Anticipation
Chapter Four: Knock First
Yūki POV
I continued to push Zenji out of Megumi's room. When I turned back to look toward her room, the door was already shut. Go get him, Megumi!
We make it to Zenji's room on the second floor, yelling at the boys the whole way there. We all sit and Ryōko pulls out some of her rice juice. We all dive in. And then once again, the boys start fighting.
"Guys, come on! Don't break anything!" Zenji shouts, pushing between Shōji and Daigo.
I roll my eyes. Who knows what they're arguing about now. I take a seat in Megumi's usual corner. I hope she's doing alright.
"She's fine," Satoshi says, taking a seat next to me. "Soma is gonna treat her right." His smile is genuine but sly.
"Did you find out anything?" I whisper.
"Oh yeah. He definitely likes her." He chuckles. "It seems he's had some dreams of his own."
"No way! Did he tell you what they were about?"
"Megumi obviously. I caught him this morning moaning her name with a huge boner. That's why he was so out of it at breakfast."
"Yes! Our plan is working! I'm so excited. Our little Megumi is gonna have her first boyfriend!" I clap happily.
Satoshi's eyes widen. "Do you think she's ever done anything before? Soma is definitely no newbie to sex. He has experience."
"Oh, Megumi isn't a total prude. I know she's definitely shared some kisses before." I laugh, "She once told me about a game of spin the bottle from back home. She is so adorable. But other than that..."
"Total virgin," we say at the same time, our eyes downcast.
"Hey!" Zenji yells, interrupting our conversation. I look up to see Ryōko and Shun making out on Zenji's bed. "Don't do that on my bed! Go back to your own room!"
They separate, Ryōko having the decency to blush, while Shun just shrugged and apologized. It looks like Shōji and Daigo finally calmed down. They were in front of the window flipping through some book. Give it to Zenji to calm them down with a book. Just then, the boys stand up in excitement.
"Hey guys check this out!" Shōji shouted. The book in his hand was a Tōtsuki yearbook, 69th generation. He opens the book up to us all. On the left page there was a photo of two guys in the fields of Polar Star. They looked happy, the one with burgundy hair bumping the other on the shoulder.
"Is that..." Ryōko started.
"It is," Zenji replied, adjusting his glasses.
"Soma's dad and Chef Dōjima!" We all said in unison.
"Where's Soma? He's gotta see this!" Shōji shouts, running toward his room. The others all follow.
"Should we stop them?" I whisper to Satoshi.
"Nah," he says, smiling. "Let's see how this goes."
Man, Satoshi sure could be evil at times.
We make it up to the third floor. Shōji bursts through Soma's bedroom door.
"Oh..." The room was empty. "Maybe he's still in Megumi's room?"
They file out and go next door to Megumi's room. Again, there is no knock. Daigo just bursts through the door. "Hey Soma you gotta see th-" He cut himself off once he saw the scene before him. On Megumi's bed was Megumi... with Soma on top of her. He had her wrists pressed down into the bed. They were in the middle of what looked to be one heated make out session. And it looked like it was about to go further than just kissing if we hadn't walk in on them. The six of us just stood there staring at them on the bed. Even though it seemed like it was forever, everything that happened next happened fast. Soma and Megumi quickly separated themselves. Soma was giving us all a death glare. Megumi's face was bright red. I wasn't sure if it was from embarrassment of us walking in on them or from the sexy time she was having with Soma. No one seemed to know what to do. Surprisingly, Megumi was the one that spoke up first.
"W-w-wh-what'd you guys need?" She hesitantly squeaked out.
"Uh..." For once Shōji was speechless.
"W-we," Daigo too.
"Look what we found!" I chime in, helping ease the situation. I'm sorry, Megumi. I hop on her bed between her and Soma, opening the yearbook. "It's your dad, Soma!" They both lean in to look at the book. They catch each other's eyes for a brief second and they both blush.
"Oh wow. It is. And Chef Dōjima," Megumi chirped.
"He's so handsome," Ryōko said. I swoon into Megumi. She giggles. I don't miss the little smile that briefly graces Soma's face at Megumi's laugh. He really is smitten with her. That warms my heart.
Soma grabs the yearbook from my hands. He smiles at the photo. "Where'd you find this?"
"Zenji had it," Daigo said.
"I was doing some research in the library and stumbled across it the other night. I hadn't really got a chance to look through it all. And then Shōji found that photo." Zenji explained.
"Pretty cool, right?" Daigo chimed in. The atmosphere still a little shocked and awkward.
Soma just smiled. "Yeah, it is. Thanks for showing me." There was a slight annoyance to his voice as he said that. I could see he was gripping the book a little too fiercely. He was definitely upset that we had interrupted him and Megumi. "Well guys, I think I'm gonna hit the hay. It's been a long day." He said suddenly. He gets up from Megumi's bed. She looks up at him. He just scratches the back of his neck and heads for the door, pushing the yearbook in Shōji's chest as he passed. "I'll see you guys in the morning." He left with his head down.
I look over to Megumi. She seemed surprised, her eyes wide. She was touching her lips. They were still a bit swollen. I grab her hand to comfort her. She turns to me. A tear forming in her eye.
"OK!" I shout, standing from the bed. "Everyone out! Megumi wants to sleep." I shoo everyone out.
"Yeah, I bet she's tired. From what Soma did to her," Daigo whispers to Shōji. I growl at him and he runs away from my intense stare.
After everyone has gone except for me and Satoshi, I made my way back over to Megumi. She finally lets the tears fall freely. She pulls her knees up to herself and cries. I try my best to comfort her. "Megumi, what's wrong?"
"I'm so embarassed! And why'd he leave like that? This is all too much." She wipes away some tears from her eyes. "Is he mad at me?"
"No!" I say.
"Of course not," Satoshi said. "He's mad at all of us for barging in on you guys. You know Soma isn't really good at expressing how he really feels. He's just stewing right now."
That seemed to make Megumi feel better. She perks up a bit.
"Sooo..." I nudge her. "You and Soma were making out!"
"Ah!" She covers her eyes and shakes her head. "I know. I still can't believe it."
"Looks like he was ready to go for more," Satoshi winked, taking a spot on the bed.
Megumi was shocked. "Eep! Wh-what?"
"Totally!" I agree.
"H-how do you guys know that?"
Poor Megumi.
"He was about to move his knee when we walked in," Satoshi said.
"His knee?" Megumi was still so confused. It was adorable.
Satoshi was actually blushing. So I continued for him. "He was moving his knee up to your nether region to try and pleasure you that way," I whisper in her ear. She balks. She is in complete shock.
"What?" She whispers to herself.
Megumi POV
"He was moving his knee up to you nether regions to try and pleasure you that way," Yūki whispers in my ear. I blush harder than Satoshi now. What?
Soma was trying to... pleasure me?! That's crazy! I touch my lips again. I still can't even believe the kissing happened and now I hear he wanted to go further. And the worse part was that everyone else in Polar Star saw and clearly knew what Soma was up to. Gah! I shake my head fiercely.
"What's wrong, Megumi?" Yūki asks.
"Huh!" I almost forgot they were still here. "Oh, I just... don't believe it. What am I gonna do?" I was completely at a lost.
"I'd say just try to sleep right now. It's already past midnight. Soma will come and apologize in the morning," Satoshi said.
"O-okay," I nod. Yūki hugs me and then her and Satoshi head out the door.
I turn on my side to try and lay down for sleep. My head was spinning with all of the happenings the last few hours. I'm not sure if I can handle all of this right now, on my own. And then there was a small knock at my door.
