Chapter 122: First Date (1)

"Good morning, husband."

Akane greeted me as soon as my eyes opened. She's already out of her sleepwear, did I oversleep?

Her golden hair that was usually undone was tied into a bun and an apron was draped over her body.

Did she just finish cooking?

It's a new day and Akane was beaming an excited smile. Today is our date, I already planned everything except for dinner. Well, it's not exactly planned. I'm also new to this so we'll go where our feet go.

"Good morning, what time is it?"

After sharing our morning kiss, I asked Akane.

After spending the time with Miwa-nee last night, I walked her back to their room. In the end, we only satisfied our lust for each other. I liked it, yes. But soon, I want her to open up to me to share everything she doesn't want to tell me.

When I went back to our room, Akane woke up and we talked in length about how I couldn't get Miwa-nee to open up to me. That continued until I fell asleep snuggling to her.

"Half-past eight. Come down now, Haruko, Miwa-nee and Minoru are waiting."

She pulled me up by the arm. She's really in a good mood today, it's because of our date right?

But I really overslept. It's probably because of how tired I was yesterday. I lost count how many times I did it with them. Starting from the morning with Yae and Akane. Then with Aya after PE and at night starting from Otoha and ending it with Miwa-nee.

Restraint. Haa.

But it's really hard to hold myself back for them.

"Looking at you, you cooked for us, wife?"

After standing up, we went out of the room together with her sticking close to me. All that's left was for her to ask me to carry her.

"I suddenly thought that you would wake up soon so I left it for Haruko to finish."

Eh? Akane? Do you really have a gadget that not only detects my presence but also monitors whether I am asleep or awake?

"I'm really glad you two never clash like with Yae."

Well, it was partly because of me. I knew Yae wanted to do something for me but since there's nothing yet, I ended up neglecting her.

"But I'm more afraid of Haruko than Yae. Her attitude and demeanor scream housewife..."

Akane's voice trailed as she described Haruko. 

"Oh? Actually, she expressed how she wanted me to marry her as well. She's not trying to compete, she wants the same position as you."

Marrying the two of them. Ah, maybe not just the two. That's something I need to prepare for the future.

"Will I still be special if you also marry her?"

When she asked that, I could feel her worry. The position she managed to get will be shared. That's a needless worry though, even if I marry everyone that doesn't change that she's the most special.

"Of course. You'll always be."

I stopped walking and turned to face her. We're already about to descend the stairs but this girl needs another reminder so she wouldn't worry about this again. I'll keep reminding her until she fully accepts it.

She's the one who understands me the most but at these times, she always forgets the words I had told her. No matter what happens, she'll be the most special.

Pushing her inside my previous room, the bed was neatly arranged and it still has the scent of what transpired here last night.

"Akane, you can come here anytime you want. But no one else can set foot in our room besides the two of us "

I hugged her from the back as she took in the state of my previous room.

This was where we first slept together after years of neglecting her. She basically forced herself in here to sleep with me but that night where I held her in my arms once again became a fond memory to me after remembering my love for her.

"Un. No matter what happens, I'll be your most special."

Muttering those words, Akane turned to me and hugged me back.

Her worries weren't unfounded anyway. Anyone will feel the same if they're in the same position as her. I'll use this day to let her feel those words and not just hear it from me or from her memory of me saying that to her.

When we arrived at the dining table the breakfast was already arranged by Haruko and Miwa-nee, they all waited for me to wake up so that we could eat together. Haruko was beaming with happiness which she rarely shows in front of others but I guess that's the effect of last night.

And Miwa-nee, though she still seems down, she wouldn't show that in front of Minoru.

After we're done eating breakfast, I told them our plans for today. When I mentioned the Amusement Park, Minoru's eyes lit up as he stood up and declared he also wanted to come with us.

Though Miwa-nee scolded him for being wily, Akane agreed to take him with us. It's supposed to be our date but since Akane agreed, I followed suit. Taking the boy with us to the Amusement Park to enjoy it as well will not only ease Miwa-nee but also please Akane.

She's really fond of Minoru that even if he somehow bullied her in that console game, she still kept playing with him.

By agreeing to take Minoru with us, Miwa-nee can finally relax for half a day.

Well, since our date wouldn't end in just the Amusement Park, Miwa-nee will pick up Minoru before we go to the theater and the hotel. The house will be left to Miwa-nee for the day. I told her to treat this as her day-off and we'll take care of Minoru.

It's great that I didn't make a date plan in which rides we will go to in order to enjoy the Amusement Park. Akane told me that we'll let Minoru decide what we will ride. Since he's still a kid, we wouldn't be able to get on any thrill rides but I guess that's for the best.

After finalizing everything, I had them prepare first since I still have something to do first.

It was to escort Haruko to the train station.

On the way, Haruko teased me about not telling her that we were going on a date. It seemed she planned to stay until the night before going home.

It's Saturday after all, and she already told her parents where she was, though it's a lie, they wouldn't worry about her not coming home early.

Well, it's already planned so I told her I'll spend more time with her on her next stay over.

Err.. like Akane and Yae, she also requested for a kiss before getting on. I anticipated that so I pulled her on a corner to give her what she wanted.

I escorted her up to the train platform and after seeing the train departs only then did I go back home

It was already 10 o'clock when we departed from home. Miwa-nee couldn't help but worry for Minoru, this will be the first time they will separate for half a day since she gave birth to him.

All this time, she was always with her son. Taking him with us was really a good decision. Not only will she have time to relax, but she will also have time to think about things.

I thanked Akane for that but she just shook her head as she happily took Minoru's right hand. Putting the boy in between us, we looked like a family. And when a passerby commented that word, Akane couldn't help but blush.

She imagined us in the future, with our son or daughter, walking like this together.

The Amusement Park is located in a business district a bit far from here, it will be a train ride that will last for an hour. It's Saturday so there are also others who have the same destination as us.

During the train ride, Minoru was too excited that he kept trying to run off somewhere. I thought of scolding him but Akane stopped me. Instead of scolding him, Akane told him a story that scared the wits out of the kid which made him cower in between us.

When the other passengers saw that, they couldn't help but smile at us then praised Akane. We're still young so they thought Minoru's my little brother and Akane, my girlfriend. They commented on how the girlfriend could handle the little brother better than his older brother. Those comments made Akane happy as she clung to me while patting Minoru's head.

After an hour, we finally got out of the station and soon the Amusement Park appeared before us.

After waiting in line for 15 minutes, we finally got our turn to buy the tickets and enter the park.

Just from the entrance, Minoru's eyes lit up as a number of mascots were performing for the children not far away from it.

Akane saw that and she urged me to come with them.

Err… her eyes also lit up upon seeing the mascots. That girl is still a child at heart. It has been a long time since we went here and if both of them can enjoy it then that's great.

I followed after them and watched the show.

Eh no, it's more like I watch over the two of them enjoying the show.

Watching them be like that was more enjoyable than any rides or mascots.

This was supposed to be our first date but with the addition of Minoru, I guess it became a family day.
