Hello everyone! I was so surprised that so many people enjoyed this one-shot. I was even more surprised by all your requests for a follow up chapter/story. I am so grateful to all of you and I have read every single one of your reviews. And so…I've decided to create this small follow up of the morning after. Please consider that the characters might be a bit OOC, since I think that a relationship, and the people in it, changes a bit once the more physical aspects come into play (people get bolder, sometimes).

I will say that I am working on another one-shot for this couple, and I think I will stick to birthdays as a theme. I will most likely post this new story within the next month.

Thank you all so much for your follows, favorites and reviews, I cannot believe that you enjoyed reading that as much as I enjoyed writing it. In this chapter I am trying my hand at a 3rd person POV and hopefully it will come out alright.

And now without further ado….

The morning after

He opened his eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling. It took his sleep induced brain all of 5 seconds to realize that he was most definitely not in his room. A small sigh caught his attention and he very slowly moved his head to the side, only to be meet by the beautiful, and tangled, black tresses of his adorable girlfriend. She was sleeping on her side, facing away from him, using his arm as a pillow, and holding on to his hand lightly with her own.

He could not help but admire her body, the sheer perfection of it. No matter how shy or self-conscious she was, try as she might to deny it, he knew she was perfect. All her beautiful milky white skin. From her head to her toes. All of it, he loved all of her.

He turned on his side, careful not to disturb her rest, and glanced over her shoulder to the alarm clock that rested on the nightstand. It read 6:37AM, which was later than he was used to waking up and was sure that she would not be long to wake now, if her small repetitive sighs were any indication. A small thought entered his mind and try as he might he could not help himself. She looked so soft and small and perfect, and so he wrapped his right arm over her waist and very gently pulled her so that her back was against his chest and he could spoon her from behind. He buried his face in her hair and inhaled that precious scent, he could feel every inch of her body pressed against his. This must be what heaven felt like, he decided.

He lost track of how long he laid there, inhaling her scent, eyes closed in bliss. When she started to stir he opened his eyes once more, just in time to see her turning around to face him. Her sleepy beautiful purple eyes looked at him in confusion and, a second later, in understanding. He held his breath. He had, after all, taken her virginity. His old doubts came rushing back. Perhaps it had been too soon for her. Perhaps they should have waited another year or two. Besides, who the hell was he to think that he could tarnish such a perfect creature with himself. One such as him should neve—

"Good morning Soushi" She said, the smallest of smiles and the faintest of blushes upon her cheeks. That was all it took for his doubts to go out the window.

"Indeed, it is, Ririchiyo" He could only hope that his eyes showed half of the love he felt in his heart for this woman.

"Have you been awake long?" Her eyes were still heavy, but he could see she was well rested.

"Not very long, my dear" He placed a kiss on her forehead and she snuggled closer to him. He could not help but notice her body and he could feel a familiar stir within him occur. He could feel her breath on the skin just below his neck and he felt her thigh move closer to him and brush against his own.

"You could have gone if you wanted, you know that, right? I am sure that you have more important and better things to do than wait for me to wake" She was simply too adorable, even when she was sprouting nonsense.

"What could possibly be more important than spending time with the woman I love?" And he decided to fluster her a bit, just to see that lovely blush of hers come to life under her skin. "Besides, I had a lovely view of your perfect body. Why would I want to leave?" And just like he predicted, her blush came full force, making her face and neck very pink. And such a lovely shade it was on her.

Ririchiyo for her part, had not quite remembered what her state of dress was. Or rather, lack thereof. She could feel her face heat up quickly and she turned to the other side of the bed to cover herself with the bed sheets. Soushi, it seemed, had other plans, as he quickly grabbed her from behind and locked her within his embrace. Now she was very much aware of his skin on hers, and her shyness started to creep upon her. She struggled to free herself and reach her goal, which was lying in a silky bulk a few feet away. His breath ticked her ear and his voice reached her perfectly "You might want to stop struggling my love. You seem to forget the effect you have on me." And she could feel it, right against her bottom. If she had been blushing before, she had no idea what sort of shade her face was now. She was sure she resembled a tomato, more than she did a person.

"Well if you want me to stop struggling, perhaps you should let me go." She had no idea how her voice did not tremble when she spoke.

"I never said anything about me wanting you to stop. However, I will say that I do not hold myself responsible for what I do should you not. Which is why I suggested that you might want to stop."

She licked her lips unconsciously. The heat on her face was subsiding, but still present, and she unconsciously rubbed her thighs together. "I might not want to stop. What then?"

He could not help but notice her actions. His lips went from her ear to her neck and he placed small butterfly kisses along its length, all the way to her shoulder before replying "Please do not tempt me my love. I worry about your wellbeing. Are you not sore at all? Was I gentle enough? I am scared that I did hurt you after all."

She grabbed hold of one of the hands that kept her prisoner within his embrace and with little effort, for he would never seriously do anything against her will (unless it regarded her protection), brought it to her lips and kissed it.

"I don't think that you could ever hurt me. Last night was amazing, and I felt your love when you treated me so gently. I like that you worry about me, but sometimes you worry way too much." For this she turned to face him once more "I love you. So much."

A thought came to her mind and she flushed internally at the thought of it. It would be a bold thing to do. Was she bold enough? But then, she was tired of worrying. He loved her and that was enough. And so, she turned in his arms, put her hands on his chest and pushed, making him lay on his back.

Not a heartbeat later she was sitting on his stomach, he could feel the heat between her legs and the wetness there and he could see her in all her naked glory. He was glad that he was not wearing underpants (or any pants for that matter), for they would surely be very uncomfortable. For the second time since entering her room, she initiated their love making.

Her lips where the sweetest thing he had ever tasted, and he greedily kissed her back and sucked on her lip. His hands wandered all over her skin, from her milky thighs, to her perfect bottom, to her strong and graceful back. The warmness that rested on his stomach got warmer, if that was even possible, and wetter. For the millionth time he wondered as to how he could incite such a response from such a beautiful creature.

She took her time, nervous as she was. Being on top of him made her feel powerful in a way. It exited her in a different kind of way and she wanted to bask in it. His kisses make her want more, and she loved the way his hands caressed her skin. Her hands held on to his hair and neck, bringing her lips closer to his, and her hips moved over his stomach almost of their own accord, seeking release without obtaining it. He was so much taller than her and she wanted him but did not want to separate their lips. She moved down slowly, bringing her hands to his shoulders and bringing them to a sitting position, their lips still connected. She raised herself just enough to bring him to her entrance, she broke the kiss and looked into his eyes as she slid him into her warmness. His eyes held love, lust and adoration as she slowly marked their rhythm. He held on to her hips, helping her in her efforts to bring them both to their release. Her small moans and his quiet grunts filled the room, along with the sound of skin meeting skin.

Soushi could feel his peak approach him but being the gentleman that he was, he refused to get there without his love. Bringing his hand in between their bodies he searched out that little nub he knew would drive his girlfriend mad. Once he found it, she threw her head back, her body feeling like it was on fire, she trembled from the sensation, and she could feel herself just on the edge. Holding on to his shoulders she brought their lips together one last time before she felt herself falling over the edge, his name on her lips, and he was falling right alongside her.

They stayed there for a few moments, their breathing labored as they came down from their highs. Ririchiyo's thighs trembled from her efforts and her lover took notice and laid himself back, bringing her with him. She rested her head on his chest and listened to his calming heart beating. It beat slower and slower until it settled into a steady beat.

Ririchiyo slid from his body and sat up. She scanned the room until she found her long forgotten objective: the silky sheet. She retrieved it and covered him, then proceeded to snuggle beside him. An uncounted amount of time passed as they stared into each other's eyes, a calm settling over them both. No words were spoken.

No words were needed.

And that is that! I hope you guys enjoyed this. I really missed writing about them. I recently started to read the manga and I got to a not so very nice part and was desperate to write a happy story for them. If you enjoyed it, please leave me a review, and if you did not enjoy it…please leave me a review with constructive criticism (no flames, please!).

And as always,
