Hey, Ryuichi-kun.
Yeah?
It was after school, the day right before the long holiday weekend in May. It was already dark, and night had fallen. Ryuichi and Shizuna, both students, were on their way home from having dinner at the bar they had previously visited together.
They were both still in their uniform because they had gone out for some shopping prior.
Do you have any plans for the holidays?
Ah Nope, not really.
He hadnt made any commitments to anyone as of yet. He had been invited by Makoto and Kaname for various woman-related activities during the holidays, but he turned them down. They were probably going to go to mixers and such, but the current Ryuichi didnt crave a womans company that badly.
Well no, he actuallydidhave the desire to hold a woman. After all, it was always in a mans instinct to want to spend time with a beautiful woman.

Shizuna.
Kya?!
Placing his hand on her shoulder, he embraced her somewhat tightly. She squealed in surprise, but the moment he embraced her as such, her eyes became noticeably expressive of her fondness for him, and they began to glint in eager anticipation.
It was a sign of her infatuation with Ryuichi, and she could not hide her desire to devote herself to him.
Why would I need plans when I have you this year around? So what do you say? Do you wanna spend the holiday with me?
Geez, do you really have to ask questions you already know the answer to?
She let out a giggle at his obvious question. Her eyes were moist and her cheeks were flushed; every inch of her body was filled to the brim with anticipation for Ryuichi. With her in his embrace, he brought his face up to her neck and sniffed her scent as he continued.
I want to hear it straight from your mouth.
Okay I want to be with you. I want to stay by your side and never let go. I want you to hold me tightly in your embrace with your arms.
She buried her face in his chest, telling him that that was all she could ever ask for. The way she was now, she was completely in love with him, and there was no doubt that she was so obedient she would listen to anything he asked of her.
However, the fondness she had for him was undoubtedly a precious feeling that she herself had developed. Of course, Ryuichi had some part to play in this, but it was her own heart that amplified her feelings for him such that they had become as great as they are today.
Yknow, Ive never seen you take off that choker before; do you really like it that much?
She nodded in response, tracing the tip of her finger on the choker attached to her neck. Not much time had passed since he had given it to her, but still, she basically never took it off. He could even see her occasionally stroking it with her fingers with a delighted expression on her face.
Yes, very. Of course, I do take it off when I take my baths, but fufu. I always want to think of myself as being yours, Ryuichi-kun. I always want to be conscious of the fact that I am a woman who is devoted to you, a woman who youll think is special.
Nobody wouldve ever expected those kinds of words from a beautiful girl like Shizuna. Shed said that she wanted to feel like she belonged to Ryuichi, that she wanted to be special to him.
This stimulated Ryuichis possessive side, instinctively making him see the woman in front of him as a special luxury only for him.
Mmm.
He put his hand on her chin and raised her face. Her eyes closed, he placed his lips on hers and slipped his tongue in, violating all the way to the recesses of her mouth.
With Shizunas muffled voice fuelling him further, their kiss became more intense as Ryuichi began to desire her even more heatedly.
Ryuichi-kun. I want to spend the rest of the night with you.
Their faces parted, and silver threads formed between their lips. Ryuichi had held many women before in his life, but he could keenly feel that Shizuna carried a charm that was truly incomparable.
He held her shoulders, deciding to head to his home since it was closer than hers.
Lets go to my place.
Yes.
Her response was immediate, and her voice sounded very excited. Seeing her blatantly obvious reaction made him laugh. Just as the two of them snuggled against each other, about to make their way to his apartment, fate played a trick on them and another persons voice rang out.
Whatare you doing?
I wont let anyone else deny it. These feelingsthese feelings of love that I hold for Ryuichi-kun; I will never let anybody deny them.
Shizunas voice was crystal clear. Sohei was naturally shocked, but on the other hand, Ryuichi couldnt help but think that he was truly a scumbag. Even though she was expressing her feelings for him in such a straightforward manner, he still could not tell if the feelings he held for her was love.
He wanted to monopolize her; he wanted to make her his; yet despite all that, he couldnt actually tell if helovedher.

I wish you were never born.
Whats the use of believing in love; all women are just like that filthy mother of yours,whispered Ryuichis own voice from deep inside. Of course, Shizuna was not like that. He understood that she was so beautiful, so straightforward, and so wonderful a woman.

It wasnt just Shizuna; he had no doubt that Chisa and Sakie were also people that he could lay himself bare to. Still, he couldnt find it in him to take that one step forward.
Damn it.
He forcibly convinced himself that worrying about these things wasnt like him, and that he should just continue treating her as he had until now. With that, he hugged Shizuna from behind right in front of Sohei.
Ryuichi-kun?
Hey, you better
back off from her.Sohei was unable to say those last few words.

He whispered in her ear while simultaneously sinking his fingers into her ample breasts. She didnt reject him in the slightest; in fact, she even looked as if she wanted him to go harder on her.
But more importantly, this scene was an exact reenactment of the events that had occurred after theyd exited the club that day.
N-No way
Yep. The woman who was beside me that time was Shizuna. The woman whom you called promiscuous was actually her.
Shizuna?
She nodded at Soheis question. Sohei did not say anything after that, and Ryuichi, seeing that their conversation had come to an end, took Shizuna and started to walk away. After walking for some time, he muttered something to her.
A lot of things are probably going to change now. I mean, he was in love with you, wasnt he?
Yes, he didbut it cant be helped. I care about you more than I do for him now. Theres no point in worrying about it.
That marked the last time she brought up Soheis name. She mustve had some thoughts on the matter, Ryuichi was sure of it. Still, she followed her feelings and chose to stay by his side.
It was a simple conclusion: she just chose the person for whom she held stronger feelingsthat was all.
