"Hey! Big Sis!"

I turn to the sound of my younger cousin, Nanako, calling me. I smile at her.

"Yes?"

"When is Yosuke getting here? I wanna tell him all about our class trip last week before I go to Rina's house."

I bend down to her level. "I think he's coming in about 15 minutes, you just have to be a little more patient."

Nanako frowns a little, which just makes her look more adorable. "But I'll be going soon..."

I ruffle her hair. "Don't worry, if you don't get to tell him now, you can always tell him another night."

After that I sat down on the sofas and watched T.V with Nanako. She wanted to watch her Featherman R show, so I let her... It actually wasn't bad, I wasn't kinda getting into it until...

*DING DONG*

Nanako gets an excited glint in her eye. "Oh! That must be him." She jumps up and sprints to the front door. I lean over to see what was happening . Yosuke was being hounded by Nanako about their years' elementary school trip. I smile when I see them enter the kitchen area

. "... and me and my friend Sae got to go and pet some of the animals in the petting zoo..." Nanako was swinging off his arm and chattering away.

Yosuke was trying his best to keep up, making the appropriate noises at the right bits, you know, Ooo and Ah- ing. After about 10 years when Nanako stopped for breath, I jump in.

"Hey, Hanamura, you're not late, what's happening? The end of life as we know it?"

Yosuke looks at me questioningly. "What do you mean? I'm always on time."

I started counting on my fingers. "Except for school... work... events in town... um.."

"Ok, ok!" He says quickly. "Maybe I'm not always super early. At least I have reasons."

"Like?"

"Teddie."

"Oh... I get ya, where's Teddie tonight?"

He shrugs. "I think he might be with Chie and Yukiko, but I dunno." I laugh.

"Good luck to them."

At that moment my Uncle, Ryotaro Dojima, came down the stairs with car keys in hand.

"Come on Nanako, have you got your bags? We have to go to your friends house now, I have to be in work soon."

Nanako groans a little, but quickly cheers up at the prospect of a sleepover.

"Ok Dad! I'll get my things!" She rushes up the stairs to her room.

Dojima looks to Yosuke standing by the kitchen table and then to me. "So, what are you kids going to be doing while we're gone?"

Yosuke answers. "Oh, just playing Video games and eating pizza, that's all."

Dojima nods. "Ok... " He turns to me. "Sakura, no alcohol, got it?"

I look at him, mortified. "Uncle Dojima! I'm not..."

He points his finger at me. "Promise, young lady."

I sigh. "Yes, officer sir."

"Good."

Thankfully we hear the sound of Nanako running down the stairs with her bag.

"I'm ready." She sings happily. Dojima opens the door and they say goodbye and leave.

When the door closes, I cover my face with my hands. "Oh my God! That was so embarrassing!"

I hear Yosuke chuckle. "Look on the bright side, at least he didn't breathalyse us, or search me for booze."

I groan. "I'm sure he would have given half the chance." I feel him plonk down next to me on the sofa. I uncover my eyes to look at him.

"Right, which first, Food or Games?" I think for a second.

"I'll order pizza, and you look through my games, ok?" He nods, and I go to search for a menu and the phone.

When I order two pizzas (one Hawaiian, one Pepperoni) I come back over and see my game collection lying on the ground.

"I hope you'll clean this up." I say, with a raised eyebrow. He just grunts and keeps digging through the pile. I start to clean his mess up when he pulls a game out.

"Ah ha! Found it!" I look on the cover.

"Oh yeah, I'd forgotten you'd wanted to play 'The Last of us'."

"Hell yeah baby! 10/10 across the board. Too bad I'm broke...just so you know I'll be stealing this for a while."

"No way in hell! You'll lose it." I say sternly. He looks at me dejectedly.

"Aww come on bro! I can't buy it for myself! I'm not like you, and have fifty jobs at once..."

I hold my hands up. "Fine, but you have to give it back, or I'll make your broke ass buy me a new one." He nods, staring at the cover;

"Sure man." He says, but I don't think he was listening to me. Forty minutes later, I hear the door bell ring, and I go pay and collect our pizzas.

"Brosuke! Food's here!" I hear him jump up and come over to the table and sit down.

I put my hands on my hips. "Uh, I am not you maid, get your butt up and collect your own."

"Aww, come on, My hands are sore from that physical work out." I raise an eyebrow.

"After forty minutes?"

"... One very hard working forty minutes." I groan, but I stupidly load his plate up with pizza and set it in front of him.

"Thanks, Mum." He says cheekily and starts eating. I narrow my eyes but say nothing. I sit down to eat opposite him and we chat about school and other people, until he brings up the investigation.

"So, when's the next meeting at June's?" I think for a second and flick strains of my long, curly, grey hair out of my grey eyes.

"Today's Sunday... so I think it's three days from now; Wednesday."

He nods. "Oh, ok... we should have a better chance, you know, since we got Naoto on the team now."

I nod. "Yeah, it's lucky she came along." Yosuke cringes a little.

"You know, I still find it weird to address her as a girl, since she spent so long dressed as a boy."

"She still dresses as a boy though." I point out. He rolls his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, I know, but.. it's just.. weird, knowing she's a chick and all that. She's not very... well femaley."

I frown. "I'm not very 'femaley'. Does that weird you out?"

He shakes his head. "No, no, you still look and dress like a girl... sure you like to roll with the guys a lot, but that makes you kinda cool, in the eyes of other people of course."

I smirk. "Was that a compliment?"

He groans. "No, of course not. Don't insult me, I would never compliment you."

"Thank you Yosuke, you're very kind." I say cheerfully.

He runs his hands through his hair. "I really hate this case sometimes." He says, changing the subject.

I look at him surprised. "Really? Why?"

"I dunno, I think it just gets exhausting after a while. And the worst thing is, I feel like I have all this stress from school and work... and now this crap. I feel I have no way of releasing it.. you know?

"Maybe take up a sport?" I suggest. "Or work less hours at June's or maybe read more books to take your mind of it." I smirk again and say teasingly. "Or.. maybe it's time for Mr Hanamura to get himself a lovely lady."

He looks at me sarcastically. "Yes, it's just as simple as that, right? It's easy for you to say, you are somewhat hot, you could get any guy you want?" He sighs in pretend mournfulness. "But for some reason, the ladies don't appreciate what I have to give."

I roll my eyes. "That's cause all you offer, is a half price packet of crisps, from the June's food court sale."

"Hey, at least it's something!" I roll my eyes.

"Oh, my mistake, I wonder why they are not falling to their knees to be with you.

"I know." He says," And let us not forget, my stunning good looks."

"Don't make me throw up my pizza."

"Why would you? You aren't looking in a mirror."

I lean over and whack him on the head, and he yelps, more in protest than pain.

"Hey!"

"You deserved that, you ass." He was about to reply, but suddenly got a mischievous glint in his eye. I watch him suspiciously as he leans on his elbows.

"So... Sakura... Tell me, do you have anybody fighting for your affections."

"Yes." I lie in a deadpan voice. I decided to fuck with his head for a little while... it works, he looks at me in shock, obviously thinking I would deny it.

"H-huh? Who...?" He stammers, I try not to smirk

"Kou." He almost chocks on a swing of pepsi.

"K-kou?! Kou Ichijo?" I nod, and his eyes widen to saucers."So... are you two..."

"Yep, fuck buddies." He chokes on another drink of pepsi, and it looked like he was turning blue.

I spin the tale even further, "You know what you said earlier about releasing stress." He nods dazedly.

I smile. "He helps with that."

By now Yosuke's mouth was opening and closing like a fish, and I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing.

"Oh my God! Did you really believe me?! Your face was fucking priceless!" I laugh even more as the realisation of my trick dawns on his face.

"Oh dude! I knew there was something fucked up about that... Man.. I almost died, twice. I could do with a drink now.. a strong one." I stop laughing. I think I agreed with him, strangely

My eyes flicker to one of the cupboards behind me and then back to Yosuke.

"Well..." I start, "I do know were Uncle Dojima keeps his stash of whiskey and stuff... do you wanna?"

He looks at me surprised. "Woah, woah, really? But your uncle said..." I dismiss his worries with the wave of my hand.

"Rules were made to be broken man. Besides, He won't be back 'til tomorrow morning, his job keeps him busy. Nothing to worry about." He nods slowly and I go up to the cupboard to get some alcohol. I get two glasses down and pour out the liquid into both. I bring them back to the table, and the bottle too.

Yosuke takes his glass and we raise them both up.

"Bottoms up!" I say, and we both down our drinks in one gulp. I had only taken a sip of whiskey before, then I had burned, now my throat was on fire... I choked and spluttered, and so did Yosuke.

"WOW!" He coughs, "It's got a kick..."

"Yeah..." I say..." Want some more?"

"Yes, please."

I pour another glass for both of us and we downed them again, and then another, and then another. As each glass went down, the burning numbed, and I found pleasure in the alcohol. My mind was getting a little hazy, so I decided enough was enough.

"O-ok, I'm gonna put this stuff away now." I say, and Yosuke looks appalled.

"WHAT?! Don't do that! It's just getting good." I sigh.

"Ok... one more." So we drink one more... and one more more. I eventually manage to get the bottle out of his hands and put it away again.

Both not as gracefully as I had hoped. I stumbled over, giggling stupidly, and Yosuke laughs at my expense.

After we are finished eating we go play some more video games for another two hours. We kept giggling, and hardly made much progress .I look up at the clock, when it strikes 10.00pm... at least I think it's 10.0pm... though the clock looked a little... wobbly.

"It's getting a little late." I note. Yosuke smirks.

"Why you worried? Not finished your homework?" I whack him in the arm causing him to die...again.. in the game.

He blinks stupidly. "Hey!" He slurs. "I-I was almost finished holding the.. the...z-zombies back!"

"You sssssuck anyway... you die by moving two steps! I could beat you in a zombie fight... in...in real life." I laugh drunkily I stick my tongue out at him.

He growls, "I-is that a challenge kid?" I stop laughing and grin.

"Whatever you think, baby..." I wink, and start laughing again.

He growls again and before I know it, I'm wrestling with him on the ground, I shriek and laugh, as he tries to pin me down. But where he is stronger, I'm quicker. I move out of his grasp and quickly flip him onto his back and plop down on his stomach, holding his hands up by his head.

We're both panting from the exercise... but it isn't until a minute later that I realise just how close I am to his face. My hair falls down in curtains, blocking my view, and his view from anything else, but each other.

My breathing calms down a little, but my heart, oddly, was still going at a hundred miles an hour. I really looked into his face, and saw details I had never noticed before. His eyes were brown, I knew this, but I had never realised they were a hazel colour of brown. His skin was tanned a light brown, but I could still see little freckles dot his face. His nose was straight, but not pointy. And his lips were a light peach colour, and for some reason, they held a lot of my attention.

Yosuke was staring at me oddly as well... like he was analysing me, the way I was deciphering him.

Watching his eyes flicker to each of my features on my face...delighted me... but also terrified me to no end. I realised what was happening, and I decided to run.

I chuckle nervously, "Um, ok, Brosuke. I don't think you're as comfy as the sofa, so I'm getting off now." I quickly get off without a word, and head over to the kitchen to get a drink without another word. I could feel his eyes boring holes into my back. I tremble a little as I pour coke into a cup. All I could say was, thank god I was wearing a high necked jumper and jeans, cause I don't know how I felt about him staring at my... chest.

I head back over and see he was sitting a little stiffly on the sofa...

Oh what have I done?

"So, are we going to play more?" I ask casually, not looking into his face.

"Oh.. uh, yeah, I'm game.. for the game. "He replies, just as casually. Before, we had been enjoying the game quite vocally, now we sat in almost complete silence.

It was awkward and uncomfortable, and I didn't have the courage to break it. At one point I accidently touched his hand when I was showing him a button control. It stung like an electric shock, and we both pulled our hands back. I tried not to touch him again after that.

At 11.00pm, he put the controller down. "So... Um, I think it's time for me to go home..."

"Oh, yeah... sure. "I say, still not looking at him .A sudden thought came to me. "Oh, wait, I have to return your CD to you, wait a second, ok?" He nods and I jump up and run upstairs to my room. I liked to keep it well organised, or so I thought, cause when I got to my CD rack, I couldn't find it.

"Dammit." I mutter, as I look through drawers and any kind of hiding place in my room. After about 10 minutes, I give up, and decide to head downstairs and apologise to him. I pull open my door, and smack into something solid. I'm about to land on my ass, when I hand catches my wrist and holds me up, unconsciously, I grab a hold of their T-shirt to keep me balanced. I look up to see Yosuke looking down at me in shock.

"Hey, are you ok, Sakura? Sorry man, I was only coming to see what was taking you so long..."

I blink several times. "Oh.. no, it's fine..." I trail of awkwardly when I look into his face. His expression changes from worry, to one that reminds me of gentle curiosity. I vaguely realise I hadn't let go of his shirt yet, and he hadn't let go of my wrist, but I didn't care, and I don't think he did either.

I could feel his heart beating in his chest, under my hand. I felt like I was in a trance, I knew I should look away, but I couldn't. I felt myself blush under his gaze, my full attention was on him. I could no longer hear my clock tick in the background, it was now muffled and unimportant

Yosuke swallows, but his eyes don't leave my face. I knew I couldn't just stand and just stare at him anymore. I lean up closer so our lips were a mere inch apart. His eyes widen, and I take the plunge.

I stand on my tip toes and bring our lips together in a chaste kiss. I close my eyes, so I don't see his reaction, but enjoy my experiment.

He tastes of whiskey, obviously, but there is a hint of fruitiness that I can't describe, possibly watermelon. I kind of like it.

His lips are frozen at first, but after a minute, I feel them move against mine. Our kiss becomes more passionate, and I boldly run my tongue
along his bottom lip, his next move his to open his mouth a little, and I follow him. He kisses me more deeply, our tongues battled for dominance, locked in a dance. He brings his hands up to my hair and he runs his fingers through my curls and eventually settling on the sides of my face.

I don't know how long we stand there, but eventually, we have to come up for air. We stand in the door way of my bedroom, red faced and panting. Like we had just ran a marathon.

I see him watching me nervously... probably waiting for me to speak first. I lick my lips and give him a small smile.

"Um.. that was...that was... really good." I almost giggle at the look of relief on his face.

"Oh... really? Sweet." He smiles down at me. The more I look at him the more I think, 'Wow, I never realised just how attractive he is.'

I have more experience with this whole situation, so I decide to make the next move. I pull him in further to my room. His face becomes as red as a tomato, and I smile gently at him.

He seems to calm down a little, he even had the courage to take a hold of my waist. I restart our kiss. My mind starts to become hazy, I didn't care where I was, all I could feel was Yosuke, and I felt drunk on the feeling... and possibly the booze clouded my judgement a little.

He breaks our kiss to mumble against my lips. "This is becoming a little... heated.. Are you ok with this?"

I nibble on his bottom lip, and then kiss him before he could protest more. "I know... and I am." I whisper between short kisses. "But don't think about it... don't think about consequences, just let everything go... and concentrate only on me."

"B-but..." I cut him off by pressing my fingers to his lips. I lean over until my lips were less than an inch from his ear.

"You said you wanted to relieve stress..." I whisper, "... So let me help you... and you might help me too..." He doesn't hesitate anymore before pressing his lips against my exposed neck.

I felt him run his hand up my back, lifting my shirt slightly and running his fingers up my bare back and making me shiver slightly. He smirks against my lips and he brings his hand up to the back of my head, where he gently massaged with his fingertips and I sigh in bliss. My arms had encircled his neck and I ran my hand through his hair, letting my nails run so very gently across his scalp. He shivers as well, and I feel triumphant.

He said something against my mouth, but it was muffled. I felt him slams my door shut with his free hand, and I hear the lock click into place. I could only see, hear, smell and think Yosuke, and the things he was making me feel.

The room became dark as the light was flicked off, and I slowly let my instinct take over...

I spent a long time with Yosuke.
