We’ll say this is an AU where she did return his affections.
“Souta, I just want to eat you up.” Rize embraces him like she did all those years ago.
They meet up on occasion, and he treasures every moment with her. Today she’s brought him into her apartment and is showing him all the Sen Takatsuki books she owns. His heart warms to see that she kept the copy of Dear Kafka he gave her.
“You can,” he says, playing along. “But then I’d die.”
“Not the way I want to eat you.” Rize looks at him shyly.
Furuta’s face heats. “Rize?”
“Soutaaaaaaa,” she whines.
“You really – you want to? With me?” Furuta feels like crying with happiness.
She nods eagerly.
He allows her to push him back onto her bed. If the garden found out he’s slept with a ghoul, or that Rize slept with someone other than a purebred Washuu, they’d be killed.
It makes him want her all the more.
Rize slides her hands inside his pants and giggles like a child at what she finds.
Souta laughs. When she removes her bra, his response is simply, “Whoa.”
He finds himself afraid to touch her.
Rize, however, is not afraid to touch him. “It’s okay, Souta.”
He traces the outline of her breasts and whimpers.
After a couple false starts, Furuta finally finds himself inside her and finds himself crying again with happiness.
“Souta, you really are the best.” Rize bends down to kiss his lips. “You’re my best friend, you know?”
“You’re mine, too.” Furuta gasps as sensations build. “Please don’t leave me.”
“Never,” Rize promises, collapsing atop him. “As long as you stay by my side.”
He nods and kisses her again.
