Chapter 130

Staring blankly out the window from the hot, steaming bath, Miyuki snapped back to reality at the sudden downpour.

'It's raining...'

One corner of Miyuki's mouth curled up.

Every time she slept with Matsuda, it rained.

Would it rain instead of snow in the winter, too? How fascinating.

By now, the rain even felt like a given.

Filled with a sudden swell of emotion, Miyuki thought back to Matsuda finishing inside her for the first time today.

Surprisingly... it was nice.

She had felt his cock swell right before he climaxed, and she liked knowing just how aroused he had been.

When he came, the sensation of something hot and wriggling swimming deep inside her wasn't bad, either.

Cleaning up afterward was incredibly taxing and annoying, but it felt like they had connected on a much deeper level than usual, making it worth the trouble.

'Should I... take the pill...?'

She wasn't in her fertile window, so she felt somewhat relieved, but she still figured she should take a morning-after pill just to be safe.

But when was she supposed to take it again?

She vaguely remembered her old sex ed class saying it should be taken within two or three days of having sex.

Weren't there side effects, too? Like irregular bleeding or headaches...

Her memory was fuzzy, but she suddenly lost all desire to take it.

Come to think of it, they should have used a condom. Why hadn't she thought of that?

They had gone without one from their very first time, so it felt like they had naturally bypassed it altogether... She realized just how painfully shallow her sexual knowledge was.

She would have to read up on it online.

Miyuki grabbed a towel from the rack within arm's reach.

She dried her hands, opened the browser on her Cell Phone, and started searching, only for a kotatsu ad to pop up right on her screen.

The weather was getting seriously cold now; shouldn't she buy a kotatsu?

Space heaters were warm, but they weren't as cozy as a kotatsu...

She also liked the idea of studying with Matsuda, both of them tucking their legs under the blanket...

'Alright...'

Picturing that cozy immediate future, Miyuki tossed aside all her worries about birth control and pregnancy to look up kotatsu accessories instead.

A fairly high-quality kotatsu, floor chairs with backrests, cute little accessories to place on the tabletop...

As she excitedly dumped all sorts of items into her shopping cart, Chinami suddenly came to mind.

She probably had an eye for cute things; Miyuki would have to ask her about it next time.

Of course, she would probably only recommend Momo-sama merchandise, but Miyuki liked Momo-sama too, so it didn't really matter.

Fiddling with her Cell Phone as her imagination ran wild, Miyuki—

Bzzzt—!

[Miyuki, are you still sleeping?]

She flinched as Tetsuya's message popped up as a notification at the top of her screen.

"Ah, right..."

She had told him she would call later. She'd completely forgotten.

She immediately called Tetsuya, and he answered before the first ring even finished.

"You're awake?"

"Yeah. Why did you call earlier?"

"I told you. It's the weekend, so I was wondering what you were up to..."

Ah, did he say that?

She must not have heard him properly, too distracted by Matsuda's mischievous teasing.

"I was just resting."

"Right... Are you feeling sick?"

"Not really...? Why do you ask?"

"You didn't sound too good earlier... If you're feeling up to it, do you want to go for a walk today?"

Her legs were trembling so much right now that she would probably collapse if she went for a walk.

Besides, she didn't want to go back to her own house right now. All she wanted was to sleep in Matsuda's arms, so she had absolutely zero intention of going out.

"I'll pass."

"T-That was firm... Too bad. Next time, then."

"Yeah. Next time. Tetsuya-kun, I need to shower, so I'm going to hang up now."

"Should we talk again after your shower, then?"

"No. I want to rest today."

"Ah, right... Sorry. There's just one last thing I want to ask. Last time at the playground... No, never mind. It's nothing."

Tetsuya cut himself off and glossed over it.

Miyuki tilted her head at his anticlimactic behavior.

Normally, she would have pressed him to find out what he was trying to say, but she wasn't particularly curious right now, so she decided to just let it go.

"Got it. You get some good rest too, Tetsuya-kun. Bye."

"Yeah. Take care."

Hanging up, Miyuki thoroughly finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom.

Dressed in a padded camisole and fluffy pajamas, she stepped out, only to run right into Matsuda as he walked out of the other bathroom.

A firm, muscular upper body, and beneath it, something long and large swaying at his crotch.

Seeing it, Miyuki hurriedly averted her eyes and whined.

"Matsuda-kun! Put some clothes on...!"

"I was about to."

"..."

She had already seen plenty of Matsuda's body, so why did it always feel so embarrassing to see it outside of sex?

Today was especially bad. Perhaps it was because it was a special day.

"Miyuki, come here."

Having gotten dressed in the blink of an eye, Matsuda sat by the wide-open window, his legs dangling over the engawa.

Thinking him completely carefree, Miyuki walked over and sat next to him. He pulled over a thick blanket to drape over them both, then guided her legs to dangle outside.

Pitter-patter.

A gust of wind blew the rain over the engawa and onto the tops of her feet, while a chilling breeze swept coldly over her legs.

"It's cold...!"

Miyuki grumbled, tightly curling her toes.

Matsuda flashed her a refreshing smile. "It's not all bad, is it? It's kind of nice in its own way."

"...A little...?"

Sure, her lower half was cold, but her upper half was warm... This contrast was surprisingly nice.

The steady rain pouring from the dark night sky and the earthy scent wafting through the air created a sentimental atmosphere she quite liked, too.

"You cold?"

As Matsuda wrapped an arm around her shoulders, Miyuki slowly shook her head at his question.

"No..."

"Want to stay like this for a bit?"

"Yeah."

Tap.

Replying meekly, Miyuki leaned her head against Matsuda's broad shoulder.

A sudden wave of exhaustion washed over her. Today hadn't exactly been packed with events, but given the magnitude of what did happen, she was physically and mentally drained.

If she fell asleep now, Matsuda would probably carry her to bed himself.

"Yaaawn..."

Deciding to take it easy, Miyuki let out a cute yawn and closed her eyes.
