Stealing Spree

Chapter 2060: Imposed Selfishness?

With her warm breath brushing against my skin, I couldnʼt help but gulp down to calm my emotions. However, I still found it irresistible not to respond with that peck.

Before long, our lips met once again and Fuyu accepted my kiss as though she expected it from me.

Following that, Fuyu nibbled on her lips, savoring the traces I left behind there. That gesture was too alluring. Luckily I still managed to hold onto my last bit of rationality.

Once again, our gazes locked onto each other. Before long, looking like she finally found her answer after a long, drawn-out deliberation, Fuyu pulled my head down, letting our foreheads touch.

”Hey, I donʼt think I can hate you, Onoda-kun. Youʼve made a lot of mistakes before. That wonʼt change. But in this present, you are still so admirable. I thought I overestimated you because of my feelings for you. Little did I know that I still underestimated how much better you are than most guys. Thereʼs no one else like you...”

These praises... Juri would have to come up with something unique if she heard this girl.

Uh. Why do I keep bringing up my other girls? Focus Ruki!

Fuyu wasnʼt finished yet. She exhaled a sigh and continued,

”I wish I could accept everything easily... But can I be selfish, Onoda-kun?”

”Mhm. Yes, you can. Thatʼs fair.”

”Fair?” Not understanding what I meant by it, Fuyu tilted her head.

I caressed her cheek more before nodding my head.,

”Yes. You may not know this but Iʼm also plenty selfish myself.”

My girls keep calling me selfless but this is the truth. Iʼm the most selfish person among us.

”I did say I was going to tell you everything about me. And regardless of your choice, I will accept it. I wonʼt ever force you into anything. At least, youʼre already aware of how messed up I am. Itʼs already my fortune not to be hated by you.”

”... Right. And I honestly like you. Uhm. Maybe I already love you?”

Is ʼmaybeʼ still relevant there? In my eyes, it doesnʼt matter anymore. Everything she showed me was her genuine feelings for me.

”Mhm... Thatʼs how it is. I can feel it and I feel the same way to you. It may sound insincere after my revelation but I mean it.”

”Bad guy. I know you mean it... And I understand your difficulty. Itʼs just... too abnormal.”

”Youʼre right. Normally no one can tolerate this behavior. But as you can see, we may all be abnormal.”

”Are you low-key saying Iʼm too normal?”

”Well, thatʼs better than being called abnormal, no? Besides, Yuuki-san is perfect the way you are. You donʼt have to change for me.” I shrugged.

However, Fuyu suddenly pouted and glared at me. Her cheeks eventually puffed up, accentuating her natural beauty.

”I donʼt know. I suddenly feel annoyed hearing that, Onoda-kun. Do you expect me to just give up? After facing my feelings and getting a deeper understanding of you?”

”Itʼs all up to you Yuuki-san. Liking or loving me is different than accepting our setup, right? If it doesnʼt sit well with you, you donʼt have to conform with it.”

”Thatʼs it! Youʼre right. I donʼt have to... I said I want to be selfish... Treat me well like Iʼm your only girlfriend.”

This... How do I do that? Sheʼs always with Akane. I canʼt just ignore that girl.

”Donʼt look at me like that... Iʼm not saying you should forget about them. Just that... Donʼt think about them when weʼre together... Akane is an exception! And maybe Fujimura-senpai.” Is she hearing herself now? How is that selfishness any different from whatʼs bound to happen? Itʼs not like she can meet with the others frequently.

No... I guess sheʼs really this normal girl who thinks sheʼs being clever with this.

Before I knew it, I was already chuckling.

Fuyu slanted her eyebrows and unhappily glared at me, ”Whatʼs funny?”

”Nothing. Itʼs just youʼre too adorable I canʼt help it.”

”Huh? What does that mean?”

”I mean it as is. I understand. I accept your selfishness.”

Upon saying that, I tightened my arm around her waist and pulled her up before I let my back fall to the softness of the bed, bringing her with me.

Fuyu didnʼt have a chance to digest what I said but as soon as she fell on my chest, the girl made herself comfortable.

She let go of my hand to embrace me by hooking her arms from underneath my shoulders.

Likewise, I locked my hands behind her, securing her on top of me.

Shortly after that, I heard her gentle whisper, ”Iʼm not in a dream, right?”

”I should ask you the same question, Yuuki-san.”

”Call me by my name.” She pouted.

”Fuyu.” I immediately corrected myself.

And with that, Fuyu beamed again as she also changed the way she called me.

”Un. Ruki-kun...”

With that as our last exchange, the following minutes were spent with nothing but our occasional giggles.

Fuyu coming around like this isnʼt really what Iʼm expecting. However, she clearly still has some apprehensions about my past. She called it heavy which wasnʼt wrong. Whoever was it that heard my past, theyʼd definitely feel the same way.

I know Yayoi-san also feels the same. And for sure, Ryouko-san as well. However, just like Fuyu, they chose to accept me.

What kind of luck is this?

No... Letʼs not bother questioning that.

What I have to do is to live up to their expectations. Make them happy like I promised them.

”Fuyu... will you stay here? Or if you donʼt mind, share the bed with us.”

”Immediately? Ruki-kun... Youʼre bold.”

Or so she said, but I could see from her eyes how willing she was. On top of that, sheʼs quite innocent or she trusts me enough that thereʼs no other concern in her eyes that something will

happen.

I guess Akane and I have to be careful with our... intimate moments.

Ten minutes later, I guided her to our bedroom.

When Akane saw us entering together, the girl didnʼt waste a second and immediately jumped out of the bed to pull Fuyu with her.

”Does this mean you accepted husband?” She acted like she was curious about the answer. But just the fact that I brought Fuyu here with our hands locked together should have already

clued her in.

My silly girl just wanted to tease her best friend.

”I... imposed my selfishness on him, Akane. Is that fine?”

”Donʼt worry. Husband wonʼt lie to you. If he accepts it then... You bet heʼll follow through

with it.”

I donʼt know if she really understands what Fuyu meant by that. But Akane sent me a wink.

No doubt. Sheʼs just as excited as Fuyu.

What a silly pair of friends. And I donʼt regret falling for both of them.
