Blue stumbled into her apartment that wasn't quite new, but wasn't old either, since it had been about two months since she moved out on her own. Tsume trailed behind her, his fingers entwined with hers, until he forced her against the wall, not violently, but roughly.

Blue could feel her heart racing in her chest. It was irritating to her that, while her blood ran hot with Tsume, she couldn't shake the thought that she almost wished it had been someone else.

"So, are we gonna quit on this one, too?" Tsume asked, letting his hands trail down Blue's sides. "If we aren't going to go all the way this time, you should let me know so I don't drive myself insane."

"I don't think I'll be able to stop this time," Blue sighed, kissing Tsume lightly on the lips, nipping playfully at his bottom lip. Blue let her curves fill themselves against Tsume's body as he deepened their kiss, his hand coming to a stop on her hip as he rolled his thumb against the bit of bone that could just barely be felt.

Blue moaned lightly as her skin erupted with goosebumps, and she felt Tsume harden even more against her. She ran her hands over Tsume's shoulders and let her fingers trail against the back of his neck. She could feel the shivers run down his body as he moved his lips from her and nibbled slightly on her chin, then down to the crook between her neck and the beginning of her shoulder, almost massaging her soft flesh between his teeth and tongue.

"Tsume," Blue whimpered. "I'm really going to get you back if you keep this up."

Somehow they had made it down the hallway to Blue's bedroom. Blue shifted her hand around behind her back before finding the doorknob and turning it, stumbling backwards a little bit.

"You're so traditional it's cute," Tsume muttered as he fiddled with the buttons on Blue's shirt.

Blue slid her hands up the front of Tsume's shirt, her fingers splayed across the solidness of his stomach and eventually his chest, the folded cloth of his shirt spilling around her forearms as she lifted his t-shirt over his head.

"Sorry," Blue sighed, wrapping her arms around Tsume's shoulders again. "I don't want to ruin the couch. Just got it a few months ago."

Tsume pushed Blue's unbuttoned shirt down her shoulders and off her arms, just letting it fall to the floor of her fairly clean bedroom. Blue shivered slightly at Tsume's touch as his fingers trailed up and down her arms lightly. She then realized that she was only wearing a bra and jeans and her cheeks flushed.

Tsume laughed. "Gosh, are you really that nervous?"

Blue shook her head. "No. You've just never seen my stomach before."

Tsume looked down at Blue's fairly flat stomach, then looked back up at her face.

"Tada! I have seen your stomach now." Tsume kissed Blue quickly on the cheek and tackled her onto the bed before she could protest.

"Lame!" Blue laughed as Tsume looked down at her.

"You can't seriously be trying to be all serious now," said Tsume with a shake of his head. "If it's because it's not perfectly flat, that's fine." He kissed her gently.

Blue simply sighed and succumbed to his kisses. She couldn't quite shake the butterflies in her stomach, but it wasn't like it mattered. Blue let her arms slide around Tsume, her hands splayed across his back, holding him as close to her as she could without disrupting their current activity. She'd finally found someone who provided the warmth that she needed. Now was not the time to be fretting.

Miles away a young man sitting at a small table in a coffee shop sneezed suddenly.

"Are you alright, Hige?" asked a blond girl sitting to his right.

Hige nodded."Yeah, it must be my allergies." He sniffed and sipped his coffee.

The girl took a small drink of her small smoothie, low sugar, low fat, no whipped cream. She was a little dainty for Hige's tastes, but Christie couldn't help but set him up with girl after girl.

'You're an awesome guy who's single!' she said energetically. 'Even if it didn't work for us, you're bound to find that special girl some day!'

Hige sighed. Not that he didn't appreciate Christie's efforts. She really was a sweet girl and all, but none of the girls he'd been set up with were really his type.

Raina was last weeks date. Tall, dark hair and eyes, very pretty. But way too timid, even after they'd gotten to know each other.

Allyson was his date for this week and she reminded him a terrible amount of Christie, except her eyes were brown, not green and her hair was a darker blond. Not to mention Allyson constantly worried about fat and sugar intake.

"I can't stand my own allergies," sighed Allyson. Hige repressed a "well, what are you not allergic to?" comment. She was entirely too sensitive.

"It must be bothersome being allergic to pretty much anything with fur," said Hige.

Allyson nodded. "Yeah. I had to get rid of this really nice doll my uncle got me in Africa while he was there. It had rabbit fur, so I broke out in hives and everything."

Hige raised his eyebrows and listened to Allyson talk while he drifted away in thought. Nothing seemed to work out with girls lately. It wasn't as if he didn't find these girls that Christie was trying to hook him up with attractive. They were all definitely very good looking. They just weren't the quirky Blue he was used to.

Hige shook his head. No, he didn't need to think about Blue while he was on a date. He couldn't compare every girl he saw to her, although it was tempting. It had just gotten to the point where he almost didn't even find most girls appealing any more. Not to mention Blue had almost completely dropped contact with him since she'd started dating Tsume.

Hige felt his stomach clench. Sure, Tsume seemed nice enough, but he just gave off the vibe of a player almost. Then again, he did break up with Blue, but he didn't want her dating someone he was suspicious of! He really did still care for her.

"Dang, Hige, you look lost in thought," said Allyson, poking him lightly on the shoulder.

Hige shook his head. "Sorry, stuff has just been a little odd lately."

Allyson nodded. "Well, hey, it's getting somewhat late. I'll call you later if that's okay?"

"Yeah, that would be fine." Hige stood up with Allyson. "I should be heading home, too. Work tomorrow."

"You work here, don't you?"

"Yeah," Hige beamed. "I'm the manager, so it's hard to get days off sometimes."

Allyson smiled and hitched her purse higher up on her shoulder. "Well, I have school tomorrow, so I won't be able to be on the phone late."

Hige nodded and held open the door for Allyson as she walked out. "See you later, Hige!"

Hige sighed and let the door close on it's own.

"Dang, Hige, you've been with a lot of girl's lately," said Kiba, the assistant manager.

Hige sat down. "Not really, only two."

"Since you've broken up with Blue, it's been quite a few." Kiba sat down at the table across from him. "I mean, maybe you should call it quits with chicks for a while."

Hige sighed. "Yeah, maybe you're right. I mean, last time I kinda just said screw it and I found Blue."

"That's not exactly what I meant, but sure," Kiba said with an embarrassed grin.

Hige felt his stomach clench and his face flush and pale at the same time. "You don't mean I should try guys, do you, Kiba?"

Kiba shrugged. "It's worth a shot. I mean, it worked for me in the end." He ran a few fingers through his thin black hair that it was obvious he worked hard to make look so nice. "Besides, who knows how a guy works better than another guy."

"That's a weird view on it, Kiba." Hige shook his head, hoping to hide his blushing.

"But it's true."

Hige sighed and put his face in his hands, pressing his palms against his eyes until he saw spots. This wouldn't have been so weird. He knew that Kiba was bi and had been avoiding girls like the plague, especially since his girlfriend, Cheza, had died from leukemia, but what Kiba was suggesting was just weird! At least it seemed so at first.

"Ok," said Hige looking up at Kiba. "Maybe you're kinda right about that, but it still doesn't mean that I like guys."

Kiba shrugged. "Right, well you can't say you don't. I'm not dumb."

Hige blushed even more. This was dumb, he was not gay!

"Right, well I gotta go home," Hige stood up, avoiding Kiba's eyes.

"Yeah, you should go home, I gotta close." Kiba shrugged and gave a small wave as Hige walked out of the coffee shop as quickly as he could.

He wanted to just look up at the sky and shout that he wasn't gay to whatever god was up there and that they needed to cut him some slack, but Kiba's words just rang in his head, and the longer he thought about them, the more he just wasn't sure any more.
