.

Hasegawa tried on a pair of glasses. It’s a type with distinctive frames, different from her usual under-rim glasses.

“It’s a different impression–”

“Next is here”

Without waiting for Basara’s reply, she returned the sample and aimed for a different shop.

This time, it was an apparel shop.

“Something like this… It’d definitely be too tight huh?”

What’s in Hasgeawa’s hand is clothes with a stronger sweet look than the clothes she was wearing.

Fluttery with lots of decoration, it has a childish feel to it.

“What do you think?”

“It’s cute but…”

“Ah, that shop too”

Haseagwa who instantly went to the shoe shop, left Basara to go after her confused.

“I don’t hate wearing sneakers but, what do you think? These shoes too…”

“Please wait”

He stopped Hasegawa, who was once again heading off without waiting for his answer.

“What is it? Are you already tired?”

Hasegawa who turned around with a bitter smile, paused as she saw Basara’s expression.

“Did something happen?”

He asked while holding on to her hand.

“What do you mean by something?”

“You’re very fresh today Hasegawa-sensei. A sensei who’s different from usual is good too, I think. I’ve seen unexpected sides of you. However… It seems like you’re trying too hard to show that”

Basara’s face was serious.

“Toujou…”

Haseagwa averted her gaze away from those eyes.

“That’s right, you’re that kind of person. Because, even Tachibana and others…”

“Tachibana?”

“No, that’s not related. That’s right…”

Hasegawa seemed lost but, she raised up her face and stared into Basara’s.

Then she parted her lips.

“On Valentine’s day, I as a teacher, for your surrounding… No, watching the time passed by students other than you as well. In the same place, same time, same day, they live. To me, that is a right scene. After all, I live in a time that flows differently from yours. Not just from our age.”

Hasegawa had a far look.

“I’m a Togami. Not a normal human. Unlike you students, I don’t pass time in this world. Well, you have a bit of a special history but… Even so. I’m different from you.”

Her expression seems defeated.

“That’s why… Just to somehow, experience the same time as you. I thought I wanted to try something like that. Not even as teacher and student, but for fumbling a date at the mall… Isn’t it odd?”

There’s loneliness too.

“Furthermore,” Hasegawa continued.

“There’s a time where I’d be seperated from you”

“That’s…”

“Thinking of that, I’m scared, it’s painful. That’s why, I was excessively moved by the movie just now”

“Hasegawa-sensei”

Hasegawa widened her eyes in surprise.

Basara brought her into a tight hug.

“I’m not letting go of you”

Basara hugged her, to the point she felt a little pain.

At a close proximity, Basara focused on Hasegawa.

Her surprised expression turned to one of affection.

“Stupid… We’re outside today, even if we can say there’s no students from our school here today”

As her cheeks are tinted, Hasegawa said that, and the environment around them changed.

The crowd disappeared, and all that was left is an empty shopping mall.

She had cut them off, making a barrier that copied the place.

Hasegawa got closer to the Basara who was holding her.

Rubbing on, putting their bodies together, the shape of her nipples under the sweet clothes changed.

“Mmm,” Hasegawa’s voice leaked out.

“Toujou… I want you to remember everything of me”

She said that, words from the movie earlier.

The words that minced through the protagonist, from the girl who was supposed to leave.

As their bodies were put together, their hands were on each other, fingers entangled.

Body and body, hand and hand put together, on top of it, she put her thigh between Basara’s legs.

There’s no situation where they could be closer, and Hasegawa took Basara’s lips.

“Mm… Mm chuu (♥) Mmm”

Their touching lips pushed in strongly. Then, Hasegawa’s tongue pushed in between Basara’s lips, and he answered to that.

Their tongues desired each other, entangling and making lewd noises.

“Chuu, nnn, fuu…. Nnnn (♥)”

Both their saliva flowing, mixing together in a dense kiss.

As they kiss, Hasegawa led Basara’s hand on her stomach towards her crotch.

“Touch me”

She said, in between the kisses.

Basara complied, tasting Hasegawa’s body with his palm over her clothes.

Under the thick warm winter clothes, was definitely her body. That special female softness, a warmth that transcended the cloth in between them.

“Aah, nn… Haaah (♥) Toujou…”

Parting from the kiss, Hasegawa let out a pained breath.

Basara’s hand caressed her stomach, gripping around her waist and then grabbing her butt from under her skirt.

“Fuuah, aah…. (♥) There. Feel… Feel me more, nn, haah”

Basara’s lips once again closed up on hers.

“Nn, nn”

Indulged in a kiss with bewitched eyes, Hasegawa exposed her own large chest.

She invited Basara’s hand over.

Basara’s hand slipped in and the not entirely opened space of the clothes that was different from her usual. Softly, his hand clung to the skin that’s wet with sweat.

“Nn… Aaah”

As his hand moved in further, with that, Hasegawa’s lips that were piled on with kisses let out sharp breath, aroused.

Basara arrived at the valley between the pair.

Taking off her clothes completely, the breasts that were pressed down created a deeper valley than usual.

Basara’s finger, going into the swelling.

“Aah, ah (♥)”

Hasegawa without being able to continue to kiss, held even stronger to Basara’s hand. Guiding his hand on her chest, and once it had completed its duty her arm clung to his sturdy body.

“Toujou, more, deeper… Uh, aaah (♥)”

“I understand”

Basara’s hand continued deeper, inserting itself within the bra, holding it directly inside. He touched the pressed down nipples with his fingertips.

“Ah, aaaah, nn! Nnn (♥)”

Hasegawa’s lips releasing louder sounds, were closed up by Basara’s.

Finger and finger, body and body, tongue and tongue entangled densely. The same temperature and breath, a feeling of all mixed together.

“So cute. Sensei. Those clothes, and sensei today too”

“Nn…. You don’t think of me, as weird (♥) I’m glad”

Basara and Hasegawa felt each other’s everything.

“Sensei… No, Afureia, I’m right here”

Basara said Hasegawa Chisato’s real name.

“I will never let go of you. I’m already walking in the same time as you”

“Toujou…”

Hasegawa’s eyes narrowed in happiness.

Once more, they kissed. A long, long kiss.

“Nn…”

After that, Hasegawa parted from it.

“I’m sorry”

She released her body that was glued closely to him. Spontaneously letting go of his hand.

“Sensei?”

“If it’s like this, I can’t hold back”

Hasegawa gave a bitter smile.

Basara looked blankly, but quickly turned to a similar bitter smile.

“Indeed, that’s the same for me too”

“That’s why, Toujou. From here on… Let’s be as usual? Not as me who’s jealous of those who live in the same time… But as the me who walks together with Toujou Basara.”

“Yes. You’re cute today sensei, but the usual sensei is also good”

“I’ll just say this, but being called cute is embarrassing”

She averted her eyes.

Hasegawa put her clothes back on, and let her eyes wander.

In an instant with that, the crowd returned. The barrier was taken down.

“So, like usual… Let’s go to my room.”

As she said that, she linked her arm with Basara’s.

“Yes. Let’s go, Hasegawa-sensei”

Together with Hasegawa, Basara walked towards the shopping mall exit.

“Hey, Toujou”

Hasegawa said soon after.

Looking at Basara with mischievous eyes.

“Say it one more time, my name”

Despite a slight surprise, Basara quickly adjusted his expression.

“Let’s go. Afureia”

Basara and Hasegawa once more spend their time together.

Even if they may not spend it at the same time, they are walking forward together. Not letting go of each other’s hands.

In Hasegawa, and in Basara, that feeling is engraved in their hearts.
