They stepped through the arrival gate at Okinawa Airport.
The air was warm and salty, a welcome breeze brushing past them.
Kyouko walked beside him, graceful as ever despite the fatigue behind her eyes—and the soft pout on her lips.
"Mou~ you really didn't even let me rest…" she murmured under her breath.
Haruki smirked, pretending innocence as he rolled their small suitcase behind them. "What do you mean?"
She gave him a brief glare, then quickly looked away before others could see her flushed cheeks.
"You know what, Haruki…"
"Oh? You mean last night?" he leaned slightly closer, voice low and teasing. "That wasn't my fault. You were the one being too delicious."
Kyouko gasped quietly, her eyes darting around. "Haruki! We're in public—"
"I'm just telling the truth," he whispered again, lips near her ear. "You said we need to wake up early, but how am I supposed to sleep beside a goddess?"
She gently elbowed him, but her smile betrayed her.
"I'm sore… and I barely slept."
