Chapter 50: Morning After

Mitsuba groggily opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Kou's sleeping form beside him. He let out a soft sigh, his body still sore from their late-night escapades. He slowly got out of bed, his joints creaking in protest. "Mmm, we fucked all last night," Mitsuba whined, his voice husky from sleep. "No sex for the entire month, at least!" He rubbed his temples, trying to ward off the impending headache. Kou stirred, his eyes fluttering open as he gazed up at Mitsuba. "What's wrong, Princess?" he whispered, his voice rough from sleep. Mitsuba shot him a pleading look. "I'm serious, Kou. I'm exhausted. We need to take a break." He pulled away from Kou and put on a robe, tying the belt tightly around his waist. Kou sat up, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he chuckled. "You're not exactly known for your self-control, Mitsuba," he teased, his voice low and husky. Mitsuba's face went redder as he glared at Kou. "Better stop before we wake up your siblings," he said, trying to deflect Kou's attention. He gestured to the door, his eyes wide with warning. "We can't have them walking in on us like this." Kou's chuckle died down, and he swung his legs over the side of the bed. "You're right, Princess," he said, his voice softer now. "We should be more careful." Mitsuba let out a sigh of relief as Kou stood up, his movements slow and deliberate. Kou's eyes never left Mitsuba's face, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension. Finally, Kou broke the silence. "I'll go shower first," he said, his voice low and husky. "You can join me when you're ready." Mitsuba shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "I'll join you for breakfast, not the shower," he said, his voice firm. Kou's eyes crinkled at the corners as he chuckled, a low, husky sound that sent shivers down Mitsuba's spine. "Suit yourself, Princess," he said, turning to head for the bathroom. Mitsuba watched him go, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. He couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement, of anticipation, at the prospect of spending the day with Kou. Despite his protests, he knew he wasn't ready to take a break from Kou just yet.
