The night was quiet, the city lights flickering in the distance as Keiko and I sat on a park bench, simply enjoying each other's company.


The cool breeze brushed against my skin, and for the first time in a long while, I felt at peace.


"Keiko, now that you've found me like this... what did you tell the police when they were searching for me?" I asked, my curiosity finally getting the best of me.


Keiko let out a soft sigh, leaning back against the bench. "I couldn’t exactly tell them I found you, could I?" She shook her head before continuing. "I told them to give up if they couldn’t find anything in two months. If that happened, the case would eventually turn cold, and they’d mark you as a voluntary disappearance."


I lowered my head. "I'm sorry, Keiko. I put you in such a difficult situation."


Keiko glanced at me, her expression unreadable. "This isn't really your fault. You didn’t ask to turn into a teenage girl. None of this makes any sense."


"Still... Thank you, Keiko," I said sincerely, my voice trembling slightly. She looked at me, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions.


"For what?" she asked.


"For still accepting me. After everything I did to hurt you back then, after all the mistakes I made… even after I turned into a girl, you didn’t push me away." I exhaled deeply, trying to hold back the emotions welling up in my chest. "I don’t know if I could have done the same if our roles were reversed. If you had turned into a teenage boy… I don’t know if I could have accepted it so easily, like you did for me."


Keiko remained silent, her gaze softening.


"I want to spend the rest of my life making it up to you and Rin," I continued, gripping her hand tightly. "I really mean it."


Keiko looked at me for a moment before turning her gaze away, exhaling through her nose. "You don’t have to force yourself."


I shook my head and squeezed her hand tighter. "I’m not forcing myself. I want to do this."


She gave a small smile, almost to herself. "Suit yourself then."


I released a deep breath before slowly pulling her into a hug. "I’m really sorry, Keiko," I whispered, burying my face into her shoulder.


For a moment, she didn't move, but then I felt her arms wrap around me, her chin resting on my shoulder. We stayed like that, feeling each other's warmth, neither of us speaking.


"Let's go home?" I finally murmured, my voice soft against her ear.


Keiko hesitated for a second before answering, "Okay."


We started walking, our fingers intertwined, side by side under the night sky. Everything felt natural, like we were rediscovering something that had been lost.


Then, Keiko suddenly stopped in her tracks.


I turned to her, worried. "Are you okay? Are your feet hurting?" I crouched down instinctively, checking her ankles.


"I’m fine," she said, but her voice was hesitant.


I looked up at her, confused. If she wasn’t in pain, then why did she stop? Keiko looked nervous, her hands fidgeting slightly.


"Can we… not going home tonight?" she finally asked.


I felt my heart pound in my chest. My breath hitched.


I knew what she meant.


It had been a long time since we had done something like that. But now… I wasn’t a man anymore. I am a girl. Would she really be okay with this?


"I… but I’m a girl now," I said, guilt creeping into my voice.


Keiko looked down, her lips pressing into a thin line. "Right…" she murmured, and she began walking again.


I sighed. "W-wait."


I grabbed her wrist gently, stopping her. My mind was a mess, but deep down, I knew that I wanted this too.


I hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Let’s do it."


Keiko looked at me in shock, but she didn’t resist when I took her hand and led her forward. Neither of us spoke as we walked through the quiet streets.


---


We arrived at a love hotel. My heart was hammering against my ribs as I led her inside, our hands still linked together.


"Wait here," I told Keiko, motioning for her to sit in the lobby while I went to book a room. My hands were slightly shaking as I spoke to the receptionist.


Once I got the key, I turned back to Keiko, swallowing my nerves. "Let’s go."


I stuttered slightly, gripping her hand as I led her toward the room. My mind was spinning—not just from the fact that it had been so long, but because this was my first time… as a girl.


As soon as we entered the room, the tension became unbearable.


Neither of us spoke.


Keiko sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers gripping the sheets. Her face was red, and I could tell she was just as nervous as I was.


"O-oh wow, they have a lot of stuff here," I said, trying to break the silence. "W-well, we’ve never been to one before, right? Haha…"


God, I sounded so awkward.


Keiko stayed quiet, her gaze downcast.


Then, as if my brain completely short-circuited, I blurted out, "Oh wait, I need to buy condoms—"


I stopped midway, realizing my mistake.


"...Or I don’t need them, ahaha…" I forced a laugh, scratching my cheek.


Keiko sighed.


I hesitated before sitting beside her. The warmth of her body so close to mine made my heart race.


"Do you… want to take a bath first?" I asked softly.


Keiko nodded without saying a word. She stood up, took off her glasses and walked into the bathroom.


I need to calm down and take the lead like I always do. After a moment of hesitation, I decided to follow her.


I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. Keiko gasped, already halfway undressed. Her back was turned to me, her bare shoulders trembling slightly.


I didn’t hesitate. I started undressing myself and slipped into the bathtub first.


"Come in here," I said gently.


Keiko didn’t move. She was still facing the wall, naked and unsure.


I stood up, reached for her hand, and pulled her toward me. She gasped as she fell into my embrace, and we both tumbled softly into the warm water.


Before she could say anything, I leaned in and kissed her.


Keiko froze for a second, then slowly relaxed.


As soon as I felt her respond, I deepened the kiss, letting my lips trail down to her neck.


She let out a soft moan.


I smiled against her skin, feeling relieved.


She wanted this.


I pulled away from the kiss and looked at Keiko’s face—she was completely flustered. Her cheeks were burning red, and her gaze flickered downward, too shy to meet my eyes. I couldn't help but smile at how adorable she looked.


Gently, I reached for her hair, running my fingers through the wet strands as I lathered the shampoo. She stayed still, simply watching me with wide eyes.


"You know," I teased with a smirk, "you're fourteen years older now. Shouldn't you be the one leading me in things like this?"


The moment I said that, Keiko’s blush deepened, and she quickly shook her head. "I-I'm bad at this... Sorry."


I chuckled at her reaction. "Sorry, I was just teasing you." My voice softened as I rinsed the soap from her hair. "Honestly, this is my first time… as a girl, I mean. So I'm just as nervous as you."


I cupped her chin gently, tilting her face so she’d look at me. "Just follow my lead, okay?"


Keiko swallowed, then gave me a small nod. Her face was so red, and for a moment, she looked so vulnerable yet beautiful.


I gently lifted her to her feet and began washing her body, my fingers gliding over her skin. She gasped softly at my touch. Leaning closer, I whispered, "Wash me too... Keiko." She nodded, her hands trembling slightly as she reached for me.


She moved carefully, her fingers running through my hair, lathering the shampoo with slow, gentle motions. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation of her touch, the warmth of her fingers against my scalp.


“You’re really careful with this,” I murmured, smiling.


Keiko let out a soft chuckle. “I just… don’t want to mess up.”


I opened my eyes and looked at her. “It’s just washing hair. You’re acting like it’s some kind of test.”


Keiko hesitated but then smiled shyly. “I don’t know… I just want to do it properly.”


Something about the way she said that made my chest feel warm. I reached for her hand, intertwining my fingers with hers for a moment before guiding it down to my shoulder. “Then keep going.”


She swallowed, nodding as she moved her hands lower, tracing the curves of my back, the soap trailing behind her touch. The warmth of her palms sent small shivers down my spine. I leaned in slightly, pressing my forehead against her shoulder.


“You’re really warm…” I murmured.


Keiko let out a soft breath, her fingers gripping my waist lightly. “So are you.”


I pulled back slightly to meet her gaze. Her face was red, her lips slightly parted. I smiled, tucking a strand of wet hair behind her ear. “You don’t have to hold back, Keiko.”


She hesitated but then nodded. “Okay…”


Her hands moved again, this time slower, more deliberate, as she continued to wash my body. I closed my eyes, trusting her touch, letting myself relax in her care.


After we rinsed off, Keiko reached for a towel, trying to dry herself. But before she could finish, I scooped her up in a princess carry.


She let out a surprised gasp. "Whoa! What are you doing?"


Ignoring her question, I gently tossed her onto the bed, hovering over her with a smirk. "I'll be the one to dry you," I murmured.


Her eyes widened in surprise, but before she could respond, I captured her lips in a deep, hungry kiss. As our lips moved together, my hand slipped down, undoing her towel, letting it fall away. Her breath hitched as her body was exposed once again, a soft gasp escaping her lips.


In this moment, nothing else existed—just the warmth of our bodies, the passion we shared, and the way we lost ourselves in each other.


Every touch, every kiss, every whispered breath drew us closer, making up for all the lost time. But what truly sent shivers down my spine was when I heard Keiko moaning my name—Ryusei—with raw emotion. 


All of these meant everything to me. It wasn’t just about the pleasure—it was about trust, about connection. Keiko had opened her heart to me again, allowing me back into a place I thought I had lost forever. It was more than just physical; it was a silent promise, a second chance woven between our breaths and lingering touches.


All I must do now is hold her closer, cherish her even more, and make sure that this time, I never let her down again.
