Hey all! Thanks so much for your positive feedback!

I'm going to update as much as I can; I am in college so it's going to be around my work (that art school life tho) but expect a lot of updates during winter break!

Once again, thanks for the support :3


"So, this is what your bedroom looks like..." Soma glanced around Erina's pink plush room.

Erina stood by the door.

She had only come in here so that none of the housekeeping staff would see her and Soma hanging out.

"Don't act like it's something that it's not...you being in here, I mean..." Erina said abruptly.

"What would I act like it is?" Soma raised an eyebrow, suggestively teasing Erina.

Her face went red. "W-well...y-you know how!"

Soma laughed. "You're really nervous right now, aren't you?"

"Nervous? Why would I be nervous?"

"Oh I don't know..." Soma moved in closer to her. "Perhaps this is the first time you've had a male friend in your bedroom? Alone... at night..." He smirked as Erina's face went red again.

"N-No!" She quickly went around him closing in on her, escaping further into the room. "I hang out with men all the time for you're information! And you and I, we aren't friends!"

Soma followed her deeper into the room.

"You're cute when you lie." He slipped off his shoes and plopped down on her bed, laying on his back with his hands behind his head.

There it was again... the word cute, coming out of his mouth.

Erina knew she must have been blushing hard at this point.

"Wh-"

"So, what does the infamous Erina Nakiri do on a school night?" Soma interrupted her and sat up on her bed.

"Well I read manga or I play cards..." Erina trailed off.

"You play cards? What kind of games? Poker?" Soma asked.

"Poker? I mean... no, not whatever that is." Erina shook her head innocently.

Soma paused a moment and then smirked.

"Oh... so I found something the great Nakiri can't do..." He said with a devilish grin.

"Excuse me! I-I can do anything!" Erina pulled out a deck of cards from her nightstand drawer. "Teach me how to play, I'm sure I'll beat you!" She threw the deck of cards onto the bed and plopped onto the bed across from Soma.


A few minutes later...

Soma shuffled the deck of cards. "Okay, so you get it?"

Erina was blushing. "S-so each round begins with a player wagering an article of...clothing...and each round ends with the loser removing the article of clothing?"

"Yes! That's right!" Soma nodded.

Erina paused a moment. "And this game is normally played amongst commoners?" Erina asked.

"Oh yes, absolutely... all the time really." Soma replies quickly.

Erina looked down and blushed again.

Soma could tell she was thinking about something.

"Don't tell me you think you are going to loose so badly that you're worried about removing all your clothes..." Soma knew that would rhile her up.

"What? Of course not!" Erina crosses her arms over her large chest.

"Okay then..." Soma smirked and passed out the cards. "You can pick the first article of clothing."

Erina thought a moment. "Socks."

"Okay." Soma nodded, slightly disappointed.

This might take awhile...


An hour later...

After five rounds of back and fourth winning/loosing the pair was down to the following:

Soma was down to his belt, pants, and underwear. He had lost his socks and then his shirt.

Erina was down to her button up blouse, her skirt, and her underwear. She had lost her knee socks, blazer, and neck tie.

"You know what's up next." Soma smirked. "I lost mine so it's only fair..."

Erina blushed and looked down at her blouse.

"You'll have to beat me first Yukihira!"

"Soma..."

"Right, S-Soma!"

Honestly, she was doing well for never playing poker before. Soma was impressed. And even though she seemed nervous, she also seemed to be having fun. He had never seen her just let loose before, it was nice.

Soma passed out the next set of cards. He'd burned two and Erina did the same.

He had a good hand, a queen of hearts, a ten of spades, and a king. As long as Erina didn't have an ace, he was good.

When the cards we revealed he noticed he had 2 pair, and he smirked.

"Go ahead." He urged Erina to reveal. She laid down her cards.

Two diamond threes.

"Oh! So, sorry." Soma laid down his cards to reveal his pair of queens and tens.

Erina looked. "Two pair..." She said.

"Yup...two pair." Soma chuckled and clapped his hands together.

Erina shot him a glare.

"I suppose if I must..."

She slowly began to unbutton her blouse.

Soma watched in anticipation.

When got down to the last button, and slowly opened the shirt up.

Soma saw her bra. It was shell pink and lacey, but not see through.

She slipped off the shirt and nervously crossed her arms in front of her chest, which only made her cleavage look bigger.

Soma felt himself staring, but he couldn't stop.

Neither him nor Erina said a word for a good couple of minutes. Then Erina cleared her throat.

"Right." Soma said. "Sorry."

He began to shuffle the deck.

"You act like these are the first pair you've seen." Erina said in a nervous tone.

"Well... that big, yeah..." Soma nodded.

"Oh well..." Erina trailed off.

Soma quickly defended himself. "The other time was an accident! It was my first night in Polar Star and I didn't know that it was the girls bath time and Tadakoro was..."

"Oh, poor Megumi-Chan!" Erina said. "She must have been so embarrassed..."

"Megumi-chan? Since when did you get so close to her?" Soma asked.

"Oh well this past summer we were at the same bathouse and..." Erina stopped.

Erina and Tadokoro in the bath... together? Soma's mind ran wild.

"Uhm well... I guess it's my turn to pick clothing." Erina changed the subject quickly.

"Hey...Erina..." Soma said.

"Yes?" She cocked her head slightly.

"I'm going to kiss you, okay?" Soma moved towards Erina, placing the cards down on the bed.

"W-wha!?"

Before Erina could fully react, Soma was kissing her.
