After an hour,
In Akira's room.
Yuigahama Yui was wearing Akira's T-shirt, lying on the bed, watching him draw his manga.
"Aren't you going back to your room?" Akira asked.
"I... If I go back, Hina and Yumiko will definitely ask me." Yuigahama Yui blushed.
"I really can't do anything about you. I'll go get you pajamas. If you stay by my side like this, it will affect my sleep time." Su Yu stood up and said.
"Akira-kun, you're such a bad guy." Yuigahama Yui shyly hid in the quilt and whispered.
After finishing his drawing, he left the bedroom.
As he came to the door of the small bedroom and knocked.
Knock-Knock
After a few seconds.
Ebina Hina opened the door.
When she saw that it was Akira, she give him a teasing smile.
When—
"Can I rest with you?" Akira asked in his usual tone.
"!!!"
Ebina Hina was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, she finally reacted after calming down.
"Of course, come in, Fujimiya-kun."
Ebina Hina made way for him to come inside.
Inside, Yumiko Miura looked at Akira, who walked in with a blush on her face.
She didn't expect that Ebina Hina would agree to such a thing so easily.
"Yumiko, do you want to sleep on the bed or on the floor?"
Ebina Hina looked at Miura Yuiko with her usual playful smile.
"I...I'm fine with anything." Yumiko Miura said in a low voice.
"Then let Fujimiya-kun choose, I am find with both by the way~" Ebina Hina said with a smile.
"...Can I choose both?" Akira said after hesitating for a moment.
When Yumiko Miura heard this, her face turned even redder.
What does that mean? Does it refer to a place to rest or....
"Fujimiya-kun is really greedy. However, I have always had a good impression of you. So, Let's go together, Yumiko, is that okay?" Ebina Hina looked at Miura Yumiko.
"I...I'm fine." Yumiko Miura's voice became even softer.
After hearing her answer, Akira walked towards Miura Yumiko.
As the distance closed.
Yumika Miura lowered her head in shame.
Then, Akira picked her up in a princess carry.
Ebina Hina smiled, as she looked at them without saying anything, as she opened a corner of the quilt of the futon.
Akira lowered himself as he put Miura Yumiko down on the futon.
"Wait a moment." Akira said gently.
"Mhm," Yumiko Miura blushed, nodded.
Akira stood up, took Yuigahama Yui's pajamas and threw them beside the bed.
Before, he came to Miura Yumiko's side and lay down.
Ebina Hina went to turn off the lights and lay down on the futon next to her.
The room fell silent instantly.
For a moment, the only sound was the breathing of the three people.
Akira held Miura Yumiko in his arms, one of his hands wandering around in an unruly manner.
Miura Yumiko leaned her head in his arms, not daring to make any sound, for fear that Ebina Hina would hear it.
This continue for sometime with Akira's hand getting bolder making it difficult for Yumiko.
A few minutes later.
Akira lifted Miura Yumiko's chin and kissed her gently.
Yumiko Miura responded gently, her body trembling slightly, and she seemed to be a little happy.
In her passionate moment, she might have forgotten one thing—
Ebina Hina next to her is no fool, neither is she a fast sleeper, so she can naturally hear all kinds of sounds that Yumiko was making.
Her face felt a little hot, she didn't dare to open her eyes as she relax her breathing.
Ten minutes later.
Akira withdrew his unruly hand.
He looked at Yumiko Miura in his arms, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and stood up.
Yui was still waiting for her Pajama.
Yumiko Miura knew that Akira wanted to return to Yuigahama Yui, she felt a little sad but did not stop him.
Akira took Yuigahama Yui's pajamas from the bed.
When passing by Ebina Hina.
He stare at her with knowledge look.
After glancing at Miura Yumiko who had her back to the two of them, he leaned over and gave Ebina Hina a light kiss on her lips.
Before pulling back, when—
Ebina Hina suddenly opened her eyes, hugged Akira's neck, and kissed him actively.
Akira was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ebina Hime to be so bold.
One minute later.
Ebina Hina let go of Akira and turned her back to the door.
Seeing this, he simply smiled.
As he left the room.
....
After Akira left.
Ebina Hina looked at Miura Yuko,
"Yumiko, go change your clothes."
"Hina..."
"I know you brought more than just your pajamas in your bag." Ebina Hina said softly.
"You also brought more than just you pajamas, you also brought that thing..." Yumiko Miura turned around and looked at her good friend, her face heavy with blushed.
"I prepared it for you. I can't use it."
"Hina, you... you don't want to..."
"For now, I want to be a bystander. Once the relationship between you two and Akira is stable, I will step out of my role as a bystander."
"I don't understand Hina's thoughts, but if you need an opportunity, Yui and I are willing to help you create it."
.....
Early morning.
The weather wasn't good today.
You could feel it the moment you woke up—the air was heavy and gray, and the clouds outside hinted at rain.
Akira Fujimiya checked the weather forecast on his phone. It confirmed what he already suspected: rain was coming.
From downstairs came the sound of a car engine starting. He knew right away that Hiratsuka-sensei had left for school early again.
Akira stretched, got up, and quietly put on his clothes. His gaze shifted to Yuigahama Yui, still asleep beside him. Her breathing was soft and even, her hair slightly messy, strands sticking to her cheeks.
He smiled faintly before leaving the bedroom.
The moment he stepped into the living room, a gentle aroma of breakfast reached his nose.
In the kitchen, Ebina Hina and Miura Yumiko were busy preparing food. The sound of oil sizzling and utensils clinking filled the air.
"Thank you for your hard work," Akira said softly, his tone calm yet sincere.
"This is what we should do," Ebina Hina replied with a warm smile, brushing her hair behind her ear.
"Yes," Yumiko Miura nodded, trying to hide the faint blush on her face.
Akira gave a small nod in return and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After refreshing himself, he returned to the small bedroom to fetch Yui's clothes.
He sat on the edge of the bed and gently called out, "Yui, wake up."
Yuigahama Yui stirred, rubbing her eyes like a child unwilling to leave her dreams. She stretched out her arms toward him without opening her eyes, wordlessly asking for help.
Akira couldn't help but chuckle. "You really are hopeless."
He helped her sit up and began dressing her carefully, moving with practiced ease.
After she was done, Yui yawned, still half-asleep.
"Even though I slept for a long time, I still feel very sleepy," she muttered, her voice soft and drowsy.
Akira smirked. "They say all fools are like that."
"I'm not stupid," she protested weakly, pouting as she looked up at him.
"Then change your clothes yourself next time," Akira said lightly.
"I… I was just giving you a chance, not being lazy."
"Chance? I don't want that kind of opportunity. I know you too well."
Yui puffed up her cheeks in frustration, clearly annoyed.
Akira laughed quietly and reached out to pinch her cheek.
Yui turned her head away, cheeks red. "You're so mean, Akira-kun."
"Little Dummy," Akira murmured, pulling her into a gentle hug.
"Help me put on my socks and shoes," Yui said, resting her chin on his shoulder.
"You rely on me too much," Akira sighed, crouching down and picking up her socks. "What will you do in the future if I'm not around?"
"I… I only rely on Akira-kun occasionally," she whispered, her tone shy yet tinged with sadness. "Once you marry Yukino, I won't have this opportunity anymore. So, now is the time…"
Akira paused.
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were downcast.
"I see," he said softly after a moment. "However, your worries are unnecessary. I'm confident I can still help you with small things. Maybe even help you into a maid outfit, or a kimono, when the time comes."
Yui blinked, taken aback by his teasing tone, then smiled shyly.
Akira crouched again to help her with her shoes, adjusting the laces neatly.
Once he was done, Yui stood up and suddenly wrapped her arms around him.
"Okay," he said gently, returning the embrace. "Go wash up. It's time for breakfast."
"Akira-kun…" Yui's voice softened as she buried her face in his chest. "I like you more and more. So much that I can't live without you."
Akira's eyes softened. "I like you too, little dummy," he murmured, hugging her tighter.
"I really hope that day will come sooner," Yui whispered, looking up at him.
He knew what she meant—that day. He smiled faintly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.
Yui leaned against him again, her warmth pressing softly against his chest.
For a few quiet minutes, the room was filled with nothing but the sound of their breathing.
Finally, Yui let go.
As Akira took her hand, and together, they left the bedroom.
.....
After breakfast, the small apartment filled with the sounds of laughter and clinking dishes.
Ebina Hina was washing the plates, while Yumiko Miura wiped down the counter.
Yui, now fully awake, helped with drying utensils, though she occasionally glanced at Akira with an affectionate smile.
He sat by the window, sipping his coffee, his expression calm as he listened to the three of them chat.
"Looks like the rain really will come soon," Yumiko said, peering outside.
"Yeah," Hina agreed, "we should bring umbrellas just in case."
"Akira-kun, do you have one?" Yui asked.
"Of course. I always do," he replied simply.
"Wow, you're so well-prepared," Ebina teased. "As expected of Fujimiya-kun."
Yui puffed her cheeks again. "He's just pretending to be responsible."
Akira chuckled. "You say that, but who's the one who forgot her umbrella three times last week?"
Yui's eyes widened. "T-that was just bad luck!"
Hina and Yumiko both laughed, and even Akira couldn't hold back a small grin.
After the light breakfast banter, they began getting ready to leave.
