138 Vol. 3 pt. 8 Patch 2.0: Babies and Burgers (2/2)

Alice is next as Ryouta pushes her through the doorway.

But then there's a problem.

With Aiko and Cassandra hugging his arms, the trio is too wide to fit through the doorway all at once, and neither of the girls seems like they intend on giving up their spot attached to him.

”Are… do I really have to do this?” Ryouta asks, looking at the girls.

They refuse to give up.

Ryouta has to back up, turn sideways, and then sideways through the doorway so that they can fit. The greatness of having his arms hugged against girls' chests is only barely enough to make up for just how ridiculous that maneuvering was.

Outside of the apartment, Serra locks his door for him and then hops up onto his back. With her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, Serra hugs her entire body against him and settles her head right next to his own with her chin resting on his left shoulder.

Alice is in front of him, Aiko is to his right, Cassandra his left, and Serra is on his back.

He is surrounded.

Alice looks behind herself and giggles at the awkward sight. ”Would you rather carry me in your arms than push me, my hero? Or should I perhaps cling to your front like Serra is to your back?”

The door opposite of his opens.

Standing in front of him is a mother with two children and a father behind them.

Whereas the mother gasps and covers her boys' eyes, the father slowly closes the door while giving Ryouta a proud nod of the head and a thumbs-up.

”Just… just stay in the wheelchair,” Ryouta says before freeing his arms from Aiko and Cassandra. ”You can cling as much as you want some other time, Cass Cass.”

”What about me?” Aiko asks.

Ryouta isn't sure how to respond, so he'll put that responsibility on Cassandra instead. ”Ask Cass Cass.”

”Eh? Why me?” Cassandra asks.

”Cass Cass!” Aiko shouts, making Cassandra jump from hearing her name called by her for the first time. ”Can I cling to Ryouta later?”

”N-no! Ryouta is mine to cling to…”

”But Serra gets to!”

”Because we're dating him!”

”Do I get clinging permissions as well now?” Alice asks.

”I – I guess so.”

”Not fair!” Aiko whines. ”I want clinging permissions!”

”Can we discuss this some other time? Preferably not in the middle of a hallway where people can hear what we're talking about?” Ryouta asks, noticing an elderly couple down the hall stopped from entering their apartment to watch the commotion.

Serra takes it a step further and nibbles on his earlobe.

This awakens something in him. He never knew that having his ear played with could feel so nice and exciting, but here he is, having shivers shoot up his spine as his face turns as red as Cassandra's likes to.

Cassandra and Aiko look at each other. They may be competing against one another, but they both respect that Serra has won this battle.

”Your power level is way too high, Serra,” Ryouta says just before accidentally letting out an embarrassing moan when Serra licks his ear.

Alice, Cassandra, and Aiko stare at him with wide eyes.

They have never heard him make such a cute, boyish noise before.

They all love it and the looks in their eyes tell him that they want to hear it again.

Ryouta fears for the safety of his masculinity.
