Not long after, a soft knock came at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I’m coming in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened slowly, and Aoi stepped inside, closing it gently behind her. She stood there for a moment, her hands clasped in front of her, her eyes fixed on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched her carefully. \"So? What’s this surprise of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, then stepped closer. \"It’s... not something I can just hand you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quirked an eyebrow. \"Oh? Now I’m really curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoi’s face flushed, her fingers tightening around the fabric of her uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s something important. Something I’ve saved for someone special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My smirk widened slightly. \"And who might that be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, her dark blue eyes locking onto mine with an intensity I hadn’t seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you, Alex,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was... unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoi reached out, her trembling fingers brushing against my hand before intertwining with mine. I could feel how fast her heart was beating just from the way her grip tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m giving myself to you,\" she continued, voice barely above a whisper. \"All of me. My heart, my body, my soul... everything I am is yours, if you’ll have me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in a long while, I was caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had expected Aoi to be the strict, no-nonsense type—to scold me for teasing, to huff in irritation, and stomp away. But this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This straightforwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was raw. This was desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Shinobu and Mitsuri hadn’t asked me for something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I studied her face. There was no hesitation in her eyes, only unwavering determination. And something else—something obsessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoi,\" I started, but she cut me off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s more,\" she said quickly, as if afraid I’d turn her down. \"If I give myself to you fully and completely, I need you to promise me something in return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I narrowed my eyes slightly. \"What kind of promise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to promise that you’ll come back to this and you won’t forget this.\" Her grip on my hands tightened even more, her nails pressing into my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the women who had gotten close to me, none had ever demanded something like that. As they know I will come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why is she acting like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly I heard Death’s voice: \"Maybe because Lupus teased her and told her that you will never return to this world after you leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it seems I need to thank Lupus later. She is such a good maid for supporting me in my dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a slow breath, taking in the weight of her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoi...\" I said again, softer this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t let go. Instead, she stepped even closer, her forehead nearly touching mine, her warm breath fanning against my lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not saying anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air between us felt charged, filled with tension so thick I could almost feel it pressing against my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire body was trembling, but not out of fear. This was something she had decided. Something she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to be careful with my next words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if I took her now, there would be no turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t the kind of man who took responsibility lightly. And Aoi—she wasn’t just looking for a temporary connection. She wanted something permanent. Something unbreakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I agreed, if I took what she was offering, she would never let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would become mine in every way possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if I left without fulfilling my promise, I had no doubt she would chase me down—even across worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could practically feel her desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes for a brief moment, exhaling softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Aoi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at me, waiting, hanging onto my every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smirked. \"You really are bold when you want to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned an even deeper shade of red, but she didn’t look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lifted a hand, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" I murmured. \"I’ll make that promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoi sucked in a shaky breath, her eyesglistening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll come back,\" I continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet, relieved laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled her into a gentle embrace, feeling her melt against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can join my Patreon for 3$.
