&#x3C;p&#x3E;I couldn&#x27;t believe it!! Takumi and I were dating, for real! Ahh, I was so happy! I remember when he told me he would be my cosplaying boyfriend Later on, he even wore the wig for me! He styled it rather nicely, too! He looked like Arthur for real&#x2026; It was like a dream when I kissed him and he pretended to be him for a bit.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Did he happen to play the otome game? I guess he might have, he has a wide variety of interests in visual novels!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;When I told my friends, we all celebrated with a session of Tick In The Box, an online party game. It was lots of fun, it was about making silly answers that cracked people up the most! As a result, usually Takataka and Yukino won because they were the funniest to us, I think. But really, all of these days with Takumi have been fun so far!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Except&#x2026; When he lectured me to eat healthier. I didn&#x27;t appreciate that because I don&#x27;t like changing my diet a lot. I mean&#x2026; I eat a lot of food, at least? I shouldn&#x27;t have to get rid of all of my junk food entirely&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I hope not, at least.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I apologised to him and that&#x2019;s when we became a couple, but you might be wondering how it happened&#x2026; I&#x27;ll copy-paste it here.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: Ugh! Takumi told me I should try to eat healthier, the nerve of him!!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Mizuki: Ojou-sama, I am sorry, but I agree with him.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: Huh!? But why!?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Yuu: Oh Nerisu&#x2026; You don&#x27;t get that with your current diet, at this rate, you&#x27;re going to turn really fat?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Yuu: You&#x2019;ve already got a small bit of chub on your belly. We can tell.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: That&#x2019;s not true! I&#x2026; Oh no, maybe you are right&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Yukino: Nerisu, you should really apologise to him~! He was only doing it for your own good, we promise~&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Takataka: He just doesn&#x27;t want you to be unhealthy, that&#x27;s all! We also feel the same way, but you never tend to listen to us&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Yuu: Nerisu&#x27;s stubbornness really came through!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: I-I! Well, fine! I-I guess I&#x27;ll&#x2026; try to diet, or something&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Takataka: Good idea! Exercise really helps as well, you could go for walks with him more often!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: I could do that more, you&#x27;re right&#x2026; Well, baby steps! And we could go to the gym, or I could get a treadmill!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Takataka: See? You can do it, Nerisu! I believe in you!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Yuu: Next thing you know, she stress eats from working too hard.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: Sh-Shut up, Yuu!!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Iori: Yuu, stop. Also, sorry. I was busy looking at one of my textbooks.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Iori: It&#x2019;s good that you want to be healthier, Nerisu. Takumi&#x2019;s doing it for your own good, I can assure you of that.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Nerisu: I know, I know&#x2026; I&#x27;m going to go apologise to him right now!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;And that&#x27;s where it ended.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I asked Takumi how talking with Takataka has been going, and he said it&#x27;s been great so far! I&#x27;m so happy, he enjoys talking to one of my friends! He also mentioned it&#x27;s slowly making him more comfortable with other people, maybe one day he&#x27;ll be able to meet the others as well! For now, I bought a treadmill and began exercising early in the morning!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Running a lot is hard work, and controlling my diet will be as well&#x2026; I&#x27;m sure I can do it! If Takumi can, I can too!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I-I&#x27;m&#x2026; curious about how he looks when topless, however. The thought makes me blush. I should ask him about it, one day&#x2026; Or maybe right now?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I want to take a selfie with him as well, and send it to my friends! It was noon, I think he was in the kitchen getting some water. I walk over there, watching him take a big sip before putting the glass back down.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Hi, Nerisu!&#x201D; He greeted me, waving.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Hi, Takumi! Umm, I was wondering&#x2026;&#x22; I began to say.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Hmm? What is it?&#x201D; He asked, probably not knowing what I had in mind.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Can I see you shirtless?&#x201D; I respond, blushing heavily.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;A-Ah! Geez, if I was drinking water, I would&#x2019;ve spat it out by now!&#x201D; He says, frowning.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;S-Sorry&#x2026; You did those pushups really easily at the park, that I was wondering what your topless body looked like! I&#x27;ve never gone swimming with you, because I thought that you didn&#x27;t like it at all, being half-cat and everything&#x2026;&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;I-it&#x27;s fine, really&#x2026; Umm, I can do that right now!&#x22; He began to remove his white shirt, revealing his pectorals and six-pack abs to me.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;They were so&#x2026; defined? So hot, oh gosh... His nipples were a nice light pink, too&#x2026; I kind of wanted to play with them. ...You know, I&#x27;m not going to write about that.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I blushed heavily, turning around after getting a good look at him for a while. &#x22;You can put your shirt back on! Y-You&#x27;re so&#x2026; attractive, Takumi&#x2026;&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I can hear him down the rest of the cup before walking over to me, wrapping her arms around my body. &#x22;Thank you, Nerisu. I find you rather attractive as well, in reality&#x2026;&#x22; He kissed my ears, making them turn slightly red. My cheeks reddened when he said he found me attractive... &#x201C;A-Ah, Takumi&#x2026; I love you&#x2026;&#x201D; I turn around to kiss him on the lips, floating up to do so.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;He returned the kiss, a soft blush on his cheeks. &#x201C;I&#x2019;ve been meaning to show you something!&#x201D; I went into one of the rooms toward the back of the hallway.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;There was a piano and violin, along with a big table. You could sit down at the piano and play, or sit down at the table or play the violin. &#x201C;I haven&#x2019;t shown you me playing the piano, have I?&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I sit down at the piano and then begin to play a recognisable tune. It was the title theme to Royalty Romance. I look down at the piano keys as I began to play the song. It was an easy tune; a somber, sweet and romantic one. I played the song in C major.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;My fingers delicately and quickly hit the keys, with Takumi going &#x201C;Wow&#x2026;&#x201D; in the background. I smile back at him when I finish the song, and he claps.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;That was great, Nerisu! I sometimes had a feeling that you played those instruments since I could hear them from the hallway! Wow, you&#x27;re really talented with the arts, aren&#x27;t you?&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Oh, I&#x27;m just super good with my hands! Thank you, I wanted you to hear them, so that&#x27;s why I left the door open! Ehehe~&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Ahaha, really? Well, that&#x27;s cute.&#x22; He smiled, petting my head which made me purr.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Have you ever thought of trying pottery or anything? Maybe even sculpting figurines?&#x201D; He asked, his tail shaped into a question mark.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Oh, I&#x2019;ve been meaning to! You seem like you&#x2019;d be really good at those, if you ask me! I think you&#x2019;re even more talented than I am with the arts!&#x201D; I respond.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;It was true, he was a faster artist and quickly became way better than me when we were younger.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Th-That&#x27;s&#x2026; well, you&#x27;re still good at it! I&#x27;m just naturally talented at drawing, I guess?&#x22; He was blushing, how adorable!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Ehehe, you&#x27;re so cute~ Thank you, but it&#x27;s okay! It&#x27;s not a competition, even if I&#x27;m so fantastic at it~&#x22; I boasted, placing my hands on my hips with a grin.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;U-Uh&#x2026; yeah&#x2026;&#x22; His nose scrunched up, I wonder why? Was it because of what I said? He never really complained about stuff like that. Or is he hiding it?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Anyway, I was thinking we should have an exercise room! I already repurposed the area next to this one for it, yaaay! This means you can buy all of your workout machines and do it with me!!&#x22; I really wanted to exercise with him!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Huh? Sure, I&#x27;ll have to ask what they use at the gym&#x2026; It&#x27;s probably super expensive, but we can save up for it. For now, I&#x27;ll keep going there.&#x22; I puff my cheeks, but I understand what he&#x27;s trying to say.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;Boo, fine&#x2026; I was hoping you could go there as soon as possible, you see!&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;I&#x27;ll go there tomorrow, does that make you happy?&#x22;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x22;It does, it does!! Thank you so much, Takumi!!&#x22; I hug and kiss him, smiling widely at the same time. I can see him sigh, I guess he didn&#x2019;t like how I was a little unhappy by him not wanting to get the equipment as soon as possible? I got my way, regardless~&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;...Well, I should probably be more considerate. I can wait while he goes to the gym, I guess.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;No, wait&#x2026; Do it when you remember, okay?&#x201D; I pet his head, he purrs momentarily.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Okay, thank you... &#x201C; He seemed happier when I said that.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;That reminds me of how I&#x2019;ve started receiving a few angry messages about people finding out I&#x2019;m dating Takumi&#x2026; I blocked everyone who insulted me for it, but it really hurt&#x2026; I already told Takumi, and he cheered me up by rubbing my back while petting my head in bed.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;He&#x2019;s so dear to me&#x2026; Takumi is my darling, no matter what! I think I&#x27;ll end it there for today, that was a little long! I&#x27;m looking forward to more of my days with Takumi!&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
