The huge academy garden was alive with gentle afternoon light. Tall, flowering trees cast dappled shadows across winding stone paths, while colorful magical flowers bloomed in intricate patterns. Students walked by in small groups, chatting and laughing, but on a secluded wooden bench near a quiet fountain, the world felt smaller — just for two people.

Kee sat relaxed, one leg crossed over the other, staring up at the clear blue sky. His messy brown hair caught the sunlight, giving it warm golden highlights.

Mee sat beside him, close but not quite touching. There was a half-hand gap between them on the bench. Her delicate hand rested in that space, palm up, fingers slightly curled in quiet expectation.

"The sky looks beautiful today, isn’t it?" Kee said softly, still gazing upward.

"H-huh?" Mee stuttered, caught off guard. She quickly nodded. "Y-yes... it really does. So clear and bright."

Kee smiled faintly. "The garden too. All these flowers... they bloom differently every season here. Magical, right? Makes you feel like you’re in another world."

Mee nodded again, her voice softer this time. "It does. Everything feels... peaceful."

A comfortable silence settled for a moment. Kee continued, still not looking at her directly.

"We actually made it into the Special Class. Can you believe that? After everything... the duels, the pressure. It feels surreal."

Mee’s eyes lit up. "I know! I was so nervous the whole time. But you were amazing, Kee. Really."

Kee chuckled lightly. "Thanks!" He paused for a moment before speaking again. "Yesterday Mrs. Selvara looked at the mark on my right hand and said it looked like the marks of the dead Demon Lord. Can you imagine? Me? Connected to something like that?"

Mee tilted her head, listening intently with a gentle smile. "It does look mysterious... but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Maybe it means you have hidden strength."

Kee finally turned his head toward her without moving his body much. His golden-brown eyes met hers, and his heart hammered hard in his chest.

*She’s so pretty when she listens like that,* he thought. The way her amber eyes sparkled with interest, the soft curve of her smile, the slight blush on her cheeks — everything about her made his pulse race. He had teased her endlessly, messed with her, played around like they were just friends... but after yesterday’s confession, everything felt different. Deeper. More real.

Mee noticed his gaze and blushed harder, but she didn’t look away. Instead, she smiled shyly. "W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kee didn’t answer immediately. He slowly reached out and placed his hand over hers in the gap between them. Mee yelped cutely, a small "Eep!" escaping her lips, but she didn’t pull away. Her fingers trembled slightly under his.

He gently intertwined their fingers, then lifted her hand to his lips and pressed a soft, lingering kiss to the back of it.

"I love you, Mee," he said quietly, voice sincere and warm. "Not as a friend. Not as someone I just tease. I really, truly love you."

Mee’s face turned bright red. Her heart fluttered wildly. She pushed closer on the bench until their thighs touched, then leaned in and pressed a sweet, shy kiss to his cheek.

"I love you too, Kee," she whispered right next to his ear, her breath warm and trembling. "I’ve liked you for so long... I was scared you only saw me as someone to mess with."

Kee turned to face her fully. Their faces were now inches apart, breaths mingling. Both of them froze for a moment, eyes locked, hearts pounding in sync.

Then, slowly, they both leaned in.

Their lips met in a gentle, loving kiss. Soft at first — hesitant and sweet — then gradually deepening as they melted into each other. Kee’s free hand came up to cup her cheek tenderly. Mee placed her hand on his chest, feeling his racing heartbeat.

When they finally pulled apart, both were breathing a little heavier, foreheads resting together.

"Wow..." Mee whispered, smiling dreamily. "That was... nice."

Kee grinned, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Just nice? I think we can do better than ’nice.’"

Mee giggled shyly and playfully pushed his shoulder. "Don’t get cocky! But... yes. It was really, really nice."

They stayed close, hands still intertwined. Kee rested his forehead against hers again.

"I’ve wanted to do that for months," he admitted. "Every time I teased you, I was trying to hide how much I liked you. After yesterday... I couldn’t hold it in anymore."

Mee squeezed his hand. "I’m glad you didn’t. I was so happy when you confessed. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would explode."

Kee chuckled. "Mine too. Still is, honestly."

They kissed again — slower this time, savoring each other. The garden around them seemed to fade away. Students walking by occasionally glanced over with curious or envious smiles, but neither Kee nor Mee cared.

After the second kiss, Mee rested her head on his shoulder, sighing contentedly.

"So... what happens now?" she asked softly.

Kee wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. "I want to get stronger. For you. For us."

Mee looked up at him with sparkling eyes. "Then I’ll get stronger with you. We can train together. Study together. Maybe even... go on dates when we have free time?"

Kee’s smile widened. "I’d like that. A lot. First date could be here — just sitting like this, watching the sky."

Mee blushed again but nodded happily. "That sounds perfect."

They spent the next while talking quietly. Every few minutes they would steal another kiss, growing bolder and more comfortable with each one.

Kee eventually pulled back slightly, looking at her with soft affection. "You know... I love how you listen to me. Even when I’m rambling about random things like the sky or those weird marks on my hand."

Mee smiled warmly. "I love listening to you. Everything you say is interesting to me. Even if it’s just about how blue the sky is today."

Kee laughed softly and kissed her forehead. "You’re too good for me, Mee."

"No," she whispered, cupping his face. "We’re good for each other."

They kissed once more — deeper, more passionate this time. Kee’s hand slid to her waist, pulling her even closer on the bench. Mee’s fingers tangled gently in his messy hair as she melted against him.

When they finally separated, both were flushed and smiling like idiots.

"I don’t want this moment to end," Mee admitted quietly.

"Me neither," Kee replied, resting his forehead against hers again. "But we have time. Lots of it. I’m not going anywhere."

Mee nodded, her eyes shining with happiness. "Good. Because I’m staying right here with you."

After their third lingering kiss, Kee and Mee stayed pressed close on the wooden bench, foreheads touching, breaths mingling warmly. Mee’s cheeks were still flushed a pretty pink, her amber eyes half-lidded with happiness. Kee’s hand rested on her waist, thumb gently stroking her side through her uniform.

But a mischievous glint suddenly appeared in Kee’s golden-brown eyes.

He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered teasingly, "You know... that blowjob you gave me this morning was really nice."

Mee’s entire face exploded into a deep crimson blush. "K-Kee!" she squeaked, trying to pull back slightly, but his arm around her waist kept her in place.

Kee grinned, clearly enjoying her reaction. "What? I’m just being honest. The way your soft lips wrapped around me... and that little swirl you did with your tongue at the end? Fuck, Mee. I felt so good I almost couldn’t stand properly afterward."

Mee buried her burning face against his shoulder, her voice muffled and embarrassed. "Y-You’re not supposed to say that out loud here! Someone might hear..."

Kee chuckled lowly, his free hand sliding down to rest on her thigh, just under the hem of her pleated skirt. "And then in the infirmary yesterday... when I grabbed your ass. So soft. So perfectly squeezable. I already knew it felt amazing, though."

Mee’s head shot up, eyes wide with mortification. "Kee!!"

He smirked, giving her thigh a gentle squeeze. "What? It’s true. I’ve slapped this cute ass quite a lot of times before today, you know. Every time you bent over to pick something up or when you walked past me or just to mess with you... I couldn’t resist. It always jiggled so nicely."

Mee whined cutely, covering her face with both hands, though she was smiling behind them. "You pervert... I knew you were doing that on purpose! I just pretended not to notice..."

"Oh? So you liked it?" Kee teased, leaning in to kiss the side of her neck. "You never told me to stop. In fact, sometimes you’d wiggle your hips a little more when you knew I was looking."

Mee peeked at him through her fingers, still blushing furiously but with a shy, playful smile. "T-That’s not fair... You always teased me so much. I didn’t want to admit anything back then."

Kee gently pulled her hands away from her face and held them in his own. He looked at her with a mix of affection and lust. "Well, I’m admitting everything now. I love how soft your ass is. I love how eagerly you sucked me this morning. And I especially love how red your face gets when I tease you about it."

Mee pouted, though her eyes sparkled with affection. "You’re so mean... But I love you anyway."

Kee grinned wider and pulled her even closer, his hand boldly sliding under her skirt to cup one of her soft ass cheeks over her panties. He gave it a firm squeeze right there on the bench.

"Kee!" Mee yelped again, glancing around nervously to make sure no one was watching. "We’re in the garden! Someone could see!"

"Let them see," he whispered hotly against her ear, kneading her plush rear. "Let them know you’re mine now. My cute, shy girlfriend who gives the best morning blowjobs and has the softest ass in the entire academy."

Mee shivered at his words, her thighs pressing together. "You’re going to get us in trouble... But... I don’t really hate it when you talk like that."

Kee kissed her again — deeper this time, more heated. His hand continued massaging her ass under her skirt while his other arm held her tightly. When they broke apart, Mee was breathing heavily, lips slightly swollen.

"You’re really bold now that we’re official," she murmured, half-complaining, half-aroused.

"Can you blame me?" Kee replied, nuzzling her neck. "After this morning, seeing you on your knees for me... swallowing everything so obediently... I’ve been thinking about it nonstop. You looked so pretty with my cock in your mouth, Mee."

Mee whimpered softly, hiding her face in his neck again. "Stoppp... You’re making me wet just talking about it..."

Kee’s eyes darkened with desire. "Good. That’s exactly what I want. Maybe later we can find somewhere more private and you can show me again how good that mouth of yours is."

Mee nodded shyly against his shoulder, her voice barely a whisper. "O-Okay... but only if you’re gentle with my ass this time. You always slap it so hard..."

Kee laughed softly and kissed the top of her head. "No promises. I love how it jiggles when I spank you."

Mee groaned in embarrassment, her thighs pressing together on the bench. "You’re evil, Kee. Pure evil."

"But you love this evil guy, right?" he teased, kissing her temple.

Mee peeked up at him, her amber eyes sparkling despite her blush. "Unfortunately... yes. I do."

They shared another soft kiss, but Kee wasn’t done teasing yet. After pulling back, he rested his forehead against hers, voice dropping lower.

"You know... I can’t stop thinking about how our first time is going to be."

Mee’s eyes widened dramatically. Her entire face flushed a furious, deep crimson that spread all the way down her neck and chest. "K-Kee!!" she squeaked, voice pitching higher in pure mortification. She tried to hide her face again, but he gently held her chin, keeping her gaze on him.

"W-What are you even saying right now?!" she stammered, heart pounding so hard he could feel it against his chest. "We just confessed yesterday and you’re already thinking about... about that?!"

Kee smiled tenderly, though his eyes held clear desire. "How can I not? After this morning... seeing you on your knees, looking up at me with those pretty eyes while you took me so deep... It’s been stuck in my head all day. I keep imagining how beautiful you’ll look when I finally make love to you properly."

Mee’s breath hitched. She bit her lower lip hard, squirming on the bench. "You’re going to kill me with embarrassment... I-I don’t even know what to say to that..."

"You don’t have to say anything," Kee whispered, brushing his thumb across her burning cheek. "Just know that I think you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. And I can’t wait to see how stunning you’ll look moaning my name, all flushed and needy underneath me."

Mee let out a tiny, overwhelmed whimper. Her hands fisted in his blazer as she pressed closer, hiding her face in his neck once more. "Kee... you’re too much. My heart can’t take this teasing..."

"But it’s not just teasing," he said softly, voice turning more sincere. "I really do think about it. About being gentle at first... kissing every inch of you. Then getting a little rougher when you start moaning louder. The way your body will feel against mine. How tight and warm you’ll be..."

Mee shivered visibly in his arms, her voice barely above a whisper. "Stop... I’m getting all hot and bothered in the middle of the garden... People are going to notice if I start squirming too much."

Kee kissed the side of her head again, laughing quietly. "Then maybe we should find a more private spot soon. I want to hear you moan my name for real, Mee. Not just in my imagination."

Mee pulled back just enough to look at him, her face still blazing red but her eyes filled with love and shy arousal. "You’re really serious about this, aren’t you? About us... taking that step?"

"Very serious," Kee replied, cupping her face with both hands. "But only when you’re ready. I’ll wait as long as you need. I just can’t stop thinking about how perfect it’s going to be with you."

Mee’s expression softened into a loving smile. She leaned in and kissed him sweetly, then whispered against his lips, "I want it too... someday soon. Just... be patient with me, okay? I get really shy about these things."

"I know," Kee murmured, kissing her back. "That’s one of the things I love most about you. Your shyness is adorable."

They continued talking quietly, exchanging more soft kisses and teasing remarks. Kee kept one hand possessively on her thigh under her skirt, occasionally giving her ass a light squeeze just to make her yelp and blush again. Mee protested cutely every time but never actually moved his hand away.

"You’re going to be the death of me," she sighed happily, resting her head on his shoulder once more.

Kee smiled, wrapping both arms around her. "Then I’ll just have to bring you back to life with more kisses."

Mee giggled. "Deal."
