This chapter follows chapter 13 of the manga Faster Than a Kiss. Once again, I own nothing other than my imagination. The characters, plot, and most of the quotes all belong to the mangaka. I went a little long with this chapter because I just couldn't figure out where to start so I just started with page 1 and went from there! I hope you enjoy it! :)
When Sensei confessed to me I, Fumino, thought it was all a dream. Until something major happened that night. The motorcycle broke down on our way home, and we came here in a last ditch effort to get out of the rain. I had tried to stay calm while Sensei had bought us a room, I had even managed to keep myself in check as we made our way to the room, but now that we were there, I was losing it.
I pushed myself up against a wall, my face red and my heart thumping. This, could this be a l..l…love…?
A sneeze broke my train of thought and I moved my gaze to Sensei, who had just taken off his shirt.
"Fumino-san, you should hurry and undress," Sensei was saying calmly but I was completely distracted.
His muscles that are always hidden beneath the layers of his suit were revealed. I felt my face grow hotter as I took in all of his smoothly chorded muscles. His abs were clearly defined and his hips created a "v" that disappeared beneath the waist band of his pants. My eyes widened as I noticed the fabric of his boxers peeking over the top of his belt. My thoughts wandered back to a few weeks ago when he had claimed my first kiss and come so close to claiming another first experience of mine.
Too much, I could practically feel myself explode. I twirled, ready to spend the night in the rain if it was needed. Sensei's hand caught the hood of my jacket as I went to make my escape.
"Hey, hey, hey! Where do you think you are going?" he exclaimed pulling me back to him.
My eyes widened as my hands touched the smooth expanse of his chest. I yelped and pulled away from him, cowering by one of the chairs in the room. I closed my eyes as my body shook violently. I tried to push the thoughts of our kiss and his beautifully sculpted body from my mind. I could feel him behind me and pulled my shoulders around myself protectively. I put a hand on my face and scolded myself. You perv! This is an emergency situation, this is not like a normal couple going to a love hotel to- I squeezed my eyes closed and tapped my fist against my forehead, scolding myself was not helping.
"Sorry for bringing you to this kind of place, but I'll leave soon, so don't worry," Sensei's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"Eh?" I said turning to look at him.
"After I dry off, I'll borrow an umbrella so I can go take a look at the motorcycle, "Sensei continued, "I'll have to find a gas station to repair it, so it might take until morning."
"Wait," I Interrupted, "You're planning to go out in the rain again?" An ominous clap of thunder shook the hotel, putting emphasis on my words.
"It's fine," Sensei said, stopping in the middle of drying off, "Staying here is more dangerous."
I cocked my head, trying to decipher his words.
"Well, anyways!" Sensei continued with forced enthusiasm, "I'll be going now."
"Wait, wait!" I rushed over to him, putting my hands against his chest, "But, Sensei, you're freezing! You sneezed just a while ago, right? You should take a shower before you leave!"
"What!" Sensei exclaimed, "But if you don't shower first, you'll catch a cold!"
"I won't!" I shouted back, getting increasingly angrier as this pointless banter continued.
"You have to!" He yelled back.
I ignored his last retort and clung to him, refusing to lose this argument, "And, you don't need to go anywhere! Stay here until the rain stops at least!"
A shocked silence hung in the air after my outburst until a quiet, "Okay," from Sensei vibrated into my body. I gasped as I realized he was still shirtless and I was pressed against him. Thoughts of our kiss flew thought my mind again and I pushed away from him quickly, trying to regain my sanity.
"I didn't mean it like that!" I shouted, backing up until my back hit the wall.
"I know," He said calmly, walking toward me like I was a frightened rabbit, "but Fumino-san must shower first!"
I looked at him for a minute and then nodded, trying not to laugh at the irony of it;Don't be fooled, I'm actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, Sensei. Why do I keep having these thoughts? Honestly…how did it become like this?
My thoughts were full of Sensei as I undressed and got in the tub. We had always been together ever since he brought me and Teppei home from that park but to go from a date to a hotel. I cocked my head, actually, this was going to be the first time Sensei and I will be staying together overnight alone.
My face flushed bright red and I started flinging bubbles everywhere in an attempt to distract myself and throw away the many scenarios playing out in my head. Then Sensei's voice came back to me, the low timbre of his voice, the slight shake he had tried to disguise when he said 'I love you.'
My heart thumped wildly and I stood up quickly trying to banish my thoughts. I've-I've got to hurry up or Sensei will catch a cold! I thought scrubbing my skin franticly. Once I had rinsed off and dried off I looked around for a change of clothes. I looked through all of the drawers in the room and found a night gown. I blushed at the thought of wearing something so short but shook my head. You wear cosplay way more revealing for him every night! Get over it!
I pulled on my still slightly damp underwear and then pulled the night gown over my head. I rushed out into the room, my hair still wet.
"Sorry for the wait, Sensei!"
" That was quick!," came Sensei's reply over music playing from the television in the room and I was shocked to notice that his eyes were covered with a towel.
"What?" I looked back and forth between the television and Sensei and decided to address Sensei first, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's-" Sensei groaned, dropping his head into his hands, "Fumino-san, I'm so sorry! I didn't realize until after you went in!"
"What..." I trailed off as his hand raised and pointed to the semi-transparent shower room.
I flushed and grabbed his collar stuttering incoherently.
"Nothing!" Sensei insisted, "I saw noth-"
His words cut of as his hand hit the remote and changed the channel to a channel showing depictions of romantic love. Sensei and I both froze as erotic sounds poured from the television. We panicked, flailing for the remote and yelling disjointedly at each other.
Sensei finally formed a sentence, "Fumino-san give me the remote control!", but I was too frazzled to acknowledge it.
After a few minutes of struggling for the remote and changing the channels numerous times, I felt myself lose balance.
"Watch out!" Sensei yelled as he pulled me on top of him to cushion my fall.
We both fell onto the bed in a tangled mess of arms and legs. I pushed myself off of him to apologize but pulled up short as I met his soft gray eyes. Shock gave way to love and his eyes softened as he pulled his hand through my hair and cupped my face.
I trembled, my face flushing, and allowed myself to think all of the thoughts I'd been pushing from my mind the entire night.
Then, Sensei sighed and pulled me close to him; I nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck and breathed in the Sensei's scent. He smelled muskier than usual, his smell enhanced by the rain.
"I won't do anything," Sensei murmured.
My eyes opened in shock.
"I've already confessed to you today," he continued, stroking my hair, "We'll take things slow. There's no rush."
Through my hands trapped between our bodies I could feel his heart racing, matching the fevered beat of my own. The heat coming from his body radiated through me and I knew, I didn't want to take things slow.
"Don't restrain yourself, Sensei," I said pushing against his hand so I could see his eyes, "I'm not a child."
His eyes changed, they became hungry and serious, almost angry. He flipped me over, so quickly I was disoriented for a minute and then his lips crushed onto mine. It was nothing like our first kiss, I felt like I was on fire, he was the match and I was his flame. Everywhere he touched me was alight.
I let out a low moan and slid my fingers though his hair raking my nails against his scalp. A growl from somewhere deep in his chest rumbled through me and I remembered that his shirt was open. I slid my hands down his neck and down his back, loving the feeling of his muscles bunching and releasing under my fingertips. As I explored his back Sensei lowered his mouth to the nape of my neck and started tracing my collarbone with his tongue.
I froze, my entire body going stiff. He had never done anything like this before. I flinched as I felt his hand slide up my thigh under my nightgown. I felt fear grow in the pit of my stomach.
"Sensei?" I called to him softly, my voice shaking with fear.
He ignored me, his other hand dipping underneath the collar of my night gown.
I squeezed my eyes closed and balled up my fist.
"Sensei, stop!" I yelled, my punch sending him flying to the end of the bed.
"Now do you see?" he yelled wildly, "I don't keep from touching you because I think you are a child!"
I curled into a ball at the head of the bed, tears welling up in my eyes. The longer Sensei looked at me, the calmer he became. He slowly crawled to my side and pulled me into his lap. I was tense, waiting for the worst and then I felt his hand comb through my hair. I knew these hands, these were Sensei's hands, and they would never hurt me.
"I do it because I respect you as a woman, and am willing to wait until you are ready. I'm so sorry, Fumino, I took it too far. Please don't be scared," he softly murmured, rocking me gently.
I couldn't hold it back any longer, I sobbed into his chest, grateful to have my Sensei back. The entire time I cried Sensei never once stopped apologizing. Once I had stopped crying and he had made sure I was okay, he took a shower. I curled up in the bed, watching his clouded silhouette through the door and felt secure, for once in a very long time. Sensei didn't think of me as a child, he loved me as a woman, loved me for who I am. I used that thought as a blanket and drifted into sleep.
Hope you enjoyed it! I tried to stay with the story line as closely as possible (minus the kissing, of course) but if you have any complaints, please let me know! Any constructive criticism, lay it on me! Any requested chapters, let me know and I will do my best!
Again, the characters, the plot, and most of the lines belong only to the mangaka. I own nothing! And seriously, if you haven't read the manga, check it out!
