Chapter 205 Thoughts Change With Time
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”I’m sure Ayase-senpai’s gym offers aquatic therapy too, right?” Haruto asked, tilting his head casually.
”Y-yeah, we do… b-but why?” Rin replied, fidgeting a little.
Rin’s massage sessions, which had originally been once a month, had quietly shifted to every two weeks.
At this point, it wasn’t really about relaxation anymore—more like a different kind of release.
Haruto didn’t hate Rin’s boldness. In fact, he was starting to feel something deeper stir inside him…
Something that made him want to guide her even further.
”I have a proposal,” he said, voice low. “How about we team up? Like a business partnership.”
”Eh…? B-business… partnership…? Ahh…”
”Yeah. I’ll send people who need aquatic rehab. As part of the session, they can follow your program. I just need you to accept them when I refer.”
”That’s… um… nngh… right now… saying that…” Her voice melted into quiet sounds.
”But Ayase-senpai always ends up falling asleep, so I figured… this timing works.”
”Ev…en if… I sleep… aahh—!”
Squelch.
(Oh wow… this time, it wasn’t just… that.)
Rin was changing.
Haruto could tell.
She was reacting more each time, adjusting to sensations she once couldn’t handle.
And maybe… he was forgetting too. Forgetting that she wasn’t just being led—she was starting to move with him.
She wasn’t blacking out as easily anymore. Her body was catching up to her feelings.
Moments like this… they came when you least expected it.
”Before she wakes up… I want to taste those soft, warm…” Haruto muttered under his breath.
He had wanted to for a long time now.
But during a massage, that line was too far—even for him.
So he had always resisted.
Then, from the back of his mind—
”Hehehe, long time no see!” the devil inside him grinned. “She’s out cold, right? She won’t notice!”
”No! That’s not okay! This is a massage!” the angel protested.
”Massage? You still calling this a massage? That’s hilarious!”
”Still! As long as I say it’s a massage, then it is!”
”Then just use your tongue for the massage!”
”There’s no way that counts! Are you insane?!”
”It’s fine! It’s still a massage! A tongue massage!”
And so, with the inner argument settled, the devil won by a landslide.
Haruto slowly turned Rin over, careful not to wake her.
His lips touched skin.
”Mm… soft…” he whispered, eyes slightly dazed.
Again.
His tongue moved gently, following the subtle curves with practiced care.
”So much more detailed than fingers…” he murmured, almost in awe.
Her breath caught.
(Huh…? She’s waking up…? No… not yet… right?)
Still, he didn’t stop.
Her body gave a quiet reaction.
(Wha… what is this? H-Haruto-kun…!?)
Her eyes stayed closed. Her lips trembled slightly, holding in sound.
(No… I can’t make a noise… not now…)
”Puaah~! Ayase-senpai’s amazing,” Haruto whispered, pulling back with a dazed smile.
”……!” (D-Don’t say embarrassing things like that…!)
”Every time I see them, I think… someday I might lose control.”
”……!” (W-Wait, is he serious? Haruto-kun would really do that…? But… no, Akane’s still—!)
”Next time, maybe I’ll go even further,” he whispered, the words low and dangerous.
”Ugh… nn…” (T-this is bad! I have to wake up!)
”Ayase-senpai, are you awake? The massage is over. Please go take a shower.”
”Y-yeah… th-thank you…”
And just like that, from one small moment of weakness, she had heard something she wasn’t meant to.
Haruto didn’t know.
Rin, for all her awkwardness and lack of experience, hadn’t hated what she heard.
If anything, her flushed cheeks said otherwise.
”…Huh? Come to think of it…” Haruto muttered as he stared at the ceiling. “Isn’t this exactly what Tsuyuki-san used to do…?”
Back in his college days, Haruto had lived next to a strange guy named Tsuyuki Seiichi.
That man had a habit—he liked pretending his girlfriend was asleep and doing things while she “slept.”
Back then, Haruto couldn’t understand it. It was beyond him.
But now…
Now, he wasn’t so sure.
If he could talk to his past self, maybe he’d say:
”You’ll understand it someday.”
Notes:
• Rin – Second-year member of the swimming club; currently experiencing a physical problem that Haruto may help solve.
