Happy Easter, everyone! Enjoy this extra long chapter!

Yoshiki awoke with a start. He was in a sitting position, having fallen asleep during the movie the night before. His eyes were still adjusting to the light streaming through the window when he noticed a weight on his thighs. Still half asleep, he looked down to see Ayumi face down, using his crotch area as a pillow. His pulse immediately quickened, and he felt his blood leaving the rest of his body, heading towards that area.

Fearing the worst, he quickly got up, cradling her head with his hands so it didn't move and wake her. As he got up and put her head on the couch, she mumbled a little and rolled over, now facing the back of the couch.

He sighed, glad he had avoided a crisis. "That was too close...that could have gotten really sticky..." he thought to himself, leaving Ayumi sleeping and walking towards his room. The dirty part of him responded with; "YEAH it could have! Teeheehee..." . He cursed his imagination and smacked his forehead to remove the thought.

He walked into his room and grabbed some clothes. He looked at the alarm clock on his bed stand, it read 8:00.

"Damn it's early..." he said aloud. He usually slept in until noon on weekends.

Doing his best to remain generally silent, he grabbed a pair of shorts then walked back into the hall. He glanced into the living room and saw that Ayumi had once again rolled over, and was now facing the rest of the room. She appeared to be sleeping peacefully, with a smile on her face.

He grinned, and thought, "She's so beautiful...even when she's asleep." She was in the fetal position, and her hair was sprawled out around her.

Shaking his head vigorously, he went into the bathroom and put down his shorts, removing his old clothes and throwing them into the hamper. Turning on the shower and carefully adjusting it to the proper temperature, he climbed into the shower and sighed as the water soothed his tired muscles. He had gym class yesterday, and he had spent the whole time working out in the school weight room. He washed his hair and body then got out and dried off. He threw on his shorts, brushed his teeth, then left the bathroom, his thoughts centered on breakfast.

He walked into the kitchen and started making food, completely forgetting that Ayumi was sleeping on the couch. He turned on the burner and grabbed some eggs and milk from the fridge. He put the eggs and milk into a pan and whisked it up with a fork. He had just put them on the burner when he heard a yawn from behind him. He whipped around, startled. Ayumi had sat up, and was now looking at Yoshiki with an amused look on her face.

"Good morning. You forgot I was here, didn't you?" She said, laughing.

Heart racing, both from getting scared and the sudden memory of last night, he stammered; "Good morning. Uh, yeah. A little. Sorry, I'm not used to having company." This was true, as he very rarely had people over; Satoshi was the only person who had ever stayed at his apartment, other than himself.

She giggled. "It's okay. I know how scatterbrained you can be."

"Oh?" He said, slightly offended.

She laughed again, and said; "You forget about stuff a lot, Yoshiki."

"I do not!"

"Yes you do."

"Name one time, other than right now, that I've forgotten something."

"That History test last week?"

"That doesn't count."

"Why not?"

"I was busy studying for the Chemistry test."

"Which you had also forgotten about." she reminded him.

"Okay okay, something non-school related." He said with frustration.

"Hmm, okay, maybe the eggs you put on the stove?"

He whipped around to see his eggs literally on fire.

"SHIT!" He grabbed the pan from the stove and threw it into the sink. He turned on the water and put out the fire.

Breathing heavily, he turned from the sink to see Ayumi rolling on the floor laughing. Frowning, he walked over to her.

She stopped rolling and looked up from the floor. "What?" She said with a small chuckle.

Getting a devious idea, he smiled widely, then suddenly dropped to the floor, catching himself in the pushup position, his face inches from hers.

She gasped at his sudden movement, and the proximity of their bodies. "Y-Yo-Yoshiki! What are you doing?!" She yelped. She felt that warmth start in her stomach region again at the closeness of his half naked, toned body.

He grinned. "Nothing..." he said slyly, holding himself above her. He gazed into her beautiful eyes, then lowered himself enough that their lips met.

"Nnnnng..." She groaned, as he slid his tongue into her mouth. She returned the favor and melted into the kiss. She wasn't used to kissing yet, as she had just had her first kiss yesterday. Didn't mean she didn't enjoy it, though.

He pushed himself back up, and looked down at her. "I love you so much, Ayumi..." he said, the lust practically dripping from his voice.

"I love you too, Yoshiki." Noticing the tone in his voice made her own excitement grow. She was new to this whole hormones thing, but she had a basic idea of what the warmth in her stomach area meant. Yet...as this was happening, she felt something poking her upper thigh, and as his hands were currently holding him up...

As Yoshiki looked down at her, he noticed her suddenly look away towards her feet, then suddenly turn beet-red.

"Umm...Yoshiki? You're... poking me..."

Turning a shade of red he didn't think existed, he looked where she had and saw...

"YAARGH!" He yelled, leaping off of her. He immediately covered himself. "I'm sorry! I can't control it...forgive me!" He was blushing furiously, and was looking at the floor as he leaned back against the fridge.

She sat up, facing him. "It's okay. I understand. Besides..."

Yoshiki looked up from the linoleum to see her crawling towards him. She crawled onto him with a grin on her face.

"A-Ayumi! What-" he said.

She put her forehead to his, and whispered seductively. "I feel the same...don't be ashamed..."

Heart pounding out of his chest, he said; "Well, then why did you get all nervous and such when you noticed it...poking you?"

Giggling, she said; "It just surprised me. I didn't know you were that easy to turn on!"

"Well-that's-hey…" he stammered as she grinded her hips against his a little.

His mind went blank. He could not comprehend what was happening.. His heart felt as though it was going to explode. He tried to rationalize what she was saying, but his raging hormones were drowning out everything. Only one thing was clear to him: she wanted him, too.

She nuzzled into his chest, and pressed her body closer. As he sat with his back against the fridge, he wrapped his arms around her, feeling content with life.

"So..." She said after awhile, looking up from her spot on his chest. "Whaddya want to do? I don't work until 5..."

He remembered that she worked at the supermarket a few blocks away, and that she only worked on weekends, which put a slight damper on his mood. But then he noticed the look on her face. She was eyeing him with a weird look, like when you're hungry, but...

"Ayumi? Are you alright?" He asked.

She smiled deviously, and said; "Well...I was just thinking...we have the apartment to ourselves..."

Yoshiki's interest spiked. "Well, uh, what do you suggest?" He said, shivering in anticipation.

She leaned in close, and whispered seductively, "Well, we could-"

She was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the front door.

"What? Who the hell...?" He said, sighing at the ruining of the moment.

He silently motioned for Ayumi to get off of him, then got up and walked to the door.

"Who is it?" He said irritability, looking through the eye hole. "I swear, if you're a Jehovas' Witness-

"It's Ms. Yui!" A voice called from behind the door.

Looking back at Ayumi with wide eyes, he mouthed; "Why is she here?"

She mouthed back; "I have no idea!"

Sighing, he unlocked the door and opened it.

"Kishinuma! You aren't wearing a shirt!" Ms. Yui shrieked.

Glancing down, he noticed she was right. "Yeah, I suppose I'm not. What's up Teach? And how did you know where I live?"

Shaking her head, she said; "I'm not talking to you until you've put on a shirt!"

He sighed, and said; "Fine. I'll go put on a shirt, but you have to come inside. It's cold."

She tried to refuse, but after much insistence from Yoshiki, she relented. Muttering under her breath, she hurriedly past over the threshold and Yoshiki closed the door.

"Why does it smell like something is burning in here? Is there a fire?" Said Ms. Yui nervously, as she began to take off her coat and shake the snow off of her.

"There was, but I put it out. I was making eggs when I got...distracted."

"That's not surprising." Said Ms. Yui, one arm in her jacket and one out.

"See! I'm not the only one who thinks you get distracted easily!" Said Ayumi suddenly, still sitting against the fridge.

Jumping a little, and looking around the counter at Ayumi with an incredulous look, Ms. Yui cried; "Shinozaki?! What are you doing here?!"

Smiling widely, she replied; "Oh, just spending some time with Yoshiki."

Ms. Yui was taken aback. She looked at Ayumi, then Yoshiki, then back to Ayumi. Then she put two and two together.

"Wait...he's not wearing a shirt...you...OH DEAR!" She yelped, putting one hand to her mouth and the other to her heart.

Laughing, Yoshiki shook his head at her reaction and walked to his room to get a shirt, leaving the two women alone in the living room.

Ms. Yui was still stunned, but she managed to get out; "When did...what?"

Ayumi giggled, then got up. "How about we sit on the couch, and I'll explain?" She said courteously.

She led Ms. Yui to the couch and sat her down.

"So, what do you want to know?" Ayumi asked.

"I just..." Ms. Yui stammered. "I just never thought you'd ever like him back! I always thought you had a thing for Satoshi!"

Ayumi gasped. "Wait...what?! You...knew?" She was shocked. Ms. Yui was always so calm and collected, and usually didn't get too involved with student emotional issues, But this proved otherwise.

"Well, yeah." Said Ms. Yui. "I know it may seem like I don't pay attention to detail, but I do. I really care about you kids, and your wellbeing. I just keep it to myself." She winked.

Ayumi nodded, and waited for her to continue. She loved to talk with Ms. Yui, as she considered her as kind of a second mother, in a way.

"Anyways, I knew Kishinuma had feelings for you, and you Satoshi. I guess I didn't notice you getting over Satoshi and returning Kishinuma's feelings." She said with a shrug.

"Well, it's all pretty recent..." said Ayumi. "I got over Satoshi only recently, and figured out Yoshiki's feelings yesterday. Mine...have been pretty crazy, to be honest. I've been too caught up in being class rep and school to really notice my real feelings...but now, I finally figured it out."

Ms. Yui smiled. "Well, that explains why I didn't notice! But anyways, I'm glad. Being indecisive with feelings can be...detrimental." a shadow passed over Ms. Yui's face as she remembered her time in high school.

Ayumi saw this, and considered asking her about it, but dismissed the idea. Instead, she asked a different question.

"Okay, but how did you know Yoshiki liked me?"

Ms. Yui laughed. "You were the only one in the class who didn't notice!"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Really."

At this point, Yoshiki walked back into the room, clad in a simple white tshirt.

"Sorry, wanted to find something that was clean." He said apologetically.

"It's fine." Said Ms. Yui. "Ayumi and I were just talking about...things."

He was skeptical about her vague answer, but he wanted to figure out why she was there in the first place. "So, now that I have a shirt on..."

"Oh! Right!" Said Ms. Yui. "I should explain myself."

She reached into her bag and pulled out a laptop. "You left this at school two days ago, and I forgot to give it to you yesterday." She said, handing it to Yoshiki.

"Oh! Thanks! I thought it had been stolen!" Said Yoshiki gratefully. "But that doesn't explain how you know where where I live."

Ms. Yui laughed. "I'm your teacher, remember? I have access to all the information about you kids. It's in the school's system."

"Ahhh, that makes sense. I did have to fill out my address when I applied..."

"Yup. Now...I have a question for you two."

Ayumi and Yoshiki looked at each other, then back to Ms. Yui.

"Yes?" They said in unison.

Ms. Yui took a deep breath, then said; "Are you using condoms?"

Ayumi gasped, and Yoshiki yelled and fell off the couch.

"Ms. Yui, we haven't-"

"Yeah, we haven't had...done...you know."

"Okay, okay. I just wanted to make sure you guys were being safe, is all." Said Ms. Yui, while laughing at their reactions.

Blushing, and wanting to get out of this embarrassing situation, Ayumi said; "Sooo...is that all?"

"Oh! Yes! That's all I had to do. Thank you for your hospitality, Kishinuma." She said, standing to leave.

"Welcome, Teach. Just make sure you come later next time, it's way too early to do this consistently." He joked.

She laughed, waved goodbye, then left.

Now, I know I say this every time, but once again, thank all of you, SO, SO much for the support. :)
