Miyuki, lost in thought as she gazed out the window from the steaming bath, was jolted back to reality by the sudden downpour.
‘Rain…’
One corner of Miyuki’s mouth lifted slightly.
It always rained after she and Matsuda had sex.
Would it snow instead of rain in the winter, too? How strange.
By now, the rain felt almost expected.
Filled with a sudden surge of sentimentality, Miyuki replayed Matsuda’s first time finishing inside her.
It was… surprisingly okay.
She liked feeling his penis swell just before he came; it let her know just how aroused he was.
The feeling of something warm and wriggling swimming inside her wasn’t bad either.
The aftermath was messy and troublesome, but it was worth it, considering the deeper connection they seemed to have forged.
‘Should I… take the morning-after pill…?’
She wasn’t ovulating, so she wasn’t too worried, but she still felt like she should take precautions.
When was she supposed to take it again?
She vaguely remembered from sex ed class that it was supposed to be taken within two or three days of engaging in unprotected intercourse.
Weren’t there side effects, too? Like irregular bleeding and headaches…
She couldn’t quite recall, but she suddenly felt reluctant to take it.
Come to think of it, they should have used a condom. Why hadn’t she thought of that?
Since their first time, they’d never used one, so it felt natural to just skip it… She realized just how limited her knowledge about sex was.
She needed to do some research online.
Miyuki grabbed a towel from the nearby rack, dried her hands, and opened her phone’s browser. An advertisement for a kotatsu popped up.
It was getting colder. Should she buy one?
The heater was warm, but it wasn’t as cozy as a kotatsu…
She imagined herself and Matsuda studying together, snuggled under the kotatsu blanket…
‘Okay…’
Excited by the image of their cozy future, Miyuki pushed aside her worries about contraception and pregnancy and started browsing kotatsu products.
A good quality kotatsu, a floor chair with back support, cute decorations for the tabletop…
As she excitedly added items to her cart, she suddenly thought of Chinami.
She had a good eye for cute things. She should ask her for recommendations.
Of course, everything would be Momo-chan themed, but she actually liked Momo-chan too, so it didn’t matter.
As she continued browsing, lost in thought—
*buzz!*
[Miyuki, are you still asleep?]
A notification popped up at the top of her screen: a message from Tetsuya. Miyuki flinched.
“Oh, right…” She’d promised to call him back. She’d completely forgotten.
She called Tetsuya immediately, and he answered before the first ring.
-You’re awake?
“Yeah. Why did you call earlier?”
-I told you. I was wondering what you were doing on the weekend…
Oh, did he?
She must not have heard him properly, distracted by Matsuda’s playful teasing.
“I was thinking of just resting.”
-Really…? Are you feeling okay?
“I’m fine…? Why do you ask?”
-Your voice sounded a little off earlier… If you’re up for it, want to go for a walk today?
Her legs were still wobbly. If she went for a walk, she’d probably collapse.
Besides, she didn’t want to go home yet. She wanted to cuddle with Matsuda and fall asleep in his arms. She had zero intention of going out.
“No.”
-W-woah, that was blunt… That’s too bad. Let’s do it next time then.
“Yeah, next time. Tetsuya-kun, I need to shower, so I’ll hang up now.”
-Want to talk again after your shower?
“No. I want to rest today.”
-Oh, okay… Sorry. I wanted to ask you one more thing. About the playground last time… never mind. It’s nothing.
Tetsuya trailed off mid-sentence.
Miyuki tilted her head at his odd behavior. Normally, she would have pressed him, but she wasn’t particularly curious right now, so she let it go.
“Okay. You get some rest too, Tetsuya-kun. Bye.”
-“Yeah. See you.”
Miyuki hung up and took a thorough shower.
After drying off, she put on a padded camisole and fluffy pajamas and stepped out of the bathroom, where she ran into Matsuda, who was just coming out of the other bathroom.
His toned, muscular upper body, and the long, thick thing dangling between his legs…
Miyuki quickly averted her gaze and scolded him, “Matsuda-kun! Put some clothes on…!”
“I was just about to.”
“…”
She’d seen Matsuda naked plenty of times, but why did she still feel so shy whenever she saw him like this outside of sex?
It was especially bad today. Maybe because it was a special day.
“Miyuki, come here.”
Matsuda, now fully dressed, was sitting on the veranda with his legs dangling over the edge, the window wide open.
Miyuki, thinking how relaxed he looked, sat down next to him. He pulled a thick blanket over them and moved her legs outside.
*plip*
Raindrops, carried by the wind, landed on her feet, and a cool breeze sent shivers up her legs.
“Cold…!” Miyuki complained, curling her toes.
Matsuda smiled at her.
“It’s not entirely unpleasant, though, is it?”
“…A little…?”
It was true. Her lower body was cold, but her upper body was warm… the contrast was strangely pleasant.
The sound of the rain and the earthy scent wafting up added to the romantic atmosphere.
“Are you cold?” Matsuda asked, putting his arm around her.
Miyuki slowly shook her head.
“No…”
“Want to stay like this for a while?”
“Yes.”
*pat*
Miyuki leaned her head against Matsuda’s broad shoulder.
She suddenly felt drowsy. It hadn’t been a particularly eventful day, but what had happened was significant enough to leave her physically and mentally exhausted.
If she fell asleep now, Matsuda would carry her inside.
“Yawn…”
Deciding to relax, Miyuki yawned and closed her eyes.
