SPR

"Eh? He discharged himself? Naru just decided by himself to leave the hospital? " Mai gave a look of disbelief when Masako beside her nodded. With the case having ruined their clothes, the girls along with the other guys opted to go shopping. It took a while for Mai to pick anything as she wanted to save some money but Ayako had assured them that Akemi would pay for everything for the dozenth time.

"Yes, Naru declared that he was leaving the hospital, and it appears that even the doctors couldn't stop him." Masako added, making those people in the van (Ayako having asked to use it for it to accommodate all of them instead of the four seater car) give out a sigh.

"Seriously, that little man sure is a tough nut to crack." Ayako snarks, shaking her head as she took a turn, having given up knowing Naru's temper. "Well, if it was really anything serious then the doctors would've have stopped him no matter what." Another huff came out from her lips, muttering. "What a selfish person he is."

Mai gave out a grimaced smile, a weak laugh passing by her lips. "I see..."

Naru had collapsed during the investigation, and thank goodness for the ambulance already waiting outside for them that he was sent to the hospital along with the others rather quickly. Yasuhara and John fortunately only had bruises and a few gashes of wounds making them leave the hospital at that same day however Bou-san had a few more problems with his back and so had to sty for a while longer with Akemi and Naru. After realizing their lack of available clothing, those that were deemed able to leave the hospital have decided to buy clothes tomorrow— which is now today.

Mai leaned back to her seat, glancing on the view outside to still seeing the harsh waves of the ocean.

'Akemi-sempai had fortunately woken up in her hospital bed last night with no problems whatsoever except for the news of her permanent blindness, she had called Ayako to inform them of it and at the same time ask them how they were,' when she found out they planned to buy clothes— the heiress insisted to treat them. Letting them take her card and wallet that she had left on the Yoshimi Inn.

And right now, on their way back to the Inn, they were informed of Naru's discharge on the hospital. Mai pouted, her brows furrowed as she thought deeply about Naru's actions. 'What's with him leaving the hospital on his own...I was so worried about him...'

Mai perked as she realized something, "So, does that mean Naru, Bou-san and Akemi-sempai will be coming back to the inn right now with Lin-san?"

The others nodded at her question, Yasuhara sitting on the passenger seat turned to look back at Mai. "Shibuya-san has already messaged us to pack up the equipment once we get there if we can."

Mai felt a vein throb, "What? He already expects us to work so early!?"

"Now, now what do you expect? It's Naru." Ayako shrugs, the view of the Yoshimi Inn already in sight. "Besides, Naru said the we should pack if we can. That doesn't mean we have to do it, you know~?"

Mai sighs, realizing that she was right. "Mouh! Naru has always been like this!"

John gives out a genuine smile, his voice holding his respects. "It is a consistent thing with Shibuya-san, he doesn't fail on expectations."

Ayako scoffs, her voice coming off as taunting but one could tell the softness in her gaze if they were to look. "If anything he surpasses expectations— that brat, who would have thought he would apologize after just waking up."

Mai blinked, watching as everyone of them nodded in agreement. "Naru, apologized to you guys? personally?"

"Not personally since he's still in the hospital with Akemi and Lin-san, but he gave me a call as soon as he woke up." Yasuhara announces, the others voicing their agreement.

Mai remained stunned, but deep inside her heart couldn't help but flutter. 'Mouh, he's always like this...' The van had already stopped as Ayako parked it. Letting the others get out one by one. 'He's always so arrogant and narcissistic— then he would be selfish and rude but...' Mai took out her shopping bags, helping the others with theirs while she was at it. 'Naru is also honest and responsible. He admits to his own faults and at times, his kindness comes through as he always does things with good intentions... He would be rude and bossy at first then would apologize to each one that were harmed and he would even comfort clients in cases, why can't he make up his mind?! Is he a good guy or plain narcissistic? Just pick one!'

Mai gave a weak smile as she thought of his attributes, the longer she thought of it, the more her heart churned. 'And I guess that's why its so hard to let him go...'

YOSHIMI INN

"Please, how can we ever repay you?" With the fear that threatened generations of their ancestors no longer able to torment them, the Yoshimi family wanted to pay the SPR group for what they had done for them especially when they found out that they don't accept payments that involve cash. This was something to celebrate even!

The head of the Yoshimi family smiled, waiting for any requests from the SPR as they stood in front of them with their equipment already packed. The SPR had stayed for atleast a week more to help the Yoshimi family. Naru had stated that he didn't want to leave the family right after everything that had happened with their place and dismiss them right at their vulnerable state. This led the Yoshimi family to further pray for them in their heart.

"No payment is necessary, we were just doing our jobs." Naru quickly dismissed the idea of payment but the Yoshimi family didn't really have anything in mind and still wanted to give anything they could on their last stay, well that was until Akemi had chimed in.

"Ara~ An Onsen would be a nice change of pace, don't you think so everyone?"

At the mention of an Onsen, the greedy part of the SPR ignited with energy.

"An Onsen? I want to go!" Mai cheered.
"Me three~!" Yasuhara raised his hand along.

"Uwah! That sounds like fun, way to go Akemi-dono!" Bou-san gleefully nodded.

The four of them already squirming in excitement, trying their best to ignore the sudden icy atmosphere around a certain someone. The greedy part of the SPR indeed.

Akifumi brightened, if he noticed the cold glare, he didn't let it show. "Really? We just happened to branch out to an Onsen, it already finished construction months ago but the opening got held off due to the circumstances. We would be delighted if you guys are our first customers!" The excitement of the four grew and they immediately turned to Naru with bright eyes.

"..!" Naru felt the intense stare, waiting for his decree. He didn't want to stay but Bou-san and the others pleaded him further, using their hardship on the case to change the man's opinion. It took a while, a few minutes of forced tears and whining but worth the effort as Naru shockingly agreed.

Akemi giddily hopped in her place, chanting as she danced. "Onsen~! Onsen~! Onsen~!"

'Well, it's good to have her back in high hopes.' The others thought as they watched Akemi's cheery disposition.

While Naru remained glaring at the cheery heiress, knowing fully well this was planned and he let himself fall for it.

[At the Onsen - Ladies Hot Spring]

"Don't forget to fold your clothes!" Ayako reminded them as they got inside and started taking off their clothes, helping each other as they went.

The trek towards the Onsen was not really that far. Just a 10 minute walk away from the Inn and they already stood infront of a traditional based looking entrance with a huge banner that spelled Yoshimi Onsen.

"Hai~!" Mai grinned, "Akemi-sempai, let's go! I want to wash your back!" Akemi nodded, fully excited for the experience and letting Mai wrap her arms around Akemi's, dragging her to clean up.

"Uwah! Akemi-sempai, you're skin is so soft!"

"Masako-chan, Ayako! You guys better hurry up too!"

"Mattaku, that girl sure can't wait." Ayako sighs but her endearing eyes didn't go unnoticed as Masako tried her best to remain stoic beside her as it's a first for her to go to an Onsen with friends.

And Ayako though seemed to have noticed this.

"What's this? Are you too shy?" Ayako teasingly poked Masako on her side, making the medium fluster.

"D-don't do that!" Seeing her reaction, Ayako kept poking.

"And a one and a two and a three!"

Laughter ensued around the women's area, a few yelps coming out but the atmosphere remained comfortable around them.

While for the men...

[Meanwhile in the Men's Hot Spring]

Bou-san smirked, his eyes glittering playfully as he stared at Naru and Lin when they stepped inside the men's hot spring.

"Ohoho! This is it! The perfect bonding between men!" Bou-san nodded as they all took in the view of their designated hot spring. It was open roofed, showing the perfect view of the nearby sea, and with the sun slowly setting, it gave a majestic moment for them all.

"Ohoho~ Naru-bou! I approve! I approve!"

"And what exactly do you approve of?" Naru scoffs, turning his back against the others as they continued taking off their clothing. Ignoring the sense of dread alerting him on the back of his thoughts. "Never mind. I don't need to know."

Yasuhara popped up beside him, already bare and grinning widely. "Shibuya-san! Want me to wash your back?"

"W-what?" Naru paused, the question catching him off guard making him frown at Yasuhara in suspicion. "What do you mean?"

Yasuhara and Bou-san blinked. Glancing towards Lin who shook his head while John remained smiling, happy to experience this with everyone.

"Naru-bou... don't tell me this is your first time in an Onsen?"

Naru frowned, his brows furrowed as he caught the dark gazes of Yasuhara and Bou-san. "And if it is?"

Hearing his response, a sly grin passed the lips of the two. Eyes bright with an unreadable expression. Naru crossed his arms over his chest, having a towel wrapped around his waist as he noticed their expression. The sounds of his senses warning him rang like a fire alarm in his head and tried to go back and grab his clothes but warmed hands grasped his bare arm.

The aloof boss nearly recoiled at the sensation of bare skin.

"—!?"
"Uwah! Naru-bou, I didn't know you had such soft skin! It feels like a baby's butt!" Bou-san and Yasuhara couldn't help but tease the first timer, 'they didn't know that Naru could actually act his age for once it was interesting! AHAHA.'

"Shibuya-san, it seems that you are not only gifted mentally but also physically, huh?"

Naru blanched at the expression of the two men, his instincts unknowingly kicking in as he took a step back. "You two... Whatever you are planning, I fully disagree!"

"Oh come on, Naru-bou! We're all men here! AHAHAH!"

Lin and John kept to themselves, turning to dip inside the Onsen as Bou-san and Yasuhara tried to bathe Naru, who had consideringly paled at the sight of the two bare men.

"So, did you have fun~?" Akemi loosely smiled, leaning close to a stiff Naru who simply glared at her, but after realizing she couldn't see it made him lower the arms crossed over his chest and his nose crinkling with his lips curling in distaste.

The SPR group were already wrapped in their robes, navy blue for men and maroon for women. Having already finished their Onsen experience, for Naru it was something he didn't wish to see ever again, but he had to admit— the hot spring like bath was relaxing to the body. After Bou-san and Yasuhara learned that Naru, Lin and John had never experienced an Onsen (there were Thermal Spas in Hong Kong but Lin never went to any of them), they had established themselves a promise to teach the ways of an Onsen expert and now, they suggested to go Karaoke when they saw it was available in the forms.

"Naru-bou~ want me to wash your back for you~?" Naru nearly recoiled at the memory while beside him Akemi kept smiling, waiting for his response.

Huffing, Naru simply says: "Don't make me go to an Men's Onsen again." His robe loosened just right to reveal slight of his chest, seeing it, Mai and Masako blushed at how comfortable Naru looked while waiting for Bou-san and Ayako to fill up their names for the Karaoke room.

Akemi heavily giggled, lifting a hand to cover her lips as she laughed, her cheeks flushed with her thoughts flowing elsewhere and it seemed Naru had read it like a book as his chin dipped down and hissed at her.

"Akemi!" The heiress further felt laughter on her lips, 'It's almost sounds like he's pouting hihi~!'

"Nante ne~ Ahaha!"

A few more seconds has passed before Akemi finally stopped laughing, having already read his aura. "Naru, want to play pingpong with me?"

Naru raised a brow, and Akemi sweatdropped when she felt his embarassed hostility that came off from him switch to smugness as he seemed to look down at her tauntingly due to her invitation.

"Table tennis? In your condition?"

The heiress gave out a soft smile but her eyes sharpened. "I may be blind now, but that don't mean I'm a defect, Naru. It may all the more be enjoyable when I beat you despite it."

His eyes darkened seeing her trap, Naru willingly took the bait. 'Beat...me?' Naru dangerously thought to himself.

Akemi gave out a wry smile when she saw how fiery his aura became as his competitiveness rose. She nearly felt a bead of sweat fall down her head when she realized Naru needed to let off some steam from the torments of Yasuhara and Bou-san as well as the slapping teasing she has been giving him all day. 'Well if it weren't for her, he would have been already on his way back to his office and none of the trauma he had went through would happen!'

"What's in it for me?" Hearing his low voice, Akemi shook her head with a smile. 'Of course, he needed an ultimatum.'

"Winner gets to have three wishes!" Akemi smirked in triumph at Naru's slience, knowing he was all in.

"Guys, we're all filled up. Let's go." Ayako called out to them but Naru spoke up without removing his narrowed gaze over Akemi's.

"We won't be joining for a while."

"Eh? What?"

Akemi breaking off their contact, gives them an elegant smile that spoke wonders. "Naru and I will be playing tabble tennis."

The rest blinked. Once. Twice. Thrice.

"EHH?!"

[TABLE TENNIS MATCH]

All of the group was present in the side benches, fully anticipating what could happen. It was all so... unexplainable at most.

One would never be able to see Naru, an aloof anti-social narcissistic teenager that is an owner and boss of Paranormal Research business that deals with exorcising and taking paranormal cases in whole Japan, smart, good-looks and with his show on the caves— has PK paranormal ability, is actually participating in an Onsen pingpong against Akemi, a gorgeous elegant woman well-known and idolized by all ages, upper class rich model heiress of Japan with sight problems and infinite paranormal abilities. It was near fiction at this point. No one would believe them if they even told this to someone else. Heck, no one would believe them even if they tell it to each other.

"Let's also consider this as a test for your intuition and abilities, shall we Maruyama-san?" Naru stood on the opposite of Akemi, tossing the pingpong ball up in the air and catching them as his eyes remained on his opponent.

Akemi twirled her raquet, sending him an already gloating smile. "Give me your best shot, Oh Powerful Wizard~!"

Yasuhara stood by the table to officiate the game, his eyes focused and lifting a hand to gesture the service. His mouth opened and with his words the game began.

"Give countries with stars on their flags." 'Countries with what?' Mai and the others perked in confusion.

"Sao Tome and Principe." Naru started off, sending the ball flying towards Akemi, who easily sent it back. "Papua New Guinea."

"Tokelau."

Mai felt her mouth fall open as she watched the two actually playing. "What the heck is going on?!"

"Djibouti." Sensing the hidden challenge, Naru and Akemia started listing either difficult countries or those unthinkable ones.

Akemi internally gave a chagrined smile, even she was stunned at Yasuhara's sudden addition to the game and Naru even hiking up the stakes.

Bou-san who sat beside the others on the bench let out a laugh. 'Naru-bou must have blurted out his answer without meaning to and it triggered Akemi to do the same, seriously these two kids! AHAHA!'

[AFTER GAME— KARAOKE TIME!]

"KARAOKE!" The monk and heiress clasped hands, clapping together as Bou-san led them to their chosen room.

It was pretty okay in size, with an LED screen plastered on the wall and a long wall couch that formed a bracket across from it with a table in between the two. Above them different colored lights that orbed around the room.

"Now, let me show you the true meaning of being in a band!" Mai and the others clapped for Bou-san as he was first to pick a song.

"Go Bou-san~!" Akemi cheered, her cheeks already flushed.

With the VIP voucher from the Yoshimi Family, the SPR group found out they have unlimited resource to the Drinks Bar which Yasuhara and John are ordering as of this moment. Yasuhara for the adults drink and John for his trustworthy innocence of bringing drinks for the underaged.

And it seemed it was a bad idea to have Yasuhara get the adult drinks, the now college man was unmerciful when it came to the adults and so not even an hour later in their Karaoke session: Akemi was downright drunk; Lin was slighlty flushed along with Yasuhara, Ayako and Bou-san— the three having a alcohol high tolerance; John and Naru having controlled themselves to keep drinking non-alcoholics and lastly, Mai and Masako though were drowsy tired as the night went on couldn't find it in themselves to leave all the fun as this was a rare occurence and so simply endulged themselves on singing.

2 hours later...

Ayako slurred, placing down her empty cup with her eyes glittering but one could tell she was still conscious. Mai and Masako on both sides of her were already unconscious, John worriedly checking up on them and planned on accompanying them back to the inn as he himself was tired. The girls' cheeks were a bit flushed after a tipsy Akemi made them try a few drinks. The only ones still sober enough was the men and Ayako.

Ayako surprisingly for a Miko, can hold her liquor. "Hey, Naru. I heard an interesting story..."

"And you want me to listen?" Naru's quick reply from the end of the couch where he had been sighing as he pulled a now very drunk Akemi to sit beside him when she nearly tripped back to her sit in the center after her dance song.

Ayako leans forward, "Right! I heard there wasn't a child before."

Naru looked at Ayako with a questioning look. The others too distracted from Yasuhara's goofy singing while Akemi gave Lin and Bou-san a few more drinks. The two accepting it without a word as they had found out that Akemi's drunk mannerism was handing out more drinks and sniffles when denied.

Ayako scoffs, smirking towards the guy. "Even though you told Mai and Akemi that an employee of yours before quit, when in truth there wasn't even an employee before! Why would you tell them that? Surprisingly, you're kind to Mai, aren't you?"

Naru was expressionless as he answered. While directing a cold gaze, lifting a hand to hold Akemi's wrist as she planned to give him another drink. He spoke without hesitation. "Are you jealous?"

Ayako reddened noticeably, while the drunk heiress laughed.

"Ayako's jealous~! J-E-L-L-O-S~!" Akemi sang beside Naru, who took the filled cup off her hands and while distracted placed it back pn the table. Akemi kept singing, waving her fingers as she kept spelling a gelatin dessert.

"Wait a—! Who, me?! Akemi, stop!"

Of course, Ayako was no match for Naru as he continued. "It's because I have a kind nature."

Hearing that, even Bou-san that was on the other end, laughed. "Yeah right!"

"Oh, it doesn't appear so? Don't I always kindly listen to your inane conversation?" Ayako put on a smile, her face twitching from Naru's quick responses.

"Aren't you actually interested in Mai?" Better yet, Ayako turned her gaze to a reddened Akemi. "Or is it Akemi you're pining over?"

Akemi giggles uncontrollably, exaggeratingly nodding as she points to herself with a heavy hand. "Oui~! Oui~!"

Naru smiled sweetly like a flower, not revealing whether her words bothered him or not but its disturbing since his eyes aren't smiling. "I'll offer you a denial because it's pathetic when you get sick with too much shock. Aren't I kind?"

'This- this narcissist!' Looking at Ayako, as one would expect, she was struck speechless, her mouth agape. She planned on unleashing every thought she could gather but it seemed another threat had risen as Akemi, who was beside Naru turned pale.

"Nawou~ I don't feel so good..." Akemi admitted, her English slurred and still butchered by her French accent. She held a hand to her chest and with that, Naru caugjt on what was going to happen and quickly stood up while pulling her along with him.

"I'm taking her outside for some fresh air." Naru says without looking back to the others and guiding Akemi out for her to puke everything she had drank. He'll accept and say any reason, just to get away from the noise.

AKEMI

"Blurgh—!" Akemi took a shaky breath in, her unfocused gaze trying to focus on where to barf as the voice beside her kept telling her to let it all out. A warm touch, patting her back as a gentle comfort. Akemi sniffled, thinking it was so nice of that person to comfort her while she puked.

"Are you crying?" Akemi heard someone ask behind her and she once again sniffled, nodding as an answer. "-Blurgh!"

A few more minutes passed when her stomach finally agreed with her, though it didn't mean she was still on her right mind. The voice guided her further, telling her what to do and she willingly followed. Firm hands guided her towards the sink, the faucet being opened and there she felt water cleaning up her mouth and chin.

"Take a few sips of water, clean up your mouth." Naru handed her a bottle and Akemi did as he had commanded. If following his words meant her throbbing head stops, then she would try to follow it to the best of her abilities.

But Akemi tried to lift up the bottle, her mouth opening to catch the liquid but none came.

SPLASH—!

The heiress looks to the side, down to see a puddle of water.

Akemi whimpered, turning her head to where Naru is frowning at her. "Nawou, the water didn't wash my mouth!"

Without a word, Naru gently took the half full bottle and directed it to her lips.

Akemi gargled the liquid and spitting it out to the sink with Naru's help and he even gave her a pack of candy in hopes to sober her up.

Akemi felt his warm hands place on the back of her waist, carefully nudging her to where she should go. It took a few minutes or so, she couldn't really tell. All Akemi knew was Naru smelled so good.

"Sit here." Akemi felt the cold breeze hit her drunkened heated skin, her behind sitting on one of the hard benches placed outside. Akemi felt her lips quiver when she felt the person sit beside her, 'This person's keeping me company?! How nice of him...'

Here she cries, without notice.

"A-akemi?" The heiress without as much as looking could see the slight waver of Naru's aura. Taken aback as this was no sniffles she gave but a pure tears.

"Nawou's been working too hard— hic!" Akemi let her tears flow, in her still drunken state already forgotten that the man she cries for is next to her. "Did you know that I suggested—hic! the hot spring because—hic! But it seems Nawou didn't like it!"

Naru frowned, Akemi having cut off her words in her rant having skipped a few parts. "Why did you suggest the onsen?"

Akemi shook her head, feeling it throb once more before she turns to where the man beside her is. Staring at him with beady puffed eyes. "I—hic! already know—hic! he is doing the best he can—hic! Even when the others think otherwise!"

Naru kept quiet, letting her rant thinking she'll stop soon. "They may call—hic! That handsome specimen—" Naru's brow perked at her words. Waiting. "Rude! Selfish! Narcissistic! Know-it-all! Cold-blooded—!"

The more she listed, the more Naru's brow twitched as he was given the unexpected, irked and slowly getting angry, Naru was nearing to stopping Akemi from continuing.

Akemi though remained oblivious to who she was talking to and began to smile, "But even if they said that, I could tell they respect him alot—hic..."

Naru observed her, seeing how she held such a knowing expression— "They do?" He couldn't help but ask.

Akemi firmly nods, though groaning when it swirled her head. "I could see how their auras light up—hic! When he solves cases... They admire his passion for helping others and— his dedication to his work to help those who are defenseless against the unknown..." Naru felt something in his chest flutter as Akemi cutely jazzed her hands as though to mimic how auras brightened while trying her best to stop her drunk hiccups. "When it comes to believing someone without question— We would place faith that Nawou could save us— They might not look it but—hic! We consider him and Lin as family..."

And as quick as she smiled, the quicker did her sniffles came back.

Naru was once again in unknown territory. "But it pains me—! Because he is in pain..."

Naru didn't know what to say, he only blinked as Akemi continued crying, reaching out his hand— he swiped away a few of her tears. "It pains me when he is in pain so I try to cheer him up—! But I think he doesn't like the onsen at all—hic!"

She kept sobbing, pulling away to lower her head down. Naru moves to kneel in front of her, placing his fingers on her chin, wanting to see every expression she made.

"A pretty lady like you shouldn't cry." Naru stared at Akemi, wiping away the tears that continuously falls on her cheeks with the back of his other hand.

Akemi sniffled, lifting her gaze to him. Staring vacant, knowing she won't see anything. "You— think I'm pretty?" And she said it so meekly and cute that Naru flinched. "Are my tears—hic! more precious than jewels for— you?"

"..."

When she didn't hear any reply, a few more tears gathered in her eyes, snapping Naru out of his thoughts. The sight of her making Naru chuckle lightly at how adorable she was drunk. This girl, seriously.

Naru once again started wiping her tears, but when it won't stop he shook his head and sighing. Grabbing her whole face in his hands, he firmly lifted them to his face. Wanting to see her majestic eyes, sparkling as it gathered tears in them— it was beautiful at the same time heartbreaking.

He asked, "Why were you trying to cheer me up?"

Akemi stopped crying, Naru once again wiping away her tears as she sniffled and twitched. "Isn't it—hic! obvious, can't you tell why I'm—! trying to cheer the evil scientist?"

Naru felt his lips quirk at the nickname she gave. Like coaxing a child, Naru spoke endearingly. "No, can you tell me?"

Akemi quiet, her head lulling to the sides but with Naru's hold it remained steady even if her brain said otherwise. Naru kept staring, waiting for her to speak and her purple eyes seemed to sparkle at the sight of him, and Naru's chest burned and the fluttering went down to his stomach as he knew it meant she had finally recognized him.

He had waited a few more before Akemi finally broke. "I like you, Oliver— not Oliver, my emotional support dog but the wonderful wizard of the SPR support, Oliver."

Naru's heart stopped. He wasn't expecting that.

Akemi's frail fingers reached out, holding the sides of his face, waking him from his frozen thoughts. She held him the same way he is holding her now, gently. With her head all heavy, she naturally falls forward and letting their foreheads lean towards each other and once again whispers:

"Professor Oliver Davis, I really like you..." Without a word, Naru lifts up his chin. "Hehe~ I like calling you more as Professor than Doctor Oliver Davi—"

CHU—

Naru pulls his chin back down, Akemi lifting her head back a bit as both were stunned. The two looking at each other quiet, both processing the kiss in different speeds.

"Did...you just kiss me?" Akemi slurred, cutely tilting her head to the side as she blinked at him slowly.

"I didn't." Naru snapped quick, panicked but unable to show it. Yet that didn't seem to deter Akemi as she drowsily frowned towards him and drunkenly thought if it wasn't Naru that kissed her then she must have been the one to kiss him.

"Then... Can I kiss you again?" Akemi slowly goes back in to letting their foreheads touch. Though with her state, she leaned more towards Naru and licked her lips, "Please?"

Saw what she had done and what she wanted, Naru lowered his shoulders that tensed when he realized what he had done. He moves his thumb and lets them go through the gap between their faces, running it over her lips.

And without waiting further after caressing, slides them to her chin and pulls to meet his lips and let her lips touch his again.
