Chapter 48 - Closet

Although she didn't want to marry Ryu, she would accept it as she had lost.

She blushed slightly. 

"Ryu," Subaru said, her voice laced with urgency, "I think we should get out of here."

The excitement of their victory had turned, and the once-cheering crowd now seemed to seethe with a mix of envy and disappointment. Ryu's heart raced for a different reason now.

Without waiting for a reply, Ryu grabbed Subaru's wrist and pulled her toward the entrance. They slipped inside, shutting the door quietly behind them. 

They ran deep inside the school. The interior was dimly lit and cluttered, filled with old furniture and boxes.

"Let's hide in here," Ryu said, gesturing to a nearby closet. They rushed over and squeezed inside, pulling the door shut just as they heard footsteps echoing outside.

The closet was cramped, with barely enough room for both of them to stand shoulder to shoulder. Ryu could feel Subaru's warmth beside him, her breath quickening as they listened intently for any sounds outside.

"Do you think they'll find us?" Subaru whispered, her voice barely above a murmur.

Ryu shook his head, trying to sound more confident than he felt. "They're probably still out there looking for us. We just need to stay quiet until things cool down."

They exchanged nervous glances, and Ryu could feel the tension in the air. "I can't believe this is happening," he muttered, half-laughing, half-panting. "We just won, and now we're hiding in a closet!"

Subaru chuckled softly, the sound laced with nerves. "Well, this is a first for me," she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief despite the situation. "I didn't expect our victory to come with a side of escape."

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed outside the door, and Ryu's heart dropped. They both held their breath, pressing their backs against the wall of the closet as the footsteps grew louder. Subaru's eyes widened in alarm, and Ryu placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Stay quiet," he whispered, his voice barely audible. The footsteps stopped just outside their hiding spot, and they could hear muffled voices discussing their next move. Ryu felt Subaru trembling slightly beside him, her anxiety palpable.

"We need to move," one voice said. "They can't be far!"

Ryu's heart raced as he exchanged a worried glance with Subaru. "We're not safe yet," he said under his breath, steeling himself for what might come next. 

They stayed motionless, their hearts pounding in unison, as the footsteps resumed, growing fainter as they moved further down the hallway.

Subaru's heart skipped a beat as she met Ryu's gaze, her eyes sparkling with a flicker of attraction. She could feel the tension between them building, a palpable force that threatened to consume them both.

After what felt like an eternity, Ryu finally dared to breathe again. "I think we're in the clear," he whispered, glancing toward the closet door. 

Subaru's eyes fluttered closed as she felt Ryu's lips graze her skin, a spark of electricity igniting between them. She knew she should pull away, but she was too cramped.

But before they could make their escape, Subaru's eyes narrowed as she caught sight of something moving outside.

"Wait," she said, gripping Ryu's arm. "Look!"

Ryu followed her gaze, his heart dropping as he spotted a group of fans lingering just outside the door, clearly debating whether to continue their search or give up. 

Ryu and Subaru exchanged nervous glances, knowing that if they wanted to escape unscathed, they needed to act quickly.

"What's our plan?" Subaru asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ryu thought for a moment, then said, "We wait for them to leave. Then we slip out the back. Let's just try to remain unnoticed."

They stayed glued to their hiding place, the tension building again as they strained to listen for any sign of movement from the group outside. 

Ryu could feel Subaru's heart racing beside him, and he hoped she could feel his determination as well.

Ryu's cock pulsed with desire as it pressed against Subaru's thigh, sending a rush of heat through her body. She felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her as she realized what was happening, and her cheeks flushed with a deep crimson.

Subaru's eyes widened in surprise as she felt Ryu's erection grow harder against her, and she couldn't help but feel a spark of attraction. She had never been one for casual encounters, but there was something about Ryu that drew her in.

As they stood there, frozen in time, Ryu's eyes locked onto Subaru's, his gaze burning with desire. "Sorry," he whispered, his voice husky with apology. "I couldn't help it." But Subaru just shook her head, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment.

"It's okay," she whispered back, her voice barely audible. This man was now her husband.

She blushed even redder. This was now going to become commonplace.

Ryu's lips then brushed against Subaru's. They both realized what was happening.

The kiss was soft at first, but quickly grew more intense, their tongues tangling together in a passionate dance.

Suddenly, the closet door swung open, revealing the two of them entwined in a kiss.

The group of girls searching outside gasped, their hearts shattering as they witnessed the scene. Shocked and dismayed, they stood frozen for a moment, grappling with their emotions.

"Did you see that?" one girl whispered, her voice laced with disbelief. "They were kissing!"

"Ryu is ours!" another girl shouted, a mix of jealousy and betrayal in her tone. "How could he do this?"

Inside the closet, Ryu and Subaru jumped apart, wide-eyed and breathless.

In the next hour or so, most of the women chasing them who saw them kissing stopped.

They felt something inside them ignite, something wanting to see more of their man-to-man relationship.

Ryu sighed, knowing he had transformed these girls into fujoshi's

The day had ended as Ryu and Subaru returned to their homes, handing out their numbers to each other.

Subaru looked down at her phone. Ryu…didn't seem too bad.

Issei was sitting on this side, eating popcorn. 

He was right! Ryu was gay!
