"I missed you so much, Yuu-kun!" Aya was the first to hug him tightly, almost suffocating him with affection. As her arms roamed over Yuu's back, Yuu could feel her breasts pressing against his chest.
Worryingly, she said, "Are you okay? We were so scared when we heard you suddenly fainted." Tears threatened to fall from her eyes... and soon did.
Megu hugged his neck, shamelessly kissed his cheek, and murmured, "I was so scared. The thought of something happening to you..." Yuu could see her eyes welling up with the open emotional tone in her words.
The sudden flood of affection from the two of them cleared Yuu's mind. Everything vanished for a moment. He reciprocated the hug, wrapping his arms around both their waists. He smiled, holding them close, "I'm sorry. It wasn't a big deal. I'm serious."
As he held them close, they both rested their heads on his shoulder. As their tears dampened his clothes, Yuu felt his heart swell. His eyes were watering. How much he had missed them! How long had it been since he had hugged them like this? Years?
He inhaled their scent with longing, distinguishing their perfumes. The soft scent, carrying an attractive maturity mixed with a unique pheromone, belonged to Aya. The heavy perfume scent came from Megu. It was a bit overwhelming, but he didn't even think to complain about it right now.
He gently stroked their hair, allowing them to cry.
"Don't worry... I'm fine..." he said, unsure of what else to say. He looked at his family for help, but all he saw were understanding faces. He could see Koharu and Kyouka smiling sincerely. Yuka, on the other hand... was pouting? She had a slight smile, but he sensed clear jealousy for a moment.
It took a while for Aya and Megu to let go. Although their crying subsided, they were reluctant to release him. As the trio sat on the bed, Yuu began to sense jealousy from Koharu as well.
Cold sweat trickled down his back, and the worst part was Velora cackling above him, as if watching a comedy film.
Yuu cleared his throat and invited them to talk. Small talk quickly started. After checking in and chatting about what they had been doing, a completely unexpected piece of information arrived.
"What? You're staying here?"
Megu nodded, laughing. Her eyes sparkled with the excitement of the mischief they could get into and the wonderful time she could spend with the cousin she considered a brother.
"Yes! Since you couldn't come to us because you're studying here, we finally decided to come to you!"
Even the relatively more mature Aya held Yuu's hand.
"Don't worry, Yuu-kun. We found a house nearby, on the same street as you. We can spend a lot of time together now!"
Upon this, Yuka clicked her tongue in displeasure. Koharu glanced at Yuka, whispered to her to stand down, and then stepped forward. Her expression was gentle and understanding.
"Mm... Aya-san and Megu-san. I understand your concern for Yuu-kun, but standing this close is a bit..."
Yuu could see Yuka vigorously shaking her head, restraining herself from saying the wrong word. While Koharu's attempt to handle the situation gently eased his heart, Aya and Megu's apparent feigning of not understanding the problem tensed Yuu up even more.
With flushed cheeks, they grabbed Yuu's arms and pressed their bodies against them.
"What's the problem?" Aya asked. Her face was practically burning with heat. Megu was much more shameless. She rubbed against Yuu's arm and stuck her tongue out at the others. "We missed Yuu-kun so much. Is it wrong to spend some time with him?"
Koharu was a mix of embarrassment, anger, and jealousy at the shamelessness she witnessed, her mouth forming an "O" shape. Yuu could notice Yuka's hand was clenched into a fist as she struggled not to attack.
Even Kyouka frowned. The air grew tense, and Yuu didn't know what to do. The situation was extremely inappropriate. Just then, Marika knocked and entered the room, and Yuu managed to free his arms from the two of them.
Marika chuckled at the sight. She walked closer. "My, such a crowd~?" she said. She observed Yuu for a moment and nodded.
"The doctor said the test results were fine, but he needs to stay for one more day," she said softly. Then she looked at the crowd around Yuu and frowned.
"Please, let's not overcrowd the room. I believe the patient is old enough to spend a day on his own."
As everyone's attention turned to her, Marika placed a hand on her hip. With slightly narrowed but serious eyes, she specifically focused on the Tachibana family.
"Although we have allowed one day due to the patient's uncertain condition... we cannot sustain this, unfortunately," she said, then took a breath.
"If you are concerned, one guardian can stay. Any more than that creates unnecessary crowding in the hospital."
Yuu saw the tension in the air almost dissipate with her words. But he couldn't sigh in relief. Because Marika's eyes were on him like a predator, and he could have sworn he saw her lick her lips!
"Come on, Marika clearly wants to eat you," Velora teased him, perching on his shoulder again. Yuu rubbed his forehead. He didn't even question why she hadn't brought a doctor's note. He already had a headache.
Just then, he heard his cousins' voices:
"It looks like Yuu-kun is staying with us," Megu said with a definitive tone, smirking. As she grabbed Yuu's arm again, this time she rubbed her breasts against him much slower. Yuu had to hold back a loud gulp, and his cheeks turned rosy.
Aya spoke with a gentler smile, "Thank you for taking care of Yuu-kun, but we'll take care of him from now on. If it's alright, of course."
Since they had just arrived and were blood relatives, they were the most logical choice. But Yuka objected. She spoke with a smile, but her tone was not friendly at all, "Didn't you just arrive? You must have preparations to take care of at your house. I'll stay."
Koharu sighed lightly. It was clear that all three of them needed to change clothes and take care of some basic needs, so they had to leave anyway. Although a part of her didn't want to leave Yuu with such shameless cousins...
"There's nothing we can do, Yuka," she said, then looked at Aya and Megu and added:
"Yuu-kun is entrusted to you then."
When Kyouka also approved, Yuka let out an angry breath. Although she wanted to object, she knew deep down that what they could do was very limited since they were not blood relatives.
"Ugh. But we're the ones who took care of him the most. He is our..." she began to say, but under the warning gazes of Koharu and Kyouka, she didn't finish her sentence. She turned her head away.
Aya frowned with interest at Koharu's words, while Megu's gaze was mostly on Yuu. Finally, they might have some alone time with him. However, she hadn't expected Yuu's words to cut through her dreams like a knife.
"I'm going to stay for just one day and leave. I don't want anyone to stay with me," he said in a clear tone. He loved Aya and Megu very much, but he could see they had become much naughtier during the time they hadn't seen each other.
He certainly wouldn't be comfortable having sex with them in a hospital.
Aya and Megu showed reluctant expressions, but Yuu's stance was clear. Upon this, Aya sent him an address on his phone.
"Then you're coming to our house as soon as you're better. Promise?" she asked with a persistent expression. Moreover, Megu pressed closer to him as if to insist on this point and whispered into his ear.
"When you come to our house... maybe I can allow some naughty things. As a hospital discharge celebration. What do you say? Wouldn't you like Megu-nee to take care of you?"
Yuu swallowed loudly and got out of bed. As the monster between his legs struggled to stay dormant, he hastily accepted, "Fine. I'll come."
He hadn't expected his cousins to be so eager, and it was exhausting.
