"I didn't expect it would actually happen," Uchiha Mikoto murmured, exhausted all over.
Her whole body was curled up in Aoba's arms.
Her drunkenness had completely faded now, or rather, it wasn't the alcohol wearing off, it was the medicine wearing off.
Luckily Aoba was like a heater, so even in this early autumn weather that wasn't too cold yet, she wouldn't catch a chill from not wearing clothes.
And traces of the madness from earlier could be seen everywhere in the bedroom.
The scattered stockings and underwear on the floor were the least of it.
Even the dressing table beside them still had plenty on it.
Some had even splashed onto the wall next to it.
Uchiha Mikoto had started out like a soft little lamb, but later on she turned into a wolf grinding its teeth and sucking blood.
"What are you thinking about?", When she noticed her words weren't being answered, Uchiha Mikoto lifted her head and looked at Aoba.
And saw him staring at all the traces the two of them had left around the room.
That immediately made the thin-skinned married woman return to her usual state, flooded with shame.
She didn't need Aoba's body heat anymore, she already felt like a steamed shrimp on her own.
"Nothing, I was just surprised that gentle Aunt Mikoto also had this side to her," Aoba came back to himself and pulled his gaze away.
His feelings were honestly pretty strange right now.
Uchiha Itachi had just talked to him about this a few days ago, and now tonight it actually happened.
If Itachi found out he had taken care of Uchiha Mikoto like this, would he give up on dying and come over to fight him instead?
"T-that's because…"
Uchiha Mikoto couldn't bring herself to say the rest, her face only reddening more.
She hadn't lost her memory; everything that happened earlier in the bedroom was crystal clear in her mind.
Every single thing she'd done, like a movie playing back in her head.
If someone told her that was the clan head of the Uchiha clan behaving that way, even she herself wouldn't believe it.
That kind of crazed look was practically that of a very improper woman.
Uchiha Mikoto felt like she had fallen to the dark side.
Of course, she couldn't be blamed entirely, after all…
"Because of what? Why isn't Aunt Mikoto talking?", Aoba smiled and pressed the question.
Uchiha Mikoto let out a soft "mm", pressed her lips tight, refused to answer, and after stammering for a moment, she simply bit down on Aoba's chest.
"Stop asking those embarrassing questions. And why are you still calling me Auntie?"
"Is there something wrong with it?"
Aoba tilted his head, the hand around her waist tightening slightly.
"Aunt Mikoto!"
"You!"
Uchiha Mikoto's body trembled, and even her breath stopped for a second. Whenever he called her like that, it always made her think of their relationship.
Along with shame, she also felt a strange kind of thrill.
And at the same time, Aoba felt a warm dampness spreading against his leg.
"...", Aoba didn't say anything, but Uchiha Mikoto understood perfectly.
She hadn't expected herself to be this easily indecent.
Tonight's experience, to her, was no different from her first time.
"It's all your fault," She threw him a shy glance, then, wanting to hide her embarrassment, looked around at the messy bedroom and changed the subject.
"Making the room like this… I'll have to clean it tomorrow."
"It's fine, I'll help Aunt Mikoto clean up before going home."
Aoba shrugged.
Uchiha Mikoto shook her head, cheeks red, "No, it's better if I do it myself."
Without the courage buff from alcohol, she didn't have the nerve to let Aoba touch those dirty things.
"Then is your body alright?", Aoba asked with concern.
"Rest-resting one night should make it a bit better."
Uchiha Mikoto could hardly say the words. Aoba's strength had shocked her.
'So this is the power of youth?'
'No wonder he can date so many girlfriends at once.'
"Then maybe just take the day off tomorrow?", Aoba suggested.
"Absolutely not!", Uchiha Mikoto jolted and loudly rejected the idea.
Aoba blinked, "What's wrong?"
Uchiha Mikoto grit her teeth, "If-if I take the day off, they might notice."
"Aunt Mikoto doesn't want our relationship to be found out by the Sensei?", Aoba asked.
Uchiha Mikoto nodded with a red face, "It just feels embarrassing. After all, Lady Tsunade is your Sensei, and Shizune is also your girlfriend."
Aoba thought for a moment, then decided to be honest, "Sensei and Shizune sis probably already figured it out."
"H-how?"
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes widened.
Aoba looked innocent, "Aunt Mikoto has been acting really obvious lately. And a few days ago Kushina-nee went to Sensei to get some medicine."
"What medicine?"
A bad feeling rose in Uchiha Mikoto's heart. She remembered Tsunade's warning earlier that afternoon.
"It's probably some kind of tonic. Kushina-nee probably already used it on you earlier… uh, Aunt Mikoto, what's wrong?"
Before he finished talking, he saw Uchiha Mikoto staring blankly.
Like a doll with its mind wiped clean.
She finally understood why Tsunade had warned her to watch out for Kushina.
So now Uchiha Mikoto felt she had no face left to meet Tsunade or Shizune. She wanted to move to another planet.
But if she went to another planet, she couldn't bear to leave Aoba behind.
Aoba looked at her expression and found it funny, 'Why is this woman so cute?'
"Aunt Mikoto, don't think about it for now. Take a bath and clean up a bit. You sweated a lot earlier," As he spoke, Aoba hooked an arm under her knees, placed his other hand behind her neck, and lifted her up in a princess carry.
He stood and walked toward the bathroom.
"Ah!"
Uchiha Mikoto gasped, but then obediently wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Huh? That's strange, Aunt Mikoto. I clearly wiped you clean, so why is it still..."
"You can't! You must not continue. Sasuke might come home any moment," Uchiha Mikoto's voice was full of shame and anger.
"It's fine. Sasuke is still with Naruto."
"But… mm!"
A moment later, in the bathroom just one wall away from the bedroom, fierce and beautiful music played once again.
Tonight Aoba didn't go home.
