Heyo! This is yet again a no-sleep fic. I've been really busy with life. What a lame excuse. I'm such a bore. .-. Any who, I've yet to think of any good direction I can put my work-in-progress Shido/Kurumi/Yoshino/Kotori story in, so I just keep holding it off. I can't help it. I don't want it to be bad at all. I literally have spent weeks making like 7 total different chapters for ch. 3 and they're all so bad and cheesy. So, here's a coffee and angst induced, dubstep influenced Shido/Harem fic. Mainly Shido/Kurumi, But I 100% support Shido harem ;3. I hope you read this A/N. XD It's semi-important, I suppose. It's probably not going to be super good, but I enjoyed writing this. I hope you enjoy, dear friends.

P.S: Sorry in advance for the short chapter, but coming up is Yoshino's chapter, so stay tuned. It'll hopefully be longer. 83

Curtains open

It's not every day that Shido can just go home and relax. He just wants to take things slow with everything, at this point. Miku, The Yamais, Yoshino, Tohka, Kotori, Kurumi... he just wants a break. Truthfully, he was never really good at talking. Talking to anyone. Girl, boy, it was no difference to him. He was just a flat out introvert.

And then his life took a turn for the worst, in his mind. His sister Kotori made him her plaything for saving spirits.

Truthfully, if he was meant to do this, meant to save the lives of people, he doesn't mind.

But the fact that he has to keep constant watch on her affection levels and date them constantly is really settling in it's toll on his physical and mental health.

Maybe he's not so much of an introvert anymore.

After Kurumi had let Shido peek at her panties during school he lost control of himself. He never realized how easy it was to just talk to people. Shido never actually understood why she did what she did, but the majority of him was not against it.

Hell, one might call it. Heaven, another may preach it. A house full of girls that love you, right? Of course, it's every mans dream! A harem of beautiful girls, surrounding you, doing you any favor you wish.

Except, it's Shido we're on about, here. He's not after sex, or sexual favors. He just wants a friend.

It's ironic. He has 6 girlfriends, and not a single, actual, reliable friend. Nobody he could just sit down and chat with. Talk about life, gossip, laugh, love, feel comfortable around. He was just suddenly thrown into this hell-on-earth by his demon-brat sister, and he hated it. All of it.

What he did enjoy though, was Tohka's lovely personality. She was always so bubbly and willing to cheer Shido up, by any means possible.

Any.

Let's go back into the past for a moment, shall we?

First Kiss

Sweating bullets, Shido stared at the scene that played out in front of him. His first experience like this happened so stupidly, so out of the blue.

There, in doggy-style position in front of him, face-to-face, tits-to-chest, a pair of tickets were in-between Tohka's breasts.

"W-W-What?" Shido backed even further into the chair than he already was. He felt lucky that apparently his spine is made out of diamond. He would have been dead from the sheer force of pushing himself back.

Okay, maybe it was a bit of an over exaggeration. On both ends.

"Please, Shido?" She wiggled her body, her breasts jiggling ever-so-slightly. Shido felt something in his brain click as he looked at her breasts.

"They said it would work... weird..." Shido grabbed ahold of her and kissed her gently. What should have happened was that Tohka was supposed to get up and walk away, ashamed of her foolish attempt to sucker him into a date using her breasts. What actually happened was that Tohka was being gently kissed by her introvert-like boyfriend.

Shocked beyond words, Tohka began to exchange saliva with him, slowly, gently. Gradually lustfully. The tickets fell out of her shirt, onto the floor, along with some saliva.

Shido pulled away, feeling a wave of pulverization shock him to the bones. 'I-I... I just, I just did that?... I just did that... I sooo just did that... I did that to Tohka just now, she... she must feel wrong..' He looked away in shame, his face aflame. Tohka was stunned, and she looked away.

Oh, how cute she was. It really would have been able to be a picture worth a thousand words if someone would have snapped the scene.

"Shido..." She grabbed his face with a single hand, and gradually began to give him a small smile, forgiving him for the surprise kiss. "I don't want to go on the date for now... but," She touched her lips with two fingers as she felt the tingling sensation of leftover warmth on lips of her own. Shido gulped and nodded, a gesture signaling to go on.

"Can we do that again?..."

End

Slowly, his life twirled into something he thought would never come to be. He slowly started to break out of this stone shell he had cocooned himself into. He was finally able to see hope at the end of the tunnel.
