"Kyo?"
Seeing Kyo suddenly slump onto the dining table without moving, Soyo panicked and quickly approached to check on her.
Up close, she called Kyo's name and gently shook her shoulder, but there was no response.
Soyo's anxiety spiked. Worried that something might be wrong, she was about to shake her harder—
But then Kyo let out a few soft, incoherent murmurs, shifted into a slightly more comfortable position, and continued sleeping.
Only then did Soyo breathe a sigh of relief. So she just fell asleep…
Was Kyo really that exhausted? She ate her fill and then just… passed out right there at the dining table.
Soyo patted her cheek lightly, then gave it a small pinch. "Kyo, wake up. If you want to sleep, you can't do it here."
But it was like Kyo had been drugged—she had barely just fallen asleep, yet she was already in such a deep slumber, showing no signs of waking up.
Now that Soyo was sure she was only sleeping, she couldn't exactly use force to wake her up.
Staring at Kyo's sleeping face, Soyo found herself at a loss for what to do.
Kyo had agreed earlier that they could sleep together, and she never took those words back. And now, she was already asleep…
As Soyo gazed at her, completely unresponsive no matter what was done, a thought crept into her mind.
Would she really not wake up… no matter what I did?
Slowly, Soyo leaned down, inching closer to Kyo's face—
Then stopped.
She remained still for a few seconds, hesitating.
In the end, she pulled back.
After all… Kyo's feelings for me aren't that kind. If I crossed the line, she'd just get mad again.
Finishing her own meal quickly, Soyo carefully lifted Kyo into her arms.
Her physical strength wasn't exceptional, but she was still within the average range for a high school girl.
And Kyo was really light. Even carrying her like this was only somewhat strenuous.
She brought Kyo to her room, setting her down on the bed and propping her up against the wall so she was sitting upright.
Then, Soyo went to fetch an unopened spare toothbrush from the house supplies. After carefully washing it, she poured a cup of warm water and returned to the room, holding the toothbrush and cup in hand.
Dipping the toothbrush into the warm water, she hesitated for a moment before making up her mind.
She placed four fingers under Kyo's chin, using her thumb to press gently against her lips.
So soft.
That was Soyo's first thought.
Her second was that it felt almost like touching a water balloon.
Kyo's lips, always looking so full and flushed, without a hint of dryness or chapping, were just as bouncy to the touch as they appeared.
It was ridiculously easy for Soyo's thumb to slip between Kyo's upper and lower lips, prying them apart slightly, nudging against her unguarded teeth to open her mouth just a little.
As soon as she did, Kyo instinctively stirred in her sleep, shifting uncomfortably—but she still didn't wake up. Her parted lips naturally tried to close again.
But Soyo's thumb, already inside, kept them from shutting completely.
In her sleep, Kyo unconsciously bit down, as if in weak protest. But it was useless—her bite had no strength behind it.
Eventually, she relaxed again, simply holding Soyo's finger in her mouth.
Gulp.
Soyo swallowed.
It was impossible for her mind not to wander toward thoughts that were… less than pure. Thoughts that Kyo would definitely not approve of.
It's just to clean Kyo's mouth…
Soyo repeated this in her mind over and over, trying to suppress the thoughts that were quickly becoming way too inappropriate. She was already imagining things—
Good thing Kyo was only trying to keep her mouth shut in her sleep. All she did was hold onto Soyo's finger. If she had reacted in any other way… that might've been too much to handle.
Soyo also didn't dare push her fingers any deeper. If Kyo woke up now, there would be no way to explain herself.
Using her remaining three fingers to support Kyo's chin, Soyo slipped her index finger between Kyo's lips as well. Now that the gap had already been pried open by her thumb, it was easy.
With her thumb and index finger pressing gently against Kyo's upper and lower teeth, she applied a bit of force—just enough to part her mouth fully.
Now, Kyo's entire oral cavity was exposed to Soyo's gaze.
Her small tongue rested still and quiet, lying obediently in place as its owner remained in deep slumber.
Her teeth—clean, white, and perfectly aligned—resembled rows of tiny pearls, neatly arranged in the space before her. Just looking at them was oddly satisfying.
Now that Kyo's mouth was completely open, Soyo's hand was split between two sensations—
Two fingers inside, surrounded by the warmth and dampness of her mouth.
Three fingers outside, in the cool, open air.
The contrast was unmistakable.
Her mouth is… really wet.
It was almost as if Kyo had been holding a sip of water in her mouth this whole time.
Of course, it wasn't like just anyone would have the chance to experience something like this firsthand.
As Soyo continued processing the peculiar sensation on her fingers, the water on her toothbrush had almost completely dripped away. She had to dip it back into the cup, swirling it around to soak up more.
And now, it was time to actually brush Kyo's teeth.
The toothbrush made contact with her teeth.
The sight of those delicate, adorable teeth only made Soyo more cautious. She was afraid that the slightest mistake might damage something so perfect and fragile.
By this point, all of her earlier inappropriate thoughts had completely faded.
Instead, her mindset had shifted into something almost reverent—like she was handling a priceless work of art, one that needed to be cared for with the utmost precision.
With steady movements, she meticulously guided the soft bristles across every surface, cleaning every tiny gap. Any faint traces of red from dinner were gradually scrubbed away, leaving each tooth spotless once more.
It was a time-consuming, demanding task.
Only after carefully tending to each and every tooth did Soyo finally tilt Kyo's head slightly, helping her unconsciously spit out the rinse water into the cup.
With that, the job was finally done.
The moment the foreign object left her mouth, Kyo instinctively smacked her lips a little.
It must have felt good—her expression softened ever so slightly, a faint curve forming at the corners of her mouth. Then, she drifted right back into peaceful sleep.
Seeing Kyo resting so soundly filled Soyo with a quiet sense of satisfaction.
Sure, it was a bit too thrilling… but isn't this the kind of everyday closeness I wanted?
At least there was one thing to be grateful for—Kyo had already taken a bath before dinner.

Okay, real talk: I am extremely hungry for money, so I'm raising membership prices soon.
BUT.
If you're already subscribed before the change, your current price stays the same as long as you remain subscribed.
So for example:
Person A is already subscribed at $7/month
Price later goes up to $14/month
Person A still pays $7/month if they stay subscribed
Meanwhile:
Person B was not subscribed before the change
After the price becomes $14/month
Person B has to pay $14/month
So yes, prices are going up, but existing members get to keep their current rate if they stay in.
Which means:
If you want the cheaper price, join before the change. Otherwise, if you subscribe later, you'll be paying the new higher amount.
Price changes happen on Monday 16th, North America time.
