"Hmm…"

*Stare~~~…*

Uwaah…! Why does he have to be so close! His chin is almost on top of my shoulder! Is he doing this on purpose?!

"H-Hachiman, I can't really focus like this…" I say, trying my best not to stutter. He immediately pulled away and apologized. "Sorry, I was just really curious on how you were doing on our summer homework." He said and slightly scooted away.

"Ah no, you didn't do anything wrong or anything." I reply.

He nodded and went back to his own homework. After getting his notebook and flipping a few pages, he stopped and started reading away.

We were sitting on the floor in the middle of his room with our study materials on the table, the only sound being from his air conditioner. It was still rather early, it hasn't even reached 9:00 am yet. A few days ago he said that he was going to immediately work on our summer homework and invited me. Seeing this as an opportunity to get some time with him and also to finish things on my end as well, I accepted without a second thought.

It's a good thing that Keika isn't here, she'll be hoarding his attention the whole time if she were. He dotes on her too much and spoils her rotten, sometimes I feel like Komachi gets jealous of her and pouts when she thinks we're not looking…

"Hachiman, where's Komachi anyway?" I ask. I didn't see her when we arrived, she's usually the one who opens the door and welcomes us. We didn't linger too long in the living room since we went straight here to his room. I've already had breakfast before coming here so that takes care of some things.

I was really surprised when he came to pick me up and showed up at our doorstep. It wasn't even part of our agreement that he would have to go to my house. He isn't really a stranger at our home, but seeing him first thing in the morning was really embarrassing and took me by surprise. My Father was the one who opened the door while my Mother pulled me aside and asked me about what his intentions were. While I was hastily getting ready, he was having a chat with my Father and Taishi. He thanked him for helping Taishi out with his studies and for coming to get me. As a fellow male, I think he quite understood Hachiman's intentions and didn't think too much of it, but my Mother thought otherwise.

She was already under the impression that he was courting me…

Thanks to that line of thinking, she made me wear clothes that I wouldn't normally wear. Skirts and blouses are too feminine and don't really suit me at all… I've been fidgeting non-stop since coming here from how uncomfortable I was feeling.

"I made her do an all-nighter so she can finish her homework. We finished rather late so I decided not to wake her up yet." He briefly looked up at me and diligently returned his attention back to his task.

"Oh, I see." Seeing him look so serious makes me feel self-conscious. I should work harder too! With that, I went back to my homework. Unfortunately, I stopped in my tracks after several minutes since I stumbled upon a really hard question.

I bit my pen as I racked my head for answers. It was a math problem, specifically on polynomials and quadratic equations. I opened my notebook and read the references that we discussed in class before the Summer break started. Even after doing that, I still couldn't arrive to the correct answer. Am I missing a formula? Did I screw up the first equation or am I forgetting to place them in the correct order?

I decided to do some trial and error until my paper was literally covered with scribbled of numbers. At that point, I gave up and decided to turn to the boy beside me for help.

"Hachiman," I say to catch his attention. "can you help me out with this? I seriously don't get it."

He nodded and scooted closer. When he saw which part I was currently at, he took his own notebook and started making comparisons. It surprisingly took him quite a while to find the correct answer. I didn't really mind him being this close.

"Sorry, sometimes I still get confused at math. Ah, here we go." He said to himself and started making corrections on my work. "This here, do this, and then use this formula. Don't use the other one, this one's entirely different from before." He gave the notebook back to me and massaged his eyes.

"Thanks. Are you ok?" I ask worriedly as I watched him.

He nodded. "Just a little sleepy at all." He said before covering his mouth and yawning.

I noticed that there was some redness in his eyes and decided to point it out for him. "Your eyes are bloodshot, have you been getting enough sleep lately...?"

"No, it's been like this for a few days, I don't know why." He said and shrugged.

"You're not overworking yourself like last time, are you? Do I even need to remind you? Now that it's the Summer Break, you should relax and stay at home." I slightly furrowed my brows at him and put my hand on my hip.

He gave me a small smile that made my heart skip a beat. "Thanks for looking out for me, Saki. I really appreciate it."

"Y-You're welcome..." I say and switched my attention to my pen.

"In any case, if you're having trouble with anything else, feel free to ask me." He gave his face a light slap, as if to wake himself up.

Thanks to his help, the next few questions were relatively easy, but that didn't stop me from checking and rechecking them just in case. It took me some time to finish, and I hummed in satisfaction to myself when I asked him to compare his work with mine.

"Yep, this checks out. Good job Saki. Now, what's next?"

"Hmm, what about Japanese History? I've done some reading and I'd like to get the essay out of the way as soon as possible."

"Ok, but I'm already done with mine. I hope you won't mind if I skip this and go to Biology instead?" He got up to get his tablet when I nodded and returned to the table with it in hand. "I'm just going to look up some references."

The essay was really simple, but I had to make sure that my points were clear and concise since our Sensei in the subject was rather strict. I've already heard a few times that he scored a "0" on a major quiz just from a simple grammatical error. Hachiman was quiet as he continued reading and occasionally writing down notes on his notebook. It took me quite a while, but I finally managed to finish the essay before he was finished. I peeked and saw that he was reading on the types of cells and its internal parts.

"Oh, you're finished? That was quite fast." He said with surprise in his voice.

I shrugged at his words. "I already had the answers in my head. The only thing left for me to do was to write it down."

I took my time reading and scanning through my notes before I went to the subjects with the more difficult homework. He was totally engrossed in what he was reading, as was I. When you're alone in the room with the smartest person in your entire Year, it's quite normal to feel self-conscious and make an extra effort. So I did just that until my back and shoulders started to hurt from the prolonged lack of movement.

I stood up and did some stretches, causing some of my joints to pop. He looked up at me to see what I was doing and gave me a top-to-bottom look, and I secretly hoped that he was going to say something nice about my clothes.

"Saki, if you want, you can always lie down on my bed and study there you know…" He said and motioned to his bed a small distance away behind me. Since it looked quite welcoming, I decided to take up on his offer and took my notes and then plopped myself there. The bed sheets and pillows were soft and had his scent on them. Once I got myself more comfortable, I resumed my reading. From the corner of my eye, I saw him turn to me, as if wanting to say something. After a few moments, he shook his head and looked down.

"Saki…Saki…" I felt a hand giving my shoulder a light shake. "Saki…?"

I instinctively buried myself deeper in the pillow that I rested my head on. "Nooo… Just a few more minutes…" His bed felt too comfortable and I really didn't feel like getting up anytime soon.

I heard him sigh and sit down on the bed. "Saki…it's been four hours. We're gonna have lunch downstairs in a little while…"

At his words, my head shot up and I propped myself up with my elbows and turned to him with my messy hair. "N-No way…"

He wordlessly shrugged and showed me his phone's screen. It was nearly 12:00 pm. I sighed dejectedly and buried my face in his pillow again. "Ugh, so much wasted time… Why didn't you wake me up?" I stretched out my hand and pinched his side. He just laughed it off then held and played with it, to my surprise and secret delight.

"You looked so peaceful in your sleep that I'd feel bad if I did. You were akin to…what was it… The Princess that's popular in children's stories in the West…" He thought for a bit and then snapped his fingers.

"Ah, you looked like Sleeping Beauty!"

"..." It's a good thing that I was covering my face since I'm probably red as a tomato right now.

I heard him start to snicker. "Oho, what's this? Is Saki embarrassed~…?" I finger started poking the exposed skin on my neck, and if I could have went deeper into the pillow, I would. I felt ticklish, so I covered my entire head with another pillow.

"Leave me alooooone~…"

All of a sudden, he started pulling on the pillow. "Oho, an embarrassed Saki? Come on, let me see your face~." He teased as I tightened my grip on it.

"Stop it~!" I put both of my hands over it. Making him see my face right now is the last thing that I want to happen. He grunted in frustration when his initial attempts failed. I was about to smirk to myself when I felt two hands grip my sides and forcefully flip me over. Of course, the sudden contact made me feel ticklish so I couldn't stop a squeal from coming out of my lips.

"KYAH!"

Since the pillow that I used to cover my neck was now under me, I chose to cover my face with my hands instead. I lost my strength when he held my wrists, he pulled them aside exposing my red face while I bit my lip and looked to the side.

Uwaah! He's so close!

I just gave up and let my hands fall limp. He then started poking my face like an idiot. "Hehehe, Saki's face is so cute…" He snickered and teased.

"S-Shut up… W-Whose fault do you think it is? I-Idiot…" I mumbled and blushed at the closeness of our faces. I gave his chest some light punches to take his attention away from looking at my face for too long.

All it did was amuse him, the small teasing grin on his face slightly grew wider and he chuckled. I was honestly a bit disappointed when he lifted himself from me, but that's something that he doesn't need to know. He checked the time and asked me if I wanted something snack on while we waited for lunch to get ready. "Oh, it's fine, I'm not really hungry." I say.

"I'm gonna get something to eat. I'll be right back." He said and stood up and went outside, leaving me alone in his room. The instant that he closed the door, I sighed in relief.

"Uwaah, I should have worn shorts or something. I hate skirts…" I mutter to myself. I fixed my skirt and smoothed out the creases on my blouse after I sat up and went back to the small table on the floor. I don't normally wear stockings since they feel itchy and uncomfortable, but I wore one today since he might like it.

"A compliment or two wouldn't have hurt…"

I was waiting and waiting for him to tell me but it never came. I knew it, he doesn't like non-feminine girls like me…he's probably put off by what I was wearing right now. Someone like Yuigahama is definitely his type. Not really sure about that blond bimbo or Ebina though, I'm not getting those kinds of vibes coming from them. They treat him like how they treat the other blondie in class. But that blond bimbo, maybe she likes the both of them but can't pick who's better? What was his name again…? Hayasomething?

"More importantly, what's gotten into him? He's always been such a huge tease but… It's like I-I turned on a switch inside him or something…" I shook my head before my thoughts start to wander off to who knows where. He must be feeling good today or something…

To pass the time, I checked my phone and saw that my Mother had messaged me. When I opened it, she was telling me to "Be a good girl and don't cause trouble for him!". I rolled my eyes at her message and put down the phone. Seriously, she's got the wrong idea. I-It's not like we're dating or anything, w-well, not yet at least.

Ah, but I might bet getting too ahead of myself!

Do I like him? Yes.

Do I want to be his girlfriend? Of course.

As far as I can tell, he doesn't look at me that way. I mean, he's still single. As of now, I have some rivals, but they don't seem to have made a move on him yet. The biggest one would definitely be the StuCo President and maybe Yuigahama. They're really close, but it could be that it's just purely admiration since whenever the topics would go to the StuCo President, he would shower her with nothing but praises to the point where I get a little bit jealous. Yuigahama is giving off mixed signals from what I have observed, it's like she hasn't made up her mind yet. I have a feeling that the blondie and Ebina only looks at him as a friend, but I could be wrong about the former. Sometimes she's a bit needy and nags at him, he gets annoyed at her but doesn't get to the point where anger comes in. It's like he's treating her like a sister or something.

As for that upstart Yukinoshita girl…she seems too reserved to act but I don't know her too much. I'm only assuming that she likes him because of the fact that she's in the same club as him.

The latest one would be that clingy First-Year girl that he added to the Council. I've seen how she acts around him and she's like a stereotypical Kouhai smitten with her Senpai. I don't know if it's all an act or if she's genuinely like that. He doesn't seem to mind her antics from the handful of times that I've seen her, in fact, he seems to be amused.

He's kind, smart, hardworking, responsible and great with kids. Plus he's a gentleman and treats girls very well. What's not to like about him? He's the first friend that I made at school, and I was his second. He said that the StuCo President was his first and I won't lie that I'm a bit jealous of her. I don't know if he'll mind going out with me, but I'm already on very good terms with his parents and sister, and he already knows my folks and siblings too so…

Wait…

Our families know each other, me and Keika would drop by at his house, we're very relaxed around each other and he doesn't seem to mind when I rest my head on his shoulder on the sofa, we call each other by our first names, his Parents like me very much and Komachi even already calls me "Saki-nee"… In other words…

Hmm…

Now that I think about it…

I'm girl that he'll most likely end up with! I have the best cards in-hand and the strongest contender of all too!

An uncontrollable giggle came out and I didn't even bother covering my mouth. The door opened and I saw him go inside carrying a tray with a bowl filled with potato chips as well as two glasses of water.

"Saki? Did something good happen…?" He asked as he raised a brow. It must have been weird, seeing me giggling at myself. I watched him put the tray on the table and sit back next to me.

"Oh nothing, I just thought of something really nice~..." I say and smiled sweetly at him. The giddiness wasn't going away anytime soon, might as well tease and poke him for some reactions.

"Hmm… Do you mind telling me what it is then?"

"Nope~! That'll ruin the fun~."

My behaviour must have weirded him out since he tilted his head to the side, then scooted closer to me and put a hand on my forehead. He looked legitimately confused as I just waited for him to finish. "…?"

"Hehehehe… I'm not sick you know."

He nodded to himself when my temperature felt normal and looked at me as if I was a difficult math problem that needed to be solved. "Huh, nothing seems to be wrong… Wait, are you and Komachi playing a prank on me?" Without another word, he stood up and opened his closets, pulled off the covers off the bed and even checked under it.

I was just giggling and watching him do all of that while eating some of the chips that he brought with him. In the end, he just sighed and gave up before sitting back down next to me. I wrapped my arms around his left arm and rubbed my head on his shoulder, giggling like a lovestruck maiden. Ah, he smells so nice and feels so warm… He arched a brow at me when I looked up at him, there was now some pink on his pale cheeks.

"S-Saki…? What's gotten into you all of a sudden…?" He asked as he attempted to take his arm off of me, I just narrowed my eyes and tightened my hold on him.

"Oh nothing, I'm just feeling very happy that's all~!" I reply and gave him my brightest smile.

It caught him off guard since he looked away as his blush started to grow more prominent. "O-Oh, is that so? Today must be my lucky day then…" He said.

I tilted my head at his words. "Hmm? What do you mean Hachiman?"

"I rarely get to see you smile like that since you're normally serious at school, much less one as charming as the one you're making right now. This is such a lucky treat~…" He said and gave me a teasing grin.

I felt my face get warm from his sudden compliment. "Huh?! Wha-?!"

His grin grew wider and he took out his phone from nowhere. "Let me snap a photo real quick and I'll make it my wallpaper~…" He managed to take a single photo before I knew what was happening.

"H-Hey! Hachiman!" I yell out and quickly reach for his phone. He leaned away and laughed at my red and very much flustered face.

"No can do~!" He teased and held me back with his other hand. I properly sat up and fixed my skirt, I was wearing black stockings anyway so it would be hard for him to see anything that he shouldn't. I lunged at him to try and get his phone and delete the photo.

He must have been expecting me since he rolled away with a stupid smirk on his face and snapped another photo. "Oh this one's fantastic! Your infuriated and blushing expression is absolutely adorable!".

I lunged at him again, this time faster but he still managed to avoid me. "Fuahaha! You look like you're secretly enjoying this Saki!" He taunted the phone on my face and pulled it away before I could reach it. He laughed and quickly crawled towards his bed.

"Grrr! As if! Gimme that phone!" I growled in frustration as I went all-fours and went to him. I finally got him when he had his back to me and we fell on the soft bed together. I was a bit worried that I might have hurt him since I heard an "Oof!" come from him, but my worries immediately went away when he started laughing like an idiot.

He faced me, I was now on top of him with my hands on his chest, I was practically straddling him for the lack of a better word. But I didn't care. "Fuahahaha! You'll have to do better than that if you want it!" He exclaimed loudly and hid the phone behind his back. My eye twitched in annoyance at how he was being such a tease. Though I'd never admit that I'm secretly enjoying this.

I reached my arms around him to try and get a hold on his hands, my face was on his chest but I didn't care much at the point. "Who knew you could be so aggressive like this Saki! I love this side of you! Hahaha!" He exclaimed and teased. Every time I thought I could finally grab onto him, he'd somehow wiggle his hands away from my grasp and escape once more.

His words made me feel something, and I opened my mouth to reply before I could even stop myself.

"That's right! I've had it with being passive all the time! I'm gonna get what I want!" I mimicked his smirk and looked down defiantly at him. I finally managed to hold his wrists, but the only problem is that he won't let go of the phone.

"Well said, but how will you be able to retrieve my phone?" He replied cheekily. I narrowed my eyes and pulled back my hands since I knew exactly what I was going to do. He arched a brow when I rested my hands on the bed, effectively trapping him underneath me. I said nothing as I just stared at him with an "UnSaki-like" grin. He must have realized the sudden close proximity of our faces since he blushed. "U-Um…Saki…?"

Without any warning, I made my hands go to his sides and started tickling him.

He instantly started laughing from my touches. "PFFFF AHAHAHAHA! STOP! STOP IT!" When he tried to sit up with his hands behind him, I pushed him back down and focused most of my weight on my chest since he attempted to roll and wiggle away from my hands. As effective as my attacks were, his hands were still behind him, not keen on giving up yet.

His legs were jerking as he laughed, I was starting to see tears on the corners of his eyes.

"H-HEY! HAHAHAHAHA!" His complaints would be instantly interrupted by fits of laughter as my hands went up and down his sides.

"Eep!" I let out a small squeak as I felt him brush against my inner thighs when he raised his knee in an attempt to push me away. I looked down on him to see if he did that deliberately, but I pushed those thoughts aside since he was too busy trying to keep his sanity while being attacked like this.

"L-Let me go!" He said with an expression of a mix between frustration and mirth.

"Give me your phone!"

"Nope, not gonna do that!" He laughed and stuck out his tongue defiantly.

When he used his other hand to get my face as far away as possible, I opened my mouth and bit him hard. He yelled out in surprise and immediately retracted it.

"Ew gross!"

"S-Shut up!"

His laughter filled the room, sometimes he'd rock the bed when he jerked his legs while attempting to untangle them from my own. But I wasn't about to let that happen. We almost fell down together when he squirmed too much. I felt his abdomen contract every time he laughed, as if the toned muscles underneath was trying to make their presence known. My breasts pressed themselves against his chest, this would have made the both of us start blushing madly, but the situation didn't allow any of that anymore.

"Oh~, I didn't know that your weak spot was…here! And here!"

"AH! OI YOU CHEEKY LITTLE- AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"F-Fine! I give up! I yield!" To make things clear, he raised both of his hands with his phone on his right one. I huffed out in relief, any more of this and things would have gradually become more awkward. "Here you go…" He said and gave it to me as his eyes were covered by his bangs.

Before I could even touch it with my fingers, I felt him suddenly wrap his arm around my waist and flip me. Now it was him who was on top. I was too wide-eyed and surprised to say anything, all I could do was rest my hands limply on the bed as I looked up at him. My long hair that was tied in its usual ponytail was now sprawled out around me. He looked into my eyes with a coy smile, I felt my cheeks get warm and a unconsciously gulped. T-This position is r-rather…

"H-Hachiman? W-W-What are you planning to do…?" I say with a quivering voice. I was too frozen to do anything when he lowered himself until I felt his lips touch my ear.

"Payback, of course…" He whispered, there was something under his voice that made my heart skip a beat and an unfamiliar feeling swell up inside me. I couldn't help a tiny pleasurable whimper escape from my lips. My heart was beating so fast it might as well pop out of my chest and I gripped the hem of my skirt as I fidgeted my legs.

When I felt his hands through the thin fabric of my blouse tickle my sides, I was already hollering with laughter."NO DON'T EVEN- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I'm very ticklish person, and the slightest poke at my ribs would send me cringing away from whoever did it. I tried pushing him away, but I was instinctively covering my belly as I laughed from his touches. From the thin opening of my tightly shut eyes, I saw him grinning and laughing at my expense.

"Haha! Now you know how it feels! Who's laughing now?!" He cried out and intensified his assault. I arched my back from his tickles but that only seemed to have given him more places to tickle. His hands went up and down my sides and would sometimes poke my back, his knee was already between my inner thighs, my skirt was already as mess but at least I still had my black stockings on.

For the 2nd time of the day, I'm quite glad that I decided to wear them.

Thanks Mom for forcing me to wear them!

"Hm~, I wonder where Saki-chan's weak points are~… Maybe here~?"

"AHAHAHAH!"

"Oh my, that was such a cute reaction~. What about here~?"

"HEY- HAHAHA!"

His fingers at my sides went dangerously upwards until I felt my breath hitch and goosebumps start to form all over my body. I accidentally and unknowingly let out a girly moan when his fingers brushed against the side of my breasts. Thankfully, he didn't seem to have noticed it. My mind was too preoccupied and conflicted on what to do; I desperately wanted him to delete those photos because of the embarrassment but on the other hand I really don't mind us being silly like this. And I won't deny that I'm loving and enjoying our moment, I haven't laughed like this in a long time.

"KYAAAAAAH!" I squealed loudly when he tickled the small area under my armpit, that was too much for me since I quickly made my arms stick to my sides. Unfortunately, I had unknowingly included his hands. In other words…

"Huh?" I felt something on my chest area and looked down.

Both of his hands were touching my breasts.

His eyes went wide as we both just stared at each other. He looked into me and then to his hands which were still holding them. I looked down and I noticed that a button had accidentally come undone, it must have happened earlier. After several seconds dumbstruck, the reality of the situation dawned on him and he immediately retracted his hand. He looked to the side with a blush and I bit my lower lip, yet he was still on top of me.

"I…sorry. I didn't mean it…" He bit his lip as he said it.

I moved away some strands of my hair which partly covered my eyes. "Y-Yeah, I believe you. I-It was just an accident, we were playing too roughly anyway. S-Something like this was b-bound to happen…a-although…" I say with a shaky voice as I rubbed his arm with my other hand and locked his leg with my thighs.

"I d-didn't really mind it…" I say with a tiny voice as I looked to the side from the embarrassment. From the corner of my eye, I saw him make a surprised expression. He was at a loss.

"O-Oh…" He watched my fingers as they lightly caressed his hand all the way up to his shoulders. It took everything I had not to cover my face from the embarrassment.

"..."

"..."

"...Do you dislike me…Hachiman?"

He immediately shook his head. "No, I can't think of a single reason."

His words make my heart skip a beat and I felt so glad and happy. When I smiled, the blush on his face intensified "I see, then…" He attempted to lift himself from me but I held him in place with my hands.

"No. Not yet~." I say firmly with a small grin.

When he tried it again, I locked my thighs tighter around his leg. "B-But-" I hushed him with a single finger to his lips when he tried to verbally protest.

"Let's stay like this for a little while longer." He sighed and nodded at my request after thinking for a few moments.

"S-Sorry again for…you know."

I let out a giggle and raised my hand to pinch his cheek, he didn't try and avoid it. "Stop apologizing, it was only an accident. More importantly, there's still something missing…" I narrowed my eyes and gave him a teasing grin.

"What is it?"

I pouted and pulled his cheek from his answer. "It's something that a guy usually says when he invites a girl over~…" I say and let go.

He turned to the side with a thoughtful expression as I patiently waited for him to figure it out. When he finally did, he looked down on me with a small smile.

"You look lovely."

I smiled up at him as I felt my cheeks get warm from his words. "Thank you."

"Sorry for it being late and all."

"Better late than never." I say and we both chuckled.

"You should wear clothes like these more often. It suits you very much" He grinned and I bet I got even redder.

"F-Feminine clothes make me feel strange, that's the reason why I wear work pants in Angel Ladder. Not to mention that I might get hit on by the patrons if I showed too much skin..." I say.

His right eye glinted menacingly when I told him the truth. "Well, whoever even thinks of doing it will get their elbows dislocated and their jaws broken." He said, and I have a feeling that he wasn't kidding. I'm glad that he's protective of me though.

I touched the tip of his nose with my finger. "Thanks alot for keeping your workers safe, Boss~." I say and smirked. He shook his head and rolled his eyes at my words. "You should at least say that to someone like my Mother, not to me…"

He dropped by Angel Ladder a week or two ago to play a prank on me. I should have realized it sooner when he walked through the doors. One of my coworkers attempted to give him a slight bow, but he raised his hand to stop him from doing so. Our Manager got nervous and reckless, checking to see if everything was in order. I didn't know what to do, so I hid behind the staff room's door to peek from behind it. Who would have imagined that he would casually take a quick look around, and go inside without a care in the world. He found me frozen behind the door, and when he was right in front of me, he just had this stupid grin on his face and said:

"Yo Saki."

Even after he explained the situation, I still couldn't work properly with his presence in the place. My movements and speech became stiff since I became too self-conscious. He just had some tea and dessert on a table in front of the area where the piano was being played. Sometimes he'd just look at my direction until we lock eyes and he'll smirk at me. When my shift was finally over, I decided to reschedule it so I don't go out in the early hours of the morning after our little talk before, he waited for me and so we can go out together. I thought he was with Auntie, but I was surprised when he said that he came all the way there by himself.

I even fell asleep on the train home, where he put my head on his shoulder for me to rest on. When we arrived home, my Mother was there and made him eat dinner with us. My siblings were asleep when we came, but Keika was still awake and joined us at our dinner table. She was elated and wanted him to stay for the night, but he had to go. I saw him off at our doorstep when it started to get late and thanked him for bringing me home.

When I asked him why he did it, all he said was:

"I just wanted to. That's all."

Now that I think about it, maybe it was his way of saying that he-

I was brought back from my inner thoughts when a finger suddenly poked my side, causing me to make a giddy yelp of surprise.

"Hellooo? Sakiiii? Are you in there? Don't go spacing out now~." He said and tickled me again to get my attention.

"Kyaaaaah~! Stop it, hehehehe~!" I giggled with delight and got back at him by gently smacking away his hands. We kept going at it for several minutes until it turned back to our original play, my giggles and his laughter filling his room.

"O-Ohh~…" His hands slowly grew bolder, it turned into something more slow and sensual as they went up and down my sides. My giggles became low hums, and then moans of delight. Sometimes, he would slowly brush against my breasts and I watched him look at them with growing desire. I closed my eyes at some point to focus on his touches that caused sparks of pleasure go up my spine, causing goosebumps to form all over my hot and sensitive body.

I didn't hold back my low moans and whimpers of pleasure and I pushed him on with small nods whenever we would make eye contact.

I rubbed both of my soft thighs against his leg to get an unspoken message to him. He gulped but said nothing as I waited for him to act. Ah this is making me feel all hot and bothered… My head is spinning and I can't think straight…he's so close. I could just lurch forward or wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him… My desire for him is going growing by the second.

Haaahh...haahh...

I want him...

"Should we stop...?" He asked in a low and unsure voice.

"No.. Not yet." I reply.

His left hand brushed against the side of my breast, and then went lower and lower until they reached my hips. He passed my crumpled skirt and went to my leg where he began slowly touching and tracing my inner thighs. Since I was wearing mid-thigh stockings, I felt his fingers make contact with my soft and delicate skin, causing me to shiver with pleasure. He traced my skin, going up and down but never high enough to reach there.

I took his other hand and led it at the end of my thin blouse, hoping that he would get the message. He said nothing at first, and I was about to pout and tell it to him directly but then I felt him go under.

"Ahhhh~~…oh~~…" I moaned when he began feeling and caressing my sides and abdomen.

"S-Saki…are you sure about this…?" He asked me in a voice that brought me back from my mild state of bliss.

I raised myself a bit, my cheeks brushed against his own ones. He was warm, and I whispered tenderly to his ear as he shivered from the contact from the contact of my lips. "You can do whatever you want with me…" I licked and a gently nibbled on his earlobe to get my point across. He has to be the one to make the move right now…a little push is all he needs…and then…

He'll belong to me.

I pulled away and bit my lip as I batted my eyelashes at him. It's effect was intense, there was something in his eyes now that ignited a fire inside me and made me rub my thighs against him in anticipation. I stared deeply into his eyes and our noses were almost touching.

"So..what do you…want to do…?"

I lowly whispered to him, my voice had become sultry and seductive without me noticing. I led my hand to his chest where I caressed him with my fingertips through his shirt. He began lowering himself, going agonizingly slow as I waited for our lips to finally meet.

I felt him barely brush against my own, our hot and heavy breaths making our senses dizzy as I waited for the moment to come. We both want this, the desires in our eyes and the heat that our bodies emitted was evidence in itself. I don't care anymore, I want him so bad. I parted my lips and readied my hot and wet tongue for what was about to happen…

Until we heard the unmistakable sound of a doorknob being turned and the door itself opening.

It was too late to do anything since we turned our heads to the door to see a mop of black hair with an ahoge enter the room. My blood went cold and I couldn't move when I heard and saw who it was.

"Haa-chaan~! Saki-chan~! Lunch is rea-"

*Thud*

Hikigya Hitomi, the Mother of the boy on top of me, dropped her phone and stood at the door, wide-eyed and mouth agape while still wearing an apron around herself. Her mouth slowly opened and closed as she tried to find the right words to say to address our very risque position

We were frozen on the spot, his hands still under my shirt and between my inner thighs. Our faces red and breaths hot as we both stared at his Mother. Several tense seconds went by and not one of us had still moved.

Auntie took a second glance at where his hands were and her face burst with crimson. As if suddenly realizing the reason why, I got disappointed when he withdrew his hands and sat up straight. I closed my legs and fixed my skirt but still remained lying on the bed.

"O-Oh, H-Haa-chan, S-Saki-chan… A-A-Ah… I-I-It looks like I c-caught the both of you in a bad t-t-time!" She laughed awkwardly and quickly took her phone from the ground.

"A-A-Auntie! A-Ah…!" I start but it became nonsensical stutters in the end.

"M-Mom! We were j-just…playing! I-It's not w-what you think!" Hachiman said, to try and explain things.

Auntie shook her head in a blur. "N-No need to say anything you t-two! D-Don't worry I understand! I-I'll pretend that I didn't s-see anything… S-So, just go downstairs w-when you're done-I mean ready! READY! I MEANT READY! So…umm...bye b-bye...?!" She gave us a shaky wave and slowly closed the door behind her.

Then there was an awkward silence.

A silence so deafening and choking that I wanted to crawl in a hole and live there forever.

Hachiman was still unmoving like as a statue, looking at the door with an expression of pure defeat. If it wasn't for the current situation, I would have laughed at him.

"Saki." He said and turned to me, his face still very much red.

"H-Hmm?"

Just like his Mother, he scratched the back of his head and gave out an awkward laugh. "T-Things got a b-bit intense back there…"

"Y-Yeah…" I say in a barely audible voice. I watched his eyes slowly wander all over my body, making me gulp and feel embarrassed. I-I must have made him very much aroused… I can't blame him since I'm the same too… Ah, the way he's looking at me right now, it's making me feel hot again… I bit my lips and tried to get a hold of myself. He's still looking at me, he must be thinking that I'm about to initiate it again. If things keep going on like this, it's only a matter of time until we…w-we…

…do something…

lewd…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

I can't be thinking about those things yet! It's too early!

I lightly kicked him when his gaze lingered for too long on my chest and skirt. "O-Oi!" He apologized and I sat up and began buttoning up my blouse and fixing my skirt. I turned and pouted at him when I felt his stare, to which I pinched and twisted his cheek.

"D-Do you think I should go and explain things to my Mother?" He asked.

I turned to him with a conflicted expression. "I-I think you should give her some time to process what happened. It's also our fault s-since we got too into it…" I say with a slight blush after I sat up.

"..."

"..."

"Y-You p-perv…" I turned and pouted at him as I covered my body with my hands.

He looked at me with disbelief, his face becoming even more red than possible. "H-Haaaah?! Y-You-! Y-You didn't even try and s-stop me!"

"T-That's because-!" Now it was my turn to become speechless. I didn't really have any excuse since I was the one who deliberately pushed him on. I think most of the blame goes to me, I k-kept making those lewd sounds, that must have flipped a switch inside the b-both us us... Uwaah, so this is the result of getting carried away by the heat of the moment… "J-Just shut up! It was both our f-fault!"

"H-Hmph, if you put it that way… Still, y-you must have been really feeling good if you-" Before he could finish what he was going to say, I put both of my hands over his mouth.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUPP! I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" I scream and shook my head. I don't want to hear about what he was going to say! I didn't even want to think about it!

I want to cry from the embarrassment.

"Ok ok jeez that I was just kidding. Ah, were you trying to kill me…?" He muttered and rubbed his red cheek after I pulled on it until it was going to tear off.

Uwaaah, this is the worst…! Why did this have to happen?! He must think that I'm a perverted girl…

I had no idea what to do so I just looked down and fiddled with my fingers. He got up and took the bowl of chips on the table and then went back to me. He quietly started eating, and I likewise did the same. That was all we did until we finished the bowl and he handed me a glass of water. After quenching our thirst, we went back to just sitting and keeping quiet.

"Have you calmed down?"

I nodded. "Yeah…"

"I see, same here… So…what do you want to do…?"

"I don't know… Crawl in a hole and shut myself there forever… I want to cry..." I reply in a depressing voice and just stared at the door. W-Why did Auntie have to come at the worst time possible…!?

"Oh come on, don't be like that. I have a better idea." He said in a cheery tone.

I turn to him, not really expecting anything. "Oh? Then let's hear it."

He wordlessly put his arm around my shoulder and whispered into my ear. "Do you want to play again…?"

Words cannot describe how embarrassed I was. I just looked at him utterly speechless for several seconds, my face reddening to astronomical levels as I felt my eyes start to water. He had his usual stupid grin on his face as he tried to suppress his laughter. I then went down on the bed and screamed into his pillow, the sound being effectively muffled as I kicked and jerked my legs.

"KYYAAAAAAAHHHHH~~~!"

"S-Saki? Saki?! Hey! That was just a joke! A JOKE! I WASN'T SERIOUS!" He exclaimed in a loud voice and put a hand on my shoulder.

That was literally my last memory since I passed out from the embarrassment.

Hello and welcome back!

How are you lot doing? Wonderful I hope! Anyway, Season 3 popped up a week or two ago, so make sure to keep up-to-date with the rest of the fandom. I literally get spoiled the second it finishes airing since most of my weeb groups in FB are hyped to the MAX!

Ok back to the fanfic!

HACHIMAMA WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COME AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME?! Looks like their little "playing" almost transformed into something else huh. The both of them wanted it, maybe this chapter sealed the deal with these two? I guess even Hachiman isn't immune to teenage male hormones as he initially thought!

Well, I won't spoil too much!

Review, follow, favourite or PM if you want.

See you on the next chapter!
