After that, he didn't receive any more messages and quickly finished his bath.
Yuhi returned to the room and lay down on the bed. He must have fallen asleep because when he wakes up, he hears the sound of his phone.
It was an incoming call from Sumire. Yuhi immediately bolted up and answered the video call message.
Sumire was no longer in the school. The scene behind her was a bathroom. His mouth practically dropped open, seeing what she was wearing. A pair of red lacy undergarments beneath a scandalous-looking nightgown.
Yuhi felt his heartbeat increase. "So, are you telling me that you made that?"
Sumire laughed. "Mm, it's the first time I made something like this, so it took a while."
It was then he saw the blisters on her fingers. His gaze softened. "You didn't have to-"
"I thought you'd like it. Am I wrong?"
"No, no." Yuhi shakes his head. "I love it, a bit too much, actually."
He could already imagine what he would do to her while she wore that. How she would taste if he sucked on the hollow between her neck and shoulder, how she would feel when he stroked her skin. How she would hasp and moan. How her strong thighs would wrap around him--
Yuhi's thoughts drifted when he saw her flushed gaze. "If you're embarrassed wearing it. I can't imagine how you felt when you made it."
"W-well, I did this for you." Sumire stammered.
"Red looks good on you." Yuhi licked his lips. He couldn't help but imagine how she tasted. His imagination was great. He could almost feel the taste of her in his mouth.
"Red is the color for seduction and passion, right? When you come back, I'll be wearing this." Sumire declared.
Yuhi exhaled deeply. "Damn it. I want to go to you right now."
Sumire laughed softly. "Uh, this is having a stronger effect than I thought."
Of course, it would. Not only is she wearing scandalous lingerie, but it was also something she made and that colour. She is wearing his colour- god. Yuhi felt his entire body turn hot. He already knew he was hard without glancing down.
It seems Sumire noticed. "Are you going to take care of that?"
Sumire said that question in a normal tone, but to him, it sounded different. She sounded seductive and good gods. He was going crazy with desire.
His thoughts break off when an idea comes to his mind. He has never tried this with her before. But if she is truly the one meant for him. Then, Yuhi focused on her. Focused on seeing her.
…..
He was dreaming. He was in a dream.
A place of nothingness, and yet it was somewhere. Somewhere unknown and yet familiar to them both. Yuhi felt someone gently caressing her hair and calling him an idiot.
Yuhi opened his eyes and saw Sumire staring at him. He had his head resting on her lap.
He immediately sat up, and Sumire laughed. "So, I knew you missed me. But I didn't think you would do this."
"Did you know about-" Yuhi didn't know how to phrase this.
Sumire nodded. "I have been studying, and Hino has been telling me more about evolved humans and hanyous. Apparently, two bonded people can enter each other's dreams or go into another dimension to meet."
This confirmed that Sumire is truly his other half. Even if she wasn't, from the very moment they met. She has been his only half.
Yuhi positioned the girl on his lap and ran his hands down her thigh, only to pause. Red, he saw red.
Yuhi finally looks at her properly and sees what she is wearing. He laughed. "So you knew I was calling for you and didn't decide to change."
At those words, Sumire rolled her eyes. "Why would I change? This is the exact reason why your self-control broke."
He laughed and turned the girl around. Yuhi nuzzled his face against hers. "I'm glad to see your fiery spirit hasn't changed in our time apart."
"Half a month isn't enough time for someone to change. Although," Sumire looked him up and down. "I do think you have become more handsome. This frail look makes you look even more mysterious."
At those words, he cringed. He knew he looked awful since he hadn't been sleeping properly. Yuhi felt Sumire's hands on his cheek. She was tracing each feature with so much care.
"My dear, I won't ruin our time together by talking about pointless things. But I just want to remind you. I'm not just your girlfriend, but your partner."
Yuhi immediately understood what she meant by the words partner. The term partner has several meanings.
"Yeah, you are." Yuhi kept looking at her face and then down below. "You know, I've always wanted to tell you that you wear rather revealing nightwear."
Even before she made this, Yuhi noticed how sexy her nightclothes were. Of course, he kept those thoughts to himself. He didn't want to risk scaring her away. He wanted to respect her decisions and wait for her to open up to him.
"Hmmm, even if you didn't say anything. I am not oblivious to how you look at me before we sleep and when you kiss me. I can feel your desire more clearly."
"But?"
"But I also knew that you'd never pounce on me or do anything I wasn't ready for." Sumire trailed off. "Now that we have been together for a while and just a ceremony away from marrying. I want you to be more open with your own wants and needs."
Yuhi felt his heartbeat speed up again. Good gods, how many times will this girl do this to him? What he wants? His needs? Does she truly get what she is asking for? Just thinking of her pressed up against him, naked and- his thoughts break off when Sumire brought her lips to his neck.
"This is a dream, but it isn't. So, can I drink from you?"
Recalling their conversation, Yuhi nodded and gently caressed her hair. "Go ahead."
No sooner had those words left his mouth, he felt a familiar prickling sensation down his neck. Yuhi was enjoying the feeling of the girl sucking and biting him passionately.
