The Top Idol Next Door Can't Help But Crave My Guilty Pleasure Meals-Chapter 4Volume 2 .3 - Ill wear anything for you?
ROUND 4 – I’ll wear anything for you? 3
“Alright, let’s take a picture now.”
As I moved closer to him, Suzufumi’s body twitched in response.
Hehe, he’s so shy.
This was his punishment for neglecting the popular idol next door and having fun with his childhood friend and the school sensei instead.
I turned on my idol switch and used the same chant I would at a regular photo session.
“With a dazzling smile~~! Ready… Lights★“
Snap-
After taking out the film and waiting for a while, an image of me making a peace sign toward the camera and Suzufumi looking away was revealed.
“Why are you looking away? Let’s take it again!”
“Take it again… It’s fine since I’m showing clearly in the picture.”
Looking somewhat embarrassed, Suzufumi averted his gaze from me.
I asked him a question,
“Do you have a hard time taking photos, Suzufumi?”
“It’s not that I have a hard time… It’s just that I don’t find it particularly interesting to see myself in them. I do like looking at photos of people I know, though.”
I’ve heard reasons like lacking confidence in one’s appearance or not being photogenic, but this reason seems unusual.
Come to think of it, Suzufumi’s interests always seem to be directed outward, with little care for the inward. Even his usual fashion choices don’t seem to have much care behind them.
Well, I do appreciate it when he dresses up enthusiastically like he did for our last visit to the wildlife park.
“It’s such a waste, you know. Your face isn’t that bad, Suzufumi?”
“That bad, huh?”
“Yeah, not that bad.”
I smirked mischievously, and Suzufumi responded with a resigned expression.
It seemed like it would be okay to continue the photoshoot.
Take two.
This time, I moved the camera closer to make sure Suzufumi wouldn’t escape, and we both brought our faces closer together.
Glancing to the side, I saw that Suzufumi was now properly facing the camera.
Wow, his eyelashes are so long. It’s amazing they’re natural.
And such fine skin, Even though it doesn’t look like he takes care of it every day.
Ugh, getting this close makes my heart start to race.
Even at a distance where our shoulders might touch, I wouldn’t be nervous at all if it were with a fan.
“R-ready…?”
Snap-
The second photo was developed. Suzufumi was looking at the camera, but my expression was awkward this time.
Maybe we should take another one…
But there’s only one set of film in the camera. With ten shots per set, that leaves us with just eight more.
Somehow, it feels like it’s not enough to win Suzufumi over.
No, why am I feeling so timid?
I am the flawless idol Arisu Yuzuki.
I’ll charm Suzufumi into becoming a fan with the remaining eight shots!
I placed my hand on the doorknob connecting the living room and the hallway.
“I’ll go change in the bedroom, so wait for me!”
“We’re going to take more pictures?”
Suzufumi was already regaining his composure.
His adaptability is too high—That’s why I need to dazzle him with a variety of outfits and poses!
I decided to release all the clothes that had been sitting in my closet for a while.
Chinese dresses, pajamas, party dresses, anime character costumes. Swimsuits… let’s pass on that.
Honestly, it was starting to feel like a cosplay photo session.
I love being photographed. It’s fun to try on different outfits and study angles, and above all, it feels great when I look good in a photo.
The sense of fulfillment captured on a single piece of film makes my heart leap every time I see it.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
So I’d be happy if the person in the photo with me felt the same way.
“Hey Suzufumi, are you having fun right now?”
“I’m having fun watching Yuzuki.”
“…Is that so.”
Even in moments like this, Suzufumi still takes my feelings into consideration.
The film was quickly down to the last two shots.
I was supposed to be the one making Suzufumi a fan, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying myself.
“Sorry for making you go along with this?”
“It’s fine. I’m glad I could help you feel better, Yuzuki. You’ve been looking pretty busy with work lately.”
“…you could tell?”
“Well, just a feeling. Anything happen?”
The smile had faded from his face.
He was trying to appear casual, but I think he was quite concerned.
It would be insincere to him if I dodged the question now.
“…Ruru-san’s gaze has become a bit stern Lately. She’s with me all the time on set, almost like a bodyguard. I’m happy that she cares about me, but to be honest, it feels a little suffocating.”
“…If that’s the case, then it’s probably my fault.”
“No, it’s not. Ruru-san is just a worrier. Besides, she’ll understand in time that Suzufumi isn’t as much of a playboy as she thinks.”
“I don’t have even a millimeter of memory of being a playboy, though?”
Casual conversations with him like these are fun.
It’s more healing for my heart and body than any first-class body care from a masseur or sleeping on a luxury pillow.
“That’s right. Since we’re at it, why don’t you make a costume request, Suzufumi? I’ll wear anything for you?”
I send a deliberately meaningful glance his way.
I wonder what kind of outfits Suzufumi likes.
Casual? Girly? Outdoor? Or maybe something elegant?
What if he says he wants me to wear a swimsuit or lingerie? I don’t think Suzufumi would ever say that, but…
When I glance up, Suzufumi shows the biggest smile of the day.
“Oh, you’ll wear anything for me?”
A smile that says he’s been waiting for this moment.
Could it be that I’ve been played all along?
Did he pretend to be disinterested on purpose to get me to make a request?
The corners of Suzufumi’s lips rise even more.
“Well then, since we’re at it──”
I’m speechless at the request he makes.
★ ★ ★
That evening.
Lying in bed, I gently stroke a plump cat piggy bank.
On my other hand is a photograph. The last shot we took earlier.
In the photo, Suzufumi and I are dressed in Orikita High School uniforms.
Suzufumi’s request was to wear the school uniform.
『Why don’t we take a picture together in uniform? Just like those photo sticker booths at the arcade.』
His suggestion was so unexpected that I couldn’t find the words immediately.
『…Are you sure? You’re okay with that?』
『That’s exactly what I want. Because we can’t do that outside, can we?』
In the photo, Suzufumi and I are shoulder to shoulder while smiling and flashing peace signs.
It’s a photo that seems like one of the tens of thousands, millions even—something that exists without anything noteworthy.
Yet, this ordinary scene feels incredibly precious.
We took two photos in the uniforms, deciding to keep one each.
Suzufumi always teaches me the fun of everyday life.
Eating, playing, taking detours after school, going out.
And also—falling in love.
“Thank you, Suzufumi…”
Holding the photo to my chest, I fall asleep.
