The Point of No Return
Part II
After he finally finished the song, Guren smiled again as he drew his eyes closed and pulled Yuichiro closer until his lips were just a hair-width's breadth away from hers. The sudden, unexpected action made the younger girl gasp as she placed her hands on his chest and gently pushed him away.
"W..what do you think you're doing, Guren! This isn't like you!"
Instead of being offended, Guren regarded her curiously as if Yuichiro had just asked him the silliest thing.
"You're wrong, Yuu. This is exactly like me; I just hid it because I didn't want anyone else to know how I really felt about you."
"But, I thought you only saw me as a child!" she protested. "When did that change?"
Guren sighed before rolling his eyes towards the ceiling as if in deep thought. "Well, I'm not sure, exactly. Maybe when I discovered that the spirited little boy I found outside of Sanguinem was really a girl? Or when she started dressing like one?"
After answering Yuichiro's question, Guren tried to kiss her again but the younger girl still hesitated, making him frown slightly.
"Why do you shy away from me, Yuu?" Guren whispered sensuously as he gently stroked Yuichiro's cheek with his finger, making goosebumps rise on her skin. "You were quite bold when you tried to seduce Shinya…" *1*
"W..what? I don't know what you mean!" Yuichiro protested, mortified that her guardian could know such a thing.
Judging from their interaction at their airport, it was clearly the first time Shinya and Guren saw each other after they were forced to part at Crowley's temporary hideout. There was no way Shinya could have had the chance to tell Guren what happened between him and Yuichrio while she was possessed by Asuramaru.
Yuichiro bumbled as she tried to think of a way to deny her guardian's claim which they both knew were right on the mark, making him laugh in amusement. Although displeased that his best friend had dared to touch, let alone kiss, Yuichiro, Guren still took advantage of that knowledge to bait her. As for Shinya himself, Guren decided that he would deal with the other man later.
"Don't you? My senses are sharp, and I can smell him on you; he didn't have to say a word. So, if you can kiss Shinya, why not me as well? After all, I am more… experienced than he is," Guren teased.
Oddly enough, the older man's confession actually made Yuichiro a little jealous even though she knew it was to be expected considering that Guren was nearly a decade older than her. It also dawned on Yuu that the special friend he once told her about who passed away long ago was an old lover of his.
A lover whose name he never disclosed.
Instead of waiting for Yuichiro to answer, Guren slowly pulled her towards himself again and pressed his lips to hers. Even as someone who had at least a little experience kissing another, Yuichiro still hesitated slightly, even though she didn't try to push him away this time.
That was, until Guren slid his hands down her back to cup her soft rear, the one he secretly enjoyed spanking when she misbehaved, and gave it a firm squeeze, causing her to gasp in surprise. When Yuichiro finally opened her mouth, Guren slid his tongue past her lips and teeth to sweep the hot cavern of her mouth.
"Mmmph…!" Yuichiro moaned and finally stopped struggling as she became dizzy with pleasure. In her innocence, Yuichiro thought all men tasted like Shinya, the first man with whom she shared a passionate kiss, even if it was under Asuramaru's influence to get him to drop his guard.
But this time was different because Yuichiro wasn't possessed and from the look in Guren's eyes, he wasn't either; he wanted this, there was no denying that.
But why? Yuichiro wondered. The way he always treats me like a child, like a little girl, I never would have guess that this was how he truly felt…
If she could, Yuichiro would have asked what possessed Guren to do what he was doing to her now, if not his demon. However, the question never got the chance to pass her lips before she became distracted by something else, something hard rubbing against her thigh making her eyes widen; even as a virgin maid, Yuichiro still knew what that was.
Breaking the kiss, the ravenette shifted her legs slightly to get away from that awkward feeling. Her action did not go unnoticed by Guren and he gave Yuichiro a suggestive smirk as he started to bounce her playfully on his knee.
"What's the matter, Yuu?" he teased. "Don't you like what you see? Aren't my feelings for you clear enough? Or are you just pretending to ignore that part of me poking into your thigh like that?"
"W..what do you mean?" Yuichiro squeaked as she was forced to place her hands on Guren's shoulders and hold onto him to keep from losing her balance and falling over.
Laughing softly, he answered, "I mean, would you like to see more? You seemed to appreciate my… assets…that day I saved you from drowning, remember?"
Yuichiro gulped as she realized that Guren had indeed noticed that she took more than a few moments to admire his body when she saw him shirtless at the waterfall grounds. Oh, how Yuichiro had hoped that her guardian had forgotten that awkward incident, but, as it turned out, she had no such luck.
"I…" Yuichiro began before closing her mouth again. It was not often that she found herself at a total loss for words but this time, Yuichiro truly did not know how to answer Guren's assertion. If she said "No," then they'd both know she was lying.
Without waiting for her to answer, the older man continued as he stilled his knee and allowed his ward a breath of relief, even if only temporary.
"I suppose I should take that as a 'yes'?" he pressed in a sing-song tone.
As he asked this, Guren looked directly into Yuichiro's eyes, giving her the same intense and seductive stare she gave Shinya before making advances on him. Though Guren tried not to show it, deep down, he secretly worried that his ward might end up rejecting him if he came onto her too strongly and quickly and decided to back off a little.
To Guren's relief, his strategy worked when Yuichiro looked down shyly but nodded her head.
"Well then, be my guest, Yuu…" Guren said in a husky tone, one she didn't think he was capable of making.
Without speaking, Yuichiro pulled the rest of Guren's unbuttoned shirt from his shoulders and down his arms, where he assisted her by pulling his hands out of the sleeves after releasing her for a brief moment.
However, Guren's nimble hands didn't stay off the object of his desire for very long before he took Yuu's hands in his own again, this time, guiding them down to his pants that were still buttoned and zipped. Though she had absolutely zero experience in this area, it wasn't hard for Yuichiro to figure out when Guren wanted her to do. She did appreciate that the older man was at least willing to let her move at her own pace which made things a little easier.
Trying not to let Guren see how embarrassed she was, Yuichiro swiftly undid the buttons and pulled down the zipper while avoiding his eyes.
And no sooner was she done with that, Yuichiro felt Guren close a hand around her right wrist and gave it a gentle tug: right inside his pants and past his undergarments.
Yuichiro gasped when she found her hand closing around something quite long and hard, no doubt the most intimate part of Guren's body. With his hand gripping hers, he coaxed and guided Yuichiro into pumping his bare, hard member until she finally caught on enough to continue alone.
But Guren wanted Yuichiro to work a bit harder so he pretended to be unimpressed and unsatisfied even though the expression on her face told him she wasn't buying it; he was clearly struggling to keep himself from groaning with pleasure.
Although she would never admit it, Yuichiro rather enjoyed having Guren at her mercy in this manner; the older, normally stoic-faced man's eyes were glazed. His eyes widened, and his lower lip puckered out whenever she slowed her ministrations. For someone who always tried to act so tough, Guren was awfully cute when he looked so vulnerable like this. If she remembered correctly, the other girls of her dorm referred to this sexual act as a "hand job."
As obsessed as Yuichiro was with her training then, she couldn't deny that such talk among her classmates had piqued her interest, even if she pretended otherwise. Yuichiro just had no idea that such a simple act on her part could make a man feel so good. Especially Guren of all people, considering that she had seen him shun advances from men and women alike, leading her to think that he had no sexual desires whatsoever. *2*
"Mmm… that feels nice, Yuu. You're such a good girl… But now it's my turn…"
Before the younger girl could ask what he meant, Guren brought his hands to her shoulders and tugged on her white cotton nightgown before pulling them down, exposing her entire upper body which was just as bare as his own, until Yuichiro was clad only in her frilly white panties.
As Guren undressed her, Yuichiro suddenly found herself wondering how she woke up perfectly clean and clad in that nightgown in the first place. If Sayuri or Shigure were not the ones who cleaned and changed her out of her JIDA uniform while she was unconscious, that that must mean…
"D…did you..?" Yuichiro began but the question died on her lips when Guren pulled the rest of her nightgown down her hips before hooking his arms under her legs and started to carry her bridal style back to the bed she woke up on when she finally came to.
"Hmm? Did I what, Yuu?" Guren purred as he nuzzled Yuichiro in the neck before laying her down in bed clad only in her panties and hovered over her; their new position giving the younger girl a complete and unobstructed view of his strong and splendid body not hidden by his dark uniform.
At least, above the waist for now.
Yuichiro wanted to ask Guren if he was the one who changed her out of her uniform and into the nightgown she was wearing until it ended up being left on the couch behind them.
But try as she might, the question would not leave her lips. Not when she was distracted by…other things.
Thinking that it must be her demon pranking her again like he did when he conjured up that 19th century themed illusion as they fought for dominance in her subconscious, Yuichiro silently called out to Asuramaru within her mind.
"Asuramaru, this had better not be one of your stupid jokes because it's NOT funny!"
"Why, whatever do you mean, Yuu?"
"Don't play dumb! I told you not to make any more illusions or dreams of Guren to mess with me!" *3*
"And I've kept my promise, Miss Hyakuya…"
"What? You mean this is not a dream? It's real? It can't be!"
Not believing her demon's denial of her accusation, Yuichiro attempted to pinch herself awake when she felt Guren's hands close tightly above her wrists and pulled them high above her head before he kissed her again, sliding his tongue inside her mouth and moving it in a provocative imitation of love-making.
If Asuramaru was lying and this was indeed a dream, it would be his most daring illusion yet.
Even so, Yuichiro could find no evidence that what Guren was doing to her now was a dream or figment of her imagination, especially when she felt him release one of her wrists before pulling off her panties, parting her legs slightly with his free hand, and sliding a warm finger inside her.
Yuichiro yelped before she found herself moaning with pleasure when Guren took his finger out and started rubbing that sensitive nub between her legs with the pads of his other fingers until she felt herself getting wet down there, exciting her. As he expected, Yuichiro was unspoiled; Guren had made sure of that when he scared off the boys at her school who tried to get too close to Yuichiro without his permission; she was his and his alone. *4*
Breathing heavily, the younger girl felt her pleasure intensifying; it wouldn't be long before she went over the edge, but, when Yuichiro was almost there, Guren withdrew his hand all of a sudden, making her whimper pitifully in disappointment as she looked at him lustfully with longing.
"You're so cute when you do that, Yuu…" he teased.
"Why…you…pompous…ass!" Yuichiro gasped, repeating the words she said to him when they dueled in front of the entire MDC for his comment on taking her lightly.
Only this time, she wasn't frustrated with Guren for underestimating her fighting skills but for denying her pleasure.
"But, Yuu, just moments ago, you didn't even want me kissing you and now you want this? What made you change your mind?" he teased with a smug grin.
Yuichiro glared at her mentor, trying to hide her embarrassment behind a mask of anger, but, as usual, Guren saw right through her. By now, he knew his young ward well enough to know when she was expressing one emotion while feeling a contradictory one, especially now that she was mumbling something under her breath that sounded suspiciously like "baka."
"Hmm, what was that?"
Yuichiro gritted her teeth as she finally forced the words on her mind out of her mouth.
"Baka Guren!"
"Hmm, maybe. But you want some more of this 'baka,' don't you, Yuichiro?"
Not wanting to give Guren the satisfaction of seeing her beg, Yuichiro pouted her lips at him. Although she refused to admit it, the younger girl definitely wanted more; her soft, plump rosy lips begged to be kissed again and, instead of answering his question, Yuichiro looped her arms around Guren's neck to pull him down for just that.
This time, however, she showed none of the hesitance she did before when he kissed her for the first time. Young and inexperienced Yuichiro may be, but once she was aroused, her sexual appetite was voracious, and being the wielder of a demon weapon only intensified her desires.
After his need for air became too great to ignore, Guren finally broke the kiss and snapped his head back to catch his breath before he felt Yuichiro try to make a grab for him again but, being the smooth bastard he was, Guren easily evaded her hands before hooking his arms under her legs to spread them wider.
"Hey, what are you doing…?" the younger girl demanded before yelping when she felt him dot kisses along her inner thigh before she also felt something hot and wet licking her most feminine area.
Clutching Guren's hair, Yuichiro moaned loudly, as she felt nerves she didn't even know she had being stimulated until she thought she was going to go over the edge again.
But when Yuichiro was almost there, her so-called bed mate ceased his pleasuring of her.
Again.
"Urgh! I'm gonna kill you for this, Guren!" she shrieked in frustration.
If Yuichiro wasn't being pinned down by her mentor's heavy frame, she would have kicked him for his little pranks. There was no doubt in her mind that Guren was enjoying this, even more than when he was baiting her during their sparing sessions.
The older man gave her another one of his teasing smirks. "You disappoint me, Yuichiro. Did you really expect me to give you little treats like that for free?" he asked in a mischievous tone.
"Hey, no fair! You started it!" Yuichiro pouted in a childish manner as if she were still the twelve-year old girl Guren took under his wing instead of the teenager on the threshold of womanhood that she was now.
"Hmm, true. I guess I was being nice and generously giving you free samples," the older man teased as if he had been giving her candies instead of erotic pleasures.
"Hmph! Don't expect me to beg, you bastard!" Yuichiro snapped as she stuck her tongue at him since her position didn't allow her to cross her arms and look away.
"Yes, I know how much you hate begging since you're such a proud girl," Guren said as he touched his nose to hers. "But if you want more, you'll have to earn it."
Yuichiro raised a brow. "Oh?" she asked curiously.
"Yep," the older man confirmed as he took Yuichiro by the shoulders and forced her into a kneeling position on the bed.
"W..what are you doing?" Yuichiro demanded, confused.
Taking her gently by the chin with one hand, Guren looked straight into Yuichiro's eyes and said, "If you can please me, I'll return the favor tenfold…"
Blushing, the younger girl found herself looking down again. Even if she was a virgin maid, Yuichiro still had a pretty good idea of what her bed mate wanted.
"That's not fair, Guren; you know I'm not…experienced. You saw to that when you scared all those boys at school away from me."
"Of course, I know. I told you, I don't share what's mine. And you belong to me, body and soul."
Although Guren staked his claim on Yuichiro in a teasing and playful manner, his eyes told her that he was dead serious about what he said: she was his. Not Mika's nor Shinya's nor anyone else's.
And were Shinya not his best friend, Guren probably wouldn't have hesitated to lop off his head or run him through with his sword for touching and kissing Yuichiro, even if she was the one who initiated it. So Guren decided that letting his so-called best friend rot in his jail cell for a while longer before he freed him would do.
Trying not to think about what her mentor might do to his best friend for that, Yuichiro said, "I'm not sure what to do, Guren."
Leaning forward slightly, the older man whispered playfully into her ear, "Well, there are other things I can teach you besides fighting, Yuu…"
Taking the hint, the younger girl nodded, relieved that Guren wasn't going to make her beg for what she wanted. Yuichiro may have had little experience with pleasing men, but she wasn't totally clueless. With her sharp hearing, Yuichiro used to overhear her female classmates talk about what they did or would like to do with their boyfriends in bed, even though she didn't believe them most of the time. The ravenette always assumed that the other girls read too many trashy romance novels or watched too many movies they weren't old enough to see.
Shinoa even gave Yuichiro a Japanese-translated copy of that classic erotic French novel, The Lover, by Marguerite Duras, as a gift to get her to think about something other than training and studying to exterminate vampires. *5*
Out of courtesy, the ravenette had thanked her friend for the novel, but had said she wasn't interested in that kind of thing. In reality, though, Yuichiro had secretly spent what little free time she could spare to read it in the privacy of her dorm room before bed out of curiosity.
Before she discovered that Mikaela was alive, Yuichiro couldn't deny that less-than-innocent thoughts of her mentor went through her mind as she devoured the chapters one by one, especially the love scenes, and had pictured Guren and herself in the role of the main couple.
However, she had always dismissed such thoughts as wishful thinking, believing that Guren would never see her in such a light.
Until now.
"Would you like me to, Yuu?" Guren asked, snapping the younger girl out of her thoughts.
"Y..yes, I would," she answered after a moment's hesitation.
"Good…" the older man whispered before taking Yuichiro's hands and guiding them to the waistband of his pants. "For starters, you can help me out of these…"
Guren said nothing more, he didn't need to; Yuichiro knew exactly what to do and helped him out of his pants and undergarments. Using her imagination, the younger girl did what she thought would make her bed mate feel good; she pressed a kiss to the hollow of his throat before placing her hands on his chest and gently pushed him over until he was lying on his back with her on top of him this time.
Although she felt shy about asking, Guren could tell what was on Yuichiro's mind when she looked down at him curiously, her palms still flat on his chest. For some reason, Yuichiro liked seeing Guren like this; she had to secretly admit that having someone like him at her mercy was a turn-on for her.
"Go on… I'm all yours…" the older man teased, knowing Yuichiro was not as innocent as she pretended to be if she could do what she did to Shinya.
Delighted that Guren was giving her free reign to do what she wanted, Yuichiro decided to use her imagination to figure out what would please him enough to give her what she had secretly wanted for years. As handsome as Mikaela was, he didn't send Yuichiro's heart reeling time and again like Guren did with his suave confidence and sword-fighting skills to back it up as well as his enticing looks and that oh-so charming voice.
Straddling her bed mate again, the younger girl leaned over and kissed him full on the mouth again, slipping her tongue into his mouth and imitating what he did with her earlier, when they shared their first kiss.
Unlike before, Yuichiro started out slowly, savoring Guren's flavor before breaking the kiss when a mischievous idea crossed her mind. Acting on instinct, the younger girl moved down slowly, dotting little kisses down his chest and abs before she took her bed mate's hard arousal in her hand and licked it from base to tip, making him gasp even though he did ask for it.
But Yuichiro wasn't through with Guren yet. She made that clear when she placed a hot, wet kiss right on the tip of his member, swirling her tongue around the sensitive head before taking him completely into her mouth, making her bed mate moan as he buried his fingers in her long raven tresses.
With his pleasure intensifying, Guren tightened his grip on Yuichiro's hair until her scalp ached, but the ravenette thought it was a small price to pay if she can turn the tables and make the sly bastard beg her to give him more pleasure.
Now, let's see how you like it, baka Guren! Yuichiro thought smugly as she pulled away when Guren was about to climax.
Though it was her first time giving any man what she heard other girls call a "blowjob" or "head," the ravenette could still tell when her bedmate was getting close when he started moaning louder and breathing more heavily. Another reason Yuichiro ceased her teasing was because she didn't want Guren to lose control and accidently tear her hair from her scalp if he forgot himself like he did back at the airport battle.
"You're so naughty, Yuu…" the older man growled in a husky voice as he reached out to grab Yuichiro like she tried to grab him earlier.
"Haha… well I had to learn it from somewhere. Or rather someone…" Yuichiro giggled as she tried to evade her bed mate's attempts to grab her.
"Well, I'm allowed to. You're not, brat," Guren said with a grin before he managed to grab the younger girl with his long reach.
Sitting up again, Guren pulled Yuichiro over his lap, bending her over until she was lying on her stomach, just as easily as he did the day she tried to evade her punishment for swatting him in the rear with the flat of her sword during their training session at the waterfall grounds.
"Oh no, don't you dare, baka!" Yuichiro yelled, knowing what was going to come next.
"Or what?" Guren challenged with a snicker before he brought his flat palm down on Yuichiro's soft, naked rear and making her yelp. His brazen act reminded Yuu of the day he spanked her for pranking him because he also ended up having to save her from drowning after she fell off the waterfall ledge and into the lake below. *6*
Only, this time, Yuichiro's bottom was completely bare like a newborn baby's, allowing Guren to see her lush, womanly curves and flawless skin.
Oh, how the little girl has grown… he thought as he continued to spank Yuichiro until her lovely skin turned pink.
Not wanting to prolong her embarrassing "punishment" any further, Yuichiro whimpered something under her breath as she buried her face in the sheets.
"Hmm? What was that, Yuu?" Guren asked in a teasing manner as he slowly ceased his swatting of her sensitive bottom.
"Stop, Guren…" she answered in a muffled voice. Yuichiro knew that her plan to make her bed mate beg her for more pleasure had backfired, and it looked like she was the one who was going to be doing the begging after all.
"I would but you forgot to say 'please.'"
Yuichiro groaned. He's really gonna make me go through with this, isn't he? she thought.
The older man seemed to read her thoughts when she hesitated to answer and snickered.
"Oh, as sure as your pretty little ass belongs to me, Yuu!"
Knowing that Guren can keep going until her bottom ached so much she wouldn't be able to sit down for a week, Yuichiro finally gave in and acknowledge defeat.
"Please, stop, Guren…"
Pleased with his victory, the older man couldn't help rubbing it in a bit. "Will you promise to be a good girl if I do?"
"Yes…"
"Yes, what?"
"I promise…"
After she had given the answer he wanted to hear, Guren finally pulled Yuichiro from his lap and flipped her over on the bed until she was lying on her back. Playtime was over and now he was finally going to give her what they both want.
Although his instinctive desire to dominate his young lover urged him to thrust into her right this moment, Guren knew he had to remain gentle if he didn't want to hurt her. His experience with Mahiru taught him that the act could be uncomfortable or even painful for the woman on her first time, and any carelessness on his part could cause Yuichiro extreme pain.
Spreading her legs wider to make room for himself, Guren became serious again when he saw Yuichiro looked up at him with an expression that bordered between excitement, curiosity, and a little fear.
"Hold onto me," he instructed her, his voice tight with deeply restrained lust.
"Yes, Guren…" Yuichiro said as she obeyed and looped her arms under his, holding him close. The younger girl gasped when she felt him finally enter her, shutting her eyes as the pressure of the sudden invasion of her body slowly built up inside her. Like Guren, Yuichiro knew her first time would hurt, but, if she only had to bear the pain one time, it would be worth it.
Not wanting to hurt his bed mate but knowing it was inevitable, Guren tried his best to make this as easy on Yuichiro as possible. He knew that if she could tolerate pain from being injured on the battlefield, she would be able to bear what he had to do next, if only for a moment.
"Relax, Yuu. It will hurt less if you do."
Before the younger girl could ask what he meant, Guren suddenly drew back before plunging into her in one swift, hard thrust, making her scream with pain before releasing her hold on him.
To Yuichiro, her bed mate's unexpected action made her feel like she was being split in two. In addition to the pain, the girl also felt something wetting the inside of her thighs, no doubt the blood that resulted from having her barrier broken. As incredible as it may seem, Yuichiro was actually sorry that the satin sheets she was lying upon would have to be thrown away after this considering how she hated waste.
While waiting for her pain to subside, Guren looked down at Yuichiro, who was panting heavily, had beads of sweat on her forehead, and tears at the corner of her eyes, with concern in his own.
"Are you alright? How do you feel, Yuu?" he asked gently.
After she had finally caught her breath, the younger girl managed a small smile before answering.
"I'm fine now, Guren…" Yuichiro said as she held out her arms to reach for him again.
Smiling, the older man leaned over and touched his forehead to hers. "Good. It's done, now. You'll likely not have to worry about it again."
"Yes…" she whispered. Though Yuichiro did not relish the experience of having her barrier broken, the girl was glad to finally have her last obstacle to promises of unbridled pleasure removed.
Knowing that the older man was just as hungry and lustful as she was, Yuichiro looked him in the eyes, her own burning with lust.
"I want it…give it to me, Guren."
"Oh? You presume to give me orders, Yuu? How daring!" the older man teased with a smirk.
Yuichiro responded by giving Guren a smirk of her own. "Don't expect me to beg, Guren. Not when I know you want it, too," she shot back in a husky voice.
"You're right, Yuu. I do," he admitted before dipping down to give his bed mate a kiss and entered her again.
This time, however, the girl felt no pain, just as her bed mate promised, only the delights that she had secretly desired and dreamed of for so long. Yuichiro finally let herself go and cried out with pleasure as Guren pushed himself deeper into her. Not surprisingly, Yuichiro's tunnel was hot and tight since he was the first one inside. And as long as Guren could help it, he would also be the only one as well.
Digging her nails into his back, Yuichiro arched her own and moaned louder as she felt her bed mate, her lover, plunging into her hard with no restraint. Although she could not speak while in her pleasure-filled haze, her body did the talking and begged, demanded, that Guren finally finish what he started.
Not like the older man needed to be told what his lover wanted in the first place.
Now that he knew Yuichiro could only feel pleasure, Guren quickened his pace and slammed into her harder as he felt his own climax coming. It didn't take long for the younger girl to join him in mutual ecstasy; she cried out in her own release when he finally came.
While she waited for Guren to come down from his high, Yuichiro slowly ran her fingertips up his bare back, making him shiver slightly from the feathery touches. When he finally managed to catch his breath, Guren buried his face in the crook of Yuichiro's neck before asking, "Are you satisfied now, Yuu?"
"Very…" the younger girl replied happily as she lifted one of her legs slightly to brush his rear with a bare foot. "What about yourself?"
Not wanting to pass up another chance to tease her, Guren grinned playfully at Yuichiro.
"I'm…content. You were pretty good considering what little experience you have in pleasing a man," he teased.
Knowing that her lover was trying to bait her again, Yuichiro pouted at him. "Well, excuse me, baka! It's not like you would have ever let me get this kind of experience anywhere else!"
"I'm just kidding, Yuu. Of course, I wouldn't. How many times do I have to say it? You're mine and no one else's, understand?"
"Yes, love…"
Guren's expression softened. "So it's true? You love me, Yuichiro?"
"I do… doesn't mean I'll never get mad at you or your antics again."
"Likewise, Yuu," the older man said as he slowly eased himself from Yuichiro to lie at her side. The younger girl didn't resist when Guren pulled her into his arms.
"Don't think you're off the hook yet, Guren; you've still got a lot of explaining to do," the ravenette chided, even as she smiled at him good-naturedly.
Guren rolled his eyes and sighed. "I know, Yuu. But can it at least wait until tomorrow? You were so demanding, and I believe I've exhausted myself satisfying you."
For once, the younger girl did not argue or challenge his words. "Alright…" Yuichiro answered as she huddled closer to her lover.
Though she wouldn't admit it, Yuichiro was exhausted herself. The ravenette was about to say the words she knew Guren wanted and deserved to hear when she heard a soft snore and realize that he had fallen asleep, and she had to admit that her lover did look rather cute. So, she didn't have the heart to wake him.
Yuichiro smiled before closing her eyes and letting herself follow Guren into the world of dreams. She knew she didn't need to say anything now; her lover was already quite aware of her true feelings.
"I love you" can wait until morning.
Footnotes:
1. The scene between Shinya and fem!Yuu mentioned by Guren has not happened in my main fem!Yuu AU story yet. I predict it will take place in a few chapters.
2. Guren is implied to be popular among women and girls in the canon series; even Shinya and Goshi joke about liking him in that manner. In the LNs, Shinya (ironically) flirts with Guren most of all.
3. Refer to "Broken Bridges, Mended Hearts II", chapter 6.
4. In canon, Guren teases male!Yuu for being a "cherry boy" but in my AU series, he is protective of fem!Yuu's chastity. Since he desires her for himself, Guren always makes sure to scare other boys away from her.
5. The Lover (French: L'Amant) is an autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, published in 1984 by Les Éditions de Minuit. Set against the backdrop of French colonial Vietnam, The Lover reveals the intimacies and intricacies of a clandestine romance between a pubescent girl from a financially strapped French family and an older, wealthy Chinese man. I chose The Lover as a reference because I feel it parallels the Guren/fem!Yuu relationship since fem!Yuu is a young girl from a lower-income family who falls in love with Guren (in this alternate timeline) who is an older man from a wealthy family.
6. Refer to "Who She is Within," chapter 17.
