The sweet morning between lovers
It’s been a few days since me and Riko officially started dating. Riko started to touch me every day, as she had declared on our first night.
I don’t know if that really raises the “readiness level” of both of us, but as I love Riko, I had no complaints. If I were to explain what those days were like, I think any man would nod his head and say, “That’s just too sweet”. Let’s take today’s morning for example.
As I was brushing my teeth in front of the washroom after eating the breakfast Riko had prepared, she came in late. Before we started dating, we were both reserved and didn’t enter the bathroom when the other was using it, but Riko showed me the sweet and sour pleasure of using the bathroom together.
Riko smiled at me when she saw me in the mirror and said, “I’m going to brush my teeth too,” as she hugged me. I had already started brushing my teeth, so I couldn’t hug her back because I had one hand full.
Riko squeezed me tightly for a moment, then let out a deep, satisfied breath and let go of my hand. She starts brushing her teeth next to me, our arms still standing within touching distance.
For the first few days, I felt bad about bumping into her, and every time our arms or shoulders touched, I distanced myself from her by retreating deeper into the bathroom, but the further I went, the more she got closer on me.
When I finished brushing my teeth and was able to talk to her, she requested, “Don’t leave me. I want to stay close to you,” she said sweetly, and only then did I realize Riko’s intentions.
Aren’t lovers supposed to spend time at a touching distance, rather than being careful not to touch each other? That thought made me feel ticklish and embarrassed.
And to make matters worse, Riko would sometimes play cute tricks with her free left hand while brushing her teeth. She would pull on my uniform shirt, or poke my waist with her fingertips.
I’ve always loved Riko, but now that we were dating, there was no limit to her adorableness. Not only did she look cute, but her actions were so adorable that I felt like I was close to lose my mind…
After we both finished brushing our teeth, Riko checked my appearance. Even though I’ve been in high school for three years, I’ve never been very good at tying a tie, and Riko has always taken care of that for me, but now that we’re dating, I’m leaving the tying to her.
“Then, Minato-kun, please bend over like you always do.”
“T-thank you.”
I bent down so that Riko’s hand could reach me. No matter how many times I’ve experienced it, the moment when she reached for my neck with my tie in her hand always made me so nervous that I couldn’t help but hold my breath every time.
“Yes, it’s perfect now! I’ll do your hair next.”
Then she gently stroked my cat-like hair.
“Hehe. You have a cute sleeping habit today.”
“That’s embarrassing… I’m trying to be careful when I go to bed, but no matter how I sleep, I always get it on me… I’m sorry for making you go through the trouble every time, Riko.”
“Eh, why are you apologizing? I really like every moment when I can touch Minato-kun’s hair. And I also love Minato-kun’s sleeping habits. In fact, it would be a shame to fix it.”
“Well, that would be very embarrassing at school…!”
“Hehe, don’t worry, I know what you feel about that. Besides, the cute Minato-kun is only for me, so I won’t show him to anyone in school.”
What’s with that cute possessiveness…?
I’m pretty sure the other students don’t have any interest in me at all, but since I couldn’t stop myself from falling even deeper in love with Riko, I didn’t comment on her trait. Riko then carefully combed my hair, applied a mist to correct my sleeping habits, and cleaned it with a hair dryer and iron. I was so happy…
“Riko, thank you for every day.”
“Yes. I want to thank you too. I’m very happy to be able to serve Minato-kun more than before.”
“I’m worried that I’m getting this spoiled… No matter how much we’re dating and married, I think there are some things we should refrain from…”
“…N-no, you can’t…!”
“But, at this rate, I’m going to be the guy who can’t do anything for himself.”
“…You won’t be able to do anything without me, Minato-kun… Why does it make me feel so excited…”
“Ri-Riko-san…!”
As usual, Riko’s eagerness do everything for me appeared, and then the time limit for the morning was reached.
◇◇◇
After having my appearance cleaned up, I packed the lunch box that Riko had made in my bag and we left the house separately. Although we had started dating, we had to keep the fact that we were married and living together a secret, so there was nothing we could do about it.
“Well then, Riko. I’ll be waiting for you at Ofuna Station as usual.”
“Yes. I’ll catch up with you in five minutes.”
We exchanged the same exchange as usual at the entrance, and a little silence passed between us.
“…Can I have another hug today?”
I felt embarrassed to confirm it again. It would have been easier if she had just done it quietly, like when I was brushing my teeth, but I guess Riko thought of it as a ritual on our way out. I think that’s why she always wants to confirm such things.
Riko’s ears were also red, and I knew she wasn’t enjoying the fact that I was embarrassed. I’m sure she was trying her best to close the distance between us in her own way. So I’m trying to be brave enough to answer.
“Err, yeah, go ahead.”
I opened up my arms and was prepared to welcome Riko. This made a smile appear on her face, which also made me very joyful. With an exhalation of happiness, Riko jumped into my arms. Then we squeezed each other and remained like that for ten seconds.
I could hear the sound of Riko’s heart beating. I’m sure my heartbeat was echoing Riko’s.
I felt so nervous, so embarrassed, yet so comfortable. Every time I came in contact with Riko, I felt such a strange sensation.
“Have a great day, Minato-kun.”
“See you later, Riko.”
This was how we spent our time every morning. In the evening, Riko would greet me with the routine, “Bath, dinner, or me?”
But that’s another story.
