Madoka's Protector

Chapter 2: Full House

Madoka was in ecstasy as she laid on top of Ginga, locked in his embrace. It was strange, even though the loud crack of thunder was over, the two of them remained there together on the floor. They had their eyes closed and their bodies were squeezed together tightly. Ginga listened to Madoka's breathing, slow yet deep, while Madoka listened to his heartbeat, strong and powerful. Neither of them even noticed that someone was knocking at the door quite loudly and feverishly. Completely shut off from the world, they laid there enjoying the company of the each other's warmth and presence. Suddenly, the door swung open.

"Madoka, why the hell won't you open the -", Kyoya yelled before he was cut off when he looked down and saw the two teens lying on top of each other.

"Uhhhhhhh….", he trailed off as he and everyone else standing behind him was trying to fathom what they were seeing. Yuu, Kenta, Benkei, and Hikaru were all staring at the happy couple, mouthes wide open.

"Uhhh…Gingi?", Yuu asked. At that moment, Ginga and Madoka snapped out of their embrace, coming to their senses and releasing each other. Looking to see their friends all staring at them, they both began blushing uncontrollably.

"Gingi…why were you and Madoka lying on top of each other?", Yuu nervously asked, scared the answer may scar him for life.

"Oh God, what do we say?", Madoka frantically whispered to Ginga. He placed a hand under his chin and pondered for a brief moment before his face lit up. He stood to his feet and proclaimed,

"Madoka and I were wrestling! That's why we were lying on top of each other!"

Madoka slapped her forehead. "Ginga, you idiot!", she yelled in her own head.

"Ohhh, I get it!", Yuu said, "You guys were just playing a game! My turn!"

Yuu then ran and tackled Ginga, or at least who he thought was Ginga. He laughed then looked down and saw he tackled a very angry Madoka.

"Get off ME!", Madoka shouted as she kicked Yuu off her. The little golden haired boy rolled across the carpet to Kyoya's feet.

"What are you guys doing here anyway?", Ginga asked Kyoya.

"I could be asking you the same question.", Kyoya snickered, "Looks like you were gettin' some action."

"N-no I wasn't!", Ginga quickly shouted in protest, "I came here to get Pegasus fixed, and then the thunder came and Madoka got a little scared so I hugged her! That's all!"

Kyoya chuckled. "Sure, whatever you say." Ginga growled, ready to lunge at Kyoya's throat. Madoka walked up beside him and put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

"It's okay, Ginga. I'm not embarrassed.", she said. Ginga turned to face her and frowned, he knew she was lying. He could tell she was embarrassed by this.

"We went to the movies after the battle you had with Kenta, and by the time we had started walking home, it began pouring on us.", Hikaru explained, "So we headed for the nearest place that we could crash at."

"We can stay here until the storm passes, right?", Benkei asked. Madoka hung her head and took a deep breath.

"Okay, I guess.", she sighed, "I'll go make everyone some tea."

An hour passed and the storm had not yet ended. Ginga, Yuu, and Kyoya were down in the basement battling each other in one battle royale after another. Kenta and Benkei sat in the living room watching TV, while Madoka and Hikaru sat at a table in the kitchen drinking their tea.

"So, why were you lying on top of Ginga, anyway?", Hikaru asked her. Madoka suddenly began turning a slight shade of pink as she scratched the back of her head.

"W-What do you mean?", she stuttered.

"I mean, I know you guys definitely weren't wrestling. So what were you doing?", Hikaru probed further.

"You want the truth?", Madoka asked.

"Yes.", Hikaru nodded.

"You promise you won't tell anyone?", Madoka pleaded.

"Of course not. I'll keep it a secret.", Hikaru promised.

"I don't know why, but I loved the feeling of being alone with Ginga before the storm happened. I went to wake him up, and he got this shocked look on his face when I nudged him awake. I joked that I wasn't watching him sleep or anything, and then we slowly started laughing about it. I gave him back his bey, which I was fixing for him, and he was preparing to leave when we heard rumbling. Then came the…", Madoka trailed off.

"The what? The storm?", Hikaru asked.

"Yeah, and a huge crack of thunder. I got frightened and then Ginga opened his arms as I jumped into them, we fell to the floor and just…we just laid there. I don't know what happened, but even after the shock of it all had died down, Ginga and I just stayed in that embrace. It was warm, it was close, it was just the two of us sharing an intimate moment together. I mean, I've never seen Ginga act like that before.", Madoka finished as she sighed happily.

"I think I understand.", Hikaru told her.

"You do?", Madoka asked.

"Yeah, you and Ginga have been close friends for years now, and all of sudden things have changed. Ginga's starting to show signs of affection towards you, and the two of you just can't hold it in anymore.", Hikaru deduced.

"R-really? You think Ginga likes me?", Madoka wondered.

"Listen to me, Madoka. You have to tell Ginga how you feel. If he likes you, then you should act on it. I'm not saying go crazy or anything, you're still young, but you've got to get things out in the open.", Hikaru advised her.

Madoka sat there as Hikaru got up and joined the boys' in the living room. Kyoya and Yuu had come upstairs to watch TV as well. They were all there, except for Ginga. Madoka continued to sit at the kitchen table, looking at her reflection in the tea as it fluxed and twisted with each rumble of thunder outside. She got up and began walking to her workshop in the basement, still thinking hard about what Hikaru said. Should she tell Ginga? Did he really feel the same way? As she stepped down the stairs she went deeper and deeper into thought. She then rested against the wall, and sighed. She closed her eyes and went back to the moment when she and Ginga were together on the soft carpet, with his hands running through her hair. She smiled as she slumped down further into the wall.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Yuu gasped as he watched the local forecast. "Hey guys!", he yelled. Everyone came running in.

"What is it, Yuu?", Kyoya asked.

"It says on the forecast that the storm's gonna continue all night, and maybe even all day tomorrow!", Yuu cried.

"Aw, man! That sucks!", Benkei lamented, "We could be stuck here all night!"

As Madoka continued to slump down the wall further, she dreamed of the possibilities that she and Ginga could have if it all went well. In no time, she hit the floor, which woke her up from her daydreaming. She got up and brushed herself off, sighing that things might not go so well if she did tell Ginga. As usual, the doubt was setting in. Suddenly, another loud crack of thunder was heard as the house fell completely dark. She screamed, but suddenly felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around her waist and draw her close.

"It's okay, my dear Madoka. I'm here.", said an all-too familiar voice.

"G…Ginga? Is that you?", she asked as she felt the arms wrap around her tighter.

"Yeah, it's me. I didn't expect you to come down here, though.", he chuckled.

"Did you…call me 'dear Madoka'?", she questioned him, completely stunned at his sudden show of affection and caring.

"Yeah. Listen Madoka, there's something I need to tell you, but it's not exactly easy for me to say.", he explained.

"W-what is it?", she asked as her heart was almost ready to burst.

"Every since we met, you were always so kind to me, and I guess after a while I grew to understand why.", he told her.

"Why's that?", she asked with baited breath.

"It's because you love me.", he smirked, "And guess what? I love you too."

He then slowly leaned his face closer to hers as they pressed their lips together in a soft but passionate kiss. Madoka melted in Ginga's arms as she lost herself in the pleasure of this moment. Ginga too was lost in the pleasure as he placed his hands down on her waist, feeling her curves along her hips. She placed her hands on Ginga's strong shoulders, and as their lips parted, she rested her head against his chest, once again listening to his heartbeat.

"You know what we're gonna do next?", he slyly asked her.

"What?", she swooned.

"Something very special. Something you and I will never forget.", he revealed.

"G-Ginga! I'm not ready for that!", she scolded.

"Relax, I wasn't talking about that sort of thing! What I have in mind is much more special.", he winked. And even in the dark, she could see the smile on his face…
