Tsubaki's eyes fluttered open to the sight of some azure hair. It was messed up and spiky as if loosely tossed together by a haphazard hairdresser for a Tim Burton movie. However it was soft. A morning pleasure was to run her fingers though it and waft the smell that came off of his locks. She didn't realize that she was spooning him so she wormed back thinking How embarrassing. She couldn't deny she loved the warmth because it was the winter, but it still seemed weird.
Tsubaki got up to put her hair up in a bun and get dressed. As she slipped out of her bed shorts and black shirt she stared at Blackstar. He has grown a full head above her now and filled out those muscle shirts with his new physique. It was also a morning pleasure of hers to stare at the meister who made her a death scythe, the meister who surpassed god, the meister who was all she needed from this world. He may have been that once perverted kid that peeped on her in the bathe, but it seemed he had matured. He was much more handsome and he was more laid back (however, he was still arrogant). She could still be turned on if she ran her fingers along his rippling abs and traced it up to his chest. Certainly her partner was good-looking, but now he was desirable.
*fart* some things never change she thought as she quickly dressed before being wafted the ungodly stench. In the kitchen she started the rice and began to make waffles and eggs. She cooked for him even though she was an independent death scythe. They may have no longer needed each other, but she stayed to help cook and clean for him. They could have afforded a new apartment, but their life was fine. Being so close they had their moments of intimacy, but Blackstar was never part of those moments
I think of him and it's not like he does for me. He needs me. I'm like a mom or a sister to him -_-. She groaned at the thought of her, a death scythe, being the eternal maid and caretaker for her meister. In the end she never really cared about it. She just kept on cooking.
"But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours..." she began to sing
Groggily waking up with the covers over his body Blackstar awoke to hear his partner's sweet voice. It was a good alarm. I don't think I should hit snooze just yet, he thought. He sat up and just listened until the smell of her cooking permeated the walls to hit his nose. Bursting out the room her announced
"OH YEAH, THE BREAKFAST OF THE GODS"
"Well, Mr. big star, sit down and your plate will be ready in a sec"
As she piled the food on his plate he voraciously ate it with gusto. She loved that he loved her cooking.
"So I'm headed to Asia for the next couple of days, but I'll be back as soon as I can. In the mean time I have made a couple of your favorite meals for you to just heat up. If you need help you can call Maka for some support, kay"
"kay" he said with a full mouth. Some things never change
She left shortly after doing the dishes and he headed to the DWMA where he taught alongside Soul, Maka, and Kid. Everybody was much older, but not much changed. Although Maka and Soul were now set to be engaged it wasn't much different. Except that Maka grew a lil' bit of a bigger set of boobs... that was a surprise.
"They're nothing like Tsubaki's awesome rack though!" he grinned to himself.
Halfway through the day Blackstar could be found in the gym training even harder and then soul came up. His crimson eyes could still stare at Blackstar and be amazed that a guy like him could do so much. But he was, after all, a big shot.
"So I hear you're gonna be left alone for a couple of days since Tsubaki is out of town. Sure you won't die of starvation" he grinned at his trash compactor of a friend.
"Nyahahaha. Me? Die. it'll take a lot more a lack of that women's cooking to kill me. I'm too strong for that."
"Well Maka and I are going to be going out so if you need any company you can join us" Soul interjected
"Nah dude I'll be fine. If I could just teach these damn kids about Soul Resonance then I'd be perfect" he grumbled. Blackstar was a great warrior, but being a teacher was too academic a path for him. He preferred a more hands on approach...much like Sid did.
"How about you just tell them to sleep in the same bed as each other that'll work" Soul sarcastically suggested. However, Soul realized that this idea was actually forming a real idea in Blackstars head. He could see the cogs of the assassin's brain moving, but Soul stopped it saying,
"Ahh fuck no dude, don't do that we're a school, not a breeding farm."
"But me and Tsubaki do it and we're just fine" Blackstar commented.
"That's because you and Tsubaki aren't humping each other like a pair of furrbies. Seriously man I'm gonna be honest, how have you not tapped that?" he slyly questioned.
"MAKA CHOP"
A textbook the size of the dictionary lodged itself into Soul's skull and Maka came from behind him.
"Don't be such an instigator Soul, I'm sure Blackstar knows that Tsubaki lives with him for more than just the rent money. Now shut the fuck up and stop rushing the natural order" she demanded
Blackstar was not paying attention so he went up to the roof to cool off from his workout. He had stared out at the panting sun as it fought sleep. Could I fight this feeling that burns like the sun.
Blackstar came home.
"Tsubakiiiii, here's my dirty clothes" he called out. No one was home to pick up him clothes. Stupid, she isn't here….it's kind of empty. Blackstar didn't know what to do. No one greeted him. There wasn't that warm presence to make him smile. There was no one to take his dirty work-out clothes. GAHHH what the fuck does she do with them he thought staring dumbfounded at his shorts. The apartment even seemed darker with no candles or lights on. Only a fringe of light running along the back of the couch illuminated the area. He wasn't used to this feeling of emptiness. He was a star that no one was watching.
"Maybe I'll just play some video games" he said to himself. He played games for about two hours before his stomach told him that it was time for him to eat.
"Tsubakiiiii, I'm hungry what's for…." His voice trailed off from the initial yell. He realized again that his partner was not there. No one was there to provide for him. He opened the fridge and began to rummage through to find a meal when he noticed some covered dishes. They were prepared food, but it didn't much excite him to read the directions on the sticky note: (Tusbaki's voice)"Blackstar here are some meals for while I am away, just take off the tin foil and put it in the microwave for 45 seconds, 'kay –LOVE Tsubaki ".
"ughhhhhhh, fuck it I'm just gonna call MAKA" he groaned to himself. He knew what to do, but some part of him wanted the company of someone else.
Maka came over after Blackstar called
"Are you serious?" she said looking at the note "You dragged me from Soul for this crap…you're hopeless no wonder Tsubaki stays with you" she commented.
"I haven't noticed it before, but she does so much…..she works so hard, and I can't even eat without her. It seems weird. I don't ever know what the fuck to do with my laundry" he said slamming his laundry into Maka's face.
Pushing the clothes away she grumbled "Look, Blackstar, Tsubaki is one of my best friends. She cares about all of us, but she always has stuck by you, even when you were an arrogant smartass"
"So?" he questioned.
"So, it's like Soul. I may be useless when it comes to making food, but Soul wakes up just to cook for the both of us. He cleans and does most everything Tsubaki does. She does that because she really wants you to be happy. It's not just a weapon pleasing their meister. Don't you get it, It's your partner showing her affection."
"I'm sorry what were you saying I was spacing out there" he groggily said to her
"MAKA CHOP" she exclaimed.
Blackstar was passed out and when he woke up he saw the meal was prepared for him. He voraciously ate it and nursed his now bruised skull back to health when a comment of Maka's reared itself back
She does do so much. Why haven't I noticed? Now that I've surpassed god and she's a death scythe I can see that she has done a lot for me over the years. I'LL DO SOMETHING FOR HER! He thought
Blackstar had no idea what to do. He thought about it for a while after dinner. Then with a huge grin he sprinted around the house and started making preparations.
"IM SO GREAT SHE WON'T KNOW HOW TO REACT TO SOMETHING THIS AWESOME" he triumphantly yelled
Tsubaki came back 2 days after she left Blackstar home. She missed him. She wasn't used to having her partner be so far away from her. Between him and her, space was as thin as the clothes they wore, or in Blackstar's case, seldom wore. She blushed at the thought, but she still felt guilty for just leaving him there. It was more missing the company than the guilt. She wanted to hear his voice and see his smile, and -if she got the chance- lay next to him in bed and watch him breathe slowly, her heart adapting to his slow palpitations. She never knew that Blackstar was always awake for it all. Always feeling her soft hand caress the top of his messy bangs to see his face. His senses were so heightened he knew her breathing, her heartbeat, her slowly rising temperature, and her soft hands. It was his pleasure to fall sleep to her subtle reactions.
When Tusbaki finally got back to the apartment complex she raced up the stairs to see Blackstar, but stopped herself to get some composure and elegantly walk in. As she opened the door a loud BANG emmited from above her and the room was filled confetti. A sign said
"WELCOME BACK HOME TSUBAKI!" in bold letters. It looked like it was hastily painted, because it was still wet from the purple paint Blackstar used. Under it on a single table with a note that read "take a bath, ill see you later"
She followed as the note said, because she knew she smelled disgusting from the trip and so she went to go wash up.
Her skin all clean and her hair smelling like lily blossoms she pulled a towel out and a note fell from the inner folds of the cloth. She looked at it questionably.
"Go to 1730 Dragonback lane, don't be late ;)"
Don't be late... be late for what? She had a lot of questions about these notes Blackstar was leaving. They were written on cards with weird intersecting lines across the backs. They had no real set pattern they were just random. She would have kept thinking, but it was already five and it would be dark soon so she rushed off with her hair dried and her old clothes on with a coat. She arrived at this really nice dress shop. She stared at the lovely dresses for a minute before going inside the shop
"Hello?"
"Yes, hello, welcome to Dresses to Die for, how can I help" a short manager smiled
"I'm looking for my friend Blackstar. He has messy blue hair and-
"AHHHHH yesssss, I know him, he told me to give you this" the man ecstatically announced. The manager retreated into the back room to get a dress wrapped in plastic. It was a deep blue dress that darkened to black as it went to the bottom. A slit ran along the side of it and it was embroidered with Rhine stones that glistened in the light. The dress had two straps that were tied together in the back that if undone would drop to reveal her whole cleavage. As risqué a dress it was, it had a quality of capturing the eye and being all too beautiful.
"This... is for me?" she questioned
"Yes and so is this" The manager handed her the note
"Go to 1324 Reaper road. Go to roof"
I had better hurry. This dress looks so expensive, why would Blackstar be doing this to me
"Thank you very much sir" she said racing out of the store, dress in hand
She left fast not knowing what to expect. She arrived at 1324 Reaper Road to find what looked like an old apartment building. She went in and saw a line of glowing candles running up the marble staircase they ran all the way into a room where there was a full length mirror, some chocolates and a small box. She looked at the box and saw that on the box there was a scratched in pair of words "Wear me." Inside there were two star earrings. They were star-shaped jet gems that had a diamond center. The stars hung tight against Tsubaki's ears and did not dangle. Just then she noticed the mirror had a sign "Wear the Dress". She was starting to lose her patience. She didn't want to be toyed around anymore. She just wanted to see Blackstar instead of some expensive clothes and the hastily made notes attached to them. They were not her priority, he was. However, she still had the curiosity to keep playing so she slipped on the dress thinking
It is way too cold out there, why would he want me to wear this thing?
She looked at herself in the mirror and admired how Blackstar had gotten the right sized dress for her. She didn't know that he knew every inch of her, but he most definitely did. Her butt was gently hugged by the dress and her bosom was heaved upward with the straps holding her breasts in. Her body was lightly caressed by the silk fabric and it gave her skin shivers just to feel it.
With her coat on she made her way upstairs with sign after sign telling her where to go. She frustratingly bit into the chocolate and thought of how she is so irritated with her partner for making her come all this way.
Finally she came to a door that said "flip the switch and open me" she did so and was blinded by a bright set of lights. Paper lanterns with star cut outs were tied along several lines criss-crossing in the air. They were flickering from the fire they emitted. A rush of warm air hit her and the need for her jacket fell with her mouth as she looked across the roof. A white fur carpet ran out to a red blanketed table. It was candle lit and filled with her favorite foods. Standing by the candle lit table was Blackstar is a black suit grinning from ear to ear.
"Welcome home Tsubaki, I hope you like the surprise" he said
She was still in shock to see that Blackstar had set this up. It was magical. Everything was warm and inviting. The air was filled with a sweet aroma and it never felt as if they were on a roof in the middle of winter. It felt as if they were in bed gently radiating heat from their bodies. Tsubaki's heart skipped a beat and Blackstar could just smile.
"Well come on, the food will get cold if you just stand there" he said as he nudged her petrified body forward to the table.
"You did all this" she wondrously questioned.
"Yep it's a lot easier than training; I just had to put my mind to it"
Tsubaki was still amazed at it all. She never knew Blackstar could do so much. She was flabbergasted. Who was this man who was supposed to be the warrior who punched his problems before he even thought about them? However, she should have expected this kind of greatness.
He's so good at training that when he puts his mind to it he does his very best. When he really has a goal in mind he will do it all and then some. However, I didn't believe he could do something like this. It's beautiful
"This is for you Tsubaki" he announced as he sat her down in her seat.
"For me?" she stared a blush welling up in her.
"Yes for you, this is all for you. For all that you do, for all that you say, and all that you put up with"
Tears were welling up in her
"I realized that you have been there for me all the time we have been partners. You have done alot. I didn't like that you were gone for so long. The apartment was empty and I missed you, but as a show of my happiness and gratitude I set this up for you. Damn that was a lot to say; glad I wrote it on my arm" breathing a sigh he smiled at his "genius".
She was about to explode.
"Tsubaki what's wrong" he questioned. "Did I do something wrong, was it the food? I know I'm not a great cook, but I tried...it's hard. Or is it the lanterns? Is it too hot? Or-"
"Blackstar, how are you so wonderful?" she smiled as tears of joy rolled down her cheeks and hit the table cloth
He smiled and said "you should know that already Tsubaki, I'm Blackstar, now eat your food before it gets cold"
He dug his fork into the meal obviously eating like he hadn't the whole day. She was too busy thinking how Blackstar could do all of this for someone like her. She was more than touched. He tried something new for her and actually did well. Her heart beat faster with every thought of him.
They ate their meal and Blackstar looked at a slightly flushed Tsubaki who wore this permanent meek expression
"Hey Tsubaki how about you sit with me on this blanket." Off near the edge of the building was a very large blanket spread out with two pillows there. She followed him to the blanket and lay down as he ran around behind the stair case door. He quickly emerged with a smile as a loud whiz flew past his ears. Just then a huge bang engulfed the sky with color and sound.
"Fireworks" she said breathlessly amazed
"Well pot of thunder and pot of fire helped me." He grinned. He layed down and stared up as the sky was lit up with intermittent balls of light that spread across death city. Tsubaki was tired, but she didn't want to rest her head on the pillow she instead laid her head on his chest. His heart would beat faster with her hair wrapping itself around his body. It was no different than when she was around him as a weapon, except that it felt more...warm. There was something shared between the two bodies that illuminated the night.
"Blackstar how can I say it. How can I tell you that this is the best thing you have ever done for me. How can I say that being next to you has set me on fire? This burning feeling. I... I... I love you" she said as if she was thinking.
Blackstar looked down at the almost sleeping figure and brought her face to his.
"I love you too" he said putting a small kiss on her forehead. It woke Tsubaki up from her daze and she saw her star in the sky retreat from the kiss and she grabbed his shirt. It was as passionate as it was sudden. She held tight so that he could not go, but he simply put his hands around her jaw and held up her face pushing it closer to his. After about a couple seconds of intensity the Natasuka heiress let go and blushed. He thought that blush was all the sign he needed.
"How about we go back home, huh" he said
"Yes, lets" she gently replied. The ninja grabbed Tsubaki and carried her to the adjacent building before saying "cheese"
DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM. Each level of the apartment building was lit up before falling down to pieces
Blackstar smiled "Nyhahahaha, well that's taken care of no cleanup required. Pot of thunder and pot of fire know how to work pyrotechnics"
Tsubaki was there thinking if we even said cheese the whole place could have been demolished...uhhh. The shock of the fact they could have been obliterated made her pass out and so Blackstar brought her back home. He laid the girl on their bed and thought
What a night, she loves me, we had a great meal, and she passed out from my greatness. Mission accomplished.
He slipped on his shinigami pajama bottoms and came back in the bedroom to see Tsubaki dressed in her bed clothes. She stared up at Blackstar with a sultry look and lifted up the covers.
Who is this Tsubaki? He thought
"Aren't you coming to bed, hun" she winked. She was behaving so impossibly sexy and seductive. She even wore a tight t-shirt and no pants. It seemed as if she was begging him with her eyes to jump next to her.
"yeah" he said fighting back a nosebleed.
Blackstar sidled up next to Tsubaki and planted his right arm on her hip. She let out an excited squeak. She blushed and they looked at each other.
"How many times have we slept in here and we've never slept like this"
"What are you talking about sleep for?" Blackstar said with a grin. He leaned his weight over her toppling her face-up on the bad and him mounted above her with the same grin. She began to blush and closed her eyes to wait for Blackstar's lips.
Tsubaki felt a heavy weight come down on her and was startled to find that just after she had closed her eyes Blackstar had passed out from sheer exhaustion. His body was limp and he could not be woken up. His heavy muscles and long hair aggravated her. The weapon pushed her meister to the other side of the bed where he lay peacefully dead asleep. She ran her fingers along his hair to feel its softness.
So tired. So wonderful. The brighter the star burns the faster it goes out haha. Oh well he may be gone, but ill still have his heart.
She snuggled up next to her meister to hear him breath, to feel his heartbeat, and smell his intoxicating scent. She loved this time of night. He was gone and she was able to be as close to her lover as possible.
At noon the next morning Blackstar awoke later than usual. He was just groggily waking up trying to recount last night's event when he turned his head to see Tsubaki taking a shower. She left the shower curtains open to expose the sensual curves of Tsubaki's form. Blackstar could feel a rise in blood pressure when Tsubaki turned from watching her hair to see he once asleep lover staring at her. She screamed and threw a shirukin at her meister's forehead. Distracted from the free show he took the throwing star to the dome and writhed in pain.
"Ahhhh fuck, what's wrong with you. You were just going to sleep with me last night. Why would you hit me for looking this morning" he barked.
"I'm in the light and you can see everything, last night was dark and... you saw too much" she screamed as her hand pulled the curtain back. After that whole incident they both had breakfast and walked together to the DWMA.
"Class is in session today"
