Arisu Sakayanagi x Ayanokouji Kiyotaka [Classroom Of The Elite]

Kiss

"Sakayanagi... I appreciate the feeling, but maybe you should compose yourself..."

"Mm? Is this not the deed couples perform when they harbour these feelings? Maybe you're being too uptight, Ayanokoji-kun. You get a girlfriend and you fail to appreciate her love, how harsh."

Maybe clinging onto my arm in public is a bit too much, but I keep that to myself.

"We only started dating an hour ago... people would be surprised to see this."

"Oh? Is that right? And do I care?" she asks, still resting her head on my shoulder.

"Maybe you don't, but I certainly do-"

"Ayanokoji-kun, do you not want the world to see how lucky you are right now? To have such a cute maiden expressing her heartwarming love to the one she loves ever so dearly?"

"Well, no...?"

She laughs, "Are you implying that I'm not cute enough, Ayanokoji-kun?"

"No... you're absolutely cute."

"Mm?"

"Maybe it's because you're absolutely cute, that I don't want other boys feel envious toward me."

She sealed her lips for 5 seconds before responding, "I... see..."

"Sakayanagi..."

"Y-Yes?"

"We should keep this relationship a secret after all."

Even without telling her the reason why, she must have realized it herself.

It would affect the unity in our classes, if I dated the representative of Class A and if their representative dated someone in Class D, the faith between our classmates would deteriorate.

It would severely dampen our chances of winning.

"So are you saying we should keep this to ourselves indoors? And we can't be around each other like this in public?"

"That is why I am trying to say, yes."

"I see..." she lowers her head, "Ayanokoji-kun."

"Yes?"

"We are to be enemies for half the day. But after that, we will become lovers again, am I understood?"

"Of course."

"You will continue to come to my room in secret, and shall be with me until I'm satisfied."

"Of course."

"We'll play chess like always, and you'll teach me how to finally beat you one day."

"Of course."

"Don't you miss a day, Ayanokoji-kun. I would be sad indeed."

"Of course."

"And-"

"I'll try my hardest to make you happy, as a fellow lover ought to do for his girlfriend. Sakayanagi, for now, I will merely promise you that."

She smiles, "I guess that will do, for now."

As we walk to my room, side by side, arms interlinked, bodies touching each other, we walk as lovers.

But the next day, for a limited amount of time, we shall be enemies once more.

The next day

"Good morning, Ayanokoji-kun."

Hirata waves his greeting, as well as speaking it.

"Good morning, Hirata."

Even though this morning was to be the same as always, I couldn't help but be on guard.
