The Soulmate Game (REVERSE HAREM X READER)

Chapter 7 - A Delicate Touch

After wiggling around for a bit, Kaito sat upright and groggily started to rub his eyes together. "On second thoughts, it's kind of hard to sleep here..." After giving a small slap to the bed, it jiggled some more. "Yeah it moves too much..."

Clearing my throat, I made my way towards Kaito with folded arms. "I don't think we're actually supposed to sleep in here. I'm sure you heard what this challenge entails, right?"

With a big catlike yawn, Kaito struggled to keep his eyes open. Feeling slightly less confident now, I knitted my brows together. "Or at least... I'm hoping someone brought you up to speed if you slept through the explanation."

"No, I was awake and heard everything loud and clear." With a defeated sigh, Kaito flopped backwards onto the bed. "I didn't even want to go next, but the others made me. They said I wouldn't have to do much work if I volunteered for this round."

Gritting my teeth, I gave a fake smile as I tried to quell my building irritation. "Oh, is that so? I take it that I'm not your type, huh?"

While I wasn't insulted by Kaito not feeling attracted to me, I could do without hearing it straight to my face! Seriously, it's like he has zero self-awareness!

Suddenly, Kaito's eyes went wide with panic as he slowly sat upright on the bed. Hmm, I think this is the first time I've ever seen him look so alert before.

"That... came out ruder than I meant." Nervously fiddling his fingers together, Kaito started to stumble over his own words. "I mean I- thought that- Uh..."

After taking a couple of minutes to clear his head and formulate the correct sentence, his head started to bop along to his own words as if he were rehearsing a speech.

"What I meant to say is: I'm not used to things like sex. It never really crossed my mind before today, so I don't have a strong stance on it."

I nodded my head thoughtfully. "I see, so it's kind of like you're impartial to it then. That would explain why you don't jump the gun like some of the other guys here do..."

"I guess you could say that... In all honesty, I feel so detached from the idea of sex that I wouldn't even know where to begin." Slumping his shoulders, fatigue started to creep up over Kaito once more. "So don't take it personally. It's nothing against you, it's just a me kind of thing."

"I understand. But in any case, we should probably get this over and done with." My mood had started to sour once I thought of what would come next. "We're on second base now, right?"

Counting on his fingers, Kaito struggled to think. "Yeah, I think one of the others explained it to me. Second base should be..."

Kaito's face flushed a bright red as he went instantly silent. But before I could ask what was wrong, he quickly burrowed his head into his lap like an ostrich hiding from the surface.

"Uhh..." I uttered, not knowing what to say. "What did they say second base was?"

Kaito grumbled something incoherent under his breath.

"I don't know what you just said," I explained. "You'll need to say it loud and clear for me to properly understand."

Reluctantly, Kaito perked his head up and covered his face in shame.

"Handjob."

"O-Oh... I see..." was all I could muster on the spot.

Clearing my throat, I forced myself to put on a brave face before getting onto my knees in front of Kaito. As much as I didn't want to give my first handjob under these unusual circumstances, I forced myself to just get on with it and suck it up. And since Kaito doesn't seem like the eager type, it'll be up to me to see this through to the end.
