Marriage Lovers
Well, the basic idea was taken from manga/anime 'More than marriage couple, but less than lovers'
Some readers might be familiar with this manga/anime. In short, the school made a rule that students in their third year, if I remember correctly, have to sign up for this program mandatorily. They then will be paired to become a couple (must be a boy and a girl pair) and undergo the program of living together in an apartment provided by school like a married couple.
Thanks to @ReySim (ao3 friend) who helped with brainstorming ideas that the fanfic is finished safely. 😆
Thank you, Bestie.

Now, I hope you enjoy this.
Happy reading!!!
“I finally arrived here.” A girl is looking at a school building from the entrance gate. Her eyes are full of hope and determination. “Yosh! I have a feeling that he will be here.” She pumped herself up. Soon, she will meet with her first love. The boy whom she met a long time ago. A kind boy who gave her his pudding because she was crying. It was the sweetest pudding she ever had.
“We are getting new students today. I heard it’s a girl!!!” The whole class is becoming noisy, while Satoru is napping on his desk. Head slumps on his hands which are on the table. I, his desk mate who sit beside him are patting his soft hair.
“New student…” Yae sighed.
“What’s wrong?” I blinked at my friend.
“No, it’s just after the implementation of new rules, our school is sure becoming more popular.” Her mouth twitched.
“Ah, that marriage program, right?” I ‘aahh’ed in understanding.
“Yep.” Yae nodded. “A program that was made to teach students how marriage will be. Seems like due to the high rate of divorce lately. Couples, especially young couples don’t truly understand that marriage is a partnership in everything. So, they clashed and divorced.” Yae said.
“Well, this program is supported by the government. They think education in this field is very important, and thus the program is implemented. Our school is the first to implement this program. No wonder a lot of students are signing up this year.” I giggled. “This is a chance for them to meet with maybe their true love.”
“Not to mention, if you can complete the marriage program with the highest score, you will be given a full scholarship and a letter of recommendation to any university of your choice. It’s pretty high in return.” Yae said.
“Though the couple will be selected randomly, it’s not like we can’t choose our own partner.” I smiled. “If we have the legal document signed by party A and party B and their legal guardians. It’s possible to be partnered up with each other.”
“Yeah, usually wealthy kids with prior engagements will be using this as a trial for their upcoming marriage.” Yae nodded.
“By the way, Suguru applied for you and him. Congrats.” I smiled.
“…What?” Yae blinked at the news. It was new to her.
“Oh, you haven’t heard?” I smiled in amusement.
“No…” Yae turned to Suguru who was sitting beside her.
“Let’s do our best, love,” Suguru smirked.
“…Rai-chan…how about you and Satoru?”
“Rai-chan, don’t stop…” Satoru whined.
“My hand is tired.” I pouted.
“I guess I shouldn’t ask. It’s already obvious.” Yae sweatdropped.
“My name is Mayami Hinako. Nice to meet you all.” The new student bowed. After the usual 20 questions, the new student was finally allowed to sit. But I sense she is secretly glancing at Satoru.
‘Hmmm… I wonder why…’
Today is the start of the new school year. The Sakura trees are in full bloom and the weather is quite chilly. I am drowned in Satoru’s blazer. I like having long sweater paws, and Satoru likes to see me drowned in his oversized clothes. It’s a win-win situation.
Today is also when the newly implemented program, which is officially named Marriage Lesson program will start. Our homeroom teacher will announce the selected pairings. We are required to stay in an apartment owned by the government. ~”~
“Heeee~ They gave us a separate bedroom.” Satoru raised an eyebrow. The apartment is a very simple but luxurious 3-room apartment. Kitchen with connected living room, a bathroom and 2 bedrooms. “We only need one bedroom, right, Rai-chan.” Satoru grinned as he put our luggage in one bedroom and began to unpack. The bed is big enough for the two of us, so there will be no problem. Whereas I inspect all the rooms first, trying to see if there’s a problem or not. After making sure the stove, water and the house facilities are functioning normally, I go back to our shared bedroom and see Satoru has finished unpacking.
“We need to stock groceries.”
“Okay, let’s go.” Satoru got up and fixed his blazer on me again. “Rai-chan, you make me want to just manhandle you.” Satoru leaned his weight on me, squashing my already small stature.
“Let’s go. I want to come back before dark.” I flailed my sweater paws and pouted.
“Too cute!!!” Satoru rubbed his cheek on me. The moment the door was opened, we also saw our neighbour getting ready to go out.
“Groceries.” Suguru and Satoru said in unison and laughed. In the end, the four of us are going to get groceries together. We buy a week's worth of groceries. No worries about the money, we were given fixed money every month to be managed. We have to submit each of our purchases to school by the end of the month.
Arriving at the supermarket, Yae and I, arm in arm begin to hunt for cheaper but decent-quality ingredients while having the boys handle the trolleys. They should make themselves useful.
“That will be 12.000 yen.”
“Here it is.” I gave her two ten thousand bills.
“Here is the change. Thank you very much.” ~”~
“Too bad Shoko and Nanamin didn’t apply.” Satoru sighed.
“…Nanamin would rather spend time by himself…” Suguru sweatdropped. “Shoko also would rather spend her time dissecting.”
“Besides, Shoko and Nanamin are in different schools from us. Shoko’s school is strong in medical academics. It’s her shortcut to her first choice of university. Nanamin is the same, his school is strong in business.” Yae said.
“Will it be alright to have a doctor who likes to dissect people? She won’t be called a modern mad scientist, right?”
“She won’t. Shoko will be fine.” I rolled my eyes.
“Ah…” Our attention shifted to another person who came down from stairs. “G-good afternoon…” She bowed.
“Good afternoon.” We replied to her greeting and waited for her to fully come down before we could go upstairs. But the thing is, the girl doesn’t budge. She keeps staring at Satoru while seemingly deep in thought.
“Are you going to come down? Because we need to use the stairs.” I frowned. My mood worsened by her staring.
“A-ah, I am sorry, I didn’t mean to trouble you.” She quickly came down. “Please…”
The rest of us are going up back to our apartment. I sneak a glance at the new transfer student and sure enough, she is staring at Satoru. ~”~
“Satoru.” I puffed my cheek at the taller male who was making dinner. He is wearing a cute pink frilly love apron because it made him cuter, he said.
“What’s wrong, love?” Satoru chuckled as he poured the beaten egg into the frying pan. We are having a simple omurice today.
“She is staring at you.” I fumed.
“…who?” He blinked.
“That girl. The new girl. She has been staring at you since morning.”
“Ah? Really? I didn’t notice at all. I prefer if you were staring though.” He grinned and flipped the egg mixture.
“She smells trouble. I don’t like she is staring at you.” I crossed my arms and cocked my head to the side. Now, wearing my supposed sleepwear, shorts with Satoru’s black long-sleeved sweater. The sweater drops into mid-thigh, drowning the shorts.
“I also don’t like being stared at, except from you.” Satoru nodded.
“You need to coax me better.”
“How about I coax you into bed later.” He whispered.
I shiver at the tone he used, “!!! This pervert.” I grumbled, blushing while Satoru cackled.
“Cuddle me later.” I stomped to the sofa and turned the TV on.
“Will do, love.” As promised, I have a cuddling session after dinner. Satoru’s hand rests on my bare stomach as I sit on his lap, watching TV. “Have your mood gotten better, love?” He hummed.
“Yeah, a little…” I mumbled as I began to doze off.
“Shall we go to bed now?”
“Hmm… please…” I mumbled sleepily.
“Aren’t you precious, love.” In my haziness, I hear his cooing and I snuggled closer to him. ~”~
The next time I open my eyes, a nice smelling aroma waft to my nose. The right side of my bed is empty, meaning, the occupant is not there anymore. “Satoru…” I walked to the living room/kitchen to find him donning the apron and making breakfast and our lunch.
“The breakfast will be done soon, Rai-chan. You should wash up first.” But I ignored his words and wrapped my sweater paws around his torso from behind.
“Cold…” I mumbled.
“Sorry, love.” Satoru turned around and hugged me back. “I will be done soon.”
“…okay… brush my hair later.” I reluctantly released my hold on him.
“Of course.” I go to the bathroom to wash up and change into my uniform and at the same time prepare our school bags. When I came back to the living room, the breakfast is done and the lunches had been packed and wrapped in nice blue wrapping clothes.
After breakfast, Satoru is brushing my hair while I enjoy it while dozing off. “It’s finished, Rai-chan. We should go to school now.”
“…’mkay.” I nodded.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning, Yae, Suguru.” I yawned.
“Still sleepy? You really are not a morning person.” Suguru laughed. My body shivers from the cold.
“Here, Rai-chan, wear this.” Satoru changed my blazer to much bigger of his, allowing me to savour some warmth it offered.
“Good morning!” We were greeted by the transfer student, energetically in the morning.
“…m’ning.” I slurred. Satoru’s blazer is making me all sleepy again.
“Tsk.” Then we heard an unhappy click of tongue from her supposed partner.
“Well, I guess we won’t be bothering you and your partner. Please excuse us.” Suguru said politely, but he is clearly mocking them.
“Let’s go, Rai-chan.” Satoru guided me with his hand and I just blindly followed him to the school.
“…What’s wrong, Yae?” Suguru asked his quiet partner.
“…No, must be my mistake…” Yae shook her head. ~”~
‘It’s him… It must be him… my first love!!!!’ Mayami Hinako screamed internally. She must not be wrong, the white hair and blue eyes. She has never once forgotten what he looks like. She finally met him! Her first love!!!
Mayami Hinako squeals excitedly, but her excitement quiets down when she finds out that her first love is already in a relationship with another girl. ‘No…no…’ She shook her head. That girl must be only his partner in this Marriage Lesson program and they do all the lovey-dovey stuff just to get more points. ‘Yes, that must be it!’ She nodded to herself.
“But… they are really good…” She mumbled. There’s no unnatural movement from their interaction. It’s as if they truly love each other. “No… I can’t give up now. Even if he already has a girlfriend. I should have at least told him that he is my first love…who knows…” Her imagination is going wild. “Kyaaa!!!!” She screamed by herself.
“Shut up, woman.” Her partner rolled his eyes in distaste. “Don’t forget, we will need to reach the top ten to be able to exchange partners.”
“I am not forgetting anything. Don’t worry.” She huffed. When she was partnered up with him, she was pretty disappointed. Her partner doesn’t have the best personality, but when they talked about their goals, they decided to become accomplices. She was aiming for a full scholarship at first, so she doesn’t care who her partner is. But meeting her first love was a bonus. Now, she can get her scholarship and maybe a future boyfriend. She is really glad that she signed up for this program.
Her partner, Yanagizawa Hibiki, was aiming to be Hisaki Raika’s partner. Apparently, he has been in love with her since forever. Mayami Hinako sympathizes with his situation. Much like her, she also hoped to be her first love’s partner. So, they agreed to help each other. As long as they can get enough points to be ranked on top, they can request partner exchange. But the problem is how to get consent from the said pair. Well, let’s think that for later, for now, they should focus on collecting points. ~”~
“Today we are having the surprise test. I hope you guys were studying last night.” Our homeroom teacher grinned. Loud groans and protests soon fill the class. “Well, it’s already included in the rule that school can spring up this surprise test.” He laughed.
The test was not that hard, since we are just beginning to study the new curriculum. The test consists of mostly the previous year’s meaning, the second year’s curriculum. As long as we don’t do that badly, we won’t get a punishment to attend extra classes.
“Done.” Satoru was the first one to finish it and went to sleep for the rest of the period. I nudge Satoru’s leg and his hand begins to trace the answer on my blazer-covered thigh. All I need is to write it down.
At lunch break, as usual, the four of us combine our tables and have lunch together. “How did you do on the test?” Yae asked knowingly.
“I did good,” I said confidently.
“Mmh… Rai-chan did good.” Satoru patted my head.
“He-hello… can I eat lunch with you guys?” Here she is again, the transfer girl. From now on I will call her Girl A. Girl A smiles nervously while sneaking a glance at Satoru, again.
‘Seriously, what’s this girl's problem?! How come she keeps coming to Satoru?’ I frowned. “No, we only have four tables here and we are four people. You should just eat with your partner to deepen your relationship. Who knows he might be your true love.” I glared at her.
“Eh?! No!” She squeaked out. “I mean as a new student… I want to get along with everyone…” She blushed, she is looking at Satoru, silently hoping for him to accept her request.
“Rai-chan, open your mouth, aaahhh…” I nom obediently at Satoru’s chopstick.
“Can’t you see…” I swallowed the food, “We have no more room for you? if you want to make friends, there are also others.” I huffed. *nom* I was fed again.
“O…oh…” She deflated. “Sorry…” She apologized but looked very reluctant to leave us.
“By the way, I heard Shoko applied to a medical cram school. She will be swamped with homework every day.” Suguru laughed.
“Shoko will be alright. She has a gift in the medical field.” I said.
“Yeah… but her explanation…” The two males remembered how she explained to them when they didn’t understand what was going on.
“It’s ‘fwoo’ and then it goes ‘hyoi’. ‘Fwoo’ and then ‘hyoi’, get it?” Shoko explained to them. The two males are emitting smoke from their brain, not understanding what she said. “You’ve got no sense in this.” She sighed.
Seems like she takes the hint and leaves us alone, for now. ~”~
End of the month, it’s a time for the school to announce the score for all students who signed up for the Marriage Lesson program. The first rank is Yae x Suguru pair. Well yeah, it’s no surprise. Satoru and I are placed in second. Not that we mind much. No matter what rank we are, it’s important to just enjoy this. It’s quite sad for Girl A and her partner that they aren’t in the top 10, but they aren’t that far, they are in 12th. Anyway, we have decided to go on a date after the score is being announced.
“Okay, now we are ready.” Satoru zipped his purple high-neck jacket on me again, while he was donning a light blue turtle neck long-sleeved sweater, black hooded fur jacket, jeans and sneakers.
It’s 10 10-minute walk from our apartment to our destination, a cat café. “Welcome.” The waitress greeted us as we stepped into the café. “Table for two?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
“Please follow me.” She giggled seeing my sweater paws. Some cats approach us and tag along to our table. “Here is your table.”
“Thank you.” I smiled, waving my sweater paws to her.
“You are very welcome. Please call one of us when you are ready to order. And here, cat food. You can feed the cat.” She giggled as she handed us a container for cat kibble.
The cats jump onto my lap and start meowing for attention. Instead of ordering I begin to play with cats. Satoru just watches with a soft indulgent smile on his lips. “Here.” I gave him a cat to play with. Satoru chuckles softly as he takes the cat from me and begins stroking the said cat. The cat purrs loudly, thoroughly enjoying it. Hearing that, some other cats begin to approach Satoru. No sooner than 5 minutes, a lot of cats are perching on Satoru’s body. Satoru laughs lightly when they seek attention by rubbing their cheeks and meowing.
“…booo…” I was the one who felt irritated now. Satoru didn’t give me any attention at all. I look at the headband on the waitress’ head. I walk to her and ask if I could borrow that. The waitress smiles as she lends me her cat headband. Now armed with a cat headband on top of my head, I go back to Satoru’s seat, gently moving the cats away and plop myself on his lap.
“Nyaa.” I looked at him as I meowed.
Satoru blinks once, twice and then chuckles as he strokes my head. “The biggest cat is here.”
“Nyaaa~~~” I grinned. But some cats are still persistent in getting his attention. “Nya!” I pouted at the cat. “Nya!” I wrapped my hand around Satoru, showing them that he was mine.
Satoru’s shoulders tremble as he suppresses his laughter. Just see how cute his future wife is, fighting with cats to get his attention.
“Nyaa~~~” The cats pulled their kitty eyes on me.
“Nya! (Still no)” I pouted.
Some cats change their tactics, instead of getting Satoru’s attention, they are trying to get my attention now. Some cats plopped in my lap and I began to nya, nya’ing and play with them. Not noticing the whole guests are now watching us while gushing ‘how cute’ some even experience blood loss due to cuteness.
“Ex…excuse me…” One of the waitresses approached us, blushing slightly. “Can…can we take a picture of you?”
I tilt my head and then nod, “Nya.” I grinned.
“Kya!” I think I heard her scream in excitement. So, I got my picture taken while sitting on Satoru’s lap, having my hands posed like a cat, with long sweater paws, the cats are crowding around us.
We stayed in the cat café longer than intended. But it’s time well spent. “Is this really the bill?” I looked at the bill, which was way cheaper than what we had ordered.
“Yes. It’s a special discount from us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you healed us.” She smiled.
“Eh?” I blinked.
“Please come again. Next month, we are going to launch a new menu.” My eyes brightened at this and I looked at Satoru, batting eyelashes.
“I got it. We will come again next month.” Satoru laughed at his endearing cute lover.
“Nyaaa…” The cats are crowding around us.
“Oh, the cats seem to be sad to see you go.” The waitress said.
I bend down and look at them, “Nya! Nya nya nya (I will come next month, until then be good kids and wait)”
“Nya~~” The cats chorused. Seems like they get what I am trying to say.
“Do tell me since when did you learn cat language?” Satoru raised his brow in amusement as we stepped out from the cat café.
“Since I met the cats.” I giggled.
“…You learnt on the spot…?” His jaw dropped.
“Yep. I am amazing, aren’t I?” I walked two steps ahead and waved my sweater paws at him.
“Yeah, you are really amazing, love.” He chuckled. ~”~
It’s another normal day in school. We are in our second term already, the couple scoreboard was dominated by the invincible couple, Yae x Suguru. They place the first every month. They are called the golden couple. As for me and Satoru, we are sometimes in second or third. But the most important thing is, that we go on cat café dates every month.
Right now, I am on my way back to the classroom after being called by the teacher. “Raika.” A boy stopped me.
“Can I help you?” I looked at this unfamiliar boy. “And don’t call me by my first name. We are not close.” I frowned.
“I can call you what I like.” He said. “And, you.” He suddenly grabbed my arm, “How long do you think you are going to be stuck with Gojo? You are mine, remember?”
“…” I looked at him blankly. “I don’t even know you,” I answered.
“Heh! Are you angry that I am paired with that new girl?” He smiled in a deranged way.
“Let me go.” I shook off his hand.
“Don’t worry, I will request a partner exchange. You will soon be with me.” He licked his lip while looking at me and then he went away.
“…Sick man…” I grumbled. “How dare he touch me and wrinkle Satoru’s blazer? I am going to kick him next time I see him.” I harrumphed. ~”~
“Gojo-kun, Hisaki-san is not a good partner for you. You should have changed her while you have the chance.” Girl A came over to Satoru and suddenly said something like this to him.
“Are you crazy?” Satoru rolled his eyes as if he would believe what this girl was talking about.
“I am not. Hisaki-san is cheating on you. Look at this.” Girl A showed him a picture. A picture where Rai-chan was being held by her arm by a boy. “See, she even already agreed to exchange partners.” She continued.
“Exchanging partner needs consent from all parties involved. I will never agree, so there’s no way Rai-chan will exchange partners. Not that she will agree herself.” Satoru mumbled.
“No, but she really said it.” Girl A continued to say.
“I don’t care. You are annoying me. Get lost.” Satoru glared to her and then quickly went to see Rai-chan. Rai-chan won’t let some other people touch her easily. And that face of her clearly showed that she was surprised, angry and uncomfortable.
‘Why…why he doesn’t believe me?’ Girl A looked at his back sadly. ‘No…’ She shook her head, ‘I can’t give up yet. It’s still too early for me to give up. I will definitely make him realize that Hisaki-san is not as good as he thinks she is. Evidence, I need a lot of evidence.’ Just like that Girl A is resolving to collect the evidence of Hisaki Raika’s cheating affair. ~”~
“Rai-ch-!” I launched like a rocket to Satoru. “What’s wrong, Rai-chan? Where’s my blazer?” Satoru looked confused because I was without his usual blazer.
“A mental person touched it. it’s dirty now. He ruined your smell. I hate him.” I threw a tantrum.
“Did he do anything to you?” Satoru asked worriedly.
“He touched my arm…” I grumbled. “He also spouted some nonsense about me being his. Who does he think he is? I am no one’s.” I pouted.
“Aren’t you mine, love?”
“You are mine.” I huffed, looking at him with serious eyes (and a triangle mouth)
“…yes, that’s right, isn’t it?” Satoru smiled in relief and patted my head.
“Let’s get a new blazer for you.”
“Okay, Rai-chan.” Satoru allowed me to drag him to request a new blazer.
To appease my bad mood, Satoru cooks my favourite dinner for today and even buys some kikufukus. “Why are you still pouting, love?”
“I am still angry because he ruined your blazer. Now I can’t have sweater paws again.” I huffed.
“I still have another one.” Satoru smiled.
“But I won’t have anything to wear when it’s going to be washed,” I mumbled.
“The new blazer won’t take too long.”
“It doesn’t smell like you.” I cried.
“…” Satoru chuckled. “Come here, love.” Hearing his soft indulging voice, I crawled to him, sitting on his lap. Satoru’s hands quickly wrap around me. “I will let you wear my high-neck jacket, will that do?”
“…okay…” I nodded.
“Good girl. Now, what do you want to do? We still have time before going to sleep.”
“Silly Satoru, we still have to do our skincare routine.” I rolled my eyes.
“Oh, yeah. I almost forget about that.”
“I will go get them.” Not long after, I came back with the necessary cat headband towels and skincare tools and products. The two of us then do the skincare routine to each other face, giggling while putting the mask on. And now watching some rom-com movie, munching some kikufukus. ~”~
Starting the next day, I am wearing Satoru’s high-neck jacket instead of the usual blazer. The new blazer will need more time to smell like him. I thought this would be the ordinary normal day as usual.
“Hisaki-san, I want to request a partner exchange.” Girl A came over to me and said that.
“I don’t want to,” I answered lazily.
“You…you can’t be like that! Gojo-kun is too good for the likes of you.” She said and the whole class quieted down.
“Too good for me?” My mouth twitched. “So, you think he will be perfect for you?!” I glared at her menacingly. “Know your place, peasant. Who do you think you are? Your status can't even measure up to my pinky.”
“Status is not important in love!” She glared back. “Because…because Gojo-kun is my first love!”
“…You must hit your head hard.” I blinked.
“I am not! Gojo-kun is my first love! I knew it when I saw him! I still remember how he gave pudding to me when I was crying back then.” She suddenly went into her delusion.
“Satoru…gave pudding to you…?” I repeated. “There’s no way. Satoru won’t ever give sweets to someone that is not me.”
“What? You don’t believe me? Of course you are. You think you are a perfect match for him because the school paired you two up. Gojo-kun will soon remember about me and we’ll see.” She huffed haughtily.
“Where did you meet?” I frowned.
“Curious now?” She snorted. “I won’t tell you.” She smiled in triumph and went back to her seat full of pride.
‘…This girl…must be mental too…’
Satoru, Yae and Suguru came back from the faculty room. Girl A suddenly makes her way to him. “Gojo-kun, do you remember me?”
“…Who are you? Do I know you?” Satoru frowned. Yae sensing something is not right, quickly comes to my side.
“What’s wrong?”
“That girl is mental,” I answered.
“Seems so.” Yae nodded solemnly.
After school, we gathered in our apartment to discuss what happened at the time they were gone. So, I narrated to them how that girl suddenly asked for a partner exchange and said that Satoru was her first love.
Satoru makes a face at that statement. And then I continued about how Satoru gave pudding to her when she was crying. The problem is, that Satoru never left my side in our childhood until now. Wherever I was, Satoru would be there, and vice versa. We are heirs of big companies. So, we usually mingle with kids with the same status. There will be no chance that Satoru will meet her, lest giving her sweets. Satoru only ever gave me sweets.
“She must be mental.�� They came to the same conclusion.
“Let’s run a background check on her,” Suguru suggested.
“Yeah, and her partner too. He harassed Rai-chan once.” Satoru nodded. After Yae and Suguru go back to their own room, I cling to Satoru like a koala, with all limbs wrapped around him tightly.
“Still angry?” Satoru hummed as he patted my head.
“I hate her.” My voice is muffled by his clothes.
“I don’t like her too.” Satoru adjusted me so I won’t fall down. “Let’s forget about her now. I want to spend time with my lovely Rai-chan.”
“I bought a new movie.” My eyes sparkled.
“You set up the movie, okay, love. I will make some snacks for us.”
“Okay.” I jumped back down, excitedly fluttering away to set up for movie night. “Hurry up, Satoru.” I pouted at the slow him.
“I’m coming.” Satoru came with various sweets and snacks and my favourite fruity-flavoured drink. I bring a blanket and pillows from our bedroom. I have a feeling we are gonna end up sleeping on the sofa, so I make it more comfortable to sleep.
“Hurry hurry.” I waved my sweater paws excitedly and crawled onto his lap the moment he sat down. As usual, Satoru’s hand automatically slips into his oversized sweater and rests on my bare stomach and I have a blanket covering us, I press play and then lean back on his chest.
“It’s a horror story?” Satoru peered down at me.
“Yep, so I can cuddle with you if I am afraid.” I beamed at him.
“That you do.” He chuckled.
Throughout the movie, I have Satoru to feed me snacks, I don’t want my sweater paws to get dirty now, do I?
“Satoru, kiss.” From time to time, I asked for a kiss instead of a snack. The problem is, for each kiss I ask, the longer the kiss will be.
“Let’s not go over PG 13, yeah,” Satoru whispered on my lips.
“But I like your kisses.” I pouted. “Why does it matter anyway? It’s not like we can’t turn off the camera anyway.” The only drawback is we won’t be getting points. That’s why we sometimes fall down in ranking. There were times we turned off the camera.
“You are being naughty today, hm.” Satoru licked his lips. His hand starts tracing a pattern on my stomach.
“Yep. But you will indulge me, won’t you?” I giggled.
“Yeah, I can’t never deny your request, love.” Satoru’s hand searched for the remote control and turned off the camera. Now we are free to do whatever we want. I giggle as I wrap my hands around his neck and pull him into tongue battling kiss.
Remember how wealthy engaged kids are using this program as trial and error for their upcoming marriage life? That’s why legal guardians were using loopholes to have their engaged kids partnered up with each other.
Satoru and I have been engaged since we were born. So, following this program is just a way for us to get used to the upcoming marriage life. Not that this helps much, we are used to each other presence so much that it will actually feel weird if we aren’t together. The two of us being together is as natural as breathing. We need each other to continue living.
Long story short, we are satisfied and happy in the morning. ~”~
The following days were pretty annoying because Girl A either pestering me to exchange partners or pestering Satoru about being her first love. We got the report on their background, and it was clearly stated that she had never met Satoru face to face. First, Satoru never went to her hometown even once. Second, there’s no way Satoru was allowed to go out alone as a kid. Three, Satoru never go anywhere without me.
So, it was clear she was delusional about Satoru being her first love. One thing concerning me is that Girl A partner who from now on I will call him Thug A. Thug A, according to the report my subordinate gave, has an unhealthy obsession with me.
‘He is mental…. What do I expect from a mental person?’ Apparently, he has a lot of pictures of me that were taken without my consent. My witty subordinate already made sure to take them as evidence. The biggest problem is he…cut up every picture of Satoru. I am worried he will do anything to my Satoru.
“You worry too much, love.” Satoru pinched my nose. As usual, we are cuddling on the sofa
“You are not allowed to get hurt. Satoru is my property.” I huffed.
“I won’t.” Satoru laughed affectionately at my declaration. “Here, eat this kikufuku.” He prodded my pouting mouth with kikufuku and I opened my mouth to eat it. “Delicious?”
“Very.” I licked my mouth clean.
“Which one is more delicious, this kikufuku or me?” Satoru traced the bottom of my lip while desire reflected in his eyes.
“You.” My tongue swirls around his thumb.
“Shall we decorate the bed with you pinned underneath me?”
“Who’s being naughty today?” I giggled.
“Me. I am being naughty today.” Satoru grinned, but his eyes softened. “You will listen to your cute, handsome, awesome fiancé’s request, won’t you?”
I jump out of his lap and Satoru looks at me with a pout. “Come here, silly. We are going to the bed, aren’t we?” Satoru’s eyes brighten up and he trails behind me like a puppy. ~”~
Another month, another cat café date. As usual, the two of us are walking to the said café. The owner said they are going to have a new menu today, named, Catoru, courtesy of me. I am in a good mood because no one is bothering us today. Girl A and Thug A are strangely quiet after being annoying for a little while.
Speaking of Thug A, since I was cornered that one time, Satoru made a point to never leave me alone. It’s either he or Yae and Suguru will be beside me, making less chance for them to do anything against me. I also make sure not to leave Satoru alone, because Girl A will pester Satoru who is her first love. She is the type that won’t hear anything aside from what she wants to hear, so explaining was useless.
“You are feeling happy today, love.” Satoru noticed the light skip I had.
“Yep. No one is bothering us.” I nodded happily, swinging our intertwined hands. I am so happy that I accidentally bumped to another person, “Oh, I am so…” I blinked as I saw a deranged smile of Girl A and pain shot through my side. “You…” I took a stab back and felt something being pulled out.
“Rai-chan!” I saw Satoru’s face turn into horror.
“It’s your fault, Hisaki-san. How dare you steal my first love. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” ~”~
When I woke up, it had been 4 days since the stabbing incident. Yae and Suguru are filling me in on what happened in these 4 days and the reason for Satoru being absent now.
First, right after the stabbing incident, Girl A was apprehended by police right away, she didn’t even retaliate, all she did was laugh at my condition. Only after she heard I was in no life-threatening danger, she became ballistic. She obviously has some mental health issues going on. She kept saying how Satoru is her first love and I was a boyfriend stealer. My and Satoru’s and even Yae’s and Suguru’s families are furious and outraged at what happened. They make sure she will stay forever in a mental hospital far far away from us.
She wouldn’t believe that Satoru was in fact never giving her a pudding or even meeting her. Seems like the truth of the story was, that she was attending the birthday of a wealthy kid in a hotel. The hotel at the same time, hosted another event for big companies which we attended. Girl A tried to follow us after being attracted to Satoru. Of course, security wouldn’t let her pass. Her parents were also on the scene. She then threw a tantrum right there and then, but then a boy around her age suddenly gave him his pudding so she would stop crying.
“Don’t cry. Here, you can have my pudding.”
It’s apparent that Girl A’s mind was not normal, her mind conjured that the one who gave her the pudding was Satoru, or at least the boy looked like Satoru. Hence, she believes wholeheartedly that Satoru was her first love.
And since they are getting rid of trouble, they pull out all of the roots. Thug A’s assault also made its way to our parents’ ears. Backed up with the stalking evidence, he was taken to court with legal action. There’s also a possibility of attempted murder going by the fact he wrote hateful comments and even planned a murder plan to kill Satoru.
His stalking and harassment warrant him a maximum of two years, but adding to the attempted murder charge, he will be added for 4 years, which will total six years. But no worries, a lot can happen inside the prison. Satoru made sure he wouldn’t be appearing anymore along with the girl. Papa and Mama won’t just stay quiet after seeing their daughter being stalked and stabbed now, will they?
Safe to say, Girl A and Thug A, along with their families will forever disappear from Earth soon. Now, Satoru is finalizing the whole matter, so he is absent.
“He should be back soon. Don’t pout.” Suguru pinched my nose.
“Because… I want to see Satoru the first thing I woke up.” I sulked.
“Rai-chan!!!!”
“Here he is.” Yae smiled.
“Satoru!” A big grin adorned my face. “Hug.” I extended my hands. What I want, is what I get. I want a hug, then a big smothering hug is what I get.
“Satoru, don’t use too much force. Rai-chan’s side is still hurting.” Suguru reminded.
“It still hurt?” Satoru pulled back and asked worriedly.
“A little. So, you have to tenderly care for me until I recover.” I nodded.
“Even after you recover, I will still tenderly care for you, love.” Satoru grinned.
“Heheheh. I know.” I gave him a silly smile.
“Rai-chan. You have woken up!!!”
“Ah, Mama and Papa. Oh, Aunties and Uncles are here too.” I waved to them, I poked my head to see my parents along with the others’ parents all crowding my VVIP room.
“You scared us to death, Rai-chan.” They frowned.
“Sorry.” I smiled.
“But it’s good that you are fine now.”
“Yep, I am fine now. Satoru said he’s going to give a lot of love to me.” I giggled.
“Rai-chan…about staying in apartment…” Mama opened her mouth.
“Mama, I want to stay there with Satoru. Because I can finally live alone with Satoru. I don’t want it to end yet.” I whined.
“You two are going to live together forever anyway.” Mama rolled her eyes.
“I know. If I stay with Satoru now then my time spent with Satoru will be considered longer.” I wanted to flail my arms, but my side would be hurting, so I won’t do it today.
“Satoru spoiled you too much.” Mama pinched my nose.
“Because Satoru loves me.” I huffed. “Like you are one to talk Mama. I still remember you two make all of us,” I gestured to Yae, Suguru and Satoru. “,play dates so you could have time to be spoiled and spoiling Papa, no? Aunties and Uncles are also guilty as charged.” I rolled my eyes.
My childhood friends and fiancé laugh at this while the older generations are blushing while clearing their throats. In the end, I will be staying in the apartment until the Marriage Lesson program finished, which is also means our high school graduation. ~”~
“Satoru.”
“Yes, love?”
“I want to be spoiled a lot today.”
“How do you want to be spoiled today?”
I grin mischievously as I whisper into his ear, “Down there, using your mouth, on the bed.” No sooner than the sentence was finished, I was carried to the bedroom. My giggle echoed until the bedroom was closed and locked.
The good thing is, that the apartment is well-soundproofed all around, especially the bedroom.
