Soti later, we reached Fuyu’s neighborhood. Hana decided to wait outside their street while I walked Fuyu up to their gates. After all, we could already see Fubuki peeking with her small head, clearly waiting for her Onee-chan to arrive.
The mont we approached their gates, the little girl ran out, her tiny feet pattering against the pavent as she launched herself at instead of Fuyu with a gleeful squeal, "Onii-chan, you’re here! Did you take care of my Onee-chan?"
I caught Fubuki and scooped her up with a grin as her small arms wrapped around my neck. “Of course, I took care of your Onee-chan, Fubuki-chan. I also pampered her. And obviously, I gotta make sure she gets ho safe, right?”
Fubuki giggled as her eyes sparkled under the streetlight’s glow. “Yup! You’re the best, Onii-chan!”
She planted a quick, innocent peck on my cheek before squirming to be let down. I set her on the ground. She imdiately grabbed Fuyu’s hand and then teasingly snickered, “Co on, Onee-chan! Tell how Onii-chan pampered you! Are you still going to deny that... like Akane-nee, you fell in love with him?”
Fuyu shot an exasperated glare as her cheeks turned faintly pink from her little sister’s question.
Honestly, I was surprised too. Fubuki wasn’t going to take no for an answer anymore. After all, Fuyu wasn’t that great at acting like nothing was brewing between us.
“You little. Stop teasing your onee-chan. I won’t bring you to their house again next ti.” She gently poked Fubuki’s forehead but that didn’t erase the grin from the little girl.
"Hehehe, I’ll get you to spill the beans eventually, Onee-chan!” Fubuki playfully stuck out her tongue as she tugged Fuyu toward the gate. The little girl’s teasing was relentless and I couldn’t help but chuckle at how effortlessly she could always put her older sister on the spot.
Fuyu sighed, her blush deepening as she glanced back at . “You’re enjoying this too much, Ruki-kun.”
“Well, you’re both adorable. How can I not?” I replied with a grin as I stepped closer to her.
“Hmph. Keep talking, and I’ll make sure you’re the one blushing next ti.”
“Hmm? Now, I’d like to see you try that,” I shot back teasingly as I sneakily grabbed her other arm, giving it a gentle squeeze.
Fubuki, oblivious to the tension, tugged at Fuyu’s hand again, breaking the mont.
“Co onnn, Onee-chan! Stop flirting with Onii-chan and let’s go inside!” she whined, though her grin said she was loving every second of this. "Or what? If you’re gonna invite him inside, do so already. Mama will be glad too!"
"Alright. Just give us one second, Fubuki." Fuyu turned to her little sister who once again grinned at her as if saying ’I knew what you’re thinking of doing, Onee-chan’. Still, the little girl winked at before hopping away.
Fuyu and I watched the little girl skip back toward the house, her giggles echoing in the quiet night.
The mont she was out of earshot, Fuyu turned to . The streetlight cast a warm glow over her, highlighting her beautiful figure, faint flush on her cheeks and the way her lips curved into a subtle, almost mischievous smile.
“Ruki-kun,” She murmured as she closed in our distance, enough for her supple front to press against my chest. “You’re gonna pay for letting Fubuki tease like that.”
“Oh?” I raised an eyebrow, my hands instinctively finding her waist, pulling her even closer. Naturally, I kept an eye out behind her. Who knows? Fubuki and her mother might’ve been watching from a gap at their front door. “And how exactly do you plan to make pay, Fuyu?”
Her eyes shifted down and focused on my lips, then they went back up to et my gaze. “You’ll see. Next ti I have you alone, I’m not holding back.”
That’s such a great line. It made my heart throb a bit. “Good. I’m looking forward to it.”
Before she could respond, I closed the distance between our faces and captured her lips in a passionate kiss, enough to take her breath away.
Her fingers curled into my shirt as she lted into the sensation. With that, I deepened our kiss as her lips parted slightly, inviting in. I gladly took that invitation, while at the sa ti ensuring that we’re not doing sothing too risque for a child’s eye.
A minute later, Fuyu pulled back first, her breath slightly ragged with her cheeks now a vivid pink. “I... love your kisses.”
“Mhm. I’ll give you more next ti,” I teased, stealing one last quick kiss before stepping back. “Go inside before Fubuki cos back and starts a full interrogation.”
Fuyu rolled her eyes but smiled, giving my hand one final squeeze as she stepped inside their yard, “Goodnight, Ruki-kun. Don’t keep Hana waiting too long.”
I watched her disappear into their property, the gate creaking softly as it closed.
Only after making sure she’s not going to open it again did I turn back to where Hana was waiting at the edge of the street.
Her arms were crossed, her golden eye catching the light as she watched approach, a mix of impatience and sothing softer in her expression.
“Took you long enough,” She said with a sharp tone as though she’s about to impale with her gaze. “What, did you two need a whole makeout session to say goodnight?”
I chuckled as I took my place beside her again, my arm tugging her away from the street. “Jealous, Hana? Don’t be. You know I’ll pamper you just the sa. Now... let’s go before Tomori-san scolds for escorting you ho this late."
Hana clicked her tongue before saying, “You’re lucky I love this whole... escorting ho every ti I go ho with you.”
“What? Do you expect to just let you go ho by yourself?”
“No... But knowing you, you’d probably escort each of your girls ho if that’s physically possible at all. And I hate thinking how much you’re dividing yourself over us.”
“Co on. How many tis will I say I’m not dividing anything? I’m devoting myself to all of you. You’re all getting the sa.”
“Yeah, right. It’s easy math, idiot Ruki. You’re still dividing yourself into equal parts to give us all the sa treatnt. Ugh... let’s stop talking about this...” Hana pouted and then hastened her pace a bit, leaving a step behind her.
I couldn’t help but shake my head as I followed after her. I caught up to her quite quickly but instead of returning to her side, I closed in behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist, pulling her gently against as we walked. Her body tensed for a mont, but I could feel her relax almost imdiately. Her warmth seeped into as she leaned back slightly.
If soone saw us like this, they’d surely point at us for public display of affection. Luckily, the streets were already deserted at this ti.
“Don’t think you can just hug your way out of this, Ruki,” Hana sternly muttered. However, the slight quiver in her voice betrayed how much she was enjoying the closeness. Her hands rested over mine, holding them in place.
“Who said I’m trying to get out of anything?” I whispered into her ear, nibbling her lobe gently. “I’m just making sure my Hana gets the attention she deserves. Can’t have you feeling left out, can I?”
She let out a soft huff, her head tilting just enough to glance at from the corner of her golden eye. “I’m not feeling left out! And... stop being such a smooth talker, you idiot. No wonder you’ve got half the girls in school wrapped around your finger.”
“Only half?” I teasingly replied as I tightened my grip on her waist, slowing down our pace. “I must be slacking then.”
Hana elbowed lightly, but her lips curved into a reluctant smile. “Don’t push your luck, idiot. But knowing you... It’s more than likely for you to succeed in charming everyone. And I hate to see that... Stop dividing yourself..."
Ending that with a soft exhale as though she’s only airing out her frustration, Hana’s words lingered in the air.
The way she said that was clearly filled with both exasperation and concern. She’s still wrestling with the complexity of my relationships, even as she clung to .
Her hands tightened over mine, as if assuring that she wouldn’t leave . No matter what.
I couldn’t help but smile at how her tough exterior always cracked just enough to show the girl who cared so deeply.
“Alright, alright. No more dividing talk. Just you and right now, okay? Let’s make this walk ho sothing you won’t forget.”
How would I do that? Well, we’ve got to start by making the most of what little ti we have.
Before continuing our walk, we shared a kiss under the moonlight, forgetting that we were in the middle of the street.
