Chapter 11: In another life, I would be your girl
Mitsuki POV
I slowly sat up hoping the burning fire in my head would go away. I saw Takuto smirk at me and I stuck my tongue out. "It's not funny," I moaned falling back to the pillow. To be honest I didn't want to go anywhere for the day, I wanted to fall in a hole and wither away.
"Mitsuki," he chuckled. "I'm normally the one who's hung over or still drunk in the morning, and to be honest seeing my cute little girlfriend with the side affects and not me is just like icing on the cake." I moaned rolling onto my stomach.
"Not helping," I whined.
"Here I know a good way to make you forget," he whispered, placing his hand under my abdomen flipping me over hovering just above my face. I blushed as his dark blue eyes bore into my own. He slowly leaned forward until our lips were barley touching, the sensation tickled my skin sending a feverish shiver down my spine. His tongue slowly trailed along my bottom lip before plunging into my opened mouth sliding against my tongue.
Wow, before him I don't think my tongue has gotten so much action in my entire life. I mean Eichi and I had had our share of heated kisses in our relationship but it never involved our tongues rubbing together like mine and Takuto's were. Heck I think within the few days Takuto and I had been together we had kissed more then Eichi and I had the entire time we were together.
"Mm," I moaned when his hand ran over my chest gently cupping one of my breasts. He was pretty good at distracting me, and if I had no morals or conscience then I would have ripped off his briefs and rode him then and there. But I had morals, and I wanted to wait for the perfect moment to make love to him.
"You ready to go all the way?" he whispered in my ear making me push him off of me. He only chuckled shaking his head. "I was just kidding, I want it to be special too," he admitted sitting up as he ran his hand through his dark hair. I smiled at him with a blush, turning even more embarrassed when his blue eyes met mine.
"Turned you on a little just there didn't I?" he asked with a wink making me laugh. God laughing hurt, but he was such a dork that I couldn't help it. And to be honest he seriously turned me on just then. I sat up pushing his shoulder.
"You're a dork," I giggled shaking my head. He chuckled getting out of the bed, which made me want to pull him back. I could tell her didn't want to get out of bed either but if we wanted to remain suspicious then we would have to act accordingly. Once we were both changed we walked up the stairs happily giggling at chattering before we were met with Takuto's three other roommates staring us down suspiciously. I didn't miss how Eric and Sky were giving me death glares. I swallowed involuntarily and grabbed Takuto's hand scooting closer to him.
"So where are we going?" Takuto asked scratching the back of his head. I could tell he was just as uncomfortable as me, feeling the tension and jealousy radiating off two of his roommates.
"The diner down the street, we could all walk," Trent suggested making my stomach flip. Normally I wouldn't mind walking and getting fresh air and exercise, however having a mind numbing headache did not making me so excited about it.
"Well that would be great but Maguri has a mean hangover and I'm not sure walking is on the top of his to do list as of now," Takuto interjected making me let out a sigh of relief. I didn't miss the sideways glance and wink he gave me making me smile.
"Then we can take my truck," Trent smiled walking over to a chair which his coat was carelessly hung over. "I don't mind if it's in Maguri's best interest," he winked making Takuto growl in protest. I giggled giving his hand a small squeeze.
Once we got outside both Sky and Eric jumped in the back of the five seated truck, which would mean either I or Takuto would have to sit in the front or in the back. "Really?" I heard Takuto hiss under his breath when he saw how the seating arrangements would be.
"It's okay, it'll only be a short while," I whispered kissing his cheek. He nodded solemnly then climbed in the back. I guess he trusted my safety more with Trent then with the other two.
Takuto POV
These two stupid losers sat in the back separating Mitsuki and I, and to make matters worse they both chose the window sides so I was sandwiched between the two. It was even more awkward when Sky rested his hand right on the side of his leg so that the back of his hand was touching my thigh. And to distract me more Eric had his hand under his leg and was slowly moving it so it was almost under my leg…oh shit.
"Eric don't grope his ass!" Sky screamed making me and Mitsuki jump. Eric glared at Sky and slowly retreated his hand. And for once, I was thankful for Sky's presence.
"Well you're not any better trying to hold his hand!" Eric retorted, looking pointedly at Sky's hand then to mine. I sighed titling my head back. Who knew a five minute drive could seem so long.
"Hey you three, behave yourselves!" Trent called from the front seat making Mitsuki giggle.
"Hey! I wasn't doing anything!" I whined crossing my arms. When we finally got there I let out a sigh of relief as we climbed out of the car. I was saved. I quickly walked to Mitsuki's side taking her hand in mine as we walked into the restaurant. I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore the pointed stares I got from other customers just by holding my 'boyfriends' hand.
When we were all seated I was glad we were in a more secluded corner so that I wouldn't have to deal with all the weird stares. God, it wasn't that bad was it? Two guys holding hands? And plus in reality we both weren't two guys, one was a girl.
As we ordered our food we sat in awkward silence not knowing what to say until Trent spoke up. "Fun party last night," he smiled taking a sip of the orange juice before him.
"Yeah, you just say that because you got to swap spit with that tall dark and handsome guy last night," Eric interjected. I was kind of glad I couldn't remember a lot of last night because I don't know if I would be entirely comfortable seeing all the PDA happening.
"Well Maguri wasn't letting me in his pants so I had to find someone," he chuckled wiggling his eyebrows at me. I blushed looking at my hands on my lap when I saw Takuto shift in his chair.
"Hey, you watch yourself," Takuto threatened jokingly. Well at least I think that was how he was trying to make it because he chuckled after. Again our table was filled with silence and a few side conversation until our food was brought to us. I had just ordered pancakes and an Orange juice and Takuto had an omelet with toast and a coffee.
"So you two disappeared pretty quick last night," Trent pointed as he ate his waffles. I blushed picking at my food.
"Yeah well we had more important things to do," Takuto answered taking a sip of his coffee.
"So who does what?" Sky asked looking from me to Takuto. I didn't know what he was talking about? We both sang…but he didn't need to know that. But maybe his question had entailed something else since Takuto was choking on his coffee.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently looking at the man as Takuto started pounding his chest, trying to rid his throat of the coffee stuck in it. I gently placed my hand on his arm which rested on the table.
"You know when you two are-"
"Is this really dinner conversation?" Trent asked, giving Sky a placating look.
"Y-Yeah isn't there something else we could talk about?" Takuto was finally able to talk again, I didn't miss how he pushed his coffee away as if it would prevent it from 'attacking' him again. I slightly giggled catching him looking at me for a moment then looking away with a slight blush.
"No, I want to know, it's not like there are any women here so we don't need to worry about decency," he scoffed placing his arm on the table. I still had no idea what he wanted to know. I heard Takuto sigh making me look at him. "So just tell me, in bed who's the giver and who's the receiver," he growled. I blushed understanding. He wanted to know who was the 'girl' and who was the 'guy' in the relationship. That must be why Takuto choked on his coffee.
"Isn't it obvious?" Eric asked, finally putting some input on the conversation. Takuto ran his hand over his face and I blushed even redder. Last night we had almost…but Takuto was too big of a gentlemen to take advantage of me.
"Well what if they like to role play or switch sometimes," Sky voiced. I almost felt the dark aura radiating off Takuto. Oh god, I knew this type of stuff bothered him. I had to help him! He had saved me so many times it was my turn to be the hero!
"I'm obviously always the girl!" I blurted slamming my fist on the table. All four men stared at me startled. I cleared my throat sinking into my chair a little bit. "Ehem, I ah, I just wanted to make it clear. And what me and Takuto do in bed is really no ones business except ours…" I added taking a sip of my orange juice.
Takuto POV
Well if that wasn't an incredibly sexy way to answer then I didn't know what was. She had taken total control over Sky and Eric's conversation and made them shut their mouths as quick as they had opened them. Heh, I was glad to call her mine. She was so cute when she sunk back and drank her orange juice. If I had her with me all the time when those two had stupid petty fights like this…
"Um, I have to go to the bathroom," Mitsuki spoke raising to her feet quickly leaving the table. As soon as she was gone all eyes were on me. I picked up a piece of toast trying to act inconspicuous taking a bite when my eyes met Trent's.
"…What?" I asked shortly
"He's quite the catch," Trent spoke, looking the way Mitsuki had just left. I nodded then took a sip of Mitsuki's orange juice hoping it wouldn't get stuck in my throat like the evil coffee had.
"Yeah…where did you two meet again?" Sky asked biting his lip. Right, Mitsuki and I had never planned out our alibi for that story, I had to think fast! I looked around the restaurant as if it would give me some sort of answer.
"Ah, the bar," I answered standing from the table before they could interrogate me further. "Excuse me, I'll just go see if Maguri is okay." I don't know why I said that, I mean it's not like Mitsuki flushed herself down the toilet or anything…I hope. After some thought I picked up my pace to the bathroom actually thinking that something happened to her. She had left the table a long time and worry got the best of me. I held my breath until I saw a petite person in a blonde wig.
"What are you doing?" I asked as she stood outside of the two bathrooms hastily looking from one to the other.
"W-which one do I use?" she asked bouncing up and down, giving me the conclusion that she really had to go. Her frantic eyes looked to me and I held in my chuckle as I pointed to the mans bathroom.
"I don't think the women will be happy if they see a guy in the ladies room," I answered opening up the door to the men's room for her. She nodded then ran into the room momentarily looking at the men's urinals before sprinting into a stall.
"Y-you know you can go now Takuto," she said embarrassed. I had to remind myself that she was indeed a women and nodded leaving the room waiting just outside of it. When she was finished she walked out looking up to me then to the wall.
"What?" I asked with a smile. She blushed then looked back to me.
"I've never used the men's room before…"
"And for good reason," I smiled pulling her into my arms. She smiled looking up to me. "I don't want to go sit at that table again," I sighed looking into her eyes. Being interrogated at breakfast by Sky and Eric was enough for an entire lifetime.
"I don't-" she had been looking at me until her eyes slightly traveled down the hallway. I felt her stiffen in my arms and saw what she was looking at. Eichi was walking towards us, he hadn't noticed us yet but I was sure if he looked into her face he would recognize her. "Takuto what are you-?" I pushed her against a wall with my elbows bent against it on either side of her head as I crashed my lips to hers making sure her face was out of sight. I smiled when her arms wrapped around my neck and I deepened the kiss.
Mitsuki POV
And just like that he saved me again. I leaned into his lips wanting him to hold me closer then humanly possible. I felt like I was melting against his lips as his tongue slowly trail into my mouth. I slowly lifted my leg so my knee hung by his hips, and pulled him closer.
"Mm, why do you have to tempt me," he breathed into my mouth. I shrugged my shoulders running my tongue along his. His hand ran down my sides and after a few moments we remembered the important bodily functions of breathing… We both pulled back with a gasp only to be interrupted when a slow clap filled the air. We looked to where the sound came from and froze.
"Very well done, although I never remember you sticking your tongue down my throat…Mitsuki." I gasped looking straight into Eichi's hazel eyes.
"H-how did you?" I asked covering my mouth not missing how Takuto stayed stuck where he was not letting Eichi get a shot of me.
"Oh please, I saw you two walk in. You may be able to wear a wig and look like a boy, but I could tell who you were from a mile away. And plus I got a phone call a few nights back," he smiled crossing his arms across his chest.
"The fuck are you talking about?" Takuto hissed turning to look at Eichi, yet still covering me. I heard Eichi chuckle.
"The night you apparently confessed to Mitsuki, I don't know if you thought you were alone but Kai was most definitely there." I covered my mouth. Crap I thought he was still with Sky that night!
"Turns out he heard you two and then he saw you flock to the bedroom. You know Mitsuki I find it funny that we dated for over two years and you wouldn't let me see you naked, but you know this man for under a month and you are willing to drop your pants for him. And isn't he gay anyways?" Eichi asked looking between the two of us.
"He's not…" I answered not thinking before I spoke. "He was pretending so that he had somewhere to live- And we never slept together!" I added, yelling at him from behind Takuto.
"Is that so!" Eichi laughed looking to Takuto who was gritting his teeth.
"What the fuck do you want!" Takuto asked, clearly annoyed with Eichi's laughing. I sunk back only hearing him raise his voice a few times.
"I just want my girlfriend and then I'll be on my way," he smiled raising his hand out to me.
"Like hell you do, she's mine now and you will never hurt her again." Takuto growled thinking he had won the battle, until Eichi clicked his tongue.
"You know, for someone who found a way to trick and lie to your roommates about your sexuality you sure are dense," he chuckled again taking a step towards us like some sort of predator. "Who do you think called me to let me know what you two were cooking up, Hm? I mean he was already incorporated in the conversation."
"Kai," I whispered, even thought I knew the question was rhetorical.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Takuto spat not budging from where he stood.
"Isn't it painfully obvious Takuto? I have even figured it out. Kai hates you because the man he was desperately in love with left him for you. Of course you never acknowledged Sky which made him angry so he started telling Kai those lies about your little 'romance' so that he had a legitimate reason for leaving Kai. But of course this was all lies and Kai broken hearted left. But then you met Mitsuki, Kai's cousin. As soon as you two started hooking up Kai grew furious and there was only one thing he wanted more then anything; to hurt you. Of course at first I was not too comfortable with helping him with this issue but as soon as he told me what you two had been doing I grew furious and agreed." He looked between the two of us.
"Yeah so you figured everything out," Takuto growled slowly leaving my side. Oh crap he was going to fight Eichi, I had to do something!
"Stop you two! Eichi I don't love you anymore okay so just leave it at that!" I cried out, somehow, stupidly thinking my feeble attempt would work. This only made Eichi laugh.
"Oh don't complain my dear. You see you're leaving with me right now whether Takuto wants you to or not," he smiled.
"Like hell she is!"
"Really?" Eichi's grin grew. "You see Kai is in this restaurant right now as well and as soon as I give him the word he tells your other roommates what you two have been doing and it's over, not to mention I tell Mitsuki's grandmother as well."
"I…" Takuto was at a loss of words.
"Eichi stop this! Why cant you accept I moved on?" I asked.
"Because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me Mitsuki. I love you more then he ever could! I mean heck we were high school sweet hearts, we used to talk about our future. Remember? We were going to have a nice house with three kids and a dog?" I didn't know how to respond, a wave of nostalgia hit me as I remembered all those times we would just sit and talk, all those times he was so gentle with me. What happened to us?
"Mitsuki, please I love you so much," and for once I heard his old voice. The old Eichi who used to hold me and tell me he loved me, the one I knew would never hurt me.
"E-Eichi," I whispered taking a step towards him. What was I supposed to do? What the hell was I supposed to do! Why was I so entranced by Takuto, why the hell did he get to me so fast? I hadn't even been dating him that long and I was almost ready to get naked for him. Crap, I needed to think things over. This was wrong, was mine and Takuto's relationship just based off of lust? I mean we did talk, but I didn't really know that much about him other then the fact that his girlfriend cheated on him…but that wasn't very much. "I love you…I still do," I did. I was blinded by Takuto but I had to remember who my heart belonged to…Eichi.
I saw Takuto do a double take between the two of us. "M-Mitsuki," and that alone could have broken my heart. Takuto's heart broken voice whispering my name as if I had just pierced his heart.
"Takuto I'm so sorry," I whispered walking to Eichi's side. My heart raced as Eichi pulled me into a hug. My mind was whirling and I was still confused. Eichi was the right choice…right? I mean the fact that my heart felt like it was split in two was just because I felt bad for denying Eichi all this time. I mean he did cheat on me…but that was just because I was being a stiff and wouldn't let him have any. I mean I guess I did the same thing going after Takuto…right?
"Let's go babe," he smiled kissing my cheek. I nodded then looked back at Takuto one more time, I almost ran back to him when I saw the tears brimming around his eyes.
"B-but Eichi, Takuto is safe right?" I asked.
"Course," he nodded. What was I doing…what was I supposed to say to Takuto.
"Common." I didn't have a chance to decided what was right before Eichi swept me out of the restaurant.
Takuto POV
What the fuck just happened? Did I not just save her? Did she not say she loved me this morning…was that just the most fucking shallow thing I had ever witnessed? I fell to my knees looking at the ground. The pain in my heart was worse then when I saw Hikari…fuck Hikari, she always used to know how to make me feel better. She was what I needed right now. I slowly stood wiping the tears from my eyes.
"Where are you going?" Trent called after me as I ran out of the restaurant. "And where is Maguri?"
"Out, and who gives a fuck about him anymore!" I growled. Fuck her! Fuck her and her shallow heart, fuck her for making me love her, fuck her, fuck her…Fuck her!
When I got back to the house I dialed a number I never thought I would ever again.
"Hello?" a angelic voice answered.
"Hey babe, remember me?" I asked.
"T-Takuto?" she asked.
"Yeah, how've you been?" I asked changing my clothes as I spoke.
"G-good…I…why are you calling?"
"I really miss you and I want to see you," I answered. It wasn't completely a lie…was it?
"I miss you too…but Takuto, I'm married now."
"Is he there?" I asked knowing she didn't have boundaries when it came to one night stands.
"N-no…here's my address…" I didn't care if it was childish for me to go for Hikari after Mitsuki left me. Fuck I didn't care about Mitsuki at all, I was going to forget her…I was going to forget how everyone I loved always seemed to leave me…Hikari, Keiichi after he got engaged, my mom…my dad…and Mitsuki. Fuck I was going to forget about love. Meaningless flings could get me through the rest of my life.
A/N: Again, I'm sorry, but I already started the next chapter so it should be out within the next week.
