"You know if your uncomfortable with something you can tell me, I dont want to push things with you." Wilk smiled at me and ruffled my hair, I had found him outside in the morning smoking a hand rolled cigarette. "You could have been doing whatever you wanted all along in Roppongi, but you didn't do anything bad. As far as I'm concerned you understand actions and consequences more than your peers." I blushed at the compliment, I felt elated at the idea that he saw me as more mature and trustworthy. "He's also having some problems at home as I'm sure you've heard as it's a small town. So sometimes it's nice to have a break from a tough situation and spend it with a pretty girl." He said with a wink. I felt a slight pang in my chest thinking about the situation he was talking about, maybe it was worse than what he had told me.  "Now don't tell Asirpa you saw me smoking. I promised I'd quit it's just hard." He took another deep inhale as he looked back to make sure she wasn't awake yet, she could sleep through just about anything. "I won't ever tell on you for anything." I said giving him a wide smile, his eyes softened as he reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "I know you wouldn't." He said allowing his hand to linger, I could feel my heart racing as he continued to speak. "I know it could be under better circumstances but I'm glad your here, Opere." His eyes scanned my face as though he were contemplating something, he dropped his hand when we both heard stirring inside the house. 

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Asirpa squeaked hugging me around the waist, when I gave her a confused look she motioned over to Sugimoto who was sprawled out on the couch clutching the pillow and blanket as he snored contently. My eyes softened at the sight, maybe Wilk was right about this being an escape from the reality of what was going on in his house. I had been lucky enough to have been removed from my situation, I didn't have the constant reminder of what I had lost or in his case what he was losing. "We're out of coffee, and pretty much everything else." Wilk commented as he shuffled around opening the cabinets. "I'm going to go into town. Asirpa do you mind joining me? You know I tend to forget things." She seemed conflicted looking back and forth between Sugimoto and her father. "He's going to be here when you get back." I reassured her and with that she followed her father out to the car. I took Sugimoto sleeping as an opportunity to shower and get ready, I peeked out of the bathroom before slipping into my room with my towel securely wrapped around me. I slipped into my room and pushed the sliding door closed, I sighed noticing Asirpa had ransacked my clothing which was scattered about the room. I pulled on my undergarments and began searching for a bra when I heard the door open. "Opere do you have a shirt that would fit me-" I yelped and wrapped my arms over my exposed breasts, Sugimoto's eyes widened and he seemed stuck in place. "I-I'm sorry!  God those are nice... I- I mean I'll go out there!" He said backing out of the room, but I stopped him. 

"I don't care if you look." I said softly I could see his eyes widen at my words,  he peered behind him before re-entering. "I want you to teach me." I said in the same voice, I could see his eyes roam over me before stopping at my face. "I don't want it to be like that...like just a sex thing." He said swallowing roughly, he seemed like he was holding back and if I pushed it he would succumb. But I couldn't help but think of what my mother said about men getting what they want, I couldn't help but laugh slightly at the situation. "Ok, we'll do things your way." I said before proceeding to get dressed, he seemed confused even further by my reaction. "It's not that I dont want to-" I held up my hand giving him a reassuring smile. "I understand, I'm not trying to be facetious." I explained, he seemed to give a sigh of relief until the doorbell rang. "He definitely saw my truck, I thought he would drive off." Sugimoto muttered to himself as the ringing commenced again, he grabbed my wrist before I could go answer. "You wont...I mean dont take this the wrong way, but you wont do that stuff with him right? Just because I said I want to take it slow?" I could hear the uncertainty in his voice, I quickly shook my head to quell him. "I said we could do things your way." He beamed and quickly pulled me into a hug before he walked off down towards the front door.
