Target Acquired - VOLUME 1

CHAPTER 2 - "Couple Therapy Time"

So I lied. Asano and I are, well-

He grabs my wrist and pulls it over my head. Together.

I feel his other hand grab my other wrist and pin my wrists together. You know, boyfriend-girlfriend.

He uses one hand to keep my wrists in place and uses his other to hold my chin up, so now I'm actually looking straight at him. We're kind of a thing, you know?

He leans down toward me and plants a soft kiss on my lips. As he pulls away from me, I sigh, longing for hundreds more. Luckily for me, Principal Asano has a school board meeting, so I'll have plenty of time for... bonding.

His lips then graze against my neck. I gasp. Damn it, he knows how sensitive my body is, but he always does this.

He lets my wrists free with one hand and uses his other to grab my waist. I place my hands on his shoulders to hold myself steady.

He begins to move farther down from my neck, nipping at my skin. He's getting close to my chest. We've never gotten this far before! What comes next? Babies? Oh, man, this is-

Knock, knock!

"Asano," someone calls out from the doors of the classroom Asano and I are in. It's Ren. "I got the copies of those theater try-out posters Megumi wanted. Where should I put them?"

Asano draws away me. "Son of a bitch," he mutters, grabbing his tie from a desk. He ties it aggressively. He glances back at me while I button my shirt up. He tosses my tie to me, smirking. I catch it and attempt to tie it around my neck.

"Give me a second," Asano calls out to Ren. He moves over to me and crouches down to help me tie my tie. "There," he whispers as he gives me a kiss on my forehead.

We both walk over to the classroom door. He turns the light on and slides open the door, revealing Ren, who's clutching what looks like at least a hundred posters.

"Thanks," I tell Ren, while grabbing the posters. He looks puzzled about something.

"Here," Asano says. "Let me help you." He takes the posters from my hands and walks away to set them on a desk. Thank god, there were like a million posters there. I asked Ren to print ten.

"You know," Ren starts as Asano flips through the posters, checking them. "Health was pretty interesting today."

I yawn. Oh, great, he's babbling again. "Cool," I respond.

"Making out gives you like a crazy amount of serotonin," Ren adds, smiling at me. "Especially if you almost get caught." Shit.

Asano drops the posters and stares blankly at Ren.

"Uh," I stutter out. "You're not serious, right?"

"Hmm?" Ren asks. "I just thought that it would be useful advice to you two."

I trail off. Why do I have to be so bad at lying?

"You got us," Asano says. Well, he recovers fast! "Megumi and I were making out in here."

"No, we weren't!" I squeal.

Ren rolls his eyes and walks out of the room.

I grab a few of the posters, avoiding eye contact with Asano, but he firmly grasps my chin and forces me to look at him. 

"Leave the talking to me next time," he orders.

I scoff, "Who are you to command me all of a sudden?"

"Your boyfriend."

"You won't be for much longer if you keep being a dick."

He laughs, "You know that you can't call that shot."
