Settling In [nsfw]

"They tell good stories and are about people who are relateable and are fun and relaxing?" Miyako asked, knowing Hibiki was trying to squirm his way out of admitting it. He liked them! Else he wouldn't have a box full of them. Hibiki wasn't one to keep useless or disliked items around for long...

His words caused her giggles to slow and she nodded before realizing he couldn't see her.

"Hehe, I promise. No one else ever gets to know!" She could definitely keep his secret and laid down on him, her chin on his shoulder as she nuzzled his head. "So which ones are your favorites? I honestly really like trashy romance, those are fun for a quick amusement. But the more serious and calmer ones, mature like Aoyama-sama's are really really good too. What about them makes you want to read them?"

If she asked normal, everyday questions, maybe he'd accept that it was fine to like them? Even if...she was stunned... Though she really shouldn't be. Hibiki was far more sensitive than he ever tried to let on.

"A...Ah..." W-What was he supposed to say? W... It wasn't just that easy to answer...things like this... Especially considering the recent shock of her finding this out! E-Even if he was calming down...and they'd...agreed to keep it between them...

W-Which... Favorites!?

"D...Dunno..." He answered as Miyako situated herself to lie down on him, feeling her chin settle on his shoulder.

W-What about them made him want to read...

"D...M...Mn..."

H...How was he supposed to answer these questions!? W... He had no idea what to even say! W...What...

"Hm..." This wasn't fun at all! Hibiki wasn't telling her anything... He didn't know! Miyako nuzzled his head a bit more and then sighed. Of course he might not even understand it himself, Hibiki had too many layers between him and his own thoughts and emotions.

Maybe later when he felt more up to it she could ask him questions like this! For now though, unpacking was important. Besides, there was a good thing about her knowing on his end too...

"Well, we can definitely unpack them. No one would ever think they are yours, so you can use me as an excuse that way you can read your own books without hiding them. Hehe, I have some myself if you want to try those too." She had more than a few, but she also had tons of reference and art books as well. They'd just think all the books were hers and Hibiki's secret would be safe.

Kissing the side of his head for good measure, Miyako moved to get off of him and head for her school bag and the stairs. "Since you are helping I won't put headphones in! Let me go get my speakers and laptop..."

"A...Ah..." Miyako had been working through her thoughts he guessed after he'd given her his...not-really answers. Unpack them? He was quiet as she explained.

No one would ever think they were his...

W...Well... That was one solution... Just say they were Miyako's. He could just...camouflage them with her own books, and no one would ever know, no one would ever assume.... F-Fine...he could agree to tha-

T-Try hers!?

O-Other books...

Before he attempted an answer, she moved off of him after placing a kiss at the side of his head, and he moved to push himself off the floor once she was standing.

"A-Ah..." Speakers and laptop, right... He gave a nod to that, his eyes moving towards the boxes that still remained as she did so.

It was time to get to unpacking then...

"Oooh... If you want we can cuddle up and read tonight then! In the bed. I can make a lantern and we can hide out in it with our books!" Miyako offered with a bit of sparkle and excitement, the happy bounce in her step reappearing as she moved to grab the laptop from the bag followed by her portable speakers. Hibiki was getting up too and she shot him a smile as she moved them to the island in the kitchen. "Um you can unpack other things, I was really serious about the books. I have to organize them just right which means getting them all out first!"

It'd be best to just take ALL the books out and organize them by color and stuff before shelving. She plugged the laptop in, plugged in the speakers since they improved the sound quality greatly and then opened it up. In a moment Miyako's music was playing! Her...admittedly dirty playlist... was playing...

Something about a robot... unfeeling things... All of which she began to sing along to, moving her body unconsciously to the beat as she headed for the books. Organizing...

"A...Ah...Mn..." Hibiki gave a small nod at that; he supposed it was fine...Miyako...knew of this secret and...he had accepted...her knowing it...so it would be fine to...to do that...and attempt to be more open with things.

Unpack the other things...

His eyes ventured towards the boxes that weren't books, and he stepped over towards them. He would get these unpacked and settled then while Miyako handled the books...right.

This one...oh.

This one just had tons of cat toys in it.

Noticing this, he picked up the box and approached the area where some of Regalia's other things were set up, dumping the box in that area...which caught the attention of the cat who was now getting up from the couch to investigate.

That was when the music came on, or more so...the lyrics started registering in his mind.

H...Hah?

Looking over to Miyako, she didn't seem to mind at all; she was...singing along!? H...Hah!? This song...

Put...mouth...

A...A...h...

"Yes! It was a date then~" Miyako was, if not up to her usual par, seemingly much better feeling now. It was definitely not faked and she seemed lighter, smiling more and more as Hibiki's happy secret made her happier.

He liked those stories! He liked something she liked, enough that he'd tried to hide it like a dog that broke the plant pot and tried to pretend they hadn't.

The thought made her giggle mid-song as she pulled armfulls of books from the boxes. Lets see... reds here, oranges next to them... Blues right there! She roughly organized them into small piles before looking over them and moving to get the next batch.

She...missed Hibiki's utter shock as she happily and rather nicely sang that lovely song about robot parts. As it switched to the next song, it would seem Hibiki's horror had only just begun. This song was worse... Gigantic OTN was just so much fun though! And with barely any mind to the words, she sang along again and danced lightly on her feet.

Miyako could never resist catchy songs for dancing, even in her underwear.

Just when he thought...the horror was over with...another song began. At first, just judging by the beat he had hoped maybe that the first song had been one of a kind on the playlist...

...He had been wrong.

He had been very...very wrong.

T...This was one was even more explicit!

Despite his state Hibiki attempted to continue unpacking, Miyako...didn't seem to have a care in the world. She was singing along...d-dancing even... Th...This was...normal?

Miyako was insanely oblivious to Hibiki's horror over her music choices. Apparently this playlist was all porn songs, all the time... She continued to sort into a rainbow of books, her hips swaying and body moving despite her work. It must have been normal for her to do things to music like this because she could focus on dancing softly, singing and working all at once.

In fact she focused more due to that it seemed. Her focus was intense on the books, almost as if when she was in a painting fever... Though Hibiki might not have seen her in such yet so in addition to the dancing this might be a first...

After that song, he was given a break by a perfectly normal upbeat and also dancing song. Nothing really bad about it, she sang to it too. Another song... another... she danced to them all before it returned to... to horror.

"Penetrating into your body, I experienced your sweet honey~... I wanna make love do you want to get laaaid~" She sang along, especially happy at this song in soft engrish as she began putting the first row of red books on top.

A...Aha... This song was safe...from what he was hearing.

After the second song had ended another had started, and it was...not like the first two. He was able to put more focus on unpacking thanks to that, not really minding the music, though...this break had lulled him into a false sense of security as it ended, and the next song ultimately betrayed him.

H-How many songs like these did she have!? He had...managed to get the cat box, a couple of boxes of decor items, and...a third of this next box out and set out in the time it took for that last song to go on before the next began...this one...not safe... T...This again!?

Miyako continued on, dancing around as if it were the most common thing in the world...e-even singing along to it...

...

....

Again, Hibiki could hardly focus on getting the boxes unpacked... W-What the hell was she saying!?

"....."

Miyako was shelving the red up when she noticed Hibiki's utter silence. It was a heavy one and she turned around to check on his progress, her words trailing off during the song.

She froze like an otter in headlights as she caught him staring straight at her. Red rose up on her cheeks as she became uncomfortably aware of how little she was wear and how much of her booty she had been shaking while singing... a song about...

Hibiki was staring... Miyako looked away as she dashed to her computer, vaulting over the couch and slamming it closed. The music cut off as she stared down at it, her hand reaching up to flusterdly play with her ribbon...

Hibiki could only open his mouth in preparation to speak as Miyako slowed to a stop, her words trailing off as she turned and noticed him. W...Wha...

Staring. He was...st-

Just before he could attempt to turn his head, she'd already noticed and had vaulted over the couch to stop her music, promptly slamming her laptop shut to cut it off.

"A...a...h..." W...What was he supposed to say!? She was flustered... He... "I...got...stuff unpacked..." He noted aloud, though it was an obvious failure in shoving away the flustered air.

Miyako adjusted her shirt, pulling it down lightly but it wasn't like it was going to go down more than it was... She took to adjusted the edge of her underwear and scooting around the island, almost shyly as she stared at the counter. "A-Ah...yeah...good...good job... W-We are...making progress..."

He'd seen her dance before, but this was different. They were alone, she was barely dressed... That song was especially...

Her face burned brightly but she had to ask even if she didn't look up. "...You were staring... Was...it really that interesting?"

Progress... R...Right, they were making progress...with the unpacking. Things were getting put away. They were unpacking...doing good at...unpacking...

"A...Ah..."

Her next question caused Hibiki to snap out of his frozen state somewhat, if only to force his eyes towards the contents of the current box he had. I-Interesting...?

"I...a...mn..."

What was he supposed to say!?

It seemed Hibiki was...broken too. He just... was standing there she noticed as her eyes finally took a quick glance up. He broke worse than she had and she hadn't been the one staring at him! Was that... a good stare or not?

His stuttered reply didn't help her and she cocked her head, flushed but...curiosity warring with that fluster.

"...Sh-Should I put the music back on and keep...?" If...he liked it...? What...harm was there in letting him... watch... Even if it was flustering... He was her boyfriend, they...did worse things. Better things. If he wanted to...get a show like that...its...not like she objected...

"G-Gh-!?" Miyako's question had gotten a visible jolt out of him as he forced his attention back to the boxes. H-He did not need a show! T-That... He didn't! They were fine just...just unpacking normally!

It was obvious...even if he'd deny it to hell and back...that he was flustered.

Unpack, just get things unpacked...

Then nice...nice relaxing bath. Nice, hot, relaxing, soothing, nonflustering bath... Nothing to worry about in there, no explicit lyrics from music, no work to strain their muscles... Nope, none of that in the baths.

"...Y-You do! You are having... You had! Th-Those thoughts!" Miyako noticed the jolt and jolted herself, her hands coming up to her mouth and covering it in shock. He was...really thinking... wasn't he?!

Hibiki had liked... He was flustered! Super flustered! She was more flustered because he was flustered... His attention being forced to the boxes again wasn't helping it it seemed and Miyako just...opened her computer back up and hit shuffle again.

A perfectly normal song popped up and she sighed in relief before moving back to the bookcase. No need for... things or thoughts right now. They...bath was later and it would be sweet and relaxing. They could cool fluster there...

Hibiki admitted nothing.

He gave no response that could ever be taken as an answer to her accusation. F-Flustered... No way, he wasn't flustered; he was just distracted! He had been shocked because of the songs! That was it!

Back to unpacking, just...there were still a few more boxes...

Song...

T-This one was normal...a nice...normal song... Alright, he could work with this; he could get things unpacked properly...

And he did just that, moving to get the other boxes near him unpacked now that he'd finished putting away their decor items. If Miyako wanted to move them around later then that was fine... He wasn't good with placing things meant for...looking at...

Miyako felt the silence... Hibiki...for sure had... liked it... in a way he wasn't comfortable admitting. Her face heated up but she didn't say another damned thing about it. He...really liked it...

It was flattering... She had been flustered enough to want to put her skirt back on but she... she held off. If he wanted to look he could...

The young woman was quickly distracted again though, the normal song helping with that as she moved through the rainbow of books. Luckily for the pair her playlist was kind. It played upbeat songs that she slowly but surely began dancing to again and sang along with.

More rows done with the bookshelves she'd made earlier! This was so nice, the colors really stood out and she heard a song she loved. It had been a bit, Hibiki busy with his unpacking that she had forgotten as she'd focused again. Thus when New Order came on, the young woman sang along with abandon again and danced.

She trusted in his eye for details!

Another box done, and the songs continued to be fairly normal. Upbeat music that was common with Miyako's taste as they continued to go about unpacking. As time passed the amount of packed boxes seemed to diminish, only a few left and the place was definitely starting to look more homey due to their work.

Almost done then... Almost. There was still a bit to do, things to get set out, set up...

!?

H-Hah!? Again he felt he'd been lured into a false sense of security as the lyrics to a song began to register in his head. W..Wh... H...Hah!?

W-What-

Hibiki ended up stunned again, unable to properly focus on unpacking at a steady pace. He'd been tricked, completely fooled...

Miyako was finishing up the shelf, the final one really since they couldn't fill all of them yet but she was prepared for more... It was the violets and as she swayed her hips, she brought her arms over her head as she was now free to dance as she pleased!

"The urges that have already been woken up... E-EH!?" Miyako turned lightly as she danced, hip cocked out before she noticed Hibiki staring... Again. He...was frozen...

"I-If you keep staring like that... Y-You are telling me...you really like it you know!" Miyako's voice was a high squeak as her hands fisted at her sides, eyes closed as she called across the room. She was so extremely flustered, this song was a bit slower and...so she...moved more... more... in ways that were...

"Even...if your words lie! And your thoughts! Y-Your body and eyes aren't..."

"Gh-! Not...staring!" Hibiki again forced his attention back to the remaining boxes; no, he was not staring he was...stunned. Just stunned after having been lulled into seemingly nice but truly cruel, and false security!

I-It wasn't like he...expected...all songs to be without some questionable lyrics, but-!

But, come on!

Gh....g...

Focus on unpacking, just get...the rest of these things unpacked. Next box, he could move on to the next box now. Progress.

Despite Miyako's words as she claimed his body or eyes wouldn't lie, he said nothing; he was...was unpacking! He was unpacking and getting things done!

"When someone's eyes are open and they are looking at someone... and not blinking! Th-That's staring!" Miyako retorted, arms waving at her sides now in an almost pinwheel motion as she became more and more flustered. He obvious had been! His eyes had been on her until she made him pay attention!

"Hi-Bi-Ki! You are ignoring me!" She paused her flustered freak out to listen to the song on currently, since New Order ended rather soon after she'd noticed his staring.

He was just unpacking! Unpacking while not looking at her!

Fine!

...Ifuudoudou was a good song for distractions and she began singing it and moving to the beat. Embarrassment faded as she lost herself in the song, singing more and more clearly and waiting for him to stare again! "Don't waste time hiding it, do what's on your mind more proudly than anyone!"

Hah!

N...Not staring.

He had been frozen, but...but...

Hibiki had his attention forced on the box as Miyako seemed to give up in her attempts to make him admit to any accusation of staring. He...He was unpacking boxes, not staring...

Again though, another song started up and... W-... This one just flat out started with moaning! Wh-!?

Before he could lose himself to being forced into a stunned positioning, he continued unpacking, forcing his mind to focus on that. Boxes, there were still boxes...

...

Forcing his attention on the boxes wasn't working...so instead, he forced his face into the side of the couch since he was sitting down. There. Easy solution if he couldn't focus...

Miyako grew grumpy! Hibiki was ignoring heeeer! Utterly ignoring her! He focused on the box entirely, until he finally snapped and just buried his face against the couch. That...was...

Seriously! It was okay to stare just ADMIT IT! Hibiki!

Walking with a sway to her step, she bent down over the edge of the couch and moved her lips close to his ear as the song started to end, she moaned softly the ending part and then spoke the final words in english. "Just kidding~"

If he was gonna be like this she would teach him a lesson!
