She reached her hand with the roll of bandage to his front from his back. Her generous mounds were lightly touching his back. He felt the heat in his face rise. She gently wrapped his ribcage by circling around his body with bandage wrap, making certain not to wrap it too tight. He thought he was the only one feeling nervous about this, but he was surely mistaken. On his backside Sakurai’s face was beat red. This is the first time she had ever touched a man’s body. Both their hearts were beating so loudly Shimada thought you she could hear it across the room. Ren stared at the couple in front of her with a disgusted look on her face.

“Could you two stop flirting and finish up please.” Ren scolded.

They both jumped a little.

“W-were not flirting.”

“I-I think I can get the rest. Hashimoto shyly replied.

“N-no I can finish. I-it isn’t too tight, is it?” Mio stuttered her face was as red an apple at this point.

“It’s fine, thanks” Eizan almost entirely focused on calming his mind.

Sakurai stared at the length of wrapping in her hand. She thought to herself "I don’t have enough to go around again I’ll have to tuck it in on the front. Oh god I don’t want him to turn around right now. Calm down, calm down." She was trying to calm her breathing.

“Sakurai?” She had stopped moving.

“I-I need to move around to the front to finish.”

“O-ok do what you need to do.”

She ducked moved around him still holding the bandage in her hand. She was staring at his chest. She moved her hand up to tuck the wrapping into itself just above the pectoral muscle. Eizan looked down at the her with a gentle smile. A sweet smell wafted into his nose. "She smells so good." Her trembling hand touched his chest to tuck the bandage into itself. Eizan felt as if electricity coursed through his entire body. Sakurai finished placing the bandage and looked up. His piercing hazel eyes stared directly into hers with a gentle gaze. Her hand was still lightly placed on his chest where she had finished placing the bandage.

Eizan softly said “All done?”

Mio quickly pulled back her hand “Y-yes” and backed away.

Eizan was scratching his cheek. “Thank you, I really appreciate it.”

She scurried over to Ren and sat down beside her.

“Are we done here now I’m starving?”

Sakurai looked over at her clearly miffed friend.

“Uhm… Do you need any help with anything else?”

Eizan thought for a second. His normally calm demeanor had returned. He placed his hand on his chin.

“I don’t really need help with anything else.” He paused. “But I would like to repay the favor. Would you two like for me two make you dinner? I wouldn’t say I’m the best cook but I’m fairly good at it.”

Shimada surprised look made Hashimoto laugh a little on the inside.

“That would be great. The curry you made last time was amazing.”

“Shimada?”

“Eh. I guess.”

Hashimoto walked into the kitchen and proceeded to make dinner for the two beautiful girls in his room. He had a big smile on his face the whole time he was cooking. He was thinking to himself "Who would have thought a year ago, when I moved here, that I would have the two best looking girls in school at my house." Eizan secretly enjoyed cooking for others. He would never admit it, but the sight of people enjoying the food he cooked had a special place in his heart. He could hear the muffled sounds of two girls talking and giggling from the other room. "They really are good friends, huh."

About thirty minutes later Hashimoto entered the room and served dinner. The eyes of the two girls lit up at the sight. He had prepared fried dumpling and an exquisite looking bowl of ramen that would be the envy of any ramen shop. Sakurai was salivating at the site. Shimada look at the food inquisitively. A Creamy chicken broth formed the base of this incredibly complex bowl of ramen. The broth is spiked with miso and dried fish powder. Topped with a marinated soft-boiled egg, finely diced white onion, scallions, lime, and a sliced braised pork belly.

“Hope you enjoy.” Hashimoto’s seemed to be worried.

The beauties clasped their hands and gave thanks. The looks of surprise and smiles, as they slurped the noodles and shoveled the food into their mouths, brought a look of relief to his face.

“Mmm… it’s so good.” Sakurai said with her mouth still half full of food.

Shimada gave a nod. Hashimoto could tell she was enjoying it too. The three sat and ate dinner while talking about the assignments the teacher had told them to bring over to his house. After dinner the two ladies thanked him and prepared to leave. They were standing ate the door putting their shoes on when Eizan spoke.

“Could you two do me a favor? It’s actually pretty simple. Please don’t tell anyone you came over to my apartment. It might cause unnecessary rumors.” Mio and Ren both looked at each then back at him.

“Sure, if that’s what you want.” both of that’s girls replied.

“Thanks, see you later.”

“Later.” Both of the girls gave a small wave as they left. Shimada gave a nod of understanding.

Eizan collapsed on his bed, collapsing from exhaustion. "I guess I overdid it, the stress of interacting with those two drained me completely." His eyes lids began to drop and he drifted off to sleep.
