Life after Harem

Joker woke up at night. Knowing he won't be able to fall asleep anytime soon, he slowly made his way to his desk and after turning on the small lamp on it, he thought for a short moment and continued filling with words one of several A4 sheets he had there. After about an hour and half he got sleepy again, so he decided to use that opportunity to get back some sleep he lost recently especially in the last few days.

Futaba couldn't wait for Joker to come back from his school, so to his surprise she woke up really early and visited Leblanc before he would have to leave to be on time to his classes.

When she opened the Leblanc doors, Sojiro was already there preparing to open up.

- What are you doing there so early Futaba?

- I thought that I should make sure he won't oversleep after yesterday, and maybe to get some fresh air I will walk him to the station. Also curry for breakfast would be nice.

- Coming right up! So... How did his apology meeting went? I haven't seen him yet, so I have no idea how beat up he is.

- Don't worry, there was no violence used. Well physical at least, I am sure he suffered a lot of emotional damage. I wouldn't blame him for some psychological trauma after everything that has happened yesterday, but then again - he deserved it.

- He surely did. Listen if he ever does something like that again just...

- He won't. I know it might seem naive to believe him after what he pulled off, but I know that he's serious about this and won't screw up again. Yesterday talking with all the girls confirmed to me that he will try his best to make me happy. I mean the fact that he went and organized this meeting to apologize to everyone was something I made him do, as some form of compensation for the Valentines day. It was hard, I could tell he was stressed and uneasy, but he did it. I have some other demands and tasks that he has to answer in order for fully earning my forgiveness though.

- Good. Make him sweat.

- He's still not up? Maybe I should check on him to make sure he won't oversleep.

Futaba stood up from the stool next to counter and slowly went up the stairs. After a while she could hear his loud deep breaths. As she expected he was still asleep. She decided to quietly go up to him and crouched next to his bed looking at his face. Quick idea flashed trough her head. She got closer to his face and gently kissed him on the cheek. After short break she did this again. Futaba started counting how many kisses it would take for him to wake up. Shortly after 7th one Akira finally slowly opened his eyes. After seeing Futaba's face grinning at him close to his bed he grabbed her with his right hand and pulled her closer for one more kiss, this time initiated by him. Still half-asleep he tried to pull her to his bed.

- No wait! Now it's still rather early, but if we will cuddle like yesterday you'll be late to school!

- School? - Joker still not fully awake looked around his surroundings. - Wait so this isn't a dream?

- What made you think it was a dream?

- You were there. - Akira answered smiling, still a bit absent-minded.

- Ugh... You damn playboy, it's not fair!

Akira slowly got up and after few quick stretching exercises he started to take his pajamas starting from the upper part.

- Wait, what are you doing? - Futaba said while covering her eyes. Akira chuckled a little when he noticed that despite covering her eyes with her hands she left big enough space between fingers in her right hand to still look at him.
