A/N: Sorry for the long wait everyone. But thanks to your support, I am urged to keep on writing. In this chapter, we're seeing Kiyomaro and Megumi's relationship developing. Later chapters will deal with other events foreshadowed in previous chapters. This one's a little different but I hope you guys enjoy. And don't forget to review. ;D
Paparazzi (Part I)
It's the day after Megumi's party. Kiyomaro is looking forward to his first day in a relationship. After eating breakfast and taking an extra long shower, he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Lookin' good," he congratulated himself in the mirror while fixing his shirt collar. He then checked if his breath stinks or not. Since he just brushed his teeth, so it didn't stink but he sprayed some mouth spray just in case. He then decided to put some cologne on. Still quite unsatisfied, he even thought about combing his hair. "Why am I worrying so much about my looks?" he thought to himself. "Megumi already likes me for who I am. At least, that's how I feel…and that's what my answer talker is telling me anyway. Umm…I guess, Uhhmmm, I don't know. Megumi's so gorgeous all the time. I guess I just wanna made sure I'm fit to be her boyfriend." He suddenly turned his head to the clock. "Uh ohh, I'm gonna be late."
He ran downstairs and headed towards the door. After opening the door, he was bombarded with flashing lights from the cameras and questions from the paparazzi. "Are you Kiyomaro? How did you meet Megumi? Are you really dating the one-and-only Megumi Oumi?"
As soon as he saw this, he shut the front door and came up of a way to get out of his house. He headed upstairs and opened his window. He reached out to the tree and and jumped to the other end of the wall outside the house. He then immediately ran around the block to get to the train station, successfully avoiding the press.
"Whew, that was easy…" Kiyomaro sighed in relief. "I just hope they're not gonna be at school as well. I wonder what Megumi's up to."
At Megumi's …
Megumi is looking at her planner before she leaves for school.
"Books, check. Gym clothes. Check. Lunch. Check." Started looking at the mirror. "This should do. Looks. Check. Now all I need is Kiyo-chan." Started to giggle. Suddenly, she heard noises outside her apartment. She looked outside the window to find the paparazzi. Megumi, being used to these situations, called her manager immediately her security guards and her driver.
"Someone from my birthday must've spilled the news to the media. I hope Kiyomaro-kun is ok." She thought to herself, worried.
At Ashford Academy…
Kiyomaro's POV
Good thing the paparazzi didn't thought of haunting me in the train. But man, they're persistent! They pretty much blocked the entire entrance to the school. They're too much for our security guards alone to handle, and I'm not in the mood of handling them anyway. Now, I kinda know how Megumi-san must've felt. Oh well, I'll just sneak in from the back of the building.
As I was on my way behind our school, I saw a vehicle heading towards my way. I thought it was the paparazzi. Luckily, it was Megumi; she's getting into the school the same way I am.
"Ohayo Kiyomaro-kun." She greeted me and then gave me a kiss, for the win, my morning's brightened up already. "I hope you weren't haunted by the paparazzi."
I smirked; she realized that I already was. "I'm sorry about this Kiyomaro-kun." she apologized immediately; she looked so depressed all of a sudden.
I should have replied more kindly, now I made her feel bad.
"This is out of my control Kiyomaro-kun, I don't know what to do about this. I'm…I'm…." she tried to explain.
Oh crap, way to be smooth Kiyomaro, you just made your girlfriend cry. I felt so awkward about this so I have to say something. "It's ok Megumi-chan. I don't care about the paparazzi. I can get used to it. I can't help that if I'm dating a super hot pop star, can I? All that matter is that I'm with you. I love you." Ok, this is kinda cheesy, but I hope it works. I do feel that way anyway. I then gave Megumi an embrace to make her feel better. It just breaks my heart to see her sad like this.
"I'm sorry I cry too much Kiyomaro-kun." she wiped her tears away. "I love you too." She cuddled closer to me.
After our dramatic couple moment, we headed inside the school building.
Megumi's POV
I'm such a crybaby. I thought I was supposed to be strong-willed. Well, at least Kiyomaro really loves me. And I did like hugging him. I noticed he smelled really good today. I teased him about that on our way to the building; he was soo guilty. Haha…. He's such a hottie (I started to grin). On top of that, he's kind and smart too. And not just smart, I mean really smart; he's a genius. He's perfect.
As we reached the classroom, our friends just looked at us smiling. I'm glad they didn't ask questions like the paparazzi did. Either that, or they're afraid of getting in trouble if they do so. At lunch, our friends congratulated us now that we're a couple. Kiyomaro got harassed by Tenjo and Tonami as usual; they're not gonna make this easy for him since Kiyomaro is the first one to have a girlfriend. I decided to chat with my friends for a little while before eating lunch with Kiyomaro. It turned out that some guys are envy of Kiyomaro for having me. But I guess it's the same for me with other girls. I got a few dirty looks for two of the girls in our school; I guess they liked Kiyomaro as well. I wonder how Suzume is taking this. I always knew she had a big crush on my boyfriend. Does she even know yet? I guess she'll find out.
Paparazzi (Part II)
Megumi's POV
After a few weeks, the paparazzi did eased down on us. Kiyomaro's really good of finding ways how to escape the paparazzi. It's like a he has a computer installed in his head when he's thinking. He still managed to tutor me on top of that. By the way, he's getting even more aggressive than he was before. Sometimes when were alone the student council office, he'll start saying sweet compliments about me in his smooth voice, pin me to the wall, and start kissing me. I kinda get nervous sometimes when he's holding at my waist. I feel like he wants to pull my skirt down at any moment while he's kissing me. Or when he hugs me from behind, he's arms are getting closer to my chest that like he just want to grab my breasts in full. There was even one time when he's tutoring in my apartment and he took his shirt off, because it's too hot (yeah, right?). He then asked me if I I'm hot as well and stuff. I managed to be strong though. Although, I must admit how hot he was when doing that. He almost got me that time. I noticed his abs is more defined than before; I think he's working out a lot whenever I'm not with him. Ohh Kiyomaro-kun...
Anyway, today, Kiyomaro and I are going to a plaza at near Tokyo. The area is right at the skirt of the city so it wouldn't be so populated. My driver is giving us a ride there to avoid people recognizing me. When we stopped to pick up Kiyomaro, he paused after seeing me and his cheeks turned red. He said he's so lucky to be her boyfriend. I'm wearing a light blue dress with a matching white shoe and hat, but I didn't see anything extra special with my outfit. I thought Kiyomaro would get over getting stunned with my "stunning beauty" now that we're together, but I guess not. That's good I guess, he's still so in loved with me. And so am I with him (girlish giggle).
Third person POV
It was a nice day. After Kiyomaro and Megumi made it to the plaza, the two decided to have picnic under a tree. Kiyomaro tries to flirt more with Megumi and now seems to try getting a glimpse of Megumi's… you know.
"Kiyomaro-kun!" exclaimed Megumi. "Stop looking at my chest. I'm getting embarrassed." Megumi pleaded, starting to blush.
Kiyomaro blushed, knowing he's guilty. "I'm sorry Megumi-chan. I just umm…" scratching the back of his head. "I'm sorry. You're just so pretty. And you know…" he started getting serious. "when we get to that point" getting closer to Megumi, caressing her arms, fixating his eyes on hers, and his voice getting softer. "I would like to be able to feel your skin, your hands, your sweet lips, your chest, everything… I want to make you feel how much I love you."
It's Megumi's turn to blush. "Kiyomaro-kun, I don't know what to say. We're so young. But, I sometimes feel the same way too. But, I don't wanna mess up either. I love you Kiyomaro-kun." Megumi hugged Kiyomaro's head and kissed his head (more like his hair). "Can we please wait 'til we're older?"
Kiyomaro smiled. "Of course. Anything for you Megumi-chan."
"You promise on easing up on seducing me, right? Or even trying to peep on me?" Megumi pouted. "You know it's getting to me."
"That it's working?" Kiyomaro joked.
"NOOO!" Megumi responded immediately and pushed Kiyomaro away from her, getting even more embarrassed.
"Ahh " Kiyomaro getting up from the ground. "I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Okay, no more of those jokes. Wanna get some ice cream?" Trying to change the conversation.
Megumi smiled. "I guess that's a good way to cool off. But I'm still mad at you." Megumi teased, cleaning up the utensils they used for the picnic.
"Let me carry all of that for you, my lady." Kiyomaro pointing at the picnic basket and such.
"Sure." Megumi agreed, handing Kiyomaro the stuff.
After the two got some ice cream, Megumi did a little shopping. The two made shopping more enjoyable by trying on different hats and sunglasses on each other. However, a TV reporter spotted them while they're shopping and started spying on them. As they were leaving the fifth store they went to, they were surrounded by paparazzi.
"Not again." Megumi sighed.
"Ready Megumi, let's go!," Kiyomaro grabbed Megumi's hand and started to run. Kiyomaro headed to the woods to lose the paparazzi. After thirty minutes of running, it worked.
"Good thing we lost them, but I'm exhausted." Megumi complained.
"I'm sorry Megumi-san." Kiyomaro said, already caught up with his breath and examining the area. "We better get back soon though. We're quite a long way from the plaza right now."
"I agree." Megumi started to walk back. However, she wasn't paying much attention on where she's stepping and she slipped off balance. They were also on a semi-steep slope, so she rolled down as she fell (imagine they're on a hill of the woods).
"Megumi." Kiyomaro cried, running towards her. He caught up and got a hold of Megumi. He got her after rolling a good 5-feet of the slope. He pulled her towards him for an embrace. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But I think I hurt my ankle." Megumi replied.
"Could you walk?" Kiyomaro asked.
Megumi tried to stand up, but failed. So Kiyomaro decided to carry Megumi back, bridal style. Megumi can't help blushing as Kiyomaro carried her the entire way. Kiyomaro was worried but glad that Megumi has no further injuries.
Megumi put her hands around Kiyomaro's neck. "Thanks for carrying me Kiyomaro-kun. I'm not mad at you anymore."
"You're welcome." Kiyomaro grinned at her. "About earlier, I don't ever want you doing anything you don't want to do because of me. Sometimes, I have the urge to just…do something to you. But you never have to. We can wait until we're older, until we're ready. I'll wait for you. We only do it when you're ready. I love you."
Megumi smiled and felt relieved how much Kiyomaro cares for her.
Kiyomaro's POV
I'm glad Megumi's not mad at me anymore. I know she's kidding about it, but I can tell that my actions are really starting to bother her. I'm just doing what I was doing because…Okay, when you're girlfriend is as hot as Megumi, it's not easy to ignore your urges to…you know…I'm a guy, ok? But seriously, I love her very much and I don't want her getting upset over such things. As for the paparazzi, they sure are annoying as hell. But I can deal with them as long as I'm with Megumi.
It was already late when we got to Megumi's place. I noticed her ankle is giving her problems walking so I decided to stay in her place.
"I think it's best for me to stay here so I could take a look at your ankle." I suggested to her.
"Are you sure? I think I'm giving you too much troubles." She replied.
"No, no, not at all. And besides, I'm your boyfriend. I'm supposed to be watching over you." I assured her. "I still have some extra clothes here, right?"
"Yeah, they're in the closet." She pointed at the closet. "I think I'll take a shower now."
After Megumi took a shower, I took mine as well. I put some ointment at Megumi's ankle and gave her pain relief medicine to ease up the pain. I checked her ankle. Good thing she only had a sprained joint so it was only a minor injury. It should be healed in 2 days or so. Megumi offered me to sleep on her bed again. Yes! We just watched a movie while on the bed and eventually dazed away. We're almost like a married couple, without the sex, that is. But she was cuddling to me the entire time, which was really nice. She smelled sooo good and her skin is sooo freakin' soft. She's seducing me so bad, without even trying. I bet she doesn't even realize what she is doing to me. (Sigh). Anyway, as long as I'm with her, everything is all right. I don't think she'll let me score tonight though, but we'll just have to wait and see.
