Chapter Ten
. . .
Touko never wanted to get up. She hadn't realized how stiff and sore her back was from the other bed until she slept in this luxurious one last night. It was better than her bed back home, and Belle had told her many times that her bed was 'sinfully comfortable'. But the accident prone teen was wrong.
This bed is the one that's sinfully comfortable.
Touko snuggled into the warmth of it, aiming to nuzzle her head into those plush pillows but instead, her nose met muscled flesh.
'Muscled flesh?'
Blinking the sleep from her eyes rapidly, Touko's gaze was met with a well toned chest, smooth with a few random lime green hairs popping out. Her first thought was to panic and screech at the other teen, demanding to know what he thinks he's doing, sleeping right beside her without permission. But she stops the moment her eyes reaches his face.
N had a defenseless face while sleeping. No pinched eyebrows, no tension. She was mesmerized.
Touko took in the details of his face, the smoothness. Her heart speeding up by the sheer intensity of his beauty. She felt a little jealous of his looks, natural born beauty. And she nearly had a heart murmur when the young king opened a single eye, peering at her flushed face.
"Good morning," N closed his eye and smiled.
"Morning," Touko mumbled.
"A few minutes after you went to sleep, you decided to roll over and snuggle with me."
"W-what?" Touko looked appalled.
"And I was just too nice to push you away." The young king's arm was already wrapped around her shoulder and he tightened his hold.
Touko felt her face flame up again, clearly embarrassed, but N didn't seem to notice and used his free hand to run through her hair. They stayed like this for a couple moments longer, until Touko felt something poking into her stomach.
"N.. what is poking me?" Yet she had a pretty faint idea what exactly was poking her.
"S-sorry," N apologized and it was his turn to be embarrassed. "Concordia and Anthea told me that when my.. dick gets like this, it could cause problems. So I've been strongly advised to have cold showers, but if that doesn't work then I'm to just stroke until I come."
Touko swore that if she could, she would have foamed at the mouth the moment N said "dick". This innocent aura she always pictured him having didn't seem all that innocent anymore. She felt stupid for even thinking he was so innocent that he wouldn't even know what to do with his dick when it become all hard.. and stuff, much less jack off.
N is worried by her silence, and hurriedly assures her that it doesn't happen often.
"It's okay.. " Touko mumbles, still clearly shocked.
N, seeing as it wasn't a rejection, boldly pushed his erection into Touko's stomach and groans at the friction his silk boxers caused. The feeling was so intense, felt so much better then having it wilted down in the shower or by his own hands.
Touko stared, wide eyed, at his painfully blissful expression, half horrified, half entranced, and dare she say, some what aroused.
"Would you like to help me ease this little problem I have?" N smirked down at her, his eyes dancing with emotion.
Touko flushed and opened her mouth to respond but no words were formed. N laughed and moved away.
"The book you lent me is very resourceful."
'I should have known,' Touko thought with a scowl.
"I didn't know women had parts that are pleasing to a man's touch, that they could give such great pleasure, greater then what I do by myself. The male in the book claims that his hand can't compare to 'Mariko's' vagina. I knew girls were different from guys, but so different that it changes men when they get intimate?"
Touko felt her body grow hot just by N talking about such things.
"The couple in my book always have 'sex' with each other, claiming that it brings them closer than ever, more then family and friends." N's eyes stared down at Touko with half lidded eyes, which were now sparkling with lust. "I want to have 'sex' with you, Touko. I want to be close."
"But.. but.. " Touko forgot how to breathe. "Your father," was all she could bring up as an excuse. If he shot it down now, the smaller teen knew her hormones would give in to temptation.
N frowned.
"My father?"
"He said it's bad. And I can't sass you."
"Bad? How is the 'greatest pleasure' bad?"
Touko wished she was back in the glass room, in the corner where she could cry in frustration.
"It's not necessarily bad. But it could be addicting and distract you from your work."
"Did you have sex with anyone?" His face darkened a bit at the knowledge of his friend possibly getting close with another.
"What? No! I read a lot of romance novels and they always describe the pleasure being addicting." Touko had no clue why she needed to defend herself here but she was afraid he might use the "If you already did it with another, then doing it with me should be fine" card.
"Hmm," N hummed and got up from the bed, stretching with his arms above his head.
Touko couldn't help but stare at N's lean back, watching the muscles ripple there as he moves. 'He's really in shape and has a good body.. '
N had went to bed shirtless, so when he turned back to Touko, she got an eyeful of his front, again, but she didn't take time to appreciate because her eyes instantly dropped to the obvious bulge in his boxers.
"I'm going to shower," The young king declared loudly and Touko coughed nervously. He smiled deviously at her. "Unless you would like to join me?"
"I'm fine," She replied quickly and he laughed, heading over to his bathroom.
. . .
Touko and N were back in the office. She had wanted to stay, lazing around in the bed but the young king told her that she would be flanked with three or more Plasma members since there was no security cameras in his room.
Touko had reluctantly dragged herself out of the comfortable bed, promising it that she would return tonight. She took a quick shower and was happy to see a grey shirt and black shorts waiting for her on the counter.
In the office, Touko went straight to the glass room, pleased that the place was cleaned up and the bed was replaced with a maroon red couch, bookshelf and a flat screen TV.
N went straight to his desk while Touko tried not to skip too happily over to the couch, plopping down and turning on the TV; turning to a random channel. It was a kid's show. Innocent. People dressed up as Pokemon, running around doing silly things. She could handle this.
She could.
..
Touko slowly turned her head to the side, looking at N from the corner of her eye before it dropped to his legs. Possibly what's between his legs.
The door to the office suddenly slammed open, an angry Ghetsis barging in and his gaze whipping to Touko, fury clear within them. The smaller teen had whipped her head back to the TV so fast, she almost felt like she gave herself whiplash. The Sage then looked towards the young king.
"What is this?"
"What's wrong, father?"
"This!" He pointed to Touko. "There's rumors flying around this castle, faster than a.. a.. "
"Deoxys?" Touko added in a deadpanned tone. Ghetsis glared at her.
"And I have a feeling those rumors are far from a lie."
"But keeping her in there was the way people treat Pokemon."
"Then it's teaching her a lesson!"
"She's been in there long enough!"
"Then give her, her own room to sleep in! Or at least the room next to yours!"
"What's wrong with her sleeping in my room? We're just friends."
"Friends already? Great, kick her out!"
"I want to be best friends with Touko!"
"What's the difference?" Ghetsis growled out, getting tired of this pointless conversation.
"It's better then the 'friend' level!"
Ghetsis barked out a laugh.
"You're practically best friends now, with you allowing her to sleep in your room!"
"Well, what if I want to be Touko's bo-"
"Beeeee Touko's booster for whenever.. she's.. feeling.. down.. " 'Booster?' Touko was mentally screaming at self for coming up with such a stupid answer but it was on short notice!
Ghetsis raises a single brow at her, clearly not amused.
"Best friends are good boosters," she added in weakly, her forced smile ready to crumble.
The Sage ignored her and turned his attention back to the king.
"I want her in here or in a different room before tonight."
"Touko staying in my room isn't harming anyone. I still get my work done."
"Fine," the older man growled out, knowing he wasn't going to win this round. "But if I hear any more nonsense involving her, I'm going to bring it up with the Sage council, declaring that the kings 'friend' is hindering his abilities and responsibilities to work as a rule."
N inhaled sharply and frowned up at his father but said nothing to anger the great Sage any further. Ghetsis sniffed at his son and turned to Touko, eyeing her with something beyond hate.
"You know, since it seems she's practically free now, she could hang out with more Plasma members. So she won't get bored or lonely when you're busy at work and meetings."
"That's not a bad idea," N murmured, but wasn't exactly thrilled about Touko sharing friendship with anyone else here, other than him.
"Namely.. Hoshi." Ghetsis pressed.
Touko choked on air and N frowned deeply.
"Why Hoshi?" The you king demanded.
"He knows her better than any other Plasma member. Plus they seem like good friends, already."
N clenched his teeth together, a muscle working in his jaw as he felt annoyance and something else he couldn't describe.
Touko knew what Ghetsis was trying to do. Separate N and herself apart while pushing her to Hoshi, who will hopefully help her plan out on how to escape this place.
"I'll even take Touko to Hoshi. Right. This. Moment." He eyed the smaller teen, who swallowed loudly.
"I guess, I don't mind.. " she hesitantly agreed but automatically looked towards N.
N was holding back, his frame almost trembling with anger. He was wondering why his father was trying to get between Touko and himself. Sighing, he went back to work.
"Fine."
Touko was about to ask N what was wrong until Ghetsis was ushering her out of the room. She got up and made her way over, but apparently was too slow for the older mans liking, so by a single finger being pushed into the middle of her back, she was out faster than she would have liked. The smaller teen refrained from making any abnormal noises and left the room, the Sage hot on her heels.
Ghetsis then took the lead after the door was shut and took her down to hall until they reached a set of elevators. The two of them waited in silence for a couple minutes before there was a soft 'ding', signaling that the elevator had arrived to their floor.
Touko was reluctant to go into a enclosed space with someone with a demented personality but she had no other choice so she stepped into the elevator with Ghetsis behind her.
He stayed at a respectable distance and pushed a button at this side before the elevator started to descend down at a smooth yet fast pace.
"I would throttle you if there wasn't any cameras in here," he said while barely moving his lips when talking so whoever's on guard duty wouldn't figure out what he was saying.
"You act as if it was my idea," Touko grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well he wouldn't have moved you in if he didn't trust you enough. He's trusting too much. Make your escape soon, dammit." Ghetsis snarled, venom dripping from his words.
"I'm working on it." She bit out and he sneered down at her.
"Hoshi is in patrolling the fifty-third floor. Alone. Use that time to figure out a plan."
"Right," she mumbled. "How long will I be with him?"
"Probably until the end of the day, when N finishes his work, like a good King"
They said nothing more, even when the elevator came to a stop. Hoshi was there, waiting with a wary smile on his face. Ghetsis jabbed his finger into Touko's back once again, forcing her out of the elevator and jabbed the button to close the doors before going to a different floor.
"Rotten old man," Touko hissed at the elevator doors before turning to Hoshi, smiling lightly. "Hello."
"Hey," he returned the smile before gesturing down a hall. "Shall we walk?"
"Let's," she nodded and they starting walking at a relaxing pace.
Hoshi pointed out to pictures and sculptures, telling about their histories, how they were famous, exotic and why. Touko immediately became interested in the stories behind the mysterious paintings. Some of them had deep meaning behind them, others she couldn't just wrap her head around.
The teen was actually enjoying the stroll, nearly containing her excitement when Hoshi opened some doors to peer into them. According to the older man, most rooms were for the Plasma members to sleep in. Two or three per room. The Plasma members who lived in Castelia City preferred to go home at the end of their shift, while others believe it would be better to just stay for weeks at a time instead of travels back and forth to home.
"I never knew there was so many members," Touko confessed.
"We got more resumes to join after the kings speech," Hoshi admitted with a slight smile before sighing. "I never knew Ghetsis was so.. "
"Evil?"
"I suppose. Evil is a strong word, though. More like.. twisted."
"Twisted Evil. Sounds perfectly like him," Touko mused and chuckled when Hoshi lightly flicked her ear lobe.
"You're a little trouble maker."
"Well I'm not gonna be docile."
"That's good. If you were, it would be pretty boring around here."
The rest of the day continued with Hoshi showing Touko around, going through six more floors before he noticed that his shift was almost ending soon.
"It's almost eight, my shift will be ending. I just need to check out one more room and I'll return you to the king."
Touko rolled her eyes, not liking how he referred to her as a "pet", or something, but didn't respond. She followed him to big double metal doors, where Hoshi pulled keys from his pocket to unlock the doors and proceed to enter.
"A meeting room?" She questioned.
"Yes. There are various meeting rooms in the tower, this one has metal doors so only trivial matters are held here."
"So all matters range, depending on the.. door?"
"That is correct."
"So if metal is for only not so important stuff, what are the other doors?"
"Gold is for high priority, metal for trivial, bronze for stuff that rarely needs a full meeting to be looked into. Bullet and soundproof glass are for the Great Sages, though. Their meetings are higher than gold, and they relocate from floor to floor."
"Why is that?"
"They never post on a bulletin board when their meetings are. We've caught a few spies within our group, trying to wire bugs into the meetings, but the security has gotten tighter over the last few months. We use to be allowed to bring our uniform home, but now we had to turn them in before leaving. From there, they are checked for any bugs before cleaned."
"Wow," Touko breathed. "Going to such extent."
"Yeah. Pure dedication."
Hoshi walked around the room, checking behind the door, in the corners, under the long table and under the chairs. When he made sure everything was in place and safe, he gave a sign to the security camera in the corner. Touko flipped them off for good measure.
"Touko, Touko," Hoshi shook his head but there was a smile fighting to break out on his face.
"Yes?" She asked so innocently, the Plasma member couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, look, a radio."
Touko went over to the small red device and turned it on.
'- World is shocked and restless after hearing about the decision in Unova to ban people from owned or catching Pokemon. Although the mayors can't do anything to sway the king of Unova of his decision, trainers are planning to go over to the estranged Pokemon country to try and talk to the king ago-'
Hoshi quickly changed the channel, sending a wary look in Touko's direction.
"Sorry.. " She whispered.
"It's fine. Even though I'm suppose to be helping you escape, it still feels weird to betray the king like this."
There was an awkward silence between them before a catchy melody started to play.
"Isn't that.. the theme song for Black City? They actually play their themes on the radio?"
"Yes, they do. Would you like to listen to a different channel instead?"
"No, this station is fine. It's just when you've been to the places, they play their anthem all the time. In the morning, in the afternoon, at night time. Wherever you go, there'll be a radio playing their damned song." Touko chuckled mirthlessly, remembering she almost had to smash someone's radio because they wouldn't stop playing a song over and over again.
"I agree."
Touko started to dance a little, swinging her hips to match the catchy beat. Hoshi grinned and joined in, standing close but respecting her personal space. Touko raised a single brow at him but didn't stop dancing.
"If I didn't know you had a waiting wife, I'd think you were coming onto me, Mr. Hoshi."
"If I didn't have a waiting wife, I would have pounced on you the moment the chance presented itself."
Touko barked out a laugh.
"You sure are a ladies man. You know what we wanna hear."
"Of course! I use to be a well known player in my hometown, wooing all the lovely ladies at the bar, before moving to the city to become a business man."
"Wooing," Touko couldn't help but snort at the word.
"Yes. Wooing. The is until I met my wife, Seira." Hoshi pulled out a picture and handed it to Touko.
Touko expected to see the most beautiful person ever, the way Hoshi talked about her before, but the woman she saw had curly black hair and brown eyes, heart shaped face, small heart shape lips and a nose that seemed a bit too big for her face. All in all, she was plain looking. But the look Hoshi got when gazing at the picture told the teen the whole thing: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
"She's pretty," Touko comments and Hoshi snorted.
"She's beautiful, I love her," he murmured, taking one more glance at the picture before pocketing it.
"Do you see her often?"
"Around two, to three times a month"
"Why so little?"
"The more I work, the more money I get. I promised her I would take time off work two months before the baby is born. I want to have as much money to support her and our child as possible.
"That's sweet" I murmured.
"Sweet," He scoffed, "She's a hellion. Every time I come home, she interrogates me, asking if I had an affair with another woman at work."
"Really? Is she jealous?"
"Yes. And possessive."
"I would be jealous too," Touko mumbled and grinned teasingly at him. "You're not bad looking."
Hoshi laughs, amused.
"Not bad looking, huh? I bet I can't compare to the king," Touko felt her face flare up.
"H-he's not bad looking either."
"He also has jealousy issues."
"You noticed?" she asked, deadpanned.
"I do have security duty sometimes. And the display he showed when we were just playing cards." He shakes his head "Unpredictable. He needs to learn to share."
"Why, Hoshi, how would you think your wife would react if I asked her to share you."
"Do you want to share with her, Touko?" Hoshi's eyes glitter with playfulness.
Touko laughed.
"I swear, if I had met you before any of this happen, I would probably swoon under all that smooth talk."
"But now you've wised up." She nodded. "That's good. You're more aware."
"I'm glad too. Or else I might had wilted to a night of hot passions." Touko muttered, starting to hate the phrase.
They continued to dance, listening to the different tunes on the radio until a door slammed open the second time that day, causing Touko to jerk forward and clutch onto Hoshi's uniform. Turning her head to the side, Touko spotted N in the door way, his eyes not exactly sending friendly vibes when landing on the older male.
Hoshi instantly stood straight, frozen and saluted his king. Touko released his uniform and turned around, smiling warily at N.
"Hey, N. Done work?"
"Hn. At ease, Grunt." Hoshi flinched at the degrading term and lowered his hand but kept tense. "I believe your shift ended twenty minutes ago. You may leave."
"Yes. Thank you, King N." Hoshi headed towards the door, bowed before the younger male and left the room.
"N.. " Touko's voice held a warning but the moment her friend left the room, the young king's face brightened in her direction.
"I was waiting for you to come up." N murmured, walking straight over to the other teen. "I was beginning to worry about.. "
"About.. ?"
"If you and Hoshi were having sex."
"I should ignore you for the rest of my life."
"But you two are close!"
"We are, but not in that sense! N, Hoshi has a wife at home, he has someone to have sex with and it sure as hell ain't me."
"But.. " He bit his lip. "A 'wife' is a higher upgrade then 'girlfriend', right?"
"Yep."
"Touko.. "
"No.. "
N huffed and glanced at the radio before frowning.
"You were clinging to him."
"Only because you scared me half to death when slamming the door open. Ever thought the door has feelings?"
"What were you doing before?"
"Just dancing."
"Dancing?"
"Uh-huh. Have you danced before?"
".. "
".. Do you know what dancing even is?"
"Of course I do," He replied hotly. "I've seen it in movies."
"Okay, let's dance a bit." The petite teen didn't want to return to the bedroom just yet.
Touko started to sway her hips once again and N started to shift from foot to foot, nervous. The smaller teen sighed. The radio was already half way through the slow song playing, so she grabbed one of N's hands and placed them on her hips while wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Now, just follow my lead, look down at your feet if you have to. Normally it's the guy leading but I guess I'll have to teach you." He nodded eagerly, tightening his hold on her hips.
Touko started off slow, going from side to side before leading him around the room in slow circles. N stepped on her feet a couple times, making her wince but she assured him that it was fine and they continued.
After ten minutes, N finally got the hang of it and started to lead Touko this time, even if the slow song ended some time ago and the radio was now playing a fast beat tune. The smaller teen actually enjoyed being lead around the room, hating to admit to herself that she enjoyed it even more when she felt the kings thumbs rub tantalizing circles on her hips with his thumbs.
N pulled her closer, liking the closeness. She smelled like his shampoo and soap, which she was forced to use, since neither wanted to collect her girly smelling stuff from the bathroom at the office. The king was torn between which smell he liked better on her. With her fruity smell, it screamed "Taste me!" but with his, it screamed "N's best friend, don't touch!".
Touko sighed contently and leaned her head against the broad chest, smiling when she heard N's heart beat race ahead with that single action. She didn't think he would catch onto dancing so fast. 'Must be a hidden talent,'. The smaller teen tried not to giggle at the thought. It was almost too cute.
A song with a bit of a faster pace came on, causing N to speed up his steps. Touko nearly stumbled a couple times, her face flushing when N laughed.
"Why are you going so fast?"
"Because it's fun?" He gave her a cheeky grin and her lips twitched.
"Alright, wise guy."
Touko held on tight and began to use her weight to help them spin. Now it was N's turn to stumble. She let out excited laugh, her eyes dancing with mirth. The young king stared for a moment, mesmerized, until his back slammed against something solid.
"Ugh!" N grunted, his face scrunching up in pain.
"Are you okay?" Touko leaned back to look up at his face, worried written all over her face.
"Yeah. You just don't know your own strength," he teased, causing the smaller teen to let out a sigh of relief.
"Should we head back to your room now?"
"Our room," he corrected.
"Fine. Our room."
"Not yet, I want to stay like this for awhile longer."
N wrapped his arms more securely around Touko, hugging her closer so that his chin rested on the top of her head.
'Selfish, but cute,' Touko thought and kept her arms loosely wrapped around N's neck. She continued to listen to his erratic heartbeat and was about to jokingly ask the king if he was going into cardiac arrest but felt something poking her stomach. For the second time that day.
Touko then thought she might be the one to go into cardiac arrest.
"N.. " She whispered, unsure of what else to say. ''Hey, tell your pants it's not polite to point' doesn't exactly seem possible at this moment. Or I could pull back and say 'Hey, wanna see my Metapod use harden too?' isn't thrilling either,' she mused.
"Touko.. " The young king breathed huskily. "S-sorry.. you can leave first, if you want."
Touko looked up into N's face, watching him squint back down at her, brows furrowed, cheeks flushed and mouth slightly apart. She nervously licked her bottom lip and stood her ground, not really knowing what has gotten into her. 'I wanna watch his expression some more.. I wanna see him.. '
Experimentally, Touko shifted her hips, which were snug against N's. The young king gasp, the air coming as a hiss through clenched teeth. His arms constricted around her, causing the smaller teen to almost lose her breath.
Touko felt her body growing hotter by the moment, her cheeks flushing under the heavy pants coming from N. Now, more boldly, she began to rotate her hips painfully slow, bringing them around fast then dragging slowly when brushing against the young king.
Touko watched his face, fascinated that she could bring out such emotion and sounds from N. It felt so exhilarating and fresh. She felt power. Goosebumps covered her skin at the thought of being in control for the first time since she came here. It was too intoxicating to be real.
"Touko," N half whined, half breathed, cracking his eyes open to stare down at the smaller teen, wondering why she suddenly stop.
"Oops," She thrust forward, earning herself a small cry from the young king. The sound ran straight down to her nether regions, making her slick.
N started to thrust back, though the movements were jerky and rough, he couldn't stop panting, groaning. The sensations were so much better than when he was by himself in the shower. Having someone else, having his friend, bring him such feelings made his blood boil with lust. It was too good.
This continued on for a couple minutes more until N started to move faster, his hands reaching up to grip onto the smaller teen's shoulders, feeling himself on the edge of losing control.
"N.. " Touko cried out softly, part curiosity, part fear and part need.
After hearing her call out his name in such a sensual way, N felt himself unravel, being caught into the winds of pleasure. He shivered and convulsed, hips now moving in broken thrusts before crying out with his release.
Touko's eyes widened as she watched sheer rapture contort N's face, his eyes clenched shut, mouth wide open in a silent scream, back arching with his head thrown back, showing off the creamy pale neck.
The two teens stood there for long moments, panting for air. N was still gripping into Touko's shoulders hard and didn't let go until she whimpered. Without saying a word, he grabbed her hand and walked out of the room, heading back to the elevator.
The whole way back to the kings room was silent between the two, unnerving Touko beyond comfort. Although her shoulders were feeling better, the hand N held was starting to hurt but she said nothing.
Once they reached the room N went straight to the bed, not changing out of his business clothes, or spoiled pants, and crawled under the blankets. Touko stood there, surprised. She worried her bottom lip for a second before grabbing the long t-shirt she used yesterday, headed to the bathroom and changed.
When Touko came back out, N was in the same position and she figured he was just exhausted beyond belief and didn't care to change out of his clothes. She climbed into her side of the bed, her back facing N.
The young teen still felt her blood pumping with adrenaline, felt that every pore in her body was alive with electricity. It was difficult to come off the high but she did it after an hour of rolling around and finding a comfortable spot lying on her back. But there was one shocked thought lingering in her mind.
'I dominated the King.. '

A/N: Thank you everyone for your concern! The eye professional only told me what I was told the week before so I have to go back in the next one or two weeks. Lame.
Oh ho ho, hope everyone enjoyed chapter 10! Things are starting to move on!
