Aiko's eyes sparkled as she held out a spoonful of silky pudding toward the little boy sitting on her lap. "A-Chan~ Say ahh!" she cooed, rocking side to side as if soothing a sleepy kitten.
Asahi giggled, his cheeks puffing just a little before he opened his mouth and leaned forward, the spoon slipping in with practiced ease. "Mmm! It's sweet!"
Aiko melted like the dessert itself. "Of course it is! Only the sweetest pudding for the sweetest little guy!" She pulled him closer and nuzzled his cheek, completely losing herself in her A-Chan bubble.
Meanwhile, across the room, Shin leaned in and whispered something in Ai's ear, his voice low and mischievous. "Hey, I'm gonna take Yuki to the corner for a sec."
Ai blinked, then slowly turned toward him with a familiar pout. "Again? You better not tease him too much, or I'll take your pudding privileges away."
Shin grinned. "I'll be gentle," he promised, before placing a quick kiss on her cheek.
Ai rolled her eyes, but her smile gave her away. "You're impossible."
Shin took a step back and casually reached down, slipping his hand into Yuki's without warning. "Come on, Kiddo."
Yuki's face turned pink instantly. "Wha–?! W-Where are you dragging me, idiot?!" His voice cracked with tsundere panic, but he didn't actually pull away.
As Shin started walking off with him, Asahi looked up from Aiko's lap. "Where's Onii-chan going? I wanna come too!"
Aiko gently tightened her hold on him. "Hmm? But I was about to feed you more pudding…"
Shin turned around and smirked. "Hey, Buddy—if you stay with Ama-Chan like a good boy, I'll give you a kiss on the cheek later."
Asahi blinked and tilted his head. "How many?"
Shin snorted. "As much as you want."
Asahi looked uncertain… then slowly nodded. "Okay. But I want three."
"You got it," Shin laughed and turned back toward the hallway, tugging Yuki along with him.
Yuki was already red from ear to ear. "I can walk on my own, baka…"
As soon as they stepped out into the hallway and turned the corner, Shin stopped and gently pressed Yuki's back against the wall.
"W-What are you doing?!" Yuki yelped, flailing slightly as Shin took both his wrists and held them up over his head.
Shin leaned in with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Just wanted a quiet moment with my favorite soft-spoken tsundere."
"I-I'm not soft-spoken—! Let me go, you idiot!"
Shin chuckled, bringing his face closer. "You really wanna run?"
Yuki looked away, flustered. "Tch… who said anything about running…"
Shin smiled, his breath warm against Yuki's cheek. "Exactly."
He lowered his voice to a teasing whisper. "You know, I really like it when you act all tough… It makes it even better when I get to see you blush like this."
"B-Baka…" Yuki muttered again, but his voice had softened. The fight was leaving him second by second.
"You belong to me too, remember?" Shin whispered as his lips brushed softly against Yuki's.
Yuki gasped slightly—but didn't pull away.
Let's continue this scene in a way that keeps it intimate, romantic, and flirty—focused on Shin's teasing and Yuki's tsundere reactions, while respecting platform guidelines. Here's the continuation of Chapter 152:

Shin's breath lingered just inches from Yuki's lips, their closeness sparking static in the small space between them.
"You're trembling," he murmured, his voice low, teasing.
"I-I'm not!" Yuki blurted, cheeks flushed crimson as he twisted slightly in Shin's grip. "It's just c-cold here!"
"In a heated hallway?" Shin tilted his head. "Liar."
With a smirk, he leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of Yuki's mouth. The boy tensed, letting out a barely audible squeak, trying not to react. But the slight twitch of his fingers and the way his knees tilted inward gave him away.
"Stop… d-doing that," Yuki mumbled, eyes darting around, flustered beyond reason.
"Doing what?" Shin's lips brushed across Yuki's jawline. "This?" He planted a soft kiss there, then another lower on his neck. "Or this?" He let his mouth linger just at the edge of Yuki's collar.
Yuki's legs fidgeted. "Y-You're such a jerk…"
"Mm-hmm," Shin hummed, clearly enjoying the game. "But I'm your jerk, right?"
"I didn't say that—!" Yuki yelped as Shin's hands slipped from his wrists, only to settle around his waist, drawing him close. Yuki's hands ended up gripping Shin's shirt in protest, but he made no move to push him away.
Shin chuckled low, brushing their foreheads together. "You never say it, but your body's honest."
"I'll kick you—!"
"You won't."
Shin bent down and kissed the center of Yuki's neck, warm and slow, feeling the boy twitch against him. One hand traveled lower, resting over the curve of Yuki's hip, fingers squeezing lightly.
Yuki's back arched with a sharp gasp. "D-Don't touch there!"
"But it makes you squirm so nicely," Shin whispered, letting his lips trail up again, back toward Yuki's ear.
"I-It doesn't—! I swear if you—mmph!" His protest was cut short as Shin finally captured his lips in a full kiss.
Yuki froze for a beat, shocked still—but then he melted just a little, his grip tightening in Shin's shirt. It was clumsy and shaky and filled with flustered heat, but Shin kissed him like he had all the time in the world.
He pulled back just slightly, noses still brushing. "Still cold?" he teased, his tone gentle now.
Yuki looked like he was about to combust. "Sh-Shut up…"
Shin leaned in again, trailing a few softer kisses along his cheek and then down to his neck again, his grip tightening around the small of Yuki's back.
Yuki squirmed, cheeks burning. "You're awful… totally, totally awful…"
"And you're adorable." Shin grinned, resting his forehead against Yuki's once more. "You're so cute when you're mad. Or flustered. Or pouting. Or pretending not to like this."
Yuki covered his face with both hands. "Stop saying stuff like that!"
"Why? It's all true." Shin lifted one of Yuki's hands and kissed the back of it. "You're mine, after all."
Yuki peeked between his fingers. "You already said that to Aiko. And Ai. And Asahi…"
Shin smirked. "And now you."
Yuki huffed. "You're so greedy…"
"You knew that when you fell for me, didn't you?"
"I didn't fall—!"
"Then what's this?" Shin squeezed him gently again, making Yuki jolt. "Your heart's racing."
Yuki tried to shove him away with little fists, but they barely budged Shin's chest. "You're the worst!"
"And yet you're not running," Shin said with a wink.
Yuki went redder than a strawberry and mumbled under his breath, "Stupid Onii-chan…"
"What was that?"
"N-Nothing!"
Shin gave him one last kiss on the forehead, his hand cupping the back of Yuki's head.
Yuki mumbled something in protest, but his arms slowly wrapped around Shin's waist, hiding his face in his chest.
