*Yuu's POV*

"Hmmm, true. And sisters are there to listen to your problems as well. Speaking of which, care to explain what I witnessed during our call?"

Ichiko looked at me with a playfull grin and an amused glint in her eyes.

"W-what, I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Oh come on, do you seriously think I am that oblivious!? I know you were suppressing moans. The question is what caused them or more precisely who?"

My cheeks heated up immediately at the memories moments ago at the company.

"M-moans? No, I..., I..., I was just walking up the stairs, that's why I was out of breath."

Hah, nailed it.

"Suure. I also always moan when I am out of breath. But what am I talking about? Let's just try it out right now."

She jumped up from the couch and went ahead to open the door.

"S-stop. Ok fiine. You were right."

I sigh. She comes back and jumps up and down thrilled and boosted up with a larg amount of energy. Seriously it's concerning how she has so much.

"YES! I knew it!"

She does a little victory dance right in front of me. I cross my arms and look to the side, still embarrassed.

"So what happened? Tell me, I want to know!"

She shoves her face right into mine. I push her slightly away.

"You're too close."

Suddenly she grabs my face and turns my head into her direction to look me in the eyes.

"This is a very serious matter. I, as your sister must know EVERY little detail of your love life, so spear no details!"

She squishes my cheeks with her hands according to every word to emphasize them.

"Gosh your embarrassing."

"And you are very much adorable. Now spill!"

She finally lets go of my cheeks and I can speak normally again.

"Ehh, so I don't really know myself what happened or why. It-it just did. Ugh, I don't know how to do this.
Anyways, there is this guy at work and he is incredibly handsome, and somehow we bumped into each other today, but nothing happened, and then later on we ended up in the meating room, alone, and one thing lead to another and I was pinned to the wall, caught between his arms."

I hear her screeching into my face.

"Oh my gosh, this sounds so hot! What did he smell like? How tall is he? Is his hair soft? I can't believe it, you are finally making progress in your non existing lovelife!"

I cover my ears because of her highpitched screaming and try to grab her by her shoulders to calm her down.

"Slow down with your questions, I can't keep up with you.
H-He smelled somehow musky, like the forrest, just really fresh and he is taller than me. As for his hair, it is really soft and I loved brushing my fingers through it while we-"

I quickly shut my moth.

"While you what? Patted his head, styled his hair? Or did you really kiss?"

She looked at me with big doelike eyes, expecting my answer.

"A-actually we didn't kiss, I just wanted to tease you. I don't know what his hair is like."

"Whaaaaat!? Then why were you moaning?"

My face became crimson red again at the mention of her question.

"Y-yeah, about that. Well it was kind of like a make out session, without... making...out?"

I scratched my ear and she looked at me dumbfounded.

"You got some explaining to do, mister! And I want every little detail."

After I told her the whole situation, not leaving out a single thing or any of my thoughts, I felt a little weird. Sharing something so intimate with another person felt somehow wrong. I mean it was Ichiko after all. I can trust her. But still.

"Wow, I can practically feel the sexual tension that must have been between you. It's so hot. But who did you say was the sexy handsome guy again?"

My head shoots up and my eyes widen in shock. I thought I walked around that topic quite well. Damn it!
I fiddle with my fingers and pick at one of my nails searching for any kind of distraction.

"Uhmm, i-it's Mika."

"WHAT?"

"Gosh, stop shouting. You'll make the neighboors call the police."

"I mean, what!?"

"Yeah, just as you said, there was this kind of tension and we just happened to act out if instinct, I guess?"

"Holy moly, this is insane! Mika!
Not only that the rumours are true, that he in fact is gay, but I am sitting right infront of his future boyfriend. This is so exciting!"

"Please keep it a secret. I only told you this because I really trust you, but you can't tell anybody about this! I mean it."

"Yeah sure. But still, Mikas boyfriend!"

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's very much unlikely to happen."

Remembering how we parted ways I automatically slump my shoulders and my mind clouds with negative thoughts. Closing and reopening the pocket of my jacket I go over his last words over and over again.

"Hey, sweety, what's the matter?"

"..."

"Look at me Yuu."

I raise my head slowly and look at her. She opens her arms and I immediately give in to her hug.

"It's just that he reacted really weird, when I told him that you were the one I was going to. And then he turned all cold and distant, literally out of nowhere. He said that he doesn't care anyway."

"Oh Yuu."

"Look I know that I am just a commoner. A normal person.
But it still hurts to know that he views me only as a toy, which can be thrown away the second you get bored of it. I am just as much of a human being as he is, and I want to be treated as one."

"As you should!"

"I-I don't even know why I feel so down. Like I'm not even close to him and today was the first time he really acknowledged me. Maybe he isn't even gay, it could have been just some kind of mood swing."

Ichiko started caressing my back at some point and it feels really soothing.

"It's okay. Everything's going to be okay."

I hum, my head resting at her shoulder.

"You know, maybe he just got jealous. People say things they don't really mean when they get hurt, just so the other person can get a taste of it."

"You really think he got jealous of you?"

"Well it's a high possibility. Even if this is the case, I think he was wrong hurting you like that."

A comfortable silence settles between us and I enjoy the moment of peace.

"By the way, about what you just said, I may or may have not told him that you are my girlfriend. Please don't kill me!"

"You did WHAT!? Seriously Yuu Imma-"

*end of flashback*

The sound of the little bell on the door jingling brings me back to reality. I open my eyes and sit upright facing the two ladies coming straight to our table.
Oh lord, here we go. Wish me luck.

Surprise surprise, a double ubdate. Actually it's just because it would've been too long to fit everything in one chapter and I didn't even expect for it to be this long. However, I hope you aren't bored of the flashback yet and wanted to know what actually happened after Yuu left.
Have a great day or night and see you next time.✨
