By Zephyria It was strange that he hadn’t realized it until now. He’d had a hard time earlier with his anaconda refusing to die down. If he continued like this, he really wouldn’t live long.
It’s all because Koi is too cute.
Ashley blamed Koi this time. All of his intense desire was Koi’s fault. The inner voice immediately agreed.
That’s right, it’s Koi’s fault.
Yeah, Koi’s the one who’s being unreasonable. Making me masturbate for an hour without even touching my anaconda.
Again, there was unity within him. And in a small voice, the devil whispered.
So imprison him.
“Stop, stop.”
“Huh?”
Koi, who had been cautiously walking beside him, startled and looked up at Ashley’s sudden words. Oops. Flustered, Ashley looked down at him and smiled as gently as usual.
“I’ll give you back your uniform later… It’s a little… wet.”
He added reluctantly, and Koi, who had been staring blankly at him, nodded belatedly.
“Okay, it’s fine.”
It was in the shower room, so of course it would be wet.
Koi thought vaguely and brushed it off. He couldn’t imagine Ashley doing anything with the uniform. What was important now was that Ashley wasn’t feeling well. He looked like he was having trouble walking, his condition must be really bad.
We should get back so he can rest.
Koi thought, carefully watching his complexion. Meanwhile, Ashley’s mind was filled with all sorts of dirty thoughts.
Still unaware of his inner turmoil, Koi visibly relaxed when he saw the parked car. Ashley, who had casually tossed the two bags he was carrying onto the back seat, straightened up and said,
“Your bike is always there, right?”
“Huh? No, it’s okay!”
Koi hurriedly stopped him.
“Let’s just go today. No one’s going to take the bike.”
Getting Ashley to rest was more important. But Ashley, who was leaning against the Cayenne facing Koi, frowned and rested his chin on his arm.
“How are you going to get to school tomorrow? Walk?”
“Uh…”
Faced with an unexpected problem, Koi was momentarily speechless. Right, how would he get there? How long would it take to walk? He had walked to school before when his bike had problems, so it wasn’t impossible.
Then I’d have to get up 30 minutes, no, an hour earlier.
The thought of getting up early after so long already made him tense. Realizing this made him feel strange. People are creatures of habit, he’d already gotten used to the new bike.
The bike Ariel gave him was a much better product than his old one. So the performance was good, it took less time to get to school, and it was easier on his body.
Oh well, it’s just for one day.
Resigned, he looked up and met Ashley’s eyes, who was still leaning against the car watching him. Was he waiting for an answer? Koi recalled what Ashley had said earlier and said honestly,
“I can walk, I’ve done it a few times before.”
Ashley was silent for a moment at his determined expression. What was he thinking? He couldn’t even guess, so he just watched him, and Ashley sighed softly and gave a wry smile.
“In that case, Koi, you should ask your boyfriend to pick you up.”
“Ah…”
Koi made a dazed sound as he finally realized. Ashley smiled again, finding him cute.
“You’re going to walk that far? You’ll collapse as soon as you get to school.”
Why couldn’t he think of using his boyfriend who had a car?
Ashley knew the answer. It was because he was new to dating and wasn’t used to it. He thought that was the answer, but Koi’s next answer was different.
“But, you’re more important.”
Koi lowered his head and continued in a small voice to the taken-aback Ashley.
“I wanted you to rest sooner.”
Koi’s ears were flushed red in the streetlight. Ashley stared at him blankly for a moment.
How can Koi only say things that play with my heart like this?
He fell for Koi again. Every moment, he felt like he was falling deeper than before.
“Koi, if you keep doing that, I might really imprison you.”
Koi looked at him, bewildered by the words whispered with a sigh. Seeing this, Ashley gestured for him to get in the car, as if to say that was enough. Koi, belatedly embarrassed, hurriedly got into the passenger seat. Ashley, who readily got into the driver’s seat, started the engine and asked.
“Want to go get dinner? It’s late, but aren’t you hungry?”
“Uh, uh?”
Stammering at the unexpected suggestion, Koi hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking.
“Weren’t we going to your house…?”
“What?”
Ashley asked back this time. Ashley, who turned to look at Koi’s face, soon wore a mischievous expression.
“You want to go to my house? You’re so forward, Koi.”
“Huh?”
Koi blinked, not understanding what he meant at first, but belatedly realized the meaning and frantically shook his head.
“N-no, that’s not, that’s not what I meant!”
“My boyfriend is so horny.”
“That’s not what I meant!”
Koi’s voice rose in panic.
“I told you earlier, you’re tired…”
Ashley cut him off with a kiss before he could say more. Koi, who had his lips suddenly stolen and forgot what he was going to say next, just blinked, and Ashley, who raised his head, smiled.
“It’s probably not a good idea to go to my house today.”
Soon he explained why.
“If we’re alone together, I really feel like I’ll force myself on you.”
He would have taken it as a joke at any other time, but the atmosphere was definitely not like that today. Thinking about what happened in the shower room, it was plausible enough, and Koi hesitated for a moment.
If I tell Ash to go to his house now, that’s definitely what will happen next.
He wouldn’t be able to refuse this time. Ashley respected Koi’s wishes, but Koi couldn’t guarantee that he could refuse him repeatedly.
Above all, Koi knew that Ashley wanted him. Nevertheless, he was holding back. Until Koi was ready. Koi didn’t want to provoke him out of idle curiosity. Koi nodded obediently.
“Okay, I understand. Then let’s go anywhere. I’m fine with anything.”
Koi added, determined not to provoke him as much as possible.
“Let’s eat what you want to eat.”
…If you knew that was you, you wouldn’t be able to say that.
Ashley stared at Koi’s face intently. Did Koi learn mind reading? How can he only say things that shake my heart like this?
That was only natural. Ashley’s mind was full of thoughts of doing this and that with Koi. If Koi said that the sea rocks were beautiful, Ashley would imagine Koi lying naked there.
It’s a good thing Koi can’t smell.
The car was now filled with the scent of Ashley’s Pheromones. That’s how excited he was. Inevitably, Ashley headed to the restaurant Father had picked out. He had reserved the best table for a year and had never visited it once. Father did that wherever he thought his partner would like it, so there were many such places.
Even though he doesn’t actually know if I like it or not.
The selfish man also cared for his partner in his own way. If he decided that was the case, then that was the case. Ashley had also been misunderstood like that several times, so he could understand the other person’s feelings a little.
Maybe he’d be happy anywhere in the world as long as Father wasn’t there.
Ashley soon felt bitter after thinking that far.
Of course, there’s no such place in the world.
He had escaped from Father, but he would never escape until he died. Even in death, Father would not let him go.
The thought of Dominique Miller’s cold face made him feel unpleasant as he headed to the restaurant he had never visited before.

“Thank you so much today, Ash.”
Koi thanked Ashley as he parked the car on the street where he always dropped Koi off after dinner. Ashley grabbed him as he was about to get out of the passenger seat and asked with a frown.
“Can’t I really take you home? We’re dating.”
“Uh…”
His words were so reasonable, but Koi found it difficult to accept. Koi shook his head with a troubled expression.
“That’s, that’s not okay.”
Before, it was because he didn’t want to show his shabby house, but now another reason had been added. He didn’t know what would happen if Father, who had warned him not to meet Ashley, saw them. It was okay if he got hit, but he was afraid of Ashley getting hurt.
“I’m sorry, Ash. But I want to go alone.”
“Haa…”
Ashley couldn’t say anything more at the repeated rejections and just sighed instead. Seeing this, Koi hesitated and opened his mouth.
“Um, Ash. I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
He felt like he could grant him anything right now. Koi was asking for a ‘favor’ with his own mouth for the first time. Koi asked cautiously with a very nervous face to Ashley, who immediately perked up his ears.
“Um, us, dating…”
“Yeah.”
Koi swallowed hard once and barely managed to speak.
“For the time being, can we keep it a secret?”
