The Passive Income System

[10 Minutes Later]

Sawako and I sat on my couch, the awkwardness between us slowly fading as we joked around and tried to avoid mentioning it. However, her ears were still slightly pink, and at times, she seemed lost in a daze. Honestly, I could only tell because we weren't sitting far apart, our shoulders nearly touched, and we were almost leaning on each other.

If it weren't for the hum of the A/C keeping the room cool, I'd be a hot mess right now. I could handle a lot, but my energy bar was running out quicker today then normal, and I knew it was my fault. I still couldn't come to terms with the stupid shit I did earlier this morning!

I put the thought behind me as best I could, "I'm glad we were able to make a proper spot for everything!"

"Amane, how have you never used anything in your kitchen besides your fridge and sink?" She stared at me like I was some strange specimen. She had to understand most guys didn't care. As long as the food wasn't actual garbage, they'd eat it!

"I just ate out."

"What a waste of money!"

"Hey! I beg to differ. That food was good... sometimes."

"You can't even say that without looking away."

"Tch! That's not the point. Supplement jelly and takeout were the way to go!"

"No wonder you looked kind of greasy when I first met you."

"AH?!" I exaggeratedly clutched my chest and turned away in "pain."

"Pfft~ Are you copying my dad?"

I looked at her with the straightest face possible. "Yes."

"Phehe~" Her giggling tickled my arm as her body moved in unison with it.

"HAAAA~! Oof, sorry." I let out a massive yawn. It wasn't even noon yet, and I already felt exhausted. This morning had been a lot.

Pa~pa~

"Hm?" Sawako lightly patted her lap. I wasn't clueless enough to not understand what she meant, but I didn't quite get her reasoning.

"You serious?" I gave her a chance to retract her offer. I didn't want to assume too quickly, but her meaning wasn't exactly hard to figure out.

"Yeah! You deserve it!" She showed no hesitation or fear, so I took her up on her offer. Scooting further down, I rested my head on her thighs. Her jeans made them look appealing, but feeling them against my face made me appreciate them even more. The suppleness and texture weren't what I'd expected from someone of her stature. She was more blessed than I'd thought!

"How is it?"

I looked up to answer her, but my view was immediately filled with two mounds. From this angle, it was impossible to ignore. Sawako usually and even right now dressed modestly, hiding her figure, but this position made it impossible to miss. She was rocking a C-cup based on first glance, which I honestly hadn't expected. Since I was always looking down at her and rarely focused on those areas unless they stood out, I hadn't noticed until now.

Too add even more icing on the cake...

"Your hair is really soft! Oh and you should style it instead of letting it hang like you do!" She started playing with my hair and running her fingers through it. The sensation was too relaxing. 

"I'll take...your...sugge..."

{Sawako's POV}

He fell asleep so quickly. Does this really feel that good? Mom sure knows her stuff, I'll have to make her a nice dinner soon!

I couldn't stop myself from playing with Amane's hair as he slept peacefully. The more I brushed it aside and got a closer look at his face, the more I realized he was way more attractive than anyone would think! His figure looked quite good fit but not bulky more lean and he was above average in height. I'm sure if he took it seriously, he could play basketball or some other sport. I wonder why he never did before?

I wanted to know more about him, and I really wanted to hang out with him more often. If only I'd gathered the courage to text him after Monday… I feel like such an idiot for not doing that! This wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be. It feels like, magically or maybe just by his mere presence, I can be more bold. However, when he isn't around, I feel like I could never do something like this in a million years.

I-I'm really glad he didn't reject me on this! I'd probably cry from embarrassment if he had.

Time passed slowly but not in a bad way as I continued petting him. I glanced around the room, noticing the small stack of videos games which looked like most hadn't even been opened. I didn't know how they were supposed to look anyways so maybe he did actually play these absolute mountain of games. At some point, I felt my eyes grow heavy, and my vision went black.

[A Few Hours Later]

Ring~ Ring~

"Huh?" The sound of a phone ringing woke me up. Did I fall asleep too?

I slowly rubbed my eyes and grabbed my phone, pressing answer in the same motion.

"Yes?" I asked, completely unaware of a pretty important fact.

"Huh? Sawako?" It was a male voice I recognized, though it felt strange to hear.

"I-Itsuki-san? How did you get my number?"

Maybe Yume gave it to him?

"I, uh, didn't. I called Amane! Hehehe, am I interrupting a date? Should I stay at Chitose's today?"

"U-Um, that's not necessary!" I panicked a little too loudly. I glanced down at Amane, who was still resting peacefully, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew~"

"Hopefully, I didn't wake up Amane."

"H-How?"

"How did I know he's asleep?"

"Yeah?"

"As one of his closest friends, I know how he is!"

"A-And that means what exactly?"

"Nothing~!"

"…"

I see why Amane always looks like he wants to hit him. He really is infuriating like this!

"Hmph!" I hung up the phone. Did I have any right to? No… but I-I can just tell Amane later.

"Ugh…"

EH?!

Amane rolled over, his face burying into my belly, most of it snuggling against m-m-m-m… Not to mention, the warmth of his breath brushing against both a-areas. My heart raced faster than I thought humanly possible. THIS IS TOO MUCH, MOM!
