Chapter 49: Submerged to the Bottom of Our Chin

Drip. Drip-

A sound echoed.

Of some small things hitting against something else.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been a sound so faint as to go unnoticed. However, with her heightened senses, her ears caught the noise.

Miyuki, who had been dozing off in Matsudas arms, opened her eyes.

Careful not to wake Matsuda, she gingerly lifted her head and looked at the wide-open window.

Darkness enveloped the room, rendering things indistinguishable. After a few blinks to acclimate her eyes to the dark, the shapes of objects slowly came into view.

It was raining, albeit not much.

Is it a drizzle? It might get a bit humid when we go to watch the movie.

.....

She never used to find any particular appeal in rainy days.

In fact, she almost hated them: Water splashing everywhere, getting her shoes and clothes wet.

But ever since she met Matsuda, her perspective started to change.

To be precise, it began to shift from the day she fell asleep in his arms during a downpour.

Nestled in the warmth of Matsudas embrace on a chilly day, the tension and excitement that once consumed her subsided, replaced by a sense of calm.

That calm, harmonizing with the sound of the falling rain, made the day feel cozy.

Miyuki remembered that day with a playful smile and quickly buried her face into Matsudas arm.

Mmm...

Matsuda let out a murmur as he shifted slightly in his sleep.

His unconscious, baritone voice resonated through her ears.

It sounded incredibly pleasant. She wanted to hear more of it. And the fact that she was the only one awake also felt somewhat unfair.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Gently pressing her index finger against Matsudas abdomen, Miyuki watched for his reaction. Seeing that he remained asleep, she softly prodded various parts of his body.

Waking someone up like this is naughty.

She knew that, yet the temptation was too strong to resist.

While she lost her self-control and continued to poke Matsuda, he finally woke up and asked in a drowsy voice,

What are you doing...?

She immediately apologized, Sorry...

Of course, it was insincere.

Deep down, she was thrilled that Matsuda had woken up. The idea that he would now hold her tightly made her heart race.

What time is it now?

I dont know... Maybe around 2 AM?

Why are you up so early...

Because of the rain...

But I cant hear the rain.

I heard it...

Is that so...?

Matsuda pulled Miyuki closer by her waist.

Pressing her against himself, he said,

Shorty is pretty naughty, isnt she?

He spoke in a tone that made it unclear whether it was a compliment or a jab, then slipped his hand inside Miyukis t-shirt.

Feeling Matsudas hand caressing her waist, goosebumps popped up all over Miyukis skin, and she swallowed nervously.

It was different from the gentle strokes of a few hours agothis time he was palpably touching her.

The problem was that she was willingly accepting his touch.

Afraid Matsuda might comment on her gaining weight, she tensed her abdomen and even made it easier for him to touch her by slightly arching her back.

She was nervous, yes.

But it was an excited kind of nervousness, not one born out of fear.

It was absurd how different she had become when she would have scowled in the past.

Mulling over whether she had lost her mind, Miyuki revisited what Matsuda had just said.

Naughty...

Naughty. The word sounded somewhat bad, but the thought that Matsuda found it satisfying made her oddly happy.

She remembered. Before going to sleep, she had initiated the kiss, letting her tongue slip into his mouth...

And now, feeling Matsudas touch like this...

It felt strange but delightful how she was gradually becoming more sexually awakened than before.

Her heart also fluttered pleasantly at the expectation of sharing even sweeter and hotter moments with Matsuda.

Miyuki stole a sidelong glance at Matsuda, feigning coyness as she playfully pouted.

Dont touch me...

What are you talking about?

Blinking a few times, she stared at me and said,

...Im sleepy...

She closed her eyes again, her face breaking into a warm smile.

She even pulled my arm closer for good measure.

Chuckling, I leaned in close to Miyukis ear and whispered softly, in a tone she loved so much:

Wake up. My arms falling asleep.

At that, Miyukis shoulders jerked up, her body quivering.

Uhm...

Her moan is a little less suggestive than yesterday. Her eyes remain closed.

Shes usually so sharp, but her off-guard look right now... is not bad at all.

Do you want some water?

No, I dont...

Her voice, tinged with a playful whine, makes me want to tease her even more.

Ah, Im already in the mood.

Given how relaxed she is down there right now... the temptation is surging through me.

But I must resist. Ive been putting in the work; theres no way I can let it go to waste now that were almost there.

Matsuda-kun... keep your hands still for a bit...

Miyuki admonishes me in her half-asleep state.

Pretending I didnt hear her, I gently touched her thigh and slowly rubbed it.

Hueek...!

With a small, strangled cry, she finally lets go of my arm and sits up. Her shoulders slumped, she stares blankly ahead. When I pat her back, she rubs her eyes with her four fingers, leaving her thumb out.

Shes adorable beyond words.

Why not just live together? We can even go to school as a couple.

Of course, well cut ties with the likes of Tetsuya.

What time is it...?

9:20.

What...? Then we should hurry and get ready...

Why obsess over a matinee? Take your time.

...Matsuda-kun has a point. Uh, let me go to the bathroom first.

Miyuki grunts as she gets up and shuffles into the bathroom. The sound of rushing water is heard, and shortly after,

*Clunk.*

The bathroom door swings open.

Matsuda-kun...! Is this your doing from yesterday...?!

Miyuki walks over to me, pointing to the hickey on her neck.

Looking at her flushed, accusing face, I answered, letting out a big yawn.

Yep.

This looks like Ive been bitten by a bug...!

So now Im a bug?

Thats not what I mean...! Ugh...

As if realizing she cant get through to me, she exhales deeply and throws me a faint smile.

Fine... you fool...

She knew that I had left the hickey on her neck out of affection, and it seemed like she was trying not to make a big deal of it.

So, shes not angry, huh.

Lying back down on the bed, I teased her as she carefully sat beside me.

Why were you so worked up saying I dont want water! earlier, but now youre so composed?

Instead of answering, Miyuki rested her head on my abdomen.

As I adjusted her mussed-up hair, which betrayed her embarrassment, I felt that our relationship had grown incredibly close.

The way she let me explicitly touch her butt earlier and just let it slide...

The way shes letting her guard down and getting closer now...

Miyuki was sinking deeper and deeper into the trap Id laid for her.

Fools stomach is making noises...

Miyuki said, pressing her ear against my belly.

With a sly grin, I rubbed the back of her neck.

Thats because Im hungry.

However, it seemed Miyuki wasnt sinking alone.

Beside her was me, and we were holding each other tightly, submerged to the bottom of our chin.
