While Ms. Maple was drying her hair and taking care of her skin, I hid the gift I bought at the bedside.

"And what happened suddenly, Yoshiya?My birthday's a long way off.We just talked about not caring about our anniversary.... "

Kaede-san thinks with a jiotong face.I remember the Valentine's Day and the side I give it to, but I don't think it will be a bump as soon as it becomes the side I receive it.Well, maybe it's okay because it's an unintentional surprise.

"Hey, Maple-san.What day is it today?

"Eh? Today?The date has changed so March 14th... eh!?Could it be! "

"Yeah, that's right. Looks like you finally noticed.It's White Day. I chose it with gratitude to Mr. Maple.Can you take it?

I desperately suppressed my trembling voice and handed the parcel to Maple-san, worried that I would not hear the sound of a high heart leak.

Mr. Maple took it, but somehow he leaned down and didn't say a word.Silence flows in silent nights.I'm nervous and my heart is about to pop out of my mouth.This tension is the same as when I confessed under the starry sky.

"Yoshiya... can I open it?

After a while, Mr. Maple asked me to squeeze out his voice, so I nodded silently.It would be nice if the silence that seemed to last forever ended, but the next thing I visited was the difficulty of watching the opening.

Though it would be nice to tear it off, Mr. Maple loosens the packaging carefully and carefully.I'm thirsty. Even the sound of swallowing your mouth and spit is loud.

Finally, Mr. Maple finished packing.I opened the box of light pink cubes that appeared from there with trembling hands.

"Is this... a watch...?And the cat... is cute. "

"I think Mr. Maple looks good because she has something like a kitten.Besides, I don't see you wearing a watch, so it's just fine. "

Sometimes it's sweet like a kitten, sometimes it's as glorious as a female leopard, so I thought it was perfect.The pink gold color is not only cute, but also has a glossy appearance that creates an adult atmosphere.It should flourish on Maple's white magnetic skin.

"I've been thinking about necklaces and chokers in addition to watches... and watches can be worn regardless of school, right?That's why... you're always with me... and Kaede-san is my girlfriend. "

I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

I wonder if you would feel me if you always wore a watch, or if I would be happy to see Mr. Maple wearing the watch I gave you every day.However, Mr. Maple answered nothing and gently took the watch out of the box and stared at it.

"Kaede-san...?Well, how about that?Do you like it?

I'm worried if you don't say anything.After all, it would have been better if I had a necklace or a bangle.I thought the colors would suit me, but didn't you like pink gold?No, I can't stop regretting it when I figure it out.Ah, I'm going to cry.

"Eh? Yoshiya?Why are you crying like that?

"... because Kaede-san didn't say anything to me, so I was wondering if you liked it..."

"Why do you say that?I apologize for not saying anything, but I couldn't say it because Yoshiya was happy with your thoughtful gift. "

I looked up at the words.Ms. Maple's cheeks were red and her expression was a smile, but her eyes still had a light that was about to fall off.

"You chose it for me, didn't you?I'm very happy with that feeling alone.And, as Yoshiya said, you can feel Yoshiya right next to you just by wearing this.Fufu. I think it's a nice idea.Yoshiya, sometimes you're romantic. "

Mr. Maple smiled nicely, adding that the confession was also under the starry sky.

"Hey, Yoshiya.Could you put on your watch, please?I want you to wear it first, not yourself. "

That's why Kaede-san gave me his watch and gave me his left hand.I was embarrassed to feel like putting on a ring at a wedding, but I couldn't refuse to be looked at by Maple's expectations.Okay, let's think of it as pre-production practice.

Grab Maple-san's hand and gently pass the watch around to stop the hardware.I was worried about the size and the feeling was perfect.

"Thank you very much. Fufu.This cat's face is cute.The colour is also cute and I really liked it.Thank you very much, Yoshiya. "

"I'd be happy if Maple-san was happy.I was wondering what I'd do if you didn't like it. "

"No more! What makes you think I don't like the gift you chose so hard!?I'm happy and I want to jump, but I'm patient!

It was worth going to Taka-san's house to talk to him or talk to the clerk about Maple and get advice.

"... I'm thrilled to see Yoshiya's happy face.Hey, can I kiss you?That's what I mean. "

I was kissed with Maple's arms around my neck to attract me.Naturally, Maple-san's tongue came into my mouth from a pecking mouth and was entangled.I want to sink to a deep kiss with a chirping sound.

"Haah... fufu.I love you, Yoshiya.More than anyone, you. "

"Kaede-san... I love you too."

"Fufu, Yoshiya, you look so melted.Did it feel so good?

"... ah, ahh.It felt so good.... "

It's only natural that Maple-san's sweet honey-like saliva and mochi-like soft tongue should melt while tasting each other at the same time.

"Me too. You're kind of starting to get addicted to this.But it's not good to do it before going to bed.I can't sleep because I'm so excited. "

"... that's right.Shall I stop before I go to bed? "

I wonder when I would do it, but I didn't say it.Such a kiss would melt before you go to bed every night.I mean, it doesn't have to be before bed.

"But more importantly, the future.Yoshiya, I have to prepare you so that you can become a wolf. "

"... hey, Maple-san?What are you talking about? I wonder... "

"This is it.It's settled, right?Con-d... "

"Let meeeeee!!!

I scream in the bedroom in the middle of the night.

I'm also a healthy high school boy.It's not that I don't have that desire.I have no intention of saying such noble things as not staying until I get married.However, I think it is because I love and cherish Mr. Maple that I have to put on a kejime.

"Already. How much do you care about me... I'm so happy."

"Isn't this obvious?Look, it's getting late, so I'm going to bed.Get in the futon. "

Lead Ms. Maple into the futon to her usual posture.Put your loved one in your chest and fall asleep feeling the warmth.

Kejime. It's a passing ritual where every man greets his stepfather as he passes.For the first time after this, I can deepen my friendship with Mr. Maple within the scope of good sense.

We must work harder to do so.I closed my eyelids with renewed determination.
