Chapter 10: Wine Day (October)

Chapter Summary: The drink was for adults only or so he thought...

Things became uneventful for the past weeks. Well, except for several dates that we even hid from senpais. Ryoma-kun was irritated of them trailing from our date one time. He didn't want a repeat of that. Things were getting great between us. Ryoma-kun would try to be more expressive of his feelings towards me if the chances permitted him. I wouldn't mind it but it would make me happy and giddy if he did.

He was trying to make our relationship... normal. It was weird but someone who wouldn't know us think that our relationship would be normal but actually, it was sort of... unusual. We were out in the public but that was there was to it. He kissed me when he thought no one was looking. I appreciated the action, to be honest. He kept denying all the teases our senpai-tachi were implying where they were the exact opposite. I wouldn't mind all of that. Knowing that the two of us were the only one aware, it was enough for me.

I actually liked our relationship being... unusual.

Sighing, I closed the door of my locker. Friday was definitely uneventful. It was also the 13th. Normally, people knew that it was a bad luck but so far nothing bad happened on this day. I wouldn't hope for it.

"Ryuzaki."

I turned to the sound of the voice that I wanted to hear everyday. I waited for my boyfriend to reach me before showing my surprise him seeing in the corridor, "Ryoma-kun! I was about to watch you practice."

He shrugged as he fixed his duffel bag on his shoulder, "Practice is cancelled," He walked ahead and I followed him, "Let's go out."

"Like on a date?" I asked feeling a bit excited.

"No, on a vacation. Of course we will go on a date." He answered nonchalantly and I looked at him surprisingly which made him look back at me, "What?"

I shook my head as I recovered, "I didn't know... that you knew sarcasm."

"It's not sarcasm."

"Yes, it is!"

"Is not."

"Is too!"

"Is not."

"Is too!"

"You're childish."

"Ryoma-kun!"

"Mada mada dane."

People started looking at us before I continued playing along with my boyfriend. When I realized that they did, I began feeling awkward about it. Ryoma-kun seemed to notice my situation for he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out to the entrance gate.

"Let's go on a date instead."

I couldn't help myself but chuckle. Indeed, this relationship that we had was really... unusual.

"Let's go tomorrow instead."

I blinked my eyes twice as I looked at him. We were actually at an intersection between our houses. At first, I didn't know why he brought us knowing that we would go on a date today.

"Why?"

"We can have more time to spend."

"But tomorrow-"

"-Is Saturday."

"W-What if-oh." I replied and realized what he meant. We didn't have school for some reason tomorrow. Ryoma-kun thought that it would be nice to go tomorrow instead.

"Come on." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the direction of my house. I didn't protest knowing that we would have a nice time for tomorrow.

We actually went on a typical date. Ryoma-kun came late as usual. We ate a late lunch and played some video games. We even played tennis in the center afterwards. I actually had fun no matter what we did. As long as I was with my boyfriend it would be enough for me.

Time flew by really fast and it was already night time. Ryoma-kun was silently walking me home when he suddenly spoke;

"I don't want to go to home yet."

I looked at him with surprise showing on my face, "What? Why?"

"They are crowded."

"They?"

"And noisy?"

"Noisy?"

"Annoying."

"What?"

"My parents."

I blinked twice when all of his words registered to my brain, "Ryoma-kun, they are your parents."

"Exactly my point."

"I don't..." As long as he said that, I realized how Nanjiroh-san annoyed his son. I couldn't get but it must be a father and son thing. I sighed and looked at him, "Want to come over then?"

"Un." He replied as usual but I knew that he liked my invitation which I realized was his intention in the first place.

We continued walking on my way home in a comfortable silence. I didn't mind it since Ryoma-kun was never the talkative type. He liked quiet things so I wouldn't being quiet for him. We reached the front porch of my house and opened the door to let us in.

"Tadaima, Obaa-chan!" I called as I removed my shoes, "Ryoma-kun's with me!"

"Chisu..."

"Okaeri!" Obaa-chan called back from the kitchen, "Staying for dinner, Ryoma?"

"Hai!" He said removing his own shoes and followed me inside.

"Okay, you two get yourselves in the table. The dinner's ready in ten minutes."

I gestured him to the table and we both sat. Not long before, we were already eating. Ryoma-kun and Obaa-chan talked in between meals. It was mostly a one-word answer for my boyfriend but seeing them talking casually made me happy. When we're done eating, Obaa-chan insisted us to go to the living room and watch something on Tv while she did the dishes. We followed despite me wanting to help her.

We saw Wimbledon on netflix and started watching it. We hadn't watched the movie for fifteen minutes when Obaa-chan called to us.

"Sakuno, I'll go to bed early. Make sure you lock the door when Ryoma leaves later," Her gaze went to my boyfriend and sternly stared at him, "And you, Ryoma, make sure you'll go home after you watch that movie."

"Hai!" We both said with different enthusiasm.

Satisfied with our answers, she went upstairs and left us alone in the living room. The next few hours were really silent but the sound coming from the tv could be heard. The movie was getting interesting when Ryoma-kun interrupted my watch.

"Nee, where did you get this?"

I looked at him to see him not sitting next to me anymore but standing not far from the sofa I was sitting. How did he do that without me noticing? I was watching so maybe that was why I didn't. What surprised me was he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Obaa-chan's long time friend gave that to her when she had their reunion last week," I answered frowning at him, "Why are asking?"

His eyes were focused on the green bottle with a keen interest. Somehow, his expression gave me the idea of what he was thinking. The idea that somehow made me nervous too.

"Wouldn't Obaa-san mind if we take a little sip of this?"

Which he confirmed all of the sudden.

My eyes still widened when he asked me that, "N-no but I-"

Clearly that was a wrong answer to give him for he immediately went back to the kitchen and returned with two glasses with his hand and the wine with his other.

"R-Ryoma-kun! What do you think you are doing?" My face was beginning to feel flushed.

"Let's drink." He said as if it was the casual thing to do.

"W-what?!" I whispered trying not to raise my voice fearing that Obaa-chan would wake up, "W-we are minors, Ryoma-kun. We can't drink that!"

"Why not?" He asked me curiously. "It's only a wine. Not soju."

"It has an alcohol content in it!"

"It's not too much," He sat beside me, "We'll only drink a few shots."

"But still..."

"Come on, Sakuno," He insisted using my first name this time while staring straight to my eyes, "Until the movie's done."

I looked at him before looking at the movie we were watching then back at him, sighing, I conceded, "Until the movie's done."

"Un." A smirk was formed on his lips. Somehow, I had this feeling that I made the wrong decision.

Ryoma-kun poured another to my glass as I saw the end credits of the movie. It had just ended so I looked at him and to the glass that he was still pouring.

"R-Ryoma-kun, t-the movie has ended." I announced just in case my boyfriend didn't notice. I felt lightheaded but it wasn't that bad. I felt my chest getting burnt from the liquid that I was sipping since we started drinking.

"This is the last one." He said after filling my glass full. It was actually the first time he filled it full. He always filled it half to empty. I looked at him. He poured his with the same volume as well.

"T-the wine is almost empty. What are we going to tell Obaa-chan?" I asked him nervously.

He shrugged before drinking his glass first, "Let's tell her it got spilled."

"That's not going to work."

"It is," He said and looked at me, "Drink that."

I didn't protest as I lifted the rim of the glass to my lips and drank the liquid. Another set of warmth burned my throat as I swallowed the liquid. I almost choked when I tried drinking it in one gulp.

"Yarujan."

I covered my mouth as I placed the glass on the table. Looking up, I saw him smirking at me. His face was flushed and his cheeks were a bit rosy. Was he... tipsy?

"Ryoma-kun, I think you should go home now."

He looked at me frowning before setting his glass down next to mine on the table. His eyes were telling me something that I didn't want to know, "You want me to go home now."

"Ah... hai?" My voice sounded unsure when I saw him leaning closer to me. I found myself moving backwards from him.

"You sounded like you don't want me." He whispered dangerously. His stare was intense and not leaving mine. My heart was beating faster than the normal now.

I mustered enough courage to voice out my words. And when I was sure, I said it to him, "Yes, I do."

He never left my eyes as he focused on them. I weakly gasped when he caressed my cheek with the back of his hand, "Don't I get a kiss first?"

My eyes widened when he said that. That was the time I realized that he was almost hovering over me. He was really close. I could feel my face and body hot. Was it because of the wine or something else? I couldn't think straight.

"I-if you go home, that is." I whispered as I looked at his intense orbs. I could feel his body pressing against mine as he lowered his face to mine.

"Sure." With that, he claimed my mouth within seconds. My instincts told me to close my own eyes and let him kiss me. I bet he could hear my heart now that our bodies were awfully and awkwardly close to each other. I found myself responding to his kiss. My hands wrapped around his neck while his hand from my cheek went down to my neck while the other was touching my hip. His kiss felt different. It was filled with... intimacy. He even bit my lower lip as if asking me for permission. I was not aware of what I was doing. The next thing I knew, his tongue was pushing itself inside my mouth.

My eyes were snapped opened.

"R-Ryoma-kun-" I was able to say when I managed to turn my head before he could do more. But he had other plans when he neared my cheek. I gasped when he bit my ear. My hands gripped his sides. His lips went to my neck. He licked and without warning, bit it. Before I could register what I was doing, I moaned. I gasped for the second time when I realized that I did. I mustered enough courage to push him away from me and stared at him.

"G-go. Now."

"Ryuzaki-"

"We kissed," I looked away not able to hide the blush from my face but I couldn't look at him straight in the eye, "Please go home."

"...Fine." He said after a few seconds of not saying anything. He slowly moved away from me which I immediately followed.

I pushed him towards the door when he didn't move from where he was standing. My heart was still beating rapidly. I didn't stop until I opened the door and pushed him outside. He turned around to face me. His face was flushed and his eyes were glassy. I fought back my blush to intensify even more.

"S-see you tom-" My words were cut when he leaned down and dropped a kiss on my lips. It was nothing but chaste. Lips pressed to mine. A simple yet wonderful one. It was only a few seconds but it felt hours. He was in front of me once again.

"Tomorrow." With that he turned around and walked away from the porch. I waited until I couldn't see him before I closed the door and locked it. I turned the forgotten tv and lights off before I went upstairs and to my room. I leaned on the back of my door and remembered all what happened earlier. My cheeks flushed and heart couldn't calm down. I placed my face to my hands thinking that I needed to wash my face tonight.

I would never drink wine ever again.
