Stealing Spree

Chapter 2105: Surprise

Thanks to Ogawa destroying the wonderful mood that bubbled up between us, my time with Kazuha-nee ended there.

I had no idea if he was listening in on us but I’d give him the benefit of the doubt that it was merely a coincidence. Because if that’s not the case, he would’ve acted more frantically after figuring out that I was inside his Aneki’s room and we were alone together. He wouldn’t knock gently and politely inform her of their parents’ message outside the door.

Besides, Kazuha-nee’s room has great sound-proofing. The only reason I heard her knocking on his door earlier was because she left the door ajar.

Maybe she did it intentionally to make me relax and not worry about Ogawa disturbing us.

When she returned, all sounds became isolated. Even the chirping of the birds or the whistling of the night breeze outside.

Unfortunately, she failed to anticipate that their parents would message her. Due to being too focused on each other, even the notification tone failed to register in both of our ears.

Anyway, with the information that their parents are about to arrive home, staying would just put us both in a bind.

That’s why as soon as Ogawa returned to his room, Kazuha-nee and I silently agreed to end our meeting there.

Like earlier, she sneakily escorted me out. She even ensured that Ogawa wouldn’t even think about peeking out to see her aneki’s guest.

And when I reached their front door and put my shoes back on, Kazuha-nee grabbed my hand and whispered, “Come back tomorrow. I’ll forgive you for last time if you do.”

She didn’t wait for my answer though. She pushed me out of their house, most likely to hide her flustered expression from me.

I only managed to catch a glimpse of her exposed ear before the door shut to my face.

Well, I guess that’s a plan for tomorrow. It’s also good for me. I can escort my girls again. Too bad though, I should’ve asked for Kazuha-nee’s number. I missed the opportunity to tease her and maybe see her before our next meeting.

It was close to eight in the evening when I reached our station.

While I was stuck sitting inside the train, I already checked on my girls and learned from Akane that among the three girls who will sleepover at our house, Fuyu was the only one who had yet to arrive.

The other two were already sitting comfortably in our living room, playing with the console.

Ah. Right. Because they still had to get a change of clothes or their sleepwear at their houses, Akane didn’t go home with them.

And with Fuyu having already stayed with us last night, she was in dire need of fresh clothing. She might not feel embarrassed to wear my shirt again but with Eri and Futaba there, she wanted to act appropriately.

And although Akane wouldn’t mind letting her borrow her clothes, their chest sizes were too different…

Imagine that girl in a shirt that barely holds her supple chest. I might fail to hold myself back even in front of the other two.

Did I already mention that Fubuki misses her? Not yet? Alright. I got too distracted by imagining Fuyu in Akane’s sexy negligee.

Anyway, before stepping out of the station, I checked my phone again and saw Fuyu’s recent message.

“Ruki-kun… Are you home yet? If not, I can wait for you at the station.”

Look at that. Who won’t fall for that thoughtful girl?

Should I lie to her and surprise her when she shows up? Well, let’s just be honest and surprise her in some other way.

“I just arrived at the station. I’ll wait for you instead.”

Upon sending that, I walked out of the station and went into a crepe store that was about to close up shop.

I hurriedly ordered five of them, one of which was triple chocolate flavor. Fuyu would’ve liked that, right?

The crepe seller quickly wrapped up my order with an annoyed expression before shutting down the store on my face.

Rude. But well, it didn’t matter.

I pulled out the triple chocolate one from the pack and returned to the station.

I even bypassed the ticket gate to climb up the platform.

This way I could surprise her right there.

My wait didn’t take too long as the train was already bound to arrive.

With the lights inside the train turned on, I already saw the girl standing close to the door, a hint of impatience and excitement on her face.

Sure enough, with her eyes keenly observing the outside, the girl immediately found me, her face brightening up like the moon in the night sky.

I went forward to receive her, grabbing her bag and then handing her the crepe.

“… You. You didn’t have to surprise me like this.” Fuyu took it, her cheeks flushed red.

She immediately took a bite and her expression became more radiant.

She does love her chocolates.

“And yet, I did. I can’t help it. I found a chance and I took it.”

I grabbed one of her hands and guided her to the stairwell.

Fuyu obediently followed as she happily munched on the crepe.

“Pfft. Unbelievable. What if someone recognizes you here? For example, someone from your neighborhood who knows about you and Akane?”

“I don’t care. You’re as important as Akane to me. They can babble but you’ve seen our neighborhood, there’s little to no socializing between neighbors there.”

She couldn’t help but nod at that. She also saw it earlier this morning, we were just next to the park at that tennis court but no one from the neighborhood showed up apart from a few

passersby.

“Once again, I’m getting into your pace, Ruki. Will I be able to hide this from Eri and Futaba?”

“It depends. But knowing you, you can do it. If it doesn’t work, we can just tell them about us and watch how shocked they will be.”

“Bad. It’s still too early to do so. They might get weirded out.”

“You think so?”

“Un… Anyone will think so. You shouldn’t get used to other people simply accepting your

situation.”

“Right. Thanks for the reminder.”

Fuyu giggled and then pushed the crepe close to my mouth.

I took a bite right next to where she bit a piece and then linked our fingers tightly.

Fuyu found herself torn between being happy at watching me share her food and embarrassed by the tingling sensation brought about by our interlocking fingers.

“Ruki-kun, you’re bad for my heart.” The girl sweetly whispered as we continued our way out of the train station.
