So, you finally noticed...?

It was a long and tiring day. I was just thankful to have gotten all of my first semester exams out of the way. Has half a year already passed since Aikawa, Nakatomi, and Sawanoguchi joined The Magic Club? "Sawanoguchi..," I mutter softly under my breath as I feel my face turn a slight red at the mere thought of her. As I near the clubroom I hear a familiar voice. "Takakura-sempai!!," I heard Sawanoguchi shout. "Oh! Sawano--," I got cut off just as Sawanoguchi runs straight into me. Without thinking I automatically embrace her for a split second as we both end up tumbling to the floor.

I turned a deep crimson red, wishing these little moments would last forever. Quickly we both jumped up and did a deep bow. "Oh Takakura-sempai.. I'm so sorry I just didn't wanna be late and I guess I was running to fast to get here and.. Ok I forgot what I was gonna say.. But I truly am sorry.. I'm always just a screw-up..," as her voice trailed off I could sense the pain in her voice as if she thought I would hate her so for merely knocking me down. How could I ever get angry at her? When I cared so much but never knew how to show it. I thought it might be in my best interest to try and comfort her some. Besides, for once we were actually alone. Placing comforting hand on her shoulder I simply looked down with an awkward smile. "Listen.. It's quite OK. Actually you're not late at all. You're early in fact. Remember at the last meeting I said we'd meet an hour later so we could take a small break for all the exams so we could concentrate more on our magic?," the second she looked up at me with those endearing eyes I felt myself shoot a bright red.

"Oh Takakura-sempai! Don't you know I came here early just to be with you all alone?," Sawanoguchi quickly wrapped her arms around my neck and started to kiss me passionately. I could only stand there wide-eyed and stifle a slight moan as her lips touched mine in such a way I'd never felt before. I squeezed her tightly in an embrace as we continued to kiss each other passionately in the hall outside the clubroom. "Takakura-sempai...," she muttered softly as she pulled me into the darken clubroom. "Finally.. I'm gonna get laid!!," I thought, "And with the person I love most!" "Takakura-sempai..", she whispered softly. "Hm? Nani?," I replied. "Takakura-sempai..?"

"Um.. Takakura-sempai? Are you OK?," Sawanoguchi asked as I came out of my little trance. "Erm.. Yah! I'm fine I was just uh.. Thinking of what erm.. Magic we'd do in club today!," I said looking down at the floor and wiping away the small nosebleed that had started from my thoughts. "Oh OK! It's just that you kinda started to mutter to yourself.. And I was kinda worried..," she was looking down at the floor as she said all this but kept glancing up at me. Looking for some kind of response maybe? I didn't know I was still blushing my ass off just at the fact of being alone with her.

"Well.. Since your here.. Wanna help me set up some stuff for the meeting?," I opened the club door and proceeded into the small area. "Sure! As long as I won't get in the way..," Sawanoguchi replied with her usual carefree grin. "Oh yeah! Takakura-sempai! I brought some of those pictures we took at our last trip to the beach. I figured we could put them in the club scrapbook!," she said happily while rummaging through her things in search of the pictures she had placed there. "Sure! That sounds like a great idea. Hm.. Now where did I place the scrap book..?," My voice trailed off some as I pondered where I had placed it. "Oh that's right! I placed it under the table for safe keeping.," I thought to myself as I got down on my hands and knees and searched the boxes under the table for the book.

"Oh here they are!," Sawanoguchi said happily. Then all of a sudden I felt something smack me right in the ass. Startled I let out a small "ack" and jumped. Cracking my head right on the underside of the table. "Ow! Fuck nuts!! That's gonna leave a mark..," I replied as I rubbed the back of my head and came out from under the table. "Oh my! Takakura-sempai! I'm so sorry! I yanked the book I had the pictures in out of my bag and I guess I kinda lost my grip and they hit your.. Bottom.. I'm really sorry!!," she said quickly then did a deep respectful bow. Continuing to rub the point of impact on my head I just simply nodded and looked at her, "It's quite alright. I know it was just an accident. Besides.. I could never get angry at y--," realizing I was starting to say my thoughts a loud I cut myself off and turned a slight red.

"Shit!! Erm.. Maybe she didn't hear that last little bit..," I thought to myself. Sawanoguchi looked up at me with those caring eyes, I could see that she was also a slight red. "Takakura-sempai… Wh-What did.. What did you mean by that..?," She asked me. I could feel myself start to turn a darker red as she asks me such a question. "How could I answer it!? How could I tell her that I love her so much that I could never even think of getting angry at her!? How could I so willingly tell her how I feel about her without the fear of pain and rejection!? How much more time is there gonna to be before I get laid!?," all these thoughts ran through my mind as I tried to think of a way to avoid the question completely.

I simply just scratched the back of my head and gave a nervous laugh. "So.. I found the book so how 'bout we add the new pics?," I said quietly while picking the scrapbook off the floor. I turned back to Sawanoguchi just as she let out a small sigh. I guess she realized I was trying to avoid the question. I just hoped she didn't take it the wrong way, in thinking that had to feelings for her at all. I pulled out two fold-up chairs that were lying against the wall and placed them in front of the table. I sat down in one and looked up her with a small smile in motioned for her to sit in the other seat beside myself. As she sat down beside me a glanced at her some and turned a light red at our closeness, then placing the scrapbook on the table I turned to the back were the blank pages were.

"Here are the new ones I just got developed," Sawanoguchi said softly as she handed me the small stack of pictures. As I reached for the pictures in her hand I accidentally touched her hand with my own. Without saying anything I hesitated for a moment enjoying the small touch between us then took the pictures from her hand. I looked at each one for a moment before placing them in the scrapbook. Some were individual pictures of the others. I smiled some and turned a slight red as I admired the one of Sawanoguchi in her bikini. I would have stared longer if I weren't for getting the little questing look from her. "These pictures are really good. You really have a talent here!", I replied, "And you look great in a bikini too..," I added softly hoping she would hear after the words left my mouth. She leaned closer to me some, "Nani? What was that last little thing you said?" "I erm.. I mean.. Nothing! Nothing at all! I was just muttering to myself! Heh.. Heh..," I replied to her nervously as I felt my face heat up.

I placed the picture of her in book and looked at the last one there. I was shocked to see what the picture was. "What the..," my voice trailed off as I still couldn't believe what the picture was. The picture was taken just as I had bent over to pick up some large rocks to move them out of the way. But why would she want a close up pick of my ass? She leaned over and no sooner did she see what picture it was then she snatched it from my hands. I turned and looked at her curiously but all I saw was her staring at the tabletop. She was a dark crimson red, my how beautiful she looked when blushing. "Sawanoguchi..? Erm.. Um.. Why do have a pic of.. Well.. Y'know..," I asked her softly in a curious voice hoping she wouldn't think I was mad at her. "Ta-Takakura-sempai! I.. Um.. The camera just kinda like.. Uh.. Went off and.. Um.. Snapped a pic of your sex—I mean nice—your.. Bottom..," she looked away from me after saying that and buried her face in her hands. "Did she just compliment my ass..?," I pondered this thought for a moment, but the extremely soft sounds of her trying to stifle her tears broke me from the thought.

Before I realized it I had placed my right arm around her shoulders and had given it a comforting squeeze. I heard her give a muffled gasp at my actions. I suppose she was as shocked as I was. "Takakura-sempai.. I—I'm sorry..," Sawanoguchi mumbled, I could hear the she was on the bleak of sobbing right there. I still don't know how I got up the courage but I pulled her in closer to myself. Just as I did she snuggled right into my chest and cried softly. I slowly rubbed her back in soothing circles attempting to comfort her more, and more or less to say that I didn't mind that she took that picture. At this time I began to realize our intimate position and I felt my face grow warmer and my body go tense. Her tears subsided and I think she started to realize our embrace. My school uniform shirt was moist from her tears but that didn't bather me. Sawanoguchi slowly looked up to meet her eyes with my own, while still snuggled tightly against my chest. When she looked at me her face was red. I don't know if it was from blushing, crying, or maybe a little of both. All I did was give her a nervous smile due to the fact I didn't know what to do and plus I was enjoying this all too much. She smiled back at me warmly and without a word she nuzzled her head under my neck and wrapped her arms around my waist lightly then gave a gentle squeeze.

"So your not mad about the picture..?," I heard her ask. I squeezed her tightly and rubbed her back more, "Like I kinda said earlier.. I could never get angry at you.." I leaned down to her ear and whispered softly, "You know why that is don't you?" "No.. Why is that..?," she asked softly and gave my waist another gentle squeeze. I couldn't believe what I was about to do. It just seemed like the right time. It was now or never. Moving my head so my lips were only a few centimeters away I replied to her softly, "It's be—because..," my voice trailed off as I tried to find more confidence to tell her. Just as I started with those few words I felt her body get tense along mine. "It's because.. Sawanoguchi.. Because I—I… I love.. You..," "Oh Takakura..," she said softly and pulled away from my chest to look me in the eyes. Her face was as red as my own she leaned forward some, only a few inches from my face, "Takakura.. I—I feel the same way..," she glanced down and locked her eyes with mine again, "I.. I love you too.."

Sawanoguchi moved her arms from around my waist and wrapped them around my neck. I pulled her in closer and kissed her passionately. This feeling felt so right, and for the first time it wasn't a fantasy. It was real. She was real. The emotion was real. The whole situation was real. She pushed her body closer into mine as we deepened the kiss. A soft moan escaped my lips as she pushed a little more on me. Before I knew it she had pushed me out of the chair and she landed on top of me for the second time today. She looked at me and was about to apologize like she always does. I simply just placed my index finger on her lips and told her it was all right. I sat up straight and she moved into my lap. Again, she wrapped her arms around my neck and I placed mine snuggly around her waist. She started to say something but I cut her off short my placing my mouth on hers. Since her mouth was slightly open from starting to speak I took this as an invitation and slipped my tongue gently in her mouth. At the first touch of my tongue on her own I felt her get tense for a moment then let out a muffled moan.

This was the perfect way to end a rough day. The exams had us both stressed out this week and I believe we both needed this "little relaxation" session. No sooner did I start to go a little further by moving my hands slowly below her waist than the club door was pushed open. "N-Naniiiiii?!!  What the hell's been going on here?! Sae! Takakura-sempai!!," Nakatomi exclaimed.  As soon as we heard Nakatomi's voice than we broke our kiss and jumped up. We were both a dark crimson red as we straightened our clothes and tried to think of what to say. We looked at Nakatomi, to each other, then back at Nakatomi. "Um.. Nanaka.. I know that this kinda looks strange but um.. I'm not sure how to exactly put it but it just kind of happened..," Sawanoguchi's voice trailed off some as she tried to explain. "Sae.. Sae.. Sae..," Nakatomi shook her head some then looked at Sawanoguchi with a sly grin. "We've been best friends since kindergarten, ne? Don't ya think I of all people would be the most understanding to catch you doing something like this?," Sawanoguchi simply just nodded in her friend's direction as I stood there, silent, and scratching the back of my head in embarrassment. Nakatomi's face went from being all non-caring to serious. "There is one thing I'm worried about.. How are you two gonna break this to Aburatsubo-sempai? We all know how he feels about you, Takakura-sempai." I gasped slightly and nodded, "We'll just have to cross that bridge when we get there." "Well, Takakura-sempai.. That gives you a whole 5 minutes before he gets here for you to figure that out. Unless you're going to be sneaky about the whole relationship," Nakatomi shouted at me. "I don't like being sneaky.. It makes me feel so guilty on the inside when I do it and like a minute later I end up telling everyone the truth..," her voice trailed off and she glanced up at me, looking in my facial expression in hopes of finding something we could do. I wrapped my arms tightly around her body and gave her a tight squeeze, "Don't worry.. We'll tell Aburatsubo.. I just hope he'll take this well.."
