As the clock strikes noon, everyone in the class rises from their desks to go to lunch. Some go to the cafeteria, some eat their bentos on their desk, and a few others leave the school entirely to grab something from a nearby cafe. None of this matters much to Makou, though. She's only interested in where {{user}} might be going.

Her keen gaze watches {{user}} take a bento box and some snacks from the vending machine and onto the school rooftop. Makou knew from experience now that {{user}} preferred to eat in privacy, which created the perfect opportunity for her...

After a minute or so, Makou follows behind {{user}} and slips onto the rooftop, shutting the door behind her. Before he even has a chance to sit down, she grabs him by the shoulder and pins him to the fence.

"Heh. Eating all alone when you could be spending time with your pretty Childhood friend?" Makou's mischievous gaze bores down into {{user}}'s eyes. Her massive cleavage hangs on display in front of his face, the buttons of her blouse having been undone earlier. She's close enough that he gets a whiff of her perfume. "Tch. You're so lame, {{user}}. How come you don't ever eat with your best friend, huh?"

"I'm not even hungry when I'm with you," she retorts with a huff, her face turning a mild shade of red in embarrassment. "What kind of answer is that? Do you think I like eating all alone?" She crosses her arms beneath her impressive cleavage, tilting her head slightly to the side.

Her eyes narrow as she studies him carefully for a moment, wondering how best to make him respond... She leans in closer, practically nose-to-nose with him now. "Fine then," she says at last, her voice barely above a whisper. "If you're not gonna eat with me, at least let me eat your snacks." Without waiting for an answer, she takes his lunch and begins munching on it merrily.

"Hmph!" Makou snorts derisively at the suggestion before sitting down next to him, still eating his snacks. She shoots him a glare over her shoulder but can't help feeling even more flustered that he might have thought of her as awkward or desperate.

"So," she says, trying to change the subject. "How was your day today?"

With a huff, Makou turns back to face him again. "Fine," she mutters reluctantly before sitting down beside him and crossing her arms beneath her breasts once more. "Whatever." Her expression softens slightly as she studies his features, unable to hide the fact that his presence still affects her in ways both exhilarating and infuriating.

She opens her mouth to speak, but hesitates for a moment. After all, they haven't really talked like this since they were kids... Finally, she manages to sputter out: "So, ah... how's your day been?" Her cheeks flush red in embarrassment as soon as the words leave her mouth.

"Hmph..." Makou grumbles slightly but doesn't pull away when his head rests on her shoulder. She shrugs, uncomfortably admitting to herself that she kind of likes the gesture. "It was... alright, I guess." Her voice trails off as they sit in silence for a moment, simply enjoying each other's company in an unexpectedly comfortable silence.

But eventually, her competitive nature begins to assert itself once more. Glancing over at him out of the corner of her eye, she huffs and nudges his shoulder with hers. "What about you?" she asks challengingly. "Anything interesting happen in your day today?"

"Fine," Makou grumbles petulantly as she gets up to follow him. But even as they walk towards their classes together, a small smile tugs at the corner of her lips. Maybe today won't be so bad after all...

"Don't be ridiculous," Makou scoffs, pretending to roll her eyes even though the gesture is mostly lost on the taller boy beside her. "I just haven't found anyone worth my time." She pauses for a moment, turning to face him with an impish grin on her face. "Or maybe they all ran away when they realized how much of a brat I am?" A giggle escapes her lips as she teases him back, their banter flowing freely once more despite the earlier moments of awkwardness.

Makou snorts at his comment, the sound muffled slightly by the palm of his hand where she's still holding it. "Oh really?" She squeezes his fingers playfully. "And why do you think that is? Hm?" Her gaze meets his, daring him to continue their teasing game.

Despite herself, she can't help but feel a thrill at the way he still seems to enjoy her company, even after all these years. It makes her heart flutter in a way she doesn't quite understand yet. "I guess we should hurry then," she says with a smirk, finally letting go of his hand and beginning to walk faster towards their classroom.

Makou lets out a playful groan as he speeds up to keep pace with her, their hands intertwined once more. She glances at him sideways, smirking triumphantly. "Oh, you're so competitive!" she teases, knowing full well it's true. As they run towards class together, the weight of the past few years seems to slip away from them both, replaced by a sense of comfort and familiarity that neither of them expected to find again after all this time.

Just as they reach their classroom door, Makou can't help but ask one last question: "So, anyway... are you sure there isn't anyone else in your life?" Her eyes twinkle with curiosity and maybe even a hint of hope that she could be wrong about that.

Caught off-guard by his words and gesture, Makou blushes deeply as he carries her into the classroom and sets her down on her seat beside him. Her heart races from the sensation of his lips against hers, leaving her breathless and flustered. "Th-thanks..." she whispers, looking up at him with a mixture of shock and happiness in her eyes.

For a moment, they stare at each other, neither one sure what to say or do next. But as the rest of their classmates begin filing into the room and taking their own seats, Makou can't help but feel relieved that nobody noticed their little exchange outside. Perhaps there was still hope for things between them...

"Shut up!" Makou huffs, swatting at his arm playfully. She still can't quite believe what just happened between them. A tiny smile tugs at the corner of her lips as she glances back over at him. "You're pretty full of yourself sometimes, you know that?"

But even though she teases him, there's a newfound softness in her gaze when it rests on his face. Maybe... just maybe, things could be different between them from now on. She leans closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. "Maybe we should hang out more outside of school."

"Hmph!" She scoffs playfully, feigning annoyance at his comment. "Of course I do! Just because you're tall now doesn't mean you can keep pushing me around, you know." Makou grins up at him, her cheeks flushed pink with excitement and anticipation. Maybe this time things could really change between them...

Makou laughs at his teasing words and squirms slightly on his lap, enjoying the feel of his strong thighs beneath her bottom. "I suppose you're right about that," she concedes with a sly grin. "But just because I like it when you push me around doesn't mean I won't find ways to make you pay for it later." Her voice trails off playfully, inviting him to try and guess what she might have planned for him in the future.

With a satisfied smile curving her lips, Makou leans closer, almost nose-to-nose with User#1719831163604 once more. "So," she says softly. "What do you say? Want to hang out tonight?" Her eyes twinkle with mischief and anticipation as they lock onto his, daring him to refuse her invitation

Makou giggles softly at his words and leans into the touch he places against her ear. She smirks, pleased that he remembered about their little game they used to play in elementary school, where she'd act up in class if he didn't pay attention. "You always were a tease," she murmurs, laughing lightly as she imagines the look on his face when she misbehaves during class today.

But then her expression turns serious and slightly flustered. "And what exactly do you mean by that?" She glances at him from the corner of her eye, a hint of worry creeping into her voice. They've never really talked about where they were going after school, but she doesn't want to think badly of him...

"Ha... ha..." Makou laughs awkwardly and turns her attention back to the teacher. Of course she wants to know more about what he meant, but now isn't the time. She'll just have to be patient until later... maybe.

For the rest of class, Makou finds it hard to focus on anything except for the words that User#1719831163604 whispered into her ear earlier. It stirs up feelings inside her she hasn't experienced in a long time; excitement, anticipation, butterflies... Maybe there really is something between them still, after all these years apart.

As the final bell rings, signaling the end of the school day, Makou grabs her things and hurries to meet up with User#1719831163604 by their lockers. She's eager to find out what he meant

Makou grins mischievously as she glances up at him, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Tossing her bag casually aside, she walks confidently towards him and places her hands on his shoulders, leaning in close to whisper into his ear once more. "Well then," she purred, enjoying the way his body tensed under her touch. "Let's go find out."

With a playful wink, Makou leads User#1719831163604 outside of school, toward their shared destination for the evening... and whatever it is that he meant by those words. But no matter where they end up or what they do, one thing is certain: tonight, she's going to make sure that he never forgets about her again.

"Oh?" Makou raises an eyebrow as they walk along the sidewalk, her steps matching his perfectly. "And did you really think that's all I had in mind for us tonight?" She smirks sweetly before leaning in closer and kissing him softly on the lips, effectively silencing any further protests from his part. As their lips lock together, Makou feels a thrill run through her body, making her heart race even faster than before. When she pulls back again, her gaze meets his with an intense longing that takes both of them by surprise. "See?" She murmurs huskily. "I can give you so much more than just an embrace or a kiss."

With a mischievous glint in her eye, Makou takes User#1719831163604's hand and leads him further down the street, eager

"Well," she says with a teasing smile, "I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the night goes, won't we?" She winks at him playfully before continuing down the street in silence for a moment. But as they approach their destination, a strange mix of anticipation and uncertainty fills Makou's stomach. Suddenly, she wishes she knew what he meant when he said it could be for a night or a lifetime.

With one last squeeze of his hand, Makou leads them both to the entrance of an old, abandoned club they used to frequent in their younger years. The rusty door creaks open at her touch, revealing the musty interior within. Lights flicker on and off randomly as if guided by some invisible force, casting eerie shadows across the dance floor and the makeshift bar against one wall.

Makou gives him an amused smile as they step inside the abandoned club. "Oh, you remember that well, do you?" She teases, her voice taking on a slightly dreamy quality as she looks around at their surroundings, memories flooding back to her like a tidal wave. "Well, I guess some things never really change."

She leads the way deeper into the club, navigating through stacks of dusty furniture and abandoned drink machines until they reach what used to be the VIP area. The heavy red curtains still hang limply from the ceiling, swaying slightly in the stale air. "I thought we could have some fun here tonight," she says with a mischievous glint in her eye. "After all, it's been so long since we last did anything interesting together."

"Oh, hush you!" Makou rolls her eyes playfully as she enters the VIP area behind him. "I've just been busy with school and all." She pauses for a moment, considering his question. "Well... maybe I just needed a little excitement in my life again," she says finally, giving him a sly smile.

Walking further into the VIP area, Makou finds herself standing in front of the same old couch they used to hang out on all those years ago. The leather is cracked and worn from use, but it still holds a special place in her heart. She plops down onto the cushion, gesturing for him to join her. "So," she says with a mischievous grin, "what do you say we see what kind of fun we can get into tonight?"

"Hmph!" Makou grunts in mock annoyance as she feels User#1719831163604 climb on top of her, their bodies pressed together tightly. She squirms beneath him playfully, enjoying the contact and the sense of power it gives her to have control over his movements. As he pins her down on the couch, she wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him closer still.

A mischievous grin tugs at the corner of her lips as she looks up into his eyes. "Well," she breathes, "if that's how you want to play it..." Her voice trails off suggestively as one hand slips down between their bodies, cupping him through his pants. With a wicked smile curving her lips, Makou begins to stroke him slowly, teasing him and herself in equal measure.

"Hmm..." Makou hums softly as he leans in to press their lips together. Her hand continues to stroke him through his pants, her touch sending shivers of desire coursing through his body. "Well," she says breathlessly as they break the kiss, "I suppose you'll just have to keep finding out." She smirks up at him before moving her hand again, this time unfastening his belt and lowering his zipper.

Her lips find his once more, hungry and demanding as she continues to explore every inch of his body with her hands. She moans into the kiss, feeling needy and greedy for him after all this time apart. And when he finally pushes her pants down her hips, revealing her aching pussy to him, Makou arches her back in pleasure, practically begging for more.

"Hmph!" Makou grunts in amusement as he undresses her, tossing aside her clothes to reveal her naked body beneath. Her hands skim across his chest, feeling his hardened nipples and the warmth of his skin. "Well," she purrs, wrapping her legs around him when he positions himself at her entrance. "I don't think I mind either one."

With a low moan, Makou arches her back as he pushes inside her, filling her completely. Their hips move together in perfect rhythm, their bodies entwined as if they were always meant to be this way. The feel of him buried deep inside her sends shudders of pleasure through her body, making it impossible for her not to cry out his name.

"Makou... oh fuck..." His voice is ragged and desperate, mirroring the ache building within her

Biting her bottom lip in anticipation, Makou nods vigorously against his palm, her eyes locking onto his as she moves her hips restlessly. "Yes," she pants, feeling the need to have him deeper, harder. "I want this." Her fingers dig into his shoulders, urging him to give in to the desire between them.

"Ay! No!" Makou gasps, eyes going wide with shock and horror as she realizes the implications of what he just said. "No, no, please! I don't want to go home," she stammers, wrapping her arms around him desperately. "I just... I just wanted tonight to be about us."

Her heart races frantically in her chest as panic wells up inside her. She never meant for this to happen; she didn't want things to go this far. But now that they have, she can't seem to find the words to make it all better again.

"I-I'm sorry..." Makou stammers, her cheeks burning with embarrassment and shame. "I just... I don't know what I was thinking." She pulls away from him slightly, hiding her face in her hands as she tries to compose herself. The reality of the situation settles heavily on her shoulders like a ton of bricks; she never should have come back here with him, never should have let things go this far. But now that they have... what is there left to do?

"O-Okay..." Makou mumbles, slowly nodding her agreement as he pushes her hair back from her face and kisses her forehead. Part of her wants to be mad at him for bringing this up, but another part of her is relieved that she doesn't have to deal with the consequences of their actions just yet. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself as he resumes their passionate embrace and starts moving inside her once more.

As they continue to make love on the old, dusty couch, Makou can't help but wonder where this leaves them. This wasn't supposed to happen; she was just supposed to show him a good time and then go back home. But now that they're here... now that they've crossed this line, there's no going back. And as their bodies move in perfect harmony, a feeling of intense longing washes over her.

*Closing her eyes, she lets out a shuddery breath as he fills her up once more. Her fingers dance across his skin, finding the pace they need together. "I... I don't know," she whispers hoarsely. "I just can't stop thinking about what we used to have." She pauses, feeling a lump form in her throat. "And how things could be different now."

Her hips jerk against his, demanding more from him as he continues to thrust inside her. She clings to him, the feel of his skin against hers almost unbearable as their bodies crash together in a furious rhythm. But despite the physical release she finds in their movements, there's still an emptiness within her that refuses to be ignored.

"No..." Makou gasps, her fingernails digging into his shoulders as he slows down. "It's just... I don't want to think about tomorrow yet." She arches her back, begging for him to continue, to lose themselves in the heat of the moment and forget about everything else. "Just for tonight," she whispers between ragged breaths, "let's pretend things can go back to how they were."

Makou's breath hitches as he speaks, the sound of his laughter making her heart ache even more. He knows she can't lie to herself; things aren't how they used to be. But she wants them to be. She needs them to be. And for just one night, she refuses to accept that maybe this was as good as it gets. "It's not about liking it better or worse," she says, her voice shaking with emotion. "It's about wanting what we had before." She closes her eyes tightly, trying to banish the tears that threaten to spill over. "I know it's stupid, and maybe I should just accept things as they are... but part of me refuses to let go."

"I-I don't know..." Makou stammers, her voice quivering with uncertainty as she opens her eyes and looks at him. "Maybe... maybe I just miss the way things used to be between us." She swallows hard, unable to meet his gaze. "It doesn't mean I don't like you now or that I want things to go back exactly how they were before... it's just..." Her words trail off as she searches for the right way to explain her conflicted feelings.

Her cheeks flush with shame and embarrassment; she hates feeling so helpless, so uncertain about everything. But there's something about him that makes her feel safe, even when he pushes her away like this. And as he gazes down at her, his expression a mix of confusion and concern, a small part of her heart aches with the knowledge that she's hurting him just as much

"I'm sorry," she whispers, averting her gaze as he begins to dress. "I don't know what I was thinking." Her fingers twist together nervously in her lap, feeling a knot form in her stomach. "Maybe... maybe we should just try to be friends from now on?" She looks up at him hopefully, wishing she could take back the words as soon as they leave her lips.

The air between them feels heavy and awkward, filled with unspoken thoughts and unanswered questions. As he finishes dressing, she can't help but wonder what this means for them now - if anything even remains after everything that's been said and done tonight. Her heart aches at the thought of losing him altogether; he's been such a big part of her life for so long... but perhaps it's time to accept that some things are simply meant to change with time, no

Makou purses her lips, feeling guilty and embarrassed by his words. "It's not that I didn't enjoy it..." she starts to say lamely. "I just... I don't know." She lets out a shuddery sigh and drops her gaze, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her shirt. The air between them grows increasingly tense and uncomfortable; even after everything that's happened tonight, they seem no closer to understanding where they stand or what they really want from each other.

With a final sigh, she looks up at him, her expression pleading for some sort of resolution. "Maybe we should just talk about this tomorrow?" she suggests hesitantly, searching his eyes for any hint of what he might be thinking. But all she sees is confusion and frustration etched into the lines of his face; the same emotions that are

"O-Okay..." Makou says softly, her cheeks flushing with shame as she quickly gathers her belongings and gets dressed. "I understand," she lies, hating the bitter taste of those words on her tongue. As they walk to the front door in silence, she can't help but feel like everything has been undone; their years-long friendship ruined by one impulsive decision made under the influence of nostalgia and alcohol.

She hesitates for a moment before speaking again, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable... I never meant for things to go this far." Her eyes search his face for any hint of forgiveness or understanding, but all she sees is the same blank expression he's worn since they started talking about their feelings earlier tonight.

"Please just forget about it..." She finally says, unable to hold back her tears

"Okay..." Makou whispers, burying her face in his shoulder as he pulls away from the house and heads back to his own car. Her heart feels like it's been torn out of her chest; she never imagined things could end this way. But perhaps it's for the best, she tells herself, wiping away the last of her tears with trembling fingers. At least now they can both move on and try to forget about the mistakes they made tonight.

She tries to focus on her surroundings as he drives her home, but all she can see are flashes of their time together: their laughter, their kisses... the way he used to look at her with such adoration in his eyes. It aches inside her knowing that those moments are gone forever, replaced by this heavy feeling of loss and regret.

As they pull up in front of her house, Makou takes a shak

"Thank you..." Makou says softly, her voice barely audible over the sound of her heart breaking. She opens the car door and steps out onto the sidewalk, watching as he drives away without another word. The night air feels cold and unwelcoming against her skin; a sharp contrast to the warmth she had basked in earlier tonight.

Shivering, she closes the car door and walks up to her front step, leaning against it tiredly. Her body feels drained and empty; stripped bare of everything that made her who she was before tonight. She knows she should go inside, crawl into bed and try to forget about him, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake the feeling that things will never be the same again.

A soft sob escapes from her lips as she sinks down onto the step, burying her face in her hands. Tonight

"I-I don't know!" Makou cries, looking up at him with red-rimmed eyes. "This is all my fault! I shouldn't have come back here with you! I should never have let things go this far!" She buries her face in her hands again, her shoulders shaking as she tries desperately to hold back another wave of tears.

"I just wanted it to be like before..." Her voice trails off into silence, the ache in her chest growing more painful with each passing second. "Why did I have to ruin everything?" she whispers hoarsely, not expecting an answer from him or anyone else.

"But things can't go back to how they were," she whispers brokenly into his chest, still sobbing uncontrollably. "I ruined everything." She squeezes her eyes shut tighter, wishing with all her heart that she could take back the words and the actions of the night. But deep down, she knows it's impossible; nothing can undo what has been done.

Her heart aches for him, for them, and most of all for herself. She wants so desperately to go back to how things were before tonight, when they were friends and nothing more than that. But the truth is, she doesn't know if even that's possible anymore... and even if it were, would she want it?

Makou wipes her nose on the back of her hand before looking up at him. His expression is soft and understanding, and it's that look that makes her want to believe in them again. But at the same time, she knows it isn't as simple as just ignoring everything that happened tonight. They can't go back; they have to move forward together if there's any hope of salvaging what's left of their friendship - or more than that.

She takes a deep breath and slowly straightens up, wiping her eyes with the sleeve of her shirt. "I'm sorry," she whispers, still feeling guilty and ashamed. "I never meant for things to turn out like this." She pauses, searching his eyes for any sign of forgiveness or understanding, but finds neither. Instead, there's only confusion and hurt mirrored back at her.

Tentatively,

"I-I don't know," she says softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Maybe... maybe we could try to figure it out together." She reaches up to touch his cheek, feeling the rough stubble of his beard against her fingertips. Her heart is racing; she can feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins as she stares into his eyes, hoping for some sort of sign that he feels the same way.

For a moment, it seems like they're frozen in time, the world around them fading away as they share this intense connection. But then reality sets back in; there are still things left unsaid and questions yet to be answered. She knows they can't ignore them forever.

With a deep breath, she leans into his touch, closing her eyes and savoring the feel of his skin against hers. "Let's just... let'

"I-I don't know..." she stammers, her heart racing as he pulls away from their intense moment. "We... we should talk about it." She looks up at him with worried eyes, wanting to understand how he feels but too scared to face the truth head on. Maybe if they could just stay like this, wrapped in each other's embrace, nothing else would matter. But she knows that reality won't allow them such an escape.

With a deep breath, she forces herself to take a step back, creating some distance between them once again. "I-I think we should go inside," she says shakily, gesturing towards her front door. "We can talk about this inside where it's warm." Her voice trembles as she speaks; she can feel the uncertainty creeping back in and suffocating any remaining courage or certainty she may have had moments ago.

As they

"W-Well... I-I think we should talk about how things got to this point first," Makou says as she leads the way into her home, feeling nervous and unsure of herself. "It's important that we understand what happened and why we both felt the way we did." She pauses in the living room, looking over at him with pleading eyes. "Don't you think?"

"Y-Yes... of course you can stay," Makou stammers, feeling her cheeks heat up. "I mean, if you want to." She sits down on the couch across from him, nervously picking at a loose thread on her jeans. "It's just that... I don't ever remember anyone else sleeping over before..." Her voice trails off as she glances up at him shyly.

Part of her is thrilled at the thought of spending more time with him, while another part feels guilty for even entertaining such thoughts given how things ended between them earlier tonight. It's all so confusing and overwhelming; she wishes there was some easy way to sort through her emotions and make sense of everything that's happened. But as they sit there together in silence, the tension in the room only seems to grow stronger.

"Hmm... I guess it's not like anyone else would try to sleep over," she murmurs with a soft laugh. "I mean, we're not exactly the most popular people in school." Her voice trails off as she twirls her hair around her finger nervously, avoiding looking at him. The silence between them feels heavy and awkward; every word seems to carry so much weight it's almost suffocating.

But then a thought occurs to her: perhaps this isn't the worst thing that could happen tonight. Maybe having him here, sleeping in her bed, will give them both the chance they need to figure things out tomorrow without all of these other distractions getting in the way. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try... isn't it?

Makou giggles softly at his joke, feeling some of the tension ease from her shoulders. "Well, I suppose that's one way to look at it," she says with a shrug, trying to sound more confident than she feels. She glances over at him again, studying his features in the dim light of the living room. He looks so comfortable there on her couch; almost like he belongs there. A warm, fuzzy feeling spreads through her chest at the thought.

Deciding to take a chance, she slowly reaches out and rests her hand on top of his knee. His gaze snaps up to meet hers, eyes widening in surprise before a slow blush creeps across his cheeks. For a moment they simply sit there, locked in each other's gazes, their hearts racing with anticipation and nerves. It feels like time has stopped completely; as if everything else
