TANAKA MARIKO<br/><br/>It was hectic in the dorm, but that was expected. After all, significant things were happening. I overheard and noted a lunch plan; maybe Akiko and I would catch them in town. Or maybe not, we'd have to see.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"It looks like we're sharing a room, Mariko-chan. Should we go see my bed?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Sharing a room? Oh, that was definitely good. See her bed? I pushed back the immediate thoughts.<em>No, not  yet.</em><strong>"Great. And sure."</strong><br/><br/>I followed her to the Lilac room, though of course I knew where it was. She soon identified her bed and flopped on it. From our conversation I surmised she didn't know it, but she looked oh so very enticing, lying there like that. It took not insignificant willpower to refrain from flopping down with her and kissing her, right then and there. Akiko would surely be blushing hard if she knew what all I was thinking. I didn't know how much she'd be able to surmise, but my body language might indicate<em>something</em>.<br/><br/><strong>"Um,"</strong>I composed myself.<strong>"Maybe we should head into town for some lunch?"</strong><em>Because if we stay in here alone much longer...</em>I tried to dismiss the thought again. What was I, one of those horny boys?<strong>"We could try to catch up with some of the other students, or go somewhere just us..."</strong>
