“So how long are you going to lie on me like this?”

She was blushing and was quite embarrassed at our current position

I'm actually wondering how she was okay with it till now. If Kisaragi-san was in her place, both of my balls would've already been crushed. Thank god she's not like her

”Sorry about this, I can move most of my body now but I'm still a little weak. I think I can get off you if both of us work together. You push me up and I'll push the ground. I can just roll over if I get some distance between us”

“Okay let's try”

She put both hands on my shoulders and pushed. I then put both hands on the road besides her shoulders to hold the weight. She now let go of her hands

It looked like I was doing push ups with her underneath

Now that there was some distance between us I could see her properly. Her long hair was scattered all over the ground and her unzipped jacket revealed her wearing a light blue slip. She was wearing nightwear underneath her outer clothes

This explains why she was covering her chest when she kicked me in the face. But now she wasn't scared of showing it to me, but was still embarrassed and was looking away

I couldn't take my eyes of her, thinking that, this girl who looked liked she wanted to kill me before was now my friend. It seemed unbelievable to me but the proof was right before my eyes looking flushed out of breath

She noticed I was staring at her so she covered my eyes with one of her hands and said

“Stop staring at me. It's weird”

“Sorry. But did you notice that our current position looks like a wall slam boys do on girls in shoujo manga”

She looked below and at my hands and said

“Aren't wall slams supposed to be on walls? This just looks like your forcing me down”

Come on! Don't ruin my cool moment with your retort

She then said

“Move away before someone gets the wrong idea”

“Gladly, I don't want to be mistaken as a pervert again”

I let go of my left hand up and let gravity roll me over to the left

Now both of us were lying on the ground, side by side looking at the night sky full of stars. It was kinda romantic but the mood would have been better if there was a grassy field below us rather than hard asphalt. I then said

“Beautiful night sky isn't it? I just want to stay like this and look at it all night”

“That's not the case for me. I've been looking at the sky the whole time and I'm sick of it. I just want to go home, take a bath and sleep. I'm exhausted”

“I also feel the same but my body is saying it doesn't want to move”

“We had a crazy night after all”

“Yeah, one of the craziest I've ever had”

She turned her head and looked at me with doubting eyes

“So almost getting killed by a truck isn't the craziest night ever for you?”

“I've done some stuff in my life that makes this look normal to me”

She turned her back towards the sky and said

“So in general you’re a pretty crazy guy. I didn't know that”

“Well you'll get to know a lot more about me and I'll get to know about you from now on, since we're friends”

She smiled when I said ‘friend's’ and said

“Yeah we're friends now”

We had a nice mood going on but it was interrupted when a car drove by in the main road

“I think we should get up now or else we'll look like a couple trying to attempt double suicide on the road”

“Yeah, I've had enough quality time with the road that should last me a lifetime”

I first stretched my body while still lying on the ground to see if I could move again and sure enough I could. Looking at the sky and talking with her must have calmed me down

I quickly got up and checked if there were any cars coming. I then looked at Akatsuki-san who was sitting on the ground with her legs stretched, struggling to get up

I reached out my hand and said

“Let me help you”

She first looked at my hand and then me and said

“Th-Thank you”

She lifted her hand towards to me and I caught it

Her hand was small and warm and had a soothing feeling to it. It was completely different from holding hands with myself

What? Why are you looking at me as if I'm some loser who holds hands with himself. I was just curious when I saw a bunch of couples do it and wanted to see how it felt

It was just for observation purposes and nothing else. You don't believe me? Fine! Suit yourself!

I tried to pull her up but stopped when she said

“Ow!”

I immediately crouched down and asked

“What happened?”

“I think I hurt my leg when I fell down”

“Where does it hurt?”

“At the back of my left foot but I can't see anything because of the darkne-”

I immediately grabbed her foot

“What are you doing?! That tickles!”

“I'm checking where you got wounded. If it's a sprain or anything serious we have to get to the hospital immediately. What about your head? Did you hit your head when you fell down? If you did you should-”

“Whoa-Whoa-Whoa stop! You don't have to worry about me. I can just handle this by myself-”

She tried to pull her leg back but I held it firmly

“You don't have to anymore!”

“Huh?”

“You have me now. I'm your friend and I want to help you. So stop carrying the burden alone and share it with me”

She stopped resisting and relaxed

“Sorry this friendship thing is still a little new to me. Before this I just toughed it out by myself whenever anything happened. So I don't know how to react when someone tries to help me”

“It’s simple. Just accept their help. Their helping because they care about you. There's nothing wrong in relying on others, so rely on me more from now on”

“I see...It does feel better now that I know I have someone to rely on”

She put her hands and chin on her raised knee and watched me check for injuries

I raised her feet a little to see the back

Unlike her hands, her feet were cold as ice. They looked spotless and didn't have any blemishes on them. Her toenails were neatly trimmed and had a healthy white tone. Her feet looked like they had pedicure done to them every day. It was like they had never touched the dirty ground since she was born. I kind of felt like a prince putting on Cinderella's glass shoe

……..!!!

WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING ABOUT!

I'm supposed to be helping her but here I am admiring her feet

Either her feet look specifically alluring to me or I had just awakened the hidden feet fetish inside of me. I kind of feel guilty now since she was looking at me with trusting eyes. She has no idea I'm having fantasies about her feet in my head

Wicked thoughts begone!

After looking properly I found the wound

“It looks like you scraped your heel. It's not too deep but it's still bleeding. But the good news is I don't have to relocate your bone since your feet are fine”

She was startled and jumped a little when I said that

“Relocate my bone!? You were going to twist my leg like you see in those movies? Your kidding right?”

With a straight face I said

“No, I was seriously going to do it”

“What!”
