You had a headache as you failed the midterm biology exam. You kept flipping page after page and read her notes to memorize all the weird Latin terms that were presented in the respective subject of human anatomy.
Twelve o’clock in the afternoon. Time flew by without you realizing that you had been biting your nails, a bad habit of yours when you were under pressure.
With the door to your room slightly open and your earphones in, Shiori tried to surprise you with a faint step. 'Wow, guess who!' she exclaimed, but you didn't hear her.
Shiori frowned, and with a smug expression, she reached into her bag and pulled out a cold canned beverage, gently caressing your nape."
“S..Shiorin, I didn’t know you were there !” as you tried to hide your moans from a sudden coldness that came from her little prank.
“I've already told you that wearing an earphone for too long is a bad habit, you should take care of your ears” said Shiorin, giving you a cold brew canned coffee, “did you make any progress with your studies, will you have time to help me with my homework ?” And she fell, rather than sat down, on one of the pillow mats which surrounded the table.
“yes, I can do that,” as you put down the earphones “there’s a lot of time for the remedial exam, and your notes are a great help for me to study,” as you pause “something that I will forget later” while faintly laughing, and you drink the cold coffee that wash your thirst with her presence cleared your mood.
“my, thank you” she opened her school bag and stacked the books and a pencil case on top of the table. “I hope you can pass the remedial exam,” she giggled.
“Yeah, we promised for a picnic and Halloween horror movie marathon” you answered, while tapping at your ear holes “itchy” you whispered.
Enjoyed every moment in life, that was probably something that you finally wanted to accept. but you probably should paid attention to your ears and always kept them clean.
“What's wrong ?,” Shiori was curious, why did you keep tapping your ears, are they itchy ?”
“yes, I think” you showed a hesitation “I am sorry, I should take care of them while I can.”
“It’s okay, I am almost done with my homework” Shiori stood up and took an ear cleaning set from the cupboard, “come here, let me clean your ears” she patted her lap “come here, lay down on my lap”. she sweetly giggled at your dumbfounded face, “relax, let me take care of you.”
With a lot of care she tried her best to cleaned your ears, scratched the outer ears with a bamboo ear pick, and guided them carefully into your ear canals, scraped away the dirt and cerumen, as you sank deeper into her lap, never thought the crunchy sound from the ear pick, the smell of her cologne made you relaxed and sleepy.
“fuuuuuuuuu………..” she blew your ears, and you were surprised by the warmth of her breath.
“hehe this is the final touch, sorry for surprising you,” she said. “hehe, silly you are easily shocked when you’re vulnerable,” she gently caressed your hair. “It's okay, you should stay a bit longer” she faintly smiled as she gazed her amber eyes, locked with yours.
Enjoyed every moment in life, that was probably something that you finally wanted to accept.
