Miranda turned us down, from all things, after hearing her confession and then after we confessed, to be turned down felt horrendous!
So this is what it feels like… in all my previous life I was never turned down because I never approached any girl, I was a pathetic vɨrġɨn to the end, mostly because I was too shy and really didn't require any other girl, mostly, I was way too focused in my studies, part-time job, and my beloved family to seek for a woman to be with, and I had a pretty low self-esteem regarding my appearance.
But in this life, the first girl I loved was Benladann and she never turned me down, so it all went smoothly, but now, my charm has failed me…
"D-Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean I don't like you… I-It's just that we are going way too fast! I-I bet you two perverts just want to devour me on a bed or something…" she sighed.
"H-How did you know?" we asked at the same time."Ugh… So it was true! T-Then we can't do it yet! We have to go slowly, step by step… T-This is how I want it to be!" she said while crossing her arms rather selfishly, like a true tsundere that didn't want to do as she was told.
"Okay…" we sighed.
"Come on, cheer up… Let's first have a couple of dates… I just want it to be more romantic…" she sighed.
Romantic… I suppose I get it. Maybe we were trying to jump into bed activities way too soon. Miranda wants a more romantic approach for the start, just like I did with Benladann, we didn't jump into sėxuȧŀ stuff until very late, so maybe we should do the same.
"Okay, we get it…" said Benladann while pouting a bit.
"Yeah, alright. How do you want this to get done?" I wondered.
"E-Erm… Ah… N-now all out of a sudden, I am being given this responsibility… Erm… Huhh… I have to think about it, but nothing too much, really!" she said."Okay then! We'll make sure to make you happy." Said Benladann.
"Leave it to us," I said.
"T-This means a lot to me… Y-You've become the most important person in my life… Thank you… for being understandable even after everything we had gone through." Sighed Miranda.
"Aww, dear, come here!" sighed Benladann.
"You're so cute… Sorry for being so rude with you back then, I didn't know you were so adorable deep down." I said.
We both hugged her tightly, as she seemed happy, even giggling a little bit
"Hehe… Don't worry, back then I was consumed by a lot of envy and hatred… But now that I've calmed down, I feel way better and happier, you made me realize these things by being harsh to me, so it's fine. You don't have to apologize, Drake…" said Miranda, as she held my hand.
"Hm…! Miranda has changed a lot since then, she's definitely not the same as back then." Said Benladann.
"Indeed, I think the same… Now, let's resume our breakfast and wait for any reports from Huginn and Muninn. Today I feel like going to the gardens, want to come with me and have a picnic for lunch?" I asked.
"Sounds like a plan!" said Benladann.
"W-We could make this our first date…" said Miranda.
After having breakfast, Miranda went to the bathroom to take a bath and slowly get ready for the picnic. Meanwhile, I went to the kitchen with Benladann, where we spoke about stuff.
"Thank you for being so open with her, Drake… You're really amazing." She said.
"Huh? Really?" I asked.
"Even after all she did you still loved her back… You're way too nice! Sigh… T-This is why I love you so much, you know? D-Don't forget that even with Miranda in the mix now, alright?" she said. Did I hear some hint of jealously? Perhaps she was saving it very deeply so Miranda wouldn't see it.
"I get it… You're also someone amazing, and I love you as well, Benladann. You're my greatest treasure, I already told you, didn't I?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah… Geez… You don't have to go all the way!" she sighed.
However, as we were preparing things, I decided to hold her hɨps and move her near me, giving her a passionate kiss.
"Hmm~?!"
"Hahh…!"
"Why did you kiss me out of nowhere, y-you idiot…?" she sighed while blushing a lot.
"Hehe, you get a lot like Miranda sometimes… I don't know if these are mood swings due to being pregnant or if she's really part of you as well, it's a mystery we'll have to figure out." I said.
"Ah, come here." She said, suddenly grabbing my shirt and dragging me towards her, as she stole me a kiss…
"Eh? T-That was quite bold… I feel like an ȧssaulted prince now…" I sighed.
"Fufu, did you like it~? I-I can also be rather active in the relationship!" she said while smiling a bit cheekily.
"I don't really mind…" I said.
"Fufu… Uwah! It made me embarrassed…"
However, Benladann suddenly exploded as she showed off her true colors, she was embarrassed. She covered her face as she grew red like a tomato. She couldn't hold the act for way too soon, it seems.
"Hehe, my cute Benladann-chan never changes…" I said.
"Aw, don't laugh at me! I-I was trying to act cool!" she said.
"You're always cool as you are. Don't worry. Benladann-chan is my idol." I said.
"Idol?!" she asked.
"Indeed! Like, I pray to you every night." I said.
"Now you're just joking around, idiot!" she said while half-angered half-embarrassed.
"Hahah! Come on, don't be so serious. We are between lovers here." I chuckled.
"I'll give you a suplex if you keep teasing me…" she said.
"Okay, okay, okay! No need to get physical with it, I get it…" I giggled, as she looked at me while pouting and then sighed, kissing my nose.
"Let's get lunch done already…" she said.
"Alright," I said.
