**[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.
