For the first time since my transfer to Uranohoshi, I had a good night's sleep. I smiled at the thought, looking back at last night.
"Any reason you're calling this late?"
"I just… wanted to hear your voice before bed." I gripped my phone, hoping she thought I wasn't some spoiled girl. I heard a laugh on the other line.
"I'm glad my voice puts you at ease, really." I smiled softly, blushing. "So… will you keep your word? You won't hurt yourself tonight?" I cringed. I looked at my right hand.
"Yes, I'll keep my word. No, I won't hurt myself tonight."
"…Good. In that case, I'll be able to sleep, as well." That made me smile.
"Arigatogozaimasu, Dia-san."
She stayed on the phone with me, till I fell asleep that night. She talked about her younger sister, Ruby-chan, and sent me a photo of her from when they were little. It's nice that she goes to the same school as us. I hope… I hope I'm not taking Ruby-chan's big sister away from her.
I'm making so many friends already, and it hasn't even been a week.
Well, you'll lose those friends eventually, once they find out about your gross habit of messing with your hands.
Why do you always do this?!
I'm just being real. No matter how far you are from Tokyo, from Otonokizaka, that fear will stick with you. That paralyzing fear.
I… I…
You're lucky you managed to sleep last night. If that Kurosawa girl hadn't butt in, you would have been putty in my hands!
"Well, not today…" I looked over at the medicine bottle on my nightstand. "I won't let you have your way again."
"Good morning!"
"Morning!"
Girls passed by me as I entered the gates, being careful not to trip this time. Satisfied, I stepped forward.
"Riko-san." I look to my left to see Dia-san, underneath that same tree. I grinned and quickly paced to her, jumping in her arms. She laughed, caressing my hair. "What's up?" I shook my head in her chest. I looked up at her.
"I'm just… so happy to see you." She looked down at me, with an endearing smile.
"Why don't we head inside?" I nodded, feeling her hand clasp in my own. She pulled me along before I was walking alongside her. She led me into the restroom. No one was inside, but us. Dia-san took this chance to push me into a stall, quietly shutting the door. It was so tight in there, I could barely move.
"D-Dia-san…" She held my hand, guiding it to her chest. I flinched at the thumping that hit against my palm.
"My heart is racing; can't you tell?" she whispered. My breath hitched as she gently nipped my ear. I bit down on my lip to silence my reaction. I jumped at the sensation of her hand on my chest. "Yours is just as bad. Are you… feeling something right now…?"
"N-No…" She leaned away from my ear, and stared into my eyes. She lifted my chin with two of her fingers, before bringing my lips to touch her own. They were incredibly soft.
Ahh, this feels so good…
I felt her tongue slightly prod at my upper lip. I opened my mouth a bit wider to allow her tongue inside. I could hear our quiet moans throughout the small space.
A few minutes of kissing, and she pulled away.
"Don't lie," she whispered sternly. "If you're still insisting, then…" she glance down at my skirt. "I may have to check for myself." I shook my head.
"Please…"
"Please, what?"
"Don't…" Why won't my heart rate go down?!
"Riko-san… I can hear your heartbeat, even from here." She slowly brought her hand down south of my body. "You're resisting, but…" I felt her hand gently caress my private area. "Heh, your body is certainly responding; very well, I might add." She poked two fingers outside my underwear before gently rubbing.
"Mmm…" I reached my hand up to my lips, biting down on my finger.
"Nee… Say my name."
"Eh?" Through my half-lidded eyes, I could see her smile.
"Say my name. Call for me, Riko-san." She rubbed harder on my underwear. "I want to hear your voice."
"D-Dia-san…" I mumbled.
"Mm? I didn't quite hear that," she teased. I felt her hand slide inside my underwear. Her fingers poked at my clit.
"Ah! D-Dia-san…!" I squeaked. She chuckled.
"More."
"Di-a-sann…" My legs trembled as I felt her fingers run across my wet slit. She breathed heavily.
"See? What did I tell you? Your body…" She slips her finger inside me. "wants me…"
"Ahh!" My moaning just made me more soaked with every poke of her fingers inside me. "Ah, ah…! Dia-san…! It… feels so good."
"I'm glad." She thrust her fingers in and out of my pussy. "Let's see how long you last, hm?" Just then, we could hear footsteps coming into the restroom. She gasped, and pulled out of me. She brought her hand up, parting her fingers. I blushed at the sight of the clear, sticky liquid. I parted my lips a bit. She slipped those fingers into my mouth. I moaned quietly at the contact, tasting her fingertips that were soaked with my lust. "You're so cute…" she mouthed. She kissed my forehead, before slipping her fingers out of my mouth. She glanced behind her, smirking. The girls from earlier had left. She put a finger up to her lips. "Shh…" She winked. I quietly whined, grabbing her hand, and bringing it back down to my pussy. "Hehe, oh, Riko-san…" She pecked my cheek. "You want more? Until you finish?" I gave an eager nod.
"P-Please, don't stop…" She smiled endearingly.
"I'll make you cum, just as you wish…" She forcefully thrusted her fingers back into my pussy, and it took everything I had not to scream.
"Ahh! Hnngh…" I forced my hands onto her shoulders, my legs trembling.
"Hmm? How does it feel?" she whispered huskily. "Tell me."
"It… feels… amazing…"
I was a mess. My cheeks were flushed, and I couldn't stop the faint moans that left my lips. I dug my nails into Dia-san's shoulders. Her thrusting was getting harder and faster as her fingertips flicked my hard clit. I whimpered.
"Hm? Are you almost there?" I wordlessly nodded. "Good. Let me hear you when you cum." She leaned in and propped her chin on my shoulder. I turned to her ear, and let her hear my moans. Her breathing was getting heavier and heavier.
"Ahh, I-I'm…!"
"Go ahead," she breathed. "Cum for me, let it all out." She thrusted her fingers faster and faster till I convulsed, letting all my juices burst onto her fingers. I squealed, breathing heavily. She slowly pulled her fingers out, and grabbed a bit of toilet paper. She wiped her fingers free of the liquid, as I calmed down from my climax. I rested my head on her shoulder, tired. The next second, the first bell of the school day, rang out. Dia-san brought a hand to my cheek, pecking my lips "Shall we get going?"
I gave a tired nod. She laughed, and pecked my forehead. We got ourselves together, before finally exiting the restroom.
"Can you give me your hands?"
"Eh?" Dia-san smiled.
"Just trust me." I held my hands out to her. She took them, and gripped tightly. She kissed the back of my left hand. I blushed, as she took something from out of her schoolbag. Red and sakura pink scrunchies. Both of them had polka dots. She slipped the sakura pink scrunchy onto her right wrist, and took my right wrist before putting the red one on me. I looked up to meet her eyes as she smiled.
"What are these for…?"
"Before you feel like hurting yourself… think of me. Please, don't ever take that off. Know that I'll be there. Know that I am here." She pulled me close before kissing my forehead. I returned her embrace. "Riko-san… I'm glad you've made some friends during your time at Uranohoshi. I couldn't be happier. Forgive me if this sounds selfish, but… I want you to rely on me when you need someone." No sobs left my lips, but I let a single tear roll down my cheek. "I want to be here for you. Always."
"… Thank you." I sniffed. I looked up at her, gazing into her emerald eyes. I smiled softly before reaching my lips up to hers. She pulled away, looking down on me.
"I suppose… we're together, now, aren't we?" I blushed.
"I suppose we are." Dia-san gave a soft smile.
"Wouldn't have it any other way." I laughed.
"Me, neither."
"Riko-san…"
"Dia-san…"
We placed one last kiss to each others' lips. The same thing was written in our hearts and minds.
I love you.
"A photo?"
"Mm-hmm!" I pulled out my phone. "Is that okay?" She gave a smile, pulling me close.
"Of course." She kissed my temple, pulling my waist closer to her. I held my phone out, preparing to take the photo. I gave a smile, and right as I clicked the camera, I felt Dia-san's lips in my hair. I laughed, closing my eye, flinching a bit. I leaned onto her body as she laughed. "Caught you off guard, I suppose."
"Heh, you sure did!" I selected the photo from my phone. Seeing it, I couldn't help the grin that curved my lips. Dia-san smiled softly.
"I love it," she whispered. "Can you send it to me?" I nodded. Within seconds, I sent her the photo. She gave a smile before placing a kiss in my hair. Pulling me close, she walks alongside me, as we exit through the gates of the school.
"I'm home, Mama!" I called out into the house. "You home?" I slipped my shoes off at the entryway.
"Yes, I'm home, Riko! Welcome back!" Mama came into the hallway, slipping her apron on. "You wanna help me out in the kitchen? We're having gyoza and fried rice for dinner." I smiled, moistening my lips.
"Sure! Sounds delicious!"
Some time later, Mama and I finished up preparing everything for dinner. I set the table for two. Mama set the plates of gyoza and bowls of fried rice. We sat at the table before putting our hands together.
"Itadakimasu."
We silently ate for a few minutes before Mama spoke up.
"So, are you enjoying your new school?" I nodded before swallowing a spoonful of fried rice.
"Um, Mama… this may be a little sudden, but… I…"
"Mm?"
"I… have… I have a girlfriend." She smiled softly.
"Who is she?" I shyly slipped my phone from my pocket, went through my phone, and showed Mama the photo that Dia-san and I took earlier. Mama smiled. "She's beautiful. You're both so cute!" she complimented. I giggled, blushing. "What's her name?"
"Kurosawa Dia-san." I peered down, not meeting my mother's eyes. "I know I should have taken a little more time to recover from—"
"Riko, she has nothing to do with this."
"Natsume-chan… she…"
"I've told you time and time again, Riko, what happened between the two of you was not your fault." Mama lent a smile. "Just love what you have with Dia-chan right now, okay?" She gave a wink, and I smiled.
"Arigato, Mama."
"You have my full support." I nodded. "You should bring her over sometime. It doesn't have to be right away." I chuckled.
"Yeah, I'll let her know."
"I see."
"She's really excited to meet you!" I laughed. Dia-san laughed through the line. "How did things go with your Mom?"
"Same result as you. She really wants to meet you." I giggled.
"It's great that our families support us, huh?"
"Mm-hmm." I ran my fingers across the scrunchy she gave me.
"Nee, are you wearing it right now?"
"Mm? Oh, the scrunchy. Yes, I have it on my wrist." I smiled wide. I laid back onto my pillow.
"That's good. I still have it, as well."
"I wish I could kiss you good night, honestly." I giggled.
"Silly, we'll see each other tomorrow." Dia-san chuckled.
"Right."
"Dia-san. I love you."
"I love you, too, Riko-san." I heard her yawn. "Sorry, it's late. I'm gonna get to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow." I gripped my phone, not wanting to hang up. But, I grinned and bared it.
"Good night, Dia-san. Rest well tonight."
"You, too."
The next morning, I made my way over to the school gates, seeing Dia-san underneath the same tree that we're always at. I smiled, seeing her. She turned her head to me, and waved. I waved back and was about to step over to her when someone stepped in front of me.
It was a face I remembered all too well.
"Hey, Riko. Sure has been a while…" The girl before me smiled. I stopped in my tracks.
"Natsume…chan?"
Amamura Natsume. Not only did she go to Otonokizaka with me, but…
She was also my ex-girlfriend.
