Without realizing it due to the overwhelming sense of stability and pleasure from the pheromone transfer, the student's body starts moving on its own. Before he even registers the reality of the situation, he leans forward slightly and pushes Kazuki onto the bed, ending up on top of him.
At that moment, the beastman breaks the kiss and looks at Rei in surprise, realizing that the student isn't satisfied with just this "small demonstration" of this transfer method.
Not missing the opportunity right in front of him, the boy quickly declares in a provocative tone:
— I apologize for this as well. — After saying that, the student on top of Kazuki, kisses him again, this time with a certain aggressiveness, biting his lower lip, —but with moderation.
He then slides his hands under the beastman's shirt, and his fingers begin moving wildly across his entire body, savoring the sensation of his muscles as they trace every curve…
Everything happens so fast that Kazuki doesn't even react. He ends up giving in, unable to resist the temptation and the adrenaline coursing through his body.
Kazuki's expression shifts as he feels the touches; his eyes appear slightly dazed as he struggles to catch his breath between small gasps. The same goes for his tongue, which becomes more careless, lost in the feeling and heat of the moment.
For a moment his mind screams at him, and the thought comes spontaneously: ''stop this, he's in heat''. But his body says otherwise: ''go on, keep going, it's fine...''
At that moment, the student leans back slightly, breaking the kiss to catch his breath.
— That was really good — the boy comments briefly, running a hand through his hair with a satisfied expression.
"I must be going crazy… He's in heat, what am I doing? I can't continue, but I can't stop him either…" Kazuki thinks, unable to take his eyes off Rei.
— You're really… hot, you know. Not to mention, you're exactly my type — Rei adds, not missing the chance to flirt.
— I've been wanting to do that for a while. Like, you know, touch your body, feel your biceps, your abs...
And then the boy says more and more embarrassing things, making Kazuki completely nervous and ashamed. Deep down, he knows that Rei wouldn't say those things if he wasn't under the effects of the heat.
— Well, this is a new feeling that I'm not used to. It's weird… I feel something running through me, and I don't really understand all of this, you know?
Saying this, Rei notices that his vision starts to clear up. What was once slightly blurred is now normal, a little sharper. His breathing also returns to normal, stabilizing.
He realizes that the effects of the heat are gradually diminishing and ends up commenting on it to his companion: — I think I'm getting better, but I wish...
Before he can finish speaking, his mind suddenly shuts down and he collapses beside the beastman. Worried by the scene, Kazuki rushes to check what happened, but he quickly realizes that Rei has only passed out and is sleeping soundly.
— Did he faint? Or just fallen asleep? Maybe it's a side effect of the heat, I'm not sure. Anyway, he seems peaceful now.
"That was really dangerous. I almost did more with him... I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I had.
"But his lips were so soft, and his tongue felt so good, that I ended up crossing the line."
"Thinking about it now, his heat was intense. Does that mean he really wanted to touch my muscles?"
Still lost in thought, the beastman stands up and moves Rei to the other side of the bed. A short time later, he lies down next to him and falls asleep as well.
"But I wish that...? What was he going to say after that?"
He wonders, just before darkness takes over and he closes his eyes.

[Late Morning]
When the student wakes up in the morning, the first thing he does is instinctively place his hands on his head after feeling an inexplicable pain as if his skull were being split in two.
As he tries to regain full consciousness, he notices from a distance the presence of Mia and Takayo, who are also awake, standing near the room's fireplace, talking about something.
"What the hell happened last night...? My head is killing me. It feels like I have a hangover," the student thinks after getting up and walking to the rug in the living room.
Still drowsy, he sits on the rug and hugs his knees with his hands, watching the fire burn silently in the fireplace.
That's when the memories start coming back, and the events of last night return to him. Without realizing it, his face turns red like a tomato.
"Oh my God, is this for real? Fuck, what am I going to do now?" he thinks in extreme shock and disbelief.
"Shit... why did I say those things? I... I ended up doing all that... I can still feel the texture of his lips on mine, that was kinda... incredible".
"When I think about it, my first kiss was... awesome! Really fucking awesome. And I got to touch his muscles, I even got to feel that..."
"But how the hell am I supposed to face him now? After what I did... yeah, that's right. It was the heat... How embarrassing."
"I'm worried about that now, like... I could barely move my hand, and my healing ability didn't work. If this happens again, what am I going to do?"
While the student is lost in his worries, Kazuki wakes up and soon spots Rei by the fireplace.
Still groggy from waking up at an unusual time, the beastman gets out of bed and walks towards the student, who doesn't notice his sudden approach.
With a somewhat hesitant voice and a guilty expression, Kazuki speaks:
— I'm sorry for what happened, Rei. If I hadn't done that, your pheromones would have gotten out of control...
— Nothing justifies what I did, but if you don't want to forgive me, that's okay... — he finishes, lowering his head.
Hearing the words of guilt coming from Kazuki, the student quickly responds:
— N-no need to lower your head, I was the one who asked you to kiss me anyway...
— If you hadn't shared your pheromones with me, I would still be suffering right now... You know? I should be the one... apologizing... for what I did - he says, embarrassed.
— Apologize for what?
— Uh... don't you remember? Just before I fainted.
As soon as Kazuki remembers, he averts his gaze and starts coughing.
— Cough!! Cough!!
— N-no need to apologize, you weren't thinking clearly.
Just as they finish discussing what happened, someone knocks on the door.
KNOCK!! KNOCK!!
