Birthday Stories R18 ( KiyoKei COTE )

march 08 | 1st year

"...Heyo."

The visitor is Karuizawa Kei, who is still in her school uniform. As soon as she gets inside, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka closes and locks the door. He takes her bag from her as she removes her shoes and places them in the rack.

"Did you only just get back from school?" He slides his hands on her waist when they get inside his room.

"That's cus, unlike you, I have a ton of friends. Besides, I'm the star today." She grins as she throws her arms around his neck.

"The star? Why?" He teases, raising his eyebrows on his otherwise blank face, which makes her look away while pouting.

"...Whatever, it's nothing." If he wants to pretend he doesn't know what today is, then two can play that game. "Anyways, isn't it weird for you to call for me at a time like this? And what's with you saying I don't need to be careful anymore? Didn't you say it'd be a problem if we're seen by somebody?"

"It's fine. After everything that's happened, I don't think that's necessary anymore." His right hand travels lower until it lands on her ass, giving it a light squeeze. She flinches, barely suppressing a squeal, instead taking a sharp breath.

"Cause of, uh, Hashimoto-kun from Class A, right? And that upperclassman who saw us together?" She leans closer, resting her forehead on his shoulder.

"Something like that," he breathes before lowering his head to lick her ear. This time she is unable to hold back a whimper.

"Our relationship will slowly become public knowledge, you know that right...? And that's okay with you?" Her voice trembles as she looks up to him, her bluish purple eyes seeking assurance.

"I have no problems with it at all." He answers immediately, staring right back at her, determined.

"Well, then, it's fine I guess." She sighs in relief, closing her eyes while hugging him tighter.

They stay like this for a moment—Kei resting her ear against his firm chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, while Kiyotaka smells the floral scent of her long blonde hair. He is the first one to let go, only to carry her bridal-style to his bed.

He sits on the edge of the bed, in turn making her sit sideways on his lap. She wraps an arm over his neck for support while he holds her by the waist with one hand.

"But, like... you and I are still a boy and a girl from the same class, you know? If word gets out that I was seen coming here, won't weird rumors about how the two of us were alone together start to spread?" Although she is used to sneaking into his room by now, she is still nervous about doing it during this time when students flood the corridors. She knows how much her boyfriend values having a peaceful life, and the last thing she wants to happen is to be the reason he loses it.

"I'm the commander for this exam, and you're a central figure in Class C. The two of us meeting privately shouldn't be too unnatural." He rubs circles on her knees, trying to make her comfortable. After all, he purposely called her at this hour. The thought of her visiting at a different time kind of excited him, and he took advantage of the special exam to have this opportunity.

"Umm, well, I guess that's true..." She still had doubts, but she knows when to stop questioning Kiyotaka. "Speaking of which, why'd you agree to become the commander? You aren't the type of guy who'd feel obligated to do so just cus you got a protection point."

"Personal feelings aside, I needed to show my sincerity to the class. Yamauchi had only just been expelled, so everyone's still pretty paranoid. Nominating myself for the role was the best option available." His hand goes up to her thighs, pleased at the smoothness of skin under his calloused palm.
