Mini 1: A Dip In the Dark

A deep sigh left Siren's lips as she trudged through the streets, her muscles aching and her bones tired from all the work she did. It had been a long day at the Animal Rescue House, one of the tougher ones that she had to endure considering the fact that they had to take all the dogs, and I mean ALL the dogs, for a walk. That activity, by itself, was stressful enough since there were well over 30 canines at the Rescue House; the fact that 10 of those dogs, a good half of them pitbulls, lost their tempers and caused a ruckus within the pack. This fiasco lead to a full hour of the other Rescue House employees working together to get everything back in order.

"At least it's Friday and I don't have to do anything tomorrow. I can sleep in and get my energy back," Siren said to herself, breathing in the salty air of the ocean as she passed it by.

There was a cool breeze coming in from the water that night, rustling her forest green hair and cooling her ebony skin. Siren switched her gaze from the ground to the deep blue water, the surface glistening from the light of the beautiful and pale moon. She smiled as she stopped walking, basking in the serene peace of the island that was her home.

"...Hmm? Who's out in the water at this time of night?" she asked softly when she spotted a figure wading back and forth in the water, their body deep enough in the water that when the waves came in, it washed over their chest, but other than that, the water lapped at their waist line.

Very curious now, Siren walked a little closer, taking a step onto the sandy surface to get a better look. Now the person was coming into focus, his stature tall and proud as his silver hair seemed to shine from the light of the moon and his pale, creamy skin glistened from the water. It was Riku Yukato; Siren cocked her head to the side, quite surprised to see the handsome boy swimming at 10 o'clock at night.

"What is he doing? He's going to catch a cold," she mused to herself, looking around for any other late night patrons that decided to take a dip as well, "And he's alone."

Turning her head slightly to the left, she saw a pile of clothes a little closer to the shoreline and she walked over to inspect it. A moment later, a burning blush spread to her cheeks when she realized that they were Riku's clothes, underwear included.

"And to add to the whole 'this is weird' thing, he's skinny dipping," she stated quietly, cupping her hands around her mouth, "Riku! Riku, what are you doing out there?"

She waited for an answer, but Riku didn't even turn around to acknowledge her presence let alone answer her question. Siren was beginning to wonder why she was worried so much about him, he was a big boy and could take care of himself. After all, he was the most respected boy at their high school, everybody loved him and wanted to be around him because of the fact that he was an independent boy, strong and caring. Siren sort of had a relationship with him; they were classmates in three different periods and in everyone, he chose her to sit next to and talk to, probably because she was the least fangirlish out of the rest of the class. Siren just saw him as a very handsome person with a kind heart and a strong disposition.

So...why did she feel worried about him?

Probably it was the way he looked up at the sky, as if he were longing for something. Maybe it was because his eyes seemed sad and dull, his brow furrowed together as he stared at the moon; it was as if he were asking a question and getting no answer, this fact making his heart hurt.

"Riku!" Siren called again only to be ignored again, "Ri-Ah, forget it."

She mumbled a few choice words under her breath as she began undressing, taking off her denim shorts and black baby tee that was the Rescue House's uniform which left her in her matching green bra and pantie set with little white dogs on them.

...So she loved dogs, is that a crime?

Padding a little closer to the water's edge, Siren dipped her toe in to test the temperature. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't pleasantly warm either and she sighed in defeat. She was going to be cold after this, but she wanted to make sure that Riku was alright; if he was having thoughts of suicide, she didn't want to be the last one to see him alive. So, taking a deep breath, she slipped into the water, wading her way over to where the silver-headed male stood firmly. Since he was a good head taller than her, the waves came up a little higher, right at her abdomen and still rising.

"Riku? Hey, Riku," she called to the quiet male and still getting no answer as she stopped right behind him, "Hey...answer me!"

She splashed water on his back, finally getting a reaction out of him as he whirled around from the sudden attack, his eyes widening when he saw her.

"...Siren?" he asked in a soft voice, his eyes curious, "What are you doing out here?"

She would have answered that question had Riku not rendered her completely speechless with just his appearance. Now that she was closer, she could see every line and dip of his firm muscles, every ripple as he moved. She could see the way his hair caught the shine from the moon and framed his angelic face just perfectly, his teal colored eyes seeming to change color every few seconds or so.

"Siren, are you alright?" his voiced asked her, genuine concern evident.

The girl snapped herself out of the trance she was put under and shook her head, "I should be asking you the same question, sir, along with the one you asked me before. What are you doing out here at 10 o'clock at night? You'll catch a cold."

"No I won't."

Siren's eye twitched at his dismissive answer, "Yes you will."

"I haven't caught a cold before, so what's going to make me catch a cold now?" Riku shot back, though it wasn't condescending or rude, it was just a genuine question.

"Um, one, a decrease in temperature and two, do you do this often?"

"Quite often," was the silvertte's response, an innocent look on his features.

Siren licked her lips, "...Naked?"

Riku merely looked at her, an amused smile on his face when he noticed her cheeks getting a light pink tinge.

"Okay...why?" Siren pressed.

He regarded her for a moment before he looked up at the sky again, his eyes transfixed on the brightest orb in the cosmos that evening. There was a faraway look in his glistening orbs, that same questioning look followed by the pained one when he received no answer to said question. Siren waded a little closer to him, trying to get his attention.

"Riku?"

"Are you afraid of the dark, Siren?"

She blinked, "Um...what?"

He turned to her, his eyes growing serious yet gentle, "Does the dark scare you?"

Siren was speechless for a moment, looking to the right then the left as she tried to figure out what it was that Riku was getting at. The young man waited patiently, watching every little move she made with his intense teal eyes.

"The dark huh? Well...no, not really," she finally answered, bracing herself as a wave hit her in her stomach and almost sent her back, "Truth be told, I kind of like the dark."

Riku gasped silently, looking at her face in wonder as his eyes took on a brighter light, something that Siren didn't miss but also didn't bring to attention.

"You...You like the dark?" he pressed further, turning his body to face her.

"Yeah, I mean, it's...like..."

"Comforting?"

Siren snapped her fingers, "Yes! That's exactly it! I remember when I was younger, my dad and I had built a little treehouse in the forest right behind my house. He had installed a little hammock just outside of the treehouse and late at night, when everyone was sleeping, I would sneak out of my room and spend the night in that hammock, looking up at the sky...it was like sleeping on air, covered in the dark and just...being peaceful."

Siren lost herself in the memory, unaware of the boy moving closer to her until she was hit by a rather large and powerful wave. She stumbled back and would have fallen in had it not been for Riku who quickly grabbed hold of her wrist and yanked her forward. The wave continued on its path, crashing to the shoreline and then receding back to repeat the process. Siren looked behind her and then to the front of her, a nervous giggle leaving her lips when she realized how close the two of them were now.

"Um, thanks Riku. I would have been drenched if you haven't-"

All thought process and verbal abilities were cut off a moment later, Siren gasping when she felt warm, soft lips press against her own. The kiss was feverish, almost desperate, Riku frantically working to map out every corner of her mouth before she could push him away. He enhanced his efforts by wrapping her up in his strong arms, keeping her flushed against his toned torso. Siren didn't know what to do so she opted for simply staying still and allowing for the boy to continue his action; she didn't push him away nor did she kiss him back. After about a minute, Riku finally realized that she wasn't reciprocating and pulled his lips away from hers. He looked down at her, noticing the shocked expression on her pretty ebony face and gently released her, taking two steps back against the water.

"You didn't kiss me back," he whispered, shaking his head as Siren's mouth began moving, no words able to come out, "It's okay. I shouldn't have...I don't know what..."

He clenched his fists tightly and stared down at the deep blue water, seeing his own reflection mirrored back to him. His hair hung low in his eyes and his cheeks were flushed red from a combination of passion and mortification. He had shown love to Siren and she didn't respond; he was so embarrassed that he allowed himself to lose control like that.

"I'm sorry, Siren," he finished, turning back around to face the moon, head hung in shame.

Said girl was finally able to get the gears in her head to stop jamming up and was able to think a coherent thought. And that coherent thought told her to move forward, to comfort him, to tell him, without words, that it was alright. He didn't need to apologize. Riku started when he felt small hands on his body, one resting on his left shoulder and the other lightly gripping his right bicep. A shiver ran up and down his spine when soft lips placed feather light kisses along his right shoulder, Siren expertly nipping his sensitive flesh to coax a reaction out of him. He jerked slightly and held back a groan when she suddenly leaned up and nipped his ear, no longer able to ignore her any more.

So he turned around and was met with kind golden eyes, Siren facing him with an encouraging smile. He returned the gesture before wrapping her in his arms again, gentler this time for he was certain, for reasons that he couldn't explain, that she wouldn't run or push him away. Moving slower, he leaned down and captured her lips in his again, taking sweet time to fully memorize the layout of her mouth, every crease and crevice, every delicious dip; he wanted to know all of it, to remember it. This beautiful creature was his, she understood him and accepted him and...loved him?

"Siren..." he whispered, pulling back from her and leaning his forehead against hers.

She looked at him in a slight daze though you could see the question in her eyes. He bit his lip and gazed straight into her eyes.

"I'm not...I'm not a playboy," he stated, gripping her hips tighter, "I don't play with a girls feelings."

Siren blinked then she smiled as she stepped closer, feeling his naked body against hers, "I know that."

Then, he was kissing her again, softly, lovingly...so lovingly. Another shiver racked his body when her tiny hands began to roam over the plains of his torso, his abdomen, his broad shoulders and muscled back. Her thumbs hooked in the hollows of his hips, gently caressing his skin and making him hotter than he's ever been before. He nibbled on her bottom lip, wanting to return the favor. He pulled away from her mouth, giving her barely a second to catch her breath before he was attacking her slender neck. Riku successfully coaxed a small moan out of his lover, laying open mouthed kisses along her throat, letting his teeth and tongue tease the junction of her shoulder and neck. Siren hung on to him fiercely, feeling that if she let go, she would sink into the blue water and never see him again. She only opened her eyes when she felt Riku lift her up in his strong arms and carry her back to shore where he immediately deposited her on the soft sands of the beach, his body hovering over hers.

"Siren," he breathed, brushing some of her green hair out of her face, "...I love you, Siren."

Her heart almost melted at the shy, sweet way he confessed to her right in the middle of their passionate throws. She responded to him by leaning up and lightly, gently, kissing his lips; it was a feather light touch that answered his question and also sent the enamored young man into another fit of intimacy, only this time, he didn't stop. The rest of Siren's clothes were torn away from her body, exposing her vulnerability to Riku and the young man caring for her in a way that only he knew how, by instinct.

You could say they were soulmates waiting to be brought together by the power of destiny and fate or maybe it was just pure luck that they found each other, the perfect half to their whole. But whatever it was, they were together and in love, Riku proving his feelings upon Siren's body over and over again, feeling the heat engulf him as he claimed her and relishing in the sweet sound of her voice calling his name repeatedly into the night, followed by those four simple and yet powerful words.

I love you, too.

A dip in the dark made sweet.
