静かな夜の呼吸 –

Breath of a Quiet Night

深夜0時を過ぎた頃、彼からのメッセージが届いた。

Just past midnight, a message from him arrived.

「まだ起きてる？」

"Are you still up?"

いつもなら「もう寝てる時間でしょ」と軽く流すのに、今夜はなぜか指が勝手に動いて「うん」と返していた。

Usually, I'd tease him for being late. But tonight, my fingers replied on their own—"Yeah."

5分もしないうちに、彼が部屋に来た。ドアの隙間からふわりと漂う、彼の香り。

Within five minutes, he was at my door. His scent drifted in through the narrow gap.

何も言わず、ただ目を見つめ合ったまま、時間だけが静かに流れていく。

We said nothing, just stared into each other’s eyes as time passed quietly.

「…なんで来たの？」

"Why did you come?"

「会いたかったから。」

"Because I wanted to see you."

彼の声は低く、少し掠れていた。その一言だけで、心の奥が震える。

His voice was low and slightly husky. Just that one sentence made my heart tremble.

ソファに座った私の隣に、彼が静かに腰を下ろす。

He quietly sat beside me on the couch.

少しだけ触れた太ももが熱い。

Our thighs touched slightly—it felt like fire.

Suddenly, his fingers touched mine.

ゆっくり、確かめるように撫でられて、まるで心をなぞられているようだった。

He stroked gently, as if tracing the outline of my soul.

「…こんなふうに、触れたかった。」

"I wanted to touch you like this."

囁くようなその声が、耳の奥で反響する。

His whisper echoed deep inside my ears.

返事なんてできなかった。ただ、触れられて、見つめられて、呼吸が浅くなっていくのがわかる。

I couldn’t answer. Just his touch, his gaze, made my breath grow shallow.

指先が手から腕へ、肩へ、そして髪へ。

His fingers moved from my hand, to my arm, to my shoulder, then into my hair.

呼吸と呼吸が近づいて、何も考えられなくなるその瞬間――私はもう、抗えなかった。

As our breaths grew closer, my thoughts vanished—and in that moment, I couldn’t...

This outlet open till 5am, good enough for me. Causal restaurant with smoking and non smoking area, lucky that non smoking area don't smell that much unlike some other places. The price is reasonable, food taste not that bad, service good but able to see short of staff, the waitress has to do hosting, ordering and cashier. It will be good if there is english labelling in the drink bar coffee machine. Not a quiet place, but good place to dine in at late night. Near to the station,...

Originally headed to a cafe nearby station, but as it was fully packed, made a way to this location. Inside is quite a lot of seats, which was convenient when intending to stay longer time. For some reason ordering drinkbar solely was more expensive than ordering it with vanilla ice cream, however it turned out to be better than what I expected. The ice cream was rich and smooth, I would probably order this...
