Perspective: Yukino

Hachiman, Komachi-san and I spent the remaining of our time watching television in the living room while Hachiman's parents went to sleep. On the same couch I first kissed him on, I leaned my head on his shoulder while he had an arm wrapped lazily around my midsection much to the amusement of Komachi-san. Although her excitement has died down compared to when she first saw us, she nonetheless remained smiling at our display of affection. Not to mention the constant teasing from Komachi-san. Other than that, I simply enjoyed the peace between us and I dozed off for quite some time.

As I regained consciousness, Hachiman's face came into view and I blushed slightly at the proximity of it. I can feel his breath on my face and we are close enough to where I could reach up and kiss him. However, I looked to the side to see Komachi-san with an expecting grin. I quickly got up, much to the disappointment of Komachi-san.

"I'm heading to bed, I tired. Night, Yukino, Komachi." He said stretching and yawning then walking up the stairs, it would seem that he also fell asleep too.

"Oh Oni-chan, before you go I wanted to show you and Yukino-neesan something." She says as she holds her phone towards us. On it is a picture of laying on each other and we both blush heavily at it "I got some really good shots, anyway come on Yukino-neesan! I'm going to make Oni-chan take you out on your first date so we need to head to bed. Plus, Oni-chan is a lazy butt on the weekends, so he'll need a lot of sleep too."

"Oi! Why are you the one gets to decide what I do?!" Hachiman says visibly annoyed

"Because I'm your cute little sister and it earns lots of points!" She says grinning

"Siscon…" I mutter out teasingly and in response Hachiman sighs and leaves to his room without another word. Komachi then suddenly grabs hold of my hand and I find myself pulled to her room. Komachi-san's room is somewhat similar to Yui-san's room. It is decorated in girly things and she has a few pictures of her friends and even a few of Hachiman when he was younger. In the majority of the pictures involving Hachiman, he seems to not to be in the picture. His eyes are the same dead fish eyes of now, but with a lot less life. His smile was equally disturbing. Most of the pictures his smile was empty, conveying a lack of joy and a desire to simply leave. I felt pity for him, as I knew that the young Hachiman went through ridicule just as I had.

"Come on Yukino-neesan! We have to pick out what you're going to wear! Don't worry, I'm sure I have some clothes that fit you somewhere…" She says as she scans around her room

"Komachi-san… I-It's not necessary, when can do it on another day…"

"Nope! Not going to hear it! You can't just keep wearing my clothes and my mom's, so you and Oni-Chan need to go out on your date and pick out clothes." She says as she grabs some clothing from her closet and inspects them, pairing them up in groups to see what looks best

"I don't want to be taking your brother's money though… It feels very rude…"

"As long as you let Oni-Chan see you in a lot of cute outfits, he won't mind. He always has this weird thing in not letting a girl pay. It may be one of my Oni-Chan's positive qualities."

"I don't think it's is only one… But I suppose it is really nice to have for a man that can be so rude as him."

After finishing pairing up a few outfits, Komachi-san has me change into them to see what she thinks. Some were obviously too tight, but some did manage to fit me and we finally managed to find something that according to Komachi-san looked "extremely cute" Next Komachi-san insisted that we try various hairstyles and we decided on pigtails. Now that I think about it, the outfit almost looked exactly like what I wore with Hachiman at the mall when we were buying Yui-san's present. I found myself smiling lightly at that regard, it brought me back.

"So, Yukino-neesan, did you two do it yet?"

I nearly choke on my own breath at her words, just how far does this girl's teasing reach?!

"N-No, Komachi-san…"

"Do you not want to?" She asks with a look pure indifference

"I-If we have dated for a decent bit of time, although I would like to wait for marriage due to my famil-." I pause and ponder for a moment, what's holding me back from before marriage? I no longer have to abide by that set of rules that my parents put on me. Though, that doesn't mean I want to jump into doing something like that… anytime soon "I wouldn't be opposed to doing those things with Hachiman..."

"Mom and Dad want Oni-chan to wait until after marriage too, for their own reasons. That's probably why they freaked out on you two. They also didn't expect Hachiman to get as beautiful as a girlfriend as you Yukino-san, or even a girlfriend at all, Yukino-neesan."

"I understand why my family would want me to wait until marriage, but why would your parents want that?"

"Well, Oni-chan was born when my Mom was only 17. It put them through a lot of stress and money problems. I think that's why they are so indifferent towards Oni-Chan, because he was an accident."

Her words send a cold anger through me. Hachiman never talks about his parents and although they seem like good people, they don't seem to be that loving towards him. From the brief conversations I witnessed between them, they seem to put Hachiman on a tight leash. Just like my mother had done to me. I felt bitter towards them, but I had to hold my tongue. These people let me stay with them.

"That doesn't mean they don't love him though, they do. They just see it as he is the role model for me and they really don't want him to make the same mistakes that they did."

"I don't think it would be wise to use that… Rotten Hachiman as a role model…" I say with a smiling slightly

"I know right! He can be such a dimwit and he can be kind of creepy sometimes. Especially with his anime and manga stuff."

"Indeed. They do make him seem like a huge pervert." Not that I mind that though, so long as he did it with me…

"Oh yeah Yukino-san, did you know that Oni-Chan has a box of condoms in his room? I never knew why he bought those, but I guess with you around now it may come in handy."

Her words caused me to flush red and Komachi-san only giggled further in response. Eventually though, after a while of talking about studies, Hachiman, and other things we decided to head to sleep. It was nice to catch up with Komachi-san, but I could not rest yet. Not until I got my answer from him. So after an hour or so of waiting for Komachi-san to fall asleep, I crept silently out of the room and to Hachiman's room.

Perspective: Hachiman

After leaving those two, I feel lazily onto my bed and quickly let my consciousness give way to sleep. The darkness of the dreamscape was the only thing that I could see, but yet I could not see it. I could not do anything about the darkness, but in my subconscious I must have realized that I was asleep. I suppose that I could call myself a lucid dreamer, but I never seem to have control on what happens. Normally my mind would recall events from the past at random, some pointless, some happy, and some painful. It was all random.

But suddenly, there began before me a brilliant flash of white and so a world came to view. Except, it did not seem as the world. The sky was the purest of white and where I stood seemed to be a roof. The roof of the school. I felt a tap upon my shoulder, I turned around to see a figure standing before me. Its frame small, its eyes a piercing black, and the most wicked of smiles was adorned upon its face. I tried to back away from the figure, but that proved to be futile. I was held in place. Then the figure split violently in two, forming new figures. These figures were not of the same liking as the original, they were much more familiar to me. They glowed a mixture of white and black, but their faces were of the two whom I was closest. Yuigahama and Yukino.

CHOOSE

"Hikki..."

"Hachiman..."

"Hachiman..."

"Hachiman!"

As quickly as the monster appeared before me, the vision once again blurred and I was met with the purest of blue eyes and behind those lied my room. It would seem I have awoken, but that was the least of my concerns. On me lie Yukino, her eyes held a look of worry and her lips seemed to quiver at the proximity of our faces. At first I thought I was still in dream, but her light weight on my body proved to me otherwise.

"Yukino...?" I groaned out

"I'm sorry I woke you... You were having a nightmare..."

Well, I'm glad you woke me from it but that does not explain in the least why you're here, not that I mind it personally.

"Thanks then..." I say as I try to rise, but am left unable due to Yukino holding me down. Looking down, I see that Yukino was straddling my hips and when I went to look up at her again, her lips crashed with mine and I was left once again unable to move. The kiss held within it a great deal of passion which I happily returned with what I thought was equal despite my disorientated state. I may have just woken, but when your girlfriend gives you a kiss it is best to return it with that same passion as given to you. But within the kiss there were forces that I could not fully understand. The kiss felt hungered and desperate, so I tried my best to satisfy those forces. Our tongues danced back and forth, but alas the need for air arised. Breaking from the kiss, we both breathed heavily as to regain our breath and I looked at Yukino inquisitively.

"Shouldn't we save stuff like this for the date?" I ask in a teasing manner

"Perhaps I couldn't resist the opportunity for it now, as we are alone. Normally I wouldn't do something of this sort, but I suppose the Hikigerms are prohibiting my rational thought."

"Being around these supposed "Hikigerms" and not dying from them, you should have gained immunity from their effects." Came my swift rebuttal and she giggled in response softly

"Like all germs, they evolve and change to fit the environment they are around. Therefore, it is logical that I am still effected by them."

"I suppose we have changed quite a bit." I say allowed not meaning to, but that statement was true. We both had changed, over the course of my entering into the Service Club but also from the moment this whole ordeal began and the moment we began to date. I'm sure we did not anticipate to become this close and loving towards one another in the course of a few days, but neither of us has had any romantic experience. I suppose that matters not though, because I feel as our actions have came to us naturally and we follow what is natural without hindrance. Hell, I didn't anticipate Yukino to be as cute and as loving as she has been, this moment included. It seemed to me a moment straight out of a manga, but it wasn't forced and it was very much real in this moment so I did nothing to stop it.

My words seemed to hold a significance to Yukino as well. I think her thoughts are similar to that of mine, but the look of surprise that adorned her face may prove otherwise.

"We have. We're moving forward rapidly and without knowing what we've got ourselves into or what is to come. I cannot help but to fear constantly of the road ahead, I do not wish to see an end to the Service Club, but neither do I and even more so do I not want to see what has happened between us to end, Hachiman." She said with much resolve.

I looked at her, the moonlight shone on her face and she was illuminated by the beauty of the moonlight. She looked brilliant and stunning in this movement, despite the common pajamas she wore. I looked into the blue of her eyes and they gazed back and into every fiber of my being and I gazed into her being as well. I saw a need for connection, a pillar of support, and a deep passion. I kissed her in the same manner that we had before but I wrapped my arms around her tightly and tilted my head to deepen the kiss. She squeaked in response, but nonetheless returned it with the same gusto.

"I feel the same." I say recovering my breath from the kiss

"Prove it to me."

"How?"

"Hold me tonight."

And so, we fell asleep in each other's arms and for me the nightmare did not come back because I had made my choice.
