Hands on hands, Asahi and Keiko slowly walked together. They just left the station and were heading towards Keiko's house.
Both of them had flushed cheeks even though they were just under a one-year relationship of dating.
The thing is that they started dating at the end of the second semester in their third year of middle school. They haven't spent much time together because of the exams.
And as a senior in middle school, their grades are very important compared to the other exams throughout the year.
They met with each other but never had a plan that they organized. In that busy schedule, it is difficult to go on a date. So they both agreed to invest more time in studying.
Moreover, Asahi presumably said that he would be going to another high school than Keiko so nothing was cooking between them.
But now, since the first day of Keiko's high school days, everything changed.
Now that Asahi has changed his mind at the last second and enrolled in the same high school as Keiko, they had opportunities to be together more.
That is why they were easily flustered with simple yet lovely actions by being with each other's company.
They were entering the neighbourhood of middle-class houses. They walked on the side of the small roads as Keiko directed Asahi towards her house.
Both Keiko and Asahi enjoyed their moments fully, addicted to each other's beauty.
Truly a perfect couple.
However, Asahi's heart was beating for another reason as they approached her house.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance. There was a small yard and a pathway made with red tiles that led up to the door.
Asahi gulped upon seeing this house.
Keiko opened the small gate with one hand while the other was holding Asahi's hand. She smiled and said,
"Let's go inside."
".....Un..."
*Ba-dump* *Ba-dump* *Ba-dump*
His heart raced.
She came to the door and opened it.
"I'm home, " She informed about his arrival.
"I'm intruding..." Asahi softly muttered.
Despite his tall stature and his imposing aura, he was a bit shy when it comes to such situations as these. After all, Asahi is a teenager just like all high school boys.
"Welcome home!"
An old and mature voice greeted Keiko. It came from the living room.
She took off her shoes and Asahi repeated the same action. She walked forward and saw her uncle, as expected, sitting on the sofa and watching T.V.
Her uncle glanced to his left and saw an unfamiliar boy entering behind Keiko.
He got up instinctively and inquired about his identity.
"Oh? Keiko, I did not know you were bringing a guest. Who might this be?"
To be honest, after all that teasing that Yoichi did, she did not think that she would expose Asahi in front of her uncle.
Constantly trying to deny fact that she had a boyfriend to her uncle, she did not think that this day would come sooner.
However, after a day spent like this, she had a feeling that she should not hide it from her family anymore.
She wants to introduce him. She wants him to integrate into this family as soon as possible.
She wants him to be close to her at all times. She wants.....him.
With a slight hesitation, Keiko faced her uncle and unravelled Asahi's identity to him.
"O-Oji-san, this is m...my boyfriend."
Asahi also flustered by the old man's presence and the presentation by Keiko, he bowed and introduced himself.
"My n-name is Sato Asahi! I am pleased to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too, Sato-kun. My name is Morita Keisuke. Keiko's uncle. You can call me Keisuke Oji-san."
He smiled endearingly and approached Asahi as he offered his hand to him.
Asahi saw that and shook his hand very respectfully. This mature old man made Asahi's lips curve upward uncontrollably.
He thought that he would screw up his first impression towards Keiko's family member or his uncle would not like him in the first place.
But all of those negative images were shot down.
"You are quite the handsome guy, aren't you?"
He tapped Asahi's shoulder teasingly which strangely for him, he did not feel awkward. He took Keisuke's comment with a joke.
"Haha...I am sure I wouldn't surpass yours."
"Hoh? Quite the humorous boyfriend you got here, Keiko."
Keisuke sideglanced at his niece, who looked away in embarrassment from him calling Asahi his boyfriend.
Asahi too was not that adept at cracking jokes like these. Guess he got influenced by Yoichi.
After all, those 2 are classmates so naturally, he could pick one or two characteristics of Yoichi and implement them in his own personality. Still, it is going to take some time.
Making a joke is a skill on its own. It is a great way to make a conversation flow or break an uneasy atmosphere.
He decided to later on learn from Yoichi secretly.
"Did you two eat?"
"Yes, we had some food at the newly opened restaurant," Keiko answered.
"Is that so?"
Just then the 3 of them heard footsteps coming down the stairs. They all looked at the one responsible and it was Yoichi who was wiping his wet hair.
Asahi and Keiko assumed that he had just taken a bath. Yoichi noticed them and was surprised.
"Oh? Asahi! Why are you here? How did the date go?"
"Why are you suddenly asking him about that!?" Keiko was ready to shut his mouth with some duct tape.
Asahi, with confidence, declared to him.
"It was the best one I had."
That made Keiko shriek in her mind. Her ears turned hot and red. She hid behind Yoichi to cover up for her flushed expression.
"That's good to hear."
Keisuke then joined their conversation.
"I do have to say though. Keiko really pulled in a nice boy. It won't be too far in the future that he will become part of the family."
"K-Keisuke Oji-san?!? I-I think that this kind of topic is t-too early to be brought up."
"So you had that intention in the first place?" He smirked like a teasing father.
".....U-Umm..."
Keiko wanted to get out of this room and not hear this matter because it was too much to handle for her. But she was stuck behind Yoichi's back, unable to move.
Plus, her flustered has not subsided yet. Instead, it got to the next level since they were talking about marriage!
How much of a leap was that when it hasn't been a year since they dated!?
Yoichi though was curious about something.
"Oji-san, you already know that Asahi is Keiko's boyfriend?"
"Yes. She just told me that."
"Heee~" He grinned as he glanced backwards.
She has not noticed Yoichi's gaze because she was too busy regaining composure.
He then spoke with Asahi.
"Say Asahi, why did you come here?"
"Huh? Umm...Keiko said that she wanted to introduce me to her family so.....I came."
"Hmmm......"
He stepped near Asahi's shoulder and leaned into his ear.
"Isn't there any other motives in coming here?" He whispered with a hint of naughtiness.
"....U-Umm..."
Keiko grabbed Asahi's hand lightning-fast and dragged him upstairs, away from Keisuke and Yoichi.
"Wai-!"
"We have to talk about something in my room!! Let's go Asahi-kun!"
With that said, she closed the door leaving Yoichi and Keisuke alone downstairs in the living room.
Yoichi turned to his uncle and asked,
"What do you think about him, Oji-san?"
"Overall, a likeable guy. Well mannered, good-looking and likes to joke."
"Joke?" Yoichi pondered on what he said.
"Yes. Sato-kun has potential. More like it is decided that he will be your brother-in-law."
"Oh come on, Oji-san. You are way too ahead in the future."
"Am I wrong to think like that?"
"...No..."
"Then at least let me feel optimistic about her future."
".....Okay..."
Inside Keiko's room, Asahi was admiring her room. It was the first time he had been to Keiko's room.
Books, her desk, her bag, the curtain, her bed, the cupboard, all of that were seen by her boyfriend.
Many people say that a person's room can reveal so much information about the person's personality, likes and dislikes and much other stuff.
Keiko sat on the floor next to the low table, with Asahi just in front of her. She noticed that he was taking a look at his surroundings more often.
"What happened?" She investigated.
"...N-No. It is the first time I have been to your room so I want to take a proper look at where you live. I want to know my girlfriend well you know."
"O-Oh." She started blushing yet again.
"Is it alright if I start looking around?"
"...No. Do as you like."
He got up and inspected her room. Some books on her shelf were properly arranged. Asahi took one and saw its cover.
"You like these mystery novels?"
"Y-Yes. It is interesting and never bores me like those cliche stories. I prefer these over drama."
"Okay. Seems like I am getting to know you a little better than before."
"..." He was playing unfairly as she was constantly getting captivated by his charming words.
He chatted whilst gathering more and more information about Keiko that he never knew about.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Can I come in?" It was Yoichi's voice
"Yeah." Keiko did not know what he was up to, maybe he wanted to tease her. She let him in nonetheless.
Yoichi was carrying a tray with snacks.
"Hm? Our stomachs are full though?" Keiko wanted to shoo him off and let herself have some alone time with Asahi.
"Oh come on, a few should not hurt."
While he placed the tray on the table, he smirked at Keiko. She had a question mark over her head. Yoichi inconspicuously showed his palm to her.
There was some writing into it. She squinted her eyes to see what he wrote.
'I won't come here again. Good Luck!!'
"Huh?"
Yoichi winked at Keiko.
"Huh?"
"What happened?" Asahi asked Keiko.
"Ah...I-It's.....nothing."
Yoichi knows!! He knows!!
As he got up, he exited the room after saying, ''Have a good time~" to the couple.
Keiko's heart raced.
Asahi sat beside her and took some snacks that Yoichi brought in.
"Wow, it's good."
"Y-Yeah. He made it."
He silently enjoyed those cookies. Keiko decided that it was time to take the initiative.
"Hey."
She scooted over closer to him, which made Asahi gulp with anxiousness.
"Asahi-kun, I....."
Her arm touched his and their face came closer than ever. She then rested her head onto his comfortable shoulder.
"I enjoyed our time spent together and I just want to say it to you."
Asahi glanced at her cute head. Her sweet voice filled with love came out of her mouth.
"I am truly blessed that I got into a relationship with my crush."
"....."
Asahi never knew that Keiko's crush was him. He assumed that he was not the first person that entered into a relationship with her.
And she never said anything about a previous boyfriend of the sort.
This was the first time that Keiko officially disclosed the fact that Asahi is her first and the only boyfriend that she has been with.
Keiko faced Asahi slowly. She saw that he was perplexed but blushing simultaneously. That expression of his was too cute for her to endure.
So she brought her lips closer to his and smooched them.
She was the one who began all of it.
Her tongue entered his mouth and playfully intertwined with Asahi's tongue. His saliva, teeth, gum, all of it, she felt it.
She could not suppress her desires.
She smoothly ran her hand to his face and indulged her kiss even more erotically.
Asahi was more submissive as he let himself be taken by Keiko's rather aggressive move.
Their bodies felt hot.
She slowly got up alongside Asahi while their mouth was still engaging together. They did not let go for even one second.
The bed was near them. Keiko tipped herself over to the mattress. Asahi wouldn't dare to injure her so he kept his arm around her shoulder for safety.
Yet he could not stop from getting kissed by Keiko.
Her hand moved from his face to his well-built chest. Then it came down to his lower body.
At that moment, she finally stopped smooching. She got a final look at Asahi's handsome face before getting on top of him.
They both looked at each other with red cheeks.
Keiko was prepared to take off her clothes after such a pleasurable act, yet.....
"Asahi.....-kun...?"
Asahi grabbed the hands of Keiko and stopped her from doing any more than this.
He was faced with a dilemma. His mind was in shambles right now. He gritted his teeth with guilt and did not know what to say.
But with courage, he requested.
"Keiko.....-chan.....Can we not.....do it today...?"
On her supposedly first time, she was dumbfounded and rejected.
