"Beneath the Blossoming Stars"
Part 3
As we broke apart, gasping for air, Hange's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze still burning with adoration. I felt my cheeks flush, and he smiled, his lips curling upward in a gentle curve. We sat there for a moment, wrapped in each other's arms, the world around us slowly coming back into focus. The room was quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioning and the distant chirping of crickets outside. I felt a sense of peace wash over me, as if I had finally found a place where I belonged. Hange's arms tightened around me, pulling me closer, and I felt myself melting into his warmth. "I should get you home," he whispered, his voice husky with emotion. "But I don't want to let you go." I smiled, my heart still racing with excitement. "I don't want you to let me go either," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. Hange's eyes sparkled with amusement, and he leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear. "Then don't go," he whispered, his breath sending shivers down my spine. I laughed, feeling a sense of freedom wash over me. "I have to," I said, my voice firm. "I have school tomorrow." Hange's face fell, but he nodded, his arms reluctantly releasing me. I stood up, smoothing out my dress, and Hange's eyes followed me, his gaze lingering on my curves. As we walked out of the meeting room, I felt a sense of excitement building inside me. I knew that I had just made a promise to Hange, a promise to be his boyfriend, and I couldn't wait to see what the future held for us. The night air was cool and crisp, filled with the scent of blooming flowers. We walked to Hange's car, the silence between us comfortable and easy. As we drove through the city, the stars twinkling above us like diamonds, I felt a sense of wonder wash over me. We pulled up to my apartment, and Hange turned off the engine. He turned to me, his eyes locking onto mine, and I felt my heart skip a beat. "I'll walk you up," he said, his voice low and husky. I nodded, feeling a sense of excitement building inside me. As we walked to the elevator, Hange's arm wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me close. I felt a sense of belonging, as if I was exactly where I was meant to be. As the elevator doors opened, Hange's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with intensity. "I'll call you tomorrow," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. I nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation building inside me. As I stepped into my apartment, Hange's hand reached out, his fingers brushing against mine. "Goodnight, my little lotus flower," he whispered, his voice husky with emotion. I smiled, feeling my heart overflow with joy. "Goodnight, Hange," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. As the door closed behind me, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that I had found my home, my safe haven, in Hange's arms. And I couldn't wait to see what the future held for us.
