5 nights in Guam
First night
He was unable to find sleep. He would probably not sleep at all that night he realized.
Kyouko - or rather Setsu, he reminded himself - had showed up at his door earlier, demanding to spend the night. "Just knowing that ni san is here and I'm over there" she said "it's not right." he remembered her cute pout when he tried to turn her down "I want to sleep in the same room with ni san." She had brushed away his objection that there was only one bed, and getting rid of her black negligee, she slipped under the cover with nothing but a teeny tiny nightie.
And here they were now, lying together in the dark. Luckily, this was a two person's bed, so that there was a safe distance between them. He only saw her shoulders and upper back. The rest of her was hidden under the covers. He had been unable to tear his gaze from her ever since his eyes had adjusted to the dark. How many minutes had gone by in this melancholic silence? He extended a hand to her, but stopped short before he touched her. He couldn't. Not when she trusted him enough to come to his bed. Was she sleeping already? It was a fitting punishment for a sinner like him. She would probably come and sleep next to him like that for the next… How many nights were there left before they went back home?
4 more nights. She thought to herself. There were 4 more nights to go like that.
Was she ever going to get any sleep during this trip? She bit her lips in frustration, calling herself a dummy in her head. She was the one who had put herself in this situation, what had she been expecting? That he would hold her close and lull her to sleep with soft caresses? She was awfully failing at slowing down the beating of her heart too. Just because it felt like a Setsu thing to do… she deplored internally. Who was she kidding, it was not really Setsu who wanted to spend this time with him, or at least both girls' wishes converged when it came to him.
She sighed and moved to lie on her back. It brought her just a bit closer to him but there was still this unsurmountable gap between them. She remained scrupulously on her side - why had he laid himself so far from her? Well of course he would have to stay at the edge of the bed, he was probably careful not to let her get any idea. How many times had this happened to him before? There were probably dozens of girls that had tried to get into his bed over the years. How different was she now, coming to his room under the pretense to be there if he needed someone? She felt so ashamed. How many newbies like her had he already turned down? Did he turn them all down? She blushed.
She turned her head and looked at him. He was turned her way, his eyes wide open. They shared a flustered smile when their eyes met and she couldn't stop her hand as it moved to his face. She caressed the bangs that were on the side of his cheek and he put his hand over hers. Slowly, he brushed the skin there, silently staring at her. It was a sweet moment. Neither of them knew how long it lasted, absorbed as they were in each other. It felt so natural to be together like that, neither of them questioned it. She brushed her fingertips along his locks and his cheek. He glided his hand down her wrist, then her arm, and moved all the way to her shoulder. Once there, it moved up to caress the hair on the side of her face, mimicking her own actions.
That made her smile. Testing his reaction, she brushed down his neck, extending her fingers to his nape and behind his ear. He did the same. His eyes bore into hers. She licked her lips as she brought herself just a little closer. He watched her quietly as her hand descend from his neck towards his chest. Breaking their stare to let her eyes follow the path of her fingers as they moved down his collarbone, she palmed his pec, brushing over his nipple and removed her hand as if she had just been burned. She looked back up to him, blushing. His eyes were closed. He moved closer and rested his forehead against hers. She gasped as his hand began to mirror her previous movement, but instead of exploring her mound, he only caressed the side of it, under her armpit.
He wanted to kiss her so bad. He wanted to grab at her breast and tease her peak. He wanted to push into her and keep her caged in his embrace all night. It would be ok if he just hugged her, wouldn't it? He had a solid hold on his urges right now, and he hoped he would be able to restrain himself if he succeeded in keeping things chaste like that. Chaste? A voice in the back of his mind scoffed. Yeah, right. He wasn't going to get an erection from just holding her, was he? He swallowed the lump in his throat. You're siblings. He reminded himself. This is a sibling's hug. He failed to convince himself.
She felt like she was going to lose it. They were so close! The soft grazing of his fingers on her modest skin was so erotic. She caught herself with a hand on his waist as he caressed slowly down her spine. He kissed her forehead and gently, slowly, he brought her closer to his warmth as if she was the most fragile thing in the world. She felt like she had landed on a cloud when her face met the skin of his chest. She hugged him back, her hands balled into fists, as if she was suddenly afraid that touching him more would make him dissipate into thin air. This is so nice, she thought guiltily. She was suddenly very content with Setsu's boldness: if she was going to sleep like that for 4 more nights, then it was definitely the best idea she had ever, ever had. Ever.
They finally relaxed in their tight embrace and forgetting their apprehensions, they soon fell asleep, oblivious to their shared contemplations. This might not be so bad after all, both thought, I could get used to it.
A.N.
Thank you so much for your nice reviews, I hope the next chapters will be up to your expectations. I feel like the 1st chapter is not exactly representative of what this story is going to be. The heart of the story are actually going to be chapters 2 to 6 : one night per chapter...
Thank you so much for your clicks and feedback, and of course, for reading :)
