Megumi woke up to a sense of calmness.

She didn't dare move, savoring the peace in her half-asleep mind. It was very early in the morning, after a night of another party in Zenji's room, so it was unusually quiet in the dorm due to everyone still sleeping off the juice. Even Isshiki-senpai would still be a bit sluggish at this time. The blue-haired female knew that stress of the day would fall on her soon enough. A year and a half ago she would be worrying the moment she had opened her eyes. However, she had grown much more confident in herself as time went on, allowing her to have more peaceful moments like this.

However, as she stretched, her calmness disappeared.

Pain shot up her body. It wasn't agonizing pain, more soreness than anything, but it was enough to have her gasp in surprise. The second thing that she noticed was the blanket that was snugly around her was not a blanket at all as it started to move on its own.

"Oh, you're awake?" A sleep laden voice rumbled next to her.

"Eh?" Megumi squeaked in surprised as she scrambled into a sitting position. She hissed again at her soreness. Luckily, the room was just bright enough for her to see who her mystery bedmate was.

Isami was staring back at her with concern.

"Are you okay?" He asked, sitting up as well. "Did I scare you?"

She didn't answer right away. All she could do was to stare at him as her mind struggled to shake the fog of sleepiness and shock. It was late summer, so the younger twin was in his 'slim' mode. Half of her actual blankets were gathered low on his hips, showing off his bare chest. What drew her attention were the dark marks that stood out in his chest.

Wait.

Those were hickeys.

Megumi remembered giving him those hickeys last night. In fact, she finally remembered everything from last night.

"Isami, we slept together…" She mumbled dumbly, unconsciously covering her bare chest with her arms. It was a futile effort, as they had both seen each other already bare, but she couldn't help it.

"I know." Isami's voice was low and cautious. Megumi glanced at him again. He hadn't taken his gaze off her yet. "How are you feeling?"

Megumi knew that she should be panicking. She should be ashamed. She should be embarrassed and stressed that something like this happened when she wasn't married. But, for some reason…

"I feel…strangely calm." She admitted. "And a little sore, to be honest."

"Sore?" Isami bit his bottom lip. Megumi knew that it was a nervous habit of his. "Was I…your first?"

Megumi nodded.

"Merda." The twin muttered, looking away. Megumi did not understand the word, but she could tell by the tone of voice that he felt bad at the revelation.

"Isami," She grabbed his arm without hesitation, causing him to gaze at her again. "Don't feel sorry."

"But I…you should have had someone better…" He sighed. "I really like that we were close before this happened and if I ruined it because I let my feelings get the better…"

Megumi, becoming irritated at him berating himself, pulled him towards her.

"Don't feel sorry," She repeated. "because I did the same thing as well."

"Megumi…" She barely had the chance to see the realization come across his face before he kissed her eagerly. "Non sai quanto mi hai reso felice."

"Wh-what?" The female giggled at Isami's slip into his native language.

"Ah. Sorry. I said, 'you don't know how happy you've made me'."

"Oh." Megumi smiled. "I'm glad as well." She ran a thumb across one of the bruises she had left on his skin. "I do have to apologize for the hickeys, though."

"Oh, don't worry." A devilish grin appeared on his lips as he wrapped his arms around the blue haired female. "I'll get my revenge right now." With that, he grazed his teeth on one of her pale shoulders. She shuddered, urging Isami to continue marking her skin. She closed her eyes and allowed her hands to roam his back.

"Tadokoro…" Isshiki's voice floated through the pipe into her room, making the both of them freeze. She could feel the missing panic from earlier finally appearing as the voice went on.

"It's a beautiful morning. Let's go outside to the garden and enjoy our youthful summer days!"

"Y-yeah!" She stuttered out. "Let me get ready!"

"I'll see you there!"

"Ah, yes." Isami mumbled, inspecting the fresh mark on her shoulder. "Other people."

"What are we going to tell them?" She paled. "Um…ha…"

"Hey," Isami pulled her to his chest. "Calm down. We don't have to tell anyone about us if you don't want to."

"No?"

"Nope." He kissed the top of her head. "To be honest, I don't want to, either. I want you all to myself for a while. If we tell everyone now, we won't have peace for a long time."

"Let's not even tell them." The suggestion was out of her mouth before she was fully able to comprehend it.

"You mean, fool around as much as we can before our friends can put two and two together?"

"Yeah." Megumi slid out of bed. She could feel Isami's gaze on her for a moment before he did the same.

"You continue to surprise me, Megumi." The Italian chuckled.

"What can I say? I hang around surprising people."
