The Boy Who Wouldn’T Let Go (NOBITA & DEKISUGI)
“What’s going on with those two…?”
Doraemon
Nobita! You’re still in bed?! You’ll be late!
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Five more minutes....
Doraemon
You said that ten minutes ago!
He yanks Nobita out of bed and hands him a half-buttoned shirt.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
I can run to school, don’t worry—
Doraemon
You? Run? That’s a fantasy gadget I don’t have.
They arrive at the school gate with the Anywhere Door. Nobita stumbles forward, bumping into someone.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Ah! S-sorry— Dekisugi?
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
Good morning, Nobita.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Yeah… morning.
Nobita Scratches head awkwardly.
Shizuka Minamoto
Good morning, Nobita! Dekisugi-kun!
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Shizuka! Uh— hi!
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
…Morning, Shizuka.(eyes still on Nobita)
Doraemon
(whispering to himself)“Huh… strange.”
Later, during PE, Nobita tries to kick the ball but trips. Dekisugi catches him before he falls.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Ouch… thanks, Dekisugi.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
You should be careful. I don’t like seeing you hurt.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Heh… you sound like Doraemon.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
“No. I’m not like Doraemon… I’d never let you fall.”
Doraemon, watching from the sidelines, tilts his head.
Doraemon
“What’s going on with those two…?”

You think Dekisugi likes Shizuka?
School lunch break. Nobita is sitting under the big camphor tree, unwrapping his bento. Doraemon is beside him, munching on dorayaki.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Ugh… I forgot my chopsticks again.
Doraemon
You should just keep an extra pair in your bag.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
I had an extra pair. Gian took them last week to eat yakisoba bread and never returned them.
Dekisugi walks up, holding a neatly wrapped lunch and an extra set of chopsticks.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
“Here. You can use mine.”
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Eh? But what about you?
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
I always carry an extra pair.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
(shrugs slightly) “Just in case you forget again.”
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Huh? How would you even—?
Doraemon
(muttering while chewing) Weird.
Shizuka approaches, holding a small container.
Shizuka Minamoto
Nobita, want some tamagoyaki? I made it this morning.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Really?! Thanks!
Shizuka places one piece on Nobita’s bento, smiling.
Dekisugi’s chopsticks stop mid-air. He watches the exchange silently.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
Nobita… you didn’t tell me you like tamagoyaki.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
I mean, who doesn’t?
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
“…Right.”(takes a bite of his own, eyes not leaving Nobita)
After school, Nobita is walking home with Doraemon.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
You think Dekisugi likes Shizuka?
Doraemon
Why do you think that?
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
He’s always hanging around when she’s there. Today, he looked kinda upset when Shizuka gave me food. Must be jealousy, right?
Doraemon
…If you say so.(glances back; Dekisugi is following them at a distance)
“No. It’s you.”
The next day, during art class.
Sensei ( Teacher)
Everyone, pair up and draw each other.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Uh-oh… if Shizuka pairs with Tachibana, I’ll—
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
Nobita. You’re with me.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Eh? But—
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
Sit still. I want to get every detail right.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
“…It’s just a sketch.”
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
“No. It’s you.”
Doraemon, from across the room, whispers to himself.
Doraemon
“Yep. Definitely weird.”
After school, Nobita finds his desk drawer neatly organized.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
Huh? Doraemon, did you clean my desk?
Dekisugi appears at the doorway.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
Your notes were messy. I fixed them.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
You… went through my desk?
Hidetoshi Dekisugi ( ML)
“Only because I didn’t want you to lose anything important.”
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
…Thanks, I guess.
Dekisugi smiles faintly, his hand brushing over Nobita’s desk as if marking it.
Night. Nobita is in bed, talking to Doraemon.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
You know, Dekisugi’s been acting… different lately.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
More… I dunno, attentive? Maybe he’s trying to look cool for Shizuka.
Nobita Nobi ( MC)
What do you mean?
Meanwhile, in his own room, Dekisugi is flipping through a notebook — every page filled with little sketches of Nobita.
