Shatter - Chapter 6

Konoka watched the sunlight streaming in through the kitchen window hit the tiled floor as she carefully swallowed a mouthful of medication. On said floor, curled up in the square of sunlight and soaking up the heat, was a purring Viper, her cat.

She slowly drank the rest of the water, as her mind thought idle thoughts. Just watching her cat nap in the sunlight was making her sleepy herself, despite her full eight hours of sleep last night.

Replacing the covers on her pill bottles, she tossed them back into the cupboard and closed the door.

`You're such a lazy cat now, Viper." Konoka said quietly. "Guess that's what happens when you live such a pampered life."

Hearing his name, the cat slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her, before meowing softly and stretching. Konoka smiled as his claws came out and his tail twitched sporadically, before he stood up, arched his back, then laid right back down.

"Lucky cat." She said softly.

Konoka set her empty glass down in the sink, and yawned. A shower was in prompt order, she decided, then, she would see what Asakura was up to. Last night she had hinted at some sort of activity, and it had caught Konoka's interest.

She headed toward the stairs leading to the bathroom, excited at the prospect of going somewhere other than to her basement room.

Setsuna yawned as she slowly awoke, buried under two blankets and the most comfortable white duvet she had ever encountered. She was resting on a mountain of at least six fluffy white pillows, and was quite content with the fortress of comfort she was currently residing in.

It helped that she was sleeping completely naked.

Grinning to herself, one hand snuck out from under the blankets to feel for the bedside table where her phone was sitting, charging. She had heard it go off a few hours ago, but had been too lazy to answer it. She took her days off very seriously, after all. Rest days were to be taken just as seriously as any work day.

She found the phone, and deftly unplugged it with her one hand. Pulling it under the blankets, she idly wondered who dared to disturb her slumber.

Two texts and a missed phone call. Setsuna hummed softly, and checked the caller. Unknown number.

Not important.

Phone still in her left hand, eyes narrowed against the bright light in the blackness of her sanctuary, her right hand slowly trailed down her bare, taut stomach to her hips. Lazily tracing random patterns on her skin, she checked the texts.

Hey. I happen to know that you don't work today, so we could hang out some time today and get lunch or something. Let me know.

That was from Aaron. Poor kid thought he was clever, Setsuna thought idly. He was in charge of making the work schedules, he damn well better know when her days off were. Deciding to fully ignore it, she deleted the text before moving on.

Co-workers never seemed to understand. She gave out her cell number for work-related purposes only. Not so everyone who thought they had a shot with her could annoy the hell out of her.

The next text message was much more inviting.

I know last week you mentioned your work schedule in passing, and I'm pretty sure you have today off, but just let me know for sure if you do or not, and if you feel like hanging out or something. I'm free all day.

That one was from Asuna, a good friend who didn't even actually live in this town. She was about a half hour away, in another town close by. Setsuna had lived there a couple years ago and met the girl under pretty odd circumstances. They had been friends ever since.

"Yeah, it's been a few weeks since I've seen her. Might as well go hang out." Setsuna mumbled to herself. Setting her phone down, she closed her eyes and turned onto her stomach. After a few more minutes of delicious warm sleep...

Setsuna giggled as she was pushed onto the bed, darkness hiding the grin on her face.

"Shh, you don't want to get caught, do you?"

Setsuna shrugged. "You know, the risk is part of the excitement, isn't it?"

"Maybe for you..." The girl teased.

Setsuna said nothing, and allowed the girl to slide into her lap. Setsuna slipped her arms around the girl's waist, and held onto her tightly as the girl began gently kissing her neck.

A soft moan, a hushed whisper, and soon Setsuna could feel her shirt being tugged off. Reaching up, she pulled her hair out of her ponytail so her shirt would come off easier.

It hit the floor somewhere; neither cared where, and her bra soon followed as it was torn off in a hurry.

Setsuna allowed herself to be pushed down onto her stomach, and she moaned softly when she felt warm hands upon her back, kneading and massaging her muscles.

A few seconds later and the girl's lips joined her hands, slowly and softly kissing every inch of her body, from her neck and throat, to her lower back near the waistband of her jeans.

Setsuna gasped, and tried not to moan too loudly as the girl bit her sharply on the hip.

"What the..." Setsuna slowly turned half over, so she could look over her shoulder at the girl.

The girl grinned, and grabbed her hips. She gently turned Setsuna over so she was laying on her back now, and moved back on top of her.

"We're gonna have one hell of a night, I promise you that..." The girl breathed softly in her ear. Setsuna closed her eyes as her warm breath tickled her cheek, then then her throat. Warm lips gently pressed against her flushed skin, slowly, teasingly, making their way down. Her tongue left a moist trail of slightly bruised skin, sucked and occasionally bitten, heightening her arousal.

She could feel the heat between her legs increase tenfold as the girl's lips traced across her lightly muscular stomach. She was extremely ticklish, and the girl seemed to ride the perfect sensual balance between tickling her with her tongue, and scraping her teeth gently across her skin.

Suddenly, fingertips found themselves hooked in the waistband of her jeans.

"We won't need these...best to get rid of them..."

Body aching with desire, Setsuna feverishly agreed, enjoying every sweet second as the girl slowly, deliberately, stripped her of the last of her clothing. Kisses fell softly upon her skin, followed closely by the light touch of the girl's fingertips.

Tossing the blanket over them both, the girl smirked, kissed the inside of Setsuna's thighs, then slowly licked a wet trail up between her legs.

Setsuna turned her head to the side and had to clench her teeth together as hard as she could to muffle her panting and moaning.

Setsuna moaned quietly as she woke up again, suddenly feeling way too warm under all the blankets. She tossed them back so they covered her legs and a small bit of her stomach, and sighed as she stared up at the ceiling.

"That won't happen. Again. Ever." She told herself.

She could feel the wetness between her legs, and knew it was a result of her little dream. Squeezing her toned thighs together, she growled in frustration. Stupid dreams...

Deciding it was time to get up, she tossed the blankets back and got out of bed. Turning around, she shuffled through the blankets, searching under the pillows, until her hand closed around her phone. Picking it up, she unlocked it and was halfway through dialing when she noticed the small wet circle on her sheets. Her nose wrinkled slightly, and she made a mental note to do laundry tonight when she got home. Damn horniness...

She completed the number, and pressed 'call' on her phone, straightening up and walking slowly around her room. The curtains in her room were drawn shut, and her door locked, and she felt completely comfortable as she walked around completely naked.

"Oh, pick up already." Setsuna grumbled, moving over to stand in front of her mirror.

As if waiting for her request, there was a click, then a voice.

"Hello?"

Setsuna smiled. "Hey, Asuna. How is it going? Want to do something today?"

"Oh, hey Setsuna! I'm fine. Of course I want to do something! What did you have in mind?"

Setsuna grinned. "I actually have no idea. I just woke up. I still need to shower, get dressed, and come out there."

A soft chuckle on the other end of the line piqued Setsuna's curiousity as she got bored with her reflection and sauntered over to the bed.

"What's so funny?" Setsuna asked.

"Oh, nothing. I just have a pretty good idea of you, just waking up. You're completely naked right now, aren't you? You still sleep clotheless?"

"None of your concern, I think." Setsuna replied, a small smile curving her lips.

"So you are, then." Came Asuna's approving voice. There was silence for a moment as Setsuna stretched, then a giggle.

"Wanna send me pictures?" Asuna asked brightly. Setsuna had to admire her enthusiasm.

"Not a chance." She replied.

"Well I don't like that..."

"You should like that, you have a boyfriend still, don't you?"

"Sadly, no." Asuna replied. "He just wasn't cutting it for me. Dunno why."

Setsuna shook her head. "Did you even give him a chance?"

"There was no chance to give. There was no spark, no attraction, no...no...there just wasn't anything there. I didn't feel anything, you know?"

Setsuna shrugged. "I don't know, actually, but I'll take your word for it." She joked.

"Psh. You loser. Hurry up and come down, I miss you! We always have so much fun when we get together!"

"I'm working on it." Setsuna replied. "I gotta go now, as much as I would love talking, phones don't work so well in the shower. See you in a few hours."

"Bye. See you soon. HEY, wait! Setsuna?"

Setsuna could hear Asuna shouting, and she raised the phone she had just lowered back up to her ear.

"Yes?"

There was silence for a second, then Asuna's quiet voice.

"I just...look...thanks for still being my friend, and making an effort to see me every once in a while. Especially with everything that happened, and stuff, I just...I like having a friend like you. You know?"

Setsuna allowed herself a small smile.

"You know I don't make friends very easily. I need to keep the few I have."

A soft giggle. "That's true. See you soon, eh? Drive carefully."

Setsuna tossed her phone onto the bed, then padded back over to the mirror. Staring at her reflection, she ran her fingers through her hair. She had always like it slightly longer than shoulder length. It was easy to work with, easy to keep clean, and wasn't a hassle.

She tugged on a few ends impatiently.

She kind of wanted to grow it out longer...

A/N: Mmm, what would a good fic be without naughty deliciousness in it? Not a very good fic, that's what! Tiny bit of filler and backstory before we move onto another chapter. Reviews are appreciated! =3
