Minako hadn't realized it then. She hadn't realized exactly who she was yet.
All she knew then was what she wanted.
Which was why she was staring her gumpy senpai in the face with puffy cheeks and the determination of Mitsuru in an exam. "I won't leave!" she said with the utmost determination. And with that he had pulled her close and told her all the things she wanted to hear.
Every last word.
And then he said he wouldn't hold back anymore, and he didn't. But even if he was determined, he was tender all the same. He was tender as he unbuttoned her shirt and unhooked her bra. Even his look was tender as he examined all of her, her slender body so soft in his eyes. And he kissed her and lovingly shed her of her underwear and she knew then without a word that he really did love her too.
'But I'll never hear you say it will I senpai?' the thought came to her mind suddenly. She got chills. Why would she think that? He had been reaching for something in his wallet, trying to be safe she supposed, but she put her hand on his arm. "You don't need to," she said gently. He looked at her questioningly. "You sure? You know all that shit they say in magazines and comics is wrong right? There's no such thing as a safe day..." he seemed extremely skeptical of her.
"I know," she said as she smiled.
He was so tender with her. And it didn't hurt too badly, she guessed from all the Tartarus trips and flexibility she'd gained from them. But it did still hurt, and when he touched her face to reassure her she saw a gentleness in him she loved so deeply. "Don't hold back, senpai!" she reminded him teasingly. Her newly opened orifice quivered as he took her. He held her legs farther apart and she let him. Was this what it was like to be loved? To be filled completely.
"Minako..." he moaned out her name as his pace increased. "Shinjiro..." she whispered back to him as she tried to rock her hips with his. It started to feel nice, but seeing him enjoying it was the best part. "Do I make you feel good?" she whispered huskily. "God...yes..." he said with a glossed over look in his eyes.
Later he held her close and his look was tender then too. It was like the first time any girl would want. But why had she told him not to bother? Why did it make her feel sad to see his tenderness? She began to drift to sleep as she felt Shinjiro's come between her legs. She was satisfied.
It would only be until later that she realized the reason she did not fear a life growing inside of her was because all she could possibly hold within herself was death.
