Class B

V1: Chapter 10

"I think we got a little too carried away Ayanokouji-kun..." Ichinose said, looking around the flour-filled kitchen.

"Nothing a good clean can't fix right?" I replied, lifting up the sleeves from my jumper and grabbing some cleaning essentials.

"It'll take us a while, but it is our fault anyways, right?" She followed suit and also grabbed some cleaning items.

We began to clean which did take a few hours since it was a complete state. Once we finished, it was sparkling clean as if it was newly bought.

She wiped her forehead dramatically and sighed loudly, "Finally~, We're finished~!" She exclaimed, sitting on a chair 'out of breath'. She took out her phone and as it turned on her eyes widened, "10 PM?!" She whisper shouted, getting her stuff together, ready to run and sneak through the halls to make sure she doesn't get caught.

"You could just stay here," I said, causing her face to slightly flush red, "I don't mean like that. I mean, if you get caught we'll probably lose class points or something, why not spend the night? I have clothes you can wear." I said, taking off my jumper leaving me in a black shirt.

"If you don't mind..." She responded. I went to my bedroom, and got my biggest size shirt, a pair of new boxers, and a spare toothbrush "You can have a shower and then wear these." I said, placing them neatly on a chair. I believe any of my trousers/joggers would be far too large for her so I didn't bother.

Whilst scrolling through the school forum, I heard a small voice coming from my bathroom, "Uhm... Ayanokouji-kun, could you get me a towel please?" She asked, shyly. I knew I had forgotten about something. I quickly grabbed a spare towel from a drawer and knocked on the door. A small hand appeared in the crack of it and hastily grabbed the towel, "Thank you!" She exclaimed before shutting the door quickly.

I grabbed my own towel and prepared myself for a shower, waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. Once she did, I looked up and was met with an outstanding cuteness that practically blinded me. I never know this was something I needed to see. Ichinose Honami stood awkwardly in my clothes with her hair up in a high ponytail. As I was already on my phone, I snapped a quick picture of her secretly and walked passed her into the bathroom.

Once I had finished, I came out to see her scrolling on her phone whilst sitting on my bed. My hair was dripping wet and I had my towel wrapped around my waist.

She glanced up and immediately dropped her phone, her jaw hitting the ground.

"Sorry, I forgot to grab my clothes," I said, walking towards the wardrobe on the left of the room, taking a pair of sleepwear. I ran my hand through my hair and looked over at Ichinose who was sitting in shock, a slight blush appearing on her face.

I went back to the bathroom and put on my clothes, ready to get into bed.

"I'll sleep on the couch." She said, mid-way through getting up.

"I don't see the point when my bed is right here." I replied, laying down and tapping the spot next to me, causing her face to bloom red, "I'm not going to do anything, I just don't want you to sleep uncomfortably, myself also."

She took a few breaths and complied with what I said, turning off the light and then laying beside me. Coincidentally, we both turned to face each other.

"Hello there."

"Hiya."

Our noses were practically touching.

"Are you comfortable?"

"Mhmm."

I'm happy that she is. Hm? I'm happy? I suppose I am.

"Say, Ichinose, have you ever been in love?" This question has been dawning on me for quite some time.

"Hm. I suppose you could say I am in love, Ayanokouji-kun."

She's in love? With whom?

"Who might you be in love with Ichinose?"

"I'm sure you'll find out soon, why the sudden questions?" She asked.

"I'd say... It's because I've never understood or felt the conception of love."

"You've never felt love?"

"I'm not sure."

It went silent for a brief moment before she managed to come up with something that even I was shocked to hear.

"Then how about this Ayanokouji-kun, let me help you feel love."

Let her help me? I'm sure that I already feel something when I'm with her, would she help me deepen what I'm feeling?

"How so?" I asked.

"Let's go out Ayanokouji-kun. I'll show you what love is, I'll help you find the meaning." She's willing to help me figure this out?

"Then I suppose starting from now, I'll play the part of your boyfriend, Honami." I rested my forehead with hers, without seeing her face, I could already tell that it was beaming a hard shade of red.

"Then I suppose, starting from now," She mimicked my words, "I'll be playing the part of your girlfriend, K-Kiyotaka-kun."
