2-weeks later:
Since the Largin Alley incident, 2-whole weeks passed strangely.
Too quietly.
Yui didn't come to school for the first week and later when she did, people whispered.
They didn't know the details—only fragments. Like that she'd been attacked. That she'd almost been raped. And that someone had saved her.
Someone. No name.
But after the first week passed by Yui finally returned to school. And that was 2-days ago but during those two days Yui has been meeting up with me.
During those two days i realised just how beautiful Yui truly was, she was also shy, soft-spoken… and any moment she looked at my direction she always looked at me like I was some kind of hero.
Me. The shut-in who almost failed PE due to my legendary level laziness.
Life sure was strange. And of course i immediately knew this scenario, i was in the famous hero saves the damsel and nlw the damsel is deeply in love with her hero. Due to how safe she feels around her hero since he did save her.
And boy didn't i mind it.
From that moment onwards we talked. A lot.
And about 3-days of us knowing each other well especially from Yui's side, Yui suddenly confessed her love to me at the schools rooftop where i normally eat my lunch in peace and i of course took my chance and said yes. Then from that day we started dating.
We dated for a week—one whole perfect week of stupid happiness, and i still replayed each day in my head. We ate convenience store food together, headed to small restaurant's, then i walked her home.
We even held hands, which for a legendary lazy shut-in like me felt like winning the anime protagonist lottery.
Fuck you 60% of harem trope protagonist's out there! This is how you're supposed to be doing!
But on our 5th date something completely unexpected happened…
"Shiedo… can you walk me home?" Yui asked with trembling eyes.
Of course I said yes. But i was confused due to her request since i always walked her home everyday. So what made today special?
When we reached her apartment, she hesitated before opening the door. Then she looked at me, cheeks pink, her eyes locking on to me with uncontained lust.
"…Do you want to come inside?"
I did. Swallowing my saliva hard.
The moment i entered Yui suddenly turned around and kissed me for the first time. After two whole minutes we parted as we both needed air in our lungs.
"Whoa…" I breathed out.
My hand hovered near my mouth as I stared at Yui in shock.
"What was that for?" I asked, my voice quieter than I meant it to be.
Yui looked at me, really looked at me.
Then she beamed me a small and private smile made only for me—and said,
"You know… I've wanted to do that for a long time."
Her eyes darkened, just slightly. Not angry.
Not sad.
Focused.
She continued softly, "… You know i kept telling myself not to rush it. That if I forced myself onto you too quickly, it would make things strange or possibly ruin everything." Her fingers curled lightly at her side.
"Especially after what almost happened to me."
I laughed, a little awkward, trying to dispel the sudden tightness in my chest.
"Yeah… you're right about that."
She didn't laugh back.
Instead, Yui lowered her gaze, her lashes casting faint shadows over her eyes. After a moment, she spoke again.
"Can you wait here for a bit?" she asked. "There's something I want to show you."
I nodded without thinking.
She turned and walked away with an extra swing to her hips momentarily making me glued to her behind, but she eventually disappeared down the hall.
I leaned back against the wall, my heart still beating faster than it should have been. Slowly, almost unconsciously, I raised my fingers to my lips.
There was still warmth there.
I told myself it had to be my imagination—but the faint, lingering sensation proved otherwise.
Where did she go? And what could she possibly be doing?
A thought crossed my mind—one I immediately rejected.
No. That's impossible.
Even if she likes me… things don't move this fast. But what if it's true, then? Should i just...
I was still arguing with myself when I heard footsteps.
I looked up.
Yui had returned.
She was no longer wearing her school uniform.
Instead, she stood there in a soft black colored nightgown that hugged her body gently, outlining the natural curve of her waist and the fullness of her chest without being crude about it. The fabric fell loosely against her thighs, revealing smooth, pale legs. Over her eyes rested a bunny-shaped sleep mask, pushed up just enough that I could still see her gaze beneath it.
She held her right arm with her left hand, as if grounding herself.
And that moment she looked absolutely shy and vulnerable.
Dangerously beautiful.
She took a small step closer and asked, almost hesitantly, "So… how do I look?"
My mouth opened.
Nothing came out.
My eyes traced her without permission—her figure, her posture, the way she stood as though she were offering herself while still afraid of being rejected. Heat rushed through me, sharp and overwhelming.
It scared me how badly I wanted to close the distance between us.
Not gently.
Not patiently.
I forced myself to breathe.
Because somewhere beneath the desire—quiet but unmistakable—was the feeling that if I crossed that line… without her consent or will it'll all...
I took a slow breath and asked quietly,
"Where are Mr. and Mrs. Momo?"
"They're not home, after all they don't live here with me. They only came to see me due to the accident," Yui replied without hesitation. "You know what? This whole idea is actually… my mother's."
I looked at her in shock.
She didn't stop.
"When my mother met you, she liked you immediately," Yui continued. "When you saved me, that feeling doubled. And when she realised how deeply in love I was with you…" Her fingers tightened slightly against my shirt.
"She told me not to waste time."
My chest tightened.
"She said that after what happened to me, regrets would destroy me faster than fear ever could. That if I chose to give myself to someone—emotionally, physically, however—I should do it on my own terms." Yui's voice trembled. "She said she would support me no matter what."
She hesitated, then added, almost like a confession, "Something similar happened to her once. My father saved her. And she fell in love with him instantly. She said… once she decided, she never let go."
Yui finally looked up at me.
"When you saved me," she said softly, "I really was ready to end everything. But in that moment… you didn't look real. You looked like a hero. Like someone who existed just to pull me back."
Her grip on me tightened.
"I fell in love with you right then."
It sounded unreal. Too fast. Too heavy, way to fictional like the numerous anime i watched.
Yui laughed weakly. "It's like something straight out of the anime you like, right? But that's why… if I ever take that step, I want it to be with the person I love. Not someone who tried to hurt me."
Her forehead rested against my chest now. I could feel her trembling.
"Even if you don't love me back," she whispered, "please… don't reject me. I don't want my life to be defined by what almost happened. I want it to be defined by you."
Her arms slid around my neck.
I didn't move.
Everything she said felt real. Too real. There was no hesitation in her voice—no doubt.
This wasn't a joke.
Still… something about it made my instincts scream. A part of my real self was about to spill out, but first i had to confirm something.
I gently placed my hands on her shoulders and pushed her back just enough to look at her.
"Yui," I said carefully my eyes brimming with an emotion that Yui couldn't name, "are you sure? We haven't even known each other that long. Once we cross that line, we can't just pretend it didn't happen. I... won't let that happen."
I held her at arm's length—not to reject her, but to make sure she understood.
She didn't look away.
Her eyes were locked onto mine, dark and unwavering just like mine.
"I'm sure," she said.
And in that moment, I realised something chilling: She wasn't asking.
She had already decided.
And i can only comply with her.
I wasn't like those stupid ass protagonist who'd reject a beautiful women offering herself to me. No, no, no! Am not like them am different.
"I hope you won't regret this decision later," i said in a husky tone.
And before Yui could answer i suddenly kissed her furiously.
"Open wide!" I commanded.
And without thinking it through Yui complayed, she parted her lips, and without hesitation, I slid in my tongue into her mouth. Yui's previously shut eyes widened in surprise, but a second later she shut them once more.
After two whole minutes of kissing i separated from Yui observing her,
as i observed Yui's figure up close, my gaze fell on her valley hiding a good pair of breasts. I reached out my hand and cupped her right breast through the nightgown.
"Hn~" Yui moaned lightly but she didn't stop me. Showing her willingness to it.
I felt the elasticity and I could feel my member getting hard. And Yui obviously saw it so she smiled at me while she processed to touch my member through my school trouser.
"Let's do it in my room," she whispered into my left ear.
Hearing her words i hugged her and then suddenly carried her into a princess carry.
"Where's your room?!" i growled.
"Upstairs, the first door to the left side," she immediately answered without missing a beat. i immediately began running upstairs and following Yui's instruction i quickly found Yui's room.
I kicked open the door and without giving Yui's room a glance i instead looked for Yui's bed. I instantly found it, i walked up to it and promptly throw Yui on it.
Yui didn't even squick instead she just looked up at me with lust and obvious desire. I climbed onto the bed and began kissing her neck. As I peppered Yui's neck with kisses, I held her tightly, feeling the press of her breasts against my chest.
"Mnnn~??"
