Hey it's Luka with another short installment~ Ah, I realized that I made Tomoe waaaaaaaay OOC...and I'm sorry about that. Sigh, every time I tried to get into his character I flipped a table...so I just wrote it how I normally would and it turned out like this. I hope that it's still enjoyable though c:
A few weeks have passed now, I've been spending more time with Mizuki recently. It feels strange…to always be around someone.
Nanami has been helping me as well, her advice continues to guide me and I've started to realize that I truly do like Mizuki. I never thought that I could fall so easily though, I've been alone for so long I don't recognize these feelings.
Mizuki looks over at me his eyes halfway closed "Tomoe-chan?" he asks. I snap out of my thoughts and return my attention to him "Yes?" I ask. He smiles "I just wanted to say I'm glad you've been spending so much time with me. I appreciate it." He murmurs.
I feel my face heat up, I recognize this…is this how he feels around me? I nod not saying anything. Mizuki moves a bit closer his hand brushing over mine, my gut flips as I feel his lips against my cheek.
I look at him "Mizuki, I…I want to tell you something." I say. He brightens a little "Yes?" he asks. I clasp his hand in mine as we sit outside on the deck "I wanted to tell you that I like you too. I've thought about it and I wanted to make sure, that's why I've been spending so much time with you." I say quickly.
Mizuki sniffles his eyes suddenly filled with tears I rub my thumb across his cheek brushing away the tears confused "Are you okay? Why are you crying?" I ask. He smiles and tackles me my back hitting the deck a bit roughly.
I feel his arms holding me close to him as he trembles crying, his fingers gripping my kimono. I pet his hair awkwardly, my face flushed "Mizuki, get off of me…please." I say lightly pushing on his shoulders.
He sits up straddling my hips and wipes his eyes with a goofy grin "T-Tomoe…you don't know how happy that just made me. I like you so much!" he says with a soft hiccup.
I look up at him with a small smile gracing my lips; my heart thrums at a steady pace in my chest…like a weight has been lifted. I reach up for his face, my fingers caressing his skin as I pull him closer again my lips pressing to his for a moment before I pull away.
He looks shocked and his face goes red "Tomoe?" he asks brushing his lips curiously. He leans down our lips almost meeting again before Nanami comes bursting in with a super happy grin.
"Congratulations Tomoe, Mizuki!" she says blushing. I look up at her stupid expression and chuckle, she smiles again and Mizuki hops up off of me looking embarrassed. I stand up after him and Nanami wiggles her eyebrows.
"So~ should I leave you two lovers alone at the shrine tonight? I'm sure Kurama could shelter me for a night or two while you're on your honeymoon!" she says with a suggestive smirk.
I flick her nose "What are you implying?" I ask furiously, Mizuki laughs lightly at Nanami's suggestion. "Nanami-chan, I don't think we've progressed that far just yet…right now we should let things settle in." he says suddenly looping his arm around mine.
I blush my tail and ears twitching frenziedly "Exactly. We aren't like you humans…doing such vulgar things so early into the relationship." I say. Nanami smiles even more "You guys are so adorable!" she says.
I pull Mizuki away with me while she calls Kurama going on about being the 'Goddess of Love'. "She's crazy." I say with an annoyed look.
Mizuki giggles "But she's kind…I'm grateful." He says. He leans up and kisses my cheek again intertwining our fingers "Very grateful." He says.
