Night Time Protector

As Mahiru ran up the stairs she bumped in to Mitsuru and began to fall

backwards. Without thinking Mitsuru grabbed her and pulled her close to his

chest. Feeling his heart beat against her and the way it increased when he

thought she was pulling away. She realized that he didn't want to let her go,

and that was fine with her because she didn't want him to. He slowly

lifted her off her feet and carried her to the top step releasing her slowly so he

may enjoy every last bit of warmth he could get. But as she touched the ground

he suddenly regretted the decision as he watched her slowly drop her head to

hide her tears. Was she ashamed that she was crying? Mahiru didn't know what

had come over her she had never been one to show her feelings to people.

But with Mitsuru it was different not only did she want to let him see her cry but

she also wanted him to hold her and tell her it would be alright. She wanted for

him to take her in his arms and kiss her, she wanted for him to want her as she

wanted him. But she knew he didn't Love her, and knowing that made her not

want to be vulnerable. But she had already opened her self to him she couldn't

just shut it off now.

"Are you ok Mahiru" Mitsuru asked gently lifting her face with his hand.

Mahiru turned red as she met Mitsurus eyes.

"Yes... I'm ok, thank you" Mahiru was trying to stay calm and be strong. But that

"You can tell me if your not" He said hold her face close to his.

"I can't do this. I'm sorry but..." Mahiru was quickly cut off when Mitsuru pulled

her mouth to his, bring her in to a kiss. When Mitsuru released Mahiru she was

pink cheeked and starry eyed.

"UUMMM... Do you want to go to your room." Mitsuru shyly asked knowing

that what he was saying could be misinturpited or maybe how he had said it

was how it was meant. He wanted so much more then that kiss, he wanted to

hold her tightly to his body and become one with her soul.

"I would love to" she said. Her eyes shone like stars and her heart skipped a

beat or two.

"Are you ok" came a slightly surprised voice, nozomu was coming up the stairs.

(No, not like this, I don't want to lose her yet) mitsuru thought to himself.

So before nozomu could reach them mitsuru grabbed a hold of her and carried

her to her room.

As they entered he locked the door. ad tried his best to ignore the hard knocking from the other side of it.

"he is why I am crying" she spat out softly. "he tried to" her voice broke

she slowly tried again. "he tried to...
