Stealing Spree-Novel

Yukari had always been someone who couldn’t say no to others. Even if she’s uncomfortable about it she’d say yes just to satisfy the other person.

Perhaps if she’s not with Elizabeth back then, this girl would be far more lost before I could get to her.

Well, I wouldn’t say I saved her, I also took advantage of her timidity and her inability to say no, after all. Nonetheless, I reminded her again and again that she needed to change that mindset even just a little. Her ex or that childhood friend who tricked her wasn’t doing that. He’s satisfied enough that his girl wouldn’t say no to him.

Anyway, she did show that she changed her mindset now. She had been vocal ever since that day I took her back. It might just be towards me but slowly, she’s returning back to that same girl. Hearing her thoughts became less and less… even today.

Still on my lap, Yukari was seemingly stuck, not knowing what to do. I gave her free reign on what to do but apart from staring at me with confusion, she didn’t know what to do next.

After a while, Sena and Aika approached us. Although I didn’t know what entered their mind, judging from their expressions … I probably made a mistake at some point.

Or urging Yukari to do what she wanted to was wrong in the first place. She’s waiting for her turn and when it arrived… I somehow threw her out of the loop, not telling her what’s in my mind at all or my reason for asking her to do what she wanted. Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

And that seemed to be the case when the two drew closer to us. Aika embraced Yukari and seemed to coddle her. Sena, on the other hand, stared at me and sighed. “Ruki… What are you doing? Will you keep her waiting again?”

The tone she used was like she’s interrogating me. When I looked at Aika, who was patting Yukari’s head while staring at me, her eyes also seemed to be asking me the same thing.

… I really messed it up again.

I gave in to my trait of being too much of a worrywart and I decided to do this without even consulting her at first. Hence, the confusion on her part.

Why do I keep making these mistakes? Haa… I claimed to be able to understand them but in the end, I sometimes go too far. Just like that one with the planner and this time with simply deciding to correct her reverting mindset.

Perhaps calling it ‘reverting’ was also wrong… Yukari was just like all of my girls, they wanted to be close to me, to be intimate and… to not worry about anything else.

While I was lost in my thoughts not knowing what to respond, two girls also spoke. Akane and Miyako.

“Husband, why don’t you tell Yukari what’s on your mind? That way, you can understand each other.”

As someone who’s with me everyday and someone who never stopped following me ever since our childhood, Akane could clearly understand my intention. However, that’s not the case for the other girls… Some could take the hint but Yukari, since it concerned her, she was probably lost on how to interpret my words.

“There you go again… Always pushing your own mind onto others. I thought you’ve changed? Why do I see that same Ruki who would give unreasonable orders?”

And Miyako, as someone who suffered the most among them, knew what she’s talking about. Well, although she decided to forget our past, it’s not something one could write out…

As I took in her words, it further solidified the fact that… I did Yukari wrong this time…

My eyes alternated between them, observing their current expressions. The three girls, Yua, Miho and even Elizabeth, who should still be sleeping soundly, were also looking at us, concerned about what’s happening.

Seeing that there’s not really someone who would take my side since it’s clearly my fault, I raised my arms to my side. I surrendered.

“… You girls… Thanks for opening this dumb idiot’s eyes.” I wryly smiled but that earned me a pinch on my nose by Sena. Even if I made a blunder this girl wouldn’t just throw her fist at me…

“Stop self-deprecating and do something already. It’s fine for me to not get my turn now but make it right for Yukari.” Sena said after releasing my nose.

And right after her, Aika lightly kicked my shin. “That’s right, Ruki… Look at her, she’s waiting for you to say something to her and clear her head up. We all love you and you promised to treat us right. Are you going back on your words?”

“Of course not,” I answered. I then focused my eyes on Yukari, she’s still waiting on me.

I lifted my body off the backrest and circled my arm around her, taking her off Aika’s embrace.

Sena and Aika retreated and returned to where they were sitting earlier, leaving us alone. Well, not alone. But at this point, we’re back to our initial position.

I tightened my embrace on her. Although I didn’t mean to, my head that was at the same level as her bountiful chest firmly pressed on its heavenly softness. Her intoxicating delightful fragrance filled my nose in no time at all.

Nonetheless, our eyes remained stuck staring at each other. “I’m sorry, I didn’t make myself clear Yukari… I just… Ah. No. I admit, I selfishly decided to correct your mindset once more. Telling you to do what you wanted to stemmed from that. I’m afraid you’re going back to the same Yukari of days old.”

Like Akane said. I should’ve just told this to her straight. But… I just had to be that dumb, huh?

After hearing my confession, Yukari’s confused look disappeared as it was replaced by a mellow yet comforting expression. Her lips thinly spread into a small, charming smile.

Her hands that were resting on my shoulder encircled to the back of my head, embracing me closer or rather, pushing my head deeper in her valley. “I understand now. I made you concerned over me again… Ruki, why don’t you set aside a day for me? That way, I can show you that I’m not the same Yukari anymore…”

She proposed. And at the same time as that, I felt her heart racing and her temperature rising.

This girl was extremely nervous when she delivered those words.

I mean… it’s basically she’s asking me for a date or rather, a day where she wanted me alone for herself.

“Uhm… Maybe not as soon as possible as I wanted it to be a whole day with you. 24 hours and not a second less. During our summer vacation, set one day for me, will you?” She added.

But once that proposal sank in the minds of the other girls in the room, they all jumped in, saying they also want a day during our summer vacation that’s still around two months away…

“Husband, we might not agree with you getting a planner but summer vacation is… definitely something we wanted to spend with you.” Akane also chimed in. Even though she could be said to be living with me, staying with each other for an entire day was also something she probably wanted to experience.

“… You girls. I thought you wanted me to clear things up with Yukari? Why are you all jumping in?”

Or so I said. However, seeing their excitement and how they began talking about what they wanted to do at that time, I simply surrendered once more and let out a dry laugh.

A moment later, Yukari lowered her head to plant her forehead with mine before seductively whispering. “Focus on me now, Ruki. Kiss me and… make love with me.”

As she boldly said that, it successfully hit me that my worry was truly unfounded… She’s not reverting back to how she was before. The Yukari in front of me was the one who finally took up my advice. But even if she did, the girl’s affection for me was as high as before or if not that, even higher.

In the end, we’ve gone into a full circle. We’re now back to what we initially aimed to do. To make love with each other.

While the others were still clamoring with their plans for the summer vacation that’s still too far away, Yukari and I had started to drift off to our own world.
