So this came to mind when Itsuki joked about being Mana's lover right after they found out About her past and I just couldn't get the idea out of my head so, I just decided to write it..and well why not post it?.Hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think. :) I don't own anything.


I'll Settle for being The Lover

Pairing:Mana/itsuki

"Okay Kaname. You be the lawful wife. I'll settle with being the lover."

At the time it was only meant as a joke.

Mana…Mana sweet innocent Mana...She was all he could think about. Her smile, her warmth, her light, etched deep within his soul. Every minute, every second. That kiss which had been just a dream haunted him from that moment on. Her soft lips had felt so soft, tasted so sweet. If only this was real. That thought had crossed his mind.

Whenever he saw Mana and Kaname together he felt a pain in his chest so he just sourly looked away. Even more so when they touched. He wanted to be happy for his best friend, he did. He tried so he covered his feeling with those subtle jokes he made. But deep down, he really meant them.

Don't make that face

Obviously Haruna knew. She always has, from the begging known about his true feelings for mana even before he had realized it himself. And he knew he couldn't hide from her what was happening now.

He was only supposed to walk her home and an offer to go into her house wasn't supposed to turn out like this.

He knew that what they were doing was wrong and he knew that after this he would be flooded with guilt and shame. Making love to his best friend's girl was beyond unforgivable. As soon as he realized Haruna was aware he shut her out of his mind. For now this moment would be his alone.

He looked down into her big beautiful eyes, her flushed face her petite body underneath him. He couldn't help but want this. Her perfectly sized chest flushed against him as their lips met time and time again. He couldn't help but submerge himself in this ecstasy. For now, he allowed himself this happiness, just once he would allow himself to forget all else. Her shaky voice calling out his name was like a drug he couldn't get enough of. Her touch an addiction.

"Please, say my name" he wanted to hear hear her, needed to hear, to feel, to know that this was not a dream.

"Naoya" his name upon her lips and that was all it took to shake him out of reality. Right now in this moment she was his and that's all that mattered. The world, the wars, the battle the meaningless killing, Kaname, they did not exist, not in this moment. It was just Mana and him. A world just for the two of them.

The tips of her fingertips pressed hard on his back as they became one. She felt good, and he growled her name. He knew, she could have clawed in pain but she was Mana after all, she didn't want to hurt him. His chest tightened at the thought that she was in pain and he was the cause of it. And yet he couldn't help but feel pride and satisfaction. Mana's innocence was his. Mana was his and he was he first. Not kaname, him.

He gently kissed her cheek and once again their lips met time and time again, their body dancing to a soundless rhythm. The bed creaking each time they met. Her trembling as he brought her over the edge send shivers down his back and only added fuel to the fire. Their bodies growing closer with each second. Afraid that if he put distance between, them shed disappear only for this blissful moment to be nothing but a dream. He looked down at her once more, her lips parted as she panted, her body glistening with the light of the sun which had started to fade. Looking at her, his only thought, she was his.

And really, if this is what it took to be within her embrace, He didn't mind settling for being the lover.
