Chapter 263: Belonging to Each other (1/2)
After a short kiss, Amane accompanied Mahiru into the bedroom.
Mahiru had visited the bedroom a few times already, but she was still a little tense, and her hand holding Amane’s was a little tighter.
In turn, Amane smiled as he gently stroked his fingers over her palm to get her to relax, and held it as he led her onto the bed.
So Mahiru sat on the bed, shivering away, looking embarrassed, resembling a rabbit who was to be eaten by a wolf.
Once he saw how adorable she was, he sheathed back the fangs that were about to be exposed at his prey, sat next to her, and patted her head to coax her.
He said he would not do anything, but she was still nervous, probably because it was the bedroom.
“I’m not going to eat you. Didn’t I say that I’ll have you as a dakimakura today?”
“I-is that so?”
“…Are you looking forward to it?”
“No-not at all! It-it is just that, Amane-kun, you…”
“Me?”
“…You look so composed, and so manly. I-it feels embarrassing. Y-you meanie.”
So Mahiru fidgeted and shriveled as she looked up at Amane, looking awkward. Amane thought to himself that he did well on the surface, and smiled.
Truly, he might look composed, but inside, he was not. Rather, he could not be composed simply because he understood her somewhat.
He only remained composed, for he knew that if he was too anxious, he would terrify Mahiru. Also, he felt that if he panicked, he would not be manly at all.
“I told you before that I’m not exactly the most composed. I just want to show you my cool so, so I didn’t look that way.”
“So will you show it to me if I say I want to have a look?”
“No.”
“Meanie.”
“It’s embarrassing to be blushing and stammering.”
It was five months since they started dating, and if he was to blush whenever thy kissed or petted each other, that would be too embarrassing.
Amane felt that a female would rather he was a reliable person, and that it would be better if Mahiru could be calmed down like this. However, she cautiously pinched the hem of his shirt.
“…I want to see you as you are Amane-kun. Please take it as my willfulness, please?”
She asked softly and uneasily. Amane put his hands on his face, and sighed.
It seemed his bravado was unnecessary.
“…Look, I’m acting cool in front of you because I like you. Please understand.”
So Amane embraced Mahiru and pulled her to his side, his forehead on her shoulder. She froze for a moment, and one could hear a soft giggle.
“You are always cute and cool.”
“No need for the cute part.”
“Fufu…I have gained lots then, since I saw both sides to you.”
Her joyous words left Amane unable to speak. He turned her onto the bed, trying to hide his embarrassment, it seemed.
He did it carefully to minimize the impact, and the most he did was to shake her. He did not consider however the shock to Mahiru’s heart, and his action had her blinking furiously in shock.
Shame finally won after Mahiru kept staring at him, so he embraced her tightly, and buried his face into her large lumps.
The feeling of the lumps were warm, fluffy and very soft, probably because of the bunny pajamas. The sweet refreshing fragrance of hers was wonderful beyond words.
Amane might be excited if the vibe Mahiru had was the imagination she was worried yet expectant for, but as she was completely relaxed, he had no real desire to do anything more, and merely sank his body and mind into the comfort and bliss.
Mahiru tensed up, but once she saw that Amane did not do anything, she started patting his head. It felt good.
“You really like to fawn today too.”
“…Can’t I do that?”
“Yes yes.”
Mahiru probably saw that he was embarrassed, and gently let out a delighted giggle
“You really are bold today, Amane-kun.”
“I just want to touch you more today.”
“That is fine, but well…it feels normal. Actually, well…I thought you would be more direct.”
“No well, I like to touch, and want to know you more, but then again, I feel fulfilled just experiencing your body warmth when I’m next to you.”
He lifted his face from the valley, and then embraced her slender body in his clutches.
Amane never really intended to do what Mahiru imagined, and if that happened every time they stayed over, his sanity would reach his limits. She would accept whatever he did with such overbearing cuteness, and he was scared that he would slowly inch towards the endless desire.
However, he really did not intend to do anything on this day.
Even boys would not be thinking of doing such things all the time, for living together peacefully with their beloved women would be enough happiness.
The satisfaction of the flesh might be quite lacking compared to the direct contact the last time, but the mental satisfaction far surpassed that.
The woman he loved to the point of swearing his future with was leaning next to him, her eyes filled with trust and love.
What else could bring about more solace, bliss and satisfaction?
Mahiru showed a fluffy smile, as though agreeing that she was happy to simply be touched by Amane, and clung onto his chest.
“…I too feel happy to have you by my side, Amane-kun.”
“That’s good. It’ll be unfair if I’m the only one. This happiness comes far too easy.”
“I too get happy easily when I am next to you, Amane-kun? Your presence next to me is all I need, but…”
“But?”
“I feel happier to touch you.”
Once she made such a cute statement, Mahiru looked up at Amane, pleading with her expression.
“You want to touch? Not to say that you can’t, but I don’t think a guy’s body feels good.”
“Really? I do like those who do not have much muscle…the belly feels taut when I touch it.”
Once she was allowed to, she gingerly stroked her fingers across Amane’s chest and abdomen.
He wondered that Kido’s influence was definitely at work, and the ticklish feeling had him wriggling. She was so happy though, so he decided to dote on her and laugh it off
“I think the muscle training paid off. Can’t say I’m a beansprout now.”
