With coming up with a song for Meiko, Matsuri has his present prepared for Meiko during Tanabata. While his feelings for Meiko remain strong, is he truly ready to take the next step in their relationship? What will he do from here? Meanwhile, Kiyoshi is having trouble of his own with Chiyo…
-Matsuri's Room-
July 5th (Thursday)
10:55pm
Matsuri was laying on top of his bed, with the laptop opened in front of him. He was currently on the zoom call with his friends. Etsuko alongside Tsubaki, Yukina and Megumi were in their own session. Joining in their zoom call were both Matsuri sisters.
[Really! You have a present for Meiko at Tanabata!] Ritsu said with stars in her eyes.
"Yeah, I had help from Etsuko and the others. It should be all good by Saturday." Matsuri said with a smile.
Ritsu contained her squeal as she shook her fist in one place. [I wanna know! I wanna know!]
[Hate to burst your bubble, but Matsuri said that he's going to be showing it to her…alone.] Megumi said.
Upon hearing that, Ritsu puffed her cheeks in frustration with a mixture of simply being annoyed by her brother. [Of course you would try to hide it from us. I swear, you can be no fun sometimes!]
Matsuri returned the stare. "Or maybe because I have a good reason to keep it from you and not reveal what I'm going to be doing so I can avoid you embarrassing me even further."
[But dear brother, that's the fun part. It's our job as sisters to embarass you. It's our way of showing how we love you.] Ayame said with a grin.
Yukina held a narrow glare at Ayame. [I must say, for sisters you have a weird way of showing love to your younger brother.]
[It's called sisterly love. You'll understand it in due time.]
Matsuri groaned at his sister's response. He really did not like how his sister was always finding ways of embarrassing him, true it's their way of showing love, but still. "Are you guys still coming to the party?"
[Hell yeah we are! What type of party is it going to be again?] Ritsu asked.
"It's gonna be an outdoor barbecue party. Hana said it would be within the budget since we're in school and all." Matsuri said.
Ayame felt a little miffed about it. [Hm…I would've imagined you guys would do a yakiniku party or something. You know, considering how rich Mari is and all.]
Matsuri held a glare at his oldest sister. "I would rather if I didn't. I'm not gonna abuse Mari's finances like that."
[Not much of abuse, but more of…you know…taking advantage of it when the moment calls.] Ayame said with a grin.
[That's just wrong on many levels.] Tsubaki said with a blank expression.
[But it's also super effective as well.] Etsuko said with a glint in her eye.
Matsuri sighs to himself. "Look, I just think that an outdoor barbecue party will do just fine. I'm not gonna go and blow out her money, it would just be me abusing her money. Besides, I'm pretty sure she has no complete control over her money."
[That is true there.] Yukina spoke. [There's a limit that you can control your money for. I mean, it would be complete idiocy if parents were to leave their credit card with their childrens.]
[Spoken like a true Ojou-san.] Etsuko said with a smirk.
[Ojou-san!] Ritsu merrily said alongside the girl.
Yukina groaned with a glare as she looked the other way, ignoring their comment. [Children…]
[So hey, Matsuri] Ayame spoke up. [Is there gonna be any entertainment during the party?]
"Yeah. I think Meiko said that she will be performing a barrel toss."
Ritsu blinks with a curious tilt. [Barrel toss…what's that?]
[It's basically just you tossing a barrel in the air and doing all sorts of tricks with it.] Ayame explained.
[WOW! REALLY!? THAT'S AWESOME! MATSURI YOU HAVE A COOL GIRLFRIEND!] Ritsu yelled with excitement.
[HE SURE DOES!] Etsuko agreed.
Matsuri's face flushed red from embarrassment. He looked the other way as he was lightly scratching his cheeks. "S-She really is amazing…"
Ayame held a grin. [So hey, have you and Meiko ever made any progress in your relationship?]
Matsuri looked back at his sister with one eye. "W-What do you mean?"
[Come on, you know…] Ayame leaned in close to the screen. [I'm talking about have you ever gotten close to having sex?]
…..
The whole call room went silent. Many wide range expressions ranged from a variety of expressions. Etsuko held a sparkled look in her eyes with a bit of a blush upon her cheeks. However Tsubaki had a different reaction as she held a slightly embarrassed expression, looking the other way lightly scratching at her cheeks. Yukina held back a soft gasp with her hand over her mouth. Megumi was rather more tamed but raised a brow at the boy's sister.
Matsuri's face was flushed deep red. He looks at the older sibling with a fierce expression. "W-WHY DID YOU ASK THAT QUESTION!?"
[What? It's a simple question. Come on, you got yourself a smoking hot girlfriend and you're telling me you haven't made a move or anything yet. The girl packs everything in the damn department! Any boys would definitely want to park in her garden!]
Matsuri groaned for a moment before he pondered for a moment. He remembered how he and Meiko spent time with each other and have done some…interesting activities during their alone time. Especially during their time at the movie theater. Matsuri could still remember the feeling of her entire body on top of him. But he couldn't tell them that. He would never hear the end of it.
He shook his head as he looked the other way with a blush. "M-My relationship got nothing to do with you."
[Hey! Don't be like that! Lay the details on us!] Ayame said.
[Yeah! What she said!] Etsuko agreed with the sisters.
Tsubaki looked at her friend with a blank expression before pushing both of her cheeks together. [No need for you to join them.]
Matsuri groaned. "I'm not telling. If you want to find out, you find out yourself."
[Now, now girls. There's no need to go into Matsuri and Meiko's relationship. It's an invasion of privacy and just plain rude.] Yukina spoke with common sense.
[Yeah right,] Etsuko held a narrowed look at the ninja student. [You're just as curious as we are with their relationship!]
Yukina flinched with a blush. [I AM MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT! Unlike you all, I'm more mature.]
[Says the ninja who literally knows much about us.] Megumi said with a blank expression.
[I only do that so I can understand my friends or whom I am dealing with. I don't want to go out of my way and hang out with the wrong crowd. Granted, my reason was to keep a close eye on Etsuko, but I decided to join because I saw my opportunity to help you during the sports festival.]
The group was silent on her answer. Looking at the ninja teen with the same expression.
[Don't know how to answer that to be honest…] Megumi said as she scratched the back of her head.
Yukina coughed in her hands. [Anyways, while we're on the topic. I wish to ask you something, Matsuri.]
Matsuri blinked. "What?"
[Listen, I know you love Meiko and Meiko loves you. But I can't help but to worry if you truly are ready to take the step into the next level. I mean, both of you are still young and still in highschool.] Yukina said.
The group couldn't help but blink curiously at her answer.
"H-Hold, what do you mean?"
[Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying anything like breaking up with her or anything negative. But it's been bugging me for a while now, do you truly feel ready to go over that boundary with her.]
[This is the most talk I heard from you, what are you going on with this, Yukina?] Megumi asked.
Yukina groaned for a moment before answering. [What I'm trying to say is…do either of you know how to have…well…sex.]
Matsuri's eyes widened for a moment. Now he knows what she meant by that. "O-Oh…um…well…to be honest…n-no I don't."
The group grew quiet. All of the girls within the call just stared at the boy with mixed expression. Megumi with a raised brow, Tsubaki held a somewhat disgruntled expression aside from Etsuko holding in a laugh. Ayame matched Etsuko's expression but Ritsu had next to no idea what she meant by 'know how to have sex'?
Yukina sputtered for a moment. [You're telling me that you have next to no knowledge about 'intercourse' and yet you two think you should be advancing your way towards that territory!?]
"I mean…we weren't trying to have sex or anything…well…aside from those other times." He muttered to himself.
Etsuko almost heard something in there. [What was that?]
"N-Nothing!"
Yukina released a sigh. [Honestly, sometimes I just worry for you guys. Matsuri, you can't just jump in there all willy nilly. Having intercourse with each other should be treated with care and love. You can't be careless with these.]
The group couldn't help but look at the modern ninja girl with odd expressions. All of them couldn't believe that they heard this from the one girl who tries to appear decent. Her talking about 'sex' and all.
Yukina noticed the stare as her cheeks flushed red. [Ahem, w-well, at least from what I read about. But aside from that, I believe this is something you should speak with your parents about.]
Matsuri blinked as he looked the other way with an embarrassed look. His expression matches that of Ayame. The only one clueless of it was Ritsu who looked up at her sister with a curious look.
[Hold on, you're telling me that you never had to sit down and speak with your parents about this?] Tsubaki said with a narrowed look.
"W-Well…"
[We never really thought that Matsuri would hit it off with any girls so soon. So we never bothered with it.] Ayame said with a sheepish grin.
Yukina brow twitched as she just looked at the older sibling with a questionable glare. She released a sigh to herself. [Well…that is given…I can see why you wouldn't bother since this is Matsuri we are talking about. However…the fact that you don't have faith in your brother hitting off seems a little overkill.]
[I mean, we thought that he would continue and date Yoshimiya but…y-you know how that happened…] Ritsu muttered after that.
Yukina hummed to herself with a pondering thought. [Either ways…Matsuri I highly recommend you to speak with a teacher or someone about this. Oh and don't speak with a chairman about this either. Nothing against him, but I just don't particularly trust that he would give the most…helpful response for you.]
[I agree with her.] Megumi raised her hand in agreement.
Matsuri released a soft sigh before speaking. "I'll take your word for it."
[Hey! Hello! What are you guys talking about? What's this whole thing about 'the talk' you guys keep talking about?] Ritsu asked.
[Um…I think it's about time we head out. Can't exactly have the little one here to be plagued with this discussion.] Yukina said.
[Sorry Ritsu, just wait until you're older.] Etsuko said with a sheepish grin.
Ritsu puffed her cheeks in a cute gesture before looking up at her sister. [HEY! WHAT IS 'THE TALK'?]
Ayame looks in the other direction with a sheepish expression. [Sorry, I'm not the one to talk to about this.]
[Ugh! All of you guys, fine! I'm gonna go ask mom and dad!] She said as she tried to squirm out of her sister's arms.
Ayame tightens her grip around the younger sibling. Trapping her in place. [Oh no you don't. Alright, it's about time we head out. I'll see you guys on Saturday then.]
"Right, I'll see you on Saturday Ayame, night Ritsu." Matsuri waved goodbye to her sisters.
[THIS CONVERSATION ISN'T O-] She was cut off the moment Ayame closed the call.
[Think we should all go to bed now.] Tsubaki said.
[Yes. We should. And Matsuri, remember to speak with one of the teachers about this.] Yukina pointed out.
"Don't worry I will." Matsuri reassured her.
[Wow, I didn't know Yukina could be such a mom.] Tsubaki jokes.
[Oh hush you.]
"Alright, goodnight guys. I'll possibly see you tomorrow." Matsuri waved them goodbye.
All of his friends closed their calls.
Matsuri closed his laptop, getting off of his bed as he walked over to the desk. Setting the laptop on his desk. He wasted no time and settled on top of his bed. Rolling his body over partly as he looks up at the ceiling. Remembering the conversation that Yukina brought up during the call session…
"Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying anything like breaking up with her or anything negative. But it's been bugging me for a while now, do you truly feel ready to go over that boundary with her."
Matsuri couldn't help but to have that thought lingering in his head. "I've been so caught up with the fact of taking my relationship with Meiko seriously, I never considered that…"
He stretched himself in bed, rolling over as he reached for the phone on his drawer. He began to search through the photo on his phone, looking at the picture he took of Meiko and himself during the sports festival.
"If I really want to take my relationship seriously…I mean…I do want to continue to stay by her side. Taking responsibility…in a relationship…"
Matsuri's eyes started to grow heavy on him. Drifting off into sleep.
…
Matsuri drifted away in a blissful sleep. The night was silent, a small wind drifted into his room.
Unknowest to the boy, a figure appears at the front of his door. Slowly making her way towards Matsuri's bed.
The boy felt his bed weight shifted to the right before bouncing a little. His eyes twitched a little, groaning as he slowly woke up. He shifted his head around and was startled to find a familiar amazon beauty on top of his bed.
Meiko had the boy trapped in the bed, both her hands planted on both sides, her legs straddling his waist to keep him in place. Her body leaned near him as he laid on his back looking up at her with a fierce blush on his face.
"M-Meiko!?" The boy said as he crawled back only to find himself trapped by her thick thigh.
The amazon student didn't say anything as she stared at the boy. Her eyes looked right into his with a firm expression.
"W-Why are you in my room?"
Meiko's lips curled into a smile. "Matsuri~."
"H-Huh?"
Matsuri was taken aback when Meiko launched at him. Her lips contacted his. Matsuri could feel her soft lips pushing against his. She parted ways from his lips, licking her lips as she looked at the boy with a loving expression in her eyes.
"I love you Matsuri~."
"H-Huh!?"
Meiko pushed herself against the boy, Matsuri's head was pushing against his pillow, leaning back with Meiko's nose. "Don't try to deny the truth."
"W-What do you mean?"
Meiko hands start to softly grasp his hand, softly rubbing the back of his hands. She leans in closer to his face. Releasing a breathless sigh. Her large bosom pressed against his clothed chest, he could feel the softness of her breast, her nipples poking against his.
"You wish to take our relationship to the next level. Do you~?" She said.
Matsuri's face flared up a fiery red as he looked at the teen who was looking at the boy. "I-I mean…"
"Now, now. No need to hold back…I'm all yours."
She lifted herself up from the boy's position. Sitting right on top of him as she begins to slowly remove the shirt off her. Sliding it off from her shoulders. Matsuri eyes were glued to her massive breast as it bounced in place, once more being snuggled in her purple bra.
"And I can't hold back anymore either."
Matsuri's heart pounded against his chest, beating faster and faster by every second Meiko removed her clothing. Her hands hovered over to his hand, softly grabbing it, locking it into her hands. She then guided it to her breast, hugging it close to her heart. She leaned close to the boy, her face leaning close to his.
"Can you feel it? My heart cannot take it anymore. And I wish to make out now…and I know you do too."
"Wa-!"
Matsuri was stopped once more as she launched herself at the boy again. She pushed herself against the boy. Both of them moaning, Matsuri feeling her tongue dance around in his mouth. Drifting off into the pleasurement of Meiko tongue. She parted ways from Matsuri, both of them looking at each other with loving expressions.
Matsuri allowed Meiko to guide his hands to the front of her bra. Right in the middle between her massive valleys. She made him hook her bra, allowing her breasts to be freed from their prison. Matsuri could see her nipples in front of her breast. He could feel his mushroom growing against his pants. His eyes couldn't steer away from them.
"Come now Matsuri," She said as she slowly lifted Matsuri's shirt up, removing his shirt from his body. The boy was lost in a daze as he looked at the girl. She then sets both her hands on his cheeks, caressing them with gentle care. She moves him closer to her face once more. "Release your inner desire…and let's be one."
Their lips were about to contact each other once more.
…..
Matsuri wakes up with a gasp. He shoots his body up from the bed, his face flushed deep red. He whips his head around, noticing the sun shining through the window. Showing that it was morning. The boy released a sigh while pushing his hand over his chest to ease his heart.
"To think I would have that dream…again." He told himself.
He could remember the kiss from Meiko who kissed him in his dream. He could still feel the soft, plump lips against his. Her tongue was dancing around in his mouth, touching his tongue.
"Just thinking about it…it makes my heart go nuts."
Matsuri once again remembered Yukina words. They do ring true, if he truly does wish to make a healthy relationship with Meiko, he would need to respect some boundaries with her. He wouldn't want to make any mistake with her.
"I want to continue to be by her side…but I don't want to hurt her…ugh. What do I even do?"
The boy was confused, not sure how to approach the situation.
-Rooftop-
July 6th (Friday)
3:15pm
On the rooftop of Hachimitsu, the five boys were busy doing some sort of activity. At least, four of them were putting together some sort of sculpture of sorts that was entirely made from plastic water bottles that were empty. Scattered around them were empty boxes, some of them were left unopened that were stacked together not to be mixed up with the opened one.
While Gakuto, Shingo, Joe and Andre were busy building the model, Kiyoshi was pondering deep thoughts, away from the productivity.
"Tomorrow is Tanabata…I know we're gonna have a party for the celebration of the new council reform. Not only that…it's the celebration of Chiyo's birthday as well."
An image of Chiyo appeared in his mind for a brief moment. A deep frown carved on his face.
"Now that I think about it…I haven't spoken to her ever since that incident with Hana…" Kiyoshi groaned as he ruffled his hair roughly. "Ugh…I feel like an asshole. Maybe I should apologize to her…but would she even let me speak out?"
"KIYOSHI-DONO!"
The boy flinched, turning his head to the glasses-wearing boy. "H-Huh!? Wha?"
"Would you kindly participate by helping us create PBR. MKII!" Gakuto said as he pointed to the model they were reconstructing.
Kiyoshi looks at the model being put together. "Um…s-sorry guys. I'm just a little off today."
"Then go somewhere else if you're feeling down! You're ruining the mood with your sour ass mood!" Shingo yelled.
"Yeah! Get *cough* lost you downer!" Joe said with his usual cough.
"Go away!" Andre joined in the riot.
"You guys are mean." Kiyoshi muttered. But didn't pay too much mind to them as he went back to mopping about.
Gakuto pushed his glasses up. "Are you perhaps worried about the party tomorrow?"
Kiyoshi gave out a sigh. "It's not just the party…it's about Chiyo-chan too."
The boys blinked, giving each other a look before looking back at the boy. "Oh that's right, didn't you peed on her or something?"
"NO! I DIDN'T! BUT I ALMOST PEED ON HER SISTER WHO WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME!" Kiyoshi yelled before dropping to his knee once more. "I haven't spoken to her since…"
"Seriously, not ever?" Shingo asked.
"Ugh! It's been bugging me for a while now and I want to make it up with her! I know I don't have a chance in hell of dating Chiyo-chan! But I still don't want to leave things the way they are!"
"Then Kiyoshi-dono…why not simply apologize to her."
Kiyoshi only responded with an annoyed groan.
"Don't tell me you haven't thought of that?" Shingo said.
"I did think about it. I thought about it for a long time. But…" Kiyoshi trailed off in thought with a brief scenario in his head. Making him more anxious than before. "I'm afraid of her not forgiving me for lying to her."
Kiyoshi drove his head further in his knees, hugging his knees close to his face, not revealing it to his friends who stopped building PBR MK II for a moment. Andre walks up to Kiyoshi, setting his hand on his shoulders.
"Kiyoshi, I understand." Andre said softly. "I know where you're coming from. Because I thought that Matsuri and Meiko wouldn't forgive me either. After all the stuff I did when I was lost in my own world. Sure…Meiko didn't somewhat forgive me. I don't blame her, I almost killed him. But in the end…Matsuri still was glad I was back to normal."
Joe nodded. "He's right. It's not *cough* too late to apologize to her."
Kiyoshi blinked as he pondered in his thoughts. Wondering on how to handle it. "Maybe you're right…I guess I should go and apologize."
"That's the spirit, Kiyoshi-dono!" Gakuto said with a fist bump in the air.
"I'll write an apology letter and you guys will go send it to her!"
"Yeah we-wait what?" Shingo stopped himself before he continued on.
The other boys were on similar boats. They all looked at the blue haired boy who had a smile on his face filled with determination. They glanced at each other before looking back at the boy.
"Um…Kiyoshi-dono. What do you mean?" Gakuto asked.
"Well you see, I was thinking. What if I were to write an apology letter for her and I will have one of you guys send it to her. It's perfect!"
The boys glance at each other once more with baffled expressions. Shingo groaned as he ruffled his hair. "You idiot. Can't you just do it yourself. Hell, you can just go and apologize to her in-person while you still can."
"H-Huh? But wouldn't writing something be just as effective…"
"Of course it won't work, you dumbass."
Kiyoshi and the boys nearly jumped out of their skin when they heard an all too familiar voice. They slowly turned their head around and spotted a familiar bob cut hair style blonde who stood straight with her hands under her chest. Looking at the boy with a disapproving look.
"H-Hana!?" Kiyoshi said.
This caused Hana to look at the boy with narrowed eyes. "You know I'm starting to get real tired of you reacting like that you ass."
Kiyoshi flinched as he looked down at his hand. "S-Sorry…it's a serious force of habit."
"U-Um…what pleasure brings you here, Hana-dono?" Gakuto asked with a nervous tone.
Hana eyes traveled to the ongoing process work of PBR MK II before looking at the boys who were scared out of their pants. "Well, I was called here by our new Madam President about some students smuggling a load of boxes up the stairs towards the rooftop. Mind telling me what the hell is this trash."
"TRASH!?"
All four of the boys stood up. Staring angrily at the girl.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU OWE PBR-SAMA AN APOLOGY FOR YOUR RUDENESS!"
"YEAH! DON'T GO THROWING INSULT AT OUR LORD LIKE THAT!"
"APOLOGIZE YOU *WHEEZE* WITCH!"
"THAT'S RIGHT! RESPECT PBR-SAMA OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!"
Hana just blinked at all four of them. Just giving them a narrowed look before rolling her eyes. "I don't give a fuck about your dumb little idol. Just make sure it's not lying around in some way or I just may have to report you. And since you guys worked so 'hard' to revive the wet t-shirt contest. "
The boys flinched. The image of the wet t-shirt contest once more filled their minds. They glanced at each other before bowing.
"WE'RE SORRY FOR OUR HOSTILITY."
"That's better." She said with her fist on her hips. She then looks at the boy who was currently not in production with the other. "Now about you, what's this about writing a letter to Chiyo."
"U-Um…you remember our little incident when I was hypnotized?"
"How could I not forget. I still remember your dumbass spreading our secret like that in public."
"Well…I haven't spoken with Chiyo-chan for a while now and I want to apologize for how much of a terrible person I am."
Hana blinked with a glare. "And you literally thought of apologizing by just writing a dumb letter?"
Kiyoshi winced. Already aware of the looming rage of Hana. "I-Is there a problem?"
"Yeah there's a problem you dumbass. Why go out of your way of writing a letter when you can just go and apologize to her in-person! No need for you to go hiding in the shadows and sneak around like a rat. Just go to her."
Kiyoshi grew stiff from Hana's tone of voice. He looks in the other direction with a defeated expression. "But…with everything that Chiyo-chan has seen from me, I don't know if she'll even look at me anymore. Or even give me the time to speak."
"You won't know unless you wing it, right? Just act normal, you moron."
"Easy for you, but it's not for me."
Hana growled under her breath. "You're just making an excuse for yourself so that you don't have to face Chiyo-chan."
"Indeed. Hana-dono does make a valid argument." Gakuto said. "Kiyoshi-dono, you're acting like a coward."
"Chicken ass." Joe muttered.
Kiyoshi angrily looks at the boys. "You guys don't know how it feels to run around naked around the school, shouting out to the heaven of my deepest darkest secret!"
The boys stopped for a moment. All of them give Kiyoshi the look of the 'really' face.
"What?"
"Have you completely forgotten that all four of us were caught naked on top of the changing room of the first year students?" Gakuto asked.
Kiyoshi was about to say something until he was hit with the memory of their first ever heist here at the school. "Ah…now I remember…point taken."
"Still, not as bad as you. You were hypnotized and spread the words of affair between you and Hana." Shingo said with a bit of snicker.
But his snicker was cut short when he received one good drop kick on the head. Stunning him in place as he falls to the ground. Leaving the boy paralyzed in fear. Hana retreated her foot to herself, giving the boys a hard glare.
"Now then…anyone else wants to laugh?" She threatened with a dark tone. The boys responded with a quick shake of their heads. She huffed out some air from her nostril before looking at Kiyoshi. "But seriously, you should just apologize to her in-person instead. The party is tomorrow, how about it?"
"T-That is true. And I was planning on doing that! B-But I don't know how to act around-"
He stopped himself as he was poked in the nose by Hana finger. She leaned towards the boy with a firm glare.
"There's no point in thinking about it. Just act normal and don't over do it either. If you do, you're just gonna make her uncomfortable."
Kiyoshi blinked. "So…I don't have to think about it?"
"Of course not! Just act normal around her and do what you need to do," Hana stood back up once more, her glare not leaving Kiyoshi's. "Listen, her birthday is tomorrow. That would be the perfect time for you to go and apologize to her. I'll help you out in case you fuck up somewhere. Which I know you will. How about it? I think that sounds like a good idea."
"Indeed. That does sound like a good idea." Gakuto agreed.
The other boys also agreed alongside. Leaving Kiyoshi with only so many choices. And with Hana added to the mix…meaning he was pretty much backed into the corner.
Kiyoshi gave out a sigh. "Fine…you win. But I still don't know what to do…or more of just reacting to her without remembering what happened."
"Just relax, we'll meet her tomorrow and just apologize. As for you guys, make sure you don't cause any trouble with your um…PBR MK II."
"YES MA'AM!"
Hana turned around and walked towards the door that led inside the building. Leaving the boys to themselves. After she left, the boys gave a big sigh.
"Geez, I almost had a heart attack." Shingo said as he clutched his chest.
"Indeed, but at least Hana-dono holds no grudge against she still packs a wild punch…a deadly one at that." Gakuto said with a shudder.
"Easy for you to say, she nearly carved my head…AGAIN!"
"Better you than me." Joe said.
"I'm in agreement. And I like receiving pain." Andre nodded in agreement but was terrified.
"OH FUCK OFF BOTH OF YOU!"
Kiyoshi was busy pondering in thought of Hana words. If he were to get around and apologize to Chiyo he would need to stop thinking about what happened and focus on trying to rekindle his friendship with her.
"Hana is right. I can't keep lingering in the past. I need to apologize to her when I can."
-Teacher Lounge-
Suzumei gave a long, big stretch, leaning on the back of her chair, locking her hands together and raising them above her head. She sighs to herself as she looks out the window, the sun beating down on her through the window.
She lounged back on the chair as she pulled on her shirt. "Guess it's that time of the year again."
"Um…Suzumei-sensei?"
She turns to see a familiar boy standing near her. She looked at his face as he looked tired. "You okay? You look tired."
"Sorry, I didn't get enough sleep last night because I had some…well thoughts."
Suzumei blinked as she looked at the boy with a curious expression. "Thoughts…what do you mean?"
Matsuri played with his fingers a little. His eyes trying to avoid her gaze. "Well…there's something I want to speak with you about…it's concerning my relationship with Meiko?"
-Infirmary-
"Your relationship with Matsuri?" Takamoto said.
The nurse sat posed on the chair, looking at an embarrassed Meiko who was sitting on a stool. Her hands folded together pushing between her thighs, her face flushed red. Her eyes looked down at her own hands.
"Y-Yes…"
"Did something happen between you two?"
"No, no, no. Everything is good between us! Honest!" Meiko said with a nervous tone. Almost sweating on the spot.
Takamoto raised her hands in defense. "Calm down, I'm not trying to say anything bad, I'm just wondering why you come here concerning your relationship with Matsuri."
Meiko's face flushed deep crimson red as she began to sweat profoundly. "U-Um…I was wondering if I can ask you a question…I've been thinking last night about our relationship and well…"
Takamoto blinks at the teenager with a curious tilt. Unsure of what Meiko is gonna ask her.
Meiko begins to mess with her hair strands a little as she looks in the different direction. "Ugh, this is rather out of the blue from me, but I've been curious for a while now…but I don't have anyone else to ask about…"
"Ask about what?"
Matsuri strokes the single strand of his hair strand with a fierce blush. Not looking at Suzumei who was waiting for his question.
"You see…last night Yukina told me something that I just realized and can't get out of my head now…"
"Yes? What is it?" Suzumei asked.
"How do you have sex?/How does one have sex?" Both Matsuri and Meiko asked.
"WHAAAAT/HUUUUUH!?" Both Suzumei and Takamoto screamed in sync.
"YOU WISH TO KNOW WHAT NOW!?" Suzumei asked
Matsuri raised his hands in defense. "SORRY! SORRY! Y-YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT!"
"NEVERMIND THAT! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU ASK ME ABOUT THAT!?" Suzumei asked with a fierce blush equalling that of Matsuri.
"I-I see…so," Takamoto said with a once more posed sitting. "You wish to take the next step in your relationship with Matsuri. But you have no idea how to or even understand the concept of it all."
Meiko's face was completely red. Her hand clenched into a fist. "I-I know it's something out of the norm, especially from someone like me. But this is my first time being in a relationship with a male."
"I must ask, where did this thought come from all of a sudden?"
"I was approached with a question from Hana. She asked if I had ever gotten so far with Matsuri. She even asked me about…well…something about his mushroom or something…"
Takamoto flinched at that with a blush. "Just what the hell are these students doing behind our backs!? I mean, I know they're at that age, but to think that they're asking things like that, it does make me worried."
Meiko sighs to herself as she leans back a little as she plants her hands on the mattress. "Last night…I couldn't get a single sleep…"
"I had a dream of Meiko…we were making out with each other." Matsuri spoke with Suzumei, listening to his story. "Throughout that dream…a-at first I wanted to stop her but…the more I was dreaming…the more I wanted to do more…"
Suzumei's eyes widened at the boy. "Never expect to hear that from you…"
"I know this is a bit of a shock…but I can't get it out of my head. All I can think about is Meiko!" He said as he ruffled his hair with frustration. "I love her, but I don't want to overstep our boundaries! I…I just don't know what to-"
Matsuri stops where he was as he feels Suzumei hand settling on his shoulders. He looks up at the teacher who looks at her with a soft smile.
"Calm down Matsuri…it's common for you to be curious about something like 'sex' or inappropriate 'illicit relationship'. It's natural for students at your age to be curious." She said as she sat back down on her seat. "Now, for your question about 'sex'...sorry to inform you but as a teacher I must refrain you from going that far."
"I understand that both of you are at that age and it is perfectly fine to make love with each other. But as a staff member of Hachimitsu, it is our job to make sure that you students stay safe." Takamoto said.
"S-So…is that a no then…"
"You do remember the last time you two tried to make love with each other during the sports festival, right?" Takamoto asked her. Meiko nodded her head. "Kiruyu told the both of you to not explore too deeply into your relationship, it's not entirely safe."
"W-What do you mean?"
She sighs to herself as she gives Meiko a stern look. "Meiko. I'm gonna be blunt about this. And this also extends to Matsuri as well…"
"Now, it is true. Both you and Meiko are close to that young adult age and it's fine if you two make love to each other. But don't ever and I mean this in the most blunt answer possible, don't ever have sex with each other."
Matsuri blinked at her. "B-But why though?"
"Simple. Both you and Meiko are still too young to be exploring that territory."
"B-But is it common for students our age to have sex…a-at least from what I heard online and all." Meiko stuttered a little with a blush.
Takamoto only held a groan as she looked at Meiko with a blank look. "I mean, everyone has their own opinion on whether or not to have sex during high school or not. Or what is the right age to engage in such action. But there are some risk factors of engaging in 'sex'."
"R-Risk factors…"
"Yes." Takamoto leaned in towards Meiko as she pokes her in the forehead. "However, if treated with care, sex can be safe for you both. But that's only if you know what you're doing. Other than that, for you two to engage in sex, I do feel both of you guys are a little too early to do it."
Meiko blinks at her, her sweat still dripping against her bare skin, but not by much. Despite getting an answer, she still felt a little down. "I-I see…so we are not allowed to go that far."
"Not entirely, I did say you can still engage in some activities between each other, but just not too deep into it." Takamoto noticed Meiko still looking down a little, almost as if she was ashamed of herself. She offered a warm smile. "Listen Meiko, both of you are still in the early stages of your relationship so there's no need for either of you to rush it. There is still plenty of room for both of you to experience in your high school years and it would be a shame if your relationship is suddenly ruined."
"Listen Matsuri, if you don't know how to have sex, it does come with some casualties. It should be treated with proper care. If not, you should be making clear boundaries and taking responsibility for your actions."
Matsuri's eyes widened. "That's what Yukina said as well. She said things about taking responsibility for your actions and building boundaries is important."
"I see, I'm surprised Yukina could even have that knowledge." Suzumei said as she thought to herself before speaking. "She's not entirely wrong though, it's important to that in a relationship. Plus, it would be best if you and Meiko where to engage in sex after your highschool year. After all, both you and Meiko still have the rest of your school year."
Matsuri pondered for a moment before a defeated expression appeared in his face. "I just realized…Meiko is in her third year…after that she will graduate…I wonder if she'll wait for me until I can stand by her side."
Suzumei didn't say anything as she looked at the boy in front of him who held a nervous look.
"I want to stay by Meiko's side…I…I'll become an adult and continue to be by her side."
The teacher blinks at the student. Her eyes widened, not saying a word. Or can even find a word to say to him. All she could do was look at the boy in front of her who was looking at her with a determined look, despite shaking.
"Matsuri, mind if I ask you a question?"
"Huh?"
"In your eyes, what makes an adult?" She asked.
"What makes one…" Matsuri's eyes look up at the ceiling, thinking hard. "Um…well…there really isn't a definite answer…at least to me there isn't. But I guess one of the elements of being an adult is taking on responsibilities."
Suzumei lets out a big breath of relief. "Oh thank god, for a second there I thought you were going to say something like 'losing your virginity' or something."
"I'm not Kiyoshi or the other boys. I only see that as bragging rights on some occasions."
Suzumei chuckled a little. "Well, it's nice to see that you're at least level-headed about this."
Matsuri pondered for a moment. "So…we can…still engage in making out with each other."
"Well, you can take your time. Such as exploring each other's bodies and all that. But that's as far as you can go. You two are to stay within...something like the vanilla area. Do I make myself clear?"
"Y-Yes."
"Good. Now if that's all you need, off you go."
"Thank you, Suzumei-sensei."
Matsuri got up from his seat and made his way towards the door. Just as he was about to leave…
"Matsuri." The boy stops as he turns to see Suzumei. "Sometimes, kids and teenagers believe that us adults are here to ruin their lives. But in reality, we're here to protect them from getting hurt or making a mistake in their lives. When you find out what makes a proper adult, come back to me and let me hear your answer."
Matsuri nodded before he left the room.
Suzumei gave out a sigh as she leaned against her chair. A soft smile appeared on her lips. "Kids these days…sure does bring back a lot of memories."
-Hallway-
Matsuri was walking down the hallway, deep in thought. "Well…it's not like neither of us know how to have sex to begin with. Considering that Meiko has been following Mari around. And I…well…I don't know either."
As he was deep in thought, he looked up to see Meiko walking down the hallway. The boy ran up to the teen.
"Meiko!"
The gray-haired teen stops as she turns her head over her shoulder. "Oh, Matsuri."
The boy walks up to the girl's side with a smile. "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Same to you. Any particular reason why you were here as well?"
"Ah. Well…I was just asking Suzumei-sensei something…what about you?"
Meiko flinched. Her cheeks flushed red as she averted her gaze from Matsuri. "U-Um…w-well…I was asking Takamoto-sensei for something as well. Nothing too important."
Matsuri tilted his head in a curious manner. But don't pry too much into it.
"So, are you heading this way as well?"
"Yeah, I was on my way back to the dorm."
"I see. It's been a while since we walked together."
"Yeah. I don't mind."
Matsuri and Meiko walked down the hallway together. Walking side by side. The boy's eyes couldn't help but look next to the girl. His eyes couldn't help but to look at the way her hips swayed from side to side. Her skirt fluttered slightly in the air. The boy's cheeks flushed red as he averted away from her.
"Say, Matsuri…"
"Huh?"
"...This year…is my last year at this school." Meiko said with a sad tone. "I'll graduate soon…but that would mean both of us won't be able to see each other as much."
Matsuri looks at the girl with a sympathetic expression. Not saying a word but listening to her feelings.
"To be honest…can't help but to feel a little scared…of the future that lies ahead of us. I do wish that everyday was like this. So that we can always be together, having fun, talking with each other. So on and so forth. But…" Meiko stopped for a moment, her hand over her heart. "I know I don't have the power to stop time and I know it's a selfish wish and all. But I can't help it, I want to spend everyday with you."
Matsuri blinks at the girl, feeling her sadness. He fiddled with his finger a little before looking at the girl with a determined look.
"We will."
"H-Huh?" Meiko looked over her shoulder.
"We will always be together. Even though we will spend less time with each other, we will still be with each other in the near future." Matsuri said as he looked at the girl.
Meiko's eyes widened with sparkles in her eyes. She was left with heavy breathing, small beads of sweat dripping against her skin. A small smile graced her lips as she walked over to the boy. Before Matsuri could even react, she kissed the boy on the lips, he went stiff as he looked at the girl with a fierce blush flushed on his cheeks.
Meiko merely chuckled. Leaning into Matsuri's face. "You truly know how to cheer me up, do you?"
Matsuri didn't say anything but was just caught off guard by her kiss. Meiko turned around and walked, followed by Matsuri who just recovered from his reaction.
"Meiko…I wish for the same thing as well…I really do wish to stay by your side…forever."
-Omake- [Finding a Lost Dog]
Around the forest area, near the school ground. Matsuri and his friends were walking through the woods. Matsuri was carrying a net and a pet carrier with him. Behind him was Etsuko, Tsubaki, Yukina and Megumi.
"I must say, this is a rather odd job, wouldn't you say?" Yukina asked as she flipped her hair behind her.
"I mean, it's not all that bad. At least this job should be easy." Tsubaki said.
"Yeah, according to Mari, she heard from Kate that a couple of students came across a dog that was here roaming the area near the school campus." Etsuko said with a merry tone.
Yukina held a curious expression. "But a dog. Really? Shouldn't we just call animal control?"
"On just one dog? Shouldn't be a problem, besides, according to Etsuko she heard the dog was just a grown puppy." Matsuri said.
"I mean, don't quote on it, but I did hear there were some rumors about it being a puppy." Etsuko said as she ran ahead.
"So you know where it is?" Megumi asked.
Etsuko ran up ahead, peering through the bushes. "Now then where-"
She stopped dead in her tracks. Looking ahead, was a rather big snoring fluffy dog, almost covered in fur. Its face had some scratches on it, through its eyes and on its nostril. Floppy ears that dropped on the side of its face. The giant beast slept soundly, taking up enough space where it lays.
The group made it up to where the girl was standing, spotting the dog from afar. All of them immediately had blood run cold with dread dripping against their skins. Yukina hiding behind Tsubaki who was shaking like a leaf and Etsuko hiding behind Matsuri.
"I-Is that it?" Matsuri asked.
"Y-Yup, I guess that's it." Etsuko answered from behind the boy.
"THAT THING! THAT BEAST!? THAT IS NOT A PUPPY AT ALL! THAT'S A MONSTER!" Yukina yelled, clutching onto Tsubaki's arm.
"CAN YOU NOT CLUTCH ONTO MY ARM LIKE THAT!"
"I-I think that's a Borzoi…" Megumi said with a bit of a nervous stutter.
"A Borzoi?" Matsuri asked.
"Yeah, they're basically Russian dogs or something. Mainly used for hunting." Megumi said as she looked back at the dog. "But this is my first time seeing them in-person."
Matsuri looks back at the dog that was sleeping soundly. Despite its calm nature, it definitely didn't look friendly.
"Well." Matsuri looks at the small girl. "What are you waiting for, go get him."
"AS IF I REALLY CAN! I'M NOT GOING NEAR THAT!"
"Well we can't leave empty handed!" Tsubaki said.
"Absolutely! Matsuri! Go get him!" Yukina said from behind Tsubaki.
Matsuri groaned a little. He then looks towards Megumi who looks back at him with her hands crossed in front of her in the shape of an 'X'. "Not gonna happen."
"Oh come on! At least one of you should have my back!"
"We do have your back! Just not…you know…not too close!" Etsuko said with a fake bright smile.
"THAT DOESN'T HELP!"
As the group were arguing. The dog lifted its head and opened its mouth. Releasing a rather intimidating growl from its mouth. The group nearly jumped out of their skin as they ran further back away from the dog. The dog went back to sleep. The group were now hiding behind their own respective trees.
"SEE! SEE WHAT I MEAN! THAT IS NO DOG AT ALL! THAT IS A MONSTER! A HIDEOUS BEAST! I SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WE SHOULD CALL ANIMAL CONTROL!" Yukina yelled with great panic in her voice.
"Calm down would ya? Geez, why are you acting like the dog killed your family?" Tsubaki said.
"I-It's fine! All we need to do is to just capture it and bring it to its owner. S-Simple." Matsuri said with a stutter.
"Well we can't be here forever, we need to do something about it! What other victim will fall prey to this wolfhound!" Yukina said.
Matsuri took a deep breath as he looked back at the dog. "Alright, I'm gonna do it."
"That right Matsuri! Go! Go and capture this fiend who dares bring danger to our school! If you don't survive this, I will tell Meiko of your great feat!" Etsuko said.
"T-That won't be necessary." Matsuri said to the girl.
The boy stepped away from his hiding spot and approached the dog slowly. With his friends watching from behind. Matsuri walks closer and closer. Making sure not to wake it up. He could literally feel his heart pounding against his chest.
"Oh dear, it feels like I'm gonna faint from just watching this." Yukina said as she covered her eyes.
"You got this Matsuri!" Etsuko whispered from the tree.
Meanwhile, Matsuri approached the dog. Inching closer. "It's okay big boy. I'm not gonna hurt you. We just need to get you-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the dog shot open its eyes. Matsuri froze on the spot, looking straight into its eyes. All he saw was nothing but bloodlust as it glared right at him. Causing the boy to shake with fear. The dog stood up, immediately aiming at the boy.
"N-Nice boy…"
"Matsuri. Play dead. It won't notice you if you play dead." Etsuko whispered.
The boy, out of fear, collapsed on the ground, trying his best to lay lifeless on the ground. The dog raised a brow as it sniffed at the boy's hair. Despite shaking in fear, he was trying his best to stay dead.
"Wait." Megumi spoke as she looked at the small first year. "I thought that only worked on bears?"
"I thought it worked on dinosaurs to be honest." Tsubaki added to the conversation.
"..." Etsuko didn't say anything but just gave a slight nervous smile.
"RUN MATSURI! RUUUUUUUUN!" Yukina yelled.
Immediately Matsuri got up as fast as he could and ran towards the others.
"WAIT! DON'T LEAD IT TOWARDS US!" Tsubaki yelled.
But it was too late, Matsuri and the others were already on the run. Tsubaki ran with Etsuko on her back and carried Yukina in a bridal position. Matsuri and Megumi running like hell. All five of them were screaming as they ran away from the dog that was running towards them.
"THIS IS EXACTLY HOW MY MOM TRAINED ME BACK WHEN I WAS JUST AN INNOCENT LITTLE GIRL!" Yukina yelled.
…..
And that's a wrap. Another important step in Matsuri and Meiko's relationship reached. But of course, what lies ahead of their future? How will the two stay together forever? A story for another time. Tomorrow is the day. The party that celebrates a new chapter into their story. Next time is the conclusion to the Tanabata arc…
I do feel like this chapter is very important to Matsuri and Meiko's relationship. Despite wanting to grow further into a relationship, they do not know how to have 'sex' or even understand what to even do first. Both of them, at the same time, receive the talk from the adults within the story. This is something I feel needed to be spoken out because it's something I don't see nowaday (especially in fanfic stories). When it concerns the importance of what to have in a relationship, this is never really discussed. I can understand that people would rather see some 'actions' instead of hearing the talk, but I do feel that something like this is also important.
Some things I wish to point out with this chapter. The element of Meiko not knowing what sex is. I'm gonna be honest, I've been doing some thinking and believe that Meiko doesn't really know how to have sex or doesn't fully understand what to do in a relationship. Due to being with the USC and blindly following Mari, she doesn't have a full grasp concept on what to do. Neither does Matsuri. This is something that both Matsuri and Meiko can experience together and further develop their relationship in the near future.
Originally, this chapter was gonna be the 'smut' scene between the two, because I was going to dedicate the entire chapter to the party which is the next one after this. But either way, the story arc will end on a positive note as we head into the next story arc.
Anyways, the next chapter is the last chapter of the Tanabata arc. We have finally made it to the end. But it will NOT be the final chapter of the story. After this arc, we will enter the home stretch of the story. You guys are not prepared for what is about to come.
As always, leave a review for feedback, stay safe. Don't forget, my story is available on both Fanfic and A03 (archive of our own) under the same name. And I will see you all in the next chapter!
