"Ah~…" Tadano yawned and stretched as he woke up. The morning sun burst into the room as Hitomi swung open the curtains.
"So, how are your injuries now, brother?"
"Oh… They feel a lot less worse now. I slept alright."
"That's good to hear, then. Anyway, Mom prepared breakfast, so just head over when you're done freshening up."
"Alright."
Tadano stretched one more time, then went to pick up his phone, which suddenly rang in his hands.
It was a text from Komi.
Komi: Good morning Hito. Did you sleep well? Sorry if I woke you up by accident.
Tadano: Good morning Shouko. No worries, I was already awake and yes, I slept decently well.
Komi: Do your injuries still hurt?
Tadano: Not much. They ache a little bit every now and then, but I feel fine.
Komi: I'm glad you're alright then.
Tadano smiled, as he got out of bed and went to brush his teeth.
When he came back to pick up his phone, he saw another text from Komi.
Komi: Since we have the week off, maybe we could have a sleepover at my place again?
Tadano: Sounds great!
Komi: Perhaps tomorrow? Or today if you're feeling alright.
Tadano: Maybe tomorrow? We could do a date and sleepover combined into one.
Komi: That sounds amazing. I'd love to spend a whole day with you.
Tadano: Me too. I have to go eat breakfast now, so talk to you later!
Komi: Talk to you later!
Tadano blushed. Spending a whole day with his girlfriend sounded like absolute heaven to him. He couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive.
"Brother, you've got a funny look…" Hitomi glanced over at her brother who had just entered the kitchen. He was smiling from ear to ear seemingly.
"Hm? Oh…"
"Is it party A?" Hitomi didn't even let Tadano explain himself before jumping right to her conclusion.
"Well, you've read me like a book, haven't you?" Tadano sighed.
"So, what did she talk to you about?" Hitomi interlocked her fingers and placed her chin on her hands.
"We were discussing our plans for the week."
"So… Are you guys going on a date or something?"
"Yeah, we are."
"Ooo~"
"She also suggested that she and I have a sleepover too. At her place."
Hitomi's eyes widened, seemingly with enthusiasm. Tadano wasn't sure he liked that look.
"So are you two going to…?" She had barely lifted her hands when Tadano started flailing his arms around.
"W… What d-do you mean…?" He stammered. He very well knew what she was going to bring up, and desperately wanted to avoid the humiliation of hearing it.
She didn't respond, and Tadano slowly lowered his arms.
Huh? He thought, confused.
Then Hitomi swiftly lifted her index finger horizontally and formed a ring with her other hand.
"STOPPPP!" Tadano yelled, blood rushing to his face from embarrassment. Hitomi couldn't help but fall backwards onto the chair from laughter.
"So…?" Hitomi regained composure and returned to her original position.
"Huh? What do you mean by…?"
"So are you two going to do it or…?"
"Do… what again?"
"Don't fake ignorance, brother." Hitomi giggled slightly as he continued staring right into her brother's flustered eyes.
"No, seriously, like… I…"
"Fine. So are you two going to make out in 18+ fashion?" Hitomi gave in and cut right to her point.
"N-No! Of course not…! We…"
"You two are turning 18 soon, right?"
"Yeah… But what does it have to do with…?"
"Well, technically you two could do it legally…"
"We don't… want to…"
"Yet."
Tadano looked at his sister.
"You sound like you want us to do it as soon as humanly possible."
"Why not? I'd love to be an aunt to your child. Plus, I don't have any love interests in school right now. Still have yet to find my match I guess." Hitomi kept her eyes focused on her brother.
The guts this girl has.
"Maybe we'll do it… someday. But we don't want to rush into it. We're still in our school years after all. Plus, I don't think she feels comfortable doing it…"
"It's alright, I'm just teasing you." Hitomi returned to her breakfast, leaving Tadano standing there blushing to himself.
He had imagined him being intimate with her and it made him flustered.
Komi squeezed her cat pillow right against her chest. She was going to spend a full day with Tadano tomorrow! The thought of it made her excited and also a little flustered.
A whole day and night…
She blushed. The amount of fun they might have…
Bzzt!
Her phone rang, and she went to pick it up. It was a text from Najimi.
Najimi: Hey Komi-san! We're planning to have a little dinner party at your house tomorrow on Labor Thanksgiving. So be ready by 6pm!
?
Komi was taken aback. Najimi had not brought up anything about a party celebration at her place beforehand.
Also, is it actually…?
She quickly sprinted to her desk and grabbed her calendar. When checking today's date, (She crosses out every day that has passed) she realised that today was November 22nd.
!
Time flies sometimes, doesn't it?
Should I get some gifts for everyone? I should tell my mom about this first though…
"Oh, so your friends are coming over tomorrow?" Shuuko asked her daughter.
Shouko nodded, her figurative cat ears popping up with a pomph!
"Ah, alright then. I'll make sure to prepare an amazing dinner for everyone! For now, breakfast is ready, so you can go ahead and have a bite first."
Komi grabbed her plate of breakfast and sat down to eat.
"Also, Shouko, is Tadano-kun coming over for a sleepover tomorrow?"
Shouko immediately perked up in surprise.
How did you know?
"Ah, I assume yes? Your looks tell me a lot, you know?"
Shouko blushed, staring at her plate.
"Hah~ So… are you two going to…?"
Shouko looked at her mom, slightly confused.
"What's with that look, Shouko?"
Shouko tilted her head slightly, wondering what her mom was talking about.
"Ah, you didn't catch my drift there, huh?" She chuckled a little, before returning to wash the dishes.
"So, will I be a grandmother soon?"
?!
Komi virtually jumped out of her chair, before burying her face in her palms out of embarrassment.
She was just thinking about it as well.
Shuuko laughed as she watched her daughter.
"I'm only joking, don't worry about it too much." She gave her daughter a reassuring smile, before she walked out of the kitchen.
Shouko felt her heart racing, her face warm from embarrassment, and also from a tinge of lust. Ever since she brought up a sleepover in her texts, she had been thinking of doing 'it' with her boyfriend.
Maybe not so soon. He might think that…
She was interrupted by her phone buzzing again. Another text from Najimi.
Najimi: Change of timing. We'll be there by 5:45!
Oh. I have less time to spend alone with Hito…
She blushed again.
What's wrong with me? Why am I… suddenly… craving for him?
She could not focus on her breakfast that morning.
