Kiyotaka placed Horikita on the bathroom sink. Horikita face looked shy as she hugged herself, wearing something that looked like a small green leaf. Seeing her, Kiyotaka put on a surprised expression.
"Why? Horikita, are you going to take a bath in this?" he asked while holding back a smile.
Hearing that, Horikita immediately turned red up to her ears. She lowered her head while whining softly, "It's not like that, but don't make fun of me."
Kiyotaka looked at her curiously. "What did I make fun of you?"
However, Horikita did not answer. She lifted both of her legs slowly, her movements full of awkwardness but also looked seductive. At that moment, Kiyotaka unconsciously thought, "This really is like finding treasure."
Horikita who noticed the change in Kiyotaka expression covered her face with her hands. In an annoyed tone, she said, "See, you're really laughing at me!"
Kiyotaka smiled a little, but he knew this was not the time to joke around any further. In a gentle tone, he said while stroking Horikita hair, "I'm not joking. In fact, I'm very happy. Do you know how precious this is? I really feel lucky."
Horikita face slowly softened. "Really?..."
"Of course," Kiyotaka replied with a smile. "You don't have to be so wary of me. I promised not to touch you today. Don't you trust me?"
Horikita could only nod slowly. Hesitantly, she lowered her hands that had been covering her body, letting Kiyotaka see everything. Her pure white skin looked perfect, and even though her face was red from embarrassment, she still showed a little courage.
Kiyotaka carefully adjusted the temperature of the shower water, then directed the shower head towards Horikita. The sudden flow of water made her flinch in surprise.
"Ah~" she sighed softly, reflexively because of the cold sensation of the water touching her body.
Kiyotaka smiled slightly and pulled Horikita so that her body was completely wet. After making sure everything was wet, he took the body wash and rubbed it until it foamed on his hands.
"I'll help rub your soap," he said in a calm tone.
Horikita just nodded shyly, barely able to speak. Kiyotaka started rubbing her back gently. The touch of Kiyotaka hands made Horikita feel her body tremble lightly, while the coldness of the soap slowly spread throughout her body.
However, Kiyotaka didn't stop there. He continued gently, but deeper, revealing a side of Horikita that she had never seen before. His touch made Horikita feel like she was in a whirlwind of confusing emotions.
Horikita tried to keep her balance, but her legs started to weaken. Kiyotaka quickly caught her body and hugged her tightly.
"Are you okay?" he asked in a caring tone.
Horikita just nodded weakly. Her body was completely soaked, and she felt like a weak little doll in Kiyotaka's hands. However, even so, she showed no signs of wanting to refuse.
After finishing cleaning Horikita's body, Kiyotaka helped her dry her body gently, then carried her to bed. He covered Horikita's body with a thick blanket.
"You look really tired today," Kiyotaka said as he sat down beside the bed. "Go to sleep for a while."
Horikita, who was already too tired, could only nod slowly. "Thank you," she whispered before finally falling asleep.
Kiyotaka sat beside her for a moment, looking at Horikita's peaceful sleeping face. Inwardly, he asked himself, "Why does this all feel like part of a bigger plan?"
However, he decided not to think too much about it. After making sure that Horikita was really asleep, Kiyotaka left the room and returned to his own. He threw himself on the bed and took a deep breath.
"It's been a long day," he muttered before finally falling asleep.
