Work Text:

The monitor finally turned off, hiding the long-forgotten new project tab as the screen turned black. The room was then much darker, devoid of the artificial and faint glow that kept it illuminated enough for Kanade and Mafuyu to be able to make out each other's faces.

The persistent buzz from electronics wasn’t really bothering Kanade anymore, as it was muffled by a sound she enjoyed way more. She found it amusing, how as gentle as the touch of their lips was, it still produced a sound loud enough to fill the room, a nice contrast to the soft, occasional hums that escaped Mafuyu's lips. Kanade was unaware of her own, but she regarded everything that reached her ears as a nice ensemble, a melody worthy of praise. 

 

“Kanade."

 

Kanade stayed still as Mafuyu left a kiss on her temple. Mafuyu's lips were soft, like the words he mumbled.

 

The graze of his skin made hers tingle, or were it the purple strands tickling her face and neck? Kanade couldn't be sure, but the thought was quickly discarded when a new sensation started begging for Kanade's attention. The palm of Mafuyu's hand made its way to her face, delicately stroking her cheek as his fingertips idly played with Kanade's ear. She leaned against the hand, not fighting the urge to feel more of his touch.

 

Mafuyu whispered her name again, oblivious to the way it made Kanade's heart skip a beat. His lips then found her forehead, nose, cheeks, and jaw, in a successful attempt to shower the other girl with affection. Just like her lips, Mafuyu's hands had their share of sweet possessiveness too. They indulged in the softness of Kanade's face like it was a wonder. The touch he left on the edge of her ears, her lobes too, presented Kanade a chance to show Mafuyu yet again how adoringly she reacted to his caresses. She let out a shaky breath.

 

Their noses brushed against each other, Mafuyu pressed his face even closer, impossibly so. Words failed the composer.

 

"I like kissing you."

 

Kanade's lips parted in an attempt to say something, anything. All that came out was nothing more than another sigh, the lips that settled on the corner of her mouth robbed her of any chance to convey what she was feeling. Mafuyu didn’t seem to have any trouble with such matters this time, as he made them clear by pressing his lips against Kanade’s again.

 

Mafuyu set a steady pace; and Kanade, longing to lose herself on the lyricist’s lips, tried to match the intense rhythm. It was not long before the movement of her lips turned sloppy, too weary to keep kissing Mafuyu back properly. Still, Kanade tried her best.

 

"Kanade, hold on, you're running out of breath..."

 

Mafuyu stopped Kanade by putting a hand on her chest. And she gave up on chasing after Mafuyu's lips.

 

Kanade took a deep breath in, inhaling in a way anyone would have deemed over the top. It wasn't. That was just how easily she ran out of breath.

 

"You're breathing hard too..." Kanade managed to say. A light-hearted giggle followed up.

 

At this, Mafuyu seemed taken aback, like he just noticed his own breathing. The realization came along with another one; his hand on Kanade's waist. When did it get there? What was the rest of Mafuyu's body doing when he was busy relishing Kanade's lips? There was this sense of unreality that took over his mind and heart, born from the unfamiliarity of letting himself loose. He wasn’t used to not having to watch every single thing his body did. In the past, not so long ago, Mafuyu would have sworn that even his breathing seemed to be on someone else's command. Now though, being pressed against Kanade like this, everything felt uncertain. It set his mind and body ablaze, unable to stop the anxiousness that crept up from within, but it was far from unpleasant.

 

Mafuyu gave one last peck to Kanade's lips. Never had he felt so good, so warm. It was even better when he took notice of the glint in Kanade's eyes and the blush on her normally pale cheeks, which seemed to show that the feeling was mutual.

 

"This is nice." He said, in a slightly raspy voice.

 

"It is." Kanade smiled. Mafuyu was being more communicative than usual. His reactions filled Kanade’s heart with joy and relief.

 

"How are you feeling?" Kanade asked, offering an outlet for Mafuyu to elaborate on his feelings a bit further if he so desired. 

 

Mafuyu paused. It took him some seconds to come back to reality, he was still rather out of it. 

 

"It's... weird. Being with you — kissing you — is really nice. It makes me want to go back even less.”

 

‘Back’ To that hell of a home. Kanade nodded, she tried her best to imagine.

 

“It’s scary.”

 

"Yeah." Kanade held Mafuyu in her arms. “I can only imagine… But don’t forget you can always lean on us until nice things aren't scary anymore, and even after that, of course…”

 

"Hm." The hand that Mafuyu placed on Kanade's back looked ridiculously big. The girl hugging him was small, yet there was this strength to her embrace that kept him in place with unshakable firmness. Just from where did all that strength come? "Thank you..."

 

They closed their eyes, basking in the comfort they both provided.

 

"I never want to stop doing this." Mafuyu breathed, and it was more than obvious that he truly meant it. 

 

"We don't have to stop," Kanade said, smiling lightheartedly. Her heart, in contrast to the serene manner in which she rubbed Mafuyu’s back, beat wildly in her chest at the idea of this being so important to Mafuyu.

 

“I don’t… really know how to explain this but, sometimes when we’re kissing, I feel like it’s not enough… It’s weird.” Mafuyu paid no mind to the slight shock on Kanade’s face and kept talking. “What about you? Don’t you feel like you want more?”

 

The question was one Kanade struggled to answer. Giving in to her own desires seemed selfish, like they were a burden she shouldn't impose on Mafuyu. Then again, she knew this wasn't something she should be thinking, or feeling. Kanade was so determined to give Mafuyu the chance to be himself, to speak his mind freely, but when it was time for Kanade to grant herself the very same right, it suddenly turned into this negative thing, as if she was only centering herself.

 

“Ah…” She laughed, nervously. “This is great for me already, really. I get to be this close to you and that’s all I could ask for.” It wasn’t entirely a lie. But, once again, Kanade decided to give up a portion of her heart when she didn’t even need to. 

 

“Stop that.” Kanade winced at the obvious concern in Mafuyu’s voice. Upsetting him wasn’t something she intended to do. “You’re doing that again. Not considering your own self. That’s not fair.”

 

Kanade sighed. She appreciated being called out on her bad habits. Kanade had grown a lot, the size of her self-neglect nowhere as big as it had been not so long ago. But sometimes, like the human being that she was, she couldn't help but forget, and fall back into the tendency to give up her space in this world. Kanade was lucky to have them, to have Mafuyu and the others. Mentally, she gave herself a sharp slap to her cheeks, as if waking herself up from the nightmare her brain could sometimes be.

 

“Sorry, you’re right. The truth is… I get what you’re feeling. A-and I feel the same way…” Kanade breathed in, it was almost comical. “I want to kiss you more, and touch you more!”

 

Mafuyu’s expression softened. He was still confused by his own feelings and desires. However, the fact Kanade shared the feeling and seemed to understand a bit better how to alleviate that need, put him at ease. He cuddled up next to her.

 

“Can we kiss more, then?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Kanade hummed deeply when Mafuyu kissed her again, she closed her eyes at the tingling sensation. It was getting a bit warm, especially when they were pressed against each other like that, surrounded by a bulky quilt and bed sheets that crumpled messily around their legs and hips.

 

The composer then kicked the mess of sheets out of the way as Mafuyu moved to start climbing on top of her, lips never leaving each other. Kanade sneaked her arms under Mafuyu's and pulled him closer by his back, a rising frustration taking hold of her senses once she realized they could be way, way closer, but she just couldn’t figure out how to.

 

“I’m happy… that you expressed how you feel,” Mafuyu said in between kisses. “Don’t you feel better?”

 

Kanade hummed in confirmation. If she was being honest, the only thing she could focus on right then was the way Mafuyu was licking at her lips, asking to be let in. 

 

Mafuyu’s tongue brushed Kanade’s slowly, a touch so sensual it made Kanade’s head spin.

 

“‘Does this feel warm to you?” Mafuyu asked as he barely pulled away from the composer’s lips.

 

Oh, how the tables have turned. Struggling through a hazy state of mind, Kanade tried to find the words to express herself. However, she still wanted to be honest, to not leave Mafuyu hanging.

 

“V-very…”

 

The next thing to leave Kanade’s lips was a soft, although loud enough whimper that not only surprised her, but also the boy in front of her. Mafuyu’s tongue left Kanade’s mouth, and he backed away just enough to be able to look at her face properly.

 

Right then, Kanade wanted to be anywhere but there. She felt her face grow impossibly warmer, and quickly turned it away from the comically inquisitive eyes that sought hers out.

 

“Wh-what?” Kanade almost couldn’t let her voice out.

 

“C-can you do that again?” Mafuyu’s voice didn’t sound like his usual either.

 

“Eh?”

 

Before Kanade had a chance to say something else, Mafuyu quickly understood. He moved his head closer and pressed their lips together again in an open-mouthed kiss. It only took Kanade two seconds to bring her arms up to helplessly, and superficially, try to push Mafuyu away by his shoulders, in a futile attempt to mitigate the hunger with which he was now kissing her. Mafuyu deepened the kiss, and the knees on each side of Kanade’s waist moved further apart, causing the girl to be left even more trapped under his weight. With no possible way of moving, and a treat so enticing that made Mafuyu’s affection impossible to refuse, Kanade had no other choice but to accept everything, even the strong grip on her waist and the fingers that very nimbly dared to creep up under her tank top.

 

When Kanade’s bottom lip was pulled at by Mafuyu’s teeth and the tongue that explored her mouth grew even more desperate, she could only give in to the sounds begging to leave her throat. An immediate response reached her ears as Mafuyu let out a moan too,  right before his lips finally left Kanade’s. 

 

Kanade didn’t have time to look at the expression on Mafuyu's face, as the boy quickly found a spot on her neck to hide in. Trembling arms hugged his shoulders, keeping him there as they both struggled to catch their breath. 

 

“Kanade…” Mafuyu stuttered, choking on each syllable of her name while softly whimpering against her neck. 

 

“Y-yeah?”

 

“I want more…”

 

The hands that were grabbing Kanade’s sides had moved around the small of her back to instead draw the composer in for a tight embrace. The last time Kanade had seen Mafuyu this needy was at that time she had taken care of him when he was sick. 

 

When she felt him nuzzle her neck harder, her grip on him tightened. She, too, felt that feverish, urgent need. Kanade then bared her neck, hopefully Mafuyu would get the hint.

 

And he did. Mafuyu pressed his lips there, tongue also grazing the sensitive skin; and a single, cautious kiss soon turned into a hungry display of his desire. Being on the receiving end of such big affection made Kanade’s heart beat uncontrollably, hard against her chest; and just like Mafuyu, she found the proximity comforting, yet never enough. 

 

“Mafuyu…” Kanade didn’t even know what she wanted to ask him exactly. Millions of thoughts crossed her mind, but she couldn't put any of them into words. The girl was perfectly aware of the possible, and promising outcome this tender deed of theirs could have, but was Mafuyu? Did Mafuyu really want things to go that way?

 

On Kanade’s part, she really, really wanted to. She wanted to go all the way with him, so much that she didn’t know what to do with herself. In her mind, she deemed the situation complicated, immediately assuming Mafuyu didn’t share the sentiment, nonsensical thoughts that were quickly hushed when she felt her shorts being pulled down.

 

“Eh-!?” 

 

Kanade didn’t recall fully lying down on the bed. Mafuyu hovered over her, wearing an expression Kanade had never seen before. The arch of his brow and the blush that painted his whole face red made him look too adorable for Kanade to handle looking at him any longer. There was also this… haste to the way he was acting, to the way he looked, too.

 

“You want this, don’t you…? It’s written all over your face.”

 

If Ena was there, she would tell him that’s not something you just say to someone. Kanade, however, reacted like she always did upon Mafuyu’s unintentional teasing. Hanging her head low, she whined, embarrassed. 

 

“Is… that a yes?” Mafuyu asked, and it sounded troubled, upset even.

 

“Y-yes! I do… Is everything okay?”

 

More than upset, Mafuyu looked overwhelmed.

 

“I don’t know… I feel so… unsure. I don’t know what I should do about the way I’m feeling, and I want to make you feel good, but I don’t know what to do about that either…”

 

Kanade found Mafuyu’s hand and grabbed it gently.

 

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

 

Mafuyu squeezed Kanade’s hand back. No matter what troubled him, Kanade’s warmth always seemed to ease it all.

 

“If you could… guide me through it, tell me exactly what to do and how you feel…”

 

If there was one thing Kanade excelled at, it was being straightforward. She never minded baring her soul, especially if she could help someone feel seen by doing so. Kanade didn’t find it embarrassing to share her most earnest thoughts, like when she praised Ena and Mizuki’s work, or like when she checked on Mafuyu. Saying things as she felt them had always been normal for her, the most comfortable, so it wasn’t hard for her to understand why Mafuyu would need that sort of communication too.

 

“Of course.” Kanade offered him a smile. “Come here?”

 

Mafuyu lowered his upper body, and Kanade craned her neck to leave a peck on his lips.

 

“How are you feeling?”

 

“Desperate.”

 

The answer was quicker than Kanade had expected, it made her crack a smile. The throbbing of her heart did nothing but get stronger, though, at the thought of being so wanted.

 

“Yeah, I think we’re feeling the same way… Do you want me to touch you?”

 

Mafuyu took some seconds to answer, pondering silently and bowing his head to look at Kanade’s slightly exposed groin.

 

“I’m… not sure. I do want to see more of your reactions, though…” 

 

Fighting through the unyielding self-consciousness that the situation evoked, and noticing that Mafuyu’s fingers seemed quite fixated on the waistband of her shorts, Kanade managed to, somehow, keep her word to communicate as clearly as possible. 

 

“Y- you can take them off. I want- I need you to touch me… uh, between my legs…”

 

Kanade hoped that had been clear enough. Ah, her heart beat so loudly, she felt dizzy. If Mafuyu did touch her, Kanade would… would come, just from that, she thought. The pressure between her legs was too much.

 

Mafuyu’s lips pressed together, trembling adorably, and his face grew warmer. He tried to say something, but couldn’t. What would he say, anyway? All he could make sense of was that he wanted Kanade so badly he could eat her. Of course, Mafuyu wouldn’t literally eat her, but he found that hunger was an accurate enough descriptor to explain these confusing, searing feelings. 

 

He felt rather stupid, struggling so much to pull the shorts, and panties, down. Nothing made any sense, Mafuyu had never been this clumsy.

 

“O-oh, Mafuyu, could you kiss me? I’m getting a bit shy…”

 

Mafuyu nodded, leaving the pieces of clothing hanging around Kanade’s ankles. He figured Kanade didn’t want him to stare too much at her naked body, hence the request and the way she tried to close her legs. However, he still needed to ask.

 

“Is it because you don’t want me to look?”

 

Kanade nodded.

 

“Y-yeah. It’ll be okay later, maybe… but, right now, I’m too nervous.”

 

Empathy, Mafuyu. You need to show empathy.

 

“I’m nervous too.”

 

Mafuyu wasn’t sure if that had helped Kanade feel better, but she was laughing, at least. Wait, was that too dry?

 

“Mafuyu?”

 

“Yeah.” He said, after leaving a soft kiss on Kanade’s lips.

 

“I think I won’t be as nervous if you take something off too. Only if you want.”

 

Yeah, that made sense. Actually, Mafuyu really liked the idea. For a while now, he had been incredibly annoyed by the clothes sticking to his warm and sweaty skin, especially his bra, so Kanade’s suggestion was quite attractive.

 

Mafuyu let his cardigan slide off his shoulders and arms, but it was once he finally freed his chest from the constrictive garment that he felt truly comfortable. Yeah, that was so much better. It wasn’t only better for him, apparently, judging from the awestruck look on Kanade’s face

 

“You're a bit of a pervert.”

 

“O-oh, I'm sorry!!” 

 

Kanade squeaked, visibly mortified, and did the best she could manage to look somewhere that wasn't at Mafuyu's boobs.

 

“It's okay, I don't mind.”

 

Mindful of the places her eyes landed upon, Kanade looked at Mafuyu again, at the pretty color of his eyes, and at the lashes that tickled his rosy cheeks. She moved her right arm up, to let the palm of her hand caress the softness of Mafuyu’s face.

 

Mafuyu’s eyes, on the contrary, curious and unabashed, gave him away. What he wanted—to satisfy his desires as he had just moments earlier—was obvious to Kanade, but she was unsure whether that was Mafuyu’s case, who seemed to be waiting for further guidance from her.

 

Where should the composer draw the line? She wanted to ensure Mafuyu’s comfort, to help him in any way she could by doing what he himself had asked. But, at the same time, she was afraid that by guiding him too much she would unintentionally strip him of any ability to choose for himself. Kanade only wanted Mafuyu to enjoy this as much as she was, to have his heart beat loudly against his chest for the same reason hers did, to feel all giddy from excitement, not from fear.

 

Maybe Kanade was thinking a bit too much herself. 

 

“You were doing just great earlier, if that’s what’s been bothering you. You can let yourself go, it’s completely fine, Mafuyu…” 

 

“Hm. But it’s scary… I don’t really understand why.”

 

“I think… you should let whatever feels good guide you. I really liked it when you were kissing me, didn’t it feel good for you too? N-not just kissing me, I mean… doing what your body was asking you to do.”

 

Mafuyu nodded, relating to Kanade’s words but still visibly antsy.

 

“Don’t worry, I’ll still let you know what feels good for me, but I want you to feel good too.” 

 

Mafuyu followed Kanade's gaze as it moved from his eyes to her lower body instead.

 

“Uhm, I think… you wanna touch, right? Y-you can.”

 

“Is it okay to look now?” Mafuyu asked. Kanade noticed the way his eyes lit up, it was impossible not to.

 

“Yeah… I'm still a bit embarrassed but I'll be fine.” She nodded as a nervous laugh escaped her lips.

 

Mumbling an almost inaudible ‘okay’, Mafuyu straightened his back a bit, and looked down at the legs on each side of his waist. One hand grabbed Kanade's left thigh, and moved her leg further apart as his other hand started pulling Kanade's tank top up, revealing more of her torso until the fabric crumpled under the girl's chin. 

 

Kanade had told Mafuyu she would be okay, but the way she quickly covered her face with her arms denoted that she was clearly struggling.

 

Mafuyu's mouth watered at the sight. It was a funny feeling, although the increasing pounding of his heart still felt overwhelming at times. He massaged Kanade's thigh, seeking to somehow ease the uncomfortable thoughts she was undoubtedly facing. And, lowering his body once again, he moved his face closer to Kanade's to gently kiss her face.

 

“You're cute.”

 

Mafuyu wasn't accustomed to saying things like that, mainly because he struggled to identify the kind of things he found cute, but he was sure this time, and it felt great to say it out loud. For good measure, and also because Kanade looked too adorable to simply ignore it, Mafuyu moved his hand to lovingly tickle her cheeks. 

 

“Tickle, tickle…”

 

Mafuyu’s tone and facial expression didn’t quite match the sweetness of his action, but that did not matter at all, because Kanade felt like her heart was about to explode, in the best of ways. If Mafuyu was trying to ease her anxiousness, he had definitely succeeded. 

 

When he finally did touch her —a curious, soft finger pressing against the nub above Kanade's entrance— his heart leaped at the reaction, at the voice that slipped past Kanade’s lips, and at the dampness that now covered his fingertip. It made Mafuyu pull his hand away, but not too far away. That familiar desperation was back, hitting him like a truck, and it urged him to keep touching, to try and get more of those reactions from Kanade.

 

The look on Kanade’s face, though Mafuyu ached to see, was out of sight as she hid on his neck. Mafuyu felt her lips part, and then press back together as if attempting, and failing, to say something.

 

“J-just like that. Keep going…” She finally managed to get out.

 

Mafuyu slid two of his fingers down Kanade’s folds and tried to get used to the still weird wetness that stuck to his fingers. He almost commented on it, on how wet Kanade was despite having barely touched her yet. Mafuyu kept the observation for himself, should the trembling of Kanade’s body worsen. 

 

The sounds that escaped her mouth, timid yet unrestrained, lured Mafuyu into a haze that robbed him of all rational thought. That burning urge never stopped being foreign, and scary, but the extent of those feelings was insignificant in comparison with how badly he wished to touch the girl under him. ‘Touch’ fell short. Mafuyu would gladly melt into her warmth. 

 

If he hugged Kanade with all his might, pulled her in for a tight embrace that left her breathless; or if his hands—or lips—were to find every inch of her skin, would that be enough? Would that satiate Mafuyu? And Kanade?

 

Wrapping one of his arms around the small of Kanade’s back, Mafuyu lifted and pulled her towards him. She was so, so light. Mafuyu kept her there as he pressed his face against her belly. He nuzzled and rubbed, and breathed her scent in. 

 

“Kanade…”

 

Mafuyu moved towards where his fingers had been touching seconds before, grazing Kanade’s skin with his lips on his way down. Then, a sharp, loud gasp echoed through the room, making Mafuyu’s shoulders jerk momentarily before he doubled down on his affection.

 

“Ma- Ah !”

 

Mafuyu looked up as his lips latched more firmly onto Kanade, as he found the right spot to suck on, and met Kanade’s gaze. She flushed down to her neck, eyes teary, and it didn’t seem like she knew what to do with her hands. They moved up to cover her face and then, immediately after, drove down to find somewhere to hang on to. Her hands found Mafuyu’s shoulders, but even there they moved frenziedly, scraping Mafuyu’s neck and jaw, and clenching around nothing. 

 

“Do you like this?”

 

Mafuyu didn’t even move his mouth away to say that. Kanade’s eyes rolled back. 

 

“H-hmm!” Kanade moaned, mewled . And fearing that that hadn’t counted as an answer, she nodded forcefully and lovingly stroked the side of Mafuyu’s neck.

 

It wasn’t just her own moans that filled Kanade’s ears, the sounds of Mafuyu lapping at her sex rang across the room so loudly it made Kanade’s face burn. It was… rather late into the night now that Kanade thought about it, and everything outside was silent, turning the night into an empty canvas for the lovers to splatter their sounds into.

 

Kanade’s eyes were blurry, her heaving chest partially blocked her vision too. But once her gaze found Mafuyu’s, she could no longer avert her eyes from the yearning behind the boy’s expression.

 

She could even see the flick of his tongue, how Mafuyu’s nose scrunched up when he pushed his face further against her. It was all this; the way his fingers dug into her sides, the way he groaned and whimpered, and closed his eyes in pure bliss, that made everything so intoxicating. Kanade’s head was spinning, so unfocused that she didn’t have time to feel self-conscious about the whimpers that left her, but she did feel a pang of uneasiness. 

The desire to make Mafuyu feel good and her typical, inexorable guilt she got from feeling good herself, converged and frightened her away from fully indulging in her lover’s touch. 

 

“Kanade…” He slurred, he grunted.

 

Mafuyu looked up with eyes so big, so sparkly. His brow, tilted upwards as if worried, made him look so lovely, so innocent. And, in addition to the caresses his tongue left across Kanade’s folds, it gave Kanade the impression of being worshipped by… a loyal puppy. She blushed at the thought. Shit, Mafuyu really looked like one…

 

“G-good. Good boy… That feels… so good…” To Kanade, the words had come out so pathetically, all messy and shaky. But Mafuyu closed his eyes tightly, a high-pitched moan leaving his mouth. Kanade cracked a smile. Cute.

 

Elated, Mafuyu started sucking greedily, prodding Kanade’s entrance with his tongue. In his desperation, he let go of Kanade’s waist, making her fall back against the mattress. This time, his hands moved to hook around Kanade’s thighs, completely keeping her in place as his mouth demanded more of her. 

 

Ironically, although Kanade was closer than ever—anticipation taking over her senses—she felt impossibly calmer. She stretched her head back, facing the ceiling, and closed her eyes. Mafuyu’s mouth on her was so velvety, so wet, so nice. 

 

Kanade’s eyes filled with tears. She didn’t want to come, she wanted to spend hours like this, wrapped in warmth. However, Mafuyu’s touch was urgent, hungry, he was getting Kanade there , it was inevitable.

 

“Mafuyu… Mafuyu…”

 

She felt the gentle caress of his hands across her thighs, and the plumpness of his lips wrapping softly, yet firmly, around her clit. And, finally, Kanade came.

 

Muttering a soft “sorry” as her hips helplessly, and violently, bucked forward against Mafuyu’s face, Kanade collapsed on top of the mattress. Her lungs, heaving the heaviest of sighs, and her prettily flushed skin, prompted Mafuyu to lower his body until their torsos touched and his forehead met hers. 

 

As if fascinated, or utterly enamored of the girl in front of him, Mafuyu couldn’t avert his gaze. He studied all his eyes could see, almost afraid of possibly missing something. As the seconds passed, Mafuyu didn’t move. He stayed there with his forehead resting against Kanade’s as she slowly caught her breath. When she finally came to, and opened her pretty eyes, Mafuyu’s breath was completely stolen away.

 

“Are you okay…?” His voice sounded even softer than usual and cracked at the last syllable.

 

“Heheh, yeah…” Kanade breathed out, unable to contain a silly giggle.

 

Then, her heart sank at the sight of the watery sparkle in the boy’s eyes.

 

“Ma-mafuyu?? Wait, don’t cry…”

The boy sniffled, still looking right into Kanade’s eyes, like he didn’t even notice his own tears. The expression on his face was not a painful one, though, so the panic in Kanade’s rapidly dissipated, to instead display a soft smile. She pulled Mafuyu in for a hug. 

 

“There, there…” Softy, she patted his back. “It felt amazing, right? We can feel this good together as many times as we want…”

 

“Hm.” Mafuyu nodded, nestling against Kanade’s side and burying his face on her neck. That was certainly a lovely promise. “Thank you.”

 

“What for?”

“For always showing me warmth.”

 

Kanade didn’t know what to say. She fell silent, smiled, and hugged Mafuyu as tightly as her tired body let her. He wasn’t even the one who came, and yet he spoke like Kanade had shown him the world. 

 

“Here…” Kanade huffed, as she tried to reposition Mafuyu on top of her until he was straddling one of her legs. “Like this. I’m a bit tired, but you can… rock your hips. Against me. Don’t you wanna c-come too?”

 

Yeah. Mafuyu felt like he was on fire, he was very aware of the need to alleviate the pulsing heat between his legs, but he had been so busy feeling good from making Kanade feel good that he hadn’t thought of actually addressing it.

 

He swayed his hips tentatively, and immediately felt the consequences of his actions, as shown by the way his lips parted to let out a silent moan. Kanade guided him as best as she could, pushing him more against herself as she stroked the back of his neck, a calming touch compared to the accelerating rhythm of Mafuyu’s hips.

 

“I-I think I’m close already…”

 

Kanade was moved with joy. Making Mafuyu come . She almost couldn’t contain the excitement that came from the chance to witness the boy on top of her feel so good that he had no choice but to let go completely. The fact that he was already this close, and all because of her, made matters even better. Kanade left big, loving smooches on his temple as his movements grew more frantic. 

 

Warmth . If that was the case, then Kanade should thank Mafuyu too. 

 

“...nade”

 

Even with her limbs numb, still trembling from her recent orgasm, and the bliss that had spread all throughout her body thanks to it, Kanade still had trouble processing the pleasure and delight that undoubtedly came with it. Everything felt like a dream, a very colorful and happy one. It was nothing like the cold, lonely nights Kanade had spent trembling on her bed, shoving fingers deep inside herself in a way that bore no resemblance to how she was being touched now. It wasn’t hatred that accompanied her this night, it was Mafuyu, her Mafuyu, who was now crushing her with his weight as he finally lost control of his body.

 

“Kanade…!”

 

Mafuyu couldn’t suppress the violent jerk of his hips, or how they pinned Kanade further against the mattress. She absolutely did not mind, though. Kanade was too focused on treasuring every move, every sigh, every touch from Mafuyu, so the last thing she wanted was for Mafuyu to climb off her before she got to properly savor everything.

 

Mafuyu lay there, his whole weight on top of Kanade as he huffed and panted right into her ear. Kanade let out a choked giggle, delighted to have Mafuyu there, all spent, but struggling to breathe under such a big puppy.

 

“I’m crushing you… sorry.” 

 

“It’s fine. Please, don’t move. S-stay like this…”

 

“Kanade?”

 

“Stay like this…”

 

Kanade’s small hands rested on Mafuyu’s back, over his shoulder blades, and left light taps there, setting a rhythm that was little by little lulling Mafuyu to sleep. 

 

All of this had felt so out of reach, so idyllic for the Kanade that winced upon the mere thought of herself. All the warmth Mafuyu thanked her for, she should thank him back for too. 

 

“Kanade… I still feel like I want more.”

 

“H-huh? Well…” Honestly, Kanade had already exceeded her daily dose of intense emotions.

 

Mafuyu purred as he closed his eyes, hugging Kanade like she was his bunny plush.

 

“It’s fine… This feeling is not going away, I think. But it’s not bad.”

 

Mafuyu’s words were vague. But, somehow, Kanade understood perfectly.

 

“As long as we can be together like this, I will be happy…” He added.

 

“Yeah, I get it. I understand...” 

 

With a heart that felt about to burst from how loudly it beat, yet a mind so calm that nothing could possibly disturb it, Kanade closed her eyes and smiled. Sleep found her not much later, so quickly it could even be considered a miracle in Kanade’s case. How could she not fall asleep when she felt so utterly warm and safe. How many years had it been since she let herself indulge in the innocence of genuine love. 

 

Mafuyu, too, reassured by the promise of infinite warmth alongside the girl in his arms, met the sweetest of dreams that night.
