Chapter 2: Secret Lovers I wake up and stretch my body. I then sit up in my bed. Was yesterday real? Had all of those things really happened between Akise and me? Were we really together now? A secret couple? I shook the thoughts away, it had to have all just been a dream, right? I heard a noise from downstairs, so I grabbed a dart and slowly headed for the stairs. I stood at the top of the stairs and listened, the sounds are coming from the kitchen. Is mom home? I slowly go down the stairs and begin to hear humming, but it is a males voice. It definitely isn't mom. I slowly approach the bottom of the stairs and head silently for the kitchen. I peek my head around the corner of the doorway. I let out a sigh of relief, it was only Akise. Wait a second, Akise? What is he doing in my kitchen. How did he get in? Wait, does this mean all that stuff really happened yesterday? It wasn't just a dream? I couldn't help but to smile to myself, and I walked into the kitchen. Akise turned around, hearing my footsteps. "Yuki, I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Akise asked, looking at me so sincerely. I laughed, "no, Akise, it's fine, I woke up on my own. Although, I have to admit, when I heard the noise down here it startled me, especially when I heard you humming. I thought a robber had broken in." He gave a big smile and chuckled, setting down the pan he was holding to walk over to me, and he ruffled my hair, "you're so cute. Why would a robber be humming such a happy tune so carelessly?" He had a good point, a robber would have been more quiet, as he would have been trying to avoid getting caught. "Anyways, Akise," I began again, "why are you here? I mean, how did you get inside?" Akise walked back over to the stove and turned it off. "Well, to answer you're first question," he began, as he picked the pan back up, carrying it over to the table and scraping some eggs out of it onto two plates, "I thought for our first full day as an official couple, we should eat together, and it should be healthy, so I made us some eggs and bacon for breakfat along with ketchup to top the eggs and I hand-squeezed some orange juice for us." I looked at the meal on the table. For as long as I have known Akise, I never knew that he could even cook, until today. I smiled, "Akise, wow! I never knew you could cook!" He smiled at me, "now, to answer your other question." He pulled a key out of his pocket. "How did you get that?" I couldn't help but to ask. He simply placed it back into his pocket. "It's the key your mom used to keep hidden outside for you in case you forgot yours." He stated. "I talked to your mom the last time she was here and she was worried about you and told me where the key was and said I should take it, since I was your closest friend, and she asked that I watch over you while she's away. Simple as that." He walked over to me and grabbed my hand, guiding me to the table, pulling out my chair for me to sit. "My mom said that?" Icouldn't believe it. My mom was so carefree and never seemed worried at all. Akise sat across from me and took a bite of his eggs, "she did." I smiled. I wonder if mom has any idea about Akise and me, about our new relationship. "So, now that that's out of the way, eat. I wouldn't want you to starve until lunch time." He smiled as he began to eat. "Itadakimasu!" I said before begining to eat. I took a bite of the eggs. They were delicious! Then the bacon, and wow, so good. "Although I don't want you starving at lunch, make sure you're hungry. I made a lunch for you." I smiled, he really was thoughtful. He made me a lunch. That made me really happy, and my face felt hot. "No need to be embarrassed. Although, you're so cute when you blush." Akise smiled and continued to eat his breakfast, and I slowly started eating mine. Akise finished and wiped his mouth, "if you'll excuse me for a second, I need to go brush my teeth. A clean mouth is a happy mouth." He smiled. "Wait, I'll go with you. I need to brush mine too." He smiled and extended his hand to me, "lets go then." I took his hand and we went into the bathroom and began brushing my teeth. He had brought his own little travel toothbrush, which folds up like a pocket knife, so that it fits in your pocket. We finished brushing our teeth at abouth the same time. "Akise, do mine look okay," I smiled big so he could look at my teeth. He smiled, "absolutely perfect." He folded his toothbrush and stuck it back into his pocket. "A...Akise," I stuttered, "did you really mean what you said yesterday, about loving me?" He smiled, "every word." I couldn't help but to blush and look away. I felt Akise's hand and my cheek as he pulled my face towards his and pressed his lips to mine. I felt my face get hot, but I didn't care, I kissed him back, and opened my mouth, allowing his tongue to freely enter and explore my mouth, as my tongue explored his. He ran his fingers through my hair and pulled me close to him, his other hand gently carressing my cheek. I dropped the dart I had been holding all this time and placed my hands on his chest, feeling the soft material of his shirt gently against his chest. His hands moved down my back, pulling me even closer to him, and one hand stayed there while the other drifted towards my butt, and gently squeezed. I let out a slight moaning noise and Akise pulled his lips about an inch away from mine. "Akise," I said, my voice weak, "Akise, I want to explore you." Akise moved his mouth towards my ear, his face slightly brushing up against mine and he whispered in my ear, "not yet." The feel of his hot breath on my ear made me shiver, and I felt so strongly that I just wanted to undress both myself and him. He placed his hands on my pajama bottoms, just near the opening. He firmly yet gently pressed his hand against me and found my private spot and just rubbed it from the outside. I gasped for breath and lunged towards him, laying my head on his chest. "A..Akise..." I couldn't help but to say his name. With his other hand, he lifted my face and pressed his lips against mine once more as he rubbed, and stuck one finger inside the opening of my bottoms and lightly stroked the bare skin, up and down, with the single finger. He continued this torture for about a minute and pulled his hand away, also pulling his lips away. I could feel that my face was hot, I must have been more red than a cherry. I had to have been. My thoughts were confirmed. Akise went to the bathroom door and grabbed the handle, looking at me, "you're so red, how cute." He turned the doorknob and began to walk out. "Get dressed, we're gonna be late," he smiled.
