A Random in Re:Zero

Loop 682 - Part 44

When I kissed Rem, I felt an indescribable euphoria. To have someone's unconditional love is a precious and rare gift, one I never thought I'd receive in this world.

I found it hard to believe that she had accepted me after everything I confessed.

In the past, I had a great fear of rejection: I would become overly anxious and paranoid around a girl, fearing she would reject my personality. I wasn't desperate for a partner or approval, but I hated the idea of my ego being hurt.

Because of that fear, I held back whenever I was with someone I liked. I always assumed that the girls in my world wouldn't like the real me.

Ah, I wouldn't blame them if that were the case. I knew perfectly well that I didn't fit the mold of what a woman expected from a man... But that didn't matter anymore. Now I had everything I could ever want, and it was right there in my arms.

"Hmm..."

As expected of first-timers, Rem and I shared an awkward, yet very passionate, kiss. Our hands clung to each other's bodies, unsure where or when to stop.

This wasn't just a simple kiss: we were both giving in to the longing to feel each other against our skin. A lot of stress was being released with this gesture...

After so much suffering, this was all I wanted. I had waited my whole life for a moment like this, and it came when I needed it most.

"Haa..."

We had to separate to breathe. Rem sighed listlessly, as if she never wanted to let go of me. In fact, she was still hanging onto my neck.

"I love you so much." She whispered.

With my heart racing, I grabbed Rem by the waist and sat her down on the table to make her more comfortable, since she had spent all this time standing on her tiptoes.

She wrapped her legs around my waist, pulling me as close as possible. I could tell her desire was just as intense as mine, which excited me even more.

I lowered my head to her neck, planting kisses on her exposed skin. Rem moaned softly and turned her head away to give me better access. With her unspoken permission, I became more intense, filling her neck with red marks.

"It tickles a little." She murmured, smiling.

Little by little, we leaned further and further over the table until Rem was lying on her back, with me on top of her. Her body felt light and fragile in my arms. Part of me wanted to treat her gently, but lust won out.

I moved my hands to her cleavage and gently squeezed her breasts. She gasped and blushed even more, surprised by the sudden turn of events.

Her uniform was in my way, so I started to take it off, but she stopped me.

"Wait, someone might see us if we stay here..."

That snapped me out of my trance. I realized I hadn't been very careful about this.

"True."

I prepared to take her to a room to continue our cuddles in a private place, however...

"Leandro, what's taking you so long?" Otto entered the house, sighing in annoyance.

I should have thought of that before. This is the second time we've been caught because of my stupidity.

"Ah!" Rem hid beneath me.

I looked at Otto, who froze as if he'd seen Medusa herself. I don't know what kind of expression I made, but it must have been quite terrifying, because he quickly thawed and ran away.
