Natsuki's crying resided as the elevator finally reached to the lobby, and the two exited, letting the melancholic aura spread around. Shizuru couldn't help it, but instead of just standing there, she wrapped an arm around Natsuki's shoulder, and pulled her close. Usually Natsuki would have pushed something like this off and away from her, since she plainly didn't like someone touching her, however, her touch, Shizuru's touch, it comforted her. Natsuki smiled despite her red eyes that annunciated that she had been crying previously, and her body heated up a bit.
Whether it was from being held by someone who understood her, who knew her, or the short moment of happiness, Shizuru had felt the warmth come to Natsuki's usual cold skin, and when Shizuru noticed this, she stopped to look at Natsuki whose face was flushed from the crying and the sudden touch.
"Your not used to this, are you…?" Shizuru said, her voice quiet and questioning. Natsuki slowly shook her head sadly, letting herself succumb to Shizuru's touch. Shizuru sighed, and smiled. Stopping Natsuki from walking further, Shizuru wrapped both of her arms around Natsuki, and rest her head on Natsuki's shoulder from the back.
Cuddling softly against Natsuki, Shizuru took a breath of Natsuki's scent, and whispered, "Then I'll make sure you do get used to it." The serious atmosphere seemed to have disappeared, and Shizuru moved up to blow into Natsuki's ear. Usually, one would have saw this as an intimate scene, however, it was honestly a playful act between the two.
Natsuki's sadness had disappeared because of Shizuru, and she let out a quiet giggle. A giggle?! This girl is capable of giggles! Shizuru smirked like the devil, and touched Natsuki's side, right below her rib on the side. Natsuki's body tensed up, and Natsuki's squeaked and jumped, causing Shizuru's jaw to slam shut and hurting her a bit.
Natsuki turned around, her face twisted in the emotions of laughing at Shizuru getting karma, or having her face in complete shock that Shizuru had just poked her. But she let herself go to the latter, and started cracking up. "That's what you get!!!" she said in between laughs. Shizuru wanted to say something back, but decided to enjoy the moment of Natsuki 'rolling down the aisles'.
This was a new experience for Shizuru, to see Natsuki laugh, to hear her laugh, and to see tears come out not because of sadness, but of joy, made Shizuru smile despite the pain Natsuki had felt earlier. She felt better to know that she had the power to stop Natsuki from feeling down…she felt better to know that she had made Natsuki simply laugh.
The two walked across the street to the parking lot, seeing that there were no cars passing, and hurried just in case. Once they spotted Shizuru's car, they slowly walked towards it, and stopped in front of the door. Shizuru opened it, but before she went in, she turned around and looked at Natsuki.
The two stared at each other, not making a move.
"Bye."
"Bye.." the other said back.
And yet even with the parting words, the two still stood there. That is, until Natsuki's phone buzzed in her pocket, causing her to stick her hands into her jeans and flip out the phone. "Hello? Oh, okay. Yeah, she's leaving… Okay. I'm coming, bye." Natsuki said and flipping the phone closed. Sighing, she and Shizuru shared a longing glance at each other before Natsuki gave her a little smile.
"Yeah, my dad called me, I have to go. Drive safe Shizuru."
Shizuru nodded, smiled at the girl, and entered her car and started the engine. She then pulled out and drove off home, while Natsuki walked back to her apartment.
Natsuki went back up the elevator, and into the apartment, where her dad turned his head from the couch and gave her an all knowing grin. "What?" she meekly said before she spotted her brother and told him to sleep since it was already late. He nodded and sped to his room, leaving Natsuki and her Dad.
Nodoma chuckled and stood up, turning the TV off, before heading to his own room, but he stopped to look at Natsuki. "If I hadn't called, I bet you and that girl would've been out there for a while, just standin' and staring at each other, wouldn't you?" Of course, he needed no answer, as he left, happy to see the pink tinge of color appear on Natsuki's cheeks.
Natsuki shook her head and sighed, a happy-ish sigh, and turned off the lights and headed towards her own room. I'll miss this night…everything felt…like a family…Natsuki thought before closing her own door.

The day after, Friday, the day where Shizuru promised to make dinner for them, came and ended faster than Natsuki expected. Being her, she finished all her homework, and managed to avoid Ian and the rest, until her last class where he sat next to her.
Already in her seat by the time the warning bell rung, Natsuki was in her normal position. Resting her head on her plopped up arm, she gazed out the window until Shizu…Ms. Fujino, came to start class. Today she wore blue jeans with rips around her thigh and knee, her usual black converses, and a black sweater with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her hair was tied up, since Natsuki had messy bed hair that morning and didn't want to risk making Naota late for school because she needed to fix her tangled bed hair.
She felt a chair being dragged back, and instead of finding Ian where he usually sat, there was this boy with a messy fohawk, wearing a green shirt with white long sleeves, and slightly baggy jeans. On his feet were flimsy shoes, and he wore rectangular glasses on brownish eyes with red swirls. Honest to say, the boy was good looking in a comfy way, just not to Natsuki.
He looked towards Natsuki and held out his hand, with a goofy smile on his face. "Hey, I'm Yuu."
Natsuki lifted an eyebrow, and repeated, "You're…me?"
The boy grinned and let out a loud laughter, attracting attention from the few classmates that had finally arrived that heard the infamous Kuga speak to a boy that nobody knew. Obviously to them, it was a moment where everyone had to eavesdrop and pay attention to the words that was spoken, either ready to spread rumors or feel jealous that Natsuki didn't talk to them. "No, its Yuu. Y, U, U. But you and Yuu are pronounced the same…haha, anyways yeah. What's your name?"
Natsuki shook her head, and for some reason, her lips curled upwards. If someone had introduced themselves to her, she'd usually ignore them. But…Now it felt like it was normal to smile at the silly scene. The teenager had warm brown eyes when he grinned, obviously showing that he was a good guy. Natsuki let out a chuckle, before looking at the person next to her. It felt normal for her to consider him as a possible friend, not an annoying classmate. Shizuru changed me…she dimly thought, a small smile that nobody but Shizuru would have seen if she was there. After all, it was the smile that Natsuki would have planted on her face for some reason when she saw her older friend.
"Well, Yuu, I'm Natsuki. Kuga Natsuki." Natsuki said, and Yuu gave her a bright smile. "Nice to meet you. So, Natsuki-san, I just transferred here, and I thought I'd sit next to you. You looked bored, and I'm a loser here, so want to be friends? And don't worry, I'm clean if you suspect anything. The only thing I choose to get high on is sugar." Yuu said, grinning, despite of his blunt statements, at Natsuki. Natsuki smiled, and shrugged, she finally had met a decent guy.
However, the new found friendship was ruined when Ian finally came into the room, right as the warning bell rung, with half the class trailing behind him. Natsuki didn't want to make it obvious, but she couldn't see her teacher yet so she resorted to moving her head to get a better view of the crowd. Yuu looked at her, than to the crowd, confused.
Still no Shizuru… Natsuki thought, but then remembered that she shouldn't be addressing her temporary teacher with her first name. "What the hell? Hey, shit head, get the hell out of my seat!" Natsuki turned her head to see Ian glaring at her new found 'friend'. Yuu looked at him innocently, even though a grin was trying its best not to appear, and he calmly said, "But, this seat was empty, and I don't recall any name on it.. And Natsuki doesn't mind me sitting here, so why don't you, uh, shoo?" He said, moving his hands to point at a seat on the other side of the room.
Natsuki watched amused that someone had finally decided to stand up to Ian instead of cowering that they might get beat up, and continued watching the scene unfold. Ian's eye brows furrowed and stepped closer to Yuu, and grabbed the collar of his shirt, lifting the boy up. Natsuki was surprised to see Yuu at least two inches shorter than her, since Ian was easily able to lift him off the floor. Despite of the fact that Yuu was grabbed and his feet couldn't touch the floor, he still grinned in amusement.
"Wow dude, you sure have anger problems," Yuu calmly said, shaking his head in disappointment as if Ian was acting really stupid, which he was. Ian raised his fist, ready to smash it into Yuu's jaw. Natsuki looked around, still seeing no Shizuru, but instead saw the whole class watching the scene. Sighing in disappointment, Natsuki stood up and grabbed Ian's fist before it even thought about moving, and squeezed it hard. Her nails also ripped into Ian's fist, and he winced in pain, causing her to almost let out a light laugh that the 'tough Ian's' voice cracked.
Ian dropped Yuu, who sat in his chair, smirking in victory, but Natsuki didn't let go of Ian's hand. She moved closer to him, and glared. "Don't ever do that again," was all she said, and she sat back down in her own seat. The bell rung, and Shizuru finally came into the classroom, and everyone shuffled to their respective seat, not wanting to get in trouble for not being in their seat. Except Ian, who still stood there glaring at Yuu.
Shizuru walked in the classroom and was a bit surprised when she saw someone in the boy Ayate Ian's seat. Looking at Natsuki, she saw the girl's emerald eyes obviously trying to tell her to make Ian sit somewhere else, or something among those lines. Ah, but she couldn't help resist abusing her power. "Ara, Ayate-san, class has started, please take a seat," and she nodded towards a desk on the far other side of the room, far away from Ian's friends.
"But, Man, this dude is in MY seat! Make him move!" Ian shouted, pointing at Yuu. Yuu meekly grinned and looked back at Ian, trying to hold back his laughter. Yuu actually really didn't care whether he sat here or there, as long as he sat and didn't stand then it was all good.
Shizuru looked at Ian, a bit irritated that he couldn't deal and whined like a fourth grader. Sighing, she pointed at the empty seat far away. "I don't care, you are disrupting class time. And it doesn't matter, I think its better for you to be separated from your friends or you won't pay attention. Now, sit." Shizuru said in a harsh voice, obviously serious about her decision. Ian glared at the temporary teacher, before glaring at Yuu, mouthing the words, 'you better watch out', before walking across the whole room with the kind of people he hated.
Shizuru looked at Natsuki who was trying to hold back a smile, not because of Ian being mad, but because of the way Shizuru acted mean. For some reason, Shizuru seemed to get the idea that Natsuki could imagine her being one of those mean monster teachers.
"Okay, you, are you the new student?" Shizuru said, her voice a bit flat when she looked at Yuu, feeling that the boy was familiar. Aside from that, he wasn't jealous…okay, yeah she was, she'd love to sit next to the girl in class, but, she's the teacher. Yuu stood up, and politely bowed. "Yes miss, my name is Yuu…" Yuu stopped, studying Shizuru.
Natsuki eyed Yuu because his jaw dropped, and he took of his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Shizuru had her hair half tied, so some of it was down, and some was up and tied into a small ponytail, and she wore regular blue jeans and flats, and a white t-shirt with a grey, black, and light blue striped hoodie that was zipped all the up to her breasts, so the white shirt was visible. Something felt burning in Natsuki as she wanted to glare at Yuu for looking at Shizuru like that, but she set aside her little flame as she watched intently what was going on.
Suddenly, Shizuru gasped and she dropped the attendance book she held, which made Natsuki even more mad. Hey, what the heck's going on…? She bitterly thought, not liking the idea of Yuu gaping at Shizuru, or vice versa.
"Momma!?"
Natsuki's eyes widened. Shizuru was a mom at the age of 22 with a boy that's probably 17 or 18?!
What. The. Hell.
Or rather, What. The. Fuck.

Once again, I apologize for the late update. And here is my ordeal of all the stories I've made.
Since I was stupid and kept putting so many and never bothered to finish, here is my goal.
Finish Truth be told and then Hostage,
Then HSD/Imperfectness and 7 minutes in heaven (which won't take long),
And then whatever I have in mind after.
Also the Momma part? An inspired twist that came from the story From mother and daughter to lovers by Rainee-chan.
Ahh, forbidden romances... 3
