Mizore and Tsukune both looked towards the door for different reasons - Mizore in annoyance and the latter in almost relief.
"Tsukune! Wake up! We're going to be late for class!" Moka yelled outside the door. She continued to knock more on the door, a little bit more forceful and louder this time.
Tsukune looked back at Mizore who hadn't moved away from him, still feeling her cool breath trickle down his body. She maintained her cool, blank expression and her gaze still fixed on the door but her hands had moved onto his chest. And for a moment, he saw her beauty truly for the first time. Her pale, white skin that was flawless in appearance and most likely in touch as well; her facial features that at first glance made her irresistibly cute but now made her incredibly beautiful; her purple hair that fell almost to her shoulders but seemed to caress her cheeks softly; but most of all, those purple-blue eyes that let off a cool and almost relaxing feeling onto him, easing him into comfort. He didn't feel threatened or even the least bit scared with Mizore standing in front of him. For a moment, just for a moment, he lost himself in her. Only the incessant pounding of Moka Akashiya was able to at least bring Mizore out of that moment and in doing so, brought Tsukune out of it as well.
"Coming Moka! I'll meet you outside!" yelled out Tsukune. The receding footsteps of the vampire was slowly heard as he answered. Mizore looked down in disappointment and in sadness and slowly stepped away from Tsukune. As she took each small step away from him, the ice encasing his body slowly started to melt away. Mizore backed towards his window, Tsukune was able to walk freely. But he felt guilty for some reason. He couldn't give Mizore what she asked for; what she needed from the one she loved the most. Mizore started to move towards the window and jump out the window when Tsukune made a quick dash towards her and gently grabbed her by the arm. Looking down, Tsukune couldn't face Mizore, who rarely ever showed much emotion, was now looking at him with shock and concern.
"Tsukune..." Mizore said softly. She had never expected him to do this and had he done this, she did not expect it to be her. She froze in place (funny for her to do so) and just stared wide eyed at Tsukune. And for a moment, he didn't say anything. What's wrong with him? she thought to herself. He was always so nervous, apprehensive almost every time she put herself upon him at every attempt of seducing him. Normally, he would be sweet and casually and nervously decline her advances out of pure respect for her. Maybe he's just being weird... Besides, Moka is waiting for him... The last thought almost brought tears to her eyes. Of course, Tsukune would pick the vampire over her and the rest of them. He had known her the longest and they were always together; he didn't even wince at the thought of his blood being sucked by her. If anything, he loved her just as much if not more than she did. Mizore hated her, but most of all she hated herself; to always be dragged along by Tsukune who was always too scared to choose out of five girls who he wanted to be with. They all loved him in their own way. Thus, now, she felt like she was fed up with how things were going. She tried to pull away and that was when she heard words that she only dreamed of him saying to her.
"Don't go..."
Am I dreaming? Did he... No. I must be dreaming... There's no w- Her thoughts were interrupted when Tsukune looked up to Mizore straight in the eye and smiled softly.
"Mizore..." whispered Tsukune, dropping the hononrific from her name. As much as he struggled to not show any sign of faltering, he couldn't help but feel vulnerable and bold at the same time; he struggled to keep his breath looking up at her. Then the sudden rush of the memory of her throwing herself out the window back at her village came crashing down upon him. He was reminded of the hurt and pain and shock he felt from the thought of losing her for something that wasn't her fault but still took the blame for. That is when something clicked inside Tsukune - he didn't want to be with Mizore. He needed to be with her. Why now? he thought to himself but now, he really couldn't care less; Tsukune was happy with himself that he finally had made up his mind on who he wanted to be with.
"Tsukune?" Mizore asked worriedly; scared that he regretted saying words that again stole her heart by the young human.
"Mizore-chan, can you..." Tsukune began. I'm so nervous... I know her answer but I still can't bring myself to ask this simple question. "Can you... can you meet me on the roof after school? We haven't spent a lot of time alone for awhile and it is long overdue," he squeaked out with a small smile on his face. He loosened his grip on her arm and moved it towards her hand and took it gently. "Please?" he asked a little bit more positively, added with a reassuring smile.
Me and Tsukune... Alone? The thought of it simply overwhelmed her. Mizore blinked away the tears of happiness creeping onto her eyes but they overwhelmed her and trickled down her cheeks as she gave an assured smile that immediately gave away her answer. She stepped down from his window, took the lollipop from her mouth, and flung her arms around his neck and looked up at Tsukune. Tsukune instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and returned Mizore's gaze.
"Is that a yes?" Tsukune asked jokingly. Mizore chuckled softly and looked off to the side, causing a small bit of her hair to fall to the side of her face casually. Before she could move it out of the way and off to the side, Tsukune had reached up and had done so for her. He gently placed the hair behind her ears and gently slid his fingers down her neck and cupped her chin gently. The movement itself ignited sparks between the two - Tsukune could hardly control his breathing while Mizore seemed to inch herself closer to him pushing herself fully fleshed against the former. Mizore curled her arms tighter around Tsukune's neck and tilted her head to the side and parted her lips in the slightest, her eyes slowly closing halfway. Tsukune, did the same, tilting his head in the same direction of the yuki-onna and gently pushed his lips against hers, closing his eyes shut. Mizore melted into the moment and allowed herself to be lost in his arms - she inhaled sharply, instinctively putting her energy into the kiss alone, eyes now fully closed. Her lips pushed against Tsukune's and cooly slipped her tongue between his lips. The cold temperature of her tongue took him off guard and was warranted with a sharp inhale and a gentle quiver from the human teen. As much as Tsukune was inexperienced as anxious, he did his best to not disappoint Mizore; he parted his lips gently and allowed her tongue access, giving her full power to control the moment. Mizore pushed her tongue deeper into his mouth and pulled Tsukune towards a little bit more, causing him to lean more into her and to allow her tongue to explore. Tsukune in turn leaned in gently and gently massaged Mizore's tongue with his.
Even now... He's a gentleman... Mizore thought to herself. With Tsukune on her tongue, she was heating up internally and exponentially with each fleeting moment. After gently pushing down on Tsukune's tongue, she regrettably retracted her tongue from his mouth and pulled it back into her own. A small trail of saliva was loosely connected between the lips of the two teenagers and was soon broken by Tsukune looking away in embarrassment. Mizore smiled with a blush of her own and gently placed her lollipop back into her mouth.
"Sorry... I had to end it because I was getting a little too warm on the inside," Mizore said with a smirk on her lips. Tsukune became slightly wide-eyed at the statement and nervously scratched his cheek. "But, you're a pretty good kisser, Tsukune," she added with wink.
"You- you think so?" Tsukune nervously chuckled in reply. He closed his eyes and started to rub the back of his head.
"I know so. Besides, I would like to try a little bit longer after school today," Mizore replied.
"Oh, okay," Tsukune stuttered out. "I'll be there."
Mizore turned to leave towards the window and looked back at Tsukune. "Does this make us a couple?"
Tsukune smiled softly and nodded slowly. "Yes, yes it does." Mizore smiled brightly and opened his window and jumped out towards the courtyard. Tsukune walked towards the window and looked out to watch her leave. Not surprised to not be able to see her anywhere or a ladder for that matter, he smiled to himself and closed the window. As he locked it, a realization rail-roaded him and immediately his mood went from happy to shocked and scared.
Crap! How the hell am I going to break this to everyone?!
