Usagi's POV:
I awoke to find Okami-kun sleeping peacefully beside me. Usually so sharp and intense, his face now appeared utterly calm, carefree, and almost innocent in sleep. It was a rare sight completely opposite to that wolfish glare he threw at me one moment ago, ready to chase me down again.
I gently smiled while reaching out to trace his cheek with my fingers. His skin was warm against my fingers, making my heart say he looks so peaceful there. Would anyone believe that he had been teasing me all this time? Hehe...
I couldn't resist it. I wanted to kiss him! I leaned in and placed an innocent kiss on his cheek. Ahhh, he is so cute! Seeing his face so relaxed made my heart do a little flutter.
But one kiss wasn't going to be enough. My eyes were drawn to that mouth, soft and tempting. One more... And before I could fully comprehend what I was doing, I slid across the distance between us and grazed my lips with his in a gentle kiss.
After what seemed like forever, I pulled away, blushing with embarrassment. Ahh---what did I just do?! "Hehe..." I chuckled nervously in an attempt to brush it aside.
But then--
"Bunny, don't play with a sleeping wolf."
His deep voice sent shivers down my spine, and I turned beet red with embarrassment. "H-Huh??" I stammered. "You... you have been awake?!"
He smiled, folding his arms, as he kept me pinned under his gaze. "You think I would let that slip," he said in low teasing tones, "and sleep through it?"
Then he seized the back of my head in a powerful, wet kiss that felt deep and almost savage from the moment his lips touched mine, sending my heart into a frenzy. Well, I didn't have much time to react, and he was literally claiming my lips.
A seemingly endless few seconds passed before I got the chance to break away, with a smirk on his lips as he propped himself on his elbow. "I'm gonna take a bath," he said through a giant yawn, stretching his arms toward the bathroom. I remained there, dumbfounded, every nerve ending in my lips alive.
What a hot start to the day... I shook my flustered thoughts and got out of bed quickly. "I really need to fix breakfast and our bento before he comes out!"
A few minutes later, he came out from the bathroom, walking with steam.
Huh? H-Huhhh?!
My face reddened completely at the sight of Okami-kun standing there in a towel, dripping wet, hair plastered on his forehead, and water drops trickling slowly down his sculpted chest.
Ah...I just couldn't help myself from staring.
He was looking at me!
Ah-h got me...
A smirk of acknowledgment appeared on those lips before he walked into the bedroom without saying anything.
Ehh?! What will he be thinking about me now? First, I kissed him while sleeping, and now I was ogling his half-naked body...
W-What Is Wrong With Me?!
Spoken words somewhere against teenage girls came into existence, and he slapped our breakfast to the sight of me walking out of the bedroom.
Ahh, he looks so good in black! Just like a wolf-eh?
Okami-kun, breakfast is ready," I said, smiling and shaking away my thoughts.
He dug in casually. "Do you have lectures after 2?" he asked between bites.
"Ah yes! I have extra lectures today," I replied.
"Oh, okay," he said simply and kept munching.
While sitting there chatting, his phone rang. Oh, it's his mother! He picked up the video call.
She was smiling, cheerfully asking, "So how was shifting? All settled?" Okami-kun was relaxed and chatted with her until he swung the camera toward me.
"So, Usagi-chan, how was your first night?" he asked with a teasing smirk.
"W-Wait?!" My face burned red.
His mother chuckled. "Ahh, to be young!" she sighed, with deep drama.
I waved my hands frantically. "W-We did nothing, Ma'am!" I hissed, my flustered expression giving the lie away.
Okami-kun smirked even more, obviously relishing my embarrassment.
I gave him a sulky glare after he signed off, irritated.
"Why the heck would you even say that to her?!" I said, still very embarrassed.
He chuckled, leaning back in his chair, that teasing smile still plastered on his stupid face. "Eh, what did I say? I just asked how your first night at the new place was. My mom was worried about you, so I thought I'd ask in front of her."
Ugh! He knew what he was doing!
I got one look at his face after breakfast and was filled with excitement and premonition. This was our first time going to school together from the same residence.
While we were standing by the door, ready to leave, he suddenly stopped. He raked his gaze from head to toe, sending my heart racing. Before I could say anything, he suddenly pulled me by the waist and closed the distance between us.
Just like that, he kissed me.
His lips landed on mine, and the surprise of the moment scared me so much that my eyes opened wide in shock, but then I succumbed to the kiss. Slow and teasing; just like him.
After a few seconds, he pulled back slightly, resting his forehead against mine. "You look cute," he murmured, his voice low and airy.
My cheeks reddened as I muttered, "Y-You can't just do that out of nowhere!"
He laughed as he opened the door. "Get used to it, Bunny. Let's go."
Still flustered, I followed him out, and my heart skipped another beat—this was where the first day of going to college together officially started.
