Are We Going To Start Dating Now?

Saonji's eyes fluttered open, her long, white-silver lashes catching the morning light. Her eyelids lifted slowly, revealing those deep, red rubic eyes that immediately locked onto Kouhei.

"G-Good morning…" Kouhei stammered, his voice shaky as her gaze fixed on him.

Saonji seemed momentarily confused, her expression blank. But then, a flicker of realization crossed her face as she felt a lingering sensation between her legs. She sat up quickly, her body reacting to the dull ache in her groin, and everything from last night came rushing back to her.

"Good morning," she replied, her voice cold and detached, like nothing had changed. "What time is it?"

"Heh?" Kouhei blinked, still shaken.

"I said, what time is it?"

"Uh, it's about…" His eyes darted to the clock, and his stomach dropped. "—!?"

They only had 40 minutes before their first period started.

"T-This is bad, Saonji-san! We're going to be late!"

Panic surged through Kouhei. He was too focused on the time to process the gravity of last night. He urged Saonji to take a bath first, his mind racing with nothing but the thought of not missing class.

Saonji got up, moving toward the bathroom. As she stepped under the shower, the warm water cascading down her naked body, that lingering sensation in her groin sent faint tremors through her legs. Her knees wobbled slightly, the soreness between her thighs making her wince, but there was a strange satisfaction to it. Even though it hurt, it felt good in a way she couldn't ignore.

Meanwhile, Kouhei sat frozen, unable to relax. The full weight of what had happened hit him like a punch to the gut. His eyes fell on the bedsheet, where a bloodstain stood out vividly.

"I really… took her first time…"

Even though the night had passed and morning was now here, he was still in shock. This wasn't a dream. Everything that happened was real, no matter how much his brain wanted to deny it.

He pinched his cheek, hoping it would snap him out of it, but the sharp pain only confirmed what he already knew. It was real—every last second of it.

W-W-Wait, does this mean we're dating now? I mean, we did something that people who are dating usually do, right? But then again, there are times when people just have sex without dating. Maybe this is one of those times. But after everything that went down last night… I can't help but wonder if my dream of actually dating her might come true.

It's possible that last night was just Saonji wanting a one-night stand with someone who was also a virgin. That happens, right? People do that to feel like they've crossed into adulthood. They were in that awkward phase of transitioning to adulthood, so maybe she just wanted to feel like an adult now.

Maybe that's what pushed Saonji to do it.

But then again, Saonji isn't like most people. She said she's been alive for 50 years, which means she's probably older than that. And she's not human—she's a real succubus. That changes everything.

But I doubt it's going to be that simple... Kouhei thought, a wave of doubt washing over him.

He was just a regular guy—average in every sense. He had no special physical abilities, and he wasn't exactly good-looking either. By most standards, he was the definition of an otaku. Meanwhile, Saonji was famous, and on top of that, she was a succubus—something extraordinary.

I'm definitely getting ahead of myself.

And just like that, Kouhei's low self-esteem kicked in.

A few minutes later, Saonji emerged from the bathroom, completely naked, her pale skin still glistening with water droplets. The light from the window caught her figure, casting a soft glow on her smooth skin as Kouhei's eyes went wide, his breath catching in his throat.

"S-Saonji-san! P-Please don't just walk out without any clothes on!" he stammered.

"Why?" Saonji tilted her head, her crimson eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him.

"I-I mean… you're a girl…"

"And?" she replied, her tone calm, almost indifferent. "You've already seen my body… and touched it too. Why is it a problem now?"

Kouhei didn't know how to respond, but seeing her like this, completely bare, made him feel awkward. Sure, he had touched her body already, but that was when they were both caught in the heat of the moment. Now, everything felt so much more real.

"I smell arousal in you, Okumura Kouhei," Saonji said, her cold, piercing gaze locking onto him. "Do you want to do it again?"

His face flushed red. "We'll be late if we do that!" he practically shouted, his voice a mix of panic and embarrassment.

His face flushed red. "We'll be late if we do that!" he practically shouted, his voice a mix of panic and embarrassment.

After that little moment, Kouhei finally managed to slip away into the bathroom, quickly jumping into the shower. The hot water did little to stop the intrusive thoughts about last night. He could still feel the warmth of her body, the softness of her skin, and no matter how much he tried to push it out of his head, his dick kept twitching in response.

"Calm down," he muttered to himself, forcing his mind to focus on anything else. After what felt like an eternity, he managed to get his erection under control, his body finally calming down.

Once he finished, he stepped out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist. Saonji was waiting for him, already dressed in her school uniform. Seeing her standing there, fully clothed, somehow made everything feel even more intense, like the reality of last night had finally set in.

"W-Why are you still here, Saonji-san? You could've gone ahead without me, you know?"

"I wanted to wait for you, Okumura Kouhei," she replied, her tone as emotionless as ever.

But that flat, indifferent tone was doing all kinds of things to Kouhei's heart. His chest tightened, and his pulse quickened. She's so bad for my heart, he thought. Even though her voice barely carried any emotion, the effect on him was huge.

They left the apartment together and started making their way to school. It wasn't too far, but with how late it already was, it would still take them at least twenty minutes to get there—enough time for them to definitely be late.

As they walked, Saonji suddenly broke the silence. "By the way, Okumura Kouhei."

"W-What is it, Saonji-san?" Kouhei asked.

"Are we going to start dating now?" she asked.
