Hello eveyone! Here's another chapter (rather short I'd say) I'm thinking about switching the rating up, just in case.
Hope you enjoy.
The smell of fried eggs is filling the house.
The early sun light shines through the living room windows, giving the place a warm feeling.
As soon as the rice is ready, I set a small tray and head upstairs.
Aside from my steps, everything is silent. Nanako is at school and Dojima's gone to work.
I carefully open my room's door and head inside.
In the near complete darkness I manage to reach the table without tripping.
A small figure is moving at the end of the room.
A sleepy Naoto comes out of the futon just as I put the tray next to her.
"Mmm, what's this?"
"Breakfast. Good morning."
The girl slowly sits down, covering her mouth while letting out a small yawn.
"You shouldn't have..."
I smile, taking a cup of rice and sitting next to her.
"Did you sleep well?" I ask.
Naoto nods, sipping her miso soup.
"Feeling your warmth after so many months was...calming"
I blush a bit, then gently caress her arm.
"Nanako and Dojima-san?"
"They're gone" I answer "Nanako's doing some sort of school project, she's really excited about it."
"I see"
The Detective Prince leans towards me, resting her back on me.
"When do you have to leave again?"
"Tomorrow. The examinations start before Christmas holidays."
I can only see the back of her head, but I can tell Naoto is upset.
"I'll probably come back in time for Christmas Eve, you know."
Her shoulders relax once more.
"I see, that's good."
"We can have a date and go celebrate."
"Well I d-didn't mean to...ehm..."
"You don't want to?"
Naoto turns her face, staring at me.
I make puppy eyes and smile.
The girl blushes, grabbing my hand.
"I would love to."
We quietly eat our breakfast, the Detective Prince resting between my arms.
"Man, I could get used to this." I say, while putting back the cup on the tray.
"Next time, I'll be the one waking you up."
Naoto stands up, only to turn and lay on me again.
She gently grabs my face and kisses me softly.
I embrace her and bite her lip.
We start kissing faster. Naoto throws her arms around my neck and pushes herself on me.
I lay on the futon, the light weight of my girlfriend on top of me. Chest against chest, I can feel her heart beating furiously. Still kissing, I try sneaking an hand under her shirt.
Pi pi pi
Naoto jumps in surprise and moves away from me.
Pi pi pi
My phone is angrily ringing.
Who the hell is it? I think, searching for the phone with my hand.
"Hi, Yu, it's me Yosuke" the relaxed voice of my 'partner' fills my ear.
"How ya doin'?"
"Pretty good until now" I joke, collecting the cups and moving the tray on the desk next to my sofa.
"Ah ah, did I interrupt something?"
"Something like that. What is it?"
"Nothing really. It's just that I wanted to see you before you head back to the city. Wanna hit the riverbank today?"
I sit on the sofa, next to a completely red Naoto.
"I think I'll have to call you later. I'm not sure I'm free today."
I quickly end the conversation with Yosuke, then turn to the Detective Prince.
"It was Yosuke" I explain "he wanted to see me before I leave."
"I-I see."
"How about your report? I could help you finish it and spend the day together. I can still see Yosuke tomorrow morning."
"I'm sorry, but the report is confidential. I'll have to write it myself. Don't worry, I'll see you tomorrow at the station."
I smile, then kiss her cheek.
"Very well. I'll try to get the marriage paper before evening, okay?"
Naoto blushes, then nods.
"I think it's appropriate."
She smiles to me, then stands up.
"I'll go wash myself. I want to start that report as soon as possible."
