“…I want to do it a lot.”

The night we were finally alone together again.

After we got into the room, we had been talking normally for a while, but the moment the conversation suddenly died out, Ikki-kun moved a little closer.

"We couldn't even see each other just the two of us for three whole weeks, you know."

Still sitting on the sofa, he held both hands out toward me... the gesture asking me to come over was cute.

His voice sounded a little needy, completely different from the bright junior coworker face he wore at work.

"I want to hug you, and I want to kiss you too... I want to do it a lot."

After those brutally direct words, he lowered his brows bashfully.

Well... I want to, too. As I thought that and slowly moved closer, he hugged me as if he'd been waiting for it.

"...You said you liked citrus body soap, so I changed it, but did you notice?"

While holding me, he lightly brushed his nose against my neck, and the ticklish feeling, along with a little nervousness, made my shoulders jerk.
