Chapter 2: More than friends, but by how much?

Natsuki sighed in a bored fashion and fidgeted in her seat. She glanced to her side, noticing Shizuru who was the exact opposite of her.

Natsuki had joined Shizuru for an evening to the opera, and as Natsuki was on the verge of falling asleep, despite the ridiculous pitches that the singers were using, Shizuru was enjoying the music and wide awake to boot.

Finally, thought Natsuki as the curtains closed and the audience politely applauded. Natsuki was in one of the VIP booths, considering her rich best friend Shizuru owned the booth and was a regular to the opera.

Shizuru giggled at her friend when Natsuki had sighed in relief of the performance being over.

Natsuki in turn glared at her friend, in a friendly way, and turned for the exit.

Now was the socializing part of the evening, ooh how FUN!

Natsuki played her part as escort to her friend of the evening, or date you could call it. Shizuru talked about the brilliance of the fourth act with an elderly couple who appeared of high-importance.

"Natsuki, really, you are so impatient," Shizuru let out an amused chuckle at her friend after the elderly couple took their leave. She loved how Natsuki looked so adorable when bored.

"No offence, but that was boring," Natsuki grumbled. Shizuru playfully hit her shoulder and pouted and they both shared a laugh.



Natsuki currently had a glass of wine in one hand, and her other hand on the lower back of Shizuru. They looked like a couple, but were they?

Shizuru sipped her own wine and noticed out of her eye, Mai and... Was that Reito?

"Natsuki," she whispered and nudged in the direction.

Natsuki immediately blushed and removed her hand from her friend's comfortable back, and turned to face the other way trying to hide.

Shizuru laughed a little at the behaviour, but found herself oddly disappointed...

"Ara, Mai-chan! Reito-chan!" Shizuru exclaimed loud enough for them to hear and waived them over.

Mai and Reito turned around looking shocked, and Shizuru noticed them both flush a little before walking over and returning her smile.

"Shizuru, what bring you here?" Reito asked with his happy smile.

"Same as you I assume, to watch the opera. I dragged Natsuki along with me."

Natsuki turned around after having controlled her blush.

"Natsuki? At an opera?" Mai tried really hard not to burst out laughing and Natsuki's blush returned full-force.

"Shutup Mai." Reito and Shizuru joined in the giggling.

Natsuki took a larger sip of her wine and her blush died off, she continued to let her best friends giggle off at her expense.

"Kruger-san?" Natsuki turned to the voice that called on her and she was greeted with her date from a few weeks ago, Kaname Soru.

"Soru-san," Natsuki felt a little awkward seeing her last date since they had decided on another date if they met, but Kaname never called her to say she got 

back. Not to mention that the night after their date, she kind of went up to Shizuru's apartment...and you know...had sex with her...

Mai, Reito, and Shizuru had stopped their giggling and paid attention to the new arrival.

"Ah, forgive my rudeness; these are my best friends, Reito Kanzaki, Mai Tokiha, and Shizuru Viola."

"Nice to meet you, I am Kaname Soru. How did you all find the opera?"

Kaname looked at the friends of Natsuki; they were all very pretty people. The man Reito would be her dream guy if she was into men, the girl Mai was simply astonishing, the other one Shizuru was breathtaking, and Natsuki... Natsuki was damn sexy.

"It was okay, not the best," Reito stated.

"I think it was a little too long, but on the whole marvellous" Mai said, with Shizuru agreeing.

"It was a waste of time." Natsuki muttered causing Kaname to giggle.

Shizuru was getting a little jealous. This Kaname girl obviously had a thing for Natsuki. She recognized Kaname as the one that Natsuki had the date with before they had sex, and she recognized her as the pretty news anchorwoman on TV.

She looked Kaname up and down. Kaname seemed to be a goody-goody, and was an attractive woman. She had shoulder-length brown hair, and nice gold eyes.

Shizuru usually would have made a move on a woman like her, but she made none. She just sipped her wine, wishing to leave all of a sudden to have sex with Natsuki again.

Natsuki blushed a little at having caused the girl to giggle.

"You look nice tonight, Soru-san. Did you come alone?" Natsuki was just being a charming conversationalist.



Kaname smiled at the question and flushed from the compliment, oblivious to Shizuru's tightened grip on her glass.

"No, actually, I came with a friend. She just went outside to tell the valet to get her car."

Natsuki nodded.

"Sorry I was about to call you to get together, I only got back a couple days ago."

Natsuki gave her a smile, "That's fine. I hope to see you around, then."

Kaname gave her wave before leaving the quartet to themselves.

You see, Kaname had actually forgotten about Natsuki. But seeing her here tonight, and so very hot to boot, she would make a nice date. Kaname retrieved her coat from the check-in and went out the doors to meet her friend Nao, who she had secret attraction towards. Nothing too serious...right? And a date with the charming Dr. Natsuki Kruger could help her overcome those feelings, surely.

"Natsuki, that girl totally likes you." Natsuki flushed as Mai teased her. She tried to make eye contact with Shizuru, but Shizuru was faced away. Did Shizuru not care if someone else liked her? She felt a little hurt at that thought.

Now, since the night that Natsuki and Shizuru had had sex, they didn't say anything official about their relationship. Natsuki remembered Shizuru admitting that she didn't have time for something like that before, and Shizuru was a playgirl. To Shizuru, so was Natsuki. So maybe Shizuru assumed it was sex-only relationship?

Then were they only friends with benefits? Fuckbuddies? Nothing more?

They still acted the same, maybe hung out a bit more with each other than they did with Reito and Mai, but they acted the same. Only then they would go and have hot sex as well.

Natsuki was aware that she was starting to have feelings for the girl, considering she lately only ever thought about Shizuru, and couldn't bring herself to have sex 

with anyone else. Let alone notice anyone else. She was also oblivious to the fact that she unintentionally made a future date with Kaname. Oh, Natsuki can be a little dumb sometimes...

Shizuru was in the same dilemma, unbeknownst to Natsuki. She was developing feelings for her dark-haired best friend, and since she slept with her, had not slept or gone on any dates with other girls. But, how did Natsuki feel?

After the opera, the quartet had gone to the Starry Night Hotel to chat in the bar over some drinks.

After friendly chatter, Natsuki and Shizuru left one way, while as usual, Reito and Mai another.

After some distance away from Natsuki and Shizuru, Mai grabbed onto Reito's arm.

Reito smiled as his girlfriend clung to him, he loved it when she did that.

"Mai, that was rather awkward, don't you think?"

Mai giggled at her boyfriend, completely agreeing to his sentiments.

They actually had not told Natsuki and Shizuru of their relationship... finding it hard to admit. They might make their friends feel uncomfortable, after all.

"You know Reito, maybe we should tell them."

"I suppose you're right." Reito chuckled at his lovely doctor of a girlfriend. He felt so happy when he was with her.

"How about you come over?" Mai gave him a wink.

Reito blushed from her behaviour, but hey, he wasn't going to disagree.



At Mai's place...

"Mai?"

"Yeah?" Mai answered from her kitchen.

"I love you." Reito had never said it before, neither had Mai. But he just couldn't help himself anymore. He really did love her with all his heart.

He heard dead silence, and then saw Mai emerge from the kitchen with her jaw-dropped.

"S-Sorry?" Mai was a little shocked.

Reito couldn't help but find her face adorable, even though he was afraid of her answer.

"I...I really love you, Mai" Mai had tears come from her eyes and she hugged Reito with force.

"I love you too Reito, so much."

Oi, was Reito in for a nice night.

Natsuki invited Shizuru into her apartment. She got Shizuru some water before letting her body fall onto the couch.

"Thanks," Shizuru sipped the water, and watched Natsuki who had her eyes closed, her gaze never leaving the face of her friend.

She studied the lips, and despite having water in her mouth, she felt her throat go dry.



She gently placed down her glass on the coffee table and moved to her best friend.

Shizuru moved a little closer, she was being extremely quiet and Natsuki still had her eyes closed.

Shizuru very gently kissed her friend. Natsuki slowly opened her eyes and when she realised Shizuru was kissing her she smiled into the kiss and kissed her back.

Shizuru giggled and licked Natsuki's lips before frenching her like there was no tomorrow.

Natsuki was a little surprised from the intensity of the kiss, but happy since it felt so damn good.

Suddenly, Natsuki forgot about everything and all her brain could function was Shizuru.

Shizuru sighed as Natsuki encircled her waist and pulled her closer. This felt so good, so much better than she remembered.

They broke the kiss and Shizuru got up, giving Natsuki a flirtatious wink before going to the bedroom.

Natsuki watched Shizuru walk into the bedroom and eagerly followed her, after taking a gulp of water from the glass nearby first, of course.

Many athletes knew it was important to be properly hydrated before physical activity.

As Natsuki entered the bedroom, she saw Shizuru taking off her earrings.

"Here, let me," she whispered into Shizuru's ear before gently removing her expensive and large jewellery. She herself only had diamond studs and didn't bother taking those off.



Natsuki went to the back of Shizuru's dress, and felt the skin that was revealed. She undid the zipper and let the dress fall, hungrily taking in the sight of Shizuru in only her underwear.

Natsuki never felt like this when she had had sex with anyone else before, and although she had seen Shizuru naked before, her heart always raced when she touched her. Shizuru brought out new feeling inside of her, and she couldn't deny how happy she felt at the moment.

Shizuru slowly pulled off Natsuki's own dress, and smiled as she slowly pushed her onto the bed. Natsuki was so amazing. Shizuru could feel warmth in heart every time they did it, and that feeling went beyond lust. She just couldn't explain it.

Maybe it was because they were also best friends? But no, there was something more. Shizuru got jealous today over another girl for instance, and she never got jealous.

The thought of Kaname ignited a fire in Shizuru and she assaulted the lips of Natsuki.

Natsuki moaned and held Shizuru closer, entangling her hands in the hair of her friend... or more than friend...

Shizuru was already aroused, and started kissing her Natsuki's neck. Her Natsuki. That sounded good.

Natsuki moaned and let her hands squeeze Shizuru's lovely bum. She had a sudden fire flare inside her eyes, and rolled Shizuru over.

Natsuki ran her right hand down Shizuru's side to her left thigh. Natsuki really loved Shizuru's thighs.

Shizuru continued kissing Natsuki's neck from beneath her, until she felt Natsuki grind against her, because then she moaned allowing Natsuki's neck to be free.

Natsuki continued rocking, and Shizuru moved back. They found each other's lips and tried kissing when they could. Natsuki unclasped Shizuru's bra while they rubbed together.



After they had a small climax, Shizuru rolled Natsuki back over and her bra came off. She took off Natsuki's bra to equal their state of dress, and kissed her neck while giving Natsuki's breasts the time of their lives.

Natsuki shut her eyes and enjoyed the feeling. She embraced Shizuru, and Shizuru stopped the work on her breasts to embrace her back, and they shared another kiss.

Natsuki rolled Shizuru back over and kissed her way down the lovely body, she stopped at the navel and gave the belly button a nice tickle. She moved back up, pushing Shizuru to a sitting s position against the headboard of the bed.

She started kissing her again, Shizuru rubbed her chest, and Natsuki moved her hands towards the panties.

Natsuki kissed her way back down and swiftly pulled off Shizuru's lacy underwear.

Shizuru watched in anticipation as Natsuki lowered her head to Shizuru's wet area. Natsuki kissed her inner thigh while lifting Shizuru's legs over her shoulders.

Shizuru let Natsuki's tongue enter and thrust; she moaned and put her hands on Natsuki's head, urging her to go in harder and faster.

Natsuki went full force, her tongue moving fast and everywhere it could, she was in fucking heaven.

She felt Shizuru grab her head and urge it. Shizuru let out the noise of her orgasm that Natsuki never grew tired of, and she slowly removed herself and licked her lips like she just had a lovely meal.

As soon as she sat up, she was pushed down by Shizuru, lying in the bed the wrong way.

Shizuru was breathing heavy and pulled Natsuki's panties off, before thrusting a finger into her.



Natsuki was caught a little off guard, but she quickly realised what was happening and moaned as Shizuru's pace picked up.

They were both sweating, and Shizuru added in another finger while also bending down to kiss Natsuki on her jaw line.

Natsuki let out her moans and reached her climax.

Shizuru fell beside her and they both breathed heavily in the after math.

Shizuru looked at Natsuki from the side, and felt admiration pour through her body.

Eventually Natsuki turned to her and gave her a smile, which she returned.

Natsuki gave her a nice long and tender kiss, maybe as a thank-you? Shizuru hoped it wasn't, she found herself hoping Natsuki had developed feelings for her.

Natsuki picked Shizuru up and moved them so they were under the bed covers, laying the right way. Shizuru moved into her for a cuddle, and she let her cuddle.

They slept almost instantly, considering that they had been up since early hours of the day for work, then Natsuki had gone to Shizuru's place at lunch and they had sex, gone back to work, gone out for the opera and stayed up late. And then just had another round of sex.

So, they were tired.

A/N hope everyone likes Mai/Reito pairing, personally, I do so I hope it ok with everyone else. Natsuki and Shizuru are developing feeling beyond lust :D

Please let me know what you thought, I was especially nervous about writing the sex scene, considering it was my first ever, hope it was okay!
