"Then, marry me." Keigo whispered softly against my ear, his voice full of warm passion that made my heart melt to mush.

He said the words just a tad louder than the, almost inaudible, volume our conversation had previously been at....clearly wanting to make sure I heard him correctly.

I hummed softly at his words, not needing to hear them a second time to believe he actually said them.

I know that he did.

But, wow.

Even though there wasn't a doubt in my mind that Keigo said the words, I couldn't deny the fact that he still took my breath away.

Needing a moment to process, I let my eyes fall closed...feeling shaky sighs leave my mouth as I tried to recover, a little.

My cheeks heated up. My heart began racing, and Keigo could sense it, as I suddenly felt his arms circle around my back a little tighter...holding me comfortingly, as he let me patiently take in the meaning of his words.

He chose to let me be the one to break the peaceful silence when I was ready, not uttering a word as he buried his face in my neck.

My arms encircled tighter around his neck, as I felt my head tilting up higher towards the sky.

Keigo was completely calm. His body fully relaxed. Our chest to chest position allowed me to feel the steady, slow beat of his heart. His other hand blindly came up towards my face, gently brushing his thumb across my hot cheeks tenderly. He was enjoying the moment.

And so was I.

Finally finding my words, I couldn't help the smile that had already started to make its way onto my face as I spoke.

"Is it just me, or did that sound like a proposal?" I chuckled softly, gently tangling my fingers into his hair.

I felt him smile against my neck upon hearing my words and my happy tone of voice, before he placed a chaste kiss under my ear.

"In a way, yes. But, please, chicky. You know my real proposal's gonna be better than this. You think I wouldn't get down on one knee and give you a ring? Of course I would." He said quietly, his voice coming out muffled against my skin.

I smiled warmly at his words, hugging him against me tightly.

"Just lost in the moment then?" I asked, closing my eyes in happy bliss.

Keigo finally lifted his face to look at me. I was surprised to see the heavy blush that tinted his cheeks, but he clearly wasn't embarrassed by his words in the slightest.

"No. Not lost in the moment-well, I mean...yeah, if you can't tell, I'm definitely lost in this moment right now. Heh, I'm even a little lightheaded from it, if I'm being honest. But, that's not why I asked you to marry me. I asked you, because I mean it. Regardless of the situation....regardless of whatever moment I'm living in...my feelings will always stay the same. I want you to marry me, Ari." He explained coaxingly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as he spoke the words.

His golden gaze shone brightly into my eyes, the pure, genuine happiness of it entrancing me in a way that made me never want to look away.

Keigo studied the features of my face with care, speaking again a moment later.

"But, I understand, little dove...that now is not the right time. I know you're still finishing school. There's still the hero commission...my infiltration mission....Dabi...and probably a whole grocery list of other things to worry about. I know that. And that's why, I know better than to give you a real, true proposal right now." He nodded softly, giving me a reassuring smile as he spoke the words.

Hearing Keigo's statement quickly brought me back to reality, as I realized all of the obstacles that stood in our way for something like marriage.

Sure, he can be impulsive at times. But, he knows when to be practical, as well.

He's right. Now, is not the right time.

So....

"Then, why did you ask, Keigs?" I questioned curiously, leaning into his touch as he caressed my face.

He gently trailed his hands away from my face, resting both of them on my shoulders now to focus on me.

"Because, I want to make a promise to you." He stated clearly, giving me a small nod to emphasize his words.

"A promise? What kind of promise?"

Keigo's smile grew slightly at my words, leaning into me just a bit closer as he spoke.

"Ari, I want to make a promise....that once all of this is done....all of it....my infiltration mission....your school.....Dabi....once all of the chaos in our lives has finally passed, and the time is finally right, where we can be free together....I want to make a promise that I will propose to you the right way, and marry you. Only if you want to, of course." He said gently, never once breaking his strong gaze away from my eyes.

He wanted me to know he was sure. He wanted to see my reactions.

And I don't think he was disappointed with them.

I could feel my eyes lighting up about three times brighter. I couldn't stop the smile from spreading wide across my face as I took in Keigo's words, letting out a small breath of awe.

I cursed the immediate wave of tears that clouded my vision, sniffling softly as I quickly wiped them away.

Keigo studied my response warmly, knowing my tears were happy ones.

"Hey, shh, don't cry." He coaxed softly, brushing his thumbs along my cheeks to gather my tears.

"I-It's not cause I'm sad."

"I know. But, still. I don't like seeing you cry." He whispered, his concern causing me to chuckle in amusement.

Quickly wiping up the rest of the tears from my face, I directed my gaze back to Keigo, involuntarily matching his look of pure and utter joy.

Keigo Takami and I were children who were tricked, and then forced, into living a life that wasn't our own. Every choice was for someone else. Every will to live was based on a command from a stranger.

Keigo and I were made to live a life that forced us to grow up faster than most, and we did.

Every emotion was forced to be thrown away and torn apart, leaving nothing but a blank canvas for the hero commission to puppeteer as they please.

We were meant to isolate ourselves from the entire world forever, in a way so they could never understand us. Because by doing so, no one would ever get too close.

We were never supposed to love. We were never supposed to fall in love with each other. We were never supposed to find comfort in each other.

Maybe...these are some of the reasons why Diane kept us apart as children. I'll never know.

But...

We did.

We love each other. We understand each other. We've allowed each other into the deepest parts of our hearts.

We're making our lives our own.

We are doing everything that Diane never wanted. We are doing everything we were never supposed to do.

And that's just another thing we're doing.

The biggest thing that was never supposed to happen...

Making our own choice to do so.

But, we are. And I have never been more okay...more happy with anything in my entire life.

Because, I love Keigo Takami. I love him so much. And I would like nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with him, someday.

I hope we get our 'someday' soon.

I turned my attention back to Keigo, not being able to stop myself from throwing my arms around him for a tight hug.

He immediately returned my gesture, placing one of his hands on my head while the other wrapped around my waist.

I couldn't help the soft giggle that came out of my mouth as I leaned close to Keigo's ear now, whispering the one word I was so excited to say.

"Yes."

Keigo's breath hitched softly at my words, before he gently peeled me off his body slightly so he could see my face.

"Y-Yes? Y-You said yes, right?" He asked breathlessly, the excited anticipation that flooded his eyes making my heart melt.

I gently grabbed both sides of his face, looking right into his bright eyes so he knew I was sure.

"Yes, Keigo. Yes to all of it. I accept your promise, and I'm making my own to you. I promise I will marry you. I want nothing more than to marry you when this is all over. I love you." I stated clearly, watching his eyes turn to pure, sappy mush upon hearing my words.

A genuine toothy smile flashed across his face now, lighting up his entire appearance. I don't think I've ever seen him look so happy and content.

A heavy, shaky sigh escaped his mouth at my statement. He picked me up in his arms, letting my feet sway off the ground.

Keigo raspily cleared his throat, quickly blinking away the subtle glisten that began to coat his eyes.

"A promise then. A promise for you and me, chicky. We'll do it. We'll do it together." He whispered, looking up at my face that was hovering slightly above his own as he held me up.

Without another word, I slowly dipped my head down to kiss him...watching his eyes already dropping closed as he waited for me to close the gap.

The moment our mouths had barely touched each other's, Keigo immediately leaned forward to catch my lips in a deeper kiss.

I couldn't help but reciprocate...pulling him closer by the back of the head, and feeling our kiss growing with heated passion.

"Keigo." I breathed out with need, feeling my brows furrow in concentration as all I could do was focus on this moment.

"I'm here." He whispered, snaking his hand to the back of my head and pushing me closer to him.

We stayed like this for a few moments, our kisses becoming hotter and deeper as time went on.

Reluctantly, I was the one to pull away after some time, as I felt myself starting to get dizzy from lack of air.

Keigo's eyes opened halfway, trailing to the extremely bright blush that tinted my cheeks.

Although, he didn't embarrass me this time. He simply let out a faint smile at the sight, gently brushing his thumbs along my rosy face.

I let out a small, sheepish chuckle at his actions, feeling myself becoming completely flustered under his hawk-like gaze.

Keigo's mouth curled into an even warmer smile of affection as he saw my rare, somewhat shy, appearance-no doubt, touched that he's the only one who gets to see me like this....knowing that he's the only one who can bring out this side of me.

Not wanting to ruin the moment with a tease, Keigo simply pushed my head back towards his, planting a small peck to my lips this time.

I barely had a chance to kiss back, before he was the one to pull away. Judging by the way he was looking at me with eager excitement, Keigo clearly had other ideas.

His bright smile didn't falter in the slightest as he took a deep breath, clearly having a little more to say.

"Come with me. There's something I wanna show you."

************************************************

"Nuh-uh, uh. Didn't I tell you not to open your eyes?" Keigo chuckled into my ear, telekinetically wiggling the feathers that were covering my eyes to emphasize his point.

I groaned in annoyance-but really...it was more anticipation than annoyance.

"Keigo, Keigo, Keigo. You're always telling me to open my eyes, and now you're telling me to keep them closed? Don't start messing with me now, birdie." I chuckled as my bird boy kept the two pillow soft feathers placed over my face, not allowing me to see where the hell he was flying us to now.

After some good talk, good food, and relaxation with Keigo, the time quickly passed. Before we knew it, the sun had long gone down past the mountains, leaving behind the starry, dark sky to illuminate the flight path.

Keigo said he had one more surprise for me to end this perfect date. But, to keep that effect, he essentially blindfolded me with his feathers, making it clear that he wouldn't allow me to see again until we got to our secret destination.

He let out a small laugh...trailing one of his hands that was wrapped around my waist, over to my side to give my curves a playful, light squeeze.

Not being able to expect the touch due to my lack of sight, I was completely caught off guard by the ticklish action, letting out a soft yelp as my legs wrapped tighter around Keigo. I wanted to ensure I kept my grip on him while we flew high in the sky.

He snickered in triumph at my little action, making it a point to hug me tighter to let me know he had a good grip on me.

Knowing I couldn't see him from the feather covers on my eyes, Keigo's lips very quietly moved forward to brush against my ear....purposely trying to catch me off guard so I'd jump again.

And I did. What a cheeky, little bastard.

He held my hips snugly against his own to keep me from jolting too suddenly, letting his teeth and hot breath graze against my earlobe in a way that made me shiver.

"Now, if I tell ya where we're going, then it wouldn't exactly be a surprise, would it chicky? Although, I've gotta say....maybe I should blindfold you more often. I kinda like seeing you so squirmy for me." He whispered teasingly, giving my earlobe another soft bite before the tip of his tongue glided across it.

I inhaled sharply at the action, as goosebumps immediately rose to my skin. My other senses were elevated more strongly, in order to compensate for my lack of sight.

This caused me to feel more sensitive to Keigo's touches.

And he knew it.

"Hm. You alright there, baby? Your heart rate's startin' to spike. I can only wonder why." He chuckled into my ear, not being able to do much else since he needed to watch his flight path carefully.

Being the stubborn girl that I am, I refused to give Keigo the satisfaction that he wanted in thinking he was going to make me flustered for the millionth time tonight.

Even though he was definitely starting to...

"I'm peachy, Keigs. Must be the flying thing that's got me on edge." I stated casually, feeling my lips curl up into a small, challengingly smirk as Keigo and I both knew that wasn't true.

Knowing exactly how to expose my lie, one of Keigo's hands quickly moved to my leg, sliding my dress up just a little to graze my upper thigh.

"A-Ah, hey!" I blurted out with an unexpected peep, feeling goosebumps starting to make their way to my leg now as Keigo's fingertips barely applied any pressure to my thigh.

"Yes? What? Somethin' wrong?" He asked smoothly, faking cluelessness as he intentionally applied just the right amount of pressure to his touches to make my senses feel a little bit cloudy.

What a tease.

I didn't answer for a moment as I tried to focus on forming a witty response to Keigo's question.

But, he didn't give me much time to think of one as his hand trailed a little bit higher up my thigh, bringing my dress up, along with the gliding movement of his fingers.

Stay cool, Ari.

Taking a small breath to clear my head, I turned my direction towards Keigo's, feeling him already looking at me even though I couldn't see his face.

"Nope. Nothing's wrong. As I said before, I'm just peachy." I smirked, noticing how Keigo's hand wouldn't trail any higher up my thigh now.

Instead his mouth returned to my ear, the tickling feeling of his lips causing me to start running my hands through his hair as I felt my body heat up ever so slightly.

"And as I said before....I think I'll have to blindfold you more often, if you keep reactin' to me this way." He whispered out, his voice taking on a more husky tone compared to the joking one he had just used a moment ago.

He tapped the growing goosebumps on my sensitive thighs to emphasize his points, silently trying to tell me that he knew how I was feeling.

I couldn't hide it from him.

Scoffing in challenge, I shot him a cheeky grin, giving the roots of his hair a gentle tug.

I expected him to moan a little, the way he always does when I play with his hair. He's usually pretty easy to rile up, after all.

I assume that's just a typical reaction for a man who can only last thirty-five seconds.

But, instead he simply pressed my upper body harder against his own, wanting to feel my chest closer to his.

"Ah, see? I knew you'd pull my hair if I said a comment like that. Which is exactly why I said it." He pointed out confidently, the playful, joking tone of his voice quickly replacing the naughty insinuations it held just a few seconds ago.

My brows raised in slight surprise at his unexpected response, causing me to bite my lip in soft amusement.

"Hm. Someone's getting cocky." I uttered out somewhat quietly, hearing Keigo chuckle at the slight begrudge I held in my voice.

"Who, me? Cocky? Wouldn't dream of it, darlin'." He said in fake innocence, causing me to snicker softly at his petty, little attitude.

I didn't even realize we had made our way to the ground, until I felt a gentle jolt of our intertwined bodies, feeling both of Keigo's arms hold me tightly to steady me.

The sound of his sneakers scuffed across the floor pavement as he effortlessly landed, causing me to become a little jealous since landings are something I never seem to get right.

He quickly pulled my dress back down to a modest length, before slowly lowering my legs from around his waist, to the ground one by one.

Keigo kept his hands on my hips as I regained my balance again, making it a point to keep his feathers still covering over my eyes.

"Ah, that's better. Are we here then?" I sighed out in relief at being back on land, giving my legs a small stretch.

"Mhm. We are, chicky. We're here." Keigo said softly, his voice becoming gentle and somewhat nervous as I heard him shuffling around in his pockets for something.

I furrowed my brows in curiosity at his actions, patiently keeping his feathers over my eyes as I waited for him to speak again.

But, he didn't speak.

Instead, he gently grabbed my hand, slowly rotating my palm up so it would open, before I felt him place a cold, metallic object in my hand.

He pressed it into my palm slightly, silently telling me to take the tiny object.

My fingers quickly closed around it, starting to move it around in my grasp so I could try to figure out what it was.

I had an idea on what it was, but I still wasn't completely sure I was correct.

"Is this a..." I trailed off in confusion, wanting Keigo to explain.

"Alright. Guess it's time to take these off." Keigo said, before I felt his feathers floating away from my face.

My eyes slowly opened at the feeling of being able to see again, before I came face to face with Keigo first.

He was smiling warmly, raising his brows at me in silent greeting before softly nodding to the object in my hand.

I looked down at the item, seeing exactly what I had assumed it was.

"A...key?" I asked in slight confusion, studying it carefully.

Keigo happily looked down at the key with me, nodding softly in agreement as he slowly placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Mhm. A key..." He started off, before gently turning me around.

My eyes widened slightly as I came face to face with the incredibly nice looking building,

It was big and beautiful, with a scenery of mountains and water behind it that looked like it was straight from a painting.

My jaw dropped open as I took in the sight of the place, having been back to Tengoku enough times to know that Keigo and I were currently at the nicest apartment complex that the town had to offer.

And boy, was it nice.

Seeming completely delighted with my genuine surprise, I felt Keigo's arms come around my waist from behind, hugging me close to him as he rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Well? What do ya think of it?" He whispered eagerly, placing a small peck on my cheek.

"W-What do I think? Well, I think it's absolutely beautiful. K-Keigs....what are we doing here? Are they letting us stay the night or something?" I asked in disbelief, trying to wrap my head around what I was starting to piece together.

Keigo chuckled softly at my words before he grabbed my hand, gently starting to tug me towards the entrance.

"Mm, something like that. You see...as much as I love that dorm room of yours, chicky...and as much as I really love the fact that Diane is free to barge into my city apartment anytime she so very pleases, I thought that maybe you and I could use a change of scenery." He smiled back at me, opening the glass door to the building and gesturing for me to head in first.

I matched his smile with a combination of question and excitement, slowly walking through the entrance first.

Keigo quickly followed, grabbing my hand and leading me through the empty, quiet lobby of the apartment building. It was very late, after all.

Entering the spotless stairwell, the bird boy opted to fly us up the way instead of walking.

It definitely cut the time in half.

I giggled softly as we ended up on the seventh or eight floor of the building in a single second, turning to him in amusement with his 'laziness.'

"What? Couldn't be bothered to take a few flights of stairs?" I teased, causing him to lightly roll his eyes as he opened the door to a new hallway.

"Chicky, if your definition of a few flights of stairs is eight flights, then I'm thinkin' you might need to do some serious life re-evaluating on your end." Keigo pointed out as he followed me down the hallway, grinning proudly as he saw the nice, quaint sight of it.

"Wow. Some serious life re-evaluating for eight flights of stairs, huh? You pretty boys are always so dramatic." I teased, feeling his wing drape around my frame and lightly drag me backwards into his arms.

I let out a small laugh of surprise at the action, hearing Keigo's laugh mix with mine, before he gently pressed me forward, up against the wall.

His hands were wrapped around me and his wings soon followed as well, leaving me to feel nothing but the warmth of Keigo's embrace, contrasted against cool wall that was pressing up against my blushed cheek.

If I turn any redder, I will eventually morph into a tomato.

"Someone's very teasing today." He purred out playfully, gently moving my hair away from my neck, only so he could place a deep, steamy kiss on it.

A small gasp escaped my mouth at his unexpected actions as I felt him lightly pressing my head forward against the wall to allow himself better access to my neck.

Keigo already knew the spot on my skin that would make me go weak at the knees, as he immediately glided over it with his tongue.

I couldn't help the soft moan that left my lips, causing him to bury his hand in my hair all the way up to the roots.

Keigo let out a husky hum at my sound, using his grip on my hair to tug my head to the side gently.

He pressed his body into mine, completely pinning me forward against the wall now.

"Ah, keep making noises like that, and the neighbors might hear." He smirked, before purposely giving my sweet spot an unannounced, harsh suck.

"Kei-" I started out louder than I intended, causing his hand to quickly cover my mouth to keep me quiet.

"Huh. I didn't think you actually wanted the neighbors to hear. Unless you've got some kind of kink I don't know about-"

"Can it, birdie." I groaned out quietly, my voice still raspy in recovery to Keigo and I's slightly steamy moment in the hallway.

"Mm. So feisty." He cooed out seductively, placing a small, chaste peck on my neck before releasing me from his hold.

I cleared my throat and began smoothing out my, slightly bunched, dress to compose myself, quickly turning around to face Keigo.

His smirk was already wide as his eyes trailed to my flushed cheeks, biting his lip in amusement at the sight.

"Feelin' a little hot there, maybe?" He asked in fake question, pulling me away from the wall as he continue leading us down the hallway.

"Well, it is rather warm in here." I huffed stubbornly, shooting him a challenging smile as we made our way to the end of the hallway.

Noticing we were coming up on a door, I began fiddling with the key in my hand again, making me remember why we came here in the first place.

"But, seriously Keigs. What's the deal with this apartment, here in Tengoku? Did they let you rent it out for the night? I would have been okay just heading to a hotel. You didn't have to go through all of this trouble." I uttered out in awe with the place, outstretching my hand to give him his key back.

His teases faded away as he saw what I was trying to do, taking a quick breath of anticipation.

Instead of reaching for the key in my hand, his reach went to the pocket of his jeans, pulling out something else instead.

"Ari..." He started out seriously, his eyes filled with gentle reassurance.

My attention quickly perked up at his tone, seeing a duplicate key dangling in his own hands.

"This apartment....it isn't just for the night. It's not a one time thing. I bought it." Keigo stated clearly, flashing me a happy smile as he spoke.

My eyes widened slightly in excitement at his words, at the thought of him having his own place, here in Tengoku. I almost couldn't believe it.

"What?! No way, Keigs. You bought yourself an apartment here?!" I asked excitedly, causing him to shake his head slightly in disagreement.

"It's not just my apartment. This key is mine, Chicky. But....that one, the one you're holding in your hands....that's yours-if you want it, of course." He stated softly, causing my shocked state to come back once more.

I quickly looked down at my key again, before back up at Keigo, then to the door of the new place directly in front of us.

"Wait. You mean...." I trailed off, waiting for Keigo to confirm my thought.

"Yep." He nodded, starting to unlock the door.

I stood there in silent surprise as Keigo opened the door, gesturing for me to enter first.

"Ari, I didn't just buy this apartment for myself. I bought it...for us. It's yours, too. It's ours. I know it may be a bit of time before we can regularly use it, but, regardless....I wanna share it with you." He uttered warmly...and somewhat shyly, shooting me a genuine grin of reassurance.

My eyes lit up in surprise at his words, looking to the open door of the apartment in excited disbelief.

"What...really?" I breathed out quietly, feeling Keigo place his hand on my shoulder and gently push me forward to get moving. He really wanted me to go inside.

"C'mon, Chicky. Don't keep us standing out here forever. Have a look." He chuckled, causing me to quickly get my feet moving.

I eagerly walked through the door now, feeling my jaw drop at the sight of the new place in front of me.

The apartment was completely beautiful from head to toe. It was big, but not too big as it's a place that would only be used for two people.

It was nice, but also modest and nothing super flashy, making it feel more cozy and comforting.

And of course, I didn't miss the giant window that completely took up one of the walls, giving us a nice bird's eye view of the sky outside, as well as the mountain-outlined lake down below.

You could definitely see the prettiest sunrises and sunsets from here, I'm sure.

The front room and kitchen were already furnished and decorated casually, making me assume the bedroom was, as well. The whole demeanor and style of the place had touches of Keigo all over it, and that made me smile wider than I thought possible, as I realized the effort he's already put into this.

I heard Keigo close the door behind us, letting out a small sigh of relief as he surveyed the place. I heard the footsteps of his sneakers gliding across the wood floor as he made his way over to me.

He rubbed his neck nervously, eyes locked on my features, as he eagerly awaited my verdict.

"Well, little dove...what do ya think? Will you move in with me?" He asked hopefully.

The nervous smile on his face made me internally crack up. Apparently, he doesn't realize how whipped for him I already am.

My face grew into a bigger grin than I thought possible, as I felt my chest filling with a sudden, warm burst of touched giddiness.

I didn't waste another second in lunging at Keigo, throwing my arms around his neck and jumping up to wrap my legs around his waist.

Thank goodness his quick reflexes caught me, otherwise we'd both have fallen on our asses from the weight of my body slam.

Looks like I was still a little stronger than I thought as Keigo stumbled backwards slightly from the force of my jump, his back hitting the wall with a big thud as he held me tightly.

He involuntarily groaned as the air left his body too quickly, causing me to cringe in apology.

"Sorry." I laughed, hearing his breathless chuckle.

"Is that a yes?" He whispered eagerly, not even caring about the fact that I practically did a wrestling move on him, not more than a few seconds ago.

Leaving the warm space in the crook of his neck, I hovered my face in front of his now, watching his golden eyes completely glowing in the moonlight from his happiness.

It's not everyday I manage to see Keigo so happy. Sadly, it's very rare for me to see him in such a state.

But, my....he wears the look of happy so incredibly well. He almost looks like a completely different man. Without the covers of the hero commission dulling his eyes everyday, his golden orbs would shine an entire shade brighter like this, all the time.

He looked truly stunning. He was perfect. And for one of the first times, if not..the first time, in his entire life....I could tell that he didn't even remember he was the pro hero, Hawks. He didn't remember the horrors that are currently going on, and have been going on, in his life.

That's why he's shining so incredibly bright.

It's a look I want to see everyday for the rest of my life.

I snaked my hands from around his shoulders to his face, gently cupping both of his baby-faced cheeks.

"Yes. It's a yes. I will most definitely move in with you, Keigo Takami." I grinned, watching a toothy smile already spreading across his face.

"C'mere." He breathed out happily, already pushing the back of my head forward to catch me in a kiss.

I kissed him back passionately, leaning into his hold as I still needed to be closer to Keigo.

Obviously, I didn't know my own strength, as I didn't realize the weight of holding up my body was forcing Keigo back further into the wall. But, he didn't seem to care in the slightest as he gripped my thighs tightly, holding me up securely and pretending I didn't weigh a thing.

Not being able to breath, Keigo finally forced himself away from me a few minutes later, already panting and blushing furiously from our little kiss session.

I smiled softly as I realized the effect this moment was having on him, placing small pecks on his cheek while I patiently waited for him to recover.

Keigo hummed contently at my actions, throwing his head back against the wall to relish in my kisses.

"Ah, so I guess we can say 'welcome home' then. Right, chicky? I know we won't really be able to use this place a lot until you're finished with these last few months of UA, but...I dunno...I like the idea of sayin' it." He chuckled, as I felt his face starting to heat up from under my lips.

"Welcome home, huh? I like the way that sounds, Keigs. So, this is home. It's our home." I breathed out, trailing my lips towards his neck as I felt myself starting to need more.

Keigo's heart began pounding out of his chest as I started kissing his neck, and I couldn't tell if his excitement was from my words or my kisses.

"A-Ah yeah..." He panted out hotly, pressing my face a little harder against his neck.

Once again, I couldn't tell if that sentence was excitement from my words or my kisses....

But even as flustered and mind boggled as Keigo was right now, he still managed to recover.

"You like hearin' it, baby? Cause, man, I sure do. So, welcome home. Welcome home..." Keigo huffed as his hand began trailing higher up my thigh now.

But, not without making another cheeky remark first.

"Ah, but y'know....I was thinkin' we call our place The Nest." He smirked teasingly, already knowing a sentence like that would cause me to crack up.

And it absolutely did.

"Listen, Keigo. There's a point where I finally need to draw the line with how cheesy this is getting."

"Oh....well, we definitely haven't hit that line yet."
