When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 40: Exchanging Hickies With Snow White.

Exchanging Hickies With Snow White.

“Welcome, Taka-kun.”

On a Saturday, a day off from school, Takashi visited Himeno’s house after having breakfast. Himeno had expressed the desire to make breakfast, but they generally settled on making it in the afternoon or evening. Therefore, on holidays, he would go to her house after finishing his meal.

There, they decided on their plans for the day.

As students without part-time jobs, they couldn’t go out somewhere every week, so there were times when they spent their holidays relaxing at home.

Welcoming him with a smile, Himeno was cute, he thought, as he took off his shoes and headed towards the living room.

“Taka-kun.”

He was embraced by Himeno, who probably still recalled moments of being bullied when alone. Although they exchanged messages on the messaging app at night, there seemed to be lingering sadness.

“Do you have a place you want to go today?”

“I just want to stay like this. I had a sad dream…”

She held him tightly, showing no intention of letting go. Perhaps she had dreamt of being alone or bullied.

“I want to feel Taka-kun forever.”

Though he had become somewhat accustomed to being close to her, hearing such words from someone he liked still caused his heart to race. His body warmed up, and his heart pounded vigorously.

However, he enjoyed the intimacy with the person he liked and wanted to stay close, no matter how hard it was on his heart.

After all, everyone should find joy in being close to someone they love.

“Of course, that’s fine.”

I sat on the sofa with Himeno, who didn’t let go, and continued to stroke her head.

“Hmm…” Himeno made a cute sound and seemed to enjoy being petted with narrowed eyes.

Girls, as Marika mentioned yesterday, feel happy when their heads are stroked, especially when they’re feeling lonely. It seemed true, as Himeno looked at me with eyes that seemed to want more.

Feeling the impulse to fulfill the wish of someone I liked, I continued to stroke Himeno’s head, who had a happy expression.

Just being together made me feel so affectionate, and I could see myself falling more and more in love.

When I fell for Marika, there wasn’t this day-by-day realization of growing affection. Even though I had feelings for her, I still saw her as an older sister.

But now, Himeno had completely become a substitute for the sister I lost.

“Taka-kun, I want you to give me a hickey.”

It was a request that made Himeno blush.

However, Himeno was wearing a long dress, so to place it on her thigh, I would have to lift it up. Despite becoming gradually accustomed to physical contact, lifting the hem of her dress posed a high level of difficulty.

“Put the hickey on my neck, please. And I also want to give you a hickey, Taka-kun.”

She made a request that posed a different kind of difficulty.

Putting a hickey on her neck could be visible to others, and seeing it, other guys might become jealous.

“Even though we’re recognized as a Idiot Couple, there are guys who get jealous.”

“While the bullying from the girls has stopped, there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again in the future. But if we have hickeys, they’ll see that we’re a genuine Idiot Couple.”

“True, but…”

Honestly, I did have the desire to leave a hickey on her neck.

The desire to possess the person I liked was dominating my thoughts.

“………And besides…., I can flaunt it in front of Shikibe-san…”

“Hmm?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

She spoke so quietly that I couldn’t catch what she said, but it probably wasn’t something crucial.

“How about we give each other hickeys?”

“W-Well, okay.”

Feeling incredibly embarrassed, I couldn’t suppress the urge to leave a hickey.

Holding each other close, we gently pressed our foreheads together and then looked into each other’s eyes.

My face reflected in her blue eyes, and I could see that it had turned red.

It made me even more embarrassed, but once I agreed to it, there was no turning back.

“Alright, let’s do it.”

“Yes.”

We both leaned in to place our lips on each other’s necks.

Her thighs were quite soft, and so was her neck.

And Himeno’s lips were soft and warm. I felt a desire to stay like this forever.

“Mmm… smooch”

Her soft lips were gently sucking on my neck, and not wanting to be outdone, I returned the favor by leaving a hickey on her neck.

It might seem like a surreal sight, both of us giving each other hickeys, but it felt like we were claiming each other, and that made me happy.

The sound of our kisses echoed in the room, making me want to leave more hickeys.

Even though there were probably already visible marks even if we separated, neither of us had any intention of letting go.

“Hehe, we’ve left quite a mark.”

Of course, we couldn’t stay attached forever, and after a while, our exchange of hickeys came to an end.
