Chapter 37

It was after school, but Yuriko and Takeru were already returning home since it was the week before midterms, and that meant that all club activities were canceled for the week, including the student council activities so that the students could focus on their studies

"Nee, Takeru. Are you ready for your midterms?"

"I think so, I'll make sure to cram the day before the tests"

"I see... Then do you want me to help you study for tests this week, Takeru?"

"Hmm... I think I'll pa-"

"We are going to study together, aren't we? Ta~ke~ru~"

Yuriko showed Takeru her usual intimidating smiling face, as she said that

"Y-yes"

Due to that Takeru who was initially going to pass on her offer, stepped back as he gave in to Yuriko's demand

"Great! Then when we return to your apartment, we'll start studying right away"

"Eh?! We're going to star-"

"Yes, we're going to start studying today. Do you have a problem with it, Takeru?"

"N-no..."

"Good"

And once again, Ichiro gave in to Yuriko's demand as she showed him an intimidating smile, which was so effective that Takeru even looked away with a blue face

-

30 minutes later

-

After returning to the apartment building, Yuriko first returned to her apartment to change clothes, and get some of the materials for the midterms tests subjects, after that she went over to Takeru's apartment

"Alright, Takeru. Let's start our study group!"

"Yes... *Sigh*... !"

As Takeru felt dejected as he opened his math book, he noticed that Yuriko was wearing the glasses he had bought for her on their first date. And of course, Yuriko noticed him looking at her

"Do you need something, Takeru?"

"No..."

Takeru looked down at his math book to avoid looking at Yuriko, but unfortunately for him, Yuriko had a playful smile on her face

"Hee... You're not even going to praise how I'm looking with these glasses that you bought for me?"

"... ... ... They look good on you"

Takeru initially tried to stay silent, but in the end, he ended up saying what Yuriko wanted to hear as his cheeks turned slightly red

"Fufu. Thank you, Takeru"

With that, the two started studying, eventually, Yuriko noticed that Takeru was having a problem with a question

"Do you need help, Takeru?"

"No"

"Is that so?"

"Yes"

"If you say so... But if you answer it wrongly, I'll ask you a question that you can only answer with honesty"

"Eh?!"

"Why the surprise? Didn't you say that you could answer it alone, Takkun?"

At hearing Yuriko saying that in a very playful tone, Takeru made a cute angry face toward her

"I'll show you that I can answer it!"

"Okay!~"

And Takeru started solving the math question he was having a hard time with... And his final answer was wrong

" "..." "

The two looked at his answer in silence, Yuriko had a troubled smile while Takeru was angrily pouting as he blushed from talking big and failing afterward

"Alright, Takeru. You got the answer wrong so you'll have to answer me honestly!"

"... Fine..."

"Then Takeru... Do you have a glasses fetish?"

"?!... E-erm... W-Well... Y-You see... ... ... Yes..."

"I see... Then another question, Takeru!"

"Didn't you say it was only one?!"

"Hmm? Did I?"

Yuriko acted as if she didn't know what he was talking about, before continuing with her question

"So do you want me to use these glasses more often in front of you, Takeru?"

"... ... ... Yes..."

"Good, and now to the final question!"

"Huh?!"

"Do you love me, Takeru?"

"Eh?... Y-yes, I do"

At his answer, Yuriko gently as she inclined her head to the side, and said...

"Wrong answer~"

"Haa!?"

Yuriko then moved to hug one of Takeru's arms, before she repeated her question

"Again, Takeru. Do you love me"

"O-Of course, I do!"

"Wrong answer!"

"Eeeeh?!"

"For answering wrong a second time, you'll receive a punishment!"

"Eh?! Uwah!"

Then right after Yuriko said that she pushed him down, and pinned Takeru between her and the floor

"Last chance, Takeru. Do you love me?"

"... ... ... I-I d-do lo-love you... Yuriko..."

"..."

Yuriko stayed quiet as she smiled at Takeru after he gave his last answer

"Ding ding ding! You got the right answer, Takeru! Now here's your reward!"

Yuriko then gave Takeru a pretty passionate kiss on the lips that went on for two whole minutes, before she stopped to ask Takeru...

"So Takeru, do you want to study or for me to keep kissing you?"

"... Study..."

"..."

At hearing his answer, Yuriko pouted in response

"Then because I didn't like your answer, I'll kiss you even more now"

"Hey! That's not- Mmmmnnnnfffffhhhhh!"

Yuriko silenced Takeru before he could finish his sentence with a very passionate kiss on his lips. She kept kissing him for more than five minutes before she decided that she already had enough fun with Takeru... For now. So they went back to properly studying for the tests

-

About an hour later

-

"..."

"... That answer is wrong, Takeru"

"Huh? How?"

"Here, let me show you"

Yuriko went to Takeru's side and began explaining how to solve the question

"... *Nods* That's right, Takeru. Your answer is correct"

"T-Thank for the help, Yuriko..."

"No biggie"

And Yuriko went back to where she was sitting before

"..." *Fidgeting*

"..."

"..." *Fidgeting*

"... Do you want me to give you a reward for answering right, Takeru?"

"! ... *Looks away* ... ... ... Yes..."

"Okay, then..."

Yuriko then pulled Takeru for a tight embrace as she petted his hair

"There, there... Good work there"

"*Muguuu*..."

But instead of satisfying him, that only made Takeru pout with an angry face

"..." <Sorry, Takeru. But if I start kissing you now, I probably won't be able to stop anytime soon>

Yuriko could perfectly guess what Takeru actually wanted, but she decided to hold back for now. After rewarding him, the two yet again went back to studying, with Yuriko occasionally helping Takeru with the questions he had the most problems with

-

Some hours later

-

"Hnnnnnggggrrrrrr!... Whew! This was productive, don't you think so Takeru?"

"Yeah... It was..."

Takeru scratched one of his cheeks as he blushed a little, on him, it was also possible to see a few red marks on his neck and nape

"Alright, now Takeru..."

"?... ?!"

Yuriko got up, went towards Takeru, and picked him up in a princess carry

"It's time for me to pamper you to my heart's content, then after let's have dinner and... ... ...I wanted to say let's take a bath together, but it's too soon for that, isn't it?... Well, after each of us takes a bath, it'll be more Takeru pampering time!"

"What about my opinion on that?!"

"Don't you want me to pamper you?"

"... ... ... I also want to pamper you, Yuriko-baka..."

"Ah..."

When Takeru said that, both of their faces turned bright red as they fell silent

"W-well, I think we can discuss that as I pamper you!"

And Yuriko tried to hide her embarrassment by saying that
