The Sweep (Tsundere Male x Reader)

Chapter 21

Today started with us waking up around midmorning. I could have sworn that we were separated at night, each on our own sides of the bed, but he must have woken up before me and pulled me to his side. His left arm is under my waist while his right hand is on my shoulder, his forearm resting on my arm. My left hand is on his side and my right is on his chest. I feel a weight on my legs where he has his right leg over mine, thoroughly keeping me in place.

I stretch out my arms and yawn, eyes shut from just awakening. Lance stretches after me and lays on his back. I slowly get up from the bed with the intention to get ready for the day, but he calls out to me. He tells me to look in a box by the desk and I open it. Inside rests a beautiful sundress and flats along with comfortable looking undergarments. I smile thinking about the clean outfit I can put on but then quickly frown. "Lance, how did you know my perfect size in everything?"

He laughs at me from the bed with his eyes shut, still laying down. "My mother sent that for you, not me." I smile again, knowing that she must have peeked at my laundry over there so she could do this. So, his mom is the pervert and not him, huh?

I get ready for the day in the bathroom and get dressed in the new, comfortable clothing. When I get out, Lance quickly brushes past me so he could get ready. I sit on the bed waiting for him so we could figure out what to do before lunch. It's already eleven when we got up, since we decided to sleep in, and we have to meet up for lunch to discuss plans. He gets out after a while and lets out a deep breath of air as he shuts the door. When his eyes scan across the room and land on me, he stops.

I stand up from the bed and hold out my hand for him to take. He gladly takes it and yanks me toward him. Before anything could happen, the door opens after a curt knock. A man in uniform announces that a private lunch will be served on the patio in ten minutes. Lance sighs and lets go of me and walks toward the man at the door. We follow the man down the halls and to the patio.

The sun is lightly hitting us at this hour and it is not hot nor cold today. Lance takes a seat for me and I sit down while he sits across from me. It is a square table, so there are two remaining seats next to us. After a while of small talk, Ian and Tanaka arrive. Tanaka takes a seat next to me while Ian sits next to Lance, much to both of their disappointment. Tanaka excuses herself to go to the bathroom really quick before the food comes out and Ian stands up. He comes over to my side of the table and sits next to me.

"You don't mind, do you?" He says to me, trying to provoke Lance. I shake my head no and wait for Tanaka to come back. She seems confused at the mixed arrangement but sits down next to Lance and smiles at us. Lance scoffs at the situation and Ian smirks at him.

The food comes out and we eat with some small talk. Ian and Tanaka seem to hold the conversation very well while Lance stays out, bored as usual. I make eye contact with him to get him to talk, but his eyes look tired almost like he is in a daze. I make a face at him that says, "Seriously?" He catches it and the ends of his lips curl upward slightly. His eyes travel down to my lips and sighs, closing them tight.

I shake my head and roll my eyes, going into the conversation with the other two. As soon as I stop paying attention to the grumpy Lance in front of me, he decides to annoy me. His foot touches mine under the table and I retract mine. If the two found out we were playing footsie next to them, we'd never hear the end of it.

He touches my foot again and I let them stay together. If I kept pulling away, it would just give him another reason to try again. He moves his foot up mine and to above my ankle. I send a glare his way and he shrugs like he has no idea what I'm talking about.

"So, let's get down to business." Ian starts, "How are we going to do this? End the Sweep."

Tanaka speaks up next, "I've been thinking about this through the night and propose that we just gather up all the girls and rebel."
