“What the hell are you talking about? Are you crazy?!”
Shizu-senpai reflexively stepped back from us but that only made her tumble down.
“You wanted to know, right? I’m afraid that’s the only way for him to trust you, Shizu-nee.”
Nami went over her and helped her stand up. Since she started it, I’ll watch for now. Taking Shizu-senpai as my woman. Though it sounds serious, it’s meant to scare her.
“Why does it involve becoming his woman?”
Shizu-senpai took Nami’s hand and stood up. Though she tumbled down from her surprise, she recovered immediately when Nami went to help her.
“You’ll know when you become one.”
Since Nami couldn’t explain it properly, I need to step up and help her.
“Shizu-senpai, I really wanted to trust you. Won’t you give me a chance?”
I asked her.
Shizu-senpai’s head turned to me when she heard my voice.
“I don’t understand your thought process Onoda-kun. And you even influenced Nanami. Why do I need to become your woman? Is that what you are? A playboy?”
Ah. She also recovered her clarity, it seems. However, this is the ideal scenario. I want her to question it.
“Like Nami said, unless you become my woman, you wouldn’t get why even after showing Nami that picture, she still wanted to stay with me.”
I explained to her.
Though in actuality, Nami is technically still not mine. We’re still in our ‘stolen time’. But Shizu-senpai was determined to break us up so we have no choice but to do this. For her to stop.
“Nanami, what did he do to you? Is he blackmailing you? Tell me. I’ll do everything to kick him out of this school.”
Shizu-senpai ignored me and turned to Nami instead.
“No, Shizu-nee. Ruu truly likes me, you should stop accusing him of things he didn’t do. The only thing he did to me is…”
Nami trailed her voice as her gaze switched back to me.
“…making me fall in love with him.”
Completing her sentence, Nami’s face blushed as she shyly covered it with her hands.
This girl, is this her confessing to me?
Seeing that display of affection by Nami, Shizu-senpai was stumped. Just from her reaction, it’s hard not to determine if Nami is telling the truth.
“Really, what kind of man is he? I still remember how you talked about Kazuo. Now, you’re completely in love with this dubious guy.”
Shizu-senpai put a hand on her forehead.
Because of his indecisiveness, I’ve already replaced him in her heart. No wonder she will stop talking about him.
“You’ll know if you spend time with him, Shizu-nee. Because your impression of him is bad, you started thinking that everything he does is bad. That’s called prejudice. You never even wanted to hear him out, right?”
Nami slowly explained to Shizu-senpai. Honestly, I’m amazed that she clearly understood what’s really going on in Shizu-senpai’s mind.
It’s true, she’s too prejudiced when it comes to me. I suddenly showed up as Nami’s boyfriend. I talked back to her during that time and took Nami away without us getting into an understanding. Then two days later, she found me taking Satsuki out of school. Of course, she judged that I’m just a bastard that’s taking advantage of Nami.
Though I really am one, she thought that I’m tricking Nami and that’s why she wanted to break us apart. That’s what led us here.
“I… You’re right. I never wanted to hear his side. I just want him to leave your side. You really changed, Nanami and he’s clearly the reason. I thought his influence is turning you bad so…”
Looking at her like this, her words were really full of concern towards Nami. She’s really amazing in that regard. What made her want to protect Nami like that?
“Thank you Shizu-nee. Your promise to protect me from anything that will hurt me, you’re already doing that for how many years already? But this time, Ruu is not hurting me. In fact, he’s treating me as someone really special to him.”
Nami held out her hand to me, asking me to come near them.
I nodded and took her hand and when I did, Nami pulled me in and hugged me in front of Shizu-senpai.
“I get it, Nanami. Let’s say you’re truly in love with him and he didn’t trick you. But how can he explain his relationship towards that girl?”
Though she directed the question to Nami, Shizu-senpai was looking straight at me.
Nami looked up as if asking if we should tell her now but I shook my head as an answer.
If I tell her that I’m also in a relationship with Satsuki, everything we just explained will flip her view back to the opposite side. We need to prepare her mind first so she will accept it without adding more questions.
“Let me spend some time with you, Shizu-senpai. That way, we can reach an understanding between us.”
Without Nami answering her question, I opened my mouth and told her what’s on my mind. To spend some time with her. If she kept on her prejudiced view of me then we will really never understand each other.
“So, in the end, you still want me to become your woman? Are you still not content with Nanami and the other girl?”
Shizu-senpai scoffed at my words, thinking that’s what I am aiming at for asking to spend some time with her.
“It’s not that. I just wanted you to know who I really am. I will never hurt Nami, I can assure you of that. I’ll never hurt someone I love.”
Turning the like to love, I saw Nami smiling when she heard me saying that. We really just need to clear up my past for her to decide whether she wanted to stay with me or not.
After calming Shizu-senpai down where she won’t meddle with us anymore, I’ll immediately tell Nami about my past and take her as mine.
“…Nanami, what do you think?”
Shizu-senpai pondered over my answer and when she couldn’t find the words to answer me back, she turned to Nami.
“Spend time with him Shizu-nee, he’s not really bad like what you are thinking.”
Nami answered her. For her, she probably also wants Shizu-senpai to understand our relationship and to not be against it.
“Then tell me one thing first and I’ll agree to give him a chance by spending some time with him.”
I see. She still wanted to know about Satsuki. I guess it’s fine to tell her about it now.
“Alright. What do you want to know, Shizu-senpai? I promise I’ll answer it truthfully.”
Though I already know what she will ask, hearing me agreeing to it and promising I will answer truthfully will give a better effect.
“That basketball club girl, what’s your real relationship with her?”
“The same as Nami, she’s a girl I love.”
Without hesitation, I gave her the answer she’s probably waiting to hear.
“So that means, you’re admitting you’re two-timing them?”
No. Really, there’s not only two but I guess this is enough for now. She’ll truly break if she finds out that there’s more than 10 of them already.
“I wouldn’t call it two-timing but I guess that’s what it looked like in the eyes of normal people. As you can see, Nami isn’t against it. She knew that when I’m with her, she is my only focus.”
“So, are you saying you’re not normal?”
Of course, I’m not normal. Who would admit at two-timing in front of his girlfriend’s older sister while his girlfriend is also beside him watching the interrogation?
“Yes. I’m not. However, my feelings towards Nami, it’s all true.”
If she’s still not convinced by this, then I don’t know what I will do with this girl…
“Alright. You answered me honestly. If I back out from what I said then I shouldn’t be the president anymore. Spending time to know who you really are, I’ll do it.”
Shizu-senpai nodded and accepted the proposal of my spending time with her. At least she’s true to her words. I’m getting more fond of her this way.
“Thank you Shizu-nee!”
Nami was overjoyed when Shizu-senpai finally accepted. She immediately went over and hugged her, like a little sister to her older sister.
“Thank you, senpai. I’m looking forward to spending time with you.”
I honestly thanked her. Well, I’m already thinking of other ways if she still won’t bend.
“Don’t be too happy yet, I’ll take you to the student council as my secretary. As you can see, I don’t really have much time, so this spending time you’re saying will be done there.”
Ah. Student Council again. I remembered Haruko from it.
“No problem, as long as I can prove to you that I’m someone you can trust with Nami.”
And maybe take her for me as well? I don’t know. We’ll see. As long as we’re alone, I can slowly understand this overprotective girl.
“I’ll expect you tomorrow. Skip your club and go to the Student Council Room.”
I guess I’ll excuse myself to the club for two days. Err, I’ll drop by later to see their state at least.
“Yes, senpai.”
I smiled at her but Shizu-senpai didn’t have any reaction to it. I guess that’s fair.
“One thing though. Earlier, Nami, you told me to become his woman. Are you serious about that? Me, sharing this guy with you?”
That won’t be bad, to be honest. But yeah, those words were just used as a foundation for us to reach this point. I wouldn’t mind it if she accepted though.
“Yes, Shizu-nee. I don’t mind if you also fall for him.” .𝘤𝑜𝑚
Err… Nami. I thought you’re just playing along with me.
“Really… Haa, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’ll leave you two alone now and I promise I’ll stop meddling, you can rest assured.”
Shizu-senpai released a sigh and finally accepted our relationship.
“Shizu-senpai. Thank you.”
“Ugh. Don’t thank me yet, I’m going to evaluate you again after our agreement. For the meantime, if you hurt Nanami, you know who you will fight against.”
Fighting her? I wouldn’t be afraid of it but yeah, it won’t happen.
“You can trust me on Nami, I really love this girl.”
Shizu-senpai didn’t respond again and just closed the door after leaving the room.
“Ruu…”
As soon as Shizu-senpai left, Nami called out to me.
I turned around and pulled her closer to me. Without exchanging any words, I embraced her and kissed her lips.
From how she called out to me, I already expected what she wanted to ask. I’ll better show it to her first so that she will understand that I’m serious.
From just overlapping our lips together, I became bolder and sucked on her lower lips. After our previous kisses, Nami is starting to be experienced now, she also started sucking and soon, our tongue met each other and entangled themselves.
From where we are, I slowly moved us back to our chair. After putting her on my lap, we resumed our passionate kiss.
“Did I answer what you’re about to ask?”
She’s about to ask me if what I said about loving her is true. So there’s that. I conveyed it to her through our kiss.
“… Yes. I love you, Ruu.”
Nami visibly blushed before whispering those words to me, with the same amount of affection that I showed her.
“What about Ogawa?”
“Don’t talk about him. He still thinks we’re acting so…”
Ah. Maybe she still doesn’t want to deal with him for now but there will come a time where we will tell him that the act became real without him knowing when.
“You’re right, it’s not the right time yet. Now that we’ve dealt with Shizu-senpai, will you hear me out?”
Nami nodded as she circled her arms around my neck. This lovely girl became more beautiful now that she admitted her true feelings for me.
Maybe I can expect the scary observer girl again. These past few days, her feelings were a bit jumbled that she was somehow not acting as herself. She stopped observing people as she became more concerned about her own state.
Telling her about my past until my present with her. Nami listened intently. She will sometimes ask me things that she couldn’t understand or things she was curious about.
When I finished my story, the lunch break was already about to end. Nami now looked at me in a different light.
“I didn’t think it was that bad but thank you for being honest with me, Ruu. Truthfully, you don’t have any of the traces of what you were before. I fell in love with the you here, not the you of the past. Though you couldn’t erase any of it, you already stopped doing those things, right?”
Nami gave me her honest evaluation of my past that I just told her. And from the way she said it, it didn’t bother her that much as she’s looking at the me right now and not the me of the past.
“Un. I started changing upon becoming a high schooler and honestly, I couldn’t do it without your help. You and the other girls helped me to become like this now.”
Starting with Kana, then that incident with Yae, Akane barging in my room, and then Satsuki which led me to the realization. Nami also helped me when I was a little lost after remembering this emotion, everything was really built up by them. Without their help, I’ll still be that guy driven only by his desire.
“You told me to choose if I will stay or not. I don’t need to answer that anymore. I’ve already chosen my answer even before this.”
Nami took the initiative to kiss me this time and before the lunch break ended, we spent the remaining time making out in this empty clubroom.
Nami, she’s mine now.
