Chapter-20: Boy's talk

3rd POV

"*Yawn* Yesterday night was so good," Akira said, getting up from the bed.

"Yeah! It is the best day of my life so far! I want to turn back time so that I can experience that soothing and experience the moment again " Lotus told Akira in a dreamy tone.

"We can always do that again whenever we want, we are legal adults you know, " Akira told her.

"Yeah, Darling~. But I can't help but....worry that I might accidentally hurt you again. Lotus said with worried eyes.

"I would worry about you.....if I were you...You know " Akira told her.

"What do you mean dear?" Lotus asked him curiously and confused by what he meant.

"You have to live if you ever wanted to save me, or spend time with me. Without taking proper care of yourself, how can you take proper care of others, especially me who is a troublemaker and mischievous " Akira told her?

"I...I will do it for you...P-Please don't leave me...I don't want to be alone again " Lotus tightly hugged Akira while letting out tears from her sore eyes on his chest.

"I will not leave you lotus.....That I promise " Akira told her.

"Lotus...

You may be a succubus and a weird girl.

But I really enjoyed my time with you...

You don't have to worry about anyone else's words when I have you by my side.

So... " Akira told her.

"I want to live your life as if you have nothing to worry about.

Listen I am not going anywhere and there is no need for you to panic yourself and waste time on thinking unnecessary details " Akira told him

"A-Akira I-I " Lotus muttered while feeling the intent in his words. It really made her respect him more and become more attached to him by his motivational words.

"You need to learn to live for yourself. I prefer a cheerful lotus over a depressed lotus. " Akira told her.

"A-Akira b-but, " Lotus said

"But I can't live without you...Even the thought of it scares me.....and I feel so weak in the legs....when I think about that...I rather commit suicide than to live a life without y- " Lotus is interrupted by Akira's tight slap on her butt.

"Ah~ Akira don't be naughty now~ Or can't control me ~ Huhu~ " Lotus giggled in an embarrassed manner trying her best to resist herself.

"Don't ever talk about suicide anymore...Don't even mention the thought again. Who will give me free cuddles at night, and who will give me free kisses, free lunches, and free lap pillows. And who will be my wife in the future and who will have my kids " Akira told her without a shred of remorse in his life. He had actually managed to talk with a straight face.

Typical Akira being daring without concern about how things will play out and how he will face the consequences of his actions. It doesn't matter if it's a crazy girl or a tsundere, Akira will always say what he means to say. That boldness is appreciable even if it attracts trouble for him.

Even then he is clever and cunning enough to overcome each trouble he faces. Akira, who looks like a 12-year-old kid with no sense of composure, has a hidden side within him that is unknown to no one.

No one in the world knows how he is without the mask, and no one knows how much a deceiver and trickster he is.

Akira knows he can't stay here long and misses his daily life so he got up.

"I wish I couldn't spend all day with you, but I have to leave and attend the classes...So...

Tata" Akira told her in a childish fashion.

"Ah, no *Mpmh," Lotus said in disappointment before she was replied with a kiss on the lips by Akira. They both kissed each other and hugged while interlinking their fingers with each other.

And Akira's childish nature and attitude are a way of preserving his childish nature even in adulthood. Unlike in his last time, this time he wants to bring out the childish creative side of him.

He knows an attitude like that attracts trouble and he will attract the wrong people's attention. But it's what he wants in the end.

Akira is a naturalized socialite who wants to be popular and be a social icon. So it's natural he chose his childish persona and cute guy persona to have admiration of his own. He is a reckless guy with a childish ego in him. The ego that he can do whatever he wants, not the ego that he owns the place.....Because the world is his place, in which he lives.

That's basically a small portion of his inner mind. His mind and lore is a world that needs to be explored vastly before understanding it.

"I am going to the class, see you there," Akira told her.

"Bye Darling~, " Lotus said with a heartfelt smile on her face.

It seems like Lotus is taking out a break due to her not being able to move her body after yesterday.

<Timeskip>

"How does she get a free day while I have to go to classes...It's okay though I only go for attendance to classes " Akira replied

"Akira we all know that's a lie, your grades speak about your dedication to classes," Nicholes told him.

"Those grades refer to my performance from last week's performance, now I don't have any interest in class," Akira told them in an honest tone.

"Liar, I don't believe you. HMPH " Eric said to him in a disapproving tone. He clearly didn't believe him.

"What a bunch of jerks, turning back on their own friend," Akira told them.

"Can't you praise your cheerful innocent friend here? " Akira asked them.

"I am still mad that you have put some crabs in my clothes " Nicholes exclaimed in a disapproving tone.

"I haven't forgotten the incident where you have stolen my shirt and wore it off to the class," Eric said with a slightly pissed face.

She is mad for different reason other than him just stealing his things. It's a wonder what might be it.

"Sorry, about that I couldn't find my shirt so I picked yours as a last-minute resort," Akira told him

"What do you want me to do, walk with underwear on in your room, " Akira told him trying to reason with him

"T-That's embarrassing " Eric replied with a blush on his face.

"What's wrong with that, we are all guys here " Nicholes replied, confused by Eric's statement.

"Maybe Eric came out of the closet~ " Akira told him.

"Akira, stop. It is definitely more weird seeing a naked guy than not seeing one " Eric told him.

"Still I am not convinced. And I have seen you hiding your lockers with a lock and you hid all your clothes in a large trunk " Akira told her.

"I don't believe that you aren't hiding any magazines behind it, " Akira told her.

"Do you see m-magazines Akira? I thought you were a prude, I didn't expect you to know about it. You looked so innocent " Eric told Akira.

"What's a magazine? " Nicholes asked dumbfounded by the information.

"A-Ah! It's a book with f-full of girls " Eric tried his best to hide the real information but he didn't want to be dishonest towards Nicholes.

Eric is already hiding a lot from his friends

"Who would care about some books with girls on it. Never knew, Akira likes seeing it " Nicholes exclaimed.

"I rather do practical stuff with women than to look at those boring books," Akira said him.

Steam runs in Eric's head and he is completely blushing and he can't take it anymore.

"Akira.....Never knew you...were ....that kind of guy " Eric told him.

"I am balanced in every aspect of life. Only us guys can understand the meaning of having some kids for ourselves right. Some pretty cute kids, you know " Akira told them.

Eric nodded in a shy manner. While Nicholes nodded in a thoughtful manner. They left for the classroom without wasting any further time. Their break time has ended.
