Chapter 70: A Debauched White Day
While Kaede had been drying her hair and taking care of her skin, I took advantage of the time to hide the gift I had bought her at her bedside.
“What’s going on all of a sudden, Yuya-kun? A present? My birthday is still a long way away, you know? We just talked about not caring about our anniversary, and…”
Kaede was thinking with a puzzled look on her face. I didn’t know how it was that she remembered everything about Valentine’s Day and other occasions when she was the one giving the gift, but when she was the one receiving it, she instantly became stupefied. Well, maybe it was a good thing that it was an unintentional surprise.
“Hey, Kaede. What day of the month is it today?”
“Eh? Today? The date has already changed, so it’s March the 14th… eh!? Could it be…!”
“Yeah, yeah. I guess you finally noticed. Today is White Day. I chose this as a token of my appreciation for Kaede. I hope… you’ll accept it?”
I struggled to keep my voice from trembling and handed the package to Kaede, worried that she could hear the sound of my racing heart.
Kaede received it, but for some reason, she turned her head and didn’t say a word. Silence descended in the already quiet night. I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my mouth. This nervousness was on the same level as when I confessed my feelings under the stars.
“Yuya-kun… can I open it, please?”
After a while, Kaede asked me by squeezing out her voice, and I nodded my head in silence. The silence, which seemed to last forever, was over, but what came next was the difficult task of watching the package open.
Kaede carefully and slowly unwrapped the package, even though she could have just torn it open. I was thirsty. Even the sound of gulping and swallowing was so loud.
Finally, Kaede finished removing the packaging. She opened the light pink cubic box that appeared from it with trembling hands.
“Is this… a watch…? And the cat… it’s cute.”
“Kaede has a kittenish side, so I thought it would look good on you. Besides, I don’t see you wearing a watch, so I thought it would be just fine.”
I thought it was perfect for her because sometimes she was cute and sweet like a kitten and other times she was bewitching like a panther. The color pink gold was not only cute, but also had a luster which created a mature atmosphere. It would look great on Kaede’s white porcelain skin.
“I’ve thought about other things besides watches, like necklaces and bracelets… but a watch would be something you could wear to school or whatever, right? So, you know… it’s like you’re always with me… I thought it would appeal to you that Kaede is my girlfriend.”
I didn’t know what I was talking about anymore.
I wondered if she would think of me if she wore the watch all the time, or if I would be happy if I could see Kaede wearing the watch I gave her, every day. But Kaede didn’t answer anything, instead, she gently took the watch out of the box and stared at it.
“Ka, Kaede…? H-how is it? Do you like it?”
I feel uneasy when you don’t say anything. I still thought it would have been better to go for a safe necklace or bangle. I thought the color would have suited her, but maybe she didn’t like pink gold? I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I couldn’t stop regretting it. Oh, I’m going to cry.
“Eh? Yuya-kun? Why do you look like you’re about to cry?”
“… Because, Kaede didn’t say anything about it, so I was afraid that you didn’t like it…”
“Why would you think so? I apologize that I didn’t say anything, but that was because I was so happy with the gift that was filled with Yuya-kun’s thoughts that I couldn’t say a word.”
I looked up at those words. Kaede’s cheeks were flushed, and although her expression was smiling, there was a light in her eyes that looked like it was about to spill out.
“You worked so hard to choose this for me, didn’t you? That feeling alone makes me very happy. In addition, as Yuya-kun said, just by wearing this, I will be able to feel Yuya-kun close by. Fufu. I think it’s a wonderful idea. Yuya-kun is a bit of a romantic sometimes, isn’t he?”
Kaede smiled, adding that my confession was also under the starry sky.
“Hey, Yuya-kun. Will you put the watch on my hand? I want you to put it on me first, not me.”
Kaede then handed me the watch and held out her left hand. I felt embarrassed as if I were putting on a ring at a wedding, but I couldn’t refuse Kaede’s expectant gaze. Okay, I’ll just think of it as practice before the show.
I took Kaede’s hand and gently slid the watch through and quickly fastened the metal clasp. I was worried about the size, but it fit perfectly.
“Thank you. Fufu. This cat face dial is adorable for sure. The color is cute too, I really like it. Thank you so much, Yuya-kun.”
“I’m happy for you too, Kaede, if you’re happy with it. I was wondering what I’d do if you didn’t like it.”
“Mou! Why would you be afraid that I wouldn’t like the gift that Yuya-kun has worked so hard to choose for me!? I’m so happy that I want to jump out in joy, but I’m just trying my best to hold back!”
To jump out. If she was that happy, then it was worth it to go to Taka-san’s house to ask for advice and talk to the clerk about Kaede.
“… I’m excited to see that satisfied look on Yuya’s face. Hey, can I kiss you? Or rather…”
Kaede’s arms went around my neck and she pulled me in for a kiss. Her tongue naturally invaded my mouth and entwined itself with mine. ‘Kuchi, kuchi’ – As the sounds rang out, I wanted to surrender myself to the deep kiss and stop thinking about anything.
“Haaa… fufu. I love you, Yuya-kun. You, more than anyone else.”
“K-Kaede… I love you too.”
“Huh. Yuya-kun, you look so debauched. Did it feel that good?”
“…A-ah. It felt so, so good…”
It was natural to feel debauched while simultaneously savoring the feel of Kaede’s sweet, honey-like saliva and her soft, mochi-like tongue as they intertwined with mine.
“Me too. I feel like this is going to become a habit. But it’s not a good idea to do it before going to bed. I’ll get so excited that I won’t be able to sleep.”
“… I guess so. Let’s not do this before bed, shall we?”
I wondered when she would do it then, but I didn’t comment on it. If we kissed like this every night before going to bed, we would be in a state of debauchery. Or rather, it would happen even if it weren’t before bed.
“But what’s more important is the future, isn’t it? I have to prepare something so that Yuya-kun can become a wolf at any time.”
“…Hey, Kaede? What are you talking about? Could that be…?”
“It’s that thing. It’s obvious, isn’t it? A cond—-”
“I CAN’T LET YOU DO THIS!!!”
My scream gushed into the bedroom in the middle of the night.
I’m a healthy high school boy. It was not that I didn’t have such desires. I’m not going to say I won’t do it until I’m married or anything saintly like that. But because I love Kaede and care about her, I think I have to settle certain things first.
“Mou. How much do you care about me, Yuya-kun… I’m too happy.”
“This is obvious, isn’t it? Come on, it’s late, I’m going to bed. Get under the futon.”
I led Kaede into the futon and got into my usual position. I fell asleep feeling the warmth of my loved one at my chest.
That certain thing to settle was a rite of passage. It was a rite of passage that every man went through, and that was to greet his father-in-law. Only after overcoming this, I would be able to deepen your relationship with Kaede within the bounds of decency.
I need to work harder for that. I made up my mind and closed my eyelids.
