"I'm home!" Chisaki greeted as she arrived. She hurried home today because it was the end of the month and Tsumugu was coming back from the university. She wanted to prepare some food before he arrived. She blinked when she didn't see Grandpa Isamu with his net outside and just entered the house. She pulled her shoes off and blinked once more when she saw another pair of shoes of the rack.

"Tsumugu?" She called out as she went further in and pursed her lips when no one answered "Grandpa isn't here either. I wonder where he went," She said to herself as she set her bag down on the table. She raised her brows when she saw a familiar sweater next to it.

"He must be taking a bath," Chisaki mused quietly and just sat next to the table. She stared at the carmine colored sweater for a while before she reached out for it hesitantly holding it in her arms. She sighed as she inhaled the scent it gave off before slipping it on over her head. It still felt warm around her petite body. She held out her arms in front of her to see how his arms were.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice asked from behind.

Chisaki squeaked, almost jumping before pulling the sweater off. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" She scolded, face beet red, before throwing the piece of clothing to his face, but he dodged and caught it instead much to her dismay.

Tsumugu smirked in amusement before approaching her. "I just realized how that pout of yours is exclusive only to me," He teased as he sat beside her.

The blush on her face remained as did her pout. She avoided his gaze when she felt him lean closer to her. Her heart fluttered at the feeling of his lips on her cheek.

"I missed you," He said, hesitation absent from his demeanor. "Thanks for returning my letters."

She felt her heart skip a beat before she finally turned her head to look at him. "Of course," She smiled. "You're turning a little cheesy though," She teased letting out a small chuckle.

He smirked and just wrapped his arms around her. "I meant everything, though."

"I know," She nodded and closed her eyes as she leaned into his chest. She hadn't realized how much she missed him until she felt his warmth.

"Hey, Chisaki?"

She blinked her eyes open and looked up at him. "Ye-" She blinked again when she felt his lips on hers, but she returned the brief kiss before he drew back. "That's cheap."

"I have my ways." He said smugly.
