"Senpai! You're bleeding!"

It's not that bad an injury; it's just a simple papercut across his finger. But as papercuts tend to do, it's bleeding profusely.

"Don't worry about me, Ichimi, I'm fine," Jyushi says cheerfully, waving off her concerns.
"But you got this because of me! You're only here because you're helping me study..." Ichimi says, guilt plastered on her face.

"It's not a big deal-" Jyushi insists, but it doesn't stop Ichimi from taking his hand.

"Will you forgive me if I kiss it better?"
Before Jyushi can protest, she gently kisses the cut, before slipping his finger into her mouth. Her eyes widen in surprise, then lid in a daze.

"Ichimi...?"

Ichimi doesn't respond, lost in her own world. Her tongue laps at his cut, and she hums.
"You taste nice, Jyushi-senpai..." she murmurs, barely taking her mouth off his finger to speak. Jyushi tries to pull his hand back, but she squeezes it in place with both of her hand. She gently sucks his finger, her body shivering.
After some achingly slow seconds, Ichimi finally pulls back. She's breathing heavily, and if Jyushi didn't know any better, he's swear he sees hearts in her eyes. She gives one final lick to his cut, but the bleeding has since stopped.
"There... all better," Ichimi says, her original shy demeanor returned to her. "Do you forgive me now?"

"...yeah," Jyushi says, still uncertain what to make of what just happened.
"If I ever hurt you again, let me know, okay? I promise to take care of it..."

"It's fine, really. Let's get back to studying..."

As Jyushi explains the chapter, Ichimi leans against him.
She seems to be listening, and is able to hold a conversation about the subject.

But there's something different in her eyes, something terrifying in a way Jyushi can't place.

As if he's awoken a beast...
