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 85: Snow White's Possessiveness.

Snow White’s Possessiveness.

“I couldn’t sleep at all…”

“Yeah.”

On the first day of officially being a couple, we couldn’t sleep until morning. The reason was simple: the overwhelming joy of being together led to plenty of kissing, and we were just too excited.

Everyone would probably feel giddy when they get their first romantic partner. Himeno and I found ourselves in the same situation.

“We can’t sleep now; we have to get up.”

“Yeah.”

Although we started feeling drowsy with the morning sun and bird’s chirping leaking through the curtains, we decided not to sleep anymore. Missing the delicious breakfast at the inn was one reason, and since we came all the way to Hakone, we wanted to enjoy sightseeing during the day.

“Now we can finally have a real date, Taka-kun.”

Blushing, Himeno snuggled closer. It seemed she had the same thoughts.

“Now, let’s go on lots of dates.”

“Yes.”

Since we were on a trip, we could create wonderful memories together. I wrapped my arm around Himeno’s back and gave her a good morning kiss.

“Mm… Is it okay if we do more?”

It seemed a light kiss wasn’t enough for her. Even before officially becoming a couple, we had shared many kisses, so a simple one wasn’t satisfying.

“I can’t resist.”

When you become a couple, there’s less need to restrain yourself, and the need to control one’s instincts diminishes.

“I hope you won’t restrain yourself when it comes to me.”

She acknowledged that what she said was embarrassing but still hoped for me not to hold back.

“I can’t help it.”

Uttering these words, Himeno blushed and buried her face in my chest, as if trying to hide her embarrassment. She might have imagined something more than just a kiss; after all, it was only the second day of officially being a couple, and she was already thinking about the possibility of being embraced, especially if it meant we would get married in the future.

“I am Taka-kun’s girlfriend.”

Blushing and smiling shyly, Himeno looked truly adorable. Despite the embarrassment, I genuinely felt that confessing was the right thing to do.

Until recently, we had been consoling each other over our wounds, but being real lovers made each of her words and expressions of happiness feel entirely different.

“I’m confident I’ll become that wild beast eventually.”

There’s no boyfriend who can resist when his girlfriend tells him he doesn’t have to hold back. If anything, most would probably seize the opportunity rather than exercise restraint.

“It’s fine if it’s only when I’m around. But don’t do it with Hinata or Shikibe-san, okay? Mwah…”

Himeno, who peeked out from my chest, kissed my neck as if expressing her possessiveness. The sound of a kiss could be heard, leaving a visible mark.

(I never want to be apart.)

With a kiss mark on my neck, I couldn’t help feeling that way. While I don’t know how many high school couples end up getting married, I was confident that we would definitely tie the knot because I loved her so much.

“Since you have so many cute girls around you like Shikibei-san, Hinata, and Hinata-san, I can’t help but want to be possessive.”

Himeno, who moved away from my neck, still seemed to desire exclusivity.

“Don’t worry.”

Not long ago, Marika, whom I had a crush on, didn’t reciprocate my feelings. Miki disliked me, and Hinata was interested only for fun. The possibility of falling for someone else was nonexistent. Moreover, having someone who already loved me so much made the thought of being interested in someone else inconceivable.

“Didn’t you confess to Shikibe-san about a month ago?”

I couldn’t respond to that hit home. It was true that I got rejected and fell for someone else in just a month. To Himeno, that might be a cause for concern, but the fact that she still agreed to be with me meant she loved me desperately.

“It seems Taka-kun, you have a tendency to fall for the girls around you. That’s why I’ll always be close by.”

I was tightly embraced.

Certainly, there seemed to be a tendency to develop feelings for people close by during the early years of elementary school. Even if we exclude Kaori as my sister, Marika, as a childhood friend, was the person of the opposite sex closest to me until recently.

And now, every day, I’m with Himeno, who I’ve come to like.

“Let’s be together.”

“Yes. Mmm…”

We shared another kiss, savoring the sensation of Himeno from the early morning.
