Stealing Spree

Chapter 2286: Escorting the Yuuki sisters home (2)

The walk to Fuyu’s house was silent with only the sound of our footsteps echoing through the empty streets. The cool night breeze brushed against our cheeks, carrying the faint scent of

the coming summer.

Fuyu didn’t hold my hand anymore since I was supporting the sleeping Fubuki but she hooked her arm on mine, perfecting the picture of the family of three.

The people on the street gave us curious glances as we walked by, a young man carrying a sleeping child with another girl by his side. Fuyu’s grip on my arm tightened slightly every time someone looked our way, but I just gave them a warm smile while teasing my girl who was trying her best not to appear embarrassed.

Besides, she also liked the attention. Having declared her intention to make me fall in love with her more than I love Akane, this kind of moment was a plus for her even though she was still trying to hide our relationship from her family.

As we approached Fuyu’s house, the lights were still on, hinting that their parents were already home. She unlocked the gate with the keys she had hidden in her pocket before ushering me in.

When we reached their front door, it opened from inside, and there stood Fuyu’s mother, her eyes widening slightly at the sight of her daughter with me. She took in the scene, her gaze lingering on Fubuki sleeping on my back, and her expression softened followed by a teasing smile as she looked at her other daughter standing next to me.

“Thank you for escorting them home, Onoda-kun. Let me take it from here” Auntie said, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she took Fubuki off of my back.

Fuyu looked a bit embarrassed but she also had a proud look on her face, “M-mother, this is how we found him. He said he’d walk us home.”

This girl, why would she still lie to her when Fubuki could just reveal where they went during the day? I guess she just blurted that out without thinking, huh?

“Sure. Sure, I believed you, Fuyu. I’ll take your sister inside. Make sure to send Onoda-kun on his way properly, okay?” With an amused smile and a knowing look remaining in her eyes, Fuyu’s mother turned and disappeared into the house with Fubuki in her arms.

Left alone outside their front door, Fuyu and I shared a chuckle. Her mother had always had a sharp intuition, and I had a feeling she already knew what Fuyu was trying to keep hidden. Besides, it didn’t feel like she was concerned at all. Instead, her words felt like a gentle nod of approval, a silent acknowledgment of our growing bond.

“So, I guess I should go now.”

“Wait a minute. Mom said I should see you off.”

“Of course, let’s go.”

“Ruki-kun, you meanie.” Fuyu pouted.

“What? What did I do this time?” I playfully feigned innocence, earning me a light punch to the shoulder.

“You know what you did. Are you just going to leave?”

Fuyu’s eyes sparkled mischievously. Despite trying her best to hide her desire, she really couldn’t help it anymore. As she hinted at her unspoken request for a proper goodbye kiss, Fuyu stepped closer to me, her hands pulling on my shirt as she tiptoed for me to reach her lips easily.

I didn’t disappoint her. Without wasting a second, I leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss, tasting the sweetness of her breath. But a gentle kiss wasn’t enough. Little by little, that kiss deepened until Fuyu’s arms wrapped around my neck and my arms closed around her waist, pulling her closer. We kissed like it was the first time. It was as if we hadn’t seen each other for a week.

She had already forgotten that her mother or father could step out at any moment. This was her chance to claim her territory, and she wasn’t going to miss it.

Our kiss grew more intense with each passing second. I felt her body meld into mine as she tightened her grip around my neck. Her soft whimpers were music to my ears as my hands started caressing her back. My fingers dug into the softness of her body, feeling the warmth emanating from her skin.

As much as I also wanted to forget everything around us, this girl would be totally embarrassed if caught by her parents. That’s why after a while, I reluctantly pulled away, our lips parting as our tongues chased after each other. Fuyu’s eyes remained closed for a moment, savoring the lingering warmth of my kiss. The light from the living room cast a faint glow on us, making my girl’s image even more picturesque.

“R-Ruki-kun,” Fuyu stuttered, her voice filled with longing as she leaned into me. Her hands were still on my shoulders, and she didn’t seem to want to let go.

“Not enough?” I teased her, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. “We should save some for when we have more private moments, Fuyu. You should hold back or your mother will find another ammo to tease you with.”

Fuyu giggled with her cheeks turning into a lovely shade of pink, “You’re right.”

Her grip loosened around my neck, but she didn’t step back, instead, she leaned her forehead against mine. “But, I just can’t get enough of you, Ruki-kun.”

“I know. I feel that too. But there’s still tomorrow, right? I’ll have to trouble you with Akane again. You know how clingy she’s becoming whenever she’s on her monthly visit. Do you also have a similar quirk?” I playfully poked her side, watching the way her eyes squinted as she tried to suppress her laughter.

Fuyu slapped my arm, her cheeks still aflame. “I don’t know yet but we’ll find out in two weeks. That’s my usual cycle.”

“Should I look forward to that?”

“You… T-that’s embarrassing!”

“I’m just teasing.” I chuckled, kissing her forehead lightly. “Well then, goodnight Fuyu.” “Goodnight, Ruki-kun.” She whispered back, her voice filled with reluctance as she stepped back, her hands sliding off my shoulders.

I grabbed her hand as we walked to their gate. I held it tightly until I stepped out. “See you tomorrow, Fuyu.”

“See you tomorrow,” She echoed back, yet even after a minute passed, the two of us were still reluctant to let each other go.

Perhaps, we would stay standing there with our hands linked if not for her mother calling out to her from inside.

Fuyu ran to me for one last kiss before she retreated inside. Then, she watched me through the gaps of their gate as I walked away, her hand still raised in a silent wave.

Even after I reached the station, the taste of Fuyu’s lips and the softness of her body lingered in my senses. I had to pull up my phone and check my messages just to keep my focus on the

way home.
