A/N: Takes place during volume 5. Warning, because there is a mention of boobs and arousal. Mostly taken from the manga itself, not my own words. Note that I changed the rating to T just in case.
Subaru knew he couldn't just change Akane. Being almost best friends with her sister gave him the stories. He knew pretty quickly after Hatsumi found out Akane had started sneaking off with guys much older than she was. Of course at that point he hadn't realized he had any feelings for her—they were rarely in the same room alone, and when Akane was around she usually managed to say something derogatory to him.
He wasn't sure when he'd found out she'd had alcohol. He knew before the sort of impromptu party at Ryoki's apartment, but he couldn't remember ever seeing her under the effects of alcohol before. And it bothered him immensely that she could drink and be happy so easily. It didn't help that his sister had been in the room only moments before, watching Akane get smashed.
"Subiee…" Akane planted herself onto the couch next to him, looking into his eyes with her own bleary ones. She hiccupped, as their faces got too close. He moved himself away from her. She held up a can at him, and tilted it towards his lips. "Say ahh…" She giggled, but Subaru kept his mouth shut and tried to move away again. Giving up, she went back to drinking from the can herself. Moments later she tried again.
"Hey, shoobaru…" Akane slurred, moving towards him again. "How come you're always so weird around me?" She asked, although the words weren't as clear. Subaru watched her get uncomfortably close to him, and he tried to ignore the feelings other than a small amount of disgust at the alcohol on her breath that were bottling up inside of him.
"You really don't like me, huh?" She sing-songed, although there was a melancholy lilt to her drunken slurring. Her eyes looked sad as she got really close to him. Subaru was freaking out, to say the least. Why did his sister leave him alone with Akane?
"You don't think I'm pretty?" She asked, and with how close she had gotten Subaru could see the kiss of red tint on her cheeks, flushed from the alcohol. "Or is it my boobs? They aren't big enough for you?"
Subaru choked on his own spit when she slurred that at him, and fidgeted in his seat. He couldn't move any farther off the couch without falling on the floor. Then she caught his hand in hers and moved it towards her chest. Subaru's eyes grew large as she asked him in a small voice: "Too small?" Then she placed his hand on her breast. Instinctively his hand clenched because he was highly uncomfortable with situation—and then he realized what he had just done.
"Oh! S-sorry! I didn't mean—"
"It's okay, squeeze 'em all you want. I don't mind. If you wanna do it, that's fine by—"
"What?" Subaru choked, shoving her away from him. "What are you saying?! Girls shouldn't say stuff like that!" Panicked, he ran off to Ryoki's bathroom, slamming the door. All he could call was "I'm getting a drink of water" before his disappeared.
He collapsed against the bathroom wall, falling to the ground, his head in his hands. He was panicked, certainly, but not about the fact that Hatsumi's little sister had just put his hands on her breasts. He was more freaked out about the fact that his body had…well… reacted so quickly to it. He banged his head against the wall, frustrated. "What am I going to do?!" He berated himself, staring at the door, glad he couldn't see the girl on the other side of it.
