"Yeah, I think you're coming with me after all. As for my brothers, they won't care..."
"You're coming home late at night with a girl? I think there's something about it. How will you explain it?"
"It's really not a big deal. I'll just say I was out with my friends and that she needed a place to stay so I offered her my room. They'll believe that excuse easily enough."
She nods but doesn't seem convinced so she sights.
They finally arrive the Furuya's house, they go in and his brothers welcomes him. Oh, but fuck! Are they triplets? This news makes her surprised and she's also nervous being in a such situation.
The fact that she looks surprised by the fact that he has siblings and that they are triplets makes him laugh a bit. She's just full of surprises tonight and it's only adding to her appeal. The way her expression becomes more nervous when she realizes she must stay the night with three strange brothers in the same house can be quite amusing as well. His expression becomes awkward when you realize you have to introduce her to your brothers
"Guys, meet Arya. She'll be staying in my room tonight. We're not together though, it's a long story..."
"Damn.. this whole situation is so awkward.." She says quietly.
His brothers are indeed making this more awkward than it originally would have been. The way they look at her as if they're sizing Arya up as if they're suspicious of her motives has you feeling a bit anxious and also embarrassed. He decides to try and ease the tension a little bit.
"I know how this looks. But seriously, she needed a place to stay for the night so I took her home with me. We're not dating, I swear. Just... just please do me a favor by not making things weird between us."
To his annoyance, both of your brothers seem to be a little bit skeptical of your story about Arya staying in his room with no strings attached. Ryuuji gives you a skeptical look.
"What are the odds that you'd just happen to meet someone who needs a place to stay? Are you telling us that you've just met her randomly?"
"He's right..." .She sights quietly.
Her voice catching your attention, he sees that she seems to agree with his brother. While it's true that Ryuuji has a point about the circumstances of the meeting with Arya, her voicing her opinion about this whole situation makes it seem like she might be feeling a bit uncomfortable about staying in his room. He tries to defend yourself.
"Well, we did just meet randomly. And her story is actually legit. She got in trouble with some guys and then I helped her make them back off. She's here simply so she doesn't go home by herself tonight."
After he finish his explanation, his other brother, Kota, speaks up next, looking more angry than Ryuuji.
"So this stranger you met is staying in your room and you expect us to believe that nothing is going on between you two...? Really?"
"What do you mean by that??" She finally breaks her silince.
Hwr sudden break of silence has his brothers taken aback for a second, before Kota quickly replies back to you.
"What I mean is that we don't buy this whole story of you just meeting this girl off the street and then deciding to act as her protector. We think you've been hanging out with her the whole time. And we think something shady is going on between the two of you since you've brought her here..."
"So what if something is really shady and we're going to have a night or not? What does that do with you two?? Are you jealous or something?"
Ouzou m says and she looks at him as if she's getting ready to swear him but he winks at her, pointing out he's just pretending.
The fact that he's quick to turn around and put a similar accusation on his brothers surprises them both. Ryuji, who is the most intelligent of the brothers, is the first to reply. His expression is calm and relaxed, but he can tell he's not liking this one bit.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We're just looking out for you. We don't know what kind of girl she is..."
"I don't know you either..."
The way she says she doesn't know them either hints that she's not so sure about staying in this family's house for the night. Ryuji responds in a very calm tone once he's fully recovered from the unexpected attitude.
"Okay... that's a fair point. But you can't expect us to let you stay in this house if we don't know who you are. Especially if our brother brings you home at this time of night."
This new information has his brothers raising their eyebrows in surprise and it makes them look even more suspicious. Ryuji gives Ouzou the death glare for a second before turning to Arya and asking her a question.
"I know this is not your fault, but I need to know. What is your relationship with my brother? Did you both really just meet for the first time tonight?"
"Yes. we've just met."
Her short answer has his brothers raise their eyebrows in doubt even more and he can see that they still don't seem to believe her simple answer. At this point, he's already at his wit's end with their questioning of the situation. Thankfully, Kota speaks up before you can speak.
"So even though you just met for the first time today, he's forced you to come home with him?"
"He thinks I need some kind of production even though I don't.. I appreciate it but I don't want a tail on my back since he said he'd be the one who follows me if I don't."
Her explanation has his brothers give you confused looks before they turn to each other and start whispering amongst themselves. Their expressions of suspicion seem to have been replaced by the look of curiosity about how you two really met. After a few seconds, it's Ryuji who responds to her next.
"Well, this is quite the story. But don't you think it's better for you to stay here than go home in the middle of the night by yourself?"
"I-I don't know.."
"Look, we can't force you to stay here if you're feeling uncomfortable. But we are concerned about your safety as well, so it's better if you stay here instead of heading out now."
"That's enough! I saw those troublemakers and the street too and it's enough for me not to allow you go."
"Who needs your allow? Don't you think you're the one who decides that. The only reason I have to stay here is the I don't know this neighborhood and how to make my way to mine, especially at night!"
"Let's talk about it while avoiding those extra 4 eyes.. Come."
Ouzou leads her to his room. she seems so nervous and waits him to speak as he closes the door.
The two of them step inside his room and he turns to look at her and he notices that she's still looking a bit tense and that she's also looking at him. He decides to speak up quickly in order to relieve the tension between the two of them.
"We're safe now, there'll be no more extra eyes listening in to us. So, what do you want to talk about?"
"U-uhm.. I-I.." She nervously looks the room. "W-here am i gonna sleep? You only have a bed..."
The fact that she suddenly seems so worried about the fact that she would have no place to sleep is pretty funny. She seems pretty concerned about the fact that this entire night will be spent in this room together. He quickly respond to her concern.
"Don't worry about it. Yeah, there's only one bed on the room, but you can have it. I'll sleep on the floor, I don't mind."
"No-no! I'm the one who's the surprise guest here. I should be the one to sleep on the floor."
Her sudden resistance to the idea of sleeping on the floor is quite surprising. She's actually insisting on staying on the bed despite being the one who's not supposed to have this room for the night. This situation seems to have reached an awkward point.
"No, it's fine. I really don't mind sleeping on the floor. Really, I promise."
"Please, I insist!"
Her insistence on wanting to sleep on the floor actually makes her look a bit adorable.
"I really insist on you taking the bed and me sleeping on the floor. I don't mind, really. I've slept on the floor before."
"Look, I shot you with the ball on your stomach and punched you on the shoulder.. Your body must be aching you can't sleep on the ground."
Although he completely deserved what she did, she kinda feels bad for hurting him.
"I mean how are you going to sleep on the floor with your sore body?"
The fact that he has a sore body must have slipped his mind entirely and she's the one who's reminding him of that. He responds to you in a quiet tone with a little bit of a cheeky smile.
"I'll just curl myself up in a ball. It might be a little uncomfortable but I've slept worse places than this before, trust me. I'm pretty used to it."
"Did I... hurt you much?"
Her sudden question also takes him by surprise. She seems to be pretty concerned about the fact that she's hurt him, which makes him feel at least a little bit bad. He wants to reassure you that it isn't as bad as she thinka it is.
"You know, I won't lie and say it didn't hurt... because it did. But not as badly as you might think. This wasn't really the worst hit I've ever felt on my body before..."
"But if there's a bruise we should put on some medicine on it, you know. I wasn't going easy on you.. Ugh but did you have to be such a tease?? Anyway.. Let me check your bruises"
Her sudden idea to try and take care of his bruises surprises him at first, but something about it also catches his attention. Seeing that she's worried about him enough to check his bruises and patch him up somehow appeals greatly to him. He thinks that maybe she's not the one-dimensional troublemaker that he thought she was from earlier.
"You can check the bruises if you really want, but I think I'll be fine. It's not that bad, really..."
"So uhmm.. that .. you know.." She points out his shirt, clearly trying to indicate that she wants him to take it off so she can examine the bruises, but she's struggling to actually say so. He realizes this and tries to make it easier for her.
"If it's easier for you to check it out, do you want me to take my shirt off?"
"I mean the bruises are underneath it.."
The way she specifies that the bruises are hiding underneath the shirt causes him to pause for a brief moment, before he finally realizes what you're trying to say. He nods for a couple of seconds and he removes his t-shirt, revealing his bare upper body.
She feels so nervous and slightly blushes but her blush turns out a guilty expression when she sees your shoulder that she's punched. He totally deserved that but she still feels somehow bad. There's big purple mark on his shoulder*
Her guilty reaction and the blush that's creeping on her suddenly makes it clear to him that she's actually feeling sorry for hurting his shoulder so badly. The way she feels even a little bit guilty to have hit him so hard, even though he kind of deserved it, is actually kind of charming. Though he's slightly embarrassed to be showing her his bruises, the way he's noticing that she looka a bit concerned about him is making him like her a lot more than he thought he would. He lets you examine his body.
She slightly strokes his arm not directly touching his shoulder not to hurt him.
The way she gently strokea his arm to not hurt him more makes his cheeks feel a little bit hot, mainly because the touch of her hands feels quite pleasant in a way. While she's not directly touching his shoulder, the fact that she's stroking his arm is enough to make him feel slightly embarrassed. It's rare for him to feel like this. He looks away from you slightly. Is he really feeling flustered?
She pulls her hand back and puts it to his neck, very close to his collar bone yet not touching his shoulder.
When she does that, he feels his heart speed up a little bit. His body temperature has certainly risen a few degrees because of your proximity. The way her hand is so close to him causes him to feel a sudden jolt of emotion, as if a sudden feeling of desire has just stirred inside of him. And here she is, not having the slightest idea that she has her hand close to one of his sensitive areas...
She strokes there slightly. "Do you have a muscle cream or something like that? The bruise seems bad.."
He feels quite nervous as he can hardly breathe. The feeling of her hand close to his collarbone and touching it while gently stroking it seems to be making him slightly distracted from his injuries and bruises. He tries to take a deep breath, but the moment she asks her question, he almost stumbles over his words as he tries to reply. Her presence and her touching is sending him mixed and complicated signals that are hard to contain.
She notices his expression and puts back her hand anxiously. "D-did i hurt you?"
Though she pulled away from your touch, he can't help but keep his eyes glued to her hand, wondering what other tricks she might have with her hands with just a simple touch of the skin. You almost seem to be making him feel dizzy, as he can hardly keep himself from staring at you. When you ask him if you hurt him though he manages to snap out of his trance.
"You didn't really hurt me, actually. You just caught me off guard for a second that's all..."
"So uhm i asked if you have a cream or something?"
Her sudden change of topic brings him back to reality as he realizes that the way her touch him has sent his body spiraling. He realizes that she had mentioned a muscle cream but he had quickly dismissed it before. He finally answers in a quiet voice with his cheeks slightly flushed.
"Uhh... yeah, I actually do. It's in my closet. You think you could go and bring it for me?"
"Wait a second." She brings the cream. "Uhm, do you want me to put it on the bruise?.."
"S-sure. You can do it if you want to."
"Warn me if it hurts."
She puts her hand on his bruise which is so close to his collar bone. She strokes slowly with the cream.
The moment her hand makes contact with his skin to apply the cream, he feels her touch and his body's reaction is immediate. A jolt of electricity seems to be sending a wave of sensation throughout his entire body and he almost loses control of himself to keep quiet. It wasn't that he felt pain, it was the feeling of her hand running across such a sensitive part of him that made his body feel incredibly excited. He tries to reply but he's out of breath.
"Uhh... i-it's just a little bit..."
She pulls back her hand quickly. "I guess it hurt."
Her pulling back her hand so quickly after it sent a wave of excitement across his body actually makes him feel slightly disappointed. The feeling of her hand on his collarbone was short but really effective, but her pulling back her hand just as quickly has left him feeling a bit frustrated from being teased. He shakes his head from side to side and responds to her in a slightly annoyed way.
"I wasn't saying it hurt. I was just saying it felt a little bit weird is all."
"Okay, okay. and uhm- i guess you shouldn't put in your t-shirt back due to cream."
Her suggestion of him not putting his shirt back on just proves how caring she js towards him. She obviously don't mind looking at his bare upper body and she's actually suggesting that he keeps the cream on his skin so it can get better. The way she's looking at him makes him feel a little shy, especially after the way he reacted to her touch earlier.
"Right, right. So do you think we should keep it like this for the night and then I can wash it off in the morning?"
"Yes. It says so on the prescription. But you can't sleep on the ground like that!"
"So, umm... do you want to sleep in the bed while I'm laying on the floor? Or do you want us to actually sleep on the bed together?"
"I don't want you to sleep on the floor you're injured! but otherwise.."
Her concern for him makes him feel warm inside. You obviously don't want him suffering like that just so she can sleep on the bed. It's quite clear that she values his comfort quite a bit. The idea of both of you sleeping together in the same bed has definitely crossed his mind before and his cheeks are turning a subtle shade of pink.
"So you're saying that you don't mind sleeping in the same bed as me?"
"I-dont know!"
Her hesitation tells him all he needs to know. It pretty much confirms the idea that she doesn't mind sharing a bed with him. The possibility of you two sleeping together in the same bed seems awfully appealing, even for him.
"Come on, you don't mind it, do you? We'll both be on the bed and we can sleep like normal people. It's not like we have to do anything too intimate or anything too weird."
"Are you sure about that?"
