Stealing Spree

When morning came, I was met with Miwa-nee’s confused eyes, wondering why I was sleeping next to her.

Well, she’s already asleep by the time I returned to her room. That’s because instead of just leaving Akane after showering her with my affection like the girl asked, I remained by her side and waited until she fell asleep.

Even if Akane told me that it’s already fine for me to leave, I just smiled at her, held her in my arms, covered our naked bodies with the thick blanket and endearingly coddled her until she drifted off to sleep.

Doing that was the only way I could think of how to repay her for what she decided to let go of tonight...

Being the recipient of what might be considered as the greatest privilege for them, Akane had gradually adjusted it. She, one by one, gave away and let go of those privileges that at first were solely directed for her.

Since I couldn’t just reject what she’s doing, it seemed as if I selfishly dropped the responsibility to decide for it on her shoulder.

I was dumbly unaware that there were a lot of things that I did unfairly. And in the end, the girls are the ones adjusting it to make it fair for the others.

In any case, I still stopped myself from rebuking myself. I was now made aware of it. Doing so would just make these girls worry again. The best thing I could do was to prevent the same mistakes in the future.

“Good morning, Miwa-nee.” I put on what I deemed as my brightest smile as I greeted her despite that confusion.

She’s definitely wondering why I was next to her when she fell asleep without me by her side.

This wasn’t the first time but considering the first instance was planned, she probably couldn’t believe that she missed an opportunity.

“When I returned here last night, you’re already asleep so I made myself comfortable hugging you from behind. I don’t know when but you probably turned your body around to hug me as well. So now we’re like this.”

I detailed what entailed and pointed out the obvious. And that resulted in her eyes narrowing as she reached my cheeks, pinching it with slight annoyance.

“Why didn’t you wake me up? I was looking forward to your ‘thank you’”

Ah. More than the talk with my parents, she focused more on what she told me in the kitchen… Or rather, she purposely didn’t raise that topic to not start our day with a gloomy mood.

“I planned to double it right now.” I grinned and gently climbed on top of her. Minoru was next to us. I made sure not to minimize my movements to not wake the boy up.

On the other hand, Miwa-nee still had her eyes narrowed as she watched me with an incredulous expression.

She’s definitely not amused.

Nonetheless, I lowered down to her neck and pressed my lips on one of her sensitive spots. Even if she tried not to react, it’s called sensitive for a reason. Miwa-nee lightly exhaled and grabbed a clump of my hair before raising my head for our eyes to meet.

Following that, Miwa-nee pulled me up and took my lips. “Save that for later, you dumbo. I’ll take a good morning kiss for now.”

After declaring that, she then pushed my body down to her side before standing up.

Although her nightwear wasn’t some sexy negligee, what she’s wearing was still considered sexy. Just looking at her from where I was, I bet anyone would drool at that slightly undersized shirt that emphasized her voluptuous front as well as gave a peek at her slender waist and alluring belly button. Below it, her cotton pajamas stuck closely to her skin, making it appear as if it’s a tight leggings.

Upon noticing that I was stuck staring at her, Miwa-nee dragged me out of the bed and told me to wake up Akane.

Well, it’s my fault for not waking her up last night so… no choice but to truly save it for later. Besides, I managed to uplift her mood. Although she probably wanted to appear upset, her lips that were curved into a smile and her cheeks that’s slightly red from her blush betrayed her.

Although she asked for my opinion last night, Miwa-nee put it at the back of her mind for now. I still have school so she’s prioritizing me over her own issue.

As soon as I understood that, it instantly warmed my heart. My girls are always considerate of me. That just proved how lucky I am to have them…

While Miwa-nee went down to prepare our breakfast, I brought Akane, who woke up like a princess as soon as I kissed her, to the mini-gym as we did our morning routine.

Despite my parents being back from overseas, our morning remained the same. In any case, they’re going to be here for a few weeks, perhaps something would change, perhaps everything would remain the same… who knows what the future holds for us?

By the time we left the house for school, Hitomi was once again waiting to drive us both. And after dropping Akane, it’s already a habit to meet up with at least one of them.

For today, it’s Ririka. We spent some time somewhere we wouldn’t draw attention. Naturally, we couldn’t do the same thing we did during the first time we met outside. More than the risk, I was thinking that I wanted to bring her somewhere we could lie down together. That way, I could spoil her more. The girl understood where I’m coming from and as it turns out, she’s thinking the same thing.

Back then, we just couldn’t help it since we had just reunited. Although I couldn’t promise her an exact date, I told her my desire to talk her out on a date. It could be an after-school date or even a weekend.

Before we separated, she gave me another clothing piece she made that she thought I could use for disguising purposes.

It’s nothing spectacular but considering she handmade it, I definitely appreciate her efforts. I thanked her by stretching the time further just to at least make up for the days I couldn’t be with her.

By the time I returned to Hitomi’s car, I looked at the time and concluded that it’s already impossible for us to get another alone time or I would be late for school. She already noticed it but none of us pointed it out.

Instead, I tried to be content just staring at the cool but silent woman driving for me. As I couldn’t read her mind, I just hoped that she’s feeling the same.

“Ruki-sama. Are you perhaps looking forward to being with me?”

Ten minutes into the road to school, Hitomi surprised me as she asked that question, breaking the silence inside the car.

Looking forward might be an understatement. I wanted to be with all of them, not just with her, all the time… That’s how greedy I am. But of course, that’s impossible at the moment.

“If I have to be honest. I always look forward to being with all of you. I’m that greedy.”

“I see. I can agree that Ruki-sama is greedy.”

“Aren’t you put off by it? You held onto your interest in me despite knowing my past and my present status.”

“It’s only an interest. Ruki-sama, I don’t think I can say that I love you as much as Ojou-sama loves you.”

That’s right. Her interest doesn’t equate to loving me. I know that but still, my interest in her is just the same as what I felt for the other girls. It’s the feeling of wanting her for myself.

Well, we can only have this bit of time for ourselves so I don’t expect that the interest she has in me will evolve quickly. It might even remain as an interest even if we reach the point of being in an intimate physical relationship.

“I like your bluntness, Hitomi.” I forced an awkward laugh before continuing. “I guess I have to do my best for you to love me as much as Otoha loves me.”

“If that’s the case, I’m looking forward to that ‘best’ of yours, Ruki-sama.” Although it was quick, I saw Hitomi flashing an excited expression.

Our conversation ended there but the slightly positive atmosphere remained until we reached the vicinity of our school.
