"So…" he shoved his hands deep in his pockets, "You wanna talk about your parents?" she blinked at him with her big eyes looking a bit sad.
"N-no." she stuttered, her voice cracking. Saki's bottom lip trembled slightly as she looked down at the floor. Kouta bent down so he was in the general area of where she was looking. She looked away, closing her eyes and turning her head. But he held her chin and turned her face back to look at him
"Saki look," he said, standing up straight again, "I know something's up, and the way that you look when you talk about my parents makes me really worry about you."
"K-Kouta." She whispered, and then pulled him into a tight hug. "I wanna tell you, really I do, but… I can't!" she sobbed into his neck, her tears soaking into his shirt.
"Why not?" she sniffled, and let out another sob
"Because my parents would kill me." Kouta wrapped one arm around her waist and held the back of her head.
"It's ok." He whispered in her ear, "I won't let them do anything to you." She looked up at him, with her head still rested on his shoulder. "I promise Saki."
Kouta leaned in and kissed her. He couldn't help it, she just looked so cute and sad. She gently kissed him back, standing up on her toes. For as long as he could remember, Kouta had a certain image of how his first kiss would be. He thought it would be passionate and heated, leading to sex. But when he kissed her, that all changed. Something in his brain clicked, and he knew. He knew why he couldn't get her out of his head, he knew why he was always nervous around her, and he knew why he wanted to help her so bad. Because he wanted her. She was the most perfect thing he could ever dream of, and he wanted her to be his. Saki pulled away and smiled a little. She took his hands and pulled him into the living room and sat on the couch.
He sat next to her and she immediately slipped her arms around his neck, bringing him in so she could kiss him again. Something inside her had clicked too. All her life her parents were never there, and never cared. And it killed her. But she never let her guard down, ever. And despite that, Kouta knew something was wrong. Most people dropped it when she said everything was fine and heightened her defenses and ran away. But not him. He ran after her and was persistent, he even said he would protect her. No one had done that. Her sister tried, but could never get Saki to feel ok. So she kissed him harder when he held her tightly against him.
That is until the doorbell rang.
They quickly pulled away from each other and looked at each other with wide eyes. Please, please, please let it be some charity worker! But it wasn't. Because they could hear the familiar background noise that was Akihisa. Shit! She didn't want to let go of him, and he felt the same. But if the door opened and Yoshii saw Kouta in her living room... even though he's an idiot he could still put two and two together. Saki sighed.
"Who is it?" she called
"Minami, open up!" the two of them panicked and stood up. All of their friends must've been there.
"Give me like two seconds!" she called back before pushing Kouta out into the hall. She opened the first door on the left, "Stay in my parents room until they leave, and don't make a sound." she whispered
"Ok." She turned around to leave, "Wait Saki!"
"What?!" he grabbed her waist and pulled her against him, kissing her for a few more seconds. They pulled away and looked at each other. "I'll be right back." she ran back to the front door and opened it, revealing Minami, Yoshii, Himeji, Yuji, and Hideyoshi, all standing on her front porch. "Hey guys what's up?"
"Not much, I was just throwing a party at my place. Wanna come?" Yoshii said, "It's gunna be pretty huge."
"Yes because you have such a colorful social life, Mr. Popular." Minami said rolling her eyes, "You coming or not, don't leave Hemeji and I alone with these idiots."
"Yeah, I'm coming. I'm just gunna get changed so you guys can come in if you want." She moved aside for them to come in. They all made themselves comfortable in her living room, which surprisingly fit everyone. Quickly, she turned on her heels to go down the hall
"Cool, but before we go back to my place we gotta go pick up Kouta, he lives like three blocks away so it wont take too long." Yoshii added. 'Seriously?!' she thought to herself, 'You say that now?!"
"'Kay." she quietly slipped into her parents room and saw Kouta still standing there, "Everyone's here." she said, "And Yoshii's having a party. After I'm done getting ready their going to pick you up."
"Well how do I get out of here?" he asked. She thought for a moment and then took his hand, quietly opening the door and pushing him down to the end of the hallway.
"My sisters room." she said, opening a door and pulling him in. "When we moved here she convinced my parents to get the room with the staircase that lead outside. That's how she snuck out and her boyfriends snuck in." she opened a door that was covered by a curtain, sure enough it led down to her back yard.
"Ok thanks." he said stepping out but then turning back to her, "One more thing."
"Yeah?" he pressed her against the door frame and kissed her one last time. She was a little caught off guard, but she melted into him, grabbing the collar of his shirt. Even though he didn't want to, he separated his lips from hers
"I'll see you later." he smiled before running down the stairs and quickly making his way over to his house. Saki made sure to take her time changing into her favorite black ripped shirt ( reviews/gothic-clothing-gothic-clothes-corsets-cor set-top?refItemId=AAAAATGbSq4AAAAAAtfxQA&fromStoreDomain= ) and black lace up combat boots that went to her shin before meeting her friends.
"Anyone know anything fun to do?" Hideyoshi sighed, "I'm bored."
"Let's play truth or dare!" Yoshii suggested
"Please the best things to do at a party is Marry, Fuck, Kill, and Seven Minutes in Heaven." Saki said rolling her eyes, "It's like truth or dare but takes less time and gets right to the point that truth or dare takes too long to get to." Yoshii cocked his head to the side
"And what would that point be?" Saki raised an eyebrow
"Seriously?" she asked. Yoshii nodded, earning another eye roll, "Ask Kouta." Everyone laughed at the 'Ask Kouta' part because it was so true. Saki and Kouta looked at each other, smiling and blushing
"Kouta what is she talking about?" He asked
Kouta sighed, "Come on." he said standing up and walking into the other room with Yoshii behind him. Everyone laughed a little.
"Anyway, how do play those games?" Himeji said still giggling
"Well..." Saki thought for a minute, "If we were playing Marry Fuck Kill, then I would ask you out of, say... Yuji, Hideyoshi, and Kouta, which one would you marry, which one would you fuck, and which one would you kill. But of course it's all completely hypothetical. Whereas with Seven Minutes In Heaven, everyone writes their name down on a slip of paper. You go up and pick a name, and go in the closet with them."
"Oh... that sounds fun." she said smiling
"It is. When the idiots get back we'll play." Minami said, "How about we do Marry Fuck Kill while two people play Seven minutes in heaven?"
"Ok, I'll write down everyone's name!"
By the time Kouta and Yoshii came back, there was a bowl with everyone's name written down on a small slip of paper inside and everyone was sitting in a circle. They established a couple of rules. If you picked someone of the same gender then you put the name back and pick again. Hideyoshii, however, counts for both genders. And instead of using a closet, they were using the spare bedroom. They set the bowl down in the middle of the circle. Yoshii went first since it was his house, and he picked Minami.
"Okay... um..." Yuji looked around at everybody, "Saki, Marry Fuck Kill Yoshii, Kouta, and Hideyoshi." everyone looked at her, making her blush
"Oh... um..." she looked down at her hands, "I guess I'd kill Yoshii, cuz he's an idiot. Um..." her face was burning now and she had a jumpy feeling in her stomach, "I guess fuck Hideyoshi so I can tell everyone what gender he is so we can all shut up about it. So then I'd marry Kouta..."
"Aw you two would be cute together." Himeji said sweetly. Saki's face became pure red while Kouta's was a light pink color
"You two should kiss." Hideyoshi said
"Shut up!" she whinned in a high pitched voice. Yoshii and Minami came back from and were filled in on what they missed, "Ok next person pick!" she said desperately trying to change the subject.
"You should go, Saki, since you thought of the games." Yoshii 'innocently' suggested. She glared at him and went over to the bowl.
"I hate you." she muttered. Saki shoved her hand in the bowl and felt around until she picked one. Slowly, she opened it and read the name. Seriously, she thought, I'm gunna get hell for this...
"Who'd you get?" Minami asked looking over her shoulder. Saki quickly folded it back up and looked at her friend
"Guess."
"Hm... Yuji?"
"Nope!" Saki shook her head. When neither of them were looking, Hideyoshii came and snatched the slip of paper out of her hand, "Give it back!" she yelled. But Hideyoshii stood on the couch and opened the slip of paper. "Hideyoshii!" she yelled
"She got Kouta." everyone, but them, laughed
"It's meant to be!" they sang and Saki grabbed his hand and dragged him to the spare bedroom. When she closed the door, he leaned his hands on the door, one on either side of her head
"Hi." he said, with a small smile
"Hi." she giggled. Little did they know that on the other side of the door, everyone was leaning against the wall listening to every word and every movement
"You know something?" she shook her head. Kouta leaned his forehead against hers, "You're really cute when you giggle." he said. She giggled again and wrapped her arms around his neck
"Come on, we only have seven minutes."
He moved his hands to her waist, pressing her against the door and kissed her softly. Saki would've given anything at that moment to be back at her house with him. Yes, the party was super fun and she loved them, but the whole time all she wanted to do was kiss him. All night she couldn't stop looking at him, and thinking about him, and everything, it was driving her up the wall. She was one hour away from tackling him in front of every one and kissing him right on the spot. But thank god she suggested Seven minutes in heaven. Kouta laced his fingers in hers, pulling her over to the bed and sitting down. She sat next to him and laid down.
"I wish we had more time." he said lying next to her
"Me too." she pouted, "But it is Friday so we have the whole weekend." he smiled and moved some of her hair out of her face
"Good." he said.
Kouta took her waist and pulled her closer to him, though he accidentally pulled her on top of him. She smiled and kissed him, running her hands through his hair. He slowly ran his hands up and down her sides, giving her chills. She slipped her hands under his shirt, slipping it off over his head. A shudder was sent up his spine as he took her waist and flipped her over so he was on top.
"You know," Saki said smiling, "Minami told me you were a jock." She grabbed his soulders and pulled him down to there were only centimeters between their faces. "And it shows."
"Is that a good thing?" He asked, receiving a laugh
"Yes." She said. He closed the gap between their faces by kissing her. She melted into him, glad she was laying down because if she was standing, her knees would have given out. Outside the door everyones jaw dropped. Had he seriously not passed out yet? After all, it was Kouta for gods sakes! He got a nosebleed from just looking at a girl. And yet, he was in there, making out with her, and was perfectly fine. The timer that they had set in the living room went off and they all scrambled back before they could be heard. "Seven minutes." She pouted. Kouta kissed her again "What about the weekend?" He asked, standing up and putting his shirt back on, "Anyway ive been meaning to ask you, what are we going to tell everyone?" Saki thought for a moment, "Nothing. Let them find it out. And it'll be fun, sneaking around, hooking up in the janitors closet." She knelled on the bed and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Interested?" "Ok." He kissed her the last time and them picked her up by the waist and set her down on her feet, "Lets go."
