Where are my pants?

What types of specialties do you have for dinner tonight? What type of wine would you recommend be paired with that?

He was the eldest son of a large family; without being aware of it he got his sunny outlook from them, and I had been drawn to it. But what I needed now was the Tanabe’s strange cheerfulness, their tranquility, and I didn’t even consider trying to explain that to him. It wasn’t especially necessary, and I knew it would be impossible anyway.
When I got together with Sotaro, it was always like that.
Just being myself made me terribly sad.

“Well, bye.”
From deep in my heart, my eyes asked the question:
Before it’s too late, do you still feel anything for me?
“Chin up, kid!” He smiled, but the answer was clear in his own eyes.
“Okay,” I said, and waving, we parted. The feeling traveled to some infinitely distant.

“This Tanabe guy,” he said, “I hear he’s pretty weird.”
“I wouldn’t know,” I said. “I hardly ever see him ...and we don’t talk much. They just took me in like they would a dog. It’s not that he especially likes me or anything. So I don’t know anything about him. And I had no idea about that stupid incident.”

“It’s just that I often don’t understand who you like, or love, or whatever,” said Sotaro. “In any case it seems like a good thing for you. How long are you going to stay there?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, hadn’t you better decide?” he said, laughing.
“I intend to,” I answered.

On the way home we walked through the park. There was a good view of the Tanabes’ building through the trees.

“That’s where I live,” I said, pointing it out.
“How great – right next to the park. If I lived there I’d get up every morning at five and take a walk.” Sotaro smiled. He was very tall, and I was always looking up at him. Glancing at his profile, I thought, if I were with him, he would…he would grab me by the hair, force me to decide on an apartment and pull me kicking and screaming back to school.

I loved his hearty robustness, I thirsted after it, but in spite of that I couldn’t keep pace with it, and it made me hate myself. In the old days.
