After finishing with her hair, Kaoru enjoyed the bathwater his girlfriend had used.
Of course, this only meant they shared the same hot water in the tub—he didn't have any particular perverted desires.
When he returned to his room, Ichinose Honami who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, seemed startled and quickly hid her phone, tucking both hands behind her back as her gaze darted around nervously.
"What time do you usually go to bed, Honami?" Kaoru pretended not to notice her actions.
"Eh, I, I usually... go to bed around ten o'clock," Ichinose stammered slightly, particularly when mentioning the time.
She paused inexplicably for a brief moment, her tone dropping a few notes lower.
Kaoru checked the time—it was exactly 8:30 PM.
Was she expecting something?
"How about we chat for a bit?" Kaoru sat down beside her.
The faint fragrance of the girl wafted over, carrying the familiar scent of shower gel, more alluring than usual.
"W-what should we talk about?" Ichinose stiffened her posture.
The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted it—didn't that make her seem too nervous?
Kaoru thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, I can apply for permission to leave campus now. If you'd like to see your sister, I can take you out."
Ichinose froze for a while, her previously tense expression gradually softening.
She murmured, "Thank you... for always thinking so much about me."
"No, it's Honami who reminded me of things I should be doing." Kaoru didn't regret his past actions.
If not for that, the two might not have grown as close as they were now.
All he had to do was nurture this relationship step by step.
"But... I don't feel like I've corrected Kaoru at all. Instead, it's Kaoru who... who's led me astray," Ichinose said shyly.
"It feels like I've just been relying on Kaoru, enjoying all the benefits you've given me."
Kaoru's hand, resting on the edge of the bed, slowly moved over and took hold of the girl's small hand, intertwining their fingers before locking them together.
Softly, he whispered, "That's enough. I know Honami likes me, which is why you're willing to indulge in mischief with me."
"N-no, that's not it!" Ichinose shook her head slightly, as if trying to shake off her embarrassment. Her voice was tiny as she added.
"I... I want to do something for Kaoru too."
Kaoru turned his face toward her, gazing at the girl's delicate features before suddenly smiling.
"Alright, then kiss me right now."
Under his intense stare, Ichinose's face flushed red.
Her long lashes fluttered slightly, but she pressed her rosy lips together, leaned in slightly, and bravely kissed him.
"L-like this?" The girl didn't dare meet his eyes, her reddened ears drooping as if in shame.
"Mhm, close enough." Kaoru's throat moved slightly.
The girl before him was clad only in thin pajamas, her full chest seemingly ready to burst through the strained buttons, faintly outlining her voluptuous curves.
The slight rise of her flushed peaks drew his gaze, while her silky hair cascaded over her fair neck, adding to her delicate charm.
Her slender legs were pressed tightly together, poised like a well-behaved honor student.
"Not enough."
Under Kaoru's gaze, she kissed him again before burying her burning face against his chest.
"L-let's... do... something bad?"
As she threw herself into his arms, her incredibly soft chest pressed against him.
Her shoulders hunched slightly, and she couldn't bring herself to look at him.
Combined with those words, Kaoru felt his blood surging through his veins.
Thankfully, he had vented some energy over the past few days—otherwise, he might not have been able to suppress the impulse.
"Honami, what mischief are you up to?" Kaoru embraced the girl before him, his hand resting on her slender waist as a peculiar glint flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be that you wanted to stay over precisely to get naughty, you little minx Honami?"
"I-I don't know! And I'm not a minx!" Ichinose grew even more flustered, yet the emotions swirling in her heart compelled her to voice the question trembling on her lips.
"Y-you've... done it with Karuizawa-san, haven't you?"
Ahem. Kaoru cleared his throat.
"To be honest, I didn't plan it initially. She didn't refuse me, and then... we just did it."
Even to his own ears, the explanation sounded like something a scumbag would say, making him feel increasingly guilty.
"When did this happen?" Ichinose's voice gave no indication of her feelings.
With her face still buried in Kaoru's chest, her expression remained completely hidden.
After a moment's hesitation, Kaoru decided to come clean about his relationship with Karuizawa Kei—omitting only the more intimate details.
"So that's how it was. You threatened her too, and gave her a ring." Ichinose mumbled against his chest, her words slightly muffled.
"No wonder she broke up with Hirata-kun so decisively. I've noticed she's been deliberately keeping her distance from other boys lately... And people have seen her going out at night frequently."
"Aren't you angry?" Kaoru felt somewhat awkward—by any normal standard, his involvement with Kei would qualify as cheating.
"Just a little. The thought of my boyfriend being... consumed when I wasn't paying attention..." Ichinose pouted, pressing her forehead petulantly against his chest.
"Mmm... it's somewhat frustrating."
Shouldn't it be that I consumed Karuizawa?
Yet her sulky demeanor struck him as utterly adorable.
Gently stroking her hair, Kaoru murmured, "You're right, this is my fault. I failed to control my desires."
"No! It's not Kaoru's fault at all! You shouldn't have to restrain your desires!" Ichinose insisted. "This happened because I failed in my duties as your girlfriend. That's why you... vented with Karuizawa-san instead."
Kaoru blinked, momentarily stunned by her unexpected logic.
"So... so should we... do something naughty now?" the girl whispered. "But... I'm a little scared. We don't have any protection... Could I... do what we did last time?"
Last time—meaning blowjob?
Kaoru swallowed hard. "Honami, do you feel like this is how you should make it up to me?"
Perhaps witnessing his various transgressions had planted in Ichinose's mind the notion that she needed to compensate him in this manner.
"A little... But truthfully, I... I also want to be naughty. Your Honami has become quite corrupted." She moved to cover her burning cheeks.
"Ever since we got together, my mind keeps filling with images of us being intimate—wanting your kisses, your embraces, your touch."
Kaoru opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
Suddenly, the girl lifted her lovely face from his chest to plant another kiss on his lips, her small hands already wandering with increasing boldness.
"Honami."
"D-do you want me to take it out?"
"Can I ask you to do something a bit unusual?"
"Hmm? Of course! You can ask me for anything, Kaoru."
"Could you give me a lap pillow?"
"...Eh?"
At first, Ichinose was puzzled—what mischief could possibly come from a lap pillow?
Under Kaoru's guidance, she quickly realized just how strange this position was!
"S-should we… undo it?"
"I want to take a bite, Honami Mama."
"Mmm… P-please don't suddenly call me something so weird… I-I'll start acting strange too, ah…"
Kaoru rested his head on the girl's plush thighs, his eyes lazily narrowing in contentment.
Meanwhile, the crimson-faced girl leaned slightly forward, her body trembling.
The winter air had ripened her like a sweet, succulent fruit, tempting and fragrant.
The biting wind howled outside, while proud plum blossoms stood tall amidst the endless snow, their delicate scent lingering on the lips like melting frost, silver threads of moisture dripping silently.
"Mmm, good boy… You're… you're… Mama Honami's favorite little baby…" The girl's cheeks burned so red they seemed ready to bleed.
Her delicate, boneless hands not only stroked Kaoru's head but also tightly gripped his lifeline.
"Mmm… This is still so embarrassing!"
"I always thought Honami would make a great mom," Kaoru mumbled indistinctly.
"Is that what this is about?" Ichinose belatedly understood, but it was too late to cry now.
She bit her lip.
"Kaoru… are you usually too tired?"
"Why do you ask?" Kaoru replied.
"B-because this is a little weird, but… you're acting spoiled with me." As she spoke, her mood inexplicably lifted, and a happy smile spread across her face.
"I thought you'd hate it," Kaoru blinked.
"No way! I was startled at first, but knowing you're being clingy with me makes me really happy, ehehe~" She continued petting his head.
"Mmm, fine, I'll be your mama! As long as Kaoru is happy, you're always welcome here. You can do whatever you want to your Honami Mama!"
As her words trailed off, Kaoru shifted slightly.
"Wah! I-It's like this again… So intense… What do we do now?"
