Chapter 31: A drunk Baseball Idiot

Sora was on her way to a nearby konbini with Asou, Seki and the bald Higasa to get some drinks and snacks for the rest of the team waiting in Kuramochi's and Sawamura's room. Or rather, the rest who had decided to come and join them, since obviously the whole Seidou team didn't fit into only one dorm room.

There was a brand new type of iced tea out for sale and Asou had sworn that this was the best drink you could possibly get since it was isotonic, with less sugar and calories and still very tasty. So, since he had been that fired up about it and the vending machine on the Seidou compounds obviously didn't provide the newest creations, his best friend Seki, Higasa and Sora had agreed on accompanying him to the small store. Plus, it was a good opportunity to buy some other stuff they didn't offer at Seidou as well.

"If we're eating that much sweet and salty snacks, the saved calories from the iced tea will completely go to waste!" Asou complained while Seki and Sora were filling the shopping basket with happy smiles on their faces.

"Chill, Asou not everyone of us is holding a diet", the blue haired girl gave back nonchalantly. "It is admirable that you're able to contain yourself so disciplined, but I wouldn't even last half a day!"

The grumpy field player blushed after Sora's compliment and escaped into another corridor to hide his reddened face from his teammates. He packed his own basket with cans of his favorite drink for the whole group waiting at home. But there was something else he wanted to look for, so he came back to the blue head and asked her to take care of it.

Sora and Seki went ahead, paying for the snacks and the drinks and took the shopping bags to wait outside since Higasa and Asou were leafing through some sports magazines. The young girl was holding the iced tea, while her cheery teammate was carrying the food, until they stepped out of the konbini and Sora got violently bowled over by a young man who seemed to be utterly stressed out and in a huge hurry.

As they both fell, they let their shopping bags fall to the ground as well. While the blue haired girl landed on her butt, the pale young man plopped straight on his face right in front of the two young High Schoolers. When he realized what he had done, he jumped to his feet hastily, grabbing his bag and bowing multiple times very, very deeply while apologizing frantically like he had committed a major crime. However, as Seki helped the blue head up on her feet, the weird guy already ran off again.

"Na! What a strange dude! Na, Sora? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Thanks, Seki"

Sora dusted off her clothes and picked up her own shopping bags with the canned iced tea when Asou and Higasa came running through the sliding doors with worry written all over their faces.

"Oi, everything okay here?!"

"We saw someone crashing into Sora through the window"

"No worries, guys, I'm good. No injuries", the young girl reassured her teammates and they both exhaled audibly.

"Na! Our Sora is a tough one, na"

"Hell, don't worry us like that, moron!" Asou grumbled.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry, but that this strange guy completely steamrolled me was certainly not my fault, ya know", Sora shot back displeased. "More importantly, you guys… Do you want to go back in or do you have everything you wanted?"

"We bought some magazines and also some notebooks for school, so we've got everything", Higasa said holding up another shopping bag with Asou nodding along and putting his hands into his pockets.

"Let's go back!"

On the way back to Seidou, the boys were discussing their weight training and different kinds of muscle groups and schedules and Sora told them about her own focus on strengthening her core and Miyauchi and Tanba helping her with it.

Back on the school compounds, the four teenagers were heading towards room number five, Asou and Seki walking in the front and Higasa and Sora following behind. The bald guy was so curious about all the fuss Asou had made that he suggested taking the first drink and since Sora was a little gossip at heart herself, she somehow went along with it, so the two of them stopped, rummaged in the shopping bag and took out two cans. Without having a closer look on the outside of their drinks, they opened them and downed them with a toast.

"Kanpai!" they chorused before gulping down the whole content of their cans in one go.

Unfortunately, it was not the sweet and sugary taste of iced tea that Sora had expected, so she started coughing uncontrollably right after.

"Eeeww! Asou, you really like that stuff?!" she questioned. "That's gross! It burns on my tongue and all the way down the throat and my stomach feels funny and hot now. What the hell is with that iced tea, huh?! Is that s'posed to be spicy or somethin'?"

"Huh?! Oi, you traitors, no stealing drinks in advance!" Asou yelled, followed by his smaller best friend. "And what'cha mean gross?!"

But Sora didn't have an opportunity to answer, since Higasa collapsed onto the other two rather comically, his face all red and hot, steam coming out of his ears and his eyes spinning round and round.

"Shuuuu…" he breathed and was totally out of it.

"Oi, get off of me, idiot!"

"Na! Sora, can you let me see the can, na?" Seki asked and the blue haired girl nodded in confusion.

"Sure, catch"

She threw it and Seki caught it, having an investigative look at it.

"N-Na… That's not our iced tea! It's alcohol, na!"

"EHHH?!"

He also looked into the shopping bag, but instead of iced tea cans there were only cans with alcoholics in it. Asou, Seki and Sora blanched and broke out into cold sweat.

"N-N-Na! That weird guy must've accidentally swapped his shopping bag with ours after he had bowled over Sora… na"

"Y-Yeah guys, but that means…" the young girl began and gulped. "That we not only walked around with various kinds of alcoholics in public and as minors, but also that we brought illegal substances on the compounds of Seidou High School and what's even worse, into the dorm area! You know what I'm getting at, right? And on the very top of it, Higasa and I even consumed that stuff!"

"Coach is so gonna kill us!" Asou panicked. "What should we do now?!"

"I don't know and Higasa's out like a light! Maybe it will have the same effect on me if I'm not careful, I mean at the moment only my stomach feels funny, but maybe it takes a little longer for my body to process it or something?! I seriously don't wanna collapse out here too!"

"Na, there's no helping it, we have to report it", Seki stated seriously. "If something bad happens to Higasa or Sora, it would be our fault for trying to hide it. Besides, we can't throw so many cans away on a school compound without attracting attention and we can't hide them in someone's dorm room either. Rationally speaking every attempt of covering it up would only make things even worse and we didn't do anything wrong or on purpose, so… n-na…?!"

"Are you fucking kidding me? I really want to live, ya know!" Asou shouted, still fidgeting around nervously.

"I'd agree with you Seki, if I wouldn't be so completely and utterly terrified of coach Kataoka…" Sora whined. "I mean, I could also try calling Eijun over. He's a little dork, but very helpful and he can keep secrets for himself… Maybe he could take the shopping bag and throw it away somewhere out of the Seidou compounds…?"

"Ohhh, nice, Sora. Yeah, sounds good to me!" the taller male praised, but Seki just crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head strictly.

"Na, the others are all waiting for us, it will definitely draw attention if Sawamura gets a call and runs out of the room where everyone else is gathered and it also won't go unnoticed that we never come back from the konbini. We have no other choice but to report it and we also have to take Higasa to the infirmary, na!"

"He's right", Sora wailed and Asou ruffled his hair, screaming curses and other profanities. "Ah, but you know what, guys, let's go to Takashima-sensei first and she can report it to coach. How does that sound?!"

Five minutes later the whole bunch of teenagers was standing in front of the female scout, bowing heads as deeply as possible and Asou and Seki shouldering a still unconscious Higasa, while Sora handed over the shopping bag with the alcoholic drinks. The brunette woman sighed, pushing up her glasses with one finger as always.

"Well, it wasn't your fault and you did the right thing coming straight to me", she said and showed rather concern than anger. "Lay Higasa down on the sofa, I will call a doctor over. Aoki-kun, how are you feeling?"

"Alright up until now. Only my stomach didn't take it all too well, it burned right after drinking"

Asou and Seki carried the tall, bald guy over to the sofa standing in Takashima's office and put him down carefully.

"I understand. You may go back to your rooms now. I will take care of things here", Takashima dismissed them with a nod of her head. "And Aoki-kun, you better go and lie down now as well. Maybe it would be for the best if Sawamura-kun could stay with you. Just in case you start feeling sick"

"Yes, ma'am. Good night!" the teammates chorused and hurried out of her office as quickly as possible.

"You guys go back to room five?" the blue haired girl asked, starting to feel a little weird.

It was kinda lightheaded, as if walking on clouds or something like that. In her head it began to get dizzy, but not really in a bad way. Sora wasn't feeling sick, she was actually feeling quite good. And funny.

"Yeah, but first we have to stop by at the vending machine since we still have no drinks", Asou gave back grumpy as always.

"Na, good thing we have the snacks and the other stuff, na", Seki added making Sora want to giggle.

That Na-Na thingy was so cute. And comical.

"Can you send Eijun over to me then? I'll leave it to you what you tell the others. I mean, you'll have to explain my and Higasa's absence anyway and also why you didn't bring the iced tea, so that again leaves not much of a choice either…"

"Ugh, what a pain in the ass!" Asou complained. "But you're right, I guess we'll just tell them the whole story after we sent the moron over to you"

"Na, but it's gonna be a funny story to laugh at, na Sora? And you better do as you've been told and go to bed before it gets worse. We'll take care of getting Sawamura to you"

"Yeah, thank you guys and sorry for the trouble", the young girl apologized to her team members. "Have a good night and see ya tomorrow. Hope I won't have a hangover just because of one single drink…"

The other two (uh… three?!) boys laughed at that and waved her goodbye, but as she turned and walked away, she honestly wondered since when there had been two Sekis. Did the dude have a secret twin?! They really did look exactly the same, amazing!

Arriving at the entrance door of her dorm room, Sora tried with all her concentration to get the key into the keyhole, but she could've sworn that thing was dodging! On purpose! Only to annoy her. How mean! How should she get into her room like that?! This wasn't fair! The blue haired girl stomped her foot defiantly like a little child and tried a few more times until also her whole keyhole plate was developing a twin and she didn't know which of them was the correct one to her room anymore. That was so confusing, no kidding! Since when could doors do something like that, huh?! Crazy world!

Sora crouched down beside her door, leaning against the wall with a pout. That stupid keyhole should better brace itself! Sawamura would come and he would definitely let Sora into her room! Ha! Meanwhile the whole world around the blue haired girl had begun spinning, so she closed her eyes. It was all getting so confusing! And strangely enough she had the urge to giggle all the time. She certainly wouldn't have thought that being tipsy would be so funny.

Soon enough she could hear footsteps coming closer and the young girl smirked to herself with still closed eyes.

"What are you doing there Sora, Gee?!"

"Eijuuuuun!"

The blue head jumped to her feet and also jumped at the male figure standing in front of her, flinging her arms around his neck. She got caught and hugged tightly, but somehow this felt different… Not what she had expected, or was it? A refreshing scent of a mixture of green apples and peppermint flooded her senses and Sora furrowed her brows, wanting to step back but not being able to due to two strong arms holding her in place.

"Ya ain't Eijun!"

"And you are slurring your speech", she could hear the teasing voice clearer now.

"Kazuuu, is dat chu? Why? Where's my Eijun?!"

"Your Eijun is in room five where he belongs!" Miyuki gave back a little harsher than intended. "When Asou and Seki got back without you and Higasa and when they told Sawamura to go to your room, I went instead and told him to stay because I knew something weird was up again! Seriously, I can't let you out of my sight for two minutes without something happening to you!"

"Nooo! No fair, no! Not my fault!" Sora sobbed. "Sensei said Eijun should come and stay with me. He won't scold me. I want my Eijun! Kazu's being mean!"

"HUH?!"

Finally the brunette catcher let go of his blue haired teammate, only to see the young girl staggering a bit when taking a few steps away from him. Sora's cerulean eyes were big, round and teary, her cheeks were reddened and puffed out childishly and her pouting lips were quivering slightly. She was sulking at him in the most adorable way possible with enlarged azure blue puppy eyes! Miyuki's jaw dropped. He just couldn't prevent it, although it was very out of character for him. And hell, he also knew that!

"I-I'm not scolding you, Sora!"

Since when was the blue head so sensitive and defiant?!

"You are!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"C'mon now, you really like Sawamura better than me?"

"…Hm…"

Sora tilted her head as if thinking.

"Not always…"

"Why thanks, how reassuring", her captain deadpanned.

"Welcome"

Miyuki sighed and ran his fingers through his brunette hair. What exactly was up with his pitcher?!

"And Rei-chan said that Sawamura should come over and stay with you?"

The blue haired girl nodded, crossing her arms over her chest stubbornly.

"And why exactly are you waiting for him outside of your room? It's cold, Sora. You could get sick. You don't wanna get a fever again, right?!"

"The stupid door won't let me in!" she gave back sullenly, turned around and kicked her door with her foot.

"…Uhm… What?!"

The door won't… What in the ever-loving hell?!

The young captain was completely confused by now, but oh well, whatever. First things first, he took out his own key to Sora's room and unlocked the door.

"Well, I guess at least for this problem I have a solution…"

"Ah! Righty, righty", Sora cheered with excitement in her voice. "Almost forgot, my husbando already has a key to my apartment"

"W-What the fuck?! Sora! Honestly… W-What is up with you?" Miyuki pressed through his teeth. "Are you feeling alright? Did you hit your head?!"

"Yay!" she just cried out happily when the door was finally open and the two teenagers entered her room. "Thank you, Kazu"

Sora started giggling uncontrollably. She was being totally silly, but she felt nice and it was fun.

"Uh-huh…"

Miyuki watched the blue head get out of her jacket and shoes, a little uneasy on her feet and then plopping down on her bed right away, stretching her arms above her head, causing her shirt to slip up, revealing her stomach. He froze as his caramel eyes locked with a pair of blue ones and he recognized the mischievous sparkle in them.

"I'm tip-sey Kazuuu"

"COME AGAIN?!"

"I drank", she re-affirmed.

The smirk on Sora's face grew wider as she saw her catcher tensing up, the beautiful eyes wide with disbelief. He really didn't know how to react. This might've been the first time ever in his life that Miyuki Kazuya had no words. His mind was blank and he stared at the tipsy, mischievous Sora lying on her back on her bed, arms crossed behind her head and her shirt slightly out of place, challenging him with her azure blue gaze. Wow!

And suddenly the whole situation came crashing down on him. He was alone in a dorm room with a drunk Sora in a playful mood… Congrats for the worst timing ever… How did he always end up in situations like that?!

"So, you wanna tell me that you drank alcohol when you were out with Seki, Asou and Higasa?!" he simply asked to regain his composure and took a seat oh so very nonchalantly on Sora's desk chair.

Her eyes, sticking to him the whole time, observing his every move, followed Miyuki through the room until he sat down and never lost their amused glint.

"Nah, not on purpose, ya know. Wouldn't do that. And it was gross too. Don't understand why adults drink that voluntarily… Tastes terrible. And it burns! Really, like it's spicy!" she drawled lazily.

Wait, was her tongue somehow starting to feel heavy?! Was that even possible?

Sora told the young captain the whole story a little clumsily, but in the end, he was able to piece everything together. He suppressed another sigh, wouldn't be of any help anyway. The blue head would sure as hell be his death one day!

"I'm just wondering why Rei-chan insisted on Sawamura staying with you", Miyuki mused thoughtfully. "I mean, also one of the other guys who went out with you could've accompanied you to your room. It would've been safer than letting you wait for someone else all alone"

"Remember Takashima-sensei and Eijun both know my secret", the blue haired girl reminded him with a yawn. "And besides…"

"Hm?"

"The possibility of me jumping Eijun even in my current state of mind is basically zero"

"Eh?!"

"Sorry, but no promises for you, captain"

"…"

"You sure you wanna stay? Maybe you should rather go…?"

Sora's blue eyes flashed impishly watching Miyuki process her words carefully. She was just teasing him and really enjoying his reactions since she had caught him off guard with being drunk and now also with being so bold. Usually the young girl would avoid their little banter going that way down, but some of the rumors about alcohol appeared to be true. It loosened the tongue and it made her feel carefree and lighthearted even right now. Without her tipsiness she would've felt more than embarrassed threatening to jump her captain of all people.

The moment Miyuki made up his mind and regained his usual outer calmness was clearly visible for the blue head. His caramel eyes lit up and something dangerous crept up his already well-known signature smirk. Sora knew immediately that she had screwed up. She remembered their little phone call exchange a tad too late… Her catcher certainly wasn't taking this as friendly banter anymore… right?!

How could she have forgotten?! Oh well, curse every single drop of alcohol existing in this world! She would never ever drink again in her whole goddamn life!

Meanwhile the brunette captain stood from Sora's chair provokingly slow and smirked down on her still lolling on her bed pretending to be completely oblivious.

"Heh… I thought I had already told you…", he purred, coming a little closer. "That you just have to say something if you want me in your bed so badly, Sora"

The blue haired girl held her breath, eyes wide as her catcher sat down on the edge of her bed. He was so close…

"Maybe I just don't know what I really want myself anymore…" she mumbled quietly, almost only to herself and for the first time since getting tipsy she sounded relatively serious.

Miyuki's grin was that of a little devil.

"Then we have to find out", he sang sweetly. "Can't have my pitcher being lost now, can I?!"

"…Find out…?"

Sora gave the brunette captain a puzzled glance. She knew from his tone of voice that he was still teasing her, but that was kind of a weird thing to say. How would he be able to help her find out… Oh!

"K-Kaz, what are you-…?!" the young girl almost squealed out when Miyuki suddenly started to take off his shirt.

"Mh? Oh, I just don't usually sleep in my clothes", he snickered. "Do you, Sora?"

"Ah… Uhm, well, if it's comfy clothes like sweatpants and stuff like I'm wearing right now, sometimes I don't go to the trouble wearing PJs instead, so… yeah…" she completely trailed off staring at Miyuki's well-built body. "I-I tend to get cold rather quickly in winter…"

"That's good to know", he gave back a bit too matter-of-factly. "So, I have to make sure to keep you warm"

"Eh?!"

Slowly but surely this conversation was developing into a direction that let a certain panic boil up in Sora's whole physical system. Her heart was racing and her already from the alcohol spinning head was getting even more fuzzy. She intended to sit up straight and scoot away from the still maliciously grinning catcher, but was suddenly pinned down and held in place.

"And where exactly do you think you're going, hm?!"

Sora's heart jumped heavily in her chest. Miyuki was so damn close hovering over her now. And his voice was so sickeningly sweet. Everything inside of her screamed danger, but still… It didn't feel uncomfortable. Was that also the alcohol or just the Miyuki Kazuya-factor?

"I've warned you plenty! If you like to play with fire that much, you're gonna get burned!"

"Oh please, captain. I was just teasing you like always, you know that, right?!" the blue haired girl tried to de-escalate her current situation at least a little bit. "And I wouldn't have taken you for a guy to exploit my drunk condition"

The young captain let out an amused chuckle. He was enjoying himself alright, he had to admit.

"Nah, c'mon if you're sober enough to get sassy with me, I can as well teach you a lil' lesson"

Miyuki readjusted his grip around his blue haired teammate, pulling her closer to him and holding her tightly, but gently. Sora struggled a bit in his unwavering embrace, but to no avail. She couldn't get away any further from him as he was allowing her to. The young girl snorted sarcastically.

"So, this is considered punishment now?!"

But to her surprise and bewilderment, the brunette genius catcher started laughing.

"Oh, Sora! You seriously are cute and innocent sometimes. I couldn't believe it when you told us, but this… no, honestly!" he kept snickering on. "There is a huge difference between punishment and a little lesson, you know. But I guess I'll show you what I mean some other time…"

Sora glared, but couldn't hold back a furious blush anymore. Hearing something like that while being pressed to Miyuki's naked chest was more than she could handle at the moment. The whole fun and her silliness from being tipsy had successfully vanished for good.

"I think I'll pass on that!"

"Hahaha, ow!"

As her catcher reached out to brush some blue strands from Sora's forehead, his facial expression softened and his fingertips grazed her skin gently. The look he gave her out of his intense caramel eyes let the young girl gasp for air. What the hell was happening? What did he do to her?! This was truly bad for her heart!

"Kazuya…"

Miyuki hummed in satisfaction. This time his thumb was tracing her lips.

"You know what you're doing to me calling me like that now, no?"

"Huh, wha-…? No, wai-…mmpf!"

He kissed her! The genius-baseball-prodigy-pretty-boy-catcher Miyuki Kazuya kissed her while thinking she was a boy! And he tasted like heaven! Sora froze, her body tensed up. She couldn't prevent it. This was just so unreal. First Kuramochi, now also Miyuki of all people. She couldn't understand it, wasn't able to process the development in their relationships to have suddenly reached this kind of level without her even recognizing! What had she said or done to make it end up this way?! Had it been wrong to tell them the lie about being gay after all?! Did they only do that to her because of this?

Sora had been pretty sure that with Kuramochi it only had been the situation. She had been dressed as a girl that day and the young girl had assumed that he had been confused and had acted upon a fleeting emotional outburst. Then what about Miyuki now? Because she was drunk?! Because of the call during new year's vacation? Or because he was being a tease more than ever?! She was so confused, so very, very confused…

Miyuki parted from her, let her breathe and calm down for just a second before he closed the gap between them once again and repeated his actions. He pulled her up with him in a sitting position and placed Sora between his legs, so that he didn't have to release the hug. The brunette was still holding her close, running one hand up and down her back as if to give her some peace of mind, but he didn't back off.

Sora was holding onto his shoulders, not able to have only one single clear thought. She didn't move and she didn't even think of touching her captain in any other way. The young girl could only let him have his way with her and that's also exactly what the crafty catcher did, kissing her again and again until she opened up for him a little bit and he could finally deepen their kiss even further.

When he parted from her this time, Sora was out of breath and panted for air, but Miyuki didn't seem to be all that troubled, placing kisses on her neck instead. Tracing down the line beginning below her ear, he made her shudder and the blue haired girl felt her face heating up significantly. Subconsciously she let out a small whimper, causing her brown haired captain to snap his head back up, locking eyes with her.

The now brightly golden, enlarged eyes were already clouded with something Sora couldn't even have imagined in her dreams and the smirk the catcher gave her was that of a cat hunting for prey.

"Heh, so I can actually make you look like that… interesting", he drawled with his dark and tempting voice that was now much deeper than usual. "Make that sound again for me, Sora"

He resumed nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck again and she flinched slightly, feeling his brunette hair tickle her skin. Miyuki continued caressing her with one hand, while the other arm still hugged her and pressed her against his muscular body. First it was her back, then her arms, her neck, her shoulders… Did that guy have more than only two hands?! Sora didn't even realize how the hell he could touch her on so many different parts of her body!

The blue haired girl could literally feel Miyuki's triumphant grin against her heated skin. That little…! And then… Holy hell, did he just bite her?! Yeah, no doubt, she could feel his teeth slightly grazing her and also… She shivered again. H-His tongue? Really now? He was biting and licking her neck now?! Sora squirmed in his arms. This felt so weird! What did that little jerk think he was doing to her?!

"Kazuya! Hey!" she protested, shifting her hands for the first time from his shoulders to her captain's chest to give him a push, but he didn't budge. Not even a millimeter.

Instead, he relished nibbling Sora's creamy white and very tasty skin. When he started sucking on it, the blue head gave him a second push, Miyuki chuckled about.

"Kaz I swear if you're giving me a hickey there I'm gonna kill you!"

"Mh, rather continue touching me. Your hands feel good on me", he replied, slowly dragging his words with pleasure and this sinful smirk of his.

As if to emphasize his words, the young catcher took one of Sora's hands still pushing against his chest and directed it down to his stomach, along the hem of his sweatpants and then to the side and up again to his waist where he let go, encouraging her to go on by herself. But the blue haired girl was so extremely flustered, that she just stared at her hand in a daze, which was broken when Miyuki suddenly decided to kiss her again.

Feeling his tongue wrapping around hers, her whole body began heating up. Her skin prickled ecstatically and butterflies were not only fluttering in her stomach, but also in her chest and in her head. Without a real plan in mind, because her so called mind had already quit the service by now, the young girl started moving her hands on Miyuki's torso. She drew lines and invisible little circles and other more complicated patterns with her fingers on his smooth skin and followed the contours of his well-defined muscle parts. Stomach, chest, shoulders, arms and back, earning a pleased sigh and more hungry kisses from the brunette. Until she remembered his weak point near his neck she had once discovered during their recovery massages. Squeezing him there resulted in the sigh turning into a moan and Miyuki biting her lip softly.

"Again", he said, resting his forehead against Sora's.

The blue head complied hesitantly and her captain hissed and rewarded her with another kiss. However, when he also began sneaking his hands under her shirt, touching her bare stomach and her back, using the space between the lower edge of her bandages and the hemline of her pants, something in her mind snapped and Sora started to panic. If this was going to keep up, Miyuki would definitely discover her secret! She was so fucking stupid! What had she been thinking?! No, she hadn't been thinking at all! She shouldn't have even let him start anything of this!

Having the reality crashing down on her so heavily, Sora jolted and broke the kiss rather abruptly, gazing at a puzzled Miyuki with shock in her cerulean eyes. The sly catcher noticed her change of mind immediately and let her go, giving the blue head some space and air. Her breathing and her heartbeat were way too fast and this time it wasn't very pleasant.

"K-Kazuya…! I'm-…"

"So, this is as far as we go today, huh… Interesting", Miyuki interrupted her before she could say or explain anything. "You've put up with me rather well for the first time, ya know. I got more than I expected… Ah, not that I'm complaining. On the contrary, you're doing great. I guess you're a fast learner no matter what you do"

Sora gaped.

"E-Eh…?!"

But Miyuki only started laughing, got up from her bed and walked over to turn off the light.

"Hell, Sora don't look at me like that. It's not like I'm gonna go further than you let me, so relax, okay", the young catcher reassured her pushing the light switch. "Get under the blanket before you freeze to death, will ya. And I know I'm hot and I did stuff to you, but you really have to stop staring at me or else I might change my mind!"

With a growing perplexity, Sora obeyed and slipped under her blanket, lying down comfortably. Miyuki joined her soon enough, putting one arm around her and she nestled up to him, to hide her fiery red face in his chest. She could feel the rumbling as he chuckled and pulled her a bit closer.

"No need to be so embarrassed"

"Oh, shut it!"

"Hahaha, ow my abs"

"You know you have an unhealthy obsession with your abs, captain"

"It's still Kazuya"

"You also have an unhealthy obsession with your first name"

"Let's just say I have an obsession with you"

"You better not"

"Too late. I even marked you as mine"

"I'm not yours!"

"I beg to differ"

"I so don't care-… Wait what do you mean marked?!"

"…"

"MIYUKI KAZUYA I'M GONNA FUCKING MURDER YOU!"
