Chapter 88: Thoughts about the Future

After our kiss, we decided to go home. Aya was satisfied with it. And she never mentioned being jealous again.

When I arrived home, Minoru was playing with Akane in the living room, there was an old console there that I used before. Sometimes girls also want to play some games when I bring them here.

Miwa-nee was in the kitchen, she's making our dinner.

"I'm home."

Akane was too focused on the game that she only noticed when I announced my arrival.

"Ah. Husband, welcome home. Eh? I lost."

"Yay. I win! Welcome home Ru-nii."

This 4-year old boy was so happy that he beat Akane in that game. I ruffled his hair and I went next to Akane after putting down my bag.

"I lost because of you, husband. Kiss me."

"This silly girl, you just want to be spoiled again."

I kissed her as she asked. She got energized again to play another game with Minoru because of that kiss. This time it's a coop game.

I stood up and went to the kitchen. Miwa-nee was silent but I saw her shot a glance at me when I arrived..

"Miwa-nee."

I hugged her from the back and that startled her. She's focused on cooking that she failed to notice me moving behind her.

"Y-you. Don't just creep on my back like that!"

"Sorry. I thought you're ignoring me."

"This boy, do you think I can still ignore you? I told you I'll take responsibility so go away for now and let me cook."

"Kiss first?"

"I thought you remembered your love for Akane. Why are you suddenly this pushy?"

"I already gave her a kiss. This time, I want one from Miwa-nee."

"Don't push it. Sit down or go and play with them!"

"Just once. Miwa-nee. Before Minoru turns his head here."

"Haa. Just what kind of monster did I make?"

Miwa-nee gave up and turned her head to me, her lips became reachable now and I didn't pass up to that chance. I tiptoed to reach her lips. She already leaned down waiting for my lips.

I kissed Miwa-nee like how I kissed Akane. I fully savor her lips and her tongue. She's still resisting at first but eventually, she also got too into kissing me.

"Enough. Sit down now."

"Alright. I'll make time for you later, Miwa-nee. Or you can finish that bottle later. I'll accompany you again."

"Shut up. You're thinking of ways to take advantage of me again."

"I just want Miwa-nee, that's all."

Because of my interference, Miwa-nee's cooking got delayed for a few minutes. That gave me the time to also play with Minoru. Akane was behind us, watching while she leaned on me.

"Ru-nii. Give it back to Aka-nee. I can't win against you."

Well, it's already a wonder how he can play when all he does is smash those buttons randomly.

Is Akane so bad at games that she can even lose to someone who doesn't know how to play?

"Husband, I don't like that look on your face."

"What?"

"You think I'm so bad at games that even Minoru can beat me."

"You're the one who said that, silly girl."

She then moved in front and took the controller from me.

"Watch me beat Minoru."

"Why don't you just go back to playing a coop game?"

"Shut up there and hug me, husband."

"In the end, you just want to be spoiled."

I hugged her as she asked and it immediately put her in a good mood. Out of the 10 games they played, she only won twice. This silly girl.

"You three, stop that and come here now."

Miwa-nee called us out for dinner.

Usually, it was Akane or me who prepared it. Today, Miwa-nee volunteered to give Akane time to play with Minoru.

"Mama. I beat Aka-nee."

"Is that so? My Minoru is so good."

"But Ru-nii bullied me."

"I'll scold him later, okay?"

Minoru became overjoyed at the thought of me being scolded by Miwa-nee.

This boy…

Akane was giggling at her seat watching Minoru and Miwa-nee's exchanges.

"Husband, he sounded like you when Miwa-nee played with you before. You'll tell me how she bullied you then you'll be overjoyed when I said I'll scold her for you."

"Eh? You're right. Because Miwa-nee is a big bully back then."

We both smile at that thought. Seems like Akane already put down her hate for Miwa-nee.

"Oi. I can hear you two."

"Mama, are you a bully?"

Minoru innocently asked his mother.

"Don't listen to the idiot couple. They were cute like you before but now, they're too flirtatious."

"Ru-nii loves Aka-nee and Aka-nee loves Ru-nii."

Akane stood up and happily patted Minoru's head.

"Now I think you two will be a bad influence for Minoru to stay here."

"Don't say that Miwa-nee. We're both fond of him."

I also patted his head. And the boy liked it.

"But you show him your flirting habit. What if he picks up that desire of yours?"

"Unless there's a reason, he won't. But yeah, I'll restrain flirting with the both of you where he can see."

Right. I shouldn't show him how I flirt with Akane and Miwa-nee. Surprisingly though, he's not mentioning his father. Is there a reason?

"This boy… Akane, are you fine with what he is saying?"

"It's fine. I'm still his special one Miwa-nee. Don't you like it? I'm giving you chances to be with husband."

"You're both turning into a headache for me. Hurry and let's finish eating."

"You said you'll take responsibility. No running away, Miwa-nee."

With Akane's last words, Miwa-nee doesn't have a choice but to give up.

I should reward this silly girl for assisting me. I reached for her hand and squeezed it. She turned to me and gave me her beautiful smile then she lowered her head.

She's also asking to be patted in the head.

I did what she wanted and she giggled happily.

Miwa-nee's eyebrows twitched at that scene then she turned her head away.

After dinner. Miwa-nee stayed with Minoru to put him to sleep while I went with Akane to the mini-gym.

To make up for the exercise we missed earlier, we did more than just an exercise.

Err… you know, seeing her sweaty body turned me on. And seeing me turned on for her also put her in the mood. So before going into the bath, we did one round inside that room.

"I love you, husband."

"I love you too, wife."

"It still feels like a dream, hearing it from your mouth."

"This silly girl. Like always I'll keep pouring it to you so you'll be convinced."

After our bath, Miwa-nee and Minoru were already upstairs, I guess I'll see later if she will go downstairs to get another chance with her.

It's already their third day here, my time is limited to making Miwa-nee mine. If her husband suddenly comes to pick them up. Will they go with him? I'll have to tighten my hold on her before that happens.

"What are you thinking, husband?"

"About Miwa-nee."

"Do you want to go to her now?"

"No silly girl, it's still our time. How was your day? No one found the scarf unnatural?"

Because I failed to hold myself back last night, I left a lot of hickeys on her neck. Since we're still using the winter uniform, it's still not unnatural to put on a scarf.

"They did! My friends even tried to take it off me but when I glared at them, they stopped."

"My wife can be that scary. I want to see that."

That's my fault but imagining her glaring at them, I kinda want to witness it myself.

"Idiot husband, it's your fault. But they probably guessed what's the reason for my scarf. They all know we're living together, having these marks from you is natural."

"Then should I add more?"

Right. There's no way a scarf she refused to remove won't be unnatural. I'll add more and let them see how I love her.

"Pervert husband. I won't wear the scarf tomorrow, I'm proud of this. And Yaeko will probably stop being smug at me."

"You two. Do you not get along with each other?"

"She's competing with me, husband. I don't want to lose."

"This silly girl. You're the special one. Now that you mention her, I want to see her again."

Yae, she's the one who always wanted me to fall in love with her. Now I can finally say it to her. And with certainty. I also love her. That girl. Maybe I can squeeze time to see her and confess this to her.

"Can I bite you, husband?"

"You're jealous."

She already bit me before asking that question, leaving a small bite mark on my arm.

"You… you intentionally mentioned her."

"Right. I wanna see that pout of yours."

She's always acting this cute when she's jealous, and it always made me want to spoil her upon seeing that.

"You're bullying me again."

"I love you, silly girl."

I pulled her into my embrace again, no matter how many times I hug her, it always brings me comfort. And now my heart is even beating fast for her that made this moment better.

"Hmph. You're using that now to appease me, but I'll still accept, I love you too, you bully."

"I'm really lucky you didn't give up on me."

If Akane gave up on me, I don't know if I will ever realize how important she is. And if I do, it won't be a happy story like now. I can certainly do extreme things just to get her back. Luckily that scenario won't happen and we're now back at loving each other.

"That won't happen, ever. I can't see myself with anybody else."

"I know that's why thank you, Akane. Saying this isn't enough so I'll show it to you for the rest of my days."

"Un. I won't reject that, I'll be with you always so I can receive all that."

After high school, we will either enter the adult world or continue studying. Thinking about the future at that late of time won't cut it. We have to think about it now so our promise to stay together until the end will happen. Same thing with the other girls.

"What do you want to do in the future, wife?"

"Apart from taking care of our children, maybe I want to be a teacher."

"What kind?"

"A preschool teacher? I want to take care of kids like Minoru. Especially our future children and maybe your children with the other girls?"

"Wife, that's…."

She even considered the children I will father to the other girls. This silly girl. But a preschool teacher? Right. It might suit her.

"I'll have them get along with each other."

"You silly girl. At least you know what you want to do."

"What about you, husband?"

"I still don't know what I will do. All this time I'm focused on my desire."

What can I do? Apart from this glib tongue of mine, I have no other redeeming features. And I don't have any hobby that might become the drive I can pursue. Maybe after a few sessions with Fujii, I might find what I wanted to do, apart from this desire.

"We'll support you to what you will choose. We girls, we're not weak, you will not be the only one shouldering everything. We'll carry it with you."

"Thank you, but I still want to do something for everyone."

"Then you have to think hard, husband."

"Right."

Think hard eh. Currently, when I think, their faces are all I can see. These girls are all important to me. Though most of them started as just a target, they now grew into me.
