100 Kisses
Chapter 1. Spin The Bottle, Truth Or Dare
"Good job today everybody!" An excited 30-year-old woman chirped loudly out to her employees.
The five people around her, four pretty girls and one handsome boy, all looked up at her with exhausted eyes and sighed, but accomplished smiles shown on their faces.
The workers at Maid Latte had just finished tending to one of the biggest events in several months to occur at the cafe. A huge birthday party had been celebrated there, a present from a kind boy whose girlfriend frequented the place and loved it a great deal. The preparations for the party had been hectic, however, since he had only asked them a few hours in advance, but after much rushing around and cooperation, they had made it happen. In the end, the delighted smiles and squeals of the birthday girl had made all the chaos seem worth it.
Now, the five maids and one chef were all sitting around one of the bigger tables in the restaurant; they had just closed and were just beginning to relish the peace and quiet and take a short break.
"Oh my gosh, that was crazy." Honoka yawned, stretching her arms above her head.
"Tell me about it! I wish that guy had shown up a few hours earlier to warn us at least instead of just running in and declaring he needed us to throw a party out of the blue!" Erika agreed, slumping forward onto the table.
"But at least we were able to manage." Subaru put in. "I just wonder what we're going to do with all these leftover sweets." She nodded toward the table to their right which was plated with untouched cakes and treats.
"Well I think we all know the answer to that!" Satsuki chirped, jumping up from her seat immediately. "Let's celebrate on a job well done!" She declared, pumping her fist into the air.
"Yeah!" The other maids joined together in a cheer; having been running around all that day like headless chickens, none of them had gotten the chance to eat much.
"Okay then!" Satsuki beamed. "Misa-chan, Usui-kun, make sure you have some too!"
The only two who had yet to speak looked up when their manager addressed them.
Usui, being the only chef present on such short notice, had somehow managed to miraculously bake every single sweet in record timing and without breaking a sweat, earning a new awed respect from his co-workers.
Misaki, on the other hand, looked a little weary; she had had to deal with a huge group of people, consisting partially of young children, who liked nothing more than knocking vases over and breaking glasses. She had somehow managed to walk out of with only a bleeding finger at the time, but the toll it took on her now physically was enough to make a workhorse faint.
"Misa-chan sure worked hard today." Usui commended her as he glided over to stand behind her chair, resting his chin on her head.
"Wah!" She jumped. "G-Get off of me, you perverted outer space alien!" She cried, spinning around to bat at his face. Usui stepped back smoothly to avoid her attack and playfully began batting her back with his hands.
"Ah~ Misa-chan's like a kitten." He cooed in his teasing monotone.
"Why you-!" Misaki stood from her chair and dropped her arms to her side, spinning on her heel to face away from him.
"Misa-chan's so cute." He said airily into her ear.
"GET AWAY FROME ME!" She shrieked.
The other girls giggled as they watched the spectacle, the employees sharing knowing glances while the manager seemed to grow wings and flying to a pink, flower-filled heaven within her own imagination. After a few more moments of bickering and laughter, the six of them gathered around the table again and began picking at the leftover cupcakes.
"Wow! Usui-san, these are so great!"
"Yeah! This is the first time I've tried your cooking, but it's amazing!"
"Did you have culinary training?"
As Erika, Honoka and Subaru fawned over the boy's superior cooking abilities, Satsuki had temporarily vanished and Misaki stood and pushed away form the table unnoticed. The manager came back a moment later with an empty bottle and took her seat.
"Hey, Misa-chan! Why are you cleaning again already? You should relax a little more! We can do that later!"
The Seika High president had begun to tidy up the messy cafe.
"No I'm not that hungry." She reassured. "Plus, I'd like to just clean up this area a little more. Those kids from before were totally insane." As she busied herself with cleaning the table and repositioning the chairs, Satsuki sighed before she shrugged, knowing that the girl would not rest until she had completed what she had set her mind to.
"Alrighty then, who's in for a game of Spin the Bottle?" Instant agreement rose up from the girls who eagerly shuffled closer to the table as Satsuki placed the bottle on its side in the center. "Usui-san?" She asked, flicking her eyes meaningfully behind him to where Misaki stood, cleaning. The boy smirked as he caught her intended glance and his emerald eyes flickered with an eagerness for a challenge. The other three girls picked up on what was silently being stated and they all gave determined nods.
"Okay, I'll join in." He nodded, leaning forward.
Unaware of the secret plot that was going on behind her, Misaki managed to finish cleaning the tables and decided to head over to the kitchen and start on dishes. She listened amusedly as her friends began spinning the bottle, asking truth or dare to whomever it landed on. Honoka dared Erika to eat as many cupcakes as she could within a minute, leaving the redhead moaning and the blonde apologizing playfully. When Subaru answered 'truth' none were surprised when Satsuki asked her about her love life; in fact, every round when Satsuki received truth as an answer, she asked about their love life.
Misaki's heart started to beat a little faster when she heard her manager spin the bottle once more and exclaim, "Finally! Usui-san! You haven't had much action yet have you? Truth or dare?"
Honoka, Erika and Subaru all leaned in closer, very interested now, and Misaki did not realize that her hands had stopped moving and her shoulders stiffened as she waited for the others to hear the boy's reply. She was unaware of the winking faces her co-workers gave to her handsome classmate as a large smirk spread across his face. After a drawn out period of time, in which Misaki forgot how to breathe, he finally gave them his answer.
"Dare." He decided. The girls around the table smiled while the girl at the sink found herself gulping for some reason or another.
"Hehehe a wise choice." The blue-haired woman leaned in intently. "Then Usui-san, here is your challenge: I dare you to give any person here one hundred kisses." She then sat back, smugly satisfied with herself. The girls around her cooed and giggled, trying to cover their mouths to muffle it.
"Oooh! Manager, that was a great one!" Erika laughed.
"I always knew you were into that kind of stuff but..." Subaru pushed her glasses up onto her nose, hiding her amused smile.
"Oh I do wonder who he's going to pick." Honoka whispered deviously.
Meanwhile, Misaki had turned beat red and gone stiff as a statue as the other girls all turned to look over at her. She tried her best to pretend she had heard nothing and picked up the plate she had been washing again. But her trembling hands let it slip from her grip and she hissed as it grazed her cut finger.
"Hm. One hundred kisses, huh?" Usui mused, snickering. "You really are something else, Manager."
"I know I am." The woman sniffed smugly, flipping her short hair over her shoulder. "Oh, but you don't have to give all one hundred at once, you know. Just make sure you don't lose track or you have to start all over again!"
"So who's it gonna be?" Honoka asked as if everyone did not already know the answer.
"U-Um!" Misaki's voice came from the kitchen not too far away and the five turned around to look at her. "M-Manager I'm going to head home now okay? I'm just gonna go change." She told them as she took a step toward the changing room.
"Hold on!" Erika called out. "Would you like to play a round of Spin the Bottle?"
"That's right." Subaru caught on quickly and joined in. "At least just play one round. Come on, really quickly."
All faces turned expectantly up to the black-haired girl; she made absolutely sure not to look at the handsomest of those faces.
"Alright fine. But really quickly." She gave in, taking the vacant seat in between Subaru and Usui, but scooting nonchalantly away from him. Erika spun the bottle and twelve eyes fixed on it intently. Gradually, it slowed, but appeared it would stop prematurely. Noticing this, Honoka coughed exaggeratedly and nudged the table with her knee; the bottle shifted a little more and finally came to a clear stop on Misaki.
The Student Council president bowed her head as though she had been struck from behind with a hammer. The she lifted her chin determinedly and met Erika's eyes with a hard stare, as though preparing to accept her fate on the day of judgement.
"Oh~kay, Misa-chan," the redhead straightened up. Misaki squared her shoulders in return. "Truth or dare?"
Misaki had already contemplated her answer to this: If I say 'dare', she'll just dare me to do whatever Usui says, so...
"Truth." She replied steadily. Subaru sighed, Honoka clicked her tongue in annoyance and Satsuki frowned, her moe flowers drooping slightly. However, Erika had this response planned out as well.
"Okay then." She shrugged. "Then is it true that you will never turn down a challenge?" She asked.
There was a brief moment of silence as confusion crossed each person's face aside from the face of the asker.
"Of course. I'll fulfill any challenge within reason to the best of my abilities." Though the rest of them were still puzzled, Erika seemed quite content with the answer and nodded once.
"Okay then. You've played your round. Scurry on home, then." She dismissively waved her hand. Misaki eyed her co-workers suspiciously as she cautiously stood and pushed out her chair.
"Okay then," she said in a low voice. "Well then I'm going to go change and then I'll be off. Good night." She gave a small bow before walking away toward the changing room. The four remaining girls watched her go until she was out of sight, before the Satsuki exploded.
"Erika-chan! What kind of question was that?" She wailed. "You could have asked her about her true feelings, or if she has a crush o-or if she-"
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, Manager." Usui chimed in, smiling. "I think I know exactly where this is going." He said, sharing a devious look with his ex-volleyball partner.
"You do?" Satsuki scudded in closer. "What? What?"
"If I do remember correctly, before mentioning my dare of one hundred kisses, Manager said 'Usui-san here is your challenge', am I right?" His words sunk in and before long the devious smirk spread to all five faces.
"And," Honoka added quietly, just as the door to the changing room re-opened and Misaki stepped out in her Seika uniform. "You never told us who it was that would be getting those hundred kisses."
"That I didn't." He chortled, standing up. "Well then, I'll be on my way as well, everyone. Good night." As the girls wished him the same, he walked over to Misaki who quickly tried to step away from him. However Usui easily reached out and wrapped his arms around her stomach, pulling her back in.
"U-Usui? What are you doing? G-Get off of me, you pervert!" She snapped, blushing furiously and trying to pry herself out of his grip. Off to the side, Satsuki fainted with a nosebleed and Subaru just barely caught their unconscious manager.
"Sorry," Usui teased. "I just couldn't resist." She pushed him away but he grabbed both of her wrists firmly. "Oh, and by the way, just so we're all clear on this matter..." the other maids watched as he pulled Misaki in to him and she squeaked. He held her in place as she struggled but he managed to reveal her injured finger and quickly leaned down to kiss it.
"Wah-?" she yelped but he covered her mouth with his palm.
"That is the answer to what you wanted to know." He winked slyly and the girls all giggled and nodded in approval. "Now, come on then, Misa-chan. I'll walk you home." He pulled her along, his hand still muffling her protests as his other arm snaked around her stomach. When they got outside of the cafe, he released her as she shoved him with great effort.
"You pervert!" She huffed. "Just what do you think you're-"
"Well then good night, Prez. I'll see you tomorrow at my place." He declared, beginning to walk away.
"W-What? Wait, you moron!" She blurted. "Hold on!" She reached forward and grabbed his sleeve. "What did you mean by what you just said back there? And what do you mean 'see you tomorrow at your place'? Have you got something wrong with your brain?"
"Well tomorrow's Saturday anyway. Plus, I know Prez will come over." He smirked.
"As if." She snorted. Then a pink tint crept across her cheeks. "Listen," she mumbled. "I know we're kind of...you know...we're..."
"We're what, Ayuzawa?" he prompted, already knowing full-well what she wanted to say.
"S-Shut up! I was getting to that!" she snapped before continuing slowly. "I know that we're...dating right now and-"
"Awww how cute, Ayuzawa's blushiiing." He sang.
"I'M LEAVING." She briskly began to walk away but he stopped her.
"Okay, I'm sorry I'll stop." He chuckled.
"Why you..."
"I promise."
"Fine." She sighed. "I know we're dating and everything but...can you not...do those kinds of things...around other people?" She finally forced the request out of her mouth. Usui blinked once before his eyes softened.
"I understand." He then caught her in his arms again and she gasped softly. "That's why you should come over tomorrow. So we can do those kinds of things alone."
"Let go of me." She mumbled, slipping out of his embrace.
"You'll come, won't you?"
"Shut up." She bowed her head. "I...I might."
"Good, then." He smiled. "Well then I'll see you tomorrow, Ayuzawa." He said as he turned and began heading off down the sidewalk, opposite of her direction.
"You jerk." She growled.
"What was that?" He turned back to look at her when she whipped around to face him, her fists clenched at her sides.
"You jerk!" she screeched. "Didn't you just say you were going to walk me home?" Her cheeks were cherry red, even in the fading sunlight.
Usui's eyes widened before he smiled.
"Of course. I'm such an idiot." He walked back to her.
"You bet you are." She snorted.
Usui took one of her hands and gently loosened her fist until he could slip his fingers in between hers.
The two students began walking together side by side, the evening's events and tomorrow's possibilities on both of their minds.
