Mari looked at the midnight sky, her icy eyes staring wondrously at the star-specked velvet in the Heavens. She tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled at the liquid sky before looking down at the ground and jumping down from the roof of Hokage tower. The night was brisk and the wind howled in hushed tones, it's anger biting at and wrapping around Mari's legs. Mari slowly walked towards the mountainside which held the faces of the great Hokages. She felt mischievous eyes boring into her back, a smirk gracing her pale and flawless skin.
"Hello, Avery." Mari, said, turning on her heel as her best friend peaked his head out of the thickets along the mountainside. He blushed slightly and brushed his shaggy black hair back.
"H-hi…" Avery said, his shy-stutter getting in the way of his speech again. Mari giggled.
"Av, no need to be shy around me. You know me, remember? Or are you some psycho-freak stalker waiting for the right time to steal my virginity from me?" She giggled, musing the thought in her head.
Avery turned bright red, her question leaving little to his imagination of his best friend being dominated by some stranger… A stranger whom he imagined was himself.
"N-no! I'm not, Mari!" He stuttered, trying to shake off the sexy thoughts. His friend smiled and nodded, walking up to him.
"Then why, prey tell, were you watching me make my leave up the mountains?" She asked hotly, her face close to his. Avery's face was heated up and scarlet like the flames of Hell.
"I'm… a fox?" He asked cutely, ruffling his own raven hair. Mari smiled and kissed his cheek. He thought for a moment. He always thought that maybe, if he turned his face just a little to the side of where her lips touched his soft cheek, she would find lust awaiting on his pale, kissable lips. Avery blinked at his thought and cleared his throat, like he always did after a tantalizing thought. It would never happen.
"So? Care to join my sky-viewing on the mountains? I have dango." Mari said, grinning and flashing a pouch tied to her short, black dress. Avery nodded in agreement and they ventured their way to the long staircase leading to the grassy tops of the Hokage faces.
The two best friends sat atop of the cliff and looked out into the silky night, the moon bright and big and the stars flecked out in different directions in gorgeous wonder.
"Dango?" Mari asked, holding out a stick of colored candies toward Avery. He nodded and accepted the sweet treat, taking one into his mouth. There was silence for a few minutes, a calm, sweet silence of thought and company. Mari was the first to break it.
"So what's your opinion on sex before marriage?" She asked, looking at Avery. His face held a startled look. "Sorry, it's been in my head for a while… Someone at the ramen shop brought it up and it had me thinking."
Dirty thoughts flooded Avery's mind. Mari laying on the beach in a skimpy bikini. Mari in the ocean waters with nothing on, beckoning Avery over in lusty tones and moans. Mari in his bed, sweaty and warm with satisfaction. Mari on top. Mari on bottom. Her soft lips baring his saliva. Mari, Mari, Mari…
Avery's nose came close to a nosebleed, but he quickly shook the thoughts away with more dango.
This was going to be a long night…
Avery prayed he had enough blood to last him that long.
