After her confession, Hiko didn't say for a while and instead of that, she held onto tightly as if I would vanish if she let go of .
I didn't expect her confession. Nonetheless, it truly made happy. I was just wondering how she fell for . All I've done is to take advantage of her introversion whenever we're alone.
Err… It's not like I'm not hoping for her to fall for but I thought I still needed to work more for it. And in this case, I didn't have any chance to do that.
Around 10 minutes after that, Hiko broke the silence between us as I heard her whispering while she's still stuck onto my chest.
"It's weird, right? I fell in love with you when I'm still only at the level of like for you."
She also hit what I was being troubled about, eh? It's because she's probably the first who told directly that she loved when I was still a bit unconvinced if I deserved that yet.
"It's not weird, Hiko. It will eventually reach that point for . In fact, I'm really happy with your confession. Look at this, I'm smiling."
Upon hearing that, Hiko raised her head and looked at . She reached for my face and traced my lips with her thumb.
"Stupid guy, you have this charm that is unique to you. I don't know if you're aware of that or you're still the dense Ruki back when you visited our clubroom."
Unique charm, eh? But she's right, at so parts, I'm still too dense to notice sothing.
Hiko continued on caressing my lips as her eyes never left my face. I could see her fondness in her eyes and the expression on her face told that what she told was not false.
"I am aware and I accept what you truly are that's why I can let myself fall in love with you. But the others… Even if they like you or they already love you, after knowing they won't be the only one, they will be averse to it at first. If that aversion never eased up, it's possible that they will eventually give up. But looking at how many you have now, all of their aversion eased up, and they beca open to this kind of relationship with you. Am I correct?"
I see. This girl and Mina have been this sharp back then as well. Because she was more open and possibly not minding sharing with others, she could see the situation better than the other girls.
"Maybe?"
"Just continue on what you're doing for them, but you also have to exercise restraint. You kept moving from place to place as if you're running out of ti. When we accept you, we're prepared to only have you depending on your availability. If you collapse, then everyone will be worried and will suffer a loss."
Restraint again, eh? However, I seem to keep on failing at exercising that kind of restraint. Her observation that I was moving as if I'm running out of ti is correct. Most of them are saying that to , though indirectly. Just like what Shizu-senpai said yesterday.
But how will I restrain myself? Tie my hands and feet together?
"Am I getting lectured?"
"Yes, you are. If I don't lecture you this ti, who knows when you will push yourself until your utmost limit again. I still want to hear you say 'I love you' to in the future. And I'm still hoping to bring you to my father. Introduce you as the man who changed and the man who I wanted to be with. I can't have you collapsing on ."
"This… I'll keep that in mind and if you see being stupid again, lecture . Also, I'll make sure not to collapse on you."
I will expect another set of scolding with my girls. Maybe Haruko will say sothing when we go out later.
"Haru told to be honest with my feelings, and this is it. When in front of you or Haru, I will clearly express what's on my mind."
"I see. I love this part of you, Hiko."
"Why not love as a whole?"
"I told you I will soon reach that. I want to say it to you with my genuine feelings. It wouldn't be fair if I said it just for the sake of saying it."
It's not fair for her and also for the others. But yeah, just by how lovely this girl is, it's just a matter of ti. When that ti cos, I'll probably get myself more involved with that family problem of theirs. Even if she doesn't want to involve myself, surely I will be stubborn enough to find a way to help her.
"You're right. This is why I love you."
"I like you, Hiko."
"Un, I know. Kiss more…"
Hiko whispered before pulling my head towards her. Since she was asking for it, I didn't hesitate and gave it to her.
I imdiately covered her red lips with mine. From there, it didn't take long for us to evolve from just a normal kiss to sothing more passionate. With our lips overlapping each other, our feelings for each other were being poured in it. Although mine was losing from the love she's pouring in, I accepted everything.
And as we continued on that, the bed was eventually used by us.
I picked her up and put her down to it. Following that, Hiko extended her arms and pulled on top of her. While fully utilizing the softness of this bed, we once again beca entangled to each other.
With my weight pressing above her, Hiko gave full control of our current situation.
From her lips, I went down to her neck, showering it with my kisses while also picking out the spots where it would produce a reaction from her.
As I indulged myself on her spotless white neck, along with the emotion she has towards , Hiko seductively whispered to .
"I want you, Ruki…"
Upon hearing that, I went back up to look at her and confirm what I just heard. There's a possibility that she only got taken in by our current situation.
"Are you sure, Hiko? It will be different than what you experienced."
"I know… Even so, this is what I feel right now. Take and teach … This room is special for and Haruko. That's why… I want it to beco a special place for us as well."
Hiko replied. Though she's now expressing her thoughts honestly, her inherent shyness is still there.
"A special place…"
For , this might just be a hidden room that was being used by Haruko and her girls. I only got access in here through Haruko. But for Hiko, this is probably where she built her relationship with Haruko and also this is where we first t each other. It's already special enough just by that. If her first ti with will also be conducted here, then for her, this room will beco even more important than her room.
"Do you not want ?"
Since I didn't answer imdiately, Hiko probably thought that I was hesitating.
"Of course, I want you. That's what I told you when we first t. I'm just thinking if there will be a more special place than this room. But now that I think of it, this room is the most special for you."
"Y-yes. This room is where I started to change. From being an introvert to how I am right now. It's more than special now that I confessed to you here and also… I want my first ti to be done here."
As she recalled the things that happened in this room, I could sohow see the journey that she took. From being a castaway of her family because she couldn't take the pressure to becoming an introvert, this is the room that started to change her. It might've originated from such twisted relationships with us but even so… she managed to crawl back to the surface.
"I heard you and I understood. Let's make this place more special for you."
"Un. Hold , Ruki."
With a beautiful smile on her lips, Hiko stretched her arms wide, waiting for to fill the space between it.
At this mont, I already cast off the unnecessary thoughts. Even the thought of being late for going to the club to et Kana and Rae was temporarily put at the back of my mind. There's only Hiko in my eyes.
As my lips fell upon hers again, another passionate kiss between us ensued. I'm going to answer her love for . I want her, ever since Haruko introduced her, that's the thought that filled my mind. Now that we're at this point, whether I like her or I love her, I couldn't make the distinction anymore. Maybe after this, I will finally be able to let her hear it from . I don't know but maybe I'm just trying to make the distinction when it's all the sa in the first place.
In any case, this lovely girl in front of , she's mine now.
"Hiko…"
"I want to say it again. I love you, Ruki."
As the words left her mouth, that beca the trigger for everything that was about to happen.
