p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Sorry, Sakura. I can't hold back."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"With an uncharacteristic aggression, he pushed the girl onto the bed. The mattress creaked softly as it supported the weight of the timid girl./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ayanokouji's breath hitched in his throat at the sight of Sakura sprawled out on the bed underneath him. Everything about her was irresistible, from her messy hair to her dishevelled clothes, and his heart burned with passion and desire./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He pinned her arms on the bed and looked onto her helpless eyes, his breath as heavy as her heartbeat. She gave a whimper as she quivered under his heavy stare, eventually squeezing her eyes shut and turning her head./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ayanokouji's heart swelled, jubilant at the sight in front of him. His breathing grew heavier and heavier as he started to pant with lust and desire for Sakura flooded his consciousness and overtook any remnants of restraint he had in his body./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He wanted her./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He needed her./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"And just like a predator claiming its prey, he zeroed in onto her supple skin and sank his teeth into her neck./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"It wasn't a serious bite. But the shock that it gave Sakura together with the small burst of pain shot down her body, sending shivers down her spine./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"The world around her fizzled out of existence, and the only thing she could feel was Ayanokouji's body on top of her's and his teeth gently nibbling on the nape of her neck./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ayanokouji tried to be gentle. He really did. But he just couldn't resist. She was a literal goddess, and everything about her tempted him into a wild frenzy./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck, ignoring Sakura's panicked whimper./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""A-Ayanokouji-kun, please d-don't..."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He sniffed her skin, and engrained the faint smell of strawberry and her sweat into his memory. She was so irresistible, and Ayanokouji was reminded of how much he treasured the beautiful girl that brought light into his world./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"No one would've expected that he could change so much as a person, but Sakura managed to fill his heart with warmth, and showed him that maybe the world wasn't always such a cruel place after all./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Sakura whined softly - her body was starting to ache, and Ayanokouji apologised while releasing her wrists and circling his arms behind her back, turning them over so that Sakura was on top, holding her tight for a hug./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"An indescribable warmth filled their bodies, and he couldn't help but chuckle at the content expression on her face, the initial tension dissipating like faded memories./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Nothing else mattered at that point, because she could die happy and she wouldn't mind./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Sakura.."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Ayanokouji.."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"With his gaze transfixed on her succulent lips, he closed the distance between them as her heart throbbed for his love./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Sakura closed her eyes shut, as she anticipated the tender warmth that would eventually flood her body./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"And woke up with a start, her alarm clock beeping incessantly as to dispel the floating happiness of her dream./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"More embarrassed than she was frustrated, Sakura tapped her alarm shut and buried her face into her pillow./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"More and more dreams of a similar manner had started to pop up recently, and it was a bittersweet experience./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Why do I always wake up before the best moments…" She lamented while shutting her eyes again, basking in the afterglow of the gratifying experience./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"At this rate, she wouldn't be able to keep calm at all when talking to him./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"She tried to steel herself mentally, but all that kept popping up in her mind was Ayanokouji's face./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"With a light sigh, she got off the bed and walked to the mirror to comb her messy hair./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"As she stared at her dishevelled appearance in the mirror, her mind drifted again, and she wondered how nice it would be to wake up with him by her side, to walk to school together hand in hand./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"She heaved another sigh as the comb brushed against her hair, tugging and pulling on stray strands./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Maybe one day, someone could brush it for her in her stead./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Sakura stopped dead in her tracks./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Right in front of her, Ayanokouji was holding a letter directed to her, with detailed decorations and aesthetics to boot./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I-i-is this a-a"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""It's a love letter."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Kyuuuu!?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Right on cue, a deep shade of red flooded her cheeks, reducing Sakura to a blubbering mess, a cesspool of embarrassment that somehow lost all mental functions and her ability to think coherently because she's pretty sure that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji had just passed her a love letter with her name on it./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"The thought of him professing his love for Sakura struck her maiden's heart like a nail, and she tried desperately to stop the gleeful smile inevitably forming on her face. But try as she could, the possibility of one of her elaborate fantasies coming to life was too much for her to handle./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Trembling, she made an attempt not to avert her eyes from his gaze, because hadn't she read somewhere online that it was etiquette to look in his eyes when confessing?/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Then she saw a flash of the universe in his eyes and immediately looked away again./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"no way no way no way no way she could do this/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He was doing well to hide it, but the boy in front of her was having the time of his life./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"What he didn't manage to hide was the look of distaste in his eyes when he handed her the letter, and it didn't go unnoticed to Sakura./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"She wondered why./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Too cute. She was way too cute. So this was how she reacted to something like that. Now that he thought about it, Sakura really was easy to read. He was tired of dealing with two-faced people in his life, and she was anything but that. More often than not, the people around him were laced with double meanings and cryptic expressions that were a bother to comprehend. But when Sakura was happy, she showed she was happy, with an angelic smile that nobody could resist and a light giggle to die for. When she was angry, she portrayed her anger with an adorable pout and furrowed brows that (no offence, Sakura) probably wouldn't do her anger any justice./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"And when she got embarrassed, as she did so many times in the past, her soft cheeks would get flushed and tainted with a hint of red, and her eyes would flicker to the side, with long lashes that Ayanokouji swore were tempting his attention without even trying./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"So when Sakura brought her trembling eyes to rest on his gaze, he was so tempted to hug her in his arms and illicit more fascinating reactions from this adorable girl, but he remembered something important that he should probably have told her from the beginning./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""It isn't mine though."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""E..eh?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Someone wanted me to give it to Sakura-san. I was entrusted with it by someone else."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"As he said that, Sakura's shoulders trembled./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Ehh-ahh, it's not Ayanokouji-kun...?"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Mm, I was just asked to deliver it."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""...I see. Of course it's like that. There's no way something like that is possible...b-b-but, what should I do with this!?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""There's nothing to do but read it and give your answer"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Ehh-! Impossible, impossible! I can't do..."./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Have you never been confessed to before?"./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Never!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Sakura answers him promptly. It seemed like she'd be confessed to a number of times given that she's this cute. But in hindsight, maybe that was because the Sakura he was talking to was vastly different from the Sakura that other people saw./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Well, anyways, for the time being you should read it then give the guy your answer."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Since Sakura did not seem to be convinced by that at all, he decided to follow up a bit./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""There's also the possibility that it's from someone you like. Wouldn't that work in your favour then?" he told her./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""That possibility no longer exists..."./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ayanokouji raised an eyebrow, and Sakura realised what she had just blurted out to her dismain./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"As she was busy frantically waving it off, he decided not to pursue the curious matter as the bell rang for the start of school./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Either way, after Sakura thanked him and promptly left for class, Ayanokouji felt a stab of unfounded anger and anxiety in his heart./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Sakura Airi was his and his only./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He would make sure of it./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"With an uncharacteristic aggression, he pushed the girl onto the bed. The mattress creaked softly as it supported the weight of the timid girl./p
