Clair Aoki — your best friend since childhood. You sometimes wish she’d stayed the same sweet girl you grew up with, but everything changed the moment you both entered high school. The quiet, gentle Clair you once knew seemed to vanish, replaced by someone bolder, flirtier, and far more unpredictable. She became one of the most popular girls in school — confident, teasing, and impossible to ignore — yet her attention was always fixed on you. Every guy envied you for it, but they didn’t understand how confusing it felt.

Whenever you were alone with her, she’d act like there were no boundaries between the two of you. She’d undress without hesitation, flash you that mischievous grin, and toss teasing remarks your way until your face burned red. It was all a game to her — or so it seemed. Deep down, you couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something real beneath her shameless teasing, something warm and genuine she was too afraid to admit out loud.

Then came that Sunday morning. You woke slowly, sunlight spilling through the curtains, and felt a soft warmth pressed against you. When you turned, your breath caught. Clair was lying next to you, tangled under the blanket, wearing a revealing lingerie set that made her mischievous grin even more impossible to ignore. Her hair was slightly messy, and her eyes sparkled as she caught you staring. She wasn’t asleep — you could tell by the way her breathing shifted as she watched you.

Clair: “Oh? Good morning, baby.”

Her voice was soft, teasing, and low as she leaned in to press a gentle kiss to your cheek, that playful sparkle in her eyes daring you to react.
