~ Reading Light Novels, Haruno Follows ~

As I entered the bookstore, I made a beeline to the light novel/manga section in the very back. No one occupied the section, so I had it all to myself to browse and pick as I please, in complete solitude. Something every loner longed for.

Rubbing my index finger across book spines, I searched for a new series to read. Since having caught up to all the current volumes of ongoing series, it was that time to hopefully find a gem. I previewed several novels, one about transporting to another world—nope.

Angsty rom-com—nope.

Battle fantasy—nope.

Echii harem—Hmm... nope.

RPGs—Seems interesting...

As I skimmed through the RPG novel, I felt a hand landed on my left shoulder. I wore my Sobu blazer, but I could feel the warmth and softness radiating off said hand. Not that that matters. Seriously, who the hell is touching me? Before I moved my eyes to see whose hand was touching my shoulder, the source spoke up.

"Hikigaya-kun, what a coincidence!"

I knew this voice and with the thought, I turned around and, upon eye contact, my face briefly grimaced. Her amethyst eyes seemed more piercing under the harsh fluorescent lights.

"Yukinoshita-san..." I muttered. There, clad in a skimpy cerulean-blue dress, stood Yukinoshita Haruno.

She waved an acknowledging wave with a plastered-on smile. "How are you doing, young man? Well, I sure hope."

I shifted my attention back to my novel, hoping this coincidental meeting will wrap up soon. Seriously, of all the places I could run into Haruno, it had to be here. At the bookstore. Just my luck...

"Okay, I guess..." I kept my answer short, hoping she'll catch on to my drift. Knowing her tendencies, I won't be left alone until she's sastified or bored with me. Seriously, what are the odds?

"Hmm... don'tcha wanna know how I'm doing?"

"And you?" I monotoned, playing her game. Seriously, leave me alone.

"Oh, I've been swell. Thanks for asking, Hikigaya-kun!" Immediately after her response, a shadow loomed over the pages. Haruno's hands latched onto my shoulders, her head peeking over to look. "Whatcha reading there? Is it interesting?" Hey, you're blocking the words! Back up! You're too close, seriously!

A strong aroma of vanilla invaded my nostrils, obviously coming from Haruno.

Unable to see jack, I asked her in a flat tone, "Could you step back some, Yukinoshita-san?"

She followed through with my request, presenting me space. "Why, Hikigaya-kun? Are you getting all excited that an older woman so close?" She teased.

"No... I just couldn't see the words," I explained, dismissing her theory.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! You're so baaad-duh!" Haruno exclaimed. "I like baaad-duh..." She whispered so softly I barely heard her. "Gimme more baaad-duh." What the fuck...? Are you a retarded half-sheep hybrid or what?

Ignoring the sheep noises behind me, I continued reading.

"So, it's pretty interesting, huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh, more interesting than me?"

"..."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! So, is it?"

Why the hell would you ask that? I'm not answering that... I refuse to even analyze the possibility. I stayed silent.

"Oh, I see..."

See wha—

Next thing I know, the novel fell out—no, was slapped out my hands. Then, before I can properly react, I was flipped around and slammed into the shelf with a thud. I felt the wind got temporarily knocked out from my lungs. Haruno glued her body against mine, pinning my hands near my waist with hers. Even with resistance, there was no escape. Her strength seemed to have increased significantly.

"What the fuc—?!"

"Answer me, Hikigaya-kun..." A crazed look in her eyes. I was gazing at another version of Yukinoshita Haruno.

"W-what?"

"Was it more interesting than me?"

"...Yeah." I didn't know how else to respond. I was trying hard not to stare at her boobs, which was poking against my chest. I tried to keep my thoughts sane, and not think of soft marshmallow-like pillows—Goddammit. "C-could you let me go, Yukinoshita-san?"

Haruno's lips creased into a pout. "But, aren't you curious..." Haruno bobbed her lips to my ear, finishing her question, "...about how an older woman taste?" Chills went down my spine, my hair standing on end.

"..." At a loss for words, I gulped.

"Tell you what? I'll let you go if you give me a kiss... on the lips." She chided her finger into my cheek, pressing her body even closer into mine.

"?!" While I won't get into detail about it, I'll say this... If the four layers of clothes between us wasn't present, I'd be inside Haruno. My body acted and functioned naturally as it suppose to. In other words, there was a "rising."

"Oh, seems like someone excited to see me! He-he! So how about that kiss, Hikigaya-kun?" Haruno smiled, staring at me intently as if for me to act.

"..."

"Fine. I'll make the first move..." Haruno's puckered her lips and advanced, albeit slowly. Her eyes shut, grip slightly loosened. Even then I couldn't escape, I was stuck. The thought of Haruno being my first kiss slowly sunk into my mind. This was the end. Her moist, glossy lips inching closer and closer.

Sorry, Komachi... Totsuka...

Then, at the very final moment, struck with a sliver of inspiration, I looked past Haruno's shoulder. "Yukinoshita. What're you doing here?"

Surprisingly, Haruno took the bait.

"Huh?" Haruno reflexively stopped and opened her eyes, scanning my line of vision to look for her sister. "Yukino-chan's here?"

With her hold on me broken, I sprinted away from this crazy bitch at Rock Lee speed, out of the section.

I heard giggling behind me. "Well played, Hikigaya-kun. That won't work next time..."

Wait, what?! There'll be a next time?!

A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know your thoughts, I'd like to hear the WTF and shit. Don't be shy to leave an honest review, as I would much appreciate it.

As always, thanks for reading.
