Ayanokouji What If: Popularity Time

V7.5 Chapter Prologue: Not According To Plan

                               Kikyo Pov

My sheets were comfortable. Very comfortable. Saying your sheets are comfortable is a common experience, to the point where saying as much isn't very special at all.

The events leading up to this comfort were different than anything that had ever come before it. I'm not even sure how I got into this room. I just remember being in his arms, feeling his warmth against me.

At the time, I was ignoring the aching in my body and heart from the torture, just happy I was being held by Kiyotaka.

I remember closing my eyes and letting myself fall into the darkness.

Then I woke up in my bed.

My warm, soft bed.

"So warm."

I nuzzled my face into my pillow, smelling it. Then I realized my bed was wet.

"Shit," I murmured, sitting up. Underneath an unfamiliar jacket, I was still in my school uniform.

While I would love to sleep more, I had to change my sheets before they got too wet.

Pushing myself off of my bed, I began to undress. The clothes stuck to my skin uncomfortably, so I was glad I could finally rid myself of that discomfort.

My nude body was now exposed to the chilly air. Reflexively, I covered my body and shuffled over to the closet to get clothes. Grabbing a sweatshirt, some sweatpants, and the undergarments, I went to the bathroom to shower.

Following my shower, I stepped out to change my sheets.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Who could it be? The time on my clock said 6:00 am, so who could be visiting at this hour?

A fear shot through my body.

"Could it be Ryuen? Back to torture me once more?"

Kiyotaka did beat the shit out of him, but it is possible he came back out of spite.

Deciding to not open the door, I just went on with my changing of my sheets. The knocking started up once again, sending another shiver crawling up my back.

My phone began to ring the moment the knocking stopped. Looking down, the caller ID was Kiyotaka.

I picked it up, "Kiyotaka-Kun, come to my room right now!"

"Already there," he said on the other end, "Let me in."

"It's you knocking?"

"No, it's Ryuen."

"Not funny! I'll come let you in."

I walked over to my door and opened it, revealing Kiyotaka. He was wearing a brown coat over a tan sweater. Blue jeans were paired with it, and it looked quite good on him.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, waiting outside.

I grabbed his wrist and pulled him into my room before throwing the door closed.

"Shitty, thanks. You?"

"Good. Might I have my jacket back?" he asked, extending his hand over to me.

His jacket? That must have been what I woke up in. No wonder it smelled nice. Sure, I could give it away, no problem.

Or is there a problem? Definitely is one.

"Once you explain what exactly happened last night!"

He stopped and shrugged, "You know. Stuff."
