“…You’re handsome.”
As I woke up, the first thing I saw was the Commander’s face. His expression showed some signs of fatigue, probably because he had been working hard until sunrise.
We really had been… going non-stop until morning.
I could definitely understand why he looked tired.
I was lying down and could feel a dull ache in my back.
“Ugh…”
I wondered just how long we had actually gone at it yesterday. By the time I opened my eyes, the sun was already high and it was past lunchtime.
Of course, just because I woke up a bit later doesn’t mean I slept in too much. It was maybe just before 2 PM.
“How did it end up like this…”
I said this while adjusting the Commander’s disheveled hair. It felt a bit strange. Maybe it was because he was so good-looking, but just running my fingers through his hair felt different. It felt even nicer than when I tie my own hair up.
His hair wasn’t very long, but it was somehow amusing.
“After all that last night, you’re sleeping so peacefully now.”
The Commander was truly sleeping. I could tell that much now. After all, my arms were draped over him and it was a comfortable kind of closeness. He must have been hugging me while dreaming or when he fell asleep.
I decided to stay like that for a while, leaning against the Commander’s upper body. I didn’t want to wake him up, and honestly, it was fun just admiring his face.
“…Thank goodness it’s safe.”
That random thought popped into my head. I reflected on what happened yesterday and felt an unusual sensation in my lower body.
“…I never thought we would just go for it without a condom.”
Sure, there had been one, but I told the Commander to throw it away. Now that I think about it… maybe I shouldn’t have?
Of course, I’m not entirely sure. It was a safe day, after all, and there was no need to use those uncomfortable rubber pieces…
Well.
In conclusion, it felt good. I just decided to roll with it. But I couldn’t help thinking it would be better to use a condom next time.
I mean…
“…It feels so gross.”
My groin felt too uncomfortable, and the rest of me was honestly a bit off as well. I didn’t want to be in front of the Commander looking all dirty.
“Lin…dera…”
“Are you awake?”
“…Yeah.”
As I played with the Commander’s hair, feeling that slight discomfort, he finally woke up. Was I playing with it too much?
“…You look pretty in the morning too.”
“What… does that even mean?”
“…I mean, seeing you like this when I wake up makes me happy.”
“……..”
It was kind of embarrassing to say such strange things first thing in the morning… especially with no one else around. It felt like nothing compared to what we had done last night.
“Lin-Dera, let’s take a shower together after lying down for a little longer… okay?”
“…Yes.”
“Then… I want to sleep a little longer…”
The Commander said this while using my chest as a pillow. He had sweated a lot yesterday and, honestly, was probably a bit dirty with saliva and other stuff…
Thank goodness he had just woken up, so it seemed he didn’t mind much.
Thus, the Commander cuddled against me, and I held him gently. I was afraid if I hugged too tightly, I might end up complaining about the smell.
Something about this felt… exciting.

-Swooosh…
“Hah… touching like this doesn’t quite feel like washing.”
“…What can I do? It’s hard to touch this without thinking about it.”
“That’s… true.”
Still, the Commander and I had entered the bathroom to shower together. We hadn’t done this before, but now it was no big deal.
He was the one who suggested we shower in the first place.
“But… this feels too… naughty. Washing with soap… hah…”
“Washing with soap?”
“This doesn’t feel like just washing…”
He was definitely being a pervert. The Commander, who had always liked my chest, now just took the chance to touch it without hesitation.
How had he held back until now? I was honestly curious.
His reactions were so different from before.
“…Pervert.”
“Sorry.”
“…Liking to focus on my chest like this is nice, but shouldn’t we wash properly now?”
“…Just a little longer…”
“……..”
Whispering in my ear was a bit unfair, I thought. He wasn’t just casually speaking; he sounded like he was pleading…
“…Just a little longer.”
It was hard to refuse him easily.
Anyway… we showered together suitably.
It felt a little naughty, but whatever!
I pushed aside the thoughts from last night, well, mostly the Commander’s hands…
Anyway…
“…Waking up like this is just too naughty.”
“You liked it too.”
“……….”
I had no arguments left.
Yeah.
The fact that I couldn’t easily brush off the Commander’s request for just a little more of that made it clear I was weak against him.
Was I weaker than I thought?
“…Just don’t overdo it in the tub. For now, at least.”
“Okay.”
“………”
We both got into the tub, even though it was big enough for three or four people, we decided to overlap our bodies.
The Commander laid back against the wall, and I cuddled into his arms.
“…You’ve got more muscles than I expected.”
“I think I said that yesterday.”
“…Yeah. I never thought someone who worked all the time like you would have this much muscle.”
As I poked at his chest muscles, I continued chatting like nothing was out of the ordinary.
“…When we go back, maybe you should exercise a bit more on your own, Commander.”
“Just me?”
“…I’m too tired for that. I’ll just cheer you on from the side.”
I was self-aware enough to say that.
I couldn’t say I would be actively working out when last time I almost faceplanted on a treadmill.
I’d much rather just sit and clap.
“…Cheerleader?”
“…Do you have that kind of preference?”
I couldn’t help but ask seriously.
In that cosplay context…
Of course, I could tell he liked games and had some interest in those things…
“…Pervert.”
“No, I just meant I’d be cheering you on…”
“But it was still pervy. Just a minute ago.”
Well, it was true he was a bit of a pervert, so he probably didn’t think much of my words.
If he wasn’t a pervert, when I suggested he should touch appropriately, he would have just touched a little, not gone all out.
“…Pervert.”
“…I won’t argue too much.”
“The lighter your tone, the less perverted you seem.”
“…Should I speak in my old manner, then?”
“That would feel a bit old-fashioned, to be honest. I think it’s better not to use it… at least not with me.”
It wasn’t just “at least.”
I really wanted him to talk to me as comfortably as he did now.
Just as I treated the Commander casually, I wanted him to do the same for me.
“Then… we’ll just talk like this.”
“Sure.”
“…Are we dating?”
“…Huh?”
Why was he bringing that up all of a sudden?
We had just had sex and exchanged all those embarrassing words.
We’d even talked about liking each other before… so why was he questioning if we were dating? I didn’t get it.
“What do you mean?”
“Just… it feels surreal.”
“…?”
What felt surreal?
Waking up together after a night of sex? Or the fact we were in a bathtub now having this conversation?
“…Actually, I think I’ve liked you for a while. I didn’t expect it to go this far.”
“…Oh.”
For a moment, I understood.
It was just one of those shy boys out of nowhere confessing their feelings and then questioning if it was real the next day.
The Commander, despite looking so cool, was one of those clueless guys when it came to relationships.
So, this was just one of those moments.
“…We are dating.”
“…Sounds nice.”
“To be precise… it’s you who…
I pressed my body flush against him.
With my chest or my belly pressed against his upper body.
And I faced him directly…
“Now that I belong to you… I mean… I…”
“………”
“When I say you belong to me.”
I confessed those embarrassingly intimate words.
Though it wasn’t just talk; it was real… like… something serious now.
“…I’m not accepting returns or exchanges now.”
“That’s good for me. I mean, you’re saying you’re going to be with me.”
“………”
“Since I have such a lovely girlfriend now, I’m obviously happy.”
“…Please don’t say that while looking at my chest.”
“Oh.”
…We were too close for comfort.
This wasn’t just physical distance; it was something deeper.
“Um…”
“?”
“Commander, we’ve soaked for a bit now…”
There was something I inexplicably felt all this time.
It wasn’t just during the shower… there had been a warm feeling since a little before that.
It was too hot, rigid, and unyielding way down there.
Honestly, I couldn’t help but notice…
“…Shouldn’t we loosen that up a little before we leave?”
It was bound to be uncomfortable when I put on my pants and underwear afterward too.
So…
“…With my chest?”
“…Really?”
“Just kidding.”
I found his reactions amusing and adorable.
Of course, I planned to offer my chest, but not now… maybe later or another time.
“For now… how about three little touches… that might help relieve this arousal of yours, Commander?”
“…Is it good to finish off like this in front of your girlfriend?”
“If it’s not good, then what is?”
I was confident because such an attractive person… might not be the only thing here, but I had skills too.
I wasn’t worried at all.
Besides, the incident from last night had been dealt with, even if it had been with the Commander’s own hands.
Naturally, my parents would probably handle things… but?
