The bedroom door was gently nudged open by Imaizumi Keita's back, making a soft "click".
The room was unlit, with only faint light filtering in from the living room, barely outlining the furniture.
Imaizumi Keita held the girl in his arms, turned, and hooked the door closed with his heel.
"Thud."
The last bit of light was shut out, and the whole world seemed to consist only of the two of them, and their clearly audible heartbeats and breaths.
"Keita..."
The darkness amplified her senses; Yanami Anna could clearly feel how firm and strong the body holding her was.
Even through the fabric, she could feel the burning warmth emanating from his chest.
She pressed her cheek against his chest, her voice soft, not yet fully recovered from the kiss.
Imaizumi Keita didn't respond, but simply took a step, walking unerringly to the bed based on memory.
He bent down and carefully placed the girl in his arms onto the soft mattress.
The bed sank deeply under their combined weight.
Before Yanami Anna could react, Imaizumi Keita naturally leaned over her, his arms propped on either side of her body, completely enveloping her in his shadow.
He didn't rush to make the next move, but simply looked down at her quietly, letting his weight transfer through their touching skin.
Yanami Anna nervously clutched the bedsheet beneath her, feeling the weight on top of her.
Imaizumi Keita exuded a relaxing aura, so gentle that she couldn't even think of resisting.
Yanami Anna had no idea if Imaizumi Keita was using his Superpower for this kind of thing...
If his Superpower could make their experience better, she wouldn't be angry even if Keita used it secretly.
"Anna."
Imaizumi Keita called Yanami Anna's name, then lowered his head and gently kissed her neck.
Yanami Anna felt her neck suddenly heat up, and her whole body began to tingle from her neck downwards, twisting involuntarily.
"W-wait a minute..."
Yanami Anna suddenly turned her head, speaking with an unsteady breath, "I... I haven't showered yet..."
She had sweated a little after eating Sukiyaki earlier, and her body felt a bit sticky, so to just...
Yanami Anna still felt a bit embarrassed...
"Did you shower before you came?"
Imaizumi Keita stopped his movements, his nose gently brushing against her cheek.
"...I did."
Yanami Anna's cheeks grew even hotter, and she shyly turned her face away, answering honestly.
"That's fine then."
Imaizumi Keita naturally knew what she was worried about, and he knew that letting her stop now to take a shower wouldn't really change anything.
However, if he let her go to the bathroom alone...
What if this shy girl calmed down and used the opportunity to back out or even run away?
He didn't want to take that risk.
Moreover, given the current situation, Yanami Anna likely wouldn't agree to showering together anyway.
"We've already come this far, Anna-chan,"
His voice carried a hint of seductive persuasion, "Do you really think I'll let you go now?"
Yeah...
At this point, saying anything more seemed redundant.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, which served as a silent agreement to his words.
Having received permission, Imaizumi Keita no longer hesitated.
The temperature in the room began to climb sharply, and the air became thick and scorching.
Clothing was shed piece by piece, eventually vanishing into the darkness.
When skin finally pressed against skin without any barriers, both let out a slight shudder at the unfamiliar sensation.
Imaizumi Keita's movements were very gentle, patiently guiding Yanami Anna and soothing her tension and unease.
Yanami Anna held him tightly, her fingernails unconsciously scratching across his back.
Outside the window, the moonlight had at some point broken free from the clouds, casting a bright, pure glow onto the bedroom floor through the gaps in the curtains.
It was unknown how much time had passed before this first union, a mixture of greenness and impulse, finally subsided slowly.
Yanami Anna lay limp on the bed, her chest heaving violently as she gasped for breath.
Her consciousness was still a bit hazy; the soreness radiating from every part of her body and an unprecedented sense of fatigue made her not want to move even a single finger.
Imaizumi Keita lay on his side next to her, also calming his own somewhat hurried breathing.
He looked at the girl beside him, who was too exhausted to speak, then glanced at the somewhat messy bed, his eyes revealing a gentleness mixed with pity and satisfaction.
He leaned down, pressed a light kiss to her forehead, and once again slid his arms under her knees and back.
"Mm...?" Feeling her body suspended in the air again, Yanami Anna tiredly opened her eyes, "Keita... what are you doing?"
"Helping you bathe."
Imaizumi Keita's answer was matter-of-fact as he carried her steadily toward the bathroom.
"I... I can do it myself!"
Yanami Anna's cheeks flared up once again.
Even though they had already done the most intimate of things, bathing together was still a bit...
"Is that so?" Imaizumi Keita arched an eyebrow, looking down at her, "Can you even stand up straight right now?"
"I..." Yanami Anna was speechless.
She had to admit that right now, even standing up felt like a struggle.
...
The sound of splashing water echoed in the bathroom.
A warm stream of water gushed from the showerhead, washing away the sweat and fatigue from both of them.
After the shower, Imaizumi Keita wrapped Yanami Anna tightly in a large bath towel, then carried her back to the bedroom and placed her on the bed, which now had clean sheets.
He, meanwhile, casually wrapped a towel around his waist and walked to the wardrobe.
Yanami Anna sat on the edge of the bed, drying her damp hair. Due to the heat from the bathroom, the flush on her face had yet to fully fade.
She peeked up at Imaizumi Keita's well-defined, broad back, and her heart unhelpfully skipped a beat again.
Imaizumi Keita opened the wardrobe and pulled out an exquisitely packaged paper bag.
He turned around, walked back to the bedside, and held the bag out in front of Yanami Anna.
"What's this?"
"What's this?"
Imaizumi Keita didn't say anything, simply walking to the bedside and handing her the paper bag.
Yanami Anna opened it curiously, and when she saw what was inside, her breath hitched.
It was a swimsuit.
A light blue bikini with very little fabric and a daring design.
"I mentioned it before, didn't I?"
Imaizumi Keita sat down beside her and explained, "That I'd buy a new swimsuit and have you wear it for me."
Yanami Anna looked up and met Imaizumi Keita's eyes.
She understood his intention instantly.
This bastard... he just...
And now he's making this kind of request again...
However, looking at Imaizumi Keita's expectant gaze, she couldn't bring herself to say no.
She shyly lowered her eyes, clutching the swimsuit to her chest and asked:
"...Where should I change?"
"Right here."
"...I-I'll wear it, just turn around first..."
