The chaotic scene froze as the deafening roar of "E-FUCKIN-NOUGH!!!!!!!" echoed across the riverbank. Every student, whether they were from CherryWood Academy or Nissin Tech Academy, stopped dead in their tracks, eyes wide with shock and terror.

Standing at the edge of the chaos, glaring down at the mess their students had caused, were none other than CherryWood Academy's Headmistress Farah Harriet and the Nissin Tech Headmaster, a tall, muscular Warrior Class man with an equally furious expression.

Normally, a brawl between the students of CherryWood Academy and Nissin Tech was nothing new. These schools had a long-standing rivalry, and clashes between the Warrior Class students were practically a tradition. But this time, things were different. They had involved an Earth Human, and that was a line no one should have crossed.

Harriet's eyes were like daggers as she glared at her students, arms crossed and muscles tense. She looked like she was a second away from launching into a tirade that would reduce her students to a puddle of regret.

"What the fuck do you all think you're doing?" Harriet snapped, her voice cutting through the silence like a knife. Her gaze swept over the CherryWood Warrior Class students, but it lingered especially long on Matie, Kay, Rika, Izara, and Kaira, who were still fuming and ready to pounce at the slightest provocation.

The Nissin Tech Headmaster wasn't any less furious. His arms were folded across his broad chest, and he stared down his own students with a look that promised pain. "Do you idiots have any idea what you've done?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "You're not just fighting each other; you've dragged a goddamn Earth Human into your bullshit. That's beyond reckless—it's suicidal!"

The Nissin Tech students squirmed under their Headmaster's gaze, a few of them glancing toward Aoto, who was still rubbing his back and wiping the hybrid girl's saliva from his face, looking incredibly uncomfortable.

Matie was the first to break the silence from the CherryWood side, still seething as she pointed at the Nissin Tech hybrid girl. "She started it by licking Aoto! That's unforgivable!"

Harriet didn't even blink. "Oh, so now we're licking people, are we? That's what we've stooped to? I didn't know I was raising a pack of rabid dogs!" she barked, glaring at Matie and the others. "I don't care who started it. All of you, from both schools, are in deep shit for this."

The Nissin Tech Headmaster took a step forward, his voice heavy with disapproval. "Do you know what happens when you mess with an Earth Human? Huh?" He shot a glance at Aoto before turning back to his students. "One wrong move, one mistake, and this entire planet becomes the focus of Earth's United Nations Defense Force. Do any of you dumbasses want to answer to them?"

The Nissin Tech students visibly paled at the mention of the UNDF, shifting uncomfortably on their feet. Even the cocky hybrid girl, who had been trying to carry Aoto off moments ago, looked like she was reconsidering her life choices.

Harriet, noticing her students' grim expressions, sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose as if trying to calm herself down. "This was supposed to be a simple rivalry brawl, not a fucking interplanetary incident." She glanced back at Aoto, who was trying very hard to blend into the background, but failing miserably. "Aoto, you alright?"

Aoto, still dazed and sore from the dropkick and the impromptu sniffing session, nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine... I think."

Harriet turned her attention back to the students, her voice dropping to a dangerous low. "Consider yourselves lucky that Aoto's unharmed. But make no mistake—if this had gone any further, you'd all be looking at serious consequences. Earth doesn't fuck around when it comes to protecting its own."

The Nissin Tech Headmaster growled in agreement. "There will be consequences for this. And believe me, they're not going to be light."

With that, both Harriet and the Nissin Tech Headmaster began to order their students to fall in line. The fighting was over, and now it was time for punishment. The students from both schools, sensing the severity of the situation, quickly fell into formation, grumbling but knowing better than to protest.

As the tension began to settle, Aoto couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Things had gotten way too intense for his liking, and he was grateful that the heads of the schools had stepped in before it got even worse.

"Next time," Harriet called over her shoulder as she began to walk away, "maybe think before you act, huh? This could've ended way worse for all of you."

Aoto sighed, shaking his head as he slowly made his way back to his friends. Matie, Kay, Rika, Izara, and Kaira were all staring at him with a mix of concern and...something else.

"Aoto," Matie said, her voice soft but laced with determination. "Next time someone tries to lick you, we'll handle it ourselves."

Aoto, tired and sore, could only nod. "Yeah...that sounds good."

And as the group began to head back to the academy, leaving the chaos of the riverbank behind them, Aoto couldn't help but wonder what other insane situations awaited him at CherryWood Academy.

A week later, Aoto wakes up ready to start the day of either being lazy or hanging out at CherryWood Academy. It was then he heard knocking at his door. He opened the door to see the hybrid Class Nissin Tech Academy girl...

...fuck...

Aoto stood frozen in place, staring at the towering Warrior/Softy/Giant hybrid girl from Nissin Tech Academy who stood in his doorway, her imposing figure blocking out the morning light. Her wild grin stretched across her face as she waved at him like they were the best of friends.

"Hey there, Earth Human!" she chimed, her voice unnervingly sweet yet carrying that crazed undertone. "I've been thinking about you a lot since our... encounter last week. Mind if I come in?"

Aoto blinked, his brain scrambling for any reasonable excuse to turn her away. "Uhh... I'm actually kind of busy today. You know, school stuff, laundry, maybe burning the whole place down?"

She ignored his words entirely, stepping forward as if she was entitled to walk in. "Oh, come on, I won't stay long. Just wanted to chat."

Aoto's mind raced, remembering how unhinged she had been when they first met, and how close she was to literally carrying him off. Before she could push her way in, he quickly added, "Actually, I'm heading out. Got a lot to do today, and I've already got plans with some friends."

Her smile faltered slightly, but she didn't seem deterred. "Oh, I could tag along then! I've got nothing planned either."

"Uh, yeah... no, that's not really—" Aoto tried to politely decline when, out of nowhere, Matie appeared behind him, glaring at the Nissin Tech girl with a gaze that could melt steel.

"Aoto," Matie growled, stepping forward protectively, "who's this bitch standing at your door?"

The Nissin Tech girl didn't back down, meeting Matie's fiery gaze with a challenging smirk. "I'm Nami, Warrior Class, Softy, and Giant hybrid from Nissin Tech. Nice to meet you again, Aoto's girlfriend?" She said the last word with an obvious mocking tone.

Matie's eyes flared dangerously. "You better get the hell away from Aoto before I remind you what happened last week by the river."

Before things could escalate, Kay and Rika showed up behind Matie, clearly ready to jump into the fray.

Kay cracked her knuckles, glaring daggers at Nami. "Why are you even here? Aoto doesn't want anything to do with you, and he's got enough on his plate with us. You should back off while you still can."

Rika, on the other hand, had her trademark grin plastered across her face, licking her sharp teeth in anticipation of a fight. "I'd love to sink my teeth into you again, just like last time. You remember, right? That little 'accident' when you left with a couple of scratches."

Nami narrowed her eyes, looking like she was calculating whether or not she could take them all on again. Her smile shifted, becoming more sly. "No need to get hostile, ladies. I was just stopping by to say hi." She turned back to Aoto, flashing him another too-sweet grin. "I'll see you around, Earth Human. Don't forget me."

With that, she turned and sauntered off, her hips swaying with confidence as if she'd won some kind of victory.

As soon as she was gone, Matie slammed the door shut, turning to Aoto with a mix of frustration and protectiveness. "That girl has a death wish if she thinks she can waltz into your life like that. You're ours, Aoto. Got it?"

Kay nodded in agreement. "If she tries that again, I won't hold back. She's out of her mind."

Rika just laughed, patting Aoto on the back. "You're too popular for your own good, Aoto. But don't worry, we'll make sure she doesn't bother you again."

Aoto sighed, feeling overwhelmed but grateful for the support of his warrior companions. "Thanks, guys. I didn't expect this morning to turn into a showdown."

Matie wrapped an arm around his shoulders, pulling him in close. "Let's just make sure she knows her place from now on. No one messes with our Aoto."

With the girls keeping watch over him, Aoto knew he was in for another day of chaos, but at least he wouldn't be facing it alone.

Later that night, Matie is sleeping and being the big spoon on Aoto who was wide awake and trying his best to think of clean thoughts.

Author's Note: Remember, Matie sleeps naked.

Aoto lay stiff as a board, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling while Matie snuggled up to him as the big spoon. Her arm was draped over his chest, and the warmth of her body pressed against his back made it nearly impossible for him to focus on anything other than the fact that she was completely naked.

His mind was racing, and he was doing everything in his power to keep his thoughts pure—or at least clean enough—because he knew how disastrous it could be if Matie woke up and sensed anything inappropriate. He gulped, his body stiffening even more as Matie shifted slightly, her breathing soft and rhythmic, signaling that she was still asleep.

"Clean thoughts... clean thoughts..." he muttered under his breath, desperately trying to keep his mind on mundane things like schoolwork, noodles, and TV shows.

But every time he managed to focus on something innocent, the sensation of her soft, warm skin would drag him back into dangerous territory. Her muscular yet feminine form fit perfectly against him, and he could feel every curve, every subtle shift in her position.

"Goddamn it..." he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut. He couldn't risk moving either. One wrong move and Matie could wake up, and she'd either take things to the next level or get super embarrassed—and knowing her, either could happen.

Suddenly, Matie shifted again, her arm tightening around him in her sleep. She let out a soft, contented sigh, and for a brief second, her leg draped over his, trapping him even more.

Aoto could feel his heart pounding in his chest, the heat rising to his face. This is hell... he thought to himself. She's gonna be the death of me...

He tried to distract himself with more thoughts, mentally running through tomorrow's schedule. Okay, first, I've got help Tanaka with his model USS Texas, then maybe lunch with Ay... I should probably hit the gym... Focus, Aoto, focus!

But as if sensing his inner turmoil, Matie nuzzled her face into the back of his neck, her breath tickling his skin. "Mmm, Aoto..." she murmured in her sleep, pulling him even closer.

Aoto's brain practically short-circuited. Oh my God, why?! Why is this happening to me?!

He couldn't hold it in anymore and let out a long, exasperated sigh, his face burning red. There was no way he was getting any sleep tonight, not with Matie like this. He could already feel his willpower crumbling, and it was only a matter of time before—

"Aoto...?" a soft voice whispered.

Aoto froze, eyes wide open again. "Matie...?"

There was no response. She was still fast asleep, and yet she had said his name so sweetly, so softly.

He gulped again, the struggle in his mind only getting worse. I'm so screwed...

And with that, Aoto resigned himself to a very long and sleepless night in the arms of a very naked Matie.
