As Equals
Pov: Hachiman Hikigaya
I slowly open my eyes. I look to my alarm clock, really... 10:34am. I pull the covers back over my head.
"Damn that was an amazing dream." I whisper to no one.
Images of last night scattered by head.
Hehehe...wait...no way... That was real!
I jolt out of the covers.
That was real... I ughh, I got my first kiss... and I told her I loved her... and got a job offer... and had a nap with her in my arms.
What the hell happened!? ...or rather, how did all this happen?
I reach over to my phone to confirm the experience.
I am greeted with a new lock screen, one that Yukino had set for me on the way home last night. The picture of us at the event.
So weird... I was actually smiling... her smile too... ahh it's priceless. To think I was actually capable of causing her lovely expression. The way she was leaning onto me gave me a weird sense of pride. Like I could actually be called a man, not some pathetic child with no hope of getting a girlfriend.
Ok that was a bit harsh...that was literally me a year ago...
My eyes focus on a notification. The usual good morning text sent 2 hours ago... shit.
I text back saying I had just woken up.
Ahh Hachiman how the hell did you pull this off? I actually kissed Yukino... well more like she kissed be but that's just stupid specs... wait if she did it... that means I can too right? I mean it's only fair...
I'm so lucky...
'Ding'
I look at my phone.
"Good morning Hachiman :)"
Hehe, no more Hikigaya I suppose. And thank God for texting, there's no way I could talk to her right now. My brain needs time to comprehend everything.
"Good morning Yukino, what are you doing today?" I reply.
I'm not doing a damn thing...Unless she wants to... Thats the only person who could make me get out of bed in the next 3 hours.
"I'm just stretching before going out to get some things with Haruno, what are you doing today?"
Thats a relief, I need at least a day to process everything.
"Stretching for what? And not much might review some homework later."
Key word there "might"
"Oh I just stretch every morning, it's good for your health you know."
"And yes, do make sure you review your math, your class has a quiz tomorrow."
Ummmmm
Okay, first of all, how does she know I have a math quiz tomorrow? I'm relatively sure I never brought that up... creepy.
And really, she stretches everyday? I mean she does look really slim and fit, even if her stamina isn't too great. Her physique is immaculate, in more than one meaning of the word.
Maybe... ugh...should I do some exercise too?
"Yeah I'll review it." I reply before I get lost in my thoughts.
There are a few reasons why I would do it. One, I'm sure she would like me having a stronger and toned body. Now I am no where near unhealthy, just a bit on the slimmer side. Putting on some muscle would be good for me. Two, I do actually have a motive. If I want to protect her in the future, I should probably be able to do it physically, at least to an extent.
Okay maybe...
Another text disrupts my thoughts, "Hey, can you call me?"
Huh?
I thought we were saving me from embarrassment...
I reluctantly phone her.
Don't get shy now Hachiman, everything from last night was perfect.
"Hello."
How is her voice that refreshing to hear?
"Y-yo" I try to greet her normally.
"Hi, ummm Hachiman..." she sounds hesitant.
"Yes Y-Yukino?" I ask wondering if she needs something.
"Could uh, could you say it again." She mutters
Say that?! Again? Am I going to need to say that a lot?
"Pardon me?" I ask hoping she meant something else.
"C-can you say those words again? The three you said last night..." she requests shyly.
She did mean that... of course she did.
What a cute girl... I do really love her... and for her I'll say it.
I giggle and respond, "I love you, Yukino."
Did it just get easier the second time? I mean I already steeled my resolve on the matter, I suppose that declaring it again isn't a problem.
"..."
"Yukino?" I ask wondering if she was still there.
"Ah yes... thank you Hachiman, and I... I love you too." She states.
I can see why she paused, it takes a moment to process those words. And I can't really talk with this massive smile on my face.
And just like that my mental state shot through the roof.
"Hachi-" "Yuki-" we start talking at the same time.
"You first" I voice unsure as to what I was even going to say.
"Oh well I was just saying that I needed to go."
Damn it! I ugh... wanted to talk more.
"Oh okay then, wanna call later, sometime after supper?" I ask trying to secure more time to hear her voice.
"Sure, I will let you know when I'm free"
Well played Hachiman, well played.
"Okay then, cya"
"Goodbye Hachiman"
'Click'
I put my phone down and face plant into my pillow.
"How cute..."
"I am actually impressed Hachiman," Yukino looks at me smiling, "If you keep this up you might be able to follow me to to university."
Might? I just got a perfect score?! On math! If that doesn't mean I can get in I'm screwed...
"Y-yeah, um thank you, for you help I mean."
I have never gotten a perfect math score in my life, I've even failed multiple tests before... thank you Yukino, you've saved me.
"Umm, sempai? Your looking a bit too happy there!" Isshiki brakes us out of the moment.
"Well, big bro does have something to be happy about as of lately, it would make sense for him to smile." Komachi teases us.
Yukino blushes, "I um-"
"It's only natural right?" I interject, "I'm doing a lot better academically this year."
They can't know I'm only happy because of Yukino. They would never stop teasing me.
"Oh, are you sure it's not because of Yukino-san?!" Komachi teases again.
Annnd they already know...
"I-"
The swift opening of the door interrupts my unthought-out defence.
It was Miura... again...
"Miura-san?" Isshiki asks confused.
"Hey...guys." She enters the room without her usual bravado.
"Hello, Miura-san"
"Yo"
"Yahello Yumiko!"
Wait, why is Komachi using her first name?
"Koma-" I get cut off.
"Hello Komachi!" She waves back.
What is going on...
"Do you need something from us?" Yukino askes politely while closing my text book.
"Um yes actually, Ummm..." she pulls out her phone and approaches the middle of the table, "I was just wondering"
"Um so this picture?" She turns the phone around showing the four of us the picture of Yukino and I took last Saturday. "Um where were you two?" She looks worried.
Simultaneously Yukino and I blush looking at each other.
Damn it, Haruno really went and did it... Thanks Haruno, can always leave it up to you to give us grief.
"Woah, is that really you big bro? And Yukino-san you look so pretty!" Komachi shouts glaring at the phone.
"Wow, Senpai you clean up nice!"
I would be fine with dying right now if It wouldn't mean leaving Yukino in this situation.
"I ugh-"
"Where did you find that?" Yukino's Ice persona makes it's presence known.
Thankfully it's not against me this time so I can relax and let my partner handle the matter.
"Um well your sister posted it on Line today." She replies hesitantly as she puts her phone away.
That was kind of obvious Yukino...
Neither you or I even have Line, well actually you might. I never asked, but it's not like either of us would have posted that photo.
"I see, well than it can't be helped, I'm sorry what were you inquiring?" Her tone slowly becomes more soothing.
"Yeah it's fine," Miura states awkwardly, "Umm, where were you two and ... when was that taken?"
What does it matter to her?
"Well, Hachiman and I attended an event last Saturday with my family," she says blushing, presumably at all the memories we made that night.
"May I ask what was the event for?" She asks respectfully.
Now it clicks... Hayama
Anything to do with Hayama, that girl is always on it, how troublesome. And why does it always get back to involving us? Stop it!
"It was the Hayama's 20'th anniversary for their law firm." Yukino replies.
"Oh... I thought so... he did mention an event he was going to." She mutters under her breath.
"Well can you tell me something then?" She regains some of her usual passion.
"What would you like to know?"
"I ah, did he, um you know... have a date that night?" She eventually questioned.
How obsessed is she...
Yukino looks up and puts a finger to her chin, "I um... I don't remember honestly."
She looks to me, "Can't remember." I say abruptly. To be honest the whole night I was distracted by Yunkino and the brief conversation with her mom. I only saw Hayama two times and he was alone each time.
"O-oh..." she replies.
"Anything else?" I question wanting to get back to studying.
Yes I know how that sounds... I really like how she explains everything so graciously...
"Oh no, thanks anyways" she turns to the door then stops and faces us.
"Um by the way Yui is doing better, she wanted me to tell all of you."
Ah Yuigahama, to be honest, I have only thought of her a couple of times throughout all this. I really am terrible, but what can I do? She needs to get over me, we never would have worked out anyways...
"Oh, do you know when she will be coming to club?!" Komachi says energetically.
"Oh, um probably not for a while yet, she umm," she scratches her cheek, "She's not ready just yet."
Unfortunate, but to be honest I sort of dread the day she comes back... It's not like I don't want her here, it's just that... I know how it will go. I do hope she is okay though.
"Okay, thanks for letting us know Miura-san," Yukino solemnly smiles, "And thank you for being there when we can't."
"Yeah, it um...it can't be helped, I'll take care of her, you guys just do your thing." She smiles and makes her way out of the club.
At least Yuigahama has her other group of friends. Makes me feel a bit better...
"What... am... I... doing?" I mumble between breaths.
Who decided that working out was this fucking hard. There should be a level system to this shit. Like every amount of push-ups you do you get exp...
23...24...24 Thats all I got... 24.
I get up off my floor and take a drink of water.
Huh it's 6:45... guess 15 more minutes of this and I'll get ready for school.
I decided that I would just spend 20 minutes every morning to do a few exercises. Not much but I don't want to brake myself as I have only started this 3 days ago.
I start with push-ups, then sit-ups and then some Russian twist exercise I found on the internet. Good for abs I guess. After that, if I feel like it, I do a few squats or a plank. Other than that not to much. The exercises I do hit all the muscle groups I want. I should work out my arms, chest, back, core, even my shoulders should get bigger.
I'm still new to it, but eventually I'll probably expand my routine to a more well rounded one...I really don't want to work out legs and then walk to school...
There aren't any noticeable differences as of yet, well other than me being tired for the whole walk to school. Not that I wouldn't be tired anyways.
I hope I see some progress soon...
Pov: Yukino Yukinoshita
I have come to the conclusion I might have formed another addition. And unlike the others this one may be unhealthy...
Normally, society considers constant use of drugs and alcohol as addictions. I on the other hand, have obtained a few that I believe improve my life in some way. Actions such as stretching every morning or showering twice a day have become necessary in my life. I am addicted to keeping clean and organized, making sure everything is essentially perfect. I like that part of me, it's how I was raised.
However, I am still unsure of if this new 'addiction' is healthy or not. It results in no physical productivity, only enhancing my mood. The act has been on my mind abundantly over the past few days.
Of course I am talking about him, I feel the need to be with him, to touch him, to be in his embrace.
That night of the event made me realize something, it is profoundly comforting, the experience is so euphoric that it plagues my brain. The warmth, the smell, his touch, the way he holds his arms around me...I want it again.
It's normal right?
For a girl to want to be with her boyfriend... Surely others have experienced this, I can't be this desperate...
I am though...
So all thats left to do is to act...so I can get what I want.
It is a rather simple objective, no one would protest the act, the only problem is where could we cuddle?
"Eeeeee" Thinking about it makes me squirm.
I roll over onto my back.
This bed is nice, could we do it here? The only problem is that my family could be around and come in... I could choose a time where they're not here... How about Thursday? Mother and Father shouldn't be home until after supper and Nee-san... will probably be out. Hopefully.
That's the best chance I have of having an undisturbed meeting with him.
Ummmm okay a few more problems. One, how do I get him here, I can't just say my parents aren't home. That would only give him ideas, ideas that I'm not ready for yet. Ughhhh what am I thinking about!
R-right, I'll need to make a plan to get him to come over on Thursday.
Another thing, if he comes over after school he will only have his school uniform on. Which is not very comfortable... especially to lay on...
I could... buy him some clothes he could use...
If he has soft clothing then the whole experience would be even more soothing.
I roll around in my bed again to check the time. 6:43pm. I could make it...
What am I doing? I should be studying or something. Not thinking about going out to get my boyfriend clothes.
In the end I couldn't help myself. I got the driver to take me to a store to buy him clothes. I purchased a nice soft medium sized tee-shirt. It was white with a cat on the front. I thought he would like it... considering he has a cat at home...
Speaking of Kamakura, I can't wait to go over there this Saturday to see him. Although... I am quite nervous of meeting his parents...
I also bought him a nice dark grey pair of sweatpants. The material was very high quality and it was unbelievably soft.
Along with it all, I saw a hoodie I thought he would look good in, a white one with the kanji for Chiba on the front of it. Now I am not sure if he wears hoodies, but upon conducting some research on relationships over the past couple weeks I have found out that boys think it's cute when a girl wears their hoodie. So I am going to try it. The hoodie fits a bit big on me but should fit him perfectly... I hope he likes it...
Now, on to the next part of the plan...

I open my can of Max coffee.
I am currently outside at my favourite lunch spot. This time however, I also have my favourite person next to me. My perfect lunch break scenario.
With spring in full effect, the weather is perfect, not to hot, nor to cold, the breeze from the sea is perfect. Undeniably, a perfect day. Even Yukino's hair occasionally flying into my face was oddly pleasant.
"Hachiman, how do you go the whole school day without eating?" Yukino questions
Cause I'm lazy...
"Ah yeah, well I didn't have time to pack anything." I reason.
I kind of did have time, but with my new routine I am quite rushed in the morning. Also, my excuse didn't really make sense because I never brought anything to eat at lunch at all this year.
Good thing for Max coffee...
"How responsible," she giggles, "Well lucky for you, today I made a extra bento for you." She grins.
I look to her in surprise, "No way, really?!" I say in excitement, her cooking is amazing.
She reaches into her bag and pulls out a grey bento box, "Well it's not healthy to go so long without food, and as your girlfriend, it is my job to keep up your health." She explains while giving me the bento.
"O-oh... thank you, Yukino."
I take the lid off to see a full Japanese style bento box. Rice balls, and multiple different pieces of sushi.
I guess she remembered me wanting to try her nigiri.
I take a piece of the sushi and eat it.
"What in the... this is amazing!" I spew out trying not to let the food out of my mouth.
Her face turns from a grin to disgust...and then back to a grin.
"Y-yes thank you Hachiman, but you should refrain from talking while eating, it is quite unsettling." She ends slightly giggling.
"Yeah um sorry," I say after swallowing, "But it is really good."
She blushes, "Well I'm glad you think so... maybe I could make you lunch everyday... if you want." She mumbles as she guides her chopsticks to her food.
"Really!" I turn to her, "Um yeah actually, I would love that..." I was definitely too excited for that...
She smiles at me, opening her mouth then closing it. It looks like she didn't know what to say.
After a moment she speaks up, "S-sure... but...you have to come over occasionally to help me." She says with a weird mix of hesitant confidence.
I stop eating and turn to her, "huh?"
Ummm like in the morning?
"You need to come over to my house after school sometimes...So we can make our lunches."
"I ughh I'm-"
"Or do you not want lunches?" She threatens with a smile.
I do like the idea of spending time with her outside of school but her family is a... deterrent.
But it's food Hachiman, you can't deny free food...especially hers.
"S-sure...I'll come over then." I accept the deal.
"Great! ...well then, we can start with tonight." She pokes her food.
Don't go getting embarrassed now Yukino...
"Huh? Um tonight, I'm not sure if Komachi will be okay wi-"
"Oh, I already texted her asking if it was okay." She says energeticly, "She said that I can have you whenever I want, also that she can take care of herself now."
Huh? My Imouto sold me off... just like that? After all I did for you, you just throw me into the arms of my beautiful girlfriend... Thank you Komachi, good choice. You've gained some points for this.
Also, Yukino planned this?! She umm... is really proactive with me...
"R-right," I say in shock of her scheme," Then I guess I will come over then."
"Awesome, maybe I can teach you how to make sushi." She says playfully.
School came and went as usual. Club consisted of the usual, tea, snacks and studying. And now, were on the way back to Yukino's mansion, to cook... I think.
"You sure this is okay?" I ask in fear of it bothering her family.
"Yes Hachiman," she sigh's, "I told you they are perfectly fine with you coming over, you are able to come whenever."
It still feels weird though...
"R-right." We walk through the gate.
"So what are we doing then?"
"Well I figured we could make lunch for tomorrow and dinner tonight."
"Wait, I thought your family had a chef to cook for you guys?"
"Only when my parents don't feel like cooking or when we have special guests, whenever they aren't home I end up preparing something for myself."
Ohh, I thought they literally never cooked... that makes them more normal I suppose.
Wait, does that mean they aren't home?
"O-oh"
When we get to the door Yukino puts in the Pin code, not even bothering to hide it because it was so long. I follow her into the palace that is her home.
"Pardon the intrusion" I state as I enter.
"It's fine Hachiman." She smiles and closes the door, "No one's home tonight."
Internally my jaw drops, what the hell, the first time I am completely alone with my girlfriend is in her mansion? I can't lie, part of me is anxious, another part of me, excited.
"R-right," I take off my shoes after her, "Where are they then?"
"Well, my parents are out signing a deal I think, on the other side of the city. And Haruno, could be studying somewhere or... maybe in class, I'm not sure of her schedule." She ponders after putting down her bag on the bench next to the door.
"Wait, what is Haruno studying for?" She seems like the type to learn from experience not school.
I put my school bag next to hers.
"Well she's taking business and a minor in politics here in Chiba," She start's walking into the house.
I follow, "Not in tokyo?" I ask confused, I thought their parents would like for her to go to a better school?
"Ah well no actually, my father said that if she wants to get into Chiba politics in the future it would look good to have studied in Chiba."
We turn a few corners, "Oh that makes sense,"
"So why are you going to Tokyo?" I question.
We enter the kitchen, It was actual extremely nice, everything was clean and modern, the appliances were stainless steel, and there was a huge kitchen island in the middle of the room that held the sink.
"Well, I thought about it quite a bit," she walked up to the counter and turned to me." I think, I wanted the better education, if things don't work out with my father's company then I will have more options. So Tokyo is the best choice for me."
Her answer makes me smile, she really has thought about her future, her own choice.
I chuckle, "I see, so what are we making?" I put my hands on the counter.
"Well first of all we need to wash our hands, and then wash that counter you just infected Hiki-germa-kun." She teases
And the banter starts...
"In that case, I suppose we burn down your parents mansion, In hopes the virus will be destroyed." I laugh back
I've learned something recently, if you take away the oxygen to her insults, they slowly burn out.
"If that would be enough, surely my parents would understand. Unfortunately, your Hiki-germs have infected most of the Chiba prefecture by now." She jokes as she washes her hands.
Or they get worse...
"Truly a disaster," I fake sigh, "I presume your confident in your immune system if you let me into your house." I walk over to her as she finishes.
"Well, it takes confidence to accept the life of such a biological threat, the responsibility is on me now." she smiles, "Now wash up or I'll go to prison."
This girl... I love her
I chuckle, "Alright, will do."
I proceeded to wash my hands and then the counter with a cloth Yukino handed to me.
"So... what do you want to eat?" She questiones as she opens the fridge.
How am I supposed to choose? It's her house...
"Umm, chef's choice?"
She peeks at me still facing the fridge "Well my co-chef should have an opinion."
Woah, the way the light from the fridge hits her face makes my heart flutter. Shes so cute.
And also co-chef? Am I really helping that much?
"Um well could you give me some options then."
She turns her head back to the fridge, "Um well, we can make some sushi for lunch tomorrow and then... we could make either... um curry rice or... tonkatsu?" She ends looking at me.
Considering I am to help with the meal and I have never make tonkatsu before, the choice is obvious.
"Umm then curry rice."
"Very well," she pulls out some beef and places it on the counter.
"You ready?" She says preceding a holy smirk.
This will be fun...
That was the best meal I have ever ate... I'm marrying this girl. Her food is mine.
After eating and cleaning up, Yukino really wanted to make some cookies along with our lunches for some reason. So thats what we did. It was quite fun actually, the whole evening she has been showing off her vast source of knowledge in the kitchen. We teased each other, made each other try things, we laughed at our, well...my mistakes. I definitely wouldn't mind doing this with her forever.
"Now we wait." Yukino puts the tray into the oven and sets the timer.
"Y-yeah." I'm still in awe.
"Well, it will be a while until we can try them." She puts the oven mitts away.
"Yeah, um what should we do?" I ask unsure if I should even stay for them to be done. It is already close to 7pm. I wonder when her parents will get home?
"W-well I did want to watch a movie with you tonight," She expresses extremely shyly.
Huh? She really planned this...
"O-oh um, are you sure I should be staying so late?" I question even though I know I want to stay.
"It's fine with me, my parents won't mind either."
"Oh, okay then..."
I guess a movie won't hurt. What could go wrong...
"Well it's only on my laptop... sooo do you want to come up to my room?" She asks overflowing with cuteness.
Ummmm please, Yukino my heart...
"S-sure"
My brain is throwing me curve balls. I don't know what to think.
I follow her through the hallway then upstairs. We get to a few rooms on either side of the hallway.
"It's this one," Yukino enters the last room on the right.
Upon entering I am stunned, the room is damn near spotless. The walls are dark grey and there a queen bed in the corner. To the left, a desk with some of her school work on top. On the other side of the bed there is a dresser with a mirror and some pictures on it. In particular, the one of us at the event, and another one us, one I didn't even know existed. It was us at Destiny Land, that brings back memories.
She approaches her nightstand and grabs the laptop as I walk towards that picture to get a better look.
"Y-yukino... w-when did u get this?" I ask out of confusion, pointing at the framed picture.
She turns to me, "O-oh, that... well um I got it developed that day... they take a picture of everyone who goes on that ride." She states shyly.
"Oh..." that's so cute...wait...how long did she like me for?
"Yes," she sets her laptop on the bed and grabs a bag from under the bed.
"H-here," she hands me the bag, "It um.. it's some clothes, you wouldn't want to crease your uniform..." she says looking away from me.
Ummmm what the hell...she bought me clothes for this?
"Umm t-thanks, but um when did u get these?" I ask looking into the bag.
She blushes, "Well I umm... I thought that you would need something to wear when you come over... so I picked them up the other day." She says shyly.
She is really something, how could anyone handle this cuteness...
"U-umm okay, w-where should I change then?"
She points the the other side of the room, "You can use the washroom right there."
Wait, she has a bathroom connected to her room?
"O-okay..."
I proceeded to go into the bathroom and change. The clothes she picked out were really comfortable and stylish... other than the big cat face on the front of the shirt. Of course she would get me something like that... I didn't put on the hoodie but it was nice as well. I am touched by her thoughtfulness. I might need to get her something sometime.
I exit the washroom in my new outfit, and my school uniform folded up. Yukino was on her bed with some clothes next to her, fiddling with her laptop.
She looks up to me smiling, "Hehe, they look good on you Hachiman."
"T-thanks" I blush. Why can't I take a complement from her properly?
"Oh, you can put your uniform on the dresser for now," she hops off the bed with her change of clothes. "You can lay on the bed for now and umm... no snooping." She said hesitantly then proceeded to go change.
R-right... what would she have to hide anyways...
I sit down on the bed and as I previously suspected, it was amazing. I sank right into it. There was a few pillows and some sort of soft bean bag in the corner. Are we going to lay down here and watch a movie? I hope so...
After a moment Yukino exits the the washroom, changed into similar clothing, grey sweatpants, and a teal shirt perfectly complementing her eyes. Her raven hair flowing freely drown to her waist. A relaxed yet stunning style, I love it.
"I ugh-"
"Why aren't you laying down?" She says cutting of my complement.
"Huh?"
"Lay down, were going to watch a movie" Yukino says as she walks to the door and dims the lights so that they were easier on the eyes. That did make me a little worried. Everything that's happening seems to be something out of a... you know...
Anyways, she crawls onto the bed and picks up her laptop.
She pulls the bean bag out of the corner and pushes it up to the headboard. "You can lean on this." She smiles.
She must have been excited for this... not going to lie... so am I...
"S-sure." I crawl next to her and lean my back onto one side the cushion, causing me to be into an upright position with my legs extended.
What happened next was completely unexpected.
Yukino stood up on the bed over top of me and then sat down right next to me with her legs dangling across mine and her torso completely leaning onto the left side of my chest. She wrapped her right arm around my back and snuggled up to me then pulled the laptop onto her legs.
What the hell...
"Y-Yukino..."
Her warmth instantly hit, making me want more.
I pulled my arm out from in between us and wrapped it around her pulling her closer. It was amazing, the softness of our clothes and how close we were was exhilarating. The slimness of her figure was alluring, like she had no extra fat on her body. The way she was leaching onto me caused me to feel something I very much liked. Though they are not the biggest I have known, they definitely were the most satisfying to have pressed against me. Through our shirts I could feel the fabric of her bra... I can't be thinking of this right now!
She snaps me out of my perversion, she coughs and looks up to me smiling, "Well should we get started then?"
"S-sure... what are we watching?" I ask as I rub her back slightly.
"Ah," she jolts at my touch.
"Sorry!" I halt, "Is that too much?" I question, it shouldn't be... she literally just sat on top of me...
"N-no... it was just unexpected... you can continue... if you want to." She leans her head onto me.
Smelling her fruity shampoo I reply, "I won't if you don't want me to."
"Please," she quickly replies, "Please do it some more."
Guess she does like it...
I proceeded to gently rub her back as she pressed play on her laptop. This caused her to press herself even closer to me almost causing me to burst. She's got quite the grip...
"So what are we watching?" I ask again.
"Well there's this movie that Destiny Land produced... it umm its about Pan-san..." she shyly admitted into my tee-shirt.
Of course it is... well just cuddling with her is enough for me... I don't really care about the movie honestly.
"Sure..."
The movie was going well. She was relaxing in my arms while I slowly stroked her back. Her cute squirms whenever I touched a part of her that she didn't expect gave me a weird feeling of joy. Of course I never went anywhere too dangerous, just her sides or moving my hand from her back to her stomach. Her hair that would tickle my chin smelled amazing. I was loving every moment.
'Beep, beep, beep'
She flinches and pulls out her phone from her pocket, "Oh, the cookies are done."
She pauses the movie and looks up to me, "Umm... stay here okay... I'll go get us some and then we can finish the movie" she say's cutely.
"Sure, I'm looking forward to them." I say honestly with a smile.
She then did another thing I didn't expect.
She tilted her head and brought it up to my face. When her lips met mine I was reminded of this euphoric sensation. The softness of her lips had mine melting.
What shocked me this time was that the feeling was still there... not a quick peck. She was actively kissing me... unknowingly I moved back, bringing my hand to her cheek to kiss her back with zero experience. I knew it was sloppy, but it didn't matter to Yukino, as she kissed me with equal passion.
After a few moments we separated to catch our breaths. That was the best 10 seconds of my life...
"H-hachi"
My heart shuddered...
Such a pure voice whispering my nickname like that... I'm dreaming right?
My eyes focus on the girl no more than an inch away from my face.
Nope it's real.
"Yuki." I give her a nick name back.
I did want to call her that for a while. The name suits her... maybe not like this...where she is as hot as the sun, but it suits her Ice queen persona and the colour of her eyes, considering the kanji for Yuki means snow.
"I love you Hachi" she buries her head back into my shoulder.
I squeeze her into me, "I love you too Yukino"
I really do... I really love Yukinoshita Yukino!
Pov: Yukino Yukinoshita
The whole process of taking out the cookies was a blur to me. My mind was solely occupied on the kiss me and Hachiman just shared. It was incredible... everything felt right. The connection between us was so rewarding I can hardly comprehend it. I can't wait to spend more time with him like this.
I take out a plate and put a few cookies onto it for each of us.
The only thing I am frightened about all of this was his... thing.
As satisfying as leaning onto him was, his body is still human and had quite the reaction when I was kissing him. It ummm. It felt like it...would be on the larger side...
Down the line Yukino... not now...
This whole thing is still new to me, but I can confidently say that this is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.
I wonder... I wonder if I'm able to tell him...
I take my phone out and call my mother. Something I normally don't like to do, but recently communicating with her has been much better.
She knew Hachiman was coming over tonight.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Good evening Mother"
"One moment please"
I assume she is excusing herself to talk to me.
"Yes Yukino, did you need something?" She asks.
"Um yes, I was just wondering if Hachiman could stay the night tonight?" I ask extremely hopefully.
"Um, I'm sorry, did you mean like with you? In your room?"
Ohh... I forgot about the guest rooms... Ummm oh well.
"Um yes mother, we were watching a movie and I found it very relaxing with him here, so I was wondering if he could stay?" I ask practically squirming at the thought.
Please accept!
"Um, okay then, remember though there's no need to rush anything, and it's okay to say no." She responds caringly.
Ughhh I didn't mean it like that...
"Um I only want to sleep next to him... not anything else." ... yet
"Oh my mistake Yukino, well, me and your father should be leaving soon, maybe we will see you two." She replies.
"Okay thank you, good night mother."
"Good bye"
I end the call.
Then it's set, I will tell him tonight, when I'm in his arms. Then we can be together forever.
After putting the rest of the cookies in a container for later, I grab the plate and walk towards my room. I really can't wait to be in his arms again, the way we was rubbing my back felt amazing but the best part was when he just held his hand on my stomach, I felt so secured, once again like there were no problems in my life. Maybe... we could kiss again...
I open my door to see him looking at his phone then up to me with a smile. I really like that smile...
"They turned out well," I hold up the plate while climbing onto the bed.
"I'd hope so, we put a lot of effort into them." He laughs as I approach him.
I pass him the plate as I resume my spot, leaning into him and resting my legs over top of his, at last the warmth is back. He places his hand back around my stomach making me want to fall right through him.
"Well should we try them?" He states asks as he puts down the plate beside him and takes up a cookie.
"Wait!" I stop him from eating it, "Um, c-can you feed me it." I ask as blood rushes to my face.
It seems that his body had the same reaction as his face turned crimson, "S-sure" he held out the cookie to my mouth.
I took a bite of the cookie out of his hand. I must say it was amazing, I'm not sure if it's because we made it that high quality or because he was the one that fed it to me.
I finish the cookie slightly touching his finger with my lips. His awkward face showed his feelings all to clear.
"I must say," I smile to him, "We did quite a good job."
"Ah, yeah I thought so." He chuckles.
I reach around him grabbing another cookie and held it up to his mouth. As he goes to eat it I get greedy and pull it away from him. Something about teasing him is so satisfying. And the pouting face he displays fills my heart with content, even if I know he was just faking it.
"I'm sorry," I confess slightly laughing, "here" I offer it again.
He eats the cookie straight out of my hand. It felt right... like I was giving him my love.
He finishes and smiles, "Your right, it's perfect"
He then pulls me closer to him and sets my laptop up back on my legs.
At this point in time I have no idea what was going on in the movie... my thoughts were all on him. Perhaps I will need to watch it again by myself...though, if I had the option of watching it by myself or with him again the answer is obvious.
After a while of ignoring the movie I found my self growing anxious, I had a plan set out but I am unsure if I am able to complete it. I want to communicate my feelings to him, just as he did to me... how in the world did he do such a thing...
I suppose I'll start with getting him to stay overnight.
I sat relatively still for the remainder of the movie, I'm sure I dozed off a few times. How could I not? In a situation as relaxing as that.
By the time I opened my eyes the laptop was on a black screen and the light that was shining from the window was gone.
"Mmmm" I wiggle around to find I'm still in his embrace.
"So warm," I whisper as I look up to see his head laidback. His eyes closed, just as when we were at the event.
I tap the mousepad to reveal the time, 9:48pm. Is it late enough to cause him to stay here? Doesn't matter I'll just go back to sleep.
After moving the laptop off of us, I doze off again.
"Yukino" he whispers
Huh?
"Yukino" He speaks softly and rubs my back.
I open my eyes to a dim room and a charming face above me.
"Hachi?" I slowly regain my consciousness.
"Y-yeah, we... fell asleep"
I yawn and laugh, "I suppose we did"
I remember the plan, I need to get him to stay...
"What time is it?" I ask rolling into him more.
"I- ah, it's 11:20" he murmurs awkwardly as he brushes my hair out of my face.
That was... something...
I blush, "O-oh," I sit up slightly, "Thats quite late."
He drops his hand from my back, "Y-yeah, it is..."
I'm going for it...
"Well, do you want to stay the night? It's quite late and I don't want you to walk home..." I ask actively trying to appeal to him.
"Huh?!" He questioned.
"Well, we were already sort of sleeping together so we might as well continue, your uniform is here so we can just go to school together tomorrow." I explain.
Please accept... I don't want to sleep without you tonight...
"Umm, I don't know, I'm sure you- wait where are you parents?" He inquires seriously.
Do I just tell him I already asked?
"Oh... yeah, they're already home... I sort of asked them earlier if you could stay, they said you could... if you want to." I ask putting my hands on my lap.
"Ughh..." He smiles, "Do you want me to?"
Of course I do... why else would I plan all of this...Dummy
"Y-yes, you should stay here," I grin, "with me"
"Umm alright then, I'll stay." He says scratching his head.
Prefect.
I reluctantly get up off of him. The thought of being next to him for the whole night makes me blush.
"W-well we should get ready for bed then... I have some extra toiletries in the bathroom you can use." I mention as I slide off the bed.
He follows suit, "S-sure, thanks."
We proceeded to brush our teeth and get ready for bed. It's a good thing I bought him those clothes...
As I never had the chance to shower this evening, I settled on watching my face.
After going to the bathroom I laid down in my bed, under the covers this time. Still in my sweats, not wanting to change out of them. I'm waiting for Hachi to finish up and text home to let his family know he's staying here tonight.
I'll tell him... I'll do it
He exits the washroom. "Umm Yukino... are you sure ab-"
"Hachi... come over here." I slightly raise my voice while lifting the covers, inviting him to lay next to me.
"R-right" He slowly slides into bed right next to me.
At the point I couldn't help myself. I want his lips again. I want to feel connected with him.
However, I'm not sure which I want to do first, tell him my feelings or kiss him. I suppose it doesn't matter, I'll have time to do both.
I turn onto my stomach and wrap an arm around his torso.
I'm definitely not procrastinating...
"Y-Yukino... are you sure we should be sleeping like this?"
"No talking... for now."
I pull my self above him. Practically straddling him. With my chest completely pressed against him, and my left leg slightly over top of his. I bring my face right above his own.
"Yuki" he mumbles as we stare into each other's eyes.
I said no talking...
"Hachi, kiss me..." I request, smelling the freshness of his breath from the mint toothpaste.
This will be good...
"What?" He breaks his gaze, "I umm-"
Huh? Does he not want to... Is it because of me? I... I'm attractive right...
"W-why not, you d-don't want to?" I question hoping he would.
"N-no it's not that it's just, how your laying... I'm a guy."
As he said that I slowly felt it... It just so happened that my thigh was pressed against that area... It slowly kept getting bigger.
This is quite the problem... I... I want to kiss him...
"I umm sorry, it's just I-"
I cut him off, "No Hachi... it's not your fault, It um, it's natural," I smile, "I'm glad you find me attractive... b-but I don't think we can do anything about that for now."
I definitely am not ready for that... I'll need to do research to know how to please him... What am I thinking! Yukino your... thinking of...No! There are other ways of learning those things, like blogs...or how to guides...
"R-right" he replies nervously.
"B-but I still want you to kiss me..." I cup his cheek making him look at me, "We can do that right?" I ask in desperation.
"Sure." He replies strongly and grasps my waist with his hands, "J-just ignore...that."
I'm not sure I can...
"Okay..."
Our faces are so close...
Why is he hesitant?
"Hachi, I'll be clear I want you to kiss me right now." I say sternly. Honestly, he needs to take initiative sometimes.
He nods and gets to work. Tilting his head he brings his lips to mine. Just like I remember. The soft warmth of his lips feel incredible. I found myself returning the favour, as I move back kissing him harder. His head leans back into the pillow as I continue my onslaught. It feels too good to stop now. As we are... expressing ourselves, I can feel his genitalia growing even more, slightly causing me to panic before focusing again on Hachi.
Oh right I need to breath...
I separate from him completely out of breath.
"Y...yuki" he mumbles between breaths.
He is the only person that has ever called me that... I love it. The name is solely for him.
"Hachi"
Though I ended up taking the lead again... I want him to...
After a moment of smiling and catching our breaths I inquired, "Hachi... can you take control... I want you to kiss me... I can't always be the one initiating."
"Huh...but...I might get carried away...I would never forgive myself if I took this too far." He says worriedly.
That is true... I'll stop him if he does.
"Hachi its fine just... don't touch anything down there... or my chest... other than that you can take control." I smile at him, "But do stop if I say so."
He sighs then smirks back, "Your choice,"
To my surprise he quickly flips our positions. How he did that so fast was beyond me. Now I am laying on my back with him hovering over me, his elbows supporting him so he doesn't crush me. I suddenly feel powerless. Like a Lioness waiting for her time...I feel his bulge pressed right above my crotch trying to escape. His presence is pure domination.
I may have miscalculated...
He quickly got to work kissing me with extreme passion. He pulled at my lips making me melt into it. No thoughts clouded my mind, I just went with the kiss. Bringing my hands to the back of his head, pulling him further into me. Utopia.
As he backed away he quickly changed directions and brought his lips right to the side of my neck. Softly kissing it in circles.
"Ah"
...That made me moan... No! A gasp, thats right I gasped.
"H-Hachi... S-top.." I spew out of breath.
He jolts back, "I'm sorry!" He looks down at me, "I ah... I'm sorry..."
I really didn't mean it like that...
"I-it's fine.." I stroke his hair, "B-but that might leave a mark..."
"R-right" He inspects my neck, "Y-you're good, there's nothing there..."
I only smile and pull him back in for another kiss.
I may have developed another addiction...
After around 10 minutes of taking turns initiating, I knew it was time...
I was going to secure this for myself...for us.
There's no way I would forgive myself if this fall's apart because I wasn't committed enough.
At the moment I was on top of him, face pressed into his chest, catching my breath. As satisfying as it was, I was quite tired after all of it.
"Hachi, d-do you want some water?" I ask, needing some myself.
"S-sure" He responds.
"Okay," I push myself off of him, "I'll be back." I shoot him a smile.
I proceeded to slip of the bed, knees weak from the actions preceding the endeavour. I walk down the stairs in the dark. By now, I have the route mapped out in my head so I no longer need the lights on and can make due with the minimal lighting of the moon. Though my thoughts are sporadic, between making out with him and the notion of articulating my feelings.
After filling two glasses with water I make my way back into my room. Recently I have been excited to go into this room. It give's me privacy so I can call him... I'm distorting his life too, I'm sure.
I enter my room and walk to the other side of the bed sitting down. I'm close enough to Hachiman so that I can give him a glass of water, which he readily accepts. It was very well needed. After a while of... exertion... my mouth felt quite dry.
"T-thanks for that." He replied sitting up next to me.
I keep thinking back to the words he said that night, well...both of those nights. It's incredible how he did such a thing...
As I finish my water I put the glass on the night stand and look over at him. A crude boy, he looks really cute to me now, but before he did look rather... uncanny. His eyes have regained that sparkle...for the time being. I presume I will be able to heal those eyes. Though his appearance, as loveable as it is, is not what I'm after. It's his heart and brain. I'm not sure why, but I know they're...different than most. The way he thinks, the way he he cares, what he wants. All of it is rather strange. And I fell in love with those. I need to tell him this.
"Hachiman?"
I brake him out of thought.
"Sorry did you say something?" He turns to me
"N-no," I take the empty glass out of his hands and set it next to mine.
"What were you thinking about?" I question as we were silent for some time.
"Huh? Oh umm... just... how far we've come." He smiles.
We're about to go further... emotionally speaking...
"Y-yeah, say, can we sit down and talk for a bit?"
"Umm where?" He asks looking around the room.
"Oh just on the bed."
"S-sure"
I crawl closer to the wall and sit facing him cross-legged. He leans his back against my bean bag.
How rude... I'm about to tell him my feelings and he's leaning so far away from me...
I shuffle closer to him, my knees in contact with his leg, and take up his hands.
"Yukino?" He slightly sits up wide eyed from my expression.
"H-Hachiman..." How was he so courageous.?
"Is something wrong?" He asks affectionately.
"N-no everything is perfect... too perfect."
"Then whats the matter?" He sits up straight.
"I, ugh... I want, I want to tell you something. Well a lot of things actually, and ask you somethings."
And seal the deal...
"Huh? Ummm s-sure." He turns serious.
"Well, first of all, I must apologize," I play with his hands, the only way I can distract myself from anxiety.
"Pardon me?"
I look him in the eyes, "I need to apologize, even though you asked for something genuine...I should have just followed my feelings..."
"Yukino..."
"So, I need to apologize, to you, I'm sorry I pushed you away before, even though I had feelings for you, I wasn't courageous enough to act on them."
He slightly smiles, "Oh that... you don't need to worry about that,"
"I do! You had to do everything for this situation we both desired."
It actually hurts thinking about it.
"I-I even pushed you to be with Yuigahama..." I drop my head in shame.
"It's fine Yukino" He squeezes my hands.
"I'm just extremely lucky your so amazing," I look him in the eyes, "Even when things were hard, you knew what you wanted...and you got what you wanted...you always do" I smile.
"Will you accept my apology?"
"Yeah...don't worry about it... we were all learning."
Hehehe...we were...and still are.
"Thank you Hachiman."
"Mmm"
"So...I would also like to tell you my feelings...like you did that night." I say nervously.
"Y-you don't have to you know..."
"I want to! The words you said made me feel extremely loved, and I, I want you to feel that too."
"R-right" He blushes
I take a deep breath to gather myself.
Here I go.
"Well, first I would like to say thank you, for all you have done for me or because of me. Helping me all those times...no one has ever supported me like that before. I liked the feeling of having you beside me. Even if I relied on you to much...I will get better at that, I promise. But, that doesn't mean I won't share with you, I want to be able to hear your thoughts on certain things. Will you support me this way?"
I still need to become independent, but I really want him to support me...
He grins, "Of course Yukino, I'll be there for you."
I sigh in relief, "Thank you... You have taught me so much over the last year. Probably as much as I taught you." I giggle, "You taught me to be human, as weird as that sounds."
"What?" He looks at me confused.
"As much as I joke about your humanity, I feel like you've taught me how to live in a way. You and Yuigahama, you've shown me how to trust people, I never expected others to go out of their way to help me before. I thought that I could do things alone... that's not the case."
I intertwine my fingers with his.
"Thats where teamwork comes in... we're a team... and teams, or partners rather, are equal. And that is why I feel the need to tell you this, you've confessed to me twice already, stating how you feel and also why you feel that way... I must say that those times were the happiest times of my life. So I want to give you that feeling as well."
"Yuki..." He smiles.
I giggle at how infrequently I have spoken of my feelings like this, this might be my first time.
"I want to start with thing that made me fall for you, as well as made this all happen. Your mind. I'm not sure how that mind of yours operates, but it's definitely different. Your creative, smart, you think outside the box. The way you solve problems actually bewildered me at first. I have never once thought to solve a problem the same way as you, and I think of a multitude of solutions."
I reminisce about all the requests we have been through together. Some of them, a happy ending, some... not so happy.
"Even if your methods have previously been... a bit problematic... you have still proven over and over your capabilities. I'm not sure why you go so far to help others...but I really like that about you. You care so much about people you don't know, and you don't expect anything in return."
It's similar to my ideals even if he doesn't realize it.
"I like how much you've grown over the past year, it actually felt rewarding watching it happen...even if it was stressful at times... I'm glad to be a part of it. I like how you're comfortable being yourself, not hiding your emotions or thoughts on the matter. I like how courageous you are. As much as it doesn't look like it, you are, the things you have done required extreme valor."
At this point he is smiling, tears down his face, forcing himself to listen.
"You're presence has grown on me, at first I was annoyed but... after a while I started to look forward to being near you. Even if I never showed it, I liked reading next to you, or hearing your useless comments or world views. I like how your actually quite funny, sometimes I need to remember your jokes and look them up later just to realize that they are truely entertaining... Not to mention the banter we share." I giggle at the thought.
"Hehe" He giggles emotionally.
"I like being close to you too, dancing with you that night made it obvious. I enjoy being in your arms...feeling your warmth. It makes me feel extremely loved and secured, like I have nothing else to worry about. Recently, being with you is utterly comforting, relaxing, even fun...and something I wish to continue."
"Even your appearance has grown on me, your ahoge is weirdly attractive, it's unique... and also," I looke into his eyes, still widened and loveable.
"I..I like your eyes." I blush, "You know...they have changed recently, well maybe only when were together or doing something meaningful, but even so...they...they have this shine to them. Like they have been revived... I want to make sure they stay like this...forever."
I take a deep breath, knowing there is no talking this back.
"S-so, there are many more reasons as to why I love you, b-but I need to secure this. We're partners, and as I said... partners are equal... so if you gave me your life... it is only right."
"Y-Yukino..." he releases his hand and wipes away his tears.
I smile, I want this feeling forever, and I only want it with him.
"Hachiman Hikigaya, I give you my life... My life and everything that comes with it, I'll entrust it to you as you have with me. So promise me Hachiman... please take care of me...forever." I end tearing up myself.
That was so much more impactful than I thought... I am so glad I said it.
"Y-Yukino" He pulls me into a hug, resting his head next to mine.
"As long as you'll have me..." He whispers, "I promise."
The relief that followed my confession was that like no other. My mind was merely left with joy and visions of our future. Thoughts of us graduating, then going to university, buying a house, g-getting m-married...starting a f-family... they all flew through my mind as a lay atop of the one who saved me. With my eyes closed the only information the world is giving me is him, his warmth...his heart beat... his life.
I'm never letting go... we will make it. I'll make sure of it. I'm confident in that. He wishes for something genuine with me and I am more than happy to comply. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way.
"Good night Hachi." I whisper into his chest.
"I love you Yukino" his words warm my heart.
What other response is there to that...
"I love you Hachi"
Note: This was actually quite fun to write. I do like exploring the fluffiness of their relationship. Even if it might be slightly rushed (based on how quickly they got to this point) It is what I ended up writing about. I think I'll explore more about the two while they're alone as well as when they are facing the world together. I appreciate all the reviews, I hope you continue to provide feedback on this fic as I do read them and think about them as I write. Let me know what kind of things you want to see(more fluff, lemon, other relationships, more of Yukimom involvement) I don't exactly know what else I want to show so lmk. Thanks again, see you soon.
