Ryuuji's POV
8:30pm
I don't what happened to get us here but me and even more surprisingly Taiga had found ourselves locked together, our bodies colliding together and our mouths battling each other, funnily enough it was also on my futon. My mind was racing with questions, one was definitely how we ended up like this, panting after every time we break the kiss then realizing we can't look each other in the eyes yet so we go right back to kissing, at this point it seems like the easiest option for both of us. But before we get to far into this let me take you back a bit to tell you how exactly we kinda ended up.
Ryuuji thinks back
9:00am Saturday
Taiga had only just woken up from her slumber in my room, she had fallen asleep last night on the tatami mats so I decided it was best she slept on the futon so she didn't wake up in pain. I had picked her up careful not to wake her and placed her on my rolled out futon, laying the covers over her and then getting my own stuff to sleep in the living room, when I saw her sleeping figure it kept reminding me of the first time I had to wake her, looking so much like a doll that it was hard to believe she wasn't.
Getting back to things I was in the kitchen making breakfast, obviously knowing she would be hungry when she woke, which not surprisingly she was, her face looked as if she had been sleeping for years and her clothes were a tad ruffled by the way she slept and by tad I mean her shirt had rolled up and was almost showing something which I did not ask to see. Before I had time to tell her she had already noticed, her face slowly getting more contrasted in colour and her legs sprinting off to go fix herself. She really was a clutz so I couldn't help but laugh slightly at her embarrassment. "Taiga, I'm making pancakes so hurry up because they'll be done soon!
I shouted down the hall to the bathroom. "Don't rush me you idiot!" She shouted back, typical Taiga I mean what else should I have expected? Once I had plated up and set everything on the table, Taiga came waltzing in, in a very nice dress and a smile on her face. "What's gotten into you lately?" I asked quite curious of why she was really happy. "Oh nothing, can I not be happy?" She shot back, ouch that was harsh, I was just wondering. "You can be as happy as you want, its just strange you don't have a reason for it
I said smiling happily at her, watching her face scrunch into confusion then back to the little happy one I saw not that long ago, noticing now it actually made her look kinda cute, if she did it more often then anyone could be hers! Wait a second, did I really just think that, about Taiga as well, I think I might be ill! "Any plans for today or is it another lets sits around play video games and wait for me to cook food?" I asked wondering if she was going to be doing anything, knowing I wasn't any ways.
"Just another usual day, nothing to do so I'll just stay with you." She said, concentrating on her hands, getting fiddly which was something I had only seen a few times and that's when she needed me to help her with Kitamura. "Is something up Taiga, you seem awfully odd today." I questioned, noticing her abnormal behaviour. "N-n-no nothing's wrong, not at all!" She started waving her hands frantically in front of her face. Somehow I knew this day was going to be long.
Taiga's POV
8:30pm Saturday
Somehow I had never imagined this actually happening, I mean I had weird dreams about this and little fantasies but I never though it would happen, it was only recently that I had realized I had feeling for Ryuuji, it was when he was talking about Minorin and I had noticed that my heart ached and I didn't want him to leave me but yet I felt horrible, I knew in advance that Minorin had liked Ryuuji and probably still does and yet I'm here, doing this with the one she loved well before me.
Every time we had to break of the kissing for air I pulled him right back, one because I really wasn't ready to face all the questions he'd have for me and two I just didn't want it to end, ever. I felt tingly all over and that feeling was brought back widely when Ryuuji was using his hands to cradle my hips, slowly moving his thumbs in circular motions, his hands like bear hands but oh so gentle like a babies hand, his breathing becoming heavy and hard, his hair so soft, like a fluffy pillow or a cloud in the sky. I felt like I was in heaven with his body heat killing me all over, letting me float away in happiness and love. But let me explain what happened from my point of
Taiga's POV
9:30am
I had been trying to avoid eye contact with Ryuuji because I was afraid I'd give things away, after last night my whole world had been changed, the sudden realization, the falling asleep in his house and waking up to the smell of food and the great smile on his face made me more flustered than anything and what made it worse was that it was hard to keep myself from being all embarrassed when he kept asking me questions all the time! His eyes focused on me all the time just made me shade myself from him and his lurking eyes, he had a weird expression on his face and it looked like he was in deep thought. "Want to play video games?"
I asked hoping he would snap out of whatever he was in, but staring at him it was to no avail, he was still locked at looking at me with unreadable eyes. I started waving my hand in front of his face to try and grab his attention. "Ryuuuujjjjiiiiiiiiii!" I said loudly, finally catching his attention, our faces inches apart and I could already feel my cheeks starting to burn up. "Wait uh what, Taiga, what are you doing on my um lap?" He asked looking down at me. I sprung back, "I'm sorry I was trying to get your attention, you seemed a bit day dreamy so I was like yeah.
" I said watching him from the corner of my eye, his face was already heating up with a slight blush and watching him he quickly slid his hand up to twiddle with the hair in the middle of his head, so it covered his face more. "So um to my question before, would you like to play?" I asked pointing to the second controller. "Oh yeah!" He suddenly became himself and very happy in an instant and before we knew it we had been playing games for hours, it was almost 8pm and Ryuuji had to make dinner!
Ryuuji's POV
7:30pm
Right so I've skipped ahead a bit because for the main part all we did was play video games, Taiga was slightly off for a while but returned to her original self in not time! Taiga turned to me and demanded food. "Right what do you want, I went on a big shopping not long ago so I have loads in." I said happily, very proud with all the stuff I got cheap. "TONKATSU!" She shouted enthusiastically. "Fine fine, I'll make tonkatsu but only for tonight, okay?" I said hoping she'd be alright with this agreement. She just nodded, keeping the smile on her face, that smile, I really loved seeing it.
Standing up I went to the kitchen and went about my business, getting things cooking, chopping up, quickly cleaning some dishes on the way and plating everything up, it was around about 8-ish when I had everything ready and sat on the table, Taiga dug in straight away, quickly saying thank you before stuffing her face. She was finished in no time, where as I was only half finished, to my surprise she sat patiently waiting for me to finish before she did anything else, which was certainly odd for Taiga to do so.
When I had finished I had grabbed the plates and quickly washed them before returning to Taiga, in the meanwhile of cleaning them I hadn't noticed that Taiga was standing close behind, so when I spun around and walked forward I didn't know that I was going to bump into Taiga and knock of both on the floor, quickly spinning myself round so she landed on me and I took the impact of the fall. Not noticing I had fallen unconscious from the bang on the back of my head, I woke with a teary eyed Taiga staring down at me from above me, her body on top of me with just her arms holding her up at my sides.
"Hey there." I said with a chuckle. "Ryuuji! You have to stop worrying me like that, I thought you died!" I watched as she forced herself not to cry. "Taiga, you don't have to worry so much, it was just a bump on the head, I'll be fine." I told her, trying to reassure her. This was when the waterfall started, she couldn't seem to hold it in and my only instinct was to sit up and grab her into a hug, I looked over at the clock which said it was 8:20 which meant I hadn't of been out for too long. Taiga, with her face pressed against my chest and tears streaming down her face managed to pull herself together a little and say a few words.
"Ryuuji, I might never ever get a chance to say this again so here goes nothing, I'm in love with you." she made sure her face was hidden the whole time, I knew it took so much guts for Taiga to say that but no, I couldn't respond, I sat there surprised, shocked and confused all at the same time, what was this feeling, why did I like it, did this mean I liked Taiga? I honestly didn't know what to do other than this, which kinda will bring me back to the now.
Taiga's POV
8:30pm
So we here we are, well kinda of, after I had admitted to Ryuuji I honestly couldn't look him in the eye, fear of rejection and loss boiled up inside me and I hated it, that was until I felt a warm thing press up on my chin, lifting my head to meet gazes with Ryuuji, his eyes locked with my lips and suddenly a burst of happiness sprung over me like a rainbow in a sky, our lips collided and I felt the warm pressure of those soft lips against mine, wanting nothing more but to be wrapped in his embrace forever, to never leave this room.
I moved my hands up, slowly stroking my fingers through his hair with wanting, needing to feel his touch just once. I felt his hands grip around my legs and in a split second I was in the air, it felt like I was floating when he walked us through to his room, his futon was still rolled out because I had forgotten to put it away this morning, oops! I felt my back press against something from which I thought was probably the floor, the front of my body having another one pressed against mine, an embrace I haven't felt before. His mouth moved from my mouth to my neck, placing rough kisses everywhere around that area, moving his hands around my body, feeling everything I had to offer, which in fact wasn't much.
Our mouths finally crashed together again, this time Ryuuji was persistent and already was trying to stick his tongue in my mouth, this was the first time in my life this has happened to me but honestly I'm glad its happening with him, this time I allowed him and opened up my mouth to his eager tongue, it quickly finding it's way around my open mouth and rubbing itself on my tongue making my voice moan in a little squeal, I felt his mouth curve into a smile and I nudged him, this was making me relax more and become less nervous.
Ryuuji's POV
8:45pm
I now knew, with all this kissing that had been going on it gave me time to think, think about what I wanted and what I felt and I really knew now, I wanted Taiga, I wanted her presence around me all the time and I wanted to feel her skin, I wanted nothing more than to be with her forever, like the Dragon and the tiger only we could stand equal with each other. I broke the kiss with Taiga, looking her straight in the eyes and breathing in to give me confidence after what just happened.
"Taiga, I am in love with you too." I spoke with a serious tone but making it so I didn't sound scary. Her face was laced with happiness and also a tone of Sadness. I sat up, taking her hands in mine and picking her up with me. "Are you worried about what Kushieda will feel about this?" I asked carefully picking my words. She just nodded looking into my eyes with a slight sadness I wanted to stop, I wanted it to just be happiness. It was now 9:00pm I decided I wanted to get up early tomorrow to get more pork and tidy about but then again, what would Taiga want to do after this little confession that happened. "Taiga, are you wanting to sleep here tonight or will you go home?" I asked so I knew what was happening. "Here, if you don't mind.." She spoke in almost a whisper and I only just caught all of what she said. I let go of her and walked through to Yasuko's room to get her some Pj's and brought them back to her.
"You stay in there and change, I'll change out here." She just nodded and quickly closed my door, I smiled to myself, she probably couldn't produce words yet from the shock of the events that unfolded tonight but I can't blame her, even I was shocked. I was on the last part of changing and that was my top, I had taken off the one I was wearing and now I couldn't find the one I was going to wear, I was now only in boxers because I usually sleep in boxers. Just when I thought I had found it Taiga was finished and slid my door open, her jaw dropping.
"Umm Ryuuji, what are you doing?" She asked kinda scared. "This isn't what it looks like, I can't find the tshirt I picked out a minute ago!" I spoke quickly, kinda embarrassed of my body showing, she just sat and giggled to herself. When she was busy giggling in the corner I quickly found the top lying under the table and put it on, covering the top part of me. "Wait wait, your not putting anything on the bottom part?" Her eyes wide, not taking them off my boxers. "Well I wasn't planning to, do you want me to?" I questioned her.
She just shook her head and walked back into my room, I followed along thinking about what she was doing until I realized she asked me that question because she wants to sleep in the same futon! Wait then why didn't she tell me to put trousers on..? Never mind that, she already wanted to fall asleep in the same futon! While busying myself with thoughts I hadn't noticed Taiga standing in front of me. "Ryuuji, are you alright?" She asked with a confused look on her face. "Everything is fine." I told her with a smile before planting a kiss on her forehead, making her blush with a little smile.
I swiftly lifted her off her feet and placed her down slowly joining her in the process, she cuddled up to me quickly and her head was already resting right in my chest, I put my arms around her body and I felt her breath against my top, she was already fast asleep and looked so much like a doll at the moment. Kissing the top of her head quickly again I slowly let myself fall asleep. Today had been quite a day I must say, lets hope tomorrow is just as eventful!
