So this will be a decently fast update, since I did one only 2 days ago. Hope you guys liked it. Again rereading it I realize that some words I used I wish I had changed, but oh well.
Anyway, so I have been having Major conflict over this chapter. I had two ways I wanted to do this, both of them contrasting SO much. I literally just spent the past 10 minutes sitting with my arms crossed and my eyes closed, fighting myself on which way I would do this chapter. Maybe at the end I'll throw it in my author's notes how the other way would have been.
Hmm
Anyway, I love all the support I've gotten so far. It means a lot to know how much you all enjoy my work. :D
For now, enjoy
Kirito's POV
Breathing heavily, I twitched my frozen body, slowly rising to an elbow. Slowly, I calmed my heartbeat as well as my labored gasping. Looking towards my window, I realized that it was only a dream, my fears not being realized. The moon had passed by leaving my room many shades darker than before I passed out. Eventually, I fell back, laying down from mental and emotional exhaustion.
Bringing my hand upwards towards my face, I felt a dampness on the sheets. I ran my hand over it lightly. I know I cried, but this much? I thought I only cried on Sugu… Man have I changed…
Reaching my hand forward I brushed more damp cloth, though more bulging. I sighed internally. Even on my… second pillow? Brushing my hand over it more, I was thoroughly confused. Gently, I worked towards figuring out what exactly I wept on and probably stained this time. It's… like a pillow in firmness, but less flawed. At one point I brushed my palm against something stiff and protruding, baffling me even more. What in the?
Reaching upwards with my other hand, I grabbed my phone, turning it on, using the light to finally answer my question. Laying before me, was Sugu, her face red, eyes cast down towards my hand on… her breast. In her eyes I saw extreme embarrassment and a trace of something… insane. Contentment? I felt her shiver under my fingers. From the cold…or...?
Pondering much too long, I instantly realized I hadn't stopped myself, and snapped my hand backwards. "I…I… I…" Am an idiot? Am sorry? Didn't know? Should go? Would understand if you punched me? "I…"
In one fluid motion, Sugu cut off my thoughts wrapping one hand around the back of my head, the other my waist, and her ankle around the bend of my knee. Pulling all at once, she held me close. I could feel every bit of her body touching mine, not an inch of space. Keeping me cheek to cheek, she whispering in my ear, "Bad nightmare?"
I blinked in surprise. There was no way she didn't know what I just did. Is she simply just… letting it go? It was impossible to speak, so I simply let out a pathetic, "mhm." The memory of the dream washed over me again, sending my body in to a spiral of emotional wrenching. All… alone.
"I'm sorry…" She's sorry? I just groped my sister and she's apologizing? "I'm here for you… always."
Allowing myself to relax in her embrace a bit, I cleared my throat. "Well… you always came to me with your nightmares. Remember?" I tried to play it off with a small chuckle, to ease the tension. Fail. An image of a crying Sugu holding a small blanket wiping her eyes as she asked to sleep with me popped into my head. Always letting her, I would hold her close, not as close as this though, and coo her back to sleep. Now she's holding me… so close. Plus we're older. Shouldn't this be… wrong?
"Oh… those." She rolled those words out slowly. "Kazuto… I… I never had nightmares. At least not nearly that many." She didn't? "I just…" Her voice cracked and I felt tears fall from her face onto my cheek. "I wanted to be close to you again. I just wanted my brother back." Her tears began to flow more steadily as I again felt her tremble, now taking in the feeling with my whole body. "I love you… Onii-chan."
Smiling lightly at her words, I closed my eyes. "I love you too, Sugu." I would do anything for my sister. She's too important to me now.
Sugu's POV
Crying into his shoulder now, I replayed Kazuto's words again in my head. "I love you too, Sugu." He would never know… He would never understand what I meant by saying I loved him… Never…
Slowly, out of sheer lack of strength, I quieted my sobbing, and slowly fell asleep, wrapped in my brother's embrace.
*Poke Poke* Something jabbed at my face, unpleasantly waking me from my restless sleep. What dared? Just go awayyyy. I swatted my hand at the thing. I just want more sleep.
"up Sugu," I heard faintly. Then a pinch of my cheeks stretching out my face. Now it was really starting to get annoying.
Reluctantly, I sat up, ready to face whatever had the audacity to disturb my… well I couldn't call it peace. Wiping my eyes, I saw Kazuto sitting on my bed. My bed? Wait… this isn't my room. "Ohayō" [Am I the only one that loves that word? Yes? Okay]
"Ohayō Onii-chan." My words came out lazily, still half asleep, rolling off my molasses covered tongue. This is…Onii-chan's room. I'm in Onii-chan's bed. Hm. My semi-consciousness still not fully realizing anything.
"Ohayō" Kazuto smiled warmly at me, trying to wake me up gently. His intentions made me warm and fuzzy inside. I'm in Onii-chan's bed. We…slept together last night. He… grabbed… My brain finally clicked, jumping in to second-gear.
Turning crimson, I looked down at myself. I'm practically Spilling out of my shirt! Why didn't I button up after the my shower?! "I… I… Um…" I proceeded to cover myself and jump out of the bed. Rushing out the door, I felt him grab my elbow, preventing my retreat.
"Sugu wait! Please, can we talk?" Talk? Now? Like… this? My thoughts raced back in time, pulling out how I held his hand there at the hospital, forward to last night when I shoved his face into my cleavage as he wept, then back to how he felt me last night, how much I… enjoyed that. I blushed harder, if that was even possible.
"Y…Yes?" I choked on my words. What could he need? I already gave him my heart and unknowingly part of my body. He smashed the first… Can't I be left with… anything?
"I wanted to thank you… and apologize. I didn't mean to…" his voiced trailed to nowhere, his cheeks taking a turn to redden, and I saw his eyes involuntarily throw a glance towards my breasts.
Closing my eyes, I forced my breathing back to normal, My heart rate is another matter entirely. Attempting to look much more composed than I actually was, I nodded. "It's… okay. You didn't know. Plus… it's you, so, I don't… really mind." I said WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?! "Well… bye!" I took a second go at escaping to my room, slamming the door and flopping on my bed.
Unable to cry after such a long night of tear shedding, I replayed the last few conscious hours in my head. Holding Kazuto, kissing Kazuto asleep, his hands, touching my nip… *blush*… how much I… liked… it. I'm sick. Something is seriously messed up with me. That's basically incest! I continued to shout at myself, all the while knowing my one retort to shut up the rest. I don't care. I didn't care. My heart didn't care. My heart was a greedy bastard that did as it pleased. For all it gave a damn, as long as Kazuto was here, he was the one I would pine for. I didn't have a choice.
Not a fucking choice.
I wanted to continue, but first I want to see what you guys think of this chapter as well as get more of my thoughts down. Sorry that it is short but at least it is a sooner update than expected.
Review, flame, PM me, anything. Tell me what you think so far and of this chapter.
Oh yea, the other way. I was going to keep awake, but not let him know. She would pretend to sleep and see what happened.
