Stealing Spree

Chapter 1150: Special

Thirty minutes later, Yukari turned into a bundle of red as she clung to me and pinched my sides outside of her parents’ eyes. She could only resort to that when she couldn’t stop her mother from telling me stories about her. Embarrassing stories.

There’s that one time when they brought her to the beach during her 9th birthday. She apparently stepped on a starfish that wriggled under her foot. She got scared of how squishy and ticklish it was. Since then, she began carefully staring down at the ground just to make sure that she wouldn’t step on one again. And it became a habit that she brought back at home or everywhere else.

I guess that explained why she would sometimes remain fixated on the ground when we were walking together. I thought she was just too embarrassed. Turns out there’s a story about it.

Well, I never asked her about that and I just assumed that reason.

There’s also one Christmas story where Yukari woke up in the middle of the night and caught her father sneaking around in a Santa suit. She called him fake Santa for being too thin and hit him with a broom to drive him away.

When she realized that it was her father, she cried the whole night, feeling really bad for what she did. Her father had to present her with a whole bag of candies and chocolates to calm her down. She got a toothache the morning after that, preventing her from eating her favorite cake.

Yep. It’s her father who narrated that story to me. He was laughing all the time making the girl almost grab the broom again and hit her father to reenact the scene.

I joined in teasing her and because of that, I got the one that was hit by the broom. I acted hurt which made the girl panic, coddling me right away.

What a sweet girl.

Since her parents witnessed that, the two also teased her for it, making the girl blush in embarrassment further.

In the end, the celebration turned into a teasing session for Yukari. Perhaps if I wasn’t at her side and she got teased like this by her parents, she’d be fuming already.

But there’s no point teasing her without me, right?

Anyway, once we finished eating, Yukari asked for permission to bring me to her room.

They did allow us but… Yukari miscalculated. It became the same case when I visited Elizabeth’s house.

But this time, it was her mother who would check on us every few minutes.

She’s their youngest so… they’re kind of worried that we’d make a mistake and it would mean her leaving home as well. That’s why they wanted a few more years with Yukari living with them.

Well, that sounded like they’re already considering that I would be Yukari’s husband in the future. It’s great to hear.

So, I acted like a good boy, assuring them that I won’t let them worry about that… If they found out that we’re already doing it whenever we’re meeting each other, they might get a heart attack so better not tell them about the progress of our relationship.

Sometimes, it’s really better to lie than stick to being honest. Especially with my girls’ parents.

I’d surely take a beating or two from them in the future anyway. When we finally revealed our plan to them.

“Too bad, huh? We should’ve passed by a hotel first.”

“You pervert. I heard you did it with Risa even when her father’s there.”

“That girl… She told you that?”

“Un. She’s even proud of it.”

Right. That’s Elizabeth we’re talking about. I even predicted that she’d talk about that to everyone. It’s already a relief that she only talked about it to Yukari.

“Classic Elizabeth…”

“If it’s her, anything is possible. That’s how amazing she is.” Yukari said in a rather envious voice.

Is she comparing herself to Elizabeth? They’re best friends and they’re almost always together. Yeah, it’s difficult to not compare herself with Elizabeth when their personality was in stark contrast to each other.

That’s why… It’s on me to ease that kind of thinking. 𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐞𝘁

My body moved without my command, pulling the girl in my embrace. I caressed her head and back before pushing my lips close to her ear.

After giving her earlobe a quick bite, which made her jump in surprise, I tenderly whispered, “You’re just as amazing, Yukari… You surprised me with this, you know? I thought they’d be another challenge I had to face but before I knew it, I was already being treated as their son-in-law. I have to earn my keep for that…”

“Yeah, you should. They’ve been good to you, right? Telling you all my embarrassing stories.” The girl said in a sarcastic tone. Nonetheless, her arms naturally enclosed around me, returning the hug.

Little by little, we moved to her bed. When she was about to fall over, I switched our positions, letting me be the one to fall first and she ended up on top of me.

Yukari laughed heartily as she slowly crawled up, placing herself comfortably there. As for me, I supported her wait as I also gradually moved, lifting my foot and sliding us to the middle of her bed, occupying it completely.

“Well, I loved all of it. Hearing the side of my Yukari that I haven’t seen before.”

“Then to be fair, I also want to hear stories of you. Before your desire manifested.”

“Uh. Are you sure? I can’t think of one without Akane in it.”

I was really inseparable from Akane before so… I couldn’t recall any childhood memories where she was not there.

“It’s fine. As long as I can tease you with it.” Yukari’s mischievous smile showed again as she poked my nose for the nth time this day. And with another giggle, her teeth chomped on it.

Really, this girl was too fixated on my nose… unlike the other girls who’d either go to my neck or lips. Well, it’s fine. Not like she could bite it off.

“That’s the goal huh? To tease me.”

“Obviously, I can’t be the only one getting embarrassed here.”

“Yeah. You’re right. I have to be fair. In any case, I love this. My Yukari is now so proactive.”

“Only in this case!”

“Even so… That’s progress.”

“You’re right. But, you see, I’m afraid I can’t do what Risa did.”

“That’s fine. I also feel like we can’t do that here yet. But even if we can’t… It’s fine to cuddle, right? It’s your special day. I still wanted this to be special for you.”

“Idiot Ruki. It’s already too special for me. You came to see me this morning and we did it there. You also went to pick me up with your funny disguise and flowers and took me out on a date. I couldn’t ask for more.” Yukari lovingly said. But then, she realized something, “Wait, we’re going off-topic! Ruki, out with your embarrassing stories. That’s what can make this day even more special.”

“Why do you have to remember it? I thought I already escaped being laughed at by my girl. It would be uncool for me, you know?”

“I don’t care. It’s so I can also have something to brag about to Risa.”

“This girl… I thought you don’t want to compete with her?”

“Hmm? It’s not a competition, Ruki. Call it our bonding time. Talking about our man and laughing about it. It will be better if you’re there with us.”

“Uhm… Even if I am proud to be called a shameless guy, I’m already feeling embarrassed thinking about you two talking about my embarrassing stories.”

“Fufu, that’s what I’m aiming for.”

In the end, my girl used my own words against me… In any case, I willingly surrendered to it, satisfying the girl on this special day of hers.

I’m also satisfied anyway. Everything about this day with her made me love her even more.
