「Then, can you hug me? A make up hug.」

I spread my arms wide in front of Misaki,
With a fearless smile and a composed look.

On the inside, however, my heart was racing.
It’s not like I’m used to this. I’ve never embraced anyone like this before, and my experience in love is practically no different from Misaki’s.

Misaki steps forward and shakily reaches out to me.
After sliding her hands under my arms, she pauses. Her eyes are asking me if it’s alright to continue. I deliberately refuse to answer, and Misaki’s hands eventually continue on.

Her arms reach my back.
The distance between us shrinks; her flushed face is now right in front of my eyes.
Her nose is positioned a bit above mine. Actually, her nose is just higher. And yet her nostrils are small. I frankly want to exchange noses with her.

I slowly lower my arms.
I gave Misaki the initiative… Not, I’m just being mean to her.
It’s an experiment to see how Misaki would act towards a non-reactive woman like me.

And as expected, Misaki had a troubled look.
While we look the part of a couple in embrace now, she’s getting cold feet. ‘*Am I doing it right? What should I do next?*’ Her flustered thoughts are easy to read.

Unable to hold back, my cheeks melt into a smile.
I couldn’t help it; seeing Misaki’s troubled face brought me delight. After all, it’s so amusing. She’s adorable.

Perhaps getting the wrong idea, Misaki’s cheeks melt into a smile as well.
Maybe seeing me smile made her feel relieved. Suddenly, her embrace became a lot tighter, our bodies filling gaps in between us.

… *Eh?*
Wha-, this is amazing.
I feel the insides of my chest squeeze. It’s like she’s embracing both me and my heart.

So soft, so warm, so fragrant.
Our chests push on each other, as if they’re being squashed together.

This is crazy. This is far more dangerous than the peck from earlier.
Happiness is overflowing from within me. My head feels hazy. It’s like everything else is inconsequential right now.

I already feel this way with clothes still on; how will this even feel if we embrace in the nude?

「Miyu?」

Hearing my name, I came back to my senses.
Was I tripping just now? Did I make a weird face?
I quickly tried to look as unfazed as I could, insisting that it had no effect.

「What?」
「H-how was it? Can we make up now?」
「*Hm*, that was absolutely no good.」

Absolutely no good for my heart.

「N-no good?」
「Nope, nope, no-nope.」

Hugging is seriously dangerous. No more.
As I broke eye contact, Misaki’s embrace loosened. I raise my arms and push Misaki’s shoulder.

「Then, I’ll be going ho～me now.」

I said with a joking tone while turning around.
Frankly, I was conflicted on what to do next. My beating heart wasn’t calming down at all. So maybe it’s best to just come back later.

「No! You’re not going home!」

With a yell, Misaki tackled me from behind.
Shocked, my whole body froze. From behind me, her arms roughly held my whole body tight.

「W-wait…!」

Panicking, I try to wriggle out.
However, it doesn’t seem like any wriggling can shake her off. Her embrace is much stronger than before.

Her hold is so tight that my breasts are being crushed. And Misaki’s breasts are pushing against my back too.
My whole body is squeezed extremely tight; my heart feels like it’s being wrung out.

I feel my cheeks flushed red. I’m sure my ears and neck are all red, too.
My mind is all blank. Right next to my head, Misaki’s voice echoes.

「I told you I’m sorry, didn’t I!? Don’t be angry!」
「I-I get it, already! Just, let go for now!」
「No! I’m not letting go until you forgive me!」
「I-I forgive you, alright!? I’m not angry any more!」
「Really? You’re not angry?」
「Frankly, if you keep this up, then I’m actually going to be angry!」

After saying that, she finally released me.
I was genuinely panicking just now. I’m huffing for air right now.

Misaki, meanwhile, 「*Ahaha*…」 is awkwardly scratching her head in embarrassment.
No, don’t, ‘*Ahaha,*’ me. Do you want me dead? My heart is racing like crazy right now; did that just take years off my life?

「Let’s… sit down for a second, okay? Have a seat and calm down.」

I urged Misaki to the sofa.
Calm down. You need to calm down. For me, of all people, to lose my composure?

Still, with me conceding now, I feel like I just lost.
Me, losing to Misaki? No, no, what a joke. She surprised me from behind, so she was cheating.

Either way, I can’t go home like this.
It’s only natural to retaliate when you’re attacked, isn’t it?

Misaki did as I said and sat on the sofa. She’s awfully obedient.
I then stood right in front of her.

「Shall we make up for real, then?」

Misaki vigorously nodded her head.
I smile at her as I put one knee on the sofa. Opening my legs, I positioned my other knee and lowered my hips.　

「W-wai-, M-Miyu…?」

I’m currently straddling over Misaki’s lap.
Misaki tried to stand up, so I pushed her down by her shoulders and shifted my full weight to my torso. I sandwiched her thighs with mine, immobilizing her.
Shocked, Misaki looks up at me with her mouth slack open. What a stupid mug.

「*Umm*… Miyu-san? What are you sitting on?」
「*Nnfu*」
「No, 『*Nnfu,*』 isn’t an answer…」

I couldn’t help but chuckle. My anger is nowhere to be found.
On the contrary, I don’t know why…
But I feel so giddy. This is so fun.
I feel my blood excitedly coursing through my veins.

「Y-you’re so heavy…」
「Who are you calling heavy? Don’t talk back.」

I pinch Misaki’s cheek and stretch it out.
With relatively strong force. Perhaps thinking that I’d get mad if she smacks my hand away, Misaki closes her eyes and endures it.

Still, this is a pretty suggestive position if I say so myself.
After telling Misaki not to spread her legs, here I am, shamelessly spreading my legs while straddling her.

「*Hmm*～ Does it hurt～?」
「It hurtss～……」

With teary eyes, Misaki looks up at me. She’s unbearably cute. I let go of her cheek for now.

「I knew it; you’re still angry, Miyu…」
「Sorry, sorry. But we’ve been all weird since yesterday, haven’t we? Come, let’s make up properly this time.」

I raise my hands in front of Misaki’s face.
Her tearful expression then turned into one of joy.

Without saying a word, Misaki puts her arms around my waist and dives into my chest. I then welcomed her head with a warm embrace.
