LMI 86

“Uh, unh, unh.”

Small sounds leaked from his tightly closed lips. Ashley, with one arm around Koi’s waist, grabbed one of the clenched fists resting on his chest and pulled it behind his neck. After awkwardly looping his arm around his neck, he pulled the other hand as well, and this time Koi moved on his own to wrap his arms around Ashley’s neck. Ashley smiled against his lips.

Koi learns quickly, as expected.

Ashley thought, but he still showed no sign of opening his mouth. He licked and gently nibbled his soft lips repeatedly, but his lips remained firmly closed, like an impregnable fortress.

Is he still scared?

Ashley couldn’t remember what his first kiss had been like at all. How can I open these lips? As he pondered, he was about to kiss him again when Koi suddenly pulled his head back.

“Um.”

Ashley frowned at the loss of contact, and Koi hesitated, looking apologetic.

“I think… we’ve been doing this for too long… Shouldn’t we hurry up and shower and go back? I think they’ll be coming to close up soon…”

He had locked the locker room door when they came in, but if they were caught by security, this sweet atmosphere would be hard to maintain. Koi was right, but Ashley wasn’t happy about it. His head was filled with nothing but kissing Koi, but Koi seemed to be thinking about everything else. The way he glanced at the door and looked around made him feel strangely annoyed, so Ashley released his waist and instead lowered his hands.

“Eep, eeeeek!”

Koi yelped in surprise when Ashley grabbed both of his buttocks, which were covered only by his shorts under his skirt. Ashley felt a little better at that reaction. Koi reflexively unwrapped his arms from around his neck and instead brought his hands to his buttocks, but Ashley’s large hands were already there. Koi turned pale and desperately tried to pull his hands away, but of course, they didn’t budge. Instead, Ashley playfully squeezed his buttocks.

“Your butt is small, Koi.”

But the feel was quite nice. The size fit perfectly in his large hands, and the soft flesh made it as sweet as a kiss. More than anything, it wasn’t as stubborn as his lips. Koi panicked at Ashley’s hands, which were fondling him to his heart’s content. Eventually, he grabbed Ashley’s hands and shouted.

“P-pervert! This is what perverts do!”

“I’m your boyfriend, though?”

Ashley squeezed the buttocks he was holding as if to punish him. Koi screamed again. Just as he was thinking that his voice sounded like a moan, Koi hurriedly added.

“So, boyfriends shouldn’t do this.”

Ashley frowned and looked down at him.

“Why not?”

This time, he wasn’t teasing, he was genuinely serious. Why shouldn’t a boyfriend be able to touch his partner’s body? This was a serious situation. Koi also realized his mistake and stammered, unable to answer for a moment.

“T-that’s, that’s…”

Ashley stared at him sternly, his brow furrowed. Koi felt more and more cornered. After muttering “Um, um” several times, Koi finally answered.

“W-we have to shower, so boyfriends, shouldn’t get in the way.”

“Ah…”

Ashley exclaimed as if he finally understood. Had he gotten through to him? Koi looked up at him, his face brightening, and Ashley smiled. Just as Koi relaxed and smiled back, Ashley said.

“Then let’s shower together.”

“Huh?”

Koi blinked, confused. Wasn’t that what they came here to do?

“Because we’re boyfriends, right?”

Ashley asked again, as if to confirm. He had been tricked earlier, but this time he was sure. He was suggesting they go into the shower together. Thinking that, Koi soon nodded.

“Ah, yes. Okay.”

He answered, still holding Ashley’s hand.

“Let’s shower together.”

“Okay.”

Ashley also answered, then lowered his head and lightly kissed Koi’s lips. This time, Koi pouted his lips and reacted with good timing. Ashley lifted his head again and smiled, and Koi smiled back. But the very next moment, Ashley squeezed his buttocks, and Koi screamed again.

“Ash!”

Koi called his name and bristled, and only then did Ashley let go. But even so, Koi desperately grabbed his bare buttocks to defend them from his naughty hand, which stroked them until the very end. He had been tricked so many times after letting his guard down for just a moment. Looking down at Koi, who was glaring at him with all his might, Ashley thought.

You’re defenseless in the front, Koi.

He could easily target his cute chest or below, but he decided to back off for now. Koi’s head was sure to be bursting with just what he had learned so far. Instead, Ashley extended a hand in reconciliation.

“I won’t tease you anymore, Koi. Let’s really go shower.”

Koi only glanced at the outstretched hand, not trying to take it. Ashley frowned and asked.

“Don’t you trust your boyfriend?”

How magical was the word “boyfriend”? As Ashley wore a disappointed expression and uttered the word, the wariness in Koi’s eyes soon faded.

“I do…”

Koi mumbled softly, lowering his head and looking at the hand still extended to him. One of the two hands that had been guarding his buttocks until then hesitated and came forward, grabbing his hand. Unable to resist, Ashley pulled the clasped hands, pulling Koi into his arms.

“You’re cute, Koi.”

“Uh, okay.”

Koi replied, not knowing what he meant. Ashley genuinely wanted to devour him. He resisted the tingling in his head and instead put his arm around Koi’s shoulder and headed for the shower room.

“Ah.”

Koi suddenly stopped just as he was about to enter. Ashley looked down at him, and Koi looked up, flustered, and said.

“My bag, with my clothes and everything… it’s in the Cheerleading Team locker room.”

“Is that so?”

Ashley readily solved the problem.

“I’ll go get it, will you be in front of the door?”

“Huh? Uh… maybe?”

If the kids hadn’t cleaned up, it would still be there. At his vague answer, Ashley replied clearly.

“Go shower first, there’s shampoo and soap over there.”

Ashley opened the shower room door and pointed with his finger, then released Koi and left the locker room.

Left alone, a sudden silence fell. Koi felt scared for some reason and looked around, tense. Of course, no one was there.

It’s better this way.

Koi thought, cautiously starting to undress. How embarrassing would it have been to undress in front of Ashley?

Ash must have been considerate of me.

Thinking that, he was newly grateful for Ashley’s thoughtfulness.

Maybe he’s just that experienced…

The hand that was about to take off his shorts paused. How many girlfriends had Ashley had? He didn’t know for sure, but it would probably be faster to count the days he hadn’t. He also seemed very skilled at kissing, and unlike Koi, who was flustered by everything, Ashley was so relaxed.

Which means…

Koi shook his head hastily, having thought that far.

It’s not manly to dwell on the past.

Koi decided to ignore it and move on quite boldly. The important thing was now, and now Koi was his boyfriend.

Boyfriend.It was truly a magical word. Every time he thought of it, his chest swelled and his heart melted. Did Ash feel the same way? Feeling his face flush, Koi neatly folded his discarded clothes on the bench and headed for the showers.

The shower room was partitioned, but each space was quite large. Considering the size of the ice hockey team guys, this was probably to be expected. Koi was impressed by the interior, which was several times larger and nicer than the shower in his Motorhome.

After all, the ice hockey team was the symbol of the school itself.

He had heard that they spared no expense in supporting them in various ways, and the locker room facilities were also quite good. He never thought he’d ever get to see the inside, but here he was, even taking a shower. It felt strangely good.

Koi carefully tiptoed around the shower room, choosing one of the stalls and stepping inside. The only thing separating the spaces was the partitions on either side. Koi barely reached half the height of the partition, but for most of the ice hockey team guys, who were over six foot three, it would only come up to their chests.

Everything was so high and huge, making him feel like a dwarf in a land of giants. Koi turned on the shower. Cold water came out first, and he quickly jumped back, trying to turn on the hot water. Just then, he heard a voice from outside.

“Koi, I’m back.”

“Ah, okay.”

Ashley, who had deliberately announced his return in a loud voice, soon fell silent. He was probably getting ready to take off his clothes and come in. Koi stuck close to the wall, trying hard to turn on the hot water, but the faucet wouldn’t budge.

Was it broken?

Should he move to another stall? He hesitated for a moment, but then the shower room door burst open. Ashley had come in. Koi panicked and immediately cowered. He didn’t have the courage to walk around casually in front of him.

He’d move once Ash went into another stall.

Just as he made up his mind, Ashley suddenly appeared in front of him.
