Chapter 7: liquor sure is fun

As soon as they entered the VIP room 2, Natsuki quickly slouched at the couch with Shizuru sitting beside her. She just closed her eyes and massages her temples due to the events that happened. Shizuru couldn't remove the smile on her face as she stares at Natsuki massaging her temples. Silence filled the room. No sounds from the music outside since the room was sound-proof and the only sound can be heard were their breath.

"Thank you again" Shizuru broke the silence.

"For what?" Natsuki said, looking at the woman beside her with her right eye.

"For taking me to you house last night and for accompanying me today." Shizuru said sweetly.

"I told you it's okay. Besides Mai said that she won't cut my salary if I accompany you tonight."

"ohh.. So Natsuki was just forced to be with me tonight. Ikezu Natsuki!" Shizuru pouted, covering her face with her hands and started to sob.

"o-oi! Don't go crying now"

"Natsuki doesn't like my company; she doesn't like to be with me." Shizuru cried

This made Natsuki panic so she again did the first thing that came into her mind.

"aww Shizuru don't cry. I.. I didn't mean what I said honest! I love to be with you" Natsuki said in panic.

"You must think I'm yucky or icky. That's why you don't want to be with me." Shizuru sobbed again.

"N-no! I didn't say that. Please stop crying. I'll do anything so please smile." Natsuki said, struggling to calm Shizuru down.

But Natsuki's last words weren't really the best words to say to Shizuru. Shizuru stopped her sobbing act (yes another act by the great Shizuru) and looked at Natsuki with a smile on her face.

"Really? Then give me a kiss. Don't worry it's just a friendly kiss." Shizuru said sweetly.

Natsuki jerked a little upon hearing Shizuru's request. 'Did she just say kiss her? As in my lips touch her sweet, delicate looking… ack! What am I thinking!?' she thought as she was now staring into space until she again herd soft whimpers came from Shizuru.

"N-Natsuki doesn't want to kiss me. She must think I'm weird or she doesn't like me since I'm not beautiful enough."

"Alright I'll kiss you! But only for a second."

With Natsuki's words Shizuru's pouting expression was replaced by a smile. A seductive smile that made Natsuki blush before facing her with a serious look.

Natsuki leaned forward; her heart's pounding very hard and very fast. She looked at the other girl only to see that she has her eyes closed and her lips smiled. She stared at the other girl's lips only to wonder if those lips would be soft and sweet. If those beautiful lips that belonged to the goddess before her can accept her own lips.

Natsuki didn't predicted what happened next. Her eyes were slowly closing as she draws her face nearer to Shizuru. She was now inches away from the brunette's face. She can smell the fragrance of Shizuru that made her smile. 'Wow she smells great.' She thought. She even felt Shizuru's hot breath come in contact to her lips, indicating that she was very close to kissing the girl. She was feeling nervous now but there's no way she can turn back since Shizuru will be sad again.

'closer… closer my little puppy'

Their lips were about to finally meet when the door suddenly opened, making the two looked at the door's direction.

"Yo Natsuki!!! Mai wants you guys to have a few snacks and some drinks so go and hav… uhh…" said a semi dark haired woman with glasses stopping dead on her tracks as she saw the two women at the room.

Natsuki quickly stood up and faced Chie with her face all red. "C-Chie!? I-it's not what it looks like!" Natsuki said in panic waving her arms to show that what Chie's thinking isn't true.

But Chie ignored Natsuk's Denial actions and placed a tray with juice and wine by the side table near the door. "I guess I'll just leave these here. Way to go Natsuki!" Chie cheered and gave Shizuru a wink before leaving the room.

Natsuki just sighed and slouched back at the couch. "That Chie! I bet she'll tell everyone what I was doing. Damn!" Natsuki said softly, clenching her fists. But Shizuru just chuckled. "Ara, was that you're friend Natsuki?" Shizuru asked with a smile. Natsuki just sighed and shook her head, telling Shizuru that Chie was more of Mai's friend than hers. "Is that so, well she sure interrupted a sweet moment. Ne my Nat-su-ki" Shizuru Whispered seductively at Natsuki's ear making the dark haired woman blush madly.

"Don't you know the meaning of personal space!?" Natsuki said irritably trying to distance herself from the brunette.

"But my Natsuki's so cute when she's all red in the face, especially if I look at her this close." Shizuru said seductively, slowly making her way towards Natsuki. She was walking with her knees and hands, stalking Natsuki at the other side of the couch.

Natsuki turned red like a tomato as she look at the how Shizuru was approaching her. She can see from her position a very naughty sight. Shizuru's cleavage was showing, making Natsuki blush so hard. As Shizuru approach her slowly and seductively, Natsuki can't stop her mind or her eyes to look at the sight in front of her.

'Shit! If Shizuru keep on stalking me like that I might faint.' Natsuki thought as she tries to avoid looking at Shizuru's cleavage and distancing herself to avoid any body contact from Shizuru..

"Ne Nat-su-ki, why are you blushing?" Shizuru said seductively. She was still approaching Natsuki and making seductive actions like slowly licking her lips or just talking to Natsuki in a seductive tone. 'she's so cute when she blush. Good thing I wore this attire.' Shizuru thought.

Natsuki couldn't take anymore of Shizuru's teasing so she just stood up to avoid Shizuru and went to the table near the door to have a drink.

"Where's my Nat-su-ki going?" Shizuru asked seductively, following Natsuki by her sight.

"I-I'm just going to have a drink… it's starting to get a little hot in this room." Natsuki stuttered, hiding the blush from her face.

'if this keeps up, I might die from extreme blushing or worse I might lose my mind. But I have to admit, she does look very hot in that… oh god I'm definitely losing my mind! '

Natsuki was in deep thought; she was restraining her mind on not to think of how beautiful of seductive Shizuru was. She didn't even realize that instead of grabbing and drinking the glass with juice, she grabbed and drunk the wine just beside the juice. she stopped the wine from going into her throat by entrapping it on her mouth. 'Oh shit I drank the wine! Natsuki don't swallow!' Natsuki scolded in her mind.

Shizuru noticed that Natsuki was just standing near the door doing nothing. She was just standing and looking at the wall. "Natsuki? Are you alright?" Shizuru asked. But Natsuki didn't reply or even looked at her. She then stood up and approached the stunned Natsuki from behind. "What's my Natsuki doing?" she whispered in Natsuki's ear. But Shizuru heard a gulping sound came from Natsuki and she held Natsuki by the shoulders and turned her around.

"Natsuki? Are you okay?" Shizuru asked with a worried look.

But Natsuki was just staring at her. She has a slight flush from her cheeks and a sweet smile form from her lips.

"Despite the fact that I love the way you're smiling right now my Natsuki, are you okay?" Shizuru said still looking worried.

Natsuki just nodded and pulled Shizuru towards the couch. She sat first and tugged Shizuru to her, making Shizuru sit at her lap.

"Natsuki!?" Shizuru said, startled by the sudden actions of Natsuki.

Still Natsuki didn't answer and just hugged the surprised Shizuru. What surprised Shizuru most was the fact that Natsuki's face was atop her chests and Natsuki's hands were clamped at her waist. This made Shizuru blush and struggled release from Natsuki.

"Natsuki are you drunk?" Shizuru said, struggling from Natsuki's grip.

Natsuki just looked at Shizuru with a sweet yet flushing expression, making Shizuru stop struggling and blush. She stared at Natsuki's emerald eyes, eyes that show care and sweetness. Natsuki then traced her left hand at Shizuru's left cheek before slowly cupping Shizuru's chin and kissed her pink lips. It took Shizuru a few seconds before closing her crimson orbs and kissed back.

The kiss lasted for a few minutes, few minutes that made Shizuru's heart beat faster than normal. She then pushes Natsuki softly to grasp for air but their eyes still not looking away.

"Nat..suki…" Shizuru said softly.

Natsuki hugged the brunette again and nestled her chin at Shizuru's shoulder. She closed her eyes and tightens her hug at Shizuru.

"I think I'm falling for you, Shizuru…" Natsuki whispered in Shizuru's ear.

Shizuru was surprised. She never did expect what Natsuki suddenly said to her. Few beads of tears escape from Shizuru's crimson eyes and she just hugged the blue-haired woman back. 'I don't care if she's drunk or not… I'm happy that Natsuki likes me too.' Shizuru said to her mind.

Shizuru realized that Natsuki was already asleep while hugging her. She just smiled and lay Natsuki at the couch. 'You look even cuter when you sleep Natsuki.' Shizuru said to her mind. "I guess I need Mai's assistance on this cute situation."

Shizuru picked the phone beside the couch and dialed the bartender's number.

"Hello Mai? Can you come here because I'm kinda in a problem." Shizuru said sweetly.

Shizuru put the phone back as she heard Mai's answer. She just stared at the sleeping Natsuki with a smile on her face.

A few moments later, Mai entered the room. She was with a woman with black colored hair and golden eyes. Well actually the woman was clinging at her back with a huge smile at her face. Shizuru kneeled at the couch and turned around to look at Mai and covered her mouth with her hand to stop from laughing out loud. "Ara! Does Mai know that there's someone riding your back?" Shizuru chuckled. Mai just sighed while the woman at her back raised her hand and showed a wide smile.

"Hello! I'm Mikoto Minagi! I'm Mai's girlfriend" Mikoto said cheerfully while waving her hand that she rose.

Shizuru smiled at Mikoto and bowed her head to show respect. Mai on the other hand was getting tired in carrying and faced her hyper active girlfriend behind her.

"Mikoto if you don't stop moving and get off me I won't cook anymore ramen for you"

"but Maiiiiiiiii!!!!"

"That's final Mikoto"

Mikoto just sighed and jumped off her busty girlfriend's back but just clinged at her girlfriend's waist. Mai sighed, she knew that there's no way to removing her feline like girlfriend from clinging at any part of her that can be hold. But looking at how Mikoto was happy just to be near her made her smile anyways.

"So Shizuru, what's the problem that you're talking about? I hope it's not about Natsuki ditching you or something." Mai jested and looked at Shizuru by the couch.

"Well it IS about Natsuki, but she didn't ditch me. Not literally." Shizuru said playfully, pointing to the couch.

Mai gave Shizuru a questioning look and approached at Shizuru. She looked at where Shizuru was pointing and saw Natsuki hugging Shizuru's waist while sleeping. She examined Natsuki carefully and she saw something that's unusual from the blue-haired waitress, except the fact that she was hugging Shizuru's waist.

"Mai its Natsuki… but she's sleeping!" Mikoto pointed out cheerfully, letting go of Mai's waist and sat at the couch near Shizuru.

"Natsuki's… hugging you and Smiling? Hmmm…" Mai said confusingly.

"Yes, apparently she suddenly acts weird after walking to the table." Shizuru explained, crossing her left arm and put her right index finger over her lips.

Mai went to the table that Shizuru was talking about and looked at its contents. She saw a glass of juice and beside it was an empty glass with ice. She picked up the empty glass and smelled its contents and smiled.

"No wonder Natsuki's weird as you said. She's drunk again. I told you don't let her drink any liquor." Explained Mai before sitting with Shizuru and Mikoto.

Mikoto laid her head by Mai's laps, smiling and closed her eyes. Mai just smiled and scratched Mikoto's ears like a little kitten.

"Ara! Is that why she acted weird? Hmm… I guess I should make her drink more often, since its kinda fun." Shizuru said joyfully.

"haha is that right. Well as long as she didn't went on a rampage or anything its okay. So what did Natsuki do?" Mai asked, grinning with curiosity.

Shizuru blush and coughed a little before explaining to Mai everything. She placed the sleeping Natsuki to her lap and she told Mai how Natsuki was just standing and then acted so sweetly to her. Her voice expressed happiness as she told Mai everything. Mai just smiled while stroking Mikoto's briads.

"Wow, Natsuki sure is unpredictable. Right Mikoto?" Mai said with a smile. Mikoto just nodded in agreement with Mai's words as she snuggled closer to Mai's legs.

Shizuru traced her fingers over Natsuki's cheek and sighed. Mai noticed Shizuru's expression and tapped Shizuru at her shoulders.

"I'll tell you a secret okay?"

"What secret?"

"Whenever Natsuki's drunk, she often does what her heart's been keeping imprisoned. To put it straight, it's kinda like a truth syrum to Natsuki. Well it was surprisingly that she didn't go on a rampage like last time. Right Mikoto?"

Mikoto looked at Mai with a smile on her face. "Yeah, it was scary when Natsuki was mad." Mikoto said before cuddling again at Mai's lap.

Shizuru's heart was now beating fast. She couldn't believe what Mai told her. It was too good to be true for her.

"So does Mai think that Natsuki likes me?" Shizuru asked, hoping to have a confirmation.

"Well Natsuki should be the one who you should be asking. But her drunken state was the proof doesn't it?" Mai said.

Shizuru just smiled. She felt like she jumping from what she heard, but of course she shouldn't do that. 'Natsuki likes me… wait scratch that, she LOVES me' she thought happily as she unconsciously cupped her hand at Natsuki's cheeks and looked at the blue-haired girl with so much care.

Mai understood Shizuru's actions and tapped Mikoto on the head to tell her that they have to go back to the counter. Mikoto just yawned and rubbed her eyes before standing up. She pulled her busty girlfriend up and smiled. "Mai I'm hungry! Let's eat please?" Mikoto said with her cute feline face. "sure Mikoto, well Shizuru we have to go back now." Mai said, bowing her head to just smiled and accepted Mai's apology.

"Wait Mai, what am I suppose to do with Natsuki?" Shizuru asked while stroking Natsuki's head.

"Well since Natsuki can't possibly sleep here, why don't you take her to her house? I bet you already know where she lives. Mikoto, can you carry Natsuki to the taxi I'll call?" Mai said. Mikoto just nodded and approached the sleeping Natsuki. She excused herself from Shizuru and grabbed Natsuki's body and carried her.

Shizuru was amazed on how Mikoto was able to carry Natsuki so easily. Mai however was not too surprised fro she just smiled at how strong her girlfriend is.

"Well c'mon Shizuru let's go." Mai said cheerfully.

The three of them went outside the bar and called a taxi that took both Shizuru and Natsuki to Natsuki's apartment. Shizuru asked the taxi driver to carry Natsuki to her room, which the driver agreed since Shizuru was too beautiful to be turned down from her request.

After carrying the sleeping Natsuki to her room and the driver was paid with an extra tip, Shizuru made her way to the messy room of Natsuki. She sat beside Natsuki and stared at her with her caring crimson eyes. She gently held Natsuki's right hand and held it close to her right cheeks, feeling the warmness of her hand and remembering the softness of Natsuki's hug at the bar.

Natsuki shifted a little and a smile formed at her face. She cuddled closer to Shizuru's hand and mumbled Shizuru's name that made Shizuru blush.

"ara, I wonder what does my little wolf's dreaming about me? Fufufufu" Shizuru said as she slid her hand at her purse and took out a pen and paper to write a note.

"I'll be going now my Natsuki… thanks for a wonderful night." Shizuru whispered at Natsuki's ear, making the sleeping woman twitch. Shizuru just smiled and placed a kiss on Natsuki's forehead. She stood up and pinned the note at the table lamp and whispered a sweet goodnight before leaving the apartment.
