Stealing a moment inside the clubroom (1)

Picking the clubroom for the Girls Basketball Club, Ryouko-san brought me inside and immediately turned around the moment the door closed behind us.

“Ruki-kun,” She started, her face a mix of both concern and delight as she reached for my cheek, cupping my cheek gently.

My body reacted by wrapping my arms around her, pulling her into my embrace. Ryouko-san’s eyes, which were usually sharp and authoritative in front of the class, softened as she allowed herself to be enclosed within. There was even a hint of excitement as if she had been waiting for it for a long time.

“You’re not missing a beat, huh?” She giggled softly as she pressed her forehead against mine, surrendering in my embrace.

Her warm breath brushed against my lips as the scent of her perfume filled the space between us. The gymnasium was already quiet, leaving just the two of us in this clubroom.
