A/N: Here is chapter 7! This is a little bit shorter than most of the other by about 600 words or so.
Nagisa's excitement was building as she sat on the couch looking out the window waiting for Shizuma to get home. She had been thinking about what the surprise could be all morning while at the museum with her parents, she wasn't sure what to expect, was Shizuma going to buy her a present or perhaps she it was something that shouldn't be given in front of her parents? Nagisa blushed when she thought about that, but she couldn't dismiss it being Shizuma's girlfriend.
Mr. Aoi watched as his daughter excitedly looked out the window, he couldn't help but smile knowing that Nagisa truly was happy with Shizuma. "Nagisa, I'm sure she will be home soon you don't have to keep look out for her." Mr. Aoi laughed as Nagisa turned with a blush evident on her face as her thoughts were still set on what her present could be.
"I know I just want her to get here, she said she had a surprise for me." Nagisa pouted.
Mr. Aoi watched Nagisa as she calmed down a little bit in her seat. "Shizuma is lucky to have someone who cares about her as much as you Nagisa. I am glad you two found each other and I'm sure whatever her surprise is it will make you happy." He said causing Nagisa to smile.
"You know Nagisa, I won't say this in front of her because she has taken my daughter's heart, but your father is right. I am happy that you found someone who cares for you as much as she does." Mrs. Aoi said standing in the doorway to the kitchen surprising both of them not only with her presence but her words.
Nagisa couldn't help but smile even bigger from her moms word as she ran over and gave her a hug. "Thank you, mom. I can't tell you how much that means to me. I was really worried at first that you two would try and separate us. I don't know what I would have done if that was the case. I really do love her." Nagisa said as Mrs. Aoi returned the hug patting the back of her head.
"I know you do, Nagisa." Mrs. Aoi said pulling back and giving a her a kiss on her forehead. "Your father is right though, whatever her surprise is, I'm sure you will love it." Mrs. Aoi paused for a moment thinking. "As long as it's not her hand or her tongue."
"Mom!" Nagisa exclaimed, face red as her hair. "I get it, we don't need a visual." She said as the sound of the door opening could be heard behind her. Nagisa spun around instantly as she ran over to Shizuma and practically jumped into her arms. "Shizuma, I missed you so much." She cried thinking about the awkward situation her mom just put her through.
Shizuma was taken a little off guard as Nagisa wrapped her arms around her, thankfully though she was able to keep her balance as she wondered what was going on. "I missed you too, but I've been away from you longer than that before, without a reaction like this." She said glancing over at Mr. Aoi and then up to Mrs. Aoi who was staring at the bag in Shizuma's hand. "Oh, I think I can piece it together now." She mumbled loud enough for only Nagisa to hear.
"Good, you have something in your hands. I wonder what it is? I'm sure Nagisa would like to see your surprise right now...in front of everyone." Mrs. Aoi said a little awkwardly but somewhat threateningly towards the end.
Shizuma nodded as she lifted the bag and handed it to Nagisa. "I know it isn't much but I hope you like it. I had it specially made just for you."
Nagisa took the bag excitedly and set it on the the closest flat surface as she reached her hand in and pulled out a very wonderful looking cake that had her name on the front of it with a bunch of hearts around it drawn in frosting. Nagisa smiled as she set it down and gave Shizuma a hug. "It looks amazing!" She said giving her a quick kiss before grabbing it and bringing it to the kitchen.
Shizuma watched her go past Mrs. Aoi into the kitchen before noticing the unpleasant stare she was getting from Mrs. Aoi as she started walking towards her. "A word if you will Shizuma." Mrs. Aoi said as she brought Shizuma upstairs to talk in private.
Shizuma was unsure if she had done something wrong, she brought a gift just like she said and it wasn't anything that would give her the wrong idea, though admittedly that was part of the present. She was confused and a bit nervous as to why she wanted to talk all of the sudden, especially because it was in private which was a first.
Mrs. Aoi closed the door behind them as they entered a room with just a bunch of random stuff in it. "Shizuma, what were you doing today?" Mrs. Aoi asked in a very serious tone that matched the look on her face.
Shizuma knew this wasn't the time to joke around, though she still didn't know what this was about. "I went and picked up the cake for, Nagisa." She said never taking her eyes off of Mrs. Aoi, she was still pretty confused as to what this was about.
"It doesn't take two hours to pick up a cake, Shizuma. What were you doing?" She said coldly this time.
Shizuma heart sank a little as she realized what Mrs. Aoi was getting at. "You think I was meeting with someone don't you?" Shizuma asked a little shocked and deeply hurt. She had thought Nagisa's mom really did accept her but now she was questioning if it was the truth or not and honestly just the thought of cheating on Nagisa was enough to force a tear to her eye. "I wouldn't do that... I couldn't do that, not to Nagisa. She is my world I don't even know how you could accuse me of such things." She sniffled trying to hold back more tears from coming.
Mrs. Aoi took a deep breath trying to keep strong herself, she had not expected for Shizuma to break down into tears. She needed to know though, she still had doubts in her mind that Shizuma and Nagisa's relationship could be real. If Shizuma really had gone out to see someone behind her daughter's back though, there would be hell to pay, she needed to know. "Shizuma, I am going to ask you one more time before I assume the worst. What were you doing in those two hours?" Mrs. Aoi asked firmly as Shizuma lifted her head and wiped the tears out of her eyes.
Shizuma knew that she was out of options, Mrs. Aoi wasn't playing around and she knew that assuming the worst meant cheating, which still broke her heart even thinking about it. Shizuma stood up on her feet and took a deep breath reaching into her pocket. "You have to promise to keep this a secret." Shizuma said with a very serious look on her face as she pulled out a small black box and opened it revealing a small silver ring that had, "From this day forward," engraved into the rim.
Mrs. Aoi gasped as she covered her mouth in surprise before looking up at Shizuma with wide eyes. "Shizuma, I'm sorry." Mrs. Aoi said as she took a step forward and gave Shizuma a firm hug. "I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, I hope you can forgive my rudeness."
"Does that mean you are alright with me asking her?" Shizuma asked a little hesitantly as Mrs. Aoi smiled and nodded letting go of Shizuma.
"I think it you would make her the happiest girl in the world if you asked her." Mrs. Aoi said thinking back to the numerous phone conversations she had with Nagisa about her supposed boyfriend. They had never talked about specifics when it came to her relationship, but she knew that Nagisa was happier than ever when talking about him, which in all actuality was Shizuma, her daughter's girlfriend.
Shizuma couldn't hide the big smile on her face as another tear formed in her eye. "Sorry, I just never thought you would be alright with it. I thought for sure you would strongly disapprove, I'm just so happy..." She said wiping the tear out of her eye trying to regain her composure as she took a deep breath. "Nagisa can't know about this though. I planned on asking her tomorrow at lunch before we leave for home."
Mrs. Aoi smiled and gave Shizuma another hug. "I will try my hardest to act like nothing has changed then." She said as a knock on the door interrupted them. Shizuma quickly put the box back in her pocket and nodded to Mrs. Aoi that she was ready for her to open the door.
Nagisa was a little surprised to see Shizuma and her mom in the room as the door opened. "Uh, me and dad were just wondering if you wanted any of the cake?" She asked still a bit confused at the situation. Shizuma smiled and nodded as she went out into the hall and grabbed Nagisa's hand making their way down the stairs.
"So what were you and mom talking about?" Nagisa asked as they approached the kitchen.
Shizuma smiled and playfully poked Nagisa's nose with her finger. "You will just have to wait and find out." She said before stopping her and pulling her into a loving embrace and whispering in her ear, trying to change the subject to one that she herself was very interested in. "You know Nagisa, there is still more to this surprise." She purred giving Nagisa's earlobe a little nibble as Nagisa blushed.
"Odd, my daughter's ear doesn't look like cake." Mrs. Aoi said interrupting the show of affection Shizuma was giving Nagisa outside the kitchen door.
"Maybe I should have bought that in use sign after all." Shizuma joked as she pulled away from Nagisa. "Let's go eat." She said as they all went into the kitchen, Mrs. Aoi trying her hardest to act like the cold person she had been all weekend.
Later that night...
"That was good." Nagisa said rubbing her belly with a smile on her face as she leaned back against Shizuma on the couch. They had decided to save the cake for dessert and instead went out shopping to have a big dinner, it was the last night Shizuma and Nagisa were staying after all. Once done with dinner they had all gone into the living room and enjoyed the cake that, Shizuma had bought while they watched a movie.
"It certainly was." Shizuma said running her fingers through Nagisa's hair as she admired the girl in her arms. She knew that tomorrow would be a big day and her nerves were starting to take hold as her mind wandered.
Nagisa snuggled closer to Shizuma bringing Shizuma out of her thoughts and back to the real world. "So, when do I get the rest of my surprise?" She asked quiet but playfully, hoping her mom hadn't heard her.
Shizuma smiled glancing over at Mrs. Aoi quick before hugging Nagisa a little tighter. "I guess that depends when you want your surprise." She answered back also playfully.
Nagisa just grinned as she sat up from the couch rather quickly catching her parents attention, grabbing Shizuma's arm. "We are going to head to bed it's getting late." She said as her father checked his watch.
"It's only 8:45 though." He said a little confused as Mrs. Aoi turned her attention to Shizuma knowing she couldn't really say anything, if they were tired they were tired, though she had her suspicions.
"Well, it usually takes me about an hour or two to fall asleep so really it's almost 11 for me." Nagisa said giving the first excuse she could think of as she practically dragged Shizuma off the couch and up the stairs. It wasn't but a few minutes later that Nagisa screamed out Shizuma's name in pleasure from her room.
Mr. Aoi turned his attention towards the stairs as his wife sighed. "Would you tell if I murdered our daughter's girlfriend?" She asked somewhat seriously as he turned his attention back to her. Mr. Aoi was a little confused an shocked by the question and the noise that had come from up stairs. Mrs. Aoi just laughed a little before resting her head against her husband again. "Let's just watch the movie." She said before hearing another small scream from Nagisa's room. "Perhaps, we should turn up the volume though, before I really do contemplate murder."
"Sh—Shizuma, my parents are going to hear us!" Nagisa panted as Shizuma lingered over her with a wicked grin on her face before assaulting her neck again with passionate kisses.
"Well, I'm not the one screaming." Shizuma playfully said as she placed another kiss on Nagisa's lips with a big grin.
Nagisa was breathing heavy still from Shizuma's pleasuring assault as she spoke. "Well, when you do that with your hand, I can't help it!" She exclaimed as her breathing steadied a little.
"You mean, this?" Shizuma said repeating her previous actions as Nagisa loudly moaned Shizuma's name once again. "That one, they probably heard." She laughed as she looked towards the door somewhat expecting Mrs. Aoi to kick it in. "I guess my name being screamed a few times works as a pretty good 'in use' sign." She joked as Nagisa blushed and wrapped her around her giving her another kiss.
BIG SPOILERS FOR THIS CHAPTER IN THIS NOTE.
A/N: There is is chpater 7! I hope you enjoyed that one, I know I had fun with it, especially towards the end :D. I know the object that Shizuma was referring to in one of the earlier chapters might have been a little obvious but I still wanted to do it that way. ( I will have to work on my being less obvious skills in the future) I also want to work on the part where she breaks down after being accused of cheating. I think that spot needs more words to properly convey her feelings though for now it works.
I've said it once and I will say it again. The way I am doing this story is not how I have written other things before. I literally have no notes on this one. I am just making it up as a I go. Each chapter takes about n hour or two to write and once I finish them I spell check and read them quick to make fixes where I see missing words or where I used the wrong word. Then and than is the one I recall from this particular chapter. Once I do a quick read through I post it and start on the next chapter. I suspect to have this story done by probably tonight or tomorrow. I have been updating it very frequently adding 2-3 chapters a day.
