The sky was dull and cloudless, a uniform grey, with a gentle breeze carrying fine rain, washing the streets.
This unchanging scene blurred the sense of time.
Listening to the rain that never stopped outside the window, the two didn't know how long they had been studying.
Feeling sleepy, Sasaki stretched a big lazy stretch.
To be honest, when facing the combined attacks of Natsuha, Momo and the others, Sasaki never felt tired.
But pretending to understand while listening to a morning of tutoring, he actually felt more exhausted than fighting a group alone.
Sure enough, when facing things one isn't interested in, energy is always lacking.
Pulling his arms back, Sasaki lazily lay on the low table, hands cushioning his head, tilting to watch Kasumi who was checking his homework.
Her side profile was round, fair, with a faint cherry-blossom-like pink flush.
The front strands of hair tucked behind her ear, because of her lowered head, gently slid past the groove of her ear in Sasaki's line of sight and hung down her cheek.
Perhaps out of habit, or because it was in the way, after the strands fell she lifted her jade-like little hand again and tucked the hair behind her ear once more.
It was clearly a very ordinary action, but in Sasaki's eyes it was extremely seductive, perhaps because of her focused seriousness, or perhaps because beautiful people look good doing anything.
In short, Sasaki couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.
He sat up straight, and while Kasumi was completely unaware, he gently bit her cheek that was a little rounder than his other girls.
It didn't hurt, but it interrupted Haruno Kasumi's focus on checking homework.
After all, the girl had never been bitten on the cheek before.
Looking at her lover, Kasumi tilted her head lightly in confusion.
Very smoothly creating distance, she used the back of her hand to lightly wipe the wet mark on her cheek, helplessly glaring at her mischievous lover. "Really, why did you suddenly do that? I was correcting your problems for you."
Although Sasaki didn't dare do anything too intimate for fear of losing control... simple kisses and cuddles were still fine.
Shifting his body, he wrapped his hands around Kasumi's slender, soft waist that was covered by the loose short-sleeve, then bit another small piece of soft flesh on her cheek.
"Don't like it?"
Seeing her lover being affectionate with her, how could she not be happy, but right now she was checking his wrong answers.
However, she really didn't understand why her lover suddenly became proactive again.
After all, just a few moments ago he...
Thinking about it, Haruno Kasumi put down the workbook in her hand and turned to hug her lover's neck.
Originally she thought, since she had already taken the initiative to show intimacy, her lover should lose control and do some other things.
For example... grab her soft, healthy growing melons, touch the pink butterfly whose wings got wet from the rain, things like that.
But her lover only bit her cheek once, and then there were no more moves.
This contrast between expectation and reality falling through made Kasumi's chest feel a little stuffy.
It was like scratching an itch through a boot, leaving her feeling uncomfortable all over.
This... this was just too bullying, right.
Was Fuyumi deliberately punishing her?
But why?
As her beautiful eyes fell into a daze from being lost in thought, Haruno Kasumi stared blankly at her lover who had sat up straight.
She wanted to ask what was going on... but she still hadn't figured out how to phrase it.
After a moment, the girl took a deep breath, calmed the stifled feeling in her chest, and picked up the workbook again.
Since most of the questions were multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank, the girl checked them very quickly.
As time passed, the serious look between her brows slowly faded as she smiled and handed the workbook with the marked mistakes to her lover:
"Even though it's not all correct, the wrong parts are all things involving other knowledge points we haven't reviewed yet. It's normal to get them wrong. Getting this far already is really amazing, you know."
This wasn't empty flattery.
It was genuine praise.
Her little brother Ayato had done the exact same questions, but Fuyumi's accuracy was way higher than Ayato's.
Mm... she didn't really want to compare them like this, but she'd only ever tutored her brother and him.
So she could only compare those two.
Sasaki took the workbook, glanced at the circled errors, tilted his head and blinked at her. "It's because Kasumi teaches so well. So detailed and patient. Being with you really is the best."
Blushing slightly from her lover's words, Kasumi Haruno leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Me too... being with Fuyumi makes me really happy."
As she spoke, the girl pressed her dangerously tempting curves against him without any hesitation.
Feeling that soft heavy warmth spilling onto his chest, the boy's breathing grew hot and unsteady without permission.
Fuck.
They were so close and she could sense the change just from the way his breaths came faster.
Knowing that her lover was starting to think naughty thoughts, Kasumi Haruno, who had been teased back and forth several times before, took the initiative this time, reaching out her small hand.
But before her fingers could even brush the hard "sword in the stone", she heard her lover suddenly say:
"It's already noon... time flies by so fast."
Like a thief caught mid-theft of a sacred treasure, her hand that had just rested on his thigh jerked back instantly.
Pretending to act normal, Kasumi twirled a strand of hair around her finger near her ear, tilted her head to hide her burning face, and said softly.
"It's already noon... it's still raining outside. Fuyumi, do you want to stay for lunch?"
With the excuse of discussing work with Sister Akane, Sasaki could stay out all day anyway.
Staying just for lunch was obviously fine.
"Mm, sure."
No hesitation. Right after she asked, he agreed.
The moment the words left his mouth, satisfaction curved her lips into a smile.
Last time he stayed for a meal too, but Ayato had been there so they never got any alone time.
Now it was just the two of them.
Even if they did nothing at all, just feeling each other's presence made her heart full and happy.
The girl waited a little until the heat in her face died down, then braced herself on the low table and stood up:
"Then I'm heading to the kitchen. Is there anything you want to eat?
We have everything at home~"
?
Like she'd hit a trigger word, he reflexively shot back:
"I want to eat you."
"..."
Her foot that was about to step forward froze as she stared wide-eyed in shock.
Once Kasumi processed what he'd actually said, the lingering blush on her pretty face exploded into full crimson at visible speed.
The scorching heat from her cheeks seemed to steam up into her eyes.
Those clear pupils gradually turned glossy and wet.
Her plump creamy thighs under the shorts squeezed together helplessly, barely holding up her suddenly weak, shaky body.
She didn't know what expression to make, what to say... biting her plump glossy lower lip, fists clenched tight, she hesitated.
They hadn't been dating long... properly speaking, they shouldn't know each other deeply enough for that kind of thing yet.
So she could just laugh it off as a joke.
But she liked him so much... plus the influence from the girls' circle around her meant she didn't actually reject the idea of giving herself to him.
Still... actively agreeing out loud was a little too hard for her.
Seeing the conflicted, tempted look on her face, and noticing that she truly seemed on the verge of agreeing, Sasaki quickly laughed it off.
"My apologies, my apologies, just a joke. Kasumi, you don't have to take it seriously."
After all, he didn't want to give control to his lower body and devour her right now, resulting in blowing up the foundation of his Harem.
So, in the end, he just smiled, and stood up. "Weren't you going to cook? Let's do it together. It'll be faster with two people."
The girl didn't know what to say.
However one thing for sure.
The fragile balloon of courage slowly inflating in her chest popped with those two sentences.
She let out a breath, not sure if it was relief or disappointment.
Afraid he'd notice how strange she was acting, she quickly gathered her messy emotions, gave a light smile:
"Mm."
Walking side by side out of the room with him, not wanting the atmosphere to turn awkward, she started the conversation. "Fuyumi, you can cook too? How good are you?"
Their school had home economics class, but it was usually group work, one person's result counted for the whole team.
So plenty of guys couldn't cook at all.
Hearing him offer to help now surprised her a little.
"Just average. I can only make basic stuff. The food I make... well... let's just say it's edible."
"That's already really good then."
"You're the amazing one. Top grades and your cooking is delicious too..."
Trading little compliments that made both their hearts flutter, they arrived in the kitchen together.
Kasumi took the apron hanging on the wall and draped it over her wrist.
At this moment, Sasaki turned around. Under her puzzled gaze, his hands settled on the outward curve of her hips.
"Fuyumi... what are you..."
He spun her in a circle so her back faced him, then leaned in, pressing against her smooth curved backside while tying the apron for her.
"Tying your apron. What's wrong?"
She was a full head shorter than him... he could feel his chin resting right on top of her head.
Kasumi, who was completely enveloped in his arms, felt like she was leaning against a blazing furnace.
That solid, safe, warm embrace made her whole body heat up... So hot her throat dried, limbs turning soft and boneless.
At the same time her head grew dizzy from the warmth, like her reason was melting away.
Unable to help herself, she let all her weight sink back against his chest.
Her tits rose and fell under her clothes as she shook her head.
"It's nothing... nothing..."
Well ...even if she didn't say it, Sasaki knew she had no strength left and was leaning on him like that.
He was about to tell her to brace on the counter so he could finish tying the strings, but...
Imagining that position, her bent over like she was ready to take a pounding, he sucked in a sharp breath and killed that dangerously tempting idea that would force him to make a mistake.
But if she didn't hold the counter, how the hell was he supposed to tie it with her plastered against him like this?
...After confirming the apron was clean, he brought the frilly neckline up to her mouth.
However, Kasumi's mind was foggy, and she didn't know what he was offering, and just instinctively parted her lips.
Only after it was in did she realize she'd bitten down on the apron.
"Hold on, almost done."
After tying the top strings, Sasaki slid his hands down her smooth back, reaching her slender waist.
Mm... compared to other girls, Kasumi's waist was a little fuller, softer, and fleshier.
The feel under his fingers was insanely good, plush and addictive.
He gave two light squeezes.
She shivered hard in his hold as he finally tied the apron strings.
He tugged the damp, saliva-wet neckline straight, then turned her around to face him.
"All done."
Unable to bear her lover's habit of teasing her to the edge and then running off, Kasumi Haruno took a deep breath and took the apron he was about to put on, into her hands.
"I want... to help you too."
"Sure."
It was no big deal.
Sasaki didn't take it to heart, and asked with a smile.
"How do you want to tie it? Should I bend down a bit?"
"No need, no need."
Stopping his attempt to bend down, the girl held the apron strings with both hands and stood on her tiptoes.
"I can reach."
She was a head shorter, but tiptoeing to reach behind his neck was still easy.
But there was one problem... with her curvy stacked figure, how would she maintain balance while on tiptoes?
The thought barely crossed his mind before she answered it.
She leaned fully against him without any shame as her soft pale little hands reached up behind his head.
Although there was clothing between them, Kasumi was so well-endowed, and she was leaning against him so completely, her huge tits mashed hard against his chest... the pressure right on his heart made him instinctively step back:
"Kasumi, if I bend it'll be easier for you to tie, right?"
However, Kasumi didn't back off.
Although she knew it was uncomfortable for him, he'd done the exact same thing to her earlier, why can't she do the same.
With that thought, the girl bit back a smile, twisted her little waist stubbornly. "I'm almost done already. Don't move away. If you keep dodging I'll have to start over."
"..."
Now Sasaki couldn't hold it anymore...
He was never some pure-hearted monk to begin with.
When his girlfriend kept kneading him like dough like this, it was impossible not to...
But like this... she should back off, right?
Thinking that, he stopped retreating.
"..."
Pressed so tight against him, although she wanted to...but there was no way she could ignore the thick hard bulge throbbing against her stomach, right.
Although she wanted to pull back, but then she'd lose this perfect chance for "revenge"... plus she'd already traded dirty words with that thing before, it wasn't exactly unfamiliar.
So she tried her best to suppress the shyness in her heart and helped her lover tie the apron.
Maybe because she wasn't tall enough, her arms not long enough... she even hopped a few times on her toes.
"..."
Now he was going to explode... face flushing red then pale from her teasing, breathing in the sweet scent wafting from her hair, he dropped his head in misery and rested his forehead on her shoulder:
"Stop... stop bullying me already."
Her fair delicate neck broke out in goosebumps from his hot ragged breaths as she shrank her neck a little and laughed.
"What's wrong? Why say that?"
Why say that...
Sasaki huffed through his nose, hands gripping her shoulders and pushing her down slightly, intending to let her feel exactly what was wrong with his own mouth.
However Kasumi had already half-expected him to bully her like this.
So, even though her face burned red, she didn't resist at all.
