“Rem?”
“Yes, Subaru-kun?”
“Rem.”
“Yes, it’s Subaru-kun’s Rem.”
“My, Rem?”
“Yes."
“I see. I must thank the heavens for today’s blessings as well. Thank you, goddess Rem-sama.”
"Rem covered her mouth and giggled. Then she asked, “What’s going on, Subaru-kun?”
We sat in a well-furnished living room within my Sweet Home. I had found Rem reading a book and sitting on the couch out here, still in her light blue nightgown this morning. She sat on a pristine white leather couch, and I couldn’t help but think it accentuated her purity. Like the rest of the sweet home, everything was in that infuriatingly sterile pure white that modernists loved. Though, in this case, the couch she sat on actually suited her perfectly.
Since I had seen a great opportunity, I had laid down on the couch, splaying my head across her lap with my feet dangling over the far armrest. She gently stroked my scalp, playing with my hair. I liked the feeling of her fingernails rubbing across my head, the book placed on the nightstand off to the side as she focused entirely on me.
“Nothing’s really going on. I’m just recharging on my daily dose of Remonium.”
“I see,” she said with a puzzled expression that meant she didn’t see at all.
“Did you know your sister propositioned me this morning?”
“I thought you two already slept together last night?” She asked with forced innocence, refusing to look into my gaze.
“Rem-sama, why do I get the feeling you are angry?”
“I’m not angry,” she said with an air of jealousy.
“You definitely sound angry.”
She rolled her eyes at my antics, “So, what happened? You two didn’t... make babies?” She asked the last part in a whisper.
“We didn’t, we just slept normally. But, Rem! Don’t say it in that way! It makes you sound like an innocent maiden that I have to defile!”
She paused for a moment, then, “It’s okay if it’s Subaru.”
I quickly leaned forward, popping my head out of her lap and forcing her to suddenly lean back lest our heads collide.

I gulped.
“W-why is Subaru-kun looking at me with such fierce eyes?” She backed away, leaning deeper into the couch.
Reaching out, I gently stroked Rem’s cheek with one hand. I brought our faces close together, Rem naturally parting her lips slightly as if in anticipation. Suddenly, I felt my heart thudding in my chest, but the sound quickly got lost in the moment as I stared at her pale pink lips. I pushed forward, turning my head slightly to avoid her nose, until our lips met. I kissed her gently, only slightly more than a peck. My lips touched against hers, both of my lips brushing her upper lip.
At first, she almost pulled away in surprise, but her head had nowhere to go. I almost stopped in response to her reaction, but then she actually pushed forward herself— ever so gently, but just enough to willfully return the kiss. I could tell she was an amateur, she wasn’t quite sure what to do with her lips, and she opened her mouth too wide a few times, but I easily corrected her. My lips pursued hers with frantic hunger, constantly pushing to sandwich her top lip between mine.
All of a sudden, Rem gently bit my lower lip with purpose. After that, I separated from her, making her frown in worry, as if she’d done something wrong. She opened her mouth to speak, but I was already moving.
I jumped off the couch. Then, in a fluid motion, I put one hand behind Rem’s upper back, and another underneath her legs.
“Su-Subaru-k-kun?” She stared at me with wide eyes.
Then, as quickly as possible, I lifted her up into a princess carry. She clutched her arms around my neck to hold on while letting out a small, ‘Eep!’
With a single-minded determinedness, I launched the two of us up the stairs and then down the white hallway. The second we reached the first bedroom – one of the standard empty ones so as not to disturb Ram – I forcefully kicked the door open, the wood near the handle splintering and flying off.
As I walked into the room, I slammed the door behind me with my foot, the wood already restored to proper form per the magic of a Sweet Home. The door jostled, but properly latched shut with a click.
Making sure I wouldn’t accidentally bonk her head, I threw Rem through the air. She landed with a small bounce on the regular queen-sized mattress— the pure white blankets wrinkling underneath where her butt and hands landed on the mattress.
I almost jumped on her right away, but there was something I had to do first. With deliberate intention, I turned the lock shut on the door. No more Beako-children to interrupt us this time. I had been blue balled enough by this point.
“S-Subaru-kun?”
“Yes, it’s Rem’s Subaru-kun.”
“It’s morning already, you know? Not the time for sleeping?” She smiled awkwardly.
“Rem.”
“Yes?”
“We aren’t sleeping.”
“O-okay. I haven’t had time to prepare my heart...” She shook her head, determination filling her expression. “But, no. I said it earlier, didn’t I? If it’s Subaru-kun, I’m okay with it.”
I walked closer to the bed, before climbing on. Both of my knees depressed into the mattress right below Rem’s small form. She was already breathing heavily, I watched her night gown moving up and down, her chest pushing up against the fabric.
“Is it just that you’re okay with it, or that you want to do it with me?”
“Men aren’t supposed to ask a lady if they ‘want to do it’, you know?”
“It’s important, don’t deflect. I won’t do anything to you if you don’t want it.”
She took a few moments to sit up and move into a seiza position on the bed. Then, she met my eyes, “Well, if have to answer, since Subaru is being so earnest,” Her face blushed scarlet and she turned away for her next words, “I want to do it, too.”
“Rem!”
“Yes, it’s Subaru-kun’s Rem.” She smiled at me.

She hugged me tightly as I relaxed into her embrace— her soft body pillowing me. With gentle strokes, she tickled my back in varying patterns, drawing out the pleasure of our cuddling.
We just lay there in bed for a while, neither of us daring to get up.
