練習室裡傳來吉野的歌聲。ソテツ背靠著牆,閉眼聽著。166Please respect copyright.PENANApf96briD3g
已經不知道多久沒在舞台上聽見吉野的歌了,怪想念的。166Please respect copyright.PENANAa8ksfKZTWf
166Please respect copyright.PENANA36UqnBkTb0
「ソテツ在睡覺嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANARN4Cr4E2so
身邊傳來了某人打呵欠的聲音,是メノウ。166Please respect copyright.PENANACYPTPNXUr7
166Please respect copyright.PENANARNZRCUH5co
「我可不想被メノウ你問這種問題。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAKAbjcbnBKn
166Please respect copyright.PENANAAkGRaNGnSO
「是嗎,我還以為ソテツ也打算在走廊上睡覺呢。ソテツ如果在這裡睡著的話,大家都會過不了路的吧。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAh5fIgIJfIN
「論擋路的話メノウ也一樣不是嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAc4YTSzv9cs
166Please respect copyright.PENANAnLHhuXYHvm
我有好好睡到旁邊喔。メノウ一邊說一邊坐在地上伸懶腰,接著將本來當作被單的外套穿上。166Please respect copyright.PENANAaFnW3GEkZR
166Please respect copyright.PENANAxwDgy6rLHU
「ソテツ跟吉野做過了嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANA0PoW2JbgQ4
原以為メノウ會就睡覺的話題再多說些甚麼,但沒想到接著的會是這句。166Please respect copyright.PENANApxfsDEB05P
166Please respect copyright.PENANA12q2OEtaSt
「話題也跳太多了吧。」ソテツ撇了一眼練習室裡頭,沾了污漬的玻璃後是正忙著做發聲練習,無暇顧及門外的吉野。「你那邊才是,之前說要跟リンドウ變得要好,現在怎樣了?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAtMcI6vy9nG
166Please respect copyright.PENANAgLKumraoFd
「嗯……還有點困難,リンドウ雖然看起來很好說話,但卻很固執呢。」メノウ抱著抱枕,身體輕輕搖晃著,不知道是因為睡的不夠還是真的因為リンドウ的事而感到棘手,眉頭深鎖著。166Please respect copyright.PENANAwoOgWA2gA2
166Please respect copyright.PENANAq8APJGp78L
「吉野也是這樣對吧?」メノウ問。166Please respect copyright.PENANAA1FNRND6ir
166Please respect copyright.PENANAwDYd5JR764
是啊,吉野雖然看起來很怯弱,但一旦決定了方向就絕對不會迷惘,脾氣硬得讓人困擾……166Please respect copyright.PENANAXNhJYIJaU3
但是這種話可不能對別人說。166Please respect copyright.PENANA3zIcloRtbh
166Please respect copyright.PENANAF5oQPwOgGD
「跟リンドウ比起來,吉野好多了。他知道自己想要甚麼。」166Please respect copyright.PENANALRaiPNK5tx
「嗯~比如甚麼?ソテツ的示好總是帶著捉弄之類的事情嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANA4VuEzAQKVx
166Please respect copyright.PENANAXhaVXG2IXw
所以吉野對你總是很警戒呢。メノウ一臉笑意地說。166Please respect copyright.PENANAEXO8Za9EZI
166Please respect copyright.PENANAmxg7g385da
「這話聽得耳朵真痛。要來比一場嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANApYraggiKTw
166Please respect copyright.PENANAOmJkAf8T4u
メノウ仰起頭看著ソテツ說:「但是我不想跟ソテツ在舞台以外的地方打架。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAyA2If2YwXL
「蛤?跟現在的你打架感覺像在欺負小孩一樣,找ミズキ還比較有趣。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAx6ntG9FoS0
166Please respect copyright.PENANA3vE7ypYvNi
要比的是誰率先攻陷各自的「目標」。166Please respect copyright.PENANAPudEtoIwYP
166Please respect copyright.PENANACjS41SBxLw
「判斷標準是甚麼?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAKTDYyeJ14f
「在下個假日跟對方一起去約會,如何?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAiJoX8cPs4m
166Please respect copyright.PENANAHqXGz4TPxs
「從ソテツ口中聽到『約會』而不是『做愛』,總覺得純情到可疑。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAYXOQZgeZWf
「約會之後不做愛反而比較奇怪不是嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAr8NNY8hWKY
166Please respect copyright.PENANAJfxQZM1dMI
「呼啊……ソテツ還真有信心呢。」メノウ打了個呵欠,瞇著眼睛,用含糊的聲音說:「但是約會的話我也不會輸。畢竟リンドウ他總會給我回應。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAibspPlyCjp
166Please respect copyright.PENANAAXVnAXYXui
「雖然會給出回應,但總會在緊要關頭巧妙地繞開不是嗎?我可不打沒有勝算的架。」166Please respect copyright.PENANA18iFFwDRnR
說完話之後,メノウ那邊卻沒有任何反應。166Please respect copyright.PENANAGpfUwn0TBs
166Please respect copyright.PENANACrrwSKs17s
ソテツ低頭一看,只見メノウ下巴撐在抱枕上,腦袋一點一點的,像是隨時會連人帶抱枕一起往前趴倒在地上的樣子。166Please respect copyright.PENANASW0iPxSgjI
166Please respect copyright.PENANAryfPlKPVxe
「你該不會睡著了吧?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAnhXgz3GVE6
「……抱歉,因為話題太無聊了。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAqBhvPFGBmy
166Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ3Lk9UWbB
先開口挑釁的不是你嗎?ソテツ頓時感到好氣又好笑。166Please respect copyright.PENANAgpRXEesmNj
「那我贏了的話你要做甚麼?把リンドウ給我?」166Please respect copyright.PENANARhMgZygJDn
166Please respect copyright.PENANA5260sOW3AN
「明明都有吉野了,ソテツ真的很差勁呢。」166Please respect copyright.PENANApdryWAESQ7
「跟リンドウ一起的時候也很有趣。メノウ你也知道的吧?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAv49Xv0dzUe
166Please respect copyright.PENANAo9FaDmnzOS
「真是惡趣味呢。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAu7BC6nQS06
「這是剛才的回敬。」166Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pfd148gAg
166Please respect copyright.PENANA9gX45iqb3N
就這樣,帶著對情感的褻瀆開始了他和メノウ的賭局。166Please respect copyright.PENANAKD6IOSXue4
雖然很粗暴,但他本來就不是跟純潔沾得上邊的人,在這間店裡,再怎麼純粹的東西都會變的混濁,而他跟吉野之間更是如此。166Please respect copyright.PENANAPb6XNBGLcw
166Please respect copyright.PENANA80lHgRsPgE
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKwFPrBeC5I
「這個假日有沒有安排?是沒有,不過ソテツ為甚麼要問這個問題?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAGat2h15My3
吉野拿著拖把往後退了幾步,雖然常常在走路時「忽視」階梯的存在,但對ソテツ的意圖卻特別敏感。166Please respect copyright.PENANA16IJEl1vAq
166Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tlg8Kqsc7
「嘛,只是想去個需要有伴才能去的地方,吉野如果不願意的話也無所謂。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAQlVs5IU2xg
166Please respect copyright.PENANAXfZnidO872
「ソテツ的話應該不缺伴不是嗎?不找我也無所謂吧。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAIb3Kkpc1Nw
但不是吉野的話就沒有意義了。166Please respect copyright.PENANAtnmsNJa1YF
166Please respect copyright.PENANAiVsz8d2erX
——會輸了賭局。166Please respect copyright.PENANAC0du6lIOPE
166Please respect copyright.PENANA6o7k1NtDmI
跟吉野相比,リンドウ確實比較好說話,但他跟吉野之間的關係和メノウ跟リンドウ間的關係不一樣。166Please respect copyright.PENANARA9ryXOQTj
他有著メノウ所沒有的東西。166Please respect copyright.PENANAsWK3lgscbS
166Please respect copyright.PENANAAt8gwmvMO2
「嗯,リンドウ應該會很樂意跟我一起去的。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAg5m39Tchri
166Please respect copyright.PENANAQoHNGebTSp
在メノウ對周遭不感興趣的同時,ソテツ積累了許多能做為籌碼的過去。ソテツ看著吉野五味雜陳的表情想。166Please respect copyright.PENANAh0Mj5PT8UE
他可不找沒有勝算的架。166Please respect copyright.PENANAwbY7STtexN
166Please respect copyright.PENANA5d9J7SMyC7
「ソテツ到底想去哪裡?」吉野重重的嘆了口氣,放棄掙扎。166Please respect copyright.PENANAskn0Uo2Stu
166Please respect copyright.PENANAiMHkkmTjMh
「我跟リンドウ一起的話,會去那裡你應該很清楚的吧?」ソテツ走近吉野,將他困在牆邊,呼吸貼著吉野的頭髮,而吉野則拿著拖把站著,表情一點變化也沒有。166Please respect copyright.PENANASWVEBxwfvO
不管和那雙眼對上幾次都是一樣的結果。吉野和他已經熟悉到不會因為這點接觸而動搖,視線不會錯開,臉頰也不會染上一點紅暈。166Please respect copyright.PENANAtLobUdpz4S
166Please respect copyright.PENANAd2TFYY5cx9
已經熟稔到說不出喜惡,只是習慣。166Please respect copyright.PENANAy0EUPng3Mn
166Please respect copyright.PENANA7BozkryShN
「……甜點店的話你自己也能去不是嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAOhFdZ4iCle
「我這張臉去那種店會嚇壞其他人的。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAbAxCwErc7D
曖昧的口吻只是捉弄吉野的把戲,而吉野也早在多次的惡作劇中找到ソテツ的偏好,毫不留情地戳破他。166Please respect copyright.PENANAXhcW3joRoo
166Please respect copyright.PENANA4MzsJ1xeyg
「幾點?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAuGBJGzPb9M
「下午四點,街上新開的甜點店。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAtCFNfOvfGB
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKniTfO4u3a
「就只有這些?」166Please respect copyright.PENANArMa3BWeLrY
當然,不只。166Please respect copyright.PENANAlHjwIRqhML
166Please respect copyright.PENANAzTmhtJjiY8
吉野嘆了口氣,回了一句我知道了。166Please respect copyright.PENANAk4m5nnU9Zp
166Please respect copyright.PENANAGu2ADWKWIq
考慮到吉野拒絕他的情況,他還準備了別的說詞,但這些說詞在說出口之前吉野大概也知道了。166Please respect copyright.PENANAAPvLaDZsrc
166Please respect copyright.PENANAxaryg1HxVd
因為對彼此的反應太過熟悉,反而難以分辨對方到底是因為有意而答應了邀約,還是單純看透了後面的籌碼而做的答覆。166Please respect copyright.PENANAyXwOHhLkMP
166Please respect copyright.PENANAo3aVGHTs3J
他的思考是吉野棋盤上被看穿計策,即將被困死的白方,吉野總能看出他話語中的意圖——近乎本能的。166Please respect copyright.PENANAej0SOUPjaT
不過他並不是會禮貌地坐在桌前等著吉野將死他的人,所以不管吉野多麼了解他,對ソテツ在棋盤外的行動依然束手無策。166Please respect copyright.PENANAsVICppQ4yo
166Please respect copyright.PENANAiODTHheoDL
「紅酒跟烤牛肉,還有甚麼?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAToRXE22ldp
「甜點店是不會有這些東西的吧?」吉野有些無奈地笑了笑。166Please respect copyright.PENANA0RnYORprH1
166Please respect copyright.PENANAamRdcJxWbm
「這是晚上的事情。還是說吉野想直接開始?」166Please respect copyright.PENANA0R3Dpi6RMI
「別說得像約會一樣,我們又不是這種關係。你對リンドウ也不會這樣不是嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANADvxQY11ivK
166Please respect copyright.PENANAHXHvQFF3ok
「吃醋了?還是說約リンドウ一起會比較好?」166Please respect copyright.PENANA8PDM9arOEV
「ソテツ真的很差勁呢。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAsupvjA7Yzw
166Please respect copyright.PENANAL9z9evOOhX
「我是怎樣的人,吉野你不是最清楚的嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANA1udEcfFRgF
挑選對方覺得親近的人下手,把那些純粹的友誼和依賴變成扭曲的忌妒和愧疚感,染上混亂的色彩,他並不是吉野的同伴,但吉野除了他以外也沒有其他選擇,在所有人眼裡,他跟吉野無關情感的鎖在一塊。166Please respect copyright.PENANAtH0DTtUwXu
166Please respect copyright.PENANAnvw8bF2rh3
「沒有其他事情的話,我要先離開了,等會還要去幫運営的忙。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAuX7CAfj2zx
ソテツ往後退了幾步,給吉野讓出路。166Please respect copyright.PENANAY0YURxxEpK
166Please respect copyright.PENANAUyc46SQun7
「別忘記假日的事。」ソテツ看著吉野的背影說道。166Please respect copyright.PENANA00GenS39qe
166Please respect copyright.PENANAl6ueXyEyM4
遠遠的,他看到吉野轉頭看他。帶著一點不滿,也或許還有一點妥協。166Please respect copyright.PENANAbm1EEBfjEN
166Please respect copyright.PENANAYhWzraUL4r
他跟吉野都已經放棄了那些乾淨漂亮的事物,不變的只有從初次見面至今吉野的面孔,其他部分早已隨著時間流逝而成熟,步向腐敗。166Please respect copyright.PENANADpwdEfkhMg
166Please respect copyright.PENANAC17hw8SCQq
166Please respect copyright.PENANAPaAzPkCKtv
「吉野,看這邊。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAb059hppjA1
趁著吉野抬起頭的瞬間,按下手機拍攝鍵,把吉野嘴角沾著蛋糕奶油的模樣保存下來。166Please respect copyright.PENANA5PeSO34Gbi
166Please respect copyright.PENANAoxyRlTYhaZ
「把照片刪掉」,一般人應該會這麼回應吧,但吉野只是面不改色地將嘴角的奶油擦掉,問ソテツ叫他要做甚麼。166Please respect copyright.PENANAvcKISLoQez
166Please respect copyright.PENANAWcAIWcszbn
ソテツ沒有回應,而是用手指了指左邊的臉頰,示意吉野臉上還沾著奶油。166Please respect copyright.PENANAOoW6n9yfXU
而吉野也順著ソテツ手指的方向伸手擦臉,卻甚麼都沒摸著。166Please respect copyright.PENANAB9XJUucYbC
166Please respect copyright.PENANAJpnhzS0vbP
「啊,抱歉抱歉,是另一邊才對。」ソテツ毫無歉意地說著,伸手將吉野臉上的奶油抹開,在他頰上劃出一抹白,沾在拇指上的部分則被ソテツ舔去。166Please respect copyright.PENANAdi0lrYnWz9
166Please respect copyright.PENANAD1vCOi4Tk0
對於ソテツ的捉弄,吉野嘆了口氣,拿起紙巾將臉上打理乾淨,但臉上殘存的觸感似乎讓他很是介意,對ソテツ說了一聲之後便去了洗手間。166Please respect copyright.PENANAr7uwTZNmFY
離開之前將桌上的紅茶挪了挪位置,有些警惕地看著ソテツ。166Please respect copyright.PENANAerqblfu0Ij
166Please respect copyright.PENANAFTYoc8GWvG
「我甚麼都不會做的。」ソテツ朝吉野攤開手,手中空無一物,除了ソテツ自己之外,沒有其他能夠威脅吉野的事物。166Please respect copyright.PENANAvHs8QrGSMS
166Please respect copyright.PENANAOwrLiJWaei
只要靠ソテツ自己就足夠了。166Please respect copyright.PENANAxkIOmsNKQw
166Please respect copyright.PENANAph3DXogIod
吉野不太放心地轉過身。而就如同吉野所擔心的那樣,ソテツ在吉野一走進洗手間後便對紅茶動了手腳。166Please respect copyright.PENANAAt2hY9LXaR
雖然只靠自己就夠了,但這並不妨礙他為接下來的夜晚增加些變化和樂趣。166Please respect copyright.PENANAbj8twHT8Fk
166Please respect copyright.PENANAgHIuEZrojs
ソテツ跟吉野現在所在的地方是在餐廳往車站的路上新開的甜點店,之前曾聽客人談論過這個地方,說是氛圍很適合吉野。166Please respect copyright.PENANABwrSqhAwnz
適合客人所認識的吉野的地方,換句話說就是不適合ソテツ進入的場合,妝點和吉野髮色相襯的花朵,粉嫩的果實和毛茸茸的布偶,就像從前的吉野那樣,帶著花朵初綻的光采和純真。166Please respect copyright.PENANAMpSNw8onRN
166Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pq7ToLxbL
實際進入店裡時,吉野和ソテツ兩人也確實受到不少注目,像是他對吉野做了甚麼似的,店裡的客人對ソテツ投以質疑的眼光。166Please respect copyright.PENANAOjIuWaw2gG
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKS3fcQZKrN
如果這時點了滿桌的甜點的話,或許還能當作帶著可愛嗜好的壯漢吧,但可惜的是,在兩人桌上出現的只有兩杯飲料,和吉野點的千層蛋糕而已。加上直到現在ソテツ所表現出來的行為,對吉野的戲弄,趁著吉野不在時對吉野留下的茶杯做的事,全都可疑的讓旁人朝吉野露出擔憂的表情。166Please respect copyright.PENANAIJkfPQJBGt
166Please respect copyright.PENANAZH53RYFEls
換作是店裡,氣氛就不同了,不管他做出甚麼樣的事情,大家還是會將他視為吉野的同伴——除了吉野本人以外。166Please respect copyright.PENANAF3DxnrSpoI
166Please respect copyright.PENANAGB9iCQOYN0
「歡迎回來,吉野。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAeVHGEsqojJ
「嗯。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAftIKIdDVeh
166Please respect copyright.PENANAnO5GGICG1F
吉野看著桌上的茶杯,杯子明顯的被移動過位置,本該朝向吉野的杯耳,在吉野回到座位後轉向了ソテツ,變化鮮明的讓人可疑。166Please respect copyright.PENANAGRLqk8rhjE
而始作俑者的ソテツ則坐在對面,看著吉野豎起警戒心的緊張樣子。166Please respect copyright.PENANAy12npP9Bfk
166Please respect copyright.PENANAzHYQDr0jDy
「我甚麼都沒做喔。」他挑了挑眉。166Please respect copyright.PENANAhTTeBMfsJN
166Please respect copyright.PENANAkKcI89g6bh
來賭賭看吧,你對我有多麼了解。166Please respect copyright.PENANAQFI90A6uug
166Please respect copyright.PENANAUfhHMG8TS5
「ソテツ確實甚麼都沒做,你只是喜歡捉弄人,看人緊張的樣子而已。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAjHjgKX23dB
166Please respect copyright.PENANAm0gRRFAVkE
吉野站在桌邊,盯著杯中僅存的紅茶。166Please respect copyright.PENANAZC2N6kt1w0
因為ソテツ可能的作怪而退縮,或是乾脆地將紅茶喝下表示自己的強硬,他會選擇哪邊呢?166Please respect copyright.PENANAonMDIA8piC
166Please respect copyright.PENANAF1S4hN6fsC
吉野沒有伸手去碰茶杯,而是抬手喚來了服務生準備結帳。166Please respect copyright.PENANAWs2Tdfi1Vt
166Please respect copyright.PENANAdyAl8jsGHf
「吉野不相信我嗎?真叫人傷心。」166Please respect copyright.PENANANMECB8BieS
「我為甚麼不相信ソテツ,你自己應該是最清楚的。」166Please respect copyright.PENANA46lEcQrKhL
166Please respect copyright.PENANAX5am79VtZa
「也才發生過一次而已,吉野你後來也很開心不是嗎?」166Please respect copyright.PENANA0TsPdAOcA5
只要一次就夠了。吉野撇開視線回道。166Please respect copyright.PENANAqdbDRerwk1
166Please respect copyright.PENANAHH67oq75Rs
「那差不多該走了吧。」ソテツ從服務生手上接下帳單:「今天的算我吧。」166Please respect copyright.PENANAs2DCIrOzMS
166Please respect copyright.PENANA9KSHI4jdze
「嗯。」吉野看著他,對ソテツ的招待沒有任何意見。畢竟彼此都知道這世上沒有白吃的午餐,ソテツ必定會在別的地方拿回他的損失,他們之間步連謝意都不存在。166Please respect copyright.PENANAyt17KrVMcq
166Please respect copyright.PENANA3fV0VSrW9K
在走向櫃檯時,ソテツ聽見身後傳來杯盤碰撞的聲音。166Please respect copyright.PENANA8TUZ1pIzRt
結果還是喝了呢。ソテツ勾起嘴角。166Please respect copyright.PENANASvAXyvgqZ2
