Chương 1976: I'll help you out

After enjoying our meal and tidying up what we used, Anzu-nee and I moved back to their living room.

While there was a hint of awkwardness between us, that didn't become a hindrance for us to be as close as earlier. We sat down side by side on their sofa with Anzu-nee snuggled on my side while my arm was once again hooked around her waist.

Somehow, that felt more natural than earlier. Of course, she still called me a naughty brat for being frisky with her but that’s all. She neither stopped me nor distanced herself from me.

Like me, she seemed to be enjoying every second of this moment.

A while later, maybe to fend off the growing silence and awkwardness between us, Anzu-nee picked up the remote control and turned on the TV to watch whichever show was on.

We tried.

We tried concentrating on that show. Unfortunately, our heads were probably muddled with something else.
