They both lay together thinking of what to do next.
"So... How was your outing? " Himari asked awkwardly.
"Well, it was okay. I was able to exterminate a problem." Akira said.
After that response, the room fell silent again.
'What should we do now? Should I hug him or kiss him? ... Ugh! This is so aggravating.' Himari mulled.
While Himari was still thinking of what to do, Akira left his position and kissed the unsuspecting Himari on the lips.
"...!" Himari was shocked by Akira's action. She tried to break free but Akira's grip was just too strong.
Soon after, Akira deepened the kiss which made Himari blush really hard. Her face turned red each minute their kiss progressed filling the room with an erotic air.
When Akira saw Himari's flushed cheeks, he smirked and then released her from the kiss. Himari immediately gasped for air as she was released from the kiss.
It turns out she didn't know how to breathe while kissing so she held her breath the entire time they were kissing.
"You need to learn how to breathe while kissing. One more minute and you'd have fainted." Akira teased.
"Hmph! Meanie!" Himari snorted.
"What was that? I didn't quite hear you." Akira said with a grin.
"It's nothing."
"Really? Are you lying to me? You know you'll be punished for lying to me." Akira said in a playful tone as he got closer to Himari again.
"W-Wait before you start again, I think you need to take a shower. You stink." Himari defended herself as she didn't want to be kept kissed that long again.
"But you said you didn't care if I smell. Why are you changing it now?" Akira asked.
"That was then and this is now. You're stinking now so go take a shower or you'll sleep on the couch." Himari said in a commanding tone.
Akira just raised an eyebrow at her statement.
'You do know I own this place right.'
"Alright, you win. I'll go take a shower. But once I'm back, we'll continue from where we stopped." Akira said with a grin then walked into the bathroom.
Soon after, Himari heard the shower turn on and then started thinking of what to do to avoid his kisses.
"I have to think fast."
Minutes later, Akira walked out of the bathroom looking fresh and happy, just to find Himari already sleeping on the bed.
"What? She's asleep already." Akira pouted.
But when Akira moved closer to Himari, he saw Himari open her eyes then she quickly closed it back. Akira grinned.
'So she was pretending.'
Akira walked closer to her and then moved his face closer to hers.
"That was a good plan but I was still able to see through it." Akira said with a grin.
After Akira said this statement, Himari's mind ran wild.
'Uh! He knows I'm pretending to sleep. What am I going to do now?!' Himari thought as Akira extended his lips for a kiss.
Eventually, Himari couldn't think of anything and just extended get lips waiting for a kiss. After a while, Himari was expecting a kiss on the lips but she didn't receive any. Rather she received a kiss on her forehead.
"Just go to bed early. We're going to the campus tomorrow." Akira said.
Himari just nodded her head with flushed cheeks and went to bed.
.....
The next day, Himari is seen in her wheelchair but this time she's in front of a luxurious-looking university.
"Wow! This place looks so cool." Himari exclaimed.
"Hey Aki, what's the name of this university."
"Kinoshita University of Wisdom."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"That's a dumb name."
"Hey watch your mouth." Akira knocked Himari's head. "The Kinoshita family is the second most powerful in Japan. They're right below us." Akira said.
".. gasp.. Sorry. "
"It's alright. Come on, let's go in." Akira said as he pushed Himari's wheelchair into the campus.
Once they walked in, all the students they passed by looked at them and whispered something to themselves.
The king has found his lost love
The news about Akira beating up a guy and destroying the Fukushima household to save his long-lost childhood sweetheart spread like wildfire.
Everyone knew about Akira's chivalry and also his wrath. They also established that if they wanted to live peacefully, they should not annoy Himari, or else, their lives would be over.
Himari felt embarrassed as she saw that everyone was looking at her like that.
Actually, she thought they were looking at her because she was with Akira. She didn't know that they were afraid of her.
As they walked down the hall, someone from behind called Akira's name. When Akira turned around, his expression turned sour.
Shit! I forgot about her.
"Miss Machiko, what do you want?" Akira asked solemnly.
"Aww, you are so mean. Why did you answer like that?" Machiko said like a little child, then she turned her attention to the girl in the wheelchair.
"Who is that?" She said as she pointed to Himari.
"Oh hey there. I'm Himari Fujioka, Akira's girlfriend." Himari said with slightly flushed cheeks.
Akira just smiled at Himari's innocence. Meanwhile, Machiko had a disgusted expression on her face but it turned back to normal before anyone could notice.
"Anyway, Akira, I need to talk to you in private." Machiko said solemnly.
"Hmmm, okay. Himari wait here for me." Akira agreed reluctantly.
Himari nodded her head as Akira and Machiko left together.
'Such a weird girl.' Himari thought to herself.
If only she knew who that weird girl truly was.
....
After Akira and Machiko got to a secluded place, Akira stopped as he was impatient to hear what Machiko had to say.
"Okay, we're in private. What is it?" Akira asked coldly.
"You're still as impatient as ever, I see. Anyway, let me cut to the chase. The two-year wait has ended and now you have to keep your end of the bargain. "
Her expression immediately turned serious.
"You must accept the engagement with me, or else, Himari will suffer." Machiko said coldly.
"What!?"
