[00:03] Hotaru
    I always thought I'd never be able
    to fall in love,
[00:07] Hotaru
    but now, for the first time in
    my life, I have a boyfriend.
SIGN    Episode 2
SIGN    My First Boyfriend
[01:51] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun! Good morning.
[01:54] Hananoi
    Good morning, Hotaru-chan.
[01:57] Hotaru
    Starting today, I'm his girlfriend.
[02:02] Hotaru
    This is Hananoi-kun from the class next door.
[02:05] Hotaru
    He asked me out the day after we met.
    You could say he's something of an odd duck.
[02:11] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Do you think even I might
    fall in love someday?
[02:15] (Flashback) Hananoi
    I know you will.
[02:17] Hotaru
    With just those few words,
    Hananoi-kun gave me so much courage.
[02:24] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun?
[02:26] Hananoi
    An angel.
[02:31] Hotaru
    An angel?
[02:32] Hananoi
    Oh, sorry.
[02:33] Hananoi
    Did I say that out loud?
[02:35] Hotaru
    He is just a little strange.
[02:38] Hotaru
    It sure got a lot colder today.
[02:45] Hananoi
    Huh? Hotaru-chan, don't you have gloves?
[02:49] Hotaru
    I was running late and forgot them.
[02:51] Hananoi
    Are you okay?
[02:53] Hananoi
    You can use mine if you want.
[02:56] Hotaru
    Thanks! But I run warm anyway,
    so I'll be fine.
[03:01] Hananoi
    Okay...
[03:02] Hotaru
    What? Did I say something wrong?
[03:05] Hotaru
    Come to think of it...
[03:07] (Flashback) Hibiki
    You gotta be careful when you're dating.
[03:10] (Flashback) Hibiki
    Don't wanna embarrass your
    boyfriend or anything.
[03:14] Boy student
    Here. Take this.
[03:16] Boy student
    I'll let you use it.
[03:18] Girl student
    Thanks! It's so warm!
[03:21] Hotaru
    I see.
[03:22] Hotaru
    Maybe now that we're dating,
    I can't keep behaving the same way.
[03:28] Hotaru
    And so...
[03:30] Hotaru
    I would like to discuss our
    policies going forward.
[03:35] Hananoi
    Policies?
[03:36] Hananoi
    Huh?
[03:37] Hotaru
    What do you do when you're going out?
[03:40] Hotaru
    Don't you have goals and things
    you want to do with a girlfriend?
[03:45] Hananoi
    Uh... I guess so.
[03:48] Hananoi
    I guess eventually getting buried next
    to each other would make me happy.
[03:55] Hotaru
    It's over before it even started.
[03:57] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun, that's not what I mean!
[04:00] Hotaru
    More like, you know, normal kissing
    and hugging, whispering sweet nothings,
[04:03] Hotaru
    and fooling around and stuff!
[04:04] Hananoi
    You want to fool around with me, Hotaru-chan?
[04:08] Hotaru
    Fool... Fool around?
[04:11] Hotaru
    F-Foo... Foola round? Foo la round?
[04:11] Hananoi
    Listen, we don't have to rush things.
[04:13] Hananoi
    You can just be your usual self.
[04:16] Hananoi
    I'm the one who's trying
    to get you to you love me.
[04:21] Student
    I'm so tired...
[04:25] Hotaru
    Is it really okay for me to just do nothing?
[04:28] Tsukiha
    I never dreamed you two would
    actually start dating.
[04:33] Hibiki
    I, for one, still don't accept it!
[04:36] Tsukiha
    And you are?
[04:37] Hibiki
    Even if it's just a trial run,
    taking my dear Hotaru like this...
[04:41] Hotaru
    I think I'm just letting Hananoi-kun
    spoil me with his love.
[04:46] Hotaru
    I feel like I should be doing my part too.
[04:50] Hotaru
    So I can learn... what
    it feels like to like someone.
[04:58] Hotaru
    So, anyway, what is a girlfriend
     supposed to do?
[05:01] Hibiki
    Oh boy...
[05:01] Tsukiha
    You're so naive.
SIGN    The Next Day
[05:05] Hotaru
    Okay, Hananoi-kun.
[05:07] Hotaru
    See you on the way home.
[05:08] Hananoi
    Um, Hotaru-chan,
    I'd like to give you these first.
[05:15] Hotaru
    What are all these notebooks?
[05:17] Hananoi
    Finals are coming up, so I took notes on
     likely questions for each subject yesterday.
[05:22] Hotaru
    For each subject? You mean every single one?
    And all in one day?!
[05:25] Hananoi
    I worked hard.
[05:28] Hotaru
    Wow... Thank you.
[05:34] Hotaru
    Um, did you stay up all ni—
[05:36] Hananoi
    Oh, that's the bell.
[05:39] Hananoi
    Homeroom's about to start. See you.
[05:42] Hotaru
    U-Um, wait. Hananoi-kun!
[05:47] Hotaru
    I've gotta do something girlfriendy.
    Something girlfriendy...
SIGN    "Bye-bye,
    darling"?
SIGN    A kiss?
SIGN    A hug?
[05:50] Hotaru
    Something girlfriendy!
[06:04] Hananoi
    Bye for now. See you after school.
[06:13] Tsukiha
    These notes are incredible.
    They're super easy to understand.
[06:17] Hotaru
    I'm really grateful, but it's starting
    to feel like he's spoiling me too much.
[06:22] Tsukiha
    When you like someone,
    don't you want to do everything for them?
[06:25] Hibiki
    Yeah, but isn't this kinda overdoing it?
[06:29] Hotaru
    You want to do everything, huh?
[06:31] Hotaru
    It's been like this
    since the hairpin incident.
[06:34] Hotaru
    But he keeps telling me
    I don't need to do anything...
[06:39] Girl student
    Then I'll give you this.
[06:41] Boy student
    Here, to pay you back.
[06:43] Girl student
    Oh, yay!
[06:44] Boy student
    What are your favorites?
[06:45] Hotaru
    I'm just taking.
[06:48] Hotaru
    It's only a trial, but shouldn't
     both people be having fun
[06:53] Hotaru
    when you're going out together?
[07:02] Hibiki
    You'll be fine! You've got what it takes.
[07:05] Tsukiha
    Yeah, I don't think we need to worry.
[07:07] Hotaru
    Sorry I'm such an amateur at love.
[07:10] Hotaru
    But I still can't figure out
    what I'm supposed to do.
[07:14] Tsukiha
    If you want to do more than just receive,
[07:16] Tsukiha
    why not try doing some of the same things for Hananoi-san that he's done for you?
[07:24] Hotaru
    Of course...
[07:27] Hotaru
    See you later!
[07:29] Hotaru
    I left half an hour early,
    which should be plenty of time.
[07:33] Hotaru
    When I thought about it,
[07:34] Hotaru
    I realized that Hananoi-kun
    is always waiting for me.
[07:38] Hotaru
    I wonder if he'll be surprised
    to find me waiting for him.
[07:42] Hotaru
    I can't make nice study guides for him,
[07:45] Hotaru
    but this is something I can do!
[07:47] Hananoi
    Oh? Hotaru-chan?
[07:49] Hananoi
    Good morning. You sure are early today.
[07:52] Hotaru
    This is harder than I thought!
SIGN    The Second Morning
[07:58] Hotaru
    Forty-five minutes early...
[08:00] Hotaru
    I'll definitely get there first today.
[08:03] Hananoi
    Good morning, Hotaru-chan.
SIGN    The Third Morning
[08:08] Hotaru
    M-Maybe if I'm an hour early.
[08:11] Hotaru
    This time for sure!
[08:13] Hananoi
    Good morning, Hotaru-chan.
[08:15] Hotaru
    H-Hananoi-kun, how long
     have you been waiting?
[08:20] Hananoi
    I just got here.
[08:24] Hotaru
    You big liar.
[08:27] Hotaru
    If you keep coming out
     to wait in the cold, you'll get sick!
[08:31] Hananoi
    But I want to spend every
    second I can with you.
[08:36] Hotaru
    E-Every second?
[08:40] Hotaru
    I'm sorry, but I still don't understand
    what that feels like yet.
[08:47] Hotaru
    Is this okay?
[08:49] Hotaru
    Am I really going to be able
    to fall in love like this?
SIGN    The Fourth Morning
[08:56] Hotaru
    Two hours early!
[08:59] Hotaru
    At this point, I'm just being stubborn, but...
[09:02] Hotaru
    Let's see!
[09:05] Hotaru
    All right! I win!
[09:09] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun always sits here reading
    a book while he waits for me.
[09:18] Hotaru
    It's so quiet.
[09:22] Hotaru
    I wonder how he'll react
    when he finds me waiting for him.
[09:25] Hotaru
    He was so insistent on getting here
    first, I wonder if he'll be angry.
[09:29] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan!
[09:30] Hotaru
    I wonder what he's like when he's mad...
[09:34] Hotaru
    Or will he be surprised? Will he be happy?
[09:38] Hotaru
    Will he get here soon?
[09:42] Hotaru
    Oh, did I just...
[09:46] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[09:47] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun! Good morning!
[09:49] Hotaru
    He's here a lot sooner than I expected!
[09:52] Hananoi
    What are you doing here so early?
[09:55] Hotaru
    Um, I wanted to do something g-girlfriendy,
[10:00] Hotaru
    so I thought it might be nice
    to wait for you for a change.
[10:04] Hotaru
    I didn't realize you got here
     this early every day.
[10:08] Hotaru
    A-Are you mad at me?
[10:10] Hananoi
    No, of course not.
[10:12] Hananoi
    I'm just surprised. Nobody's
    ever waited for me before.
[10:18] Hotaru
    Um, listen.
[10:20] Hotaru
    While I was waiting, I got all
    excited imagining how you'd react.
[10:26] Hotaru
    Waiting for someone is lots of fun!
[10:33] Hananoi
    You were thinking about me
     while you waited?
[10:38] Hananoi
    I see...
[10:40] Hotaru
    He looks overjoyed.
[10:44] Hotaru
    I did something that made
    someone really happy...
[10:48] Hotaru
    I've never done that before.
    It kind of makes me happy too.
[10:54] Hotaru
    I'm so thrilled.
[10:56] Hotaru
    I think I understand how it feels
    to be a girlfriend a little bit now.
[11:02] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan, are you okay?
[11:04] Hananoi
    I'm so sorry. I made you
    wait out here in the col—
[11:10] Hotaru
    See? It makes you worry, right?
[11:12] Hotaru
    Waiting for two hours is just too long.
[11:16] Hotaru
    Wanna hit the corner store to warm up?
[11:18] Hananoi
    Yeah.
[11:19] Hotaru
    Hananoi-kun, I want to see
    you happy a lot more.
[11:30] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan?
[11:32] Hananoi
    What are you writing?
[11:34] Hotaru
    I had a great idea.
SIGN    Things We Want to Do
[11:37] Hananoi
    "Things we want to do"?
[11:39] Hotaru
    I just bought it.
[11:42] Hotaru
    What would you say to writing down things
    we want to do together in this notebook?
[11:48] Hotaru
    Then we can make good on them in turns.
[11:53] Hotaru
    Slowly, like beginners.
    We'll start with the easy things.
SIGN    I want to get croquettes at the butcher shop by the station after school with you
SIGN    Let's find more foods we both like
[12:06] Hotaru
    What do you think?
[12:08] Hananoi
    This'll be a piece of cake.
[12:11] Hotaru
    You should write one right now too.
[12:25] Hotaru
    Is that all you want?
[12:28] Hotaru
    You sure don't ask for much.
[12:31] Hotaru
    Piece of cake!
SIGN    I want
SIGN    to hold hands
SIGN    while walking
[12:51] Hotaru
    That day, when I took Hananoi-kun's
    hand for the first time,
[12:55] Hotaru
    it was a little cold and bigger than mine.
[12:59] Hotaru
    I was holding a boy's hand.
[13:12] Hananoi
    I want...
SIGN    Things We Want to Do
[13:14] Hananoi
    a lot more than you realize.
SIGN    I want to make you mine alone
[13:20] Hotaru
    It's already been three weeks
    since Hananoi-kun and I started temporarily
SIGN    I want to get croquettes at the butcher shop by the station
     after school with you
[13:24] Hotaru
    quote, unquote "dating."
[13:27] Hotaru & Hananoi
    Let's eat!
[13:30] Hotaru
    Day by day,
[13:33] Hotaru
    just a little at a time,
[13:35] Hotaru
    spending time with him is starting
    to feel more and more natural.
[13:39] Hotaru
    I braced myself at first,
[13:41] Hotaru
    thinking we might do the things
    lovers do since we're going out.
SIGN    I want to spend Christmas Eve with you
[13:45] Hotaru
    But Hananoi-kun's requests
    are always very gentle.
[13:49] Hotaru
    I thought things might just continue
    to pass this quiet, peaceful way
[13:55] Hotaru
    until we reached our Christmas
    expiration date. And yet...
[14:00] Hibiki
    Here, Hotaru. Your present.
[14:02] Hotaru
    Wow!
[14:03] Hibiki
    Since I can't see you on Christmas Eve.
[14:05] Hotaru
    Thank you!
[14:06] Hibiki
    By the way, isn't your time
    with Hananoi-kun up on Christmas?
[14:10] Hotaru
    Yeah.
SIGN    See you
SIGN    Have a great year!
[14:12] Hotaru
    Only three more days...
    It sure went by fast.
[14:15] Hibiki
    So, how's it actually been thus far?
[14:18] Hotaru
    He's a really sweet, nice guy.
[14:20] Hotaru
    It's relaxing being with him,
    even when time passes slowly.
[14:24] Hotaru
    I'm honestly a little sad
    it'll all be over in three days.
[14:27] Hibiki
    Th-Then...
[14:28] Hotaru
    But I'm still not sure if the way
    I like him is something like love.
[14:32] Hotaru
    The other day, I ended up saying to him,
[14:34] Hotaru
    "If I stay like this and can't fall in love,
    I still want to be friends with you."
[14:40] (Flashback) Hananoi
    No way.
[14:42] Hotaru
    That's what he said in turn.
[14:44] Hananoi
    So you still aren't committed.
[14:47] Hotaru
    It's just really difficult for me.
[14:49] Keigo
    The answer is simple!
[14:51] Keigo
    You should try kissing him.
[14:53] Hotaru
    Huh?! Kei-chan?!
SIGN    This is Kyo-chan's boyfriend, Keigo-kun
[14:56] Keigo
    If someone you don't like gets close,
    you pull back. Like you did just now.
[15:00] Keigo
    Even I do it. Before Hibiki and I
    started dating, when she stole a kiss...
[15:08] Hibiki
    Sorry, but could you forget
    you ever heard that?
[15:12] Keigo
    Anyway, Hananoi is a good dude, huh?
    Not at all how I imagined him.
[15:17] Hotaru
    Huh?
[15:19] Keigo
    He's real prickly in class.
    Just be careful, Hinase-san.
[15:23] Keigo
    You seem pretty straitlaced, y'know?
[15:25] Keigo
    The guys in my class totally think he's
    just taking advantage of—
[15:29] Hotaru
    Kei-chan-san!
[15:30] Hibiki
    I'm sorry! He's being so rude.
[15:34] Hotaru
    I-It's okay.
[15:36] Hibiki
    But to be honest, I find Hananoi-kun
    kinda hard to read too.
[15:41] Hibiki
    Still, he's got good taste if he chose you.
[15:45] Hibiki
    Anyway, no matter how things
    turn out, I'm on your side.
[15:48] Hotaru
    Yeah, I appreciate it.
[16:03] Hotaru
    Oh? Hananoi-kun?
[16:07] Hotaru
    I told you to head home without me today.
[16:10] Hananoi
    I know.
[16:10] Hananoi
    But it's the last day of class and I wanted
     to spend a little more time with you.
[16:15] Hotaru
    Okay. If you'd told me sooner...
[16:19] Hotaru
    You said you would start waiting
    for me somewhere warm, right?
[16:22] Hananoi
    Sorry.
[16:23] Hotaru
    Want to hit the corner store again?
[16:25] Girl student A
    Hey, see those two?
[16:27] Girl student B
    Yeah. Hananoi-kun's girlfriend
    looks so boring. What a shocker.
[16:31] Girl student A
    If I was her, I wouldn't have
    had the guts to say yes to him.
[16:38] Hananoi
    None of them get it.
[16:41] Hananoi
    They don't know how much I admire you.
[16:46] Hotaru
    Admire?
[16:48] Hananoi
    Say, we can't hang out
    at the corner store for that long.
[16:52] Hananoi
    Wanna go to my place?
[16:53] Hotaru
    You mean your house?
[16:55] Hananoi
    Yeah. I want to talk to you
    about Christmas and stuff.
[16:58] Hotaru
    Okay.
[17:00] Hotaru
    Don't mind me...
[17:07] Hotaru
    Wow!
[17:09] Hotaru
    It looks just like I pictured
    your place would be!
[17:12] Hotaru
    Are your parents at work right now?
[17:15] Hananoi
    Yeah. They go overseas a lot,
    so they aren't usually home.
[17:22] Hotaru
    What do they do?
[17:24] Hananoi
    They're both doctors.
[17:25] Hotaru
    Whoa.
[17:27] Hotaru
    Wait, does that mean you're
    always home alone?
[17:31] Hananoi
    My grandmother comes
    to check on me on the weekends.
[17:35] Hotaru
    I see.
[17:36] Hananoi
    Ah, sorry. There's no food
    in the house right now.
[17:40] Hananoi
    Want to order sushi?
[17:42] Hotaru
    I can't do that!
[17:44] Hotaru
    Is it normal to order sushi all the time?
[17:47] Hananoi
    I guess I'm just getting
     carried away since you're here.
[17:52] Hotaru
    Um, are you okay, Hananoi-kun?
[17:55] Hotaru
    Your face is all red even
    though we're inside now.
[17:58] Hananoi
    I'm totally fine. I'll make some tea,
    so why don't you wait in my room?
[18:07] Hotaru
    Wow! So this what Hananoi-kun's
    room is like.
[18:11] Hotaru
    He has a ton of books.
[18:14] Hotaru
    Kinda reminds me of my grandpa's house.
[18:17] Hotaru
    These all look really difficult.
[18:21] Hotaru
    This is the only shelf with a curtain.
[18:33] Hananoi
    Don't open that.
[18:35] Hotaru
    I-I'm sorry! I wasn't actually going to peek.
[18:39] Hananoi
    It's my Hotaru-chan shrine.
[18:42] Hananoi
    If you want to peek, you'd best be prepared.
[18:45] Hotaru
    He's got a shrine for me? N-Now I'm dying
    to know what's behind that curtain.
[18:50] Hotaru
    But I'm too scared to look!
[18:54] Hotaru
    I-I think I'm good.
[18:56] Hananoi
    Okay.
[19:00] Hotaru
    You know, you're kind of a mystery,
     Hananoi-kun.
[19:03] Hananoi
    You just noticed?
[19:05] Hananoi
    You're pretty unusual yourself, Hotaru-chan.
[19:08] Hotaru
    Am I? My family always tells
    me that I'm way too normal.
[19:12] Hananoi
    Well, most normal folks stay away
    from people they find strange.
[19:16] Hananoi
    Plus, when someone's alone
    with a guy in his room,
[19:20] Hananoi
    they'd keep their guard up
    since he might try something.
[19:22] Hotaru
    Y-You mean something lovey-dovey?
[19:25] Hananoi
    Yeah, yeah. Something lovey-dovey.
[19:29] Hotaru
    I can't imagine anyone wanting
    to do anything like that to me.
[19:33] Hotaru
    When I hear my friends talking about it,
    it just sounds so alien to me.
[19:35] Keigo
    Our first kiss was in the gym.
[19:38] Hibiki
    Can it!
[19:39] Hananoi
    You'd say that with me right here?
[19:41] Hotaru
    Ah, sorry.
[19:44] Hananoi
    I guess to you,
    I'm still not a boyfriend yet.
[19:49] Hotaru
    U-Um, that's not what I meant.
[19:52] Hananoi
    It's fine. We're doing this trial
    to figure that out, after all.
[19:57] Hananoi
    But you know, I said this before, but I
    have no intention of becoming your friend.
[20:03] Hananoi
    To me, that would feel like being
    one random member of a big crowd.
[20:07] Hananoi
    I want to be someone special to you.
[20:10] Hotaru
    A-And if you can't be?
[20:13] Hananoi
    If I can't, then you'll never see me again.
[20:25] Hotaru
    Say, I have an idea.
[20:28] Hotaru
    Would you mind trying to kiss me once?
[20:34] Hotaru
    Are you okay?
[20:35] Hotaru
    Er, of course I don't mean actually kissing.
    Just holding our faces close together.
[20:41] Hotaru
    My friend's boyfriend told me
     if you do that, you'll know
[20:45] Hotaru
    whether you really like someone or not.
[20:48] Hotaru
    Holding hands and hugging are
    things you do even with friends,
[20:52] Hotaru
    but with a kiss, I think I'd
    know if it didn't feel right. So...
[20:57] Hananoi
    Okay.
[20:58] Hananoi
    Let's try kissing.
[21:00] Hotaru
    Thank you! I'm sorry to ask
     something so weird.
[21:04] Hotaru
    And if you don't like it,
    we can stop right away.
[21:07] Hananoi
    Hotaru-chan.
[21:09] Hananoi
    Close your eyes.
[21:14] Hotaru
    Okay.
[21:16] Hotaru
    Wait, the mood feels totally different now.
[21:20] Hotaru
    Not being able to see is making me nervous.
[21:32] Hananoi
    You shouldn't let someone do this if
    you aren't even sure you like them.
[21:46] Hananoi
    It may not mean anything to you,
[21:51] Hananoi
    but it's different for me.
[21:54] Hananoi
    Even holding your hand,
    even just touching you...
[21:59] Hananoi
    makes my heart ache so badly.
