The String of Balls - Final Chapter

“Are you blaming me?”

 

Kotone’s words kept repeating in my head.

 

It was only because I cheated on him.

 

It’s my fault for hitting back.

 

…I know. I’m not teasing you. I was just sulking and being sulky.

 

I didn’t want to admit that Kotone had just lost interest in me, so I decided it was all a lie from the start and ran away.

 

It’s all my fault, but I deliberately hurt Kotone… no, no wonder she hates me.

 

“…I thought so…Is it okay if I’m the only one? I’ll be with you forever…I won’t cheat on you, and I’ll never make you cry…”

 

As soon as I entered my room, a soft girl’s body wrapped around me.

 

As he embraces me gently, I am reminded once again of my greed.

 

I want Kotone too. Only Kotone can fill the hole that’s left when she’s gone.

 

Even though she goes crying to Moon and gets comforted, it’s only a temporary solution.

 

It’s Kotone’s fault that I’ve been so greedy… She needs to take responsibility.

 

“I’m sorry… I love you as much as Fumi. Because Kotone was there, I was able to be myself. If Kotone wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have been able to tell Fumi that I loved her.”

 

“…Koto, you wouldn’t like it if I held hands with someone else, right?”

 

“No.”

 

I don’t even want to imagine it.

 

If it were the old me, I might have kept quiet, saying that he had no right to say something like that to me.

 

But I don’t like what I don’t like. Fumie and Kotone are mine, so I won’t give them to anyone.

 

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fumie answered, and with a wry smile, she began to speak.

 

“How selfish… Do you know that I’m just being ridiculous?”

 

“You don’t like me like this? …You love me, don’t you?”

 

She smiles seductively, acting like a seasoned older sister, which is quite unlike me.

 

“…If I make you feel insecure, you’ll cheat on me. I’ll kiss you right in front of Koto.”

 

Hehe, I don’t mean it like that.

 

“Well then… I need to show you how much I love you, Fumie.”

 

He pushed her down on the bed and then lay on top of her.

 

His passionate eyes stared at me, and I noticed him licking his lips in anticipation.

 

I showered kisses on her lips, which were shinier than usual. I wonder if she was excited because it was our first date? She was wearing the same outfit I used to like.

 

“Today’s sentence is so cute.”

 

“…It’s late. Things are going on as usual… It seems like I’m the only one looking forward to it.”

 

She wore a light navy blue loose denim jacket over a plain black T-shirt, and an ivory box pleated skirt with few pleats. Even though it was long, the cuteness of the design was on full display, which was simply amazing.

 

I won’t be so rude as to say it will get wrinkled.

 

“Hmm… even if you try to deceive me… It’s no good…”

 

Despite saying that, his eyes are glassy.

 

She stuck out her tongue of her own accord, she’s so easygoing, it’s surprising. She loves me too much.

 

“I’ve always liked you, but now I like you even more. I like you, Fumie, I love you.”

 

“… Ehehe.”

 

“…That’s easy.”

 

“It’s okay. It’s just for the sake of things… hey, more… mmm…”

 

The sounds of their tongues gently intertwining gradually become more intense.

 

The comfortable kiss that conveyed their love for each other became more visceral, not just based on pure feelings, but also on an attempt to gain and give pleasure.

 

His hand reaches out to Fumie’s skirt, his fingers hooked to pull it down.

 

“You did it for me yesterday, so I’ll do it for you today.”

 

“Well, well… okay! I’ll do it!”

 

As Aya desperately resists by holding down her skirt, she pleads with him with a dejected look on her face.

 

“I want Fumie to feel good too… is that okay?”

 

“Uhh… well… it’s dirty and… embarrassing… so… ah, a shower! Right! Once I get home–“

 

“It’s not dirty, the writing is beautiful.”

 

Taking advantage of a momentary gap, he pulled it down without any questions asked.

 

My eyes were caught by the pale pink shorts with cute frills that were so typical of Fumie, and I was drawn to them.

“No, no wait a second, seriously…ahh!”

I’m glad your mom went out.

 

The voice that came out of Fumie’s mouth echoed throughout the room and turned me on.

 

The sentence that told me I’d never even masturbated was messed up on my tongue.

 

When I came to, Fumie was lying on my bed, her clothes in disarray, her breathing irregular.

 

I wonder how many times I have to climax before I’m covered in sweat. I’m out of breath, like I just ran a full marathon.

 

“……Are you okay?”

 

“Haa… haa…”

 

“…a sentence?”

 

“…Water.”

 

“I’ll get it!”

 

He glares at me with hard eyes, and I tumble down the stairs.

 

I took out some ice-cold spring water from the refrigerator, poured it into a glass and placed it on a tray, grabbed a towel from the changing room, and hurried back.

 

“……please”

 

“…Let me drink it.”

 

　Thinking it would be best not to resist, I brought the cup to my mouth, but he glared at me again as if to say, “That’s not right, is it?”

 

She is extremely clingy, and every move she makes is adorable.

 

He put some water in his mouth, leaned his face in close, and gave a happy grin.

 

“Hmmm… huh… not enough.”

 

“Even though the water is cold, it’s going to end up lukewarm.”

 

“Ah! You’re talking back? Haven’t you reflected on your actions? I’ve told you to stop so many times…”

 

“No, I’m not trying to talk back or anything… well, it’s alright. I wanted to kiss you,u too.”

 

I like feeding someone by mouth because it makes it feel kind of lovey-dovey.

 

It has a flirtatious feel, almost like an evolved version of “Aaan.”

 

In the end, I fed him water from my mouth until the cup was empty, and then we both lay on the bed, kissing each other nonchalantly until Mom came home.

 

“Koto is being so extravagant… Even though he has such a cute girlfriend, he still wants a beautiful woman like that.”　Bun grumbled while playing with my hair.

 

“I won’t let you feel insecure. Do you know how much I love you?”

 

“… Seriously… that’s not fair.”

 

“It can’t be helped,” Fumie said with a resigned look on her face as she laughed.

 

It was a kind, and slightly lonely-looking smile, but… I wonder if he accepted me.

 

“…It’s fine. I know I’ve said a lot of things, but I know Kawasaki-san is a good person…But I don’t think Kawasaki-san can stand it.”

 

“Thank you, Fumie. It’s okay, I’ll talk to you properly tomorrow.”

 

“I’ll go with you. There must be three of us.”

 

“…Yeah, that’s true.”

 

It’s not just a relationship between me and Kotone, but between the three of us, including Fumie.

 

“My aunt has come back, so I think it’s time to go home. It’s a little difficult to meet her…”

 

Fumie slowly got out of bed, put her denim jacket back on, and quickly smoothed her bangs.

 

“Well, see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Koto.”

 

“Good night, Fumie.”

 

With a final kiss, I see her off to the front door.

 

I sneakily opened the door so my mother wouldn’t notice and waved softly.

 

After seeing Fumie off, I returned to my room, jumped into bed, where the faint warmth and scent of Fumie still lingered, and took a deep breath.

 

Nothing will happen if you run away.

 

Use your smartphone to send a message to Kotone.

 

“I’ll be waiting for you at school tomorrow at nine o’clock.”

 

Kotone will come. She’ll read the message even if she doesn’t mark it as read.

 

…I won’t allow you to fall in love with someone else. Kotone is mine.
