2. Left and Right / Katsura Residence (2)

--

On the roof of the main school building stood three benches.

Memories of three people having their lunch while chatting peacefully filled his mind. He would usually sit in the middle, while Kotonoha would take to his right, while Sekai would settle in at his left. Every school day, they would spend their time here conversing about life while indulging in their sandwiches at lunch.

And this was the simple act that brought them closer together as a group of friends in school. Even when their relationship with one another took a deep dive during the festival period, they would not fail to find each other on the roof.

Back then, when they were just three innocent friends, he would just usually associate them with left and right- Kotonoha was his right and Sekai was his left. He remembered the few incidents that happened a few weeks ago that literally found the forces of left and right starting which would resemble the never-ending war between good and evil- not that any one of them was chaotically good or evil.

Makoto wished for the day in which both of them would not be just left and right. It seems not plausible at all this moment, but he was sure, the day would come soon enough.

"Kya, I can't do it!"

"But Kotonoha, it is the rule of the game- you simply cannot back down from an order from the King. Furthermore, this is not something so unreasonable such as jumping down a building or cutting yourself in half with a bloody saw."

I sighed. As much as Saionji-san would agree that this could be somewhat classified in the same categories as those punishments mentioned above, this was the rule of the game. We were not to go against the will of His Majesty.

This was what happened: The four of us, Kokoro-chan, Makoto-kun, Saionji-san and I were playing "King". It just so happened that his round, Makoto-kun had been crowned while Saionji-san was given the role of the lowly subordinate.

And His Majesty's order was to "kiss me three passionate times like a lover".

Both of us were instantly freaked out.

But just before we set our minds to begin this task, I kindly requested, "Makoto-kun, can you bring Kokoro-chan out of the room before we starting doing this task? She is not old enough."

"But onee-chan, I am twelve..."

"Your sister is right, Kokoro-chan. Now we should get you out of the room before you see any of this mess. And I think she will allow you back in once the task has been completed," Makoto-kun said as he carried Kokoro-chan outside.

"But don't think of starting before I come back, otherwise, those kisses I haven't seen won't count," he added before exiting room, closing the door behind him.

I turned to face Saionji-san.

"What do you think of this?"

She thought for a moment and replied, "Probably just one of his many perverted ideas."

I nodded in agreement. "Well, Saionji-san, don't you think we should put on a show for him?"

"GREAT IDEA! But then..." she blushed, "forgive me for my... inexperience with members of the same sex."

My face reddened upon hearing that. "Me too..."

At this moment, the door opened abruptly, revealing Makoto-kun with a tiny, but extremely wicked smile.

"Well, let's get going," he said.

Saionji-san and I looked at each other rather nervously and blushed. Slowly, we extended our hands to embrace each other and she gave me a rather hesitant first kiss. But it was followed by our tongues wrestling each other's mouths for space. It was only after 30 seconds that we parted rather reluctantly.

Meanwhile, Makoto-kun seemed the least impressed.

"Hmm, is that the best you can do?"

An even larger grin appeared on his face.

I looked at Saionji-san. Both of us nodded. It was time to really put up a good act.

Rather quickly, Saionji-san wrapped her arms around me and pulled me over for another passionate kiss. Our tongues were entwined with each other and the kiss left us gasping. But we did not part. Instead, Saionji-san managed to push me gently onto the bed and it was then that Makoto-kun freaked out and told us to stop.

He appeared the most distraught.

I vowed to make sure that this was the last time I was doing something like this. But then, it felt strangely… pleasant.

This time, I received the crown while Saionji-san was the subordinate (again!). In the end, I did not know what to order her to do, so I just asked her to confess who her favourite seiyuu was. Turns out she likes Hirano Aya, the same person who was voicing Haruhi Suzumiya.

That night, we had a whale of a time. However, we were all late for school the next day, but it turned out we did not regret staying up so late.

And I still remember those days where the three (or four) of us would sit on the roof, chatting as we watched clouds come by…

That was what we did this afternoon.
