Mash-Up: Anything for Money

"Behave~"

"No!"

Yotsuba was firm in her decision. She rarely went against Hakuto, but today was an exception.

It seemed that what Miku and Itsuki had said about making Yotsuba sleep outside had really affected her.

"Boss... this is a bit tricky. If we don't offer any conditions and don't open the door, are we really going to lock them outside?" Hakuto smiled and furrowed his brow, asking.

Their faces were still very close, and it seemed Yotsuba had grown used to this, no longer embarrassed.

"Miku and Itsuki said that if I run too slow, I'll be locked outside..." Yotsuba looked at her fingers, looking unhappy.

"Seriously..."

Although he didn't hear it himself, Hakuto could guess that this was meant as a joke.

Hakuto tilted his head slightly and looked at Yotsuba, still wearing a calm smile.

"Hakuto-sensei... you really smell nice!"

"I told you, it's the scent of the shower gel..."

"Really? Really? Can I...?"

Before Yotsuba could say anything else, she saw Hakuto's face getting closer to hers.

Her pupils shrank, and her body froze. It seemed like she already knew what was about to happen.

And then, unconsciously, Hakuto's lips gently pressed against hers, soft and tender, like a feather brushing against her.

The kiss was light, but full of passion, as if their souls were connecting in a whispered murmur.

Yotsuba could feel the warmth coming from Hakuto's body, fresh from his shower, and even his lips were hot.

He leaned in, and she responded, love blooming between them.

Her tongue seemed to be enveloped by his, surrounded by warm white air.

After a long while, their lips parted.

"You didn't even say anything, just kissed me like that..." Yotsuba swallowed lightly, though she wasn't entirely sure whether it was her own or his heart racing.

"Now, is Yotsuba going to behave?"

"Mm..." Yotsuba nodded slightly, unsure of what to say, only responding with a soft hum.

"Then Yotsuba, you should go take a shower."

"But I don't have any clothes or sleepwear..."

Hakuto was actually thinking of going to Nao's room to grab some clothes, since their body types weren't too different.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it. It wasn't necessary.

"Yotsuba can go to my room and find something, see if there's anything you can wear."

"Wow! Wear Hakuto-sensei's clothes?"

"Although the shirt might be a bit big, it's an emergency, so you'll have to make do."

"Find clothes~ find clothes~ (￣▽￣～)~"

Yotsuba didn't seem to hear the part about making do and happily ran into Hakuto's room to look for clothes.

To her, wearing Hakuto's clothes didn't seem like a problem at all.

"Hehe! Hakuto-sensei's clothes! Hakuto-sensei's scent!"

Outside the door...

"Hiss~ I have a bad feeling about this."

"Bad feeling? I've had that feeling since Yotsuba accelerated."

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!!"

Nino kept sending messages to Hakuto.

"Hakuto-sensei is probably negotiating with Yotsuba now, right?" Itsuki asked tentatively.

"Isn't it because Nino said something about locking us outside that Yotsuba acted like this...?"

"Hah? Blame me?" Nino pointed to herself. "Yotsuba and I are together, so logically, she should be locking you three outside."

"Besides, it was all just a joke..."

Just as Nino finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the door, and the door, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.

"I'll say it first, it's not that I didn't want to open the door..."

"Hakuto..."

Miku embraced Hakuto, who was opening the door, like a wife welcoming her husband home after work.

"Hakuto-sensei, if you didn't open the door, Nino might have climbed over the wall."

"Hah? When did I say that?" Nino raised an eyebrow. "No, the point is Yotsuba, who didn't say a word and locked us outside."

"Isn't it because of your big mouth, Nino?"

"You four should just eat instant noodles from now on! Especially Yotsuba!"

"I feel... Nino's not just talking..."

"Isn't she? Where's Yotsuba?"

The four looked around the living room but didn't see Yotsuba.

However, just then, Yotsuba appeared, holding a white shirt, walking out of Hakuto's room.

"Hakuto-sensei! This shirt fits perfectly, it covers me completely!"

Although it was winter, and sleeping in just a shirt was a bit cold, the air conditioner running all night helped alleviate this.

But the moment Yotsuba, holding the shirt, saw the four in the living room, her face froze.

(゜ロ゜)... Huh?
