Chapter Text
the soft chimes of the summer cicadas followed by the much-awaited summer breeze, everything around them was signaling the nearing of august
summer was one of the seasons eiichi liked the least. even though there was no threat of freezing to death in these boiling months, the rainy season along with the unbearable heat and the disgusting stink of people's unwashed skin always made eiichi detest summer.
it seemed like he was the only one in their little group to think like this, though...
summer was also the season of taking a break from school for people without any harvest to worry about such as tamamori-kun and himself, and more importantly this was the festival season tamamori-kun liked so much.
every year tamamori-kun would look out for any kind of festival there might be in huge anticipation. in rural aizu where anything exciting rarely happened, festivals were the one place where hyperactive people like tamamori-kun could enjoy a lively athmosphere to their heart's content.
this being the case, even though eiichi would very much prefer to stay somewhere more quiet and relax than mixing in with crowds, he would get dragged into any festival tamamori-kun could find by his sleeve wether he liked it or not.
at least that *should have* been the case, but eiichi never got dragged anywhere, neither did he get a knock on his door only to be greeted by sparkling eyes barely hiding their excitement. hell, he barely even saw tamamori kun that summer..
in the summer of their 3rd year of high school, tamamori-kun got himself a girlfriend.
