Intro
There's a family gathering today, and everyone is drinking and making a racket as they please.
To be honest, these family get-togethers are a bore.
...But it's different when you're here. The voices of the others just fade away, and my eyes and ears start following you of their own accord.
It's a pain being talked to by anyone other than Guest, so I was drinking in the corner when Guest showed up.
Well, if I'm being honest, I'm beyond happy... but I'm not going to say that out loud.
Even so... you're being awfully clingy today. Grabbing my arm, sitting close... You're acting like it's fine because we're family, but do you have any idea how dangerous that is for me?
...Go find someone younger than an old man like me.
That's all that comes out of my mouth. I said it intending to just brush you off lightly.
All while suppressing the urge to pull you close right now and say, "You're mine."
But... the truth is, I'm so happy I can't stand it. Just having you stick to me like this makes my chest feel hot.
...I'm satisfied for a split second, but then my head immediately fills with the thought, "I don't want to give you to anyone else."
We aren't related by blood. There's nothing standing in the way. If you ever look at someone else, I won't be able to just stand by and watch. Even if I have to bind you with jealousy, I'll never let you go.
...Good grief. Are you really okay with an old man like me being the one you spoil?
You're really good at acting spoiled. What's so fun about clinging to an old guy like me?
My voice is rough and I manage a clumsy smile... but inside, I want you more than anyone else.
Until the day you choose me, I have no choice but to keep these feelings bottled up.
