Sweet Cohabitation Romcom With My Senior Girlfriend and Alcohol Starts At Twenty - Volume 1 Chapter 2.5

Gradually Losing Places To Escape

“So, the part that’s missing… Takashi-kun will make up for it…?”

“Me, you say?”

“Can you give me a kiss so sweet that I’d be satisfied even without peach liquor?”

Gulp.

The melted expression, the saliva dripping slowly, the softness felt through the leisure jacket—it’s impossible not to swallow my saliva at that.

Her pleading look with those upturned eyes was that stimulating.

Naturally, it gets me in the mood. I want to live up to Senpai’s expectations.

“Alright, I will.”

“Hyah—”

“I’ll make sure Senpai is satisfied.”

I pull her closer. I tighten my arm around her waist to bring our bodies even closer together.

Senpai’s body jolts, and a sweet voice escapes her lips.

Unable to resist, I caress her damp neck with my other hand.

“Ah… hhngh! Takashi-kun, don’t tease me…!”

“Should I stop?”

“Mm, uh…”

“I’ll continue, okay?”

Ah, she’s so cute. She wriggles her body, but she doesn’t refuse outright.

Even though she utters words of protest as if in lament, her eyes plead for more.

I’m at my limit with Senpai, who is so endearing yet her actions and true feelings are completely mismatched.

“Takashi-kun… I love you.”

“I love you too. I’m seriously in love with you, Senpai.”

“Ah… ”

From the neck to the throat, along the jaw, and to the lips. As the saliva dripped down, I gathered it with my fingers and brought them closer to my true desire.

“Takashi-kun, you’re so mean… I thought you’d be more aggressive…”

“Senpai, you’re always mean to me too. So, this is payback.”

“But you seem to enjoy it, Takashi-kun. That’s why I do it, you know?”

“And you, Kureha Senpai, seem very happy right now?”

“Of course, because… I’m happy with anything Takashi-kun does to me.”

“…”

“Ahaha, you’re blushing.”

“What can I do? It’s only natural to blush when Senpai says something like that!”

“That’s why I like you, Takashi-kun.”

Just a little more.

Just a little more and I could have seen that flustered expression. Even though I was teasing and poking at her lips, before I knew it, the tables had turned.

No matter how much I struggle, I’ll always be teased by Senpai. And I’ll continue to find joy in it.

I don’t want to change. In fact, I’m fine with the way things are. As long as Kureha Senpai stays by my side, that’s more than enough.

But now… just for now, I want to go a little further…

“Kureha Senpai, can you hold on just a little longer?”

“Hmm? Are you going to do something else?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I said I’d satisfy you.”

“――Eh?”

She must have been caught off guard. She thought she had me figured out and was satisfied. But as my face rapidly approached hers, a look of surprise appeared on Senpai’s face.

“I love you.”

“Mmm!? Mm, mmm…!”

I let out just a little bit of my desire.

It was just a kiss, but still a kiss. For me, who hadn’t been able to kiss a lover until turning twenty, it was a significant step forward.

But I should stop here. If I go any further, I won’t be able to control myself.

“Senpai…”

So, all I can do right now is stop at kissing.

“Hah… hah…! Mm…!”

“Senpai…?”

“If Takashi-kun is in the mood, then I too—Mmhm.”

“!?”

No matter how much Senpai desires it… it’s just kissing…

“My lips are all sticky~”

“Well, that’s what happens when you play the Pocky game all day…”

In the end, I kept kissing Senpai until the Pocky was gone, and before I knew it, we continued kissing even after we ran out of Pocky.

We greedily tasted each other’s sweetness-coated tongues, and when that wasn’t enough, we entwined our bodies and kissed…

The kissing finally stopped just before sunrise. We hadn’t spent the night packing up stuff; instead, we just cuddled on the sofa.

“Should we skip college classes tomorrow?”

“Are you okay with your attendance?”

“I always attend classes seriously. What about you, Takashi-kun?”

“I take them seriously too.”

“Then you should be fine with skipping just for a day.”

My mouth was still tinged with chocolate, peach liqueur, and the sweet saliva of my beloved.

Reluctant to wipe away the lingering aftertaste, I made the choice to skip class for the first time.

Strangely, I didn’t feel bad about it; on the contrary, I felt like I could say things I normally wouldn’t dare to.

Seeing a chance to change the me who only ever thought these things in my head, I gathered my courage and voiced the thought that came to mind.

“…Since we’re here, why don’t we sleep together in bed?”

“Is that an invitation for something naughty?”

“N-no… I didn’t mean it like that…”

“Just kidding, just kidding. Let’s lie down together.”

“You’re so bad for my heart, you know…”

Senpai and I, embracing each other on the sofa, let ourselves fall into the bed in the next room.

And then, we closed our eyes as if sinking into the depths.

Slowly, very slowly, I confirmed the presence of my beloved Kureha Senpai before me.

***

On the second day of living together, I learned to skip class.

While everyone else was diligently attending their lessons, I was lying in the same bed with the lover I had kissed all night.

The lingering sweetness in my mouth stirred a faint restlessness in my heart. The fact that I didn’t mind it was probably because I was too happy in the moment.

I wanted to believe that this happiness would become my “everyday” life.
