Chapter 25: Willing To

"Alright!" Eli cheered anxiously as she stood in front of a door with her two friends, Nozomi and Nico, along with the owner -well, daughter of the owner- of the place, Takami Chika.

The blonde girl took a deep breath and turned towards the other three girls. "Alright, so this is the end of Plan Fifteen for Operation KotoUmi… it is currently," Eli paused to look at her watch and continued. "Sunday, 4:33 pm. Meaning that they had half of Friday, the whole Saturday, and half of today to talk and confess, and maybe if we're lucky enough… had sex!" The tallest of the bunch grinned excitedly while her other companions nodded anxiously.

After a moment of silence, the blonde turned her head to Chika and nodded, silently giving her permission to open the door. She stood aside and watched as the energetic orange-haired girl (not Honoka) take a key out and unlocked the door. Nico chewed on her nails in fear, Nozomi rubbed her hands together praying silently to the gods above, and Eli chanted "c'mon, c'mon, c'mon" under her breath repeatedly.

Chika opened the door and all anticipation rose to the sky. Though, what the four did not expect or somehow expected to see, was the fact that Umi would be sitting back on the mini couch with her button-up white shirt loosened and a skirtless Kotori sitting on her lap as they are full-on making out. Kotori had her arms wrapped around Umi's neck, pulling her close, while Umi's hands were settled on the other girl's waist, caressing that area gently.

"Holy shit!" Eli cried out in delight, arousal, and surprise.

The two immediately stopped their hot make out session and turned their heads only to see a blushing Chika and Nozomi, a grinning Eli, and Nico giving them a thumbs up as she covers her flustered face. "W-w-what are you guys doing here?!" Umi exclaimed as she hurriedly carries Kotori to the bed and covered her bare bottom -though she did have a panty on- with the blanket.

"Hohoho! It seems that this plan was definitely a success!" Eli grinned even wider if it were even possible. Nozomi nodded agreeing. Umi glared at the four and chased after them, and seeing this, Eli's happy expression turned frantic as she ordered the other girls to run. And so they did.

When the four mischiefs got out of the room, Umi slammed the door and leaned against it so no one would come in. She took a breath and sighed, looking up and smiled at Kotori, who was still in shock. "Hey," the blue-haired girl began with a soft voice. "Why don't you dress up while I hold the door for you?" The taller girl suggested and gained a nod from the other girl.

Kotori got off the bed hurriedly, took her skirt and put it on. She looked up to see Umi focusing all her attention at the door, and this gave the ash-haired girl an idea.

The shorter girl skipped merrily towards Umi, and when she stood in front of her, the ash-haired girl caught her attention. Umi turned her head towards Kotori questioningly, "Kotori? What's wron-" But before she could finish her query, the shorter had tiptoed up and gave her a tender peck on the cheek.

Kotori winked and wore a satisfied smile when she saw a speechless red-faced Umi. "Thank you for saving me, my knight~!" And with that, Kotori left a stuttering Umi.

"Okay! Spill everything! Spare no detail!" Eli slammed her hands on the table in front of Umi's lovestruck face. The two cousins were currently at their house right now after a very (sexual) tension-filled goodbyes with their other friends. After Kotori and Umi had left the room, the latter scolded the three third-years mercilessly and then made them all pretend nothing happened, but mostly because Umi had avoided anything of the same topic.

But the said girl did question why Chika had that kind of a room, and to answer her question she replied that it was just supposed to be a normal room for their family inn, but apparently the workers had accidentally made a mistake with the doorknobs. She insisted her parents to let it stay like that and maybe that someone would pay a room that locks from the outside for their own weird purposes. And strangely enough, a lot of people had asked for reservations for that room.

After Chika's story, the group stayed silent and quietly questioned, when did humanity had turned so dirty and kinky…

"Well?" The blonde third-year pried. Umi looked up and looked at Eli in the eyes. And what she saw was glinting in her baby blue orbs were excitement, curiosity, happiness… one could even say her eyes were practically shining. That's when Umi realized something, Eli is happy for me, the blue-haired girl was mesmerized and knew she had no choice but to reveal everything to her cousin.

Umi smiled goofily and sighed dreamily, "hm, where should I start…"

Two days ago, Friday…

"I'm a typical player, y'know. You wouldn't want to get involved with me…"

"I know that's not the real you, Umi-chan."

"Kotori… how can you say you love me… I just don't understand… what's so good about me anyways…?"

Kotori chuckled and shook her head. "What are you talking about, Umi-chan? Why won't you accept that I love you?" Even though Kotori asked it in a joking manner, she was shocked to find Umi looking away with disdain visible in her eyes. The ash-haired girl smiled sadly, and with the same hand that was currently settled on the taller girl's cheek, Kotori gently caressed Umi as she moved her thumb across the other girl's soft skin. "Hey, hey… look at me…" Kotori whispered and leaned forward to get closer to Umi.

The blue-haired girl knew that it was futile to disobey, so she slowly turned her head and faced the other girl. But suddenly, Umi feels a very soft feeling on her lips. Her eyes widened a bit when she realized that Kotori is now kissing her, but she did not resist. Instead, she savoured the feeling, closed her eyes, and leaned into the kiss. It was soft. It was nice. It was...

Affectionate.

Passionate.

Warm.

Tender.

Fondness.

It was love.

Umi felt as if a million fireworks were exploding all at once in her heart. She felt as if her heart was a bicycle and the person on it is now peddling a thousand miles per second! It felt like her whole insides just started having a sugar rush! And it felt-! It felt…! It felt… familiar… Ah, that's right… this feeling. It was like no other. Because from all the girls she kissed, all the girls she slept with, all the girls she had dated, all was nothing compared to a single loving kiss from Kotori.

Kotori… Umi called in her head. That's right… Kotori…

The love of my life.

"Kyaaa! That's so cute!" Eli squealed stupidly and this succeeded to make Umi jump a bit. The blue-haired girl glared at her older cousin and growled. "S-sorry… please continue…" Eli replied sheepishly, too scared to fight back against her angry relative. Umi sighed and shook her head, spoiling Eli once again and letting her go… for now.

"Alright, so where was I?"

"The part where you're gonna say that you two had the make session of your lives!"

Umi glared at Eli, again.

"I-it's joke!" The blonde defended with a shaky peace sign… and a sweaty face. ("Hey! That's my thing!" -Mari)

Umi wanted this moment to last forever, but the damned human body needed to breathe. Kotori pulled away after a while with a heavy pant, she then smiled sweetly at Umi, and this made the blue-haired girl unconsciously smile back. "Now, will you stop talking bad about yourself and listen?" The ashen-haired girl asked playfully. Umi only nodded a bit, looking intently into Kotori's blazing amber eyes.

Kotori smiled and gave Umi a slight sigh, "during my time at Otonokizaka, I was immediately attracted to you," she began. "From how cold you were to how funny you acted... even the times when you would flirt at different girls without realizing it! It all just attracted me." Kotori leaned her head on Umi's shoulder -who evidently twitched. The ash-haired girl took a deep breath before releasing it heavily. "Oh how much I hated you for getting too close with those girls…" She mumbled onto the other girl's shoulder.

"K-Kotori?" Umi stuttered, slightly taken aback from the shyer girl's words.

"But then I started questioning myself," Kotori continued, ignoring Umi's concern. "Why was I so… into you? The question never seems to go away, so I decided to get to know you better. And you know what?" She got off from her position and grinned at Umi. "I fell in love with you!" She finished with a happier note.

The blue-haired girl couldn't help but twitch a smile on her lips. "And I'm willing to…" Kotori started once more but paused. She got up from the mini couch and snatched her cup from the small coffee table. Umi was shocked to see the girl chug down the probably cold tea then let out a satisfied 'ah' and placing it back onto the table. "I'm willing to try to remember if it means I get to be with you, Umi-chan!" With a wide grin, Kotori declared.

The other girl could only stare in awe for the first few seconds before snapping out of it. Umi smiled gently at Kotori before chuckling, "are you sure? You'll have to face a lot of fangirls."

"I'll be fine."

"How about flirty girls after me?"

"I'll slap them if I have to!"

"Crazy stalkers?"

"Uh… call the police?"

"School scandal?"

"Ignore them!"

"Heh, then what about…"

Umi got up and stood in front of Kotori. The shorter girl slowly walked backwards as Umi moved closer to her. Kotori only stopped moving when she felt the back of her knee bump into the soft bed. She sat down, hands resting on the bed. Umi kept her face near Kotori and took her chin with her thumb and index finger.

"What about my strong desire for you?" Umi asked, with a rough whisper.

Kotori grinned and leaned forward a bit, "I'll just have to get used to it…" Then Umi wasted no time and closed their distance. Having -what Eli would call it- the make out session of their lives.

"So you did have the make out session of your lives!" The blonde cousin exclaimed enthusiastically. Umi sighed and let out a light chuckle and nodded, receiving a very loud squeal from Eli. "But we didn't go further than that, she didn't want her first time in a trapped room," Umi added and succeeding to make Eli whimper sadly.

"Well, at least you're both together now, and that's a good thing!" The blonde girl jumped back to her usual energy and grin. "Ah, it's getting late, we should probably sleep." Seeing the time, Eli decided to call it a day.

The two cousins gave their farewells and goodnights before going back to their own room. But before Umi got out of the living room, she was greeted by Eli's voice once more. "Oh and by the way…" She began, giving Umi a serious look. "The Kinsuda family is coming back from their private vacation." Eli continued.

Umi's body tensed her expression turned into a scowl. The girl looked at her cousin for affirmation if what she's thinking is correct. And seeing this Eli nodded but confirmed it anyways.

"Kinsuda Haru will be coming back."
