AN: Hey guys! Hope you all had a great week! Sorry about the longer time in-between stories but hopefully this longer chapter will make up for it! As always leave a comment telling me what you think! I love to hear from you guys!
Losing track of time, Naoto and Hayase sat in the art room enjoying each other's company. Hayase made sure to tease her Senpai a little, and Naoto reacted in his typical way. Not noticing the time, they were both heavily caught off guard as the bell for the next class hour began. Both of them panicking, they quickly packed up their belongings and rushed to their classes, saying a quick good-bye to each other as they went their separate ways.
Naoto did a quick half run to his classroom, not wanting to get reprimanded for running inside the school. After finally arriving he quickly slid into the classroom and took his seat, the students in the classroom all taking notice of him. Thankfully, the teacher of that particular class had yet to arrive so there were no consequences for Naoto's tardiness.
As Naoto sat at his desk, catching his breath, a few students eye'd him weirdly, and whispered things. Naoto assumed they were talking about the video that had been spread around, and did his best to ignore it.
Naoto sat through the rest of his classes with a little more focus than he had before lunch, doing his best to pay attention to the lessons the different teachers had prepared. Finally, once the day was over, and the last bell rang. Naoto breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for the day to be over, Naoto began to pack up his belongings.
Naoto waited for the students to empty the classroom before taking his leave, he had no intention of joining the brunt of the crowd with how things had been going that day. Once all the students had left, Naoto stood from his desk, and walked out of the classroom.
Before leaving the school, Naoto stopped by the art room and wrote a message to Sunomiya explaining why he wouldn't be at the club that day, simply saying he was getting together with Hayase to work on another sketch. Once he'd finished writing it, he left it somewhere she'd notice and quickly left the art room.
As Naoto made his way through the mostly empty hallways, he was thankful that the remaining students took no notice of him. Slowly as Naoto walked, he came to the same staircase and hallway where he'd been attacked. Nervously Naoto did his best to quickly make it down the stairs and out of the school.
Once Naoto made it down the stairs, he quickly scanned the area for any of the entourage. Not noticing anyone, Naoto slowly pushed forward towards the exit of the school. Just as he exited the doors, he saw them. The entourage, minus the ringleader, sat just outside the school, obviously waiting for someone.
"Damnit." Naoto muttered, he quickly began to turn around to reenter the school but one of the members of the entourage quickly called to him. "Hey Turtle wait!"
Naoto turned, bracing himself for a blow, but it never came. The boy who'd called, slowly walked towards Naoto, his hands raised up to where Naoto could see them. The boy wasn't looking for a fight. "We just want to talk, man." said the new apparent ringleader of the group.
Naoto, still wary of the entourage, kept his distance, saying, "Talk from over there then."
The approaching new ringleader complied and stopped moving, hands still up. "That's fine. We're not looking for trouble."
Naoto looked over at the boy, and the entourage, as far as their body language indicated, they were being genuine, none but the new ringleader having moved. Naoto cautiously said, "What do you want?"
The ringleader lowered his hands, and struggled to get out the sentence. "We… wanted to… apologize." He finally managed.
Naoto, caught off guard by the comment, said, "You what?"
The new ringleader began to explain. "With the boss in juvie… and that video being spread around, the last thing we want is to be any more trouble. So we're here to apologize… for everything! Please… Please forgive us!" Said the boy bowing to Naoto. The rest of the entourage did the same, also saying, "Please forgive us!"
Naoto was completely stunned. Never in a million years did he think his childhood bullies would apologize. The possibility had seemed as likely as Hayase admitting she loved him. Considering that had actually happened, Naoto concluded this was becoming a hell of a week.
Naoto sat quietly, contemplating their words. On one hand he wanted to tell them to shove it and walk away. On the other, he wanted to believe they genuinely regretted their actions.
After thinking it over, Naoto came to a decision. "I… I forgive you." He said hesitantly. He wasn't entirely sure if he believed them, but it wasn't worth an altercation.
The new ringleader and entourage all looked grateful, "Th-Thank you." Said the ringleader. "I know that we don't really deserve it… but thank you." After a few moments the ringleader then said, "W-We'll leave you alone now. Like I said, we don't want to be in any more trouble, including pissing off your girlfriend."
"She's terrifying." Muttered one of the members of the entourage, the whole group nodded in agreement. Naoto flushed, embarrassed, and said, "She.. she's not my girlfriend." To which the ringleader shrugged and said, "Either way man, she's not worth crossing." The ringleader looked to the entourage and said, "Let's get out of here."
Naoto watched them leave, still a little embarrassed. Once they had all moved off, Naoto sighed, not really sure what to think. Once he'd gathered his thoughts a little, Naoto began walking home.
Naoto turned the stove off and started packing up the meal he'd cooked. Just as he finished he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. After rinsing and drying his hands quickly, he pulled out his phone and checked it.
"Just got out of Judo! I'm going to run home really quick and shower." Hayase had sent.
Naoto looked himself over and realized he could probably use one too. "Alright. Maybe I'll do the same then." Naoto replied.
After waiting a little bit with no response, Naoto shrugged and assumed Hayase must've already left. Naoto proceeded to get ready for his shower.
Naoto stood alone in the park he and Hayase were meeting in. Naoto, with his bag slung over his shoulder, held a basket in one hand with the meal and snacks he'd packed for the picnic. Nervously he checked the time, Hayase should be there any minute.
"Senpaiiiii!" Naoto heard almost on cue. He turned to the source of the noise and saw Hayase quickly approaching him. Naoto couldn't help but gawk as she approached. The outfit she'd chosen seemingly pulled his eyes with an almost gravitational attraction; Hayase of course took notice.
"Eww! Senpai~! Stop undressing me with your eyes you perv!" Hayase said, a wide grin on her face. This was the reaction she'd hoped for from her Senpai.
"I-I-I wasn't!" Naoto stuttered out, trying to defend himself, "I was just-" but Hayase interrupted, saying, "You can't fool me, pervy Senpai~, I know what your ogling looks like!"
Naoto, defeated, simply said, "S-Sorry." Hayase giggled a little bit at her victory and said, "It's okay pervy Senpai." As she looked at her Senpai, she couldn't help but find her own eyes drawn to him in much the same way Naoto's we're drawn to her. Blushing a little bit, she said, "I'll just have to return the favor~."
Naoto blushed wildly at her words, he'd never considered that maybe she enjoyed looking at him as much as he did her. Deciding not to comment on it, he said,"So… where should we set up?" Gesturing with the basket he held.
Hayase giggled at Naoto and began looking around the park for a nice place to sit. Hayase pointed to a tree on the far side of the park, "Let's go sit under that tree! It seems pretty shady and secluded." Said Hayase while giving Naoto a wink, causing him to blush again.
"T-That works for me." Naoto said sheepishly. He began walking towards the tree. After he'd taken a few steps towards the tree when heard a loud, "AHEM."
Naoto turned back and looked at Hayase, who had an irritated look on her face. Confused, Naoto said, "What?"
Hayase, still looking irritated, said, "Senpai this is a date, aren't you forgetting something?" Naoto blushed at the words but still wasn't sure what she wanted. "Uh, I-I don't think so?"
Hayase narrowed her eyes, that was the wrong answer. Thankfully, Hayase took mercy on the dense boy and said, "What do couples who are walking somewhere typically do?"
Naoto thought for a moment and realized his density, "O-Oh sorry." He then extended his free hand towards the girl. Hayase grinned at her dense Senpai and accepted his hand with her own, interlacing their fingers. "That's better." Said Hayase, hugging Naoto's arm as she came alongside him.
Together they walked, hand in hand towards the tree Hayase had pointed out. Once they arrived at the tree, they separated. Naoto set down the picnic basket and pulled a blanket out from it, laying the blanket out on the grass. Once it was properly set up he placed the basket and his bag on the blanket and took a seat, Hayase joining him. The couple sat cross legged facing towards each other, the basket in between them.
Hayase rubbed her hands together in anticipation of the meal, and said, "So? What'd you make Senpai? I'm starving!" Naoto shrugged and said, "Nothing super crazy, just something quick I threw together."
Naoto opened the basket and pulled out the meals he'd prepared before-hand. They were neatly packed into containers. Naoto handed Hayase the meal he'd prepared for her and some utensils, Hayase eyed the container ravenously. "Thank you Senpai~." Hayase said as she accepted the container. "Y-You're welcome." Naoto responded nervously.
Hayase giggled a little at the boy's nervous tone, but was far too hungry to tease. The couple began to eat their respective meals. Despite Naoto's earlier dismissal of his cooking, the meal was delicious, causing Hayase to moan with pleasure. "Mmmm, Senpai, you really are a great cook~."
Naoto blushed at both the compliment and Hayase's food induced moaning. "I-I'm glad you like it…" Naoto said sheepishly, his face still a bright red. Hayase noticed his embarrassed expression and couldn't help but tease the boy.
"What's that pervy expression on your face for Senpai? Are you such a virgin that you've never heard a girl moan before?", the comment made Naoto blush a brighter red and he nervously replied with, "O-Of course not! And how am I the pervy one when you're the one m-moaning like that?!"
Hayase blushed at his comment but stayed on the offensive, "You're such a creepy virgin Senpai~! Undressing me with your eyes the moment you see me and now you sexualize my harmless enjoyment of your cooking! You're so gross~!"
Naoto nervously pushed up his nonexistent glasses, still a habit he couldn't break. "I-I was not!" Naoto said in his defense.
Hayase laughed at Naoto's words and finally relented, giving the boy a break. "Okay Senpai~. Whatever you say." Hayase said sarcastically. Naoto's face still a rosey red, he elected to ignore her sarcastic remark and simply continued eating his food.
After the couple finished eating, they sat happily together, bantering back and forth in their typical way. After they'd gone on for a few minutes, Hayase finally said, "Well Senpai, should we get started on your art project?"
Naoto nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah that's probably a good idea, I don't want to lose the natural light."
Hayase grinned in anticipation of Naoto's reaction and said, "Well? What position should we try Senpai~?" which of course caused him to blush a bright red at her word choice. Naoto, having learned from his past mistakes, wisely chose to not directly address it.
Naoto, still blushing, said, "Well… I was thinking of having you lay on your chest." Hayase thought for a second and then said, "Like this?"
Hayase uncrossed her legs and laid down on the blanket, her stomach and chest against the blanket. She rested her elbows against the blanket and held up her head with her hands. She then raised her legs behind her, bending at the knees with her feet vertical in the air.
Naoto, caught his breath as he couldn't help but admire how cute the girl looked in the position, an action not unnoticed by Hayase, he quickly said, "Y-Yeah that's perfect."
Hayase giggled and said, "Perfect huh?" to which Naoto anxiously responded with, "I mean artistically!". Hayase giggled again and said, "Suuure Senpai."
Naoto sighed and didn't answer. After pulling the sketch book and art supplies from his bag, Naoto took a similar position to Hayase's, however he kept his legs firmly against the ground. The couple faced each other, only Naoto's sketch book between the two of them. After a few moments of lying awkwardly in front of each other, Naoto anxiously asked, "A-Are you ready?" and reached his hand towards Hayase. Hayase blushed at his question, and felt butterflies in her stomach, "Always Senpai~."
Hayase reached and accepted his hand. The position was admittedly a little awkward to hold hands in, but after readjusting a little the couple came to a position they found comfortable, their fingers weaving together.
Naoto, with a bit of a blush, said, "I guess… we'll get started then."
Hayase watched as Naoto worked on his sketchwork. With the sketchbook lying between them, she was able to watch as Naoto brought her to life on the paper. It was one thing to watch his expression while he worked, it was another to do that and see the actual artwork as it developed. She couldn't help but grin at the situation, she was in a state of pure elation. Being this close to, and holding the hand of, the boy she loved was almost too much for her heart to handle.
After Naoto worked on the piece for a good twenty minutes, the timer on his phone went off indicating it was time for a break. Despite how happy the two of them were to be in the position, they both couldn't help but feel stiff from holding the awkward pose for a while. Sitting up, the couple both stretched their aching muscles.
After the couple finished their stretches, they sat silently together, enjoying the break. After a few peaceful moments had passed, Hayase decided now was the perfect time to play the ace card she'd been hiding up her sleeve.
"Hey Senpai?" Hayase asked, getting Naoto's attention.
"Y-Yeah?" Naoto responded a little nervously.
"Did it cross your mind that we were probably naked at the same time?" Hayase asked, doing her best to say the comment matter of factly, only a slight blush giving away her true feelings.
Naoto's eyes widened and his jaw dropped, doing his best to quickly recover he said, "W-W-What!?"
Hayase used as much willpower as she possessed to stifle her laughter. Trying to maintain her innocent facade, she said, "Well, since you showered right after I sent the text saying I was going to, that means we probably showered at the same time right?"
Naoto slowly nodded his head, beginning to understand where she was going with this. Hayase continued, "Well, that means we were naked at the same time." Hayase concluded. Managing to hold it together a little longer, she reasked her initial question, "So did that cross your mind?"
Admittedly, it HAD crossed Naoto's mind, but he figured he was in the clear when she hadn't said anything. How wrong he had been. "N-N-No! Of course not! Who would think that!?" Naoto finally managed.
Hayase finally cracked a little, a wide grin appearing on her face, "Are you suuure Senpai? That seems like the kind of degenerate thought a super virgin like you would come up with!"
Naoto sat stunned, the gall this girl had sometimes. Naoto was about to defend himself once more, but just before he could deny her claim again, she added.
"If you tell the truth, Senpai… I'll give you another super good reward for this art piece~." Hayase said, feigning a nervous look at her Senpai.
Naoto paused. "God damnit" He thought to himself. This girl really had him wrapped around her finger, and they both knew it.
Naoto remained silent for a few moments, contemplating his options and their potential consequences. Admit to the thought and potentially get rewarded? Or deny it for the sake of his pride and get nothing? Hayase remained quiet, she eagerly waited for his response.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, but in reality was only a few seconds, Naoto said, "I…. I guess…."
Hayase grinned wildly, she was this close to getting what she wanted, but she wasn't going to take a half answer. "You guess? You guess what silly Senpai~? Be specific…"
Naoto sighed, defeated, "Yes… the thought did cross my mind." Naoto finally confessed.
Hayase finally broke, she smiled widely, the poor boy wasn't coming out of this one unscathed.
"Ewww! I knew it! You're such a virgin Senpai!" Hayase yelled, her tone had done a one-eighty and was now fully in teasing mode. "I mean I knew you were a virgin, but I didn't know you were THAT much of a virgin!"
Naoto raised his hands defensively, and said, "I-If you were so convinced, why did you ask then!?" Naoto said back in an attempt to defend himself. Hayase stifled a giggle and said, "I had to be sure Senpai!"
Naoto continued to defend himself and said, "B-Besides! If only a v-virgin could come up with that, and you thought of it too, that means you're as much of a virgin as I am!"
Hayase giggled at his defense, unable to hold it back. She playfully brought her hand up to her chin in the way she knew Naoto liked, feigning contemplation. "Hmm, that's a good point Senpai."
Naoto, not expecting that answer from Hayase, said, "I-It is?"
Hayase, ignoring his last statement, said, "To be fair though, who said I wasn't a virgin?"
Naoto, not having a good response to that, accepted defeat, and said "I… I guess that's fair." Which caused Hayase to giggle. Finally, Hayase decided to relent and give her poor Senpai a break. Pretending nothing had happened, Hayase said, "Well, anyways, let's get back to work!"
Hayase laid back down and retook the position she'd been holding for the sketch. Naoto, shook his head at her teasing, she was truly insatiable. Naoto also retook his position for the sketch and readied his art supplies. A little anxious from Hayase's teasing, he didn't reach his hand out. Hayase again took mercy on the poor boy and made the first move, reaching her hand towards the boy and said, "Hurry up and finish this sketch so you can get your reward Senpai~."
The couple sat working on the sketch for a few hours, the process admittedly took longer than it usually did due to the relatively uncomfortable position, which caused them to take more frequent breaks than usual. However, just as the sky began to turn orange with the setting sun, Naoto finally finished.
Naoto sat crossed legged, looking over the sketch. Despite his soreness from sitting in the uncomfortable position, and the fact he'd only had access to one hand for the sketch, it'd turned out really good. Easily his favorite of the two he'd done for the project so far.
"Lemme see it Senpai!" Hayase said eagerly, reaching for the sketch, she sat facing Naoto, also crossed legged. Naoto handed the sketch to the girl and proceeded to lean backwards, lying down upon his back. He let out a tired sigh, as he looked up at the leaves of the tree.
Hayase looked over the sketch, much like the other sketches Naoto had done, she'd loved it. Admittedly though, she enjoyed the first sketch more. Hayase looked over at the lying Naoto, about to tell him her thoughts but she faltered as she saw him. Much like when she first arrived at the park, she couldn't help but ogle at the boy. Naoto's shirt had ridden up his torso a bit, revealing a small section of his midriff. Hayase flushed wildly at his unintentional show of skin, and felt a more primal desire begin to cloud her mind.
Naoto, still laying on his back, had closed his eyes, relaxing a little as he waited for Hayase's input on the sketch. After a few seconds, a tad confused by her lack of response, Naoto opened his eyes to look at the girl. However, just as did, Hayase pounced on the boy, pinning him to the ground.
Naoto, startled by Hayase's action, half yelled, "W-What are you doing?!". Naoto looked at the girl as she sat on top of him, a lecherous look on her face. Hayase answered Naoto's question, her voice suggestive, "I'm giving you your reward, silly Senpai~."
Naoto blushed wildly at the lustful tone of her voice, and felt butterflies fill his stomach. Hayase, her face also a fire hydrant red, readjusted herself, planting herself more firmly upon the boy beneath her. Unbeknownst to her, she'd firmly planted her bottom upon Naoto's pelvis, causing the boy to grow several shades redder than he was before.
Before Naoto could inform the girl of her awkward position, Hayase aggressively leaned her face into his, kissing the boy firmly on the lips. Naoto's mind began to fog over as the girl he loved aggressively kissed him, his desire and ability to say something was very quickly fading.
Slowly as the kiss continued, Naoto and Hayase's hands found each other, their fingers interweaving. Hayase continued to kiss the boy with all the wanton desire she'd been holding back. Just as she was beginning to adjust to the rhythm of the kiss, Hayase felt Naoto's mouth open a little, coming across in her mind as a clear invitation. Hayase opened her own mouth a little, and tentatively extended her tongue. Naoto, seemingly receptive of the idea, reciprocated the action. Despite the initial awkwardness of the action, the couple very quickly rediscovered their rhythm.
Now it was Hayase's mind that began to fog over, the taste of Naoto very quickly driving the girl over the edge of sanity. The couple continued to make out for a few more seconds, but as they did, Hayase couldn't help but notice an uncomfortable firmness growing against her rear. Initially her mind was too fogged over for her to think much of it, however, as the pressure continued to grow, she couldn't help but find herself growing irritated. Whatever it was, it was pulling her focus away from the boy she loved and that was unacceptable.
Finally, after her irritation with the firm pressure grew too much, she pulled her mouth away from Naoto's and irritatedly said, "What is that?!" Hayase looked behind her at her back end and realized where her bottom had ended up. Hayase very quickly put two and two together. Hayase's eyes went wide and she blushed harder than she'd ever had before.
Embarrassed, Hayase quickly hopped off the boy, and stood up. Naoto quickly sat up and said, "Oh my god I'm so sorry!", he was just as embarrassed as she was. The couple sat awkwardly for what felt like an eternity. After what felt like too long a silence between them, Naoto said again, "Hayase, I'm so sorry, I… I couldn't help it."
Hayase, still blushing wildly, said, "I-It's okay…". Hayase, having regained a little composure, giggled a little and continued with, "It was my fault anyways, I didn't really pay attention to where my butt ended up.". After a few more moments, Hayase sheepishly said, "I'm… I'm sorry about that… I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable…"
Naoto quickly replied with, "N-No, trust me that wasn't discomfort." Easing Hayase's worries. Hayase's blush reddened again, she found herself… flattered. Flattered by the way Naoto's body had responded to her. Hayase giggled and bashfully said, "Gross~."
And that's chapter 11! I hope you guys enjoyed and I hope you all have a good weekend! I hope to see you guys in chapter 12!
