The wind had settled, leaving only the gentle rustle of petals underfoot and the warmth of the afternoon sun casting a soft glow over the bench where Shin sat with his new lovers. Aiko, to his left, looked calm and dreamy, while Yuki, to his right, was pretending not to blush even as his ears burned scarlet.
Shin stretched his arms out behind the bench with a satisfied sigh, leaning his head back to soak in the moment.
"Man," he said lazily. "That was a really sweet kiss earlier…"
Aiko's eyes sparkled softly as she smiled.
Yuki flinched. "Don't start."
"I'm just saying…" Shin tilted his head to the side, eyes half-lidded as he looked between them. "Kissing you both made my whole body feel warm."
Yuki crossed his arms. "Gross."
"You didn't seem grossed out at the time." Shin smirked. "You were squirming in my hands, remember?"
Yuki's whole face went red. "T-that's because you were being inappropriate!"
Shin turned to Aiko, who was doing a terrible job hiding her giggle behind her hand. "And you, Haa-Chan… you melted in my arms. I barely touched your cheek and you were already leaning in."
"I couldn't help it," Aiko whispered, cheeks turning pink. "You looked at me like you were going to devour me."
He raised a brow. "I still might."
"Taa-Kun…"
Yuki gave an exaggerated sigh. "Do you ever stop being shameless?"
"Nope." Shin turned back to him. "Especially not when I've got my adorable tsundere boyfriend and my beautiful Haa-Chan sitting on either side."
"I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND," Yuki shouted, fists clenched.
"You're right." Shin leaned closer, grinning wickedly. "You're my girlfriend today."
Yuki looked like he was going to combust. "You're going to die—!"
Shin poked his cheek. "Still soft."
Yuki slapped his hand away with a tiny growl but didn't let go of his other hand. "You're impossible."
Shin turned back to Aiko and tilted his head. "But seriously, I was thinking…"
"Hmm?"
He leaned closer, lowering his voice. "I want another kiss."
Aiko blinked, then blushed. "You… want one now?"
"Yep. From you."
Her eyes darted to Yuki, who was pretending not to listen.
"Right here?"
"Right now."
She hesitated for half a second — and then leaned in slowly, eyes fluttering shut.
Shin met her halfway.
This kiss was slower than before. Softer. Their lips molded together like they were memorizing each other's warmth. Aiko whimpered slightly into his mouth, clutching his shirt as Shin tilted his head and deepened it, holding her cheek gently.
When they finally parted, Aiko's breath caught, her eyes hazy and lips glistening.
Shin brushed her bangs back. "Still perfect…"
Aiko leaned her head on his shoulder with a dreamy sigh. "You're going to ruin me, Taa-Kun."
"I'm already ruined by you," he whispered, kissing her forehead.
Yuki looked away, arms tight over his chest. "…Pathetic."
Shin turned with a smirk. "Jealous again?"
"Of that? Pfft. As if."
"Oh really?" Shin leaned in close. "Because I'm thinking I need to even things out."
Yuki stiffened. "D-Don't."
Shin was already brushing his thumb along Yuki's chin. "Come on… just one more kiss."
"I-I didn't even want the first one!"
"But your lips did," Shin teased.
"I swear I'll bite you—!"
"Promise?"
Yuki blushed so hard he nearly slid off the bench.
Shin chuckled and reached behind Yuki's neck, gently guiding his face forward. "I'll be soft this time. Gentle."
"You weren't rough last time!" Yuki snapped.
"Good," Shin said, lips just a breath away now. "So you remember it."
Yuki groaned — then gasped softly as Shin kissed him again.
It was slower this time, like Shin had promised. Yuki didn't squirm, didn't resist. He just let himself be kissed, his hands trembling slightly in his lap. His eyelashes fluttered, and for a brief moment, he kissed back — just barely — before pulling away in a tiny gasp.
"Sh-Shin…"
"See?" Shin smiled. "Even cuter when you're honest."
Yuki covered his mouth with the sleeve of his school uniform. "I hate you."
"You love me."
"I hate you!"
Shin laughed, then leaned over and kissed his forehead too.
Yuki's hands trembled. He stayed frozen, stunned, as if unsure whether to scream or bury his face in Shin's chest.
Aiko giggled from the other side, reaching across Shin's chest to ruffle Yuki's white hair. "You're adorable, Yuki-chan."
"Don't touch me like I'm some plush toy!"
"You are a plush toy," Shin added. "Mine."
Yuki glared at both of them, but even that couldn't mask the heat in his cheeks or the trembling in his voice. "I said I'll share you, but if you keep doing this, I'm going to… to…"
"To what?" Shin teased.
Yuki opened his mouth, then shut it. "To sulk. Really hard."
Shin cracked up laughing, and Aiko joined him, her face lit with delight.
The tension between them had shifted now — no longer brittle and uncertain, but warm and teasing, like something new was blooming right there under the sakura trees.
"I want more," Shin said softly after they calmed down.
Yuki looked like he was about to throw something. "MORE?!"
"Kisses."
"Y-you got one from both of us!"
"Not enough."
Aiko giggled, brushing her hair back. "You're going to kiss us into fainting…"
"Then I'll catch you when you fall."
Yuki's eye twitched. "Who even talks like that…"
Shin leaned toward Aiko again. "One more for the road?"
Her face lit up. "You're so greedy…"
"And?"
"…I love that about you," she whispered.
He kissed her again. This one was briefer, but with a slow drag at the end that made her whimper into his mouth. When they parted, her face was flushed and dazed.
Shin turned to Yuki.
Yuki was already backing away. "No. No way. You got yours."
"But I want more you, too."
"I'm not candy you can snack on, idiot!"
"You taste better than candy."
Yuki groaned into his hands. "I'm dying."
"Then die into my arms," Shin teased, pulling him close.
Yuki struggled weakly, but it was too late. Shin pressed another kiss to his lips, quick and hot. Yuki gasped, then sagged a little, his body trembling.
"…Fine," he mumbled. "But you only get three a day."
"Three?" Shin smirked. "I'm already at five."
"Wha—! YOU'RE COUNTING?!"
Shin laughed as Yuki flailed. Aiko leaned against his side again, her eyes closed in contentment.
"Do we… really get to keep doing this?" she asked softly. "All of us?"
"If you want me," Shin whispered, "then I'm yours."
Yuki mumbled under his breath, "…You're such a dork."
"And you love me."
"I tolerate you."
"Love."
"Shut up."
Aiko smiled, eyes misty. "I love you, Taa-Kun."
Shin looked at both of them.
"I love you too. Both of you. So much it hurts."
