Chapter 2127: Chaotic Sleepover?
Disregarding the heat gradually consuming us, Fuyu comfortably cuddled with me for the next few minutes. Occasionally, she'd look up at me with her cheerful and affectionate smile fixed on her face. Naturally, my response was another kiss each of which lasting close to half a minute or more.
How can I end it with a swift one when she's this irresistible? My hands are already restless to explore the uncharted paradise underneath her sleepwear but for the sake of this girl's 'pure' intentions in deciding to sleep with me here, I'm battling with inner demons for the entire duration.
Thankfully, I could still keep my sanity just from seeing those smiles and observing all of her minute reactions... She's so endearing. And as the one lucky guy who captured her heart, I vow to protect that wonderful smile.
"So, tell me. How's the sleepover going so far?"
Since we probably won't be able to sleep any time soon, I opened up a topic we could talk about.
From my perspective, a lot of things have already happened ever since I arrived at the station and picked her up. But what about theirs?
"Chaotic. And it's because of you, Ruki-kun." Fuyu answered. The tone she used was like a mother scolding her son for breaking the ornamental vase placed at the entrance.
Too specific? But that's how it really felt. But let's not bring up the fact that she's curled up comfortably in my embrace and enjoying every second of it. It's not like we have a lot of space. Anyway, when she said chaotic, it must be because of what she heard from Eri and Futaba. "I wonder... What did I do?"
Catching me playing clueless, Fuyu smirked and went for my nose, squishing it down with her finger, "Nice try, Ruki-kun, the Great Sage of Wisdom. Eri's gloomy outlook before she left the room had cleared up thanks to you. Now, she's marketing how great you are. What did you feed her?
"I cleared her doubts. That's all."
"Is that all? Then explain to me how she turned into your supporter. She cheerfully went to my side and whispered how cool you are and she understood why I fell for you."
That girl... Did she really need to tell Fuyu that? Can't she support us silently?Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
Ah. Right. She wouldn't be Eri if she just kept her thoughts to herself. So now that I got her to side with me because of my painstaking effort by reminding and advising, she's going all in for my sake. I'm sure Akane will take that as praise for me but for Fuyu, it made her wonder how I easily won her over.
At this point, Fuyu's tone was quite cheerful yet bittersweet as she narrated what happened in the past that she witnessed by Akane's side. With this, it really showed that she was always there next to her, watching our story unfold.
"Akane never doubted that you'll return to the Ruki-kun that she loves dearly. But in her own words, she believed that you never changed. You only got temporarily distracted. Even if you were not taking her seriously, you were always there to protect her. Making sure that she wouldn't be troubled by anyone.
"I was there to witness all of it. You did ensure that nothing could happen to her. And because we're also close to her, you also protected us... Not just me but also Futaba and Eri... If you ask them, they'll tell you about those few times when you showed up to their rescue."
Fuyu sweetly giggled when she finished that tale. She then focused on my face, most likely relishing my current expression.
How do I feel from hearing all that? Conflicted should be the short word but it's a mix of different emotions. Above all, I feel so loved that I could feel my heart skipping a few beats as I recalled all those years I kept my distance from Akane. If I could go back to the past, I would really scold myself for neglecting the girl.
"I was a big fool back then... Allow me to change that."
"Pfft... Ruki-kun, I think you'll remain a fool who cannot stop loving everyone, now, including me, but you're an honest fool and Akane acknowledged that. Just continue loving us as you are now... That's all I will be wishing for."
Looks like in this talk, I was the one on the losing end. Or if I look at this from another angle, it's clearly a win-win for all of us.
And for sure, Fuyu also wanted to convey that... But as always, I just couldn't help but overthink things. I was also hopeless on that part.
As I was lost in my thoughts, Fuyu cupped my cheeks, pulling my head down and this time, our positions were reversed. My face got planted deep within bountiful softness as her gentle caresses added more comfort making my tumultuous head clear up.
"But Ruki-kun, I still won't hand you over to Akane, okay? You're mine tonight." Fuyu
repeated her declaration.
A soft laughter burst out from my mouth upon hearing that followed by a nod. I guess Fuyu remembered that she was not here to shill Akane to me but to keep me for herself.
And not long after that, Fuyu pouted and raised my head. I closed my eyes and waited for our
lips to reconnect. Once again, we shared more kisses that we would probably never get tired of. Our desire for each other grows more by the second.
