CH extra 13

Tonight, Heath came to my house. He told me that I didn't need to pick him up because it was getting late. He had already memorized the directions from the train station to my house, so he told me to stay home.

So I prepared the food and the bottle of liquor that Heath had left behind. He was happy to eat even the most simple dishes I made for him.

‘It’s because I'm glad that you worked this hard for me,’ he told me a while back.

I was pretty sure I would go to any lengths for Heath.

For tonight, I made chirashi-sushi.[efn_note]Generally, Chirashi Sushi or simply Chirashi means “scattered” (=chirashi 散らし) sushi in Japan where the ingredients are mixed in and topped on sushi rice. It's often vegetarian and if it is not, it usually contains cooked ingredients like cooked unagi rather than raw fish.[/efn_note] I wanted to make it a little more luxurious than usual, as it was our one month anniversary. I also bought a cake.

Back in college, I once talked to Nachi about how I didn't understand the appeal of anniversaries. But now that I had a lover, I became greatly interested in the topic.

I also prepared a gift. I had trouble deciding on what to get him, but I ended up with a keychain... with a duplicate key to my house attached. I wanted him to come and see me more often in the future.

It was a little after 10:30 in the evening when my intercom rang. It was right on time, so I knew immediately that Heath had arrived.

"Heath..."

"Neji..."

As soon as I opened the door, I was hugged on the spot. I knew that being in the arms of the real Heath was much better than in VR. Of course, I liked the real him more.

Then we went to the kotatsu and sat down together, and I presented Heath with the bag containing the gift keychain that I had wrapped myself.

"Happy Anniversary, here's something for you."

"Please accept this from me too," Heath said, and we exchanged presents. "And can I open this now?"

"Sure. I'll open mine too."

Heath's gift was an envelope. I couldn't imagine what was inside it. It wasn’t sealed, so I took it out while glancing at Heath. I was also curious about his reaction to the gift I had given him.

"What is this key for?" Heath asked.

I answered, "I thought the keychain would be lonely on its own. So I coupled it with… well, the duplicate key to this house..."

"A key to your house, huh. Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

Heath smiled brightly, causing me to be dazzled by it.

"I'll cherish this for sure. However, I'll probably return it in a year or so," Heath said.

I was horrified. "Huh? But, but... I don't want us to break up..."

"Break up? What are you talking about?" Heath was confused. "More importantly, you haven't seen what I've given you, right? Make sure you look at it carefully."

"Ah..."

I was still holding the paper that came out from inside, so I looked at it in a rush. Then, I gasped in astonishment.

"T-T-This is...!"

It was a marriage certificate. There were three sheets, all had been filled in with Heath's name and other details.

"I've prepared three copies in case there are any mistakes while filling it out," Heath added.

"No... What... is the meaning of..."

I kept opening my mouth and closing it back again. A marriage certificate...? I looked at it repeatedly in disbelief.

"I want you to fill it out," Heath replied.

I was greatly shocked.

"Although it would be a weekend marriage for now, but it shouldn't be a problem. There are a lot of marriages in VR nowadays."

VR marriage was a form of marriage where the couple would only see each other in VR. Weekend marriage, on the other hand, meant that we only met on weekends, like we do now.

"Is it because we’re still students that you don't want to get married?" Heath asked.

"Huh? I don't mean..."

"You don't want to marry me?" Heath asked again.

"No way! I've always wanted to be with you, and I've always hoped that... we could get married someday."

Same-sex marriage was legal here, and I had dreamed of having it someday. Nachi had also talked about getting married to Mao. We've only been messaging about it recently, but Nachi had been talking about becoming a full-time househusband at Mao's house after college. I couldn't tell if he was serious.[efn_note]Lu: Nachi the malewife[/efn_note]

However, I hadn't thought of being married while I was still a student. Even Nachi didn't seem to be planning to marry Mao while he was still in school, and it wasn't very common. No matter what, I had to tell my parents and siblings, and I had to meet Heath's family as well... Was it enough for me to sign this paper to consider myself married to Heath?

"Huh!? Wait a minute, Heath! We haven't even met our families yet!"

"I've contacted them all. We're going to set up dinner sometime next month."

"What!? I've never heard about that!"

"That's the reason why I was late today. Your parents told me that they would come over for dinner if you said it was okay. While my family won't interfere with my adult life. They told me to do as I please."

I couldn't help but be taken aback, I couldn't believe that this was actually happening.

"If you’d like to marry me, then fill it now."

"Oh... Okay."

I looked at Heath who was staring at me intently. Thus, I shakily moved the pen he gave me. I struggled to fill in the blanks at a space on the table in front of the chirashi sushi. It's not like I was forced into it. It was because I really wanted to be with Heath.[efn_note]whistle: hello 911 i would like to report a case of bridenapping Lu: Hello 911 here, we’re on our way to save the malewife from this bastard[/efn_note]

"I'm done."

Fortunately, I succeeded in writing it in one go. As I was relieved, Heath took the paper from me.

"When are you going to submit it?" I asked.

"We'll go to the municipal office tomorrow. Fortunately, it's Monday."

"Tomorrow!? That’s fast..."

"I want to make you officially mine as soon as possible."

Heath said this with a serious face, then, he let out a long sigh. He took a glance at his bag and pulled out a large package this time.

"There's one more thing in case you're not happy. You don't look too happy now, so I'll give you this one too."

"It's not that I'm unhappy," I denied. "It's just all too much for me to take in at once!"

"I see."

I took the package from Heath. While I was still confused, I decided to see what was inside - it was wine. There were two bottles in it.

"Wine...? But I don't drink much."

"It's for decoration."

"Decoration?"

"One is for your birthday, while the other is for commemorating this year. Both of them are delicious, but they are better off as mementos. My parents bought one when they got engaged, another when they got married, and one each for me and my brothers after we were born. So I'd like to do the same."

"That's really grand," I commented.

It was a culture I didn't understand.

"Sorry, I can't think of gifts that would make people happy. Instead, I give them what I want them to have."

At that moment, Heath said with a bitter smile. Hearing this, I looked at the scarf hanging on the wall.

"I really like that scarf, though. So you wanted me to have that as well?"

Heath shook his head.

"No, that was the only thing you wanted, as you told me in the chat, so I just remembered. If there's anything you want, just tell me and I'll get it."

I didn't like asking people to buy me things, so that statement left me with mixed feelings.

However, Heath was happy.

"You're going to be my spouse from now on," He said to me.

When I heard that, I realized that I was getting married to him for real, which made my heart pound.

I nodded. After that, we helped ourselves with my homemade chirashi-sushi.

And just like that - it was the last night before our marriage.

◆◇◆

My body was hot. It felt like I was going to melt from the heat.

"Ah... Mmh... Aah..."

Heath's hair tickled against my body, as it was drenched in sweat. After I was carefully prepared for two hours, I didn't feel any pain. It's been exactly one month since Heath had started embracing me in real life, and we had become lovers at the same time. Today had marked the 30th day, but I immediately brushed it off, as this very same day was our final day as lovers.[efn_note]whistle: im imagining neji narrating this while being fucked hard in the ass Lu: “It’s *pound* been exactly *moan* one month *hgnnnn…* since Heath *hah….* had started *hmmpgh!...* embracing me in *aah!* real life *cums*”[/efn_note]

"Ngh, ah... Aah, aaah..."

Tears streamed down my face from the intense pleasure, but more than that, I couldn't help but cry in happiness as I became one with Heath, he was making my heart feel full as well. I wrapped my arms around his neck just as usual, and he eventually moved faster.

"Aah! Ah! Aaah!!!"

"Are you okay?" Heath asked.

"I'm fine... Please... Aah... Aaaah... Nnh..."

Heath smiled at me in a teasing manner. I looked at his mischievous eyes, and flinched.

My moans were only getting louder.

Immediately after, Heath hit me at a certain spot close to my entrance, and he didn't stop, causing me to shudder in his embrace.

"No, please, not there... Aaah! Aaaah!!!"

"You don't want me to?"

"No... I mean... It feels good... Please... More...!"

"No problem."

Heath continued with his thrusts, while my body rocked back and forth. I squeezed my eyes shut, and more tears dribbled down as I did. The pleasure was too much. My mind went blank and I could only shudder as he violently slammed into me. I was unable to breathe properly, as the waves of pleasure suffocated me.

Tonight, Heath entered me again and again.

And it continued as the night carried on.

Heath and I had decided to become spouses. As soon as I woke up the next morning, I would acknowledge it as the best present I’ve ever had. And soon, we would head out to get our marriage license.

It was also the moment when our newly blossomed relationship started to progress more.

I closed my eyes quietly, waiting for the moment with a pounding heart.
