The One Who'll Be My Girlfriend
"Is the lady next to you your girlfriend?"
"No. She's the one who's going to be."
At her words I had no idea how to answer. My mouth simply locked shut.
To me she'd only ever been an easy bitch.
…So why the hell does she look this adorable right now?
"I… it was so hard… I just wanted to be loved… by Leon…"
Watching Yuna speak through her tears, I couldn't hold back either. No actual tears came, but the dried-up feelings inside me turned soft and wet again. I pulled her into my arms and whispered against her ear.
"If there's anything I can do, I'll help you."
"…"
To stop her crying I deliberately jacked the energy up high.
"How about we go get some hangover food? This time Oppa's treating~"
Her expression brightened by degrees—half crying, half smiling, impossible to tell which.
"Hngh… hnn… Oppa my ass…"
That's the line I used to say. She actually remembered it…
"Oppa is right, you know~? I've lived a lot longer than you~"
Including the previous life, but still.
Yuna pulled every last emotion back together and stopped the tears.
"Yes, Leon-oppa~ You're buying me food, right~?"
"You think I can't even buy one girl a meal?"
"What are you talking about? You're broke."
We bantered back and forth until our eyes met. Smiles spread across both our faces.
"What time is it? I've got a fixed clock-out."
"Four twenty-five right now."
"Wonder if it's okay to just leave the room like this."
"I can settle your room T/C myself, can't I?"
Oh. Right. That works…
Because of one money-flinging psycho bitch I'd mistaken the employer for that other whore.
"Then… does that include outside T/C?"
Wrong atmosphere for it, but the money-calculating occupational disease shot out of me anyway. Thankfully she answered with a laugh.
"Pfft! Look at you, already working the angles~?"
Fox-faced little bitch.
Felt like I was the one about to get worked over. Didn't mind if I was.
I took Yuna's hand and headed for the counter.
"Taking a customer home with you?"
"Yes. Just bill the room T/C, please. No outside T/C needed. The other guest will cover the drinks."
"Got it~ See you tomorrow~"
By the time we stepped out, the shock of first walking in was long gone. The thought of lasting at least a month here had completely killed the excitement.
I pressed the elevator button and opened my mouth.
"Anything you want to eat? I'll buy you something expensive."
"Nothing really… You?"
"My stomach's churning. I need hangover food pretty bad…"
"There's a good maeuntang place nearby—want to go there? Or somewhere else you're craving?"
"Nah. I want something cold and sweet… There's a twenty-four-hour dessert bar I know. Let's go there."
She beamed and nodded.
We rode the elevator down and stepped out onto the street. Cool wind washed over us.
"Yuna, you cold? Summer's almost here, but it's still chilly this early."
She perked her ears and answered brightly.
"I'm not pure-blood human, so I'm fine~!"
"Haha! So it wasn't just your personality that was a fox?"
"Whatever. Where's this dessert bar?"
"Pretty far from here, but not taxi-far. Let's just walk a bit."
Streets that had glittered at night were slowly darkening as shop signs went dark one by one; faint sunlight began to show itself. The chaotic cityscape felt like it was refreshing itself. Breathing in the crisp dawn air while walking side by side with her felt so good it left me drowsy and loose.
Walking hand-in-hand with a girl who used to work under me felt like a dream. Right now we weren't anything yet…
Which meant we could start over. Not as boss and subordinate—as something else.
The dessert bar wasn't far. I almost wished it had been farther.
Moon & Malt
"This is the place I was talking about."
"Pretty classy for you, Leon."
"For me? I bring you somewhere nice and this is the attitude, you bitch?"
"Aww, good boy~ You did great~"
"…It's cold. Let's go in."
We took the stairs down to the basement. Soft, relaxing music filled the space. No other customers were around.
"Welcome~"
"Hello, boss."
"Leon-ssi, it's been a while. Good to see you."
"Been busy with all kinds of things lately, haha."
We sat at the bar and I opened the menu.
"They serve alcohol here too?"
"Yeah, not the cheap bulk stuff—cocktails, highballs, that kind of thing. Want anything?"
"Can't you just pick for me? I don't really know~"
She knows perfectly well and she's still playing dumb.
"Fine, whatever. Two lemon sorbets and two Celestias, please."
"Coming right up!"
Before the food arrived we both just stared at the bar top. The owner, seeing the silence, spoke up to break it.
"So… is the young lady next to you your girlfriend?"
"Uh, well… I'm not sure…"
Yuna's sharp gaze snapped onto me.
"…She's the one who's going to be."
"Hahaha! Right in the prime of it, huh~ Youth is beautiful!"
Fucking hell. Kid whose milk hasn't even dried yet.
Counting the previous life, I'm older than you.
"Here you go~ Not too strong, so you won't get drunk~! I'll be in the kitchen washing glasses, so take your time~"
I immediately dug into the lemon sorbet.
"…Feed me too."
"Huh…? You've got your own spoon, just use—"
"I want to eat from the spoon that touched Leon's mouth…"
The relief in my chest swelled tight. Same went for my cock. I scooped a bite with my spoon and held it to her lips.
"…Eat."
"Aaahn…♡"
She stuck her tongue out, opened wide, and took my spoon deep. Then she sucked it clean like her life depended on it, not leaving a single drop.
If this were my cock instead of a spoon…
Just thinking it made the alcohol hit harder.
"Stop—stop sucking."
"Should I feed you too?"
"Yeah. Gotta take a bite from your spoon as well."
"But… doing it sober feels a little embarrassing… I need a drink first."
"…What does that have to do with anything?"
"Just do it for meee… Let's do a love shot, love shot…♡"
I had no idea what she was on about, but I followed orders. Her slender arm crossed with mine and the distance between us vanished. Down below a live fish was thrashing, but I ignored it and drained the glass.
"Uh… uh…?"
My head spun. He said it was low-proof…?
Same thing hit Yuna.
"After whiskey, this feels so weird…"
"We're gonna pass out. We're way too drunk…"
"Theeen… we gotta hangover-cure it, hangover-cure~"
She scooped a bite of sorbet with her spoon. It should have gone into my mouth—instead it went into hers.
"You said you'd feed me. Why are you eating it alone—"
"Mmnh…!"
Hnnngh… chuuup…
The bright, citrusy scent of the sorbet filled both our mouths. Even without the sorbet the kiss would have been insanely sweet; now the flavor only amplified. I had no idea what state my cock was in through the dizziness, but it was probably soaked.
She pulled away first. A string of mixed saliva dripped toward the floor. She gave me a lewd little smile and spoke.
"Hehe… You said you'd feed meee…"
Ha. Fucking bitch.
She's getting me so goddamn hard.
"But I still haven't cured the hangover."
"Uuung…? Not yet…?"
I snatched her spoon, scooped sorbet, and put it in my own mouth.
"What…?"
Then I shared the melting sorbet straight into hers.
Hnn… chup…
About five seconds of kissing later we broke apart.
"Haa… haa…"
Our breathing grew rougher. The music might as well have vanished.
"My body feels weird… It's getting so hot…"
"Yeah… me too…"
A powdery scent started rising from her.
"Leon… hold meee…"
I pulled her in without a word. She yanked me tight so my cock pressed against her stomach.
"It's warm…"
"Haa… haa…"
Yuna tipped her face up to look at me. I caught the signal instantly and kissed her again. My brain felt like it was melting right along with the sorbet.
She started rubbing my waist and ass. Matching her, one of my hands naturally went to her ass, the other to her chest, kneading.
"Ah, I put the order in wrong. How am I supposed to open tomorrow~"
The owner's lament drifted from somewhere far away, but I didn't care. Right now this space was our private suite.
"Feels good… feels good…"
"I like Yuna too…"
The cool air from the AC wasn't nearly enough. Our bodies only got hotter, hotter, until I wanted the clothes off right now.
"It's way too hot in here…"
"Hot…? Should we go outside…?"
"Before we leave, one more love shot?"
"Okay…♡"
Yuna lifted her glass with trembling hands. The liquor inside dripped onto her chest in sticky little drops.
"That's dangerous. And now it's all over your tits."
"Iiiiis it…?"
I caught her hand and set the glass down.
"You said you'd feed meee…"
"I'll feed you plenty later. Something good for your body."
"Ehehe… What's thaaat…♡"
I left a wad of cash on the bar top and dragged her out. I could barely keep myself upright, but I did my best to stop her from stumbling.
Outside, morning sunlight was already bright enough to hurt the eyes. That only made the road to the motel clearer. After walking just a little—
Or maybe a lot. I had no idea how far.
We ended up right in front of a motel.
She was barely conscious, but I still asked for consent. Of course I already knew the answer.
"Let's rest a little before we go."
"Mmm…♡"
