The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten (WN) (Volume 5+)

232 - To Cherish

It was rare for Mahiru to kiss him, and Amane let her be.

Truth be told, he might fall over if he did not hold up his body with his hands, and if he moved, something terrible would occur. Thus, he could not move. His waist was unstable, and he was filled with shame and anxiety once Mahiru expressed her love for him.

Her movements were a little stiff as she hardly took the initiative. She kissed away, happily staring at Amane's anxious and embarrassed face.

She too was so embarrassed that her cheeks were red, and her eyes were moist. Even then, her expression looked so alluring. Beauties really could do anything.

Mahiru saw Amane's expression, grinned, got down onto his chest, and he had enough.

"...E-erm, Mahiru-san?"

"What is it?"

"Actually...my butt's aching from sitting on the floor. Maybe that's enough?"

Amane just wanted to break away, and get himself to calm down, but she might not listen if he said so, so he tried to plead using a plausible reason.

She blinked away, I apologize for that, and got up from Amane. She was unexpectedly obedient, and probably knew that Amane had a different intent.

Amane thought of retreating for the time being while Mahiru was away from him, but the latter, quite the observant one, clung onto his arm, and prevented him from escaping.

He tensed up due to the heat, the touch, and the fact that he was seen through, *I say, *and heard her murmur.

"Who was the one who said that I would have it when we return home."

"Ugh."

"Such boisterous words you said."

Amane had intended for something else when he said that, but she did not mind.

"...But well, I did plan for this, and I am glad. It is just that you always try to escape."

Amane hoped that she would understand that he was trying to escape, for biological reasons, but it seemed she was fine with whatever situation he was in, and did not mind...actually, she probably meant something.

Truth be told, Amane never expected Mahiru, who was so flustered when the stayover was suggested, to be so enthusiastic. At the same time, he knew that he was being so useless because he was rattled by her clothes.

He felt it was reasonable for him.

He did not intend to do anything when he suggested to stay at Mahiru's place, and naturally was disturbed by Mahiru's bold temptation.

Mahiru herself might disagree with the sentiment, that she just wanted Amane to understand her feelings. Amane however felt that it was a cruel yet captivating temptation.

"Erm, I understand your feelings, so, can you please spare me?"

"In detail?"

"Like, another piece of clothing or two...?"

"Nope. I shall not promise so, since I finally seized the initiative."

It seemed Mahiru wanted to drive a stake through Amane's heart.

"...It is a little embarrassing, but I shall continue as long as your heart jumps, as written in the guidebook."

"I say, what is that guidebook about? Mind giving your big brother one?"

"We are the same age, just a month apart."

"That's not the problem. I'm very curious to know what's inside there."
