Chapter 11 - Fight, Stay, Comfort part 1
Natsuki's PV
My heart is beating so fast in my chest that I'm afraid that it's going to burst, and my face is getting so hot from the blush covering it that I fear it may burst into flame, but at the moment I can't will myself to move.
Even when I hear Shizuru say my name I'm still unable to move, what's wrong with me? Why can't I move or even look away from her? And why the hell am I leaning forward?
I could feel her breathe against my face we were that close now, unfortunately before our lips met I saw a flash come through the curtains and a all mighty crash as the thunder came a second or so after the flash. To my surprise I heard Shizuru squeak before I saw her head heading for my own head, the force of it colliding with me caused me to be forced back and our position was now reversed, I was seeing stars as I hear a whimper from the side of me.
Shizuru now had her head in my shoulder and her arms around my neck as she whimpered when another crash of thunder came rumbling through the room; I found my arms automatically moving around her waist as I began to comfort her.
"I didn't know you had a fear of thunder Shizuru"
The only response is a whimper as she tightens her hold on me, I sigh before I began to stand up taking me with her and picking her up bridal style before I take the short trip into her room. Another crash sounds around the room as I place her on the bed, and for the first time since the thunder starts I hear her speak.
"Stay with me tonight Natsuki? Please?"
My heart stopped before it began beating erratically for god only knows how many times tonight, the sound of her whimpering again and her hold tightening on my neck further cause me to answer quicker than I expected myself too.
"Sure Shizuru"
The next thing I know I've climbed into bed with her, lying on my back while she has her arms around my waist and I have my own around her shoulder while one hand messes with her honey blonde hair. Every time she became scarred, I'd stroke her back and say comforting words and eventually she drifted off into a quiet slumber and for some reason I was unable to move as I watch her sleeping face. There were no masks covering her face and she looked so child-like as she remained attached to my side, not too long after she had fallen asleep though I felt myself begin to drift off and for the first in a while I could feel myself smiling slightly.
Chie's PV
I woke to the feeling of warm breathe against my neck and I try to remember what had happened at Mai's Karaoke party last night, I smile as the night replays all the events of last night and then it gets to the part where Aoi and I took our relationship to a whole new level. The body lying next to me shifts slightly and I look down to see Aoi's angelic face, a peaceful look gracing it while the corners of her mouth hint towards a sweet smile. My heart began to swell with warmth as she tightened her hold on me slightly and I know that I'm the reason for that smile being on her face, before I could stop myself I had leaned forward slightly kissing her on the forehead as I smiled to myself.
She shifts again and I see her eyes flutter as she begins to wake up, I feel myself being dragged in as my gaze travels over her luscious lips and before I realize what I'm doing I've captured those lips with my own. I hear her moan as I pull away, I look into her face and see her eyes slowly open as she speaks to me.
"I could most definitely get used to that" she's smiling sweetly at me and I can feel my face heat up in a deep blush. "Awww, you're so cute when you blush" I hear her giggle at me but before I'm able to respond her lips have found mine again and we begin to fight for dominance in the situation. As she was now lying on top of me fully she had a rather big advantage over me, but then again I was enjoying her being in control more, it was a new side to her that I had seen before.
All to soon she pulled away from me and moved off the bed before heading towards the bathroom, I felt like I'd just been left hanging and the smile she chucked over her shoulder at me shows that she know it as well. Only thing she doesn't realise is that I'm not someone you leave hanging, so without any further thought I get out of the bed and head towards the slightly open bathroom door.
I stand frozen as my mind registers the sight in front of me.
Nao's PV
My eyes flickered open as I hear a buzzing resonating though my room, I blink as I turn over and look at the table set by the side of my bed to see my mobile vibrating on the surface.
I reached over and picked it up before it could stop ringing and quickly answered before checking the caller I.D.
"Yes?"
"Hello, Nao-san"
I practically jumped out of my skin as I heard Reito's polite voice travel through the phone, "REITO!" I shot up straight in my bed as I yelled down the phone at him.
"Ah, sorry Nao-san did I wake you?" I could hear the guilt he was feeling through the phone speaker by my ear.
"No, No, I was just surprised that's all" I lie in a hope that he doesn't feel bad for calling me, for some reason I felt the need to reassure him.
"That is good, not the surprised bit but the not waking you up bit; well anyway I was ringing to ask whether you are free tomorrow?"
I felt intrigued as to know why he wanted to know this information, so intrigued to know the answer I felt myself answer automatically. "Yes"
"In that case would you be interested in joining me at a restaurant tomorrow? And possibly a movie if there is anything you want to see?" I couldn't believe my ears, my mind was racing and it continually asked me if Reito had just asked me out on a date, so before I could stop myself I decided that I want to satisfy that curiosity.
"As in like a date?" I could feel myself biting my bottom lip unconsciously as I wait nervously for his answer.
"Yes, I believe it could be considered a date" I could hear the smile in his voice as he answered me, and I felt butterflies in my stomach as a smile crept is way up onto my face.
"Well...in that case then....what time do you want me to be ready for?" My face began to heat up at the thought of going on a date with Reito and I felt my heart rate become erratic and it felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.
"I shall pick you up at 11:30, if that is alright with you?"
"Yeah, that's fine"
"See you later then"
"See you" With that the phone when dead and I found myself just sitting in my bed staring at the wall in front of me, my face felt hot and my heart was still hammering in my chest. I couldn't believe that only hearing his voice could have this affect on me and it only started yesterday, before I never really noticed Reito much, before yesterday at least.
Looking at my clock I decided that it was time to get up and get ready for Mai's karaoke party tonight, it seemed that if I decided not to show it just caused more problems as people would be sent to collect me anyway.
Natsuki's PV
My eyes cracked open as light seeped into the room through a small crack in the curtains; I turned my head away and snuggle closer to the body that was lying next to me as I tried to escape the suns glare.
It was only then that I realised there was actually a warm body lying next to me and I had no idea why. My heart began to beat rapidly as panic began to set in, my pulse began to ring in my ears as I pulled back slightly to see the face of who I was cuddled up to.
My heartbeat increased further as I saw chestnut locks sprawled out around a beauty's sleeping face; there was no mistaking that the sleeping beauty that was curled up against me was none other than Shizuru herself. It was comfy having her lying next to me, she was warm and soft and...It was...enjoyable to have her sleeping next to me.
It only occurred to me that I had memory of how we had ended up like this when Shizuru mumbled something under her breath before snuggling closer to me. I have never known Shizuru to be scared of something before but from what I could remember last night, she seemed to be extremely scarred of lightning and thunder. Part of me was glad to learn something new about Shizuru, but another part was sad that I had to find out through seeing her being scarred.
I guess it does show that everyone has a fear in life some more than others, there are just extremes of it, some people have phobias of spiders or balloons, others fear love or loneliness and then there are others that are just scared of fear itself. But, it's the people that overcome their fears that enjoy life more, so that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to help Shizuru get over her fear. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I will find a way for her sake.
With that last thought I decided I was going to cook breakfast for her, considering that Mai had been helping me out with my cooking skills. Admittedly I couldn't make anything fancy just yet, but I at least knew how to cook a decent breakfast.
Being as careful as possible, I slowly wriggled out of the bed and away from Shizuru's warm embrace, it was adorable how she whimpered when my warmth was taken away, I hoped that it wouldn't wake her up though as I moved the blankets over her to keep more warmth in.
Taking one last look at her, I proceeded to tip-toe out of the room as quietly as possible in hope of not waking her up, when I reached the door I stole one last look at the sleeping form in the bed before I slipped out the room and headed towards the kitchen where I began preparing breakfast.
Mai's PV
I stirred slightly as I felt a warm body press against me more firmly than it had before, I could feel the two slender arms gently cuddling me around my waist, and my natural response was to hug the young person back. It was funny like that, even with Tate I found intimate situations awkward, but with her I was never fazed with her hugging or clinging to me, it just seemed so natural and…right to hold her in my arms and for her to hold me in hers as well.
It would never have occurred to me how much I felt for the girl if we hadn't have played that truth or dare game and that kiss. It really got me to thinking about what kind of relationship there is between us, I know now that there is definitely something more than just friendship, but I need to know fully where these feelings go for me to be certain what kind of relationship there is.
Of course there was also the problem of Tate; god only knows what I was going to do about him.
I guess I could always talk to him but what about this whole Tate and Takeda thing as well, I really just don't know what to do about anything at the moment, but I do know that I enjoy Mikoto's company so I might as well focus on that for the moment.
Sigh, well I do have to get up and get ready for the party tonight, but...I looked down at the young girl cuddling closer to my body before deciding to stay hugging her for a bit longer before getting up to prepare breakfast.
It almost killed me to have to walk away from her warmth and the cute look on her face, I don't know what it was exactly about Mikoto, but she somehow managed to draw me in. Whatever it was I don't think it was going to ever stop drawing me to her anytime soon and in all honesty I didn't want it to.
The one thing that never ceased to amaze me about Mikoto was the amount of food she could eat and yet she never seemed to put any weight on, it was like Natsuki with her obsession with mayo. Neither of them put on any weight, and with Mikoto I know that the majority of the time she was just sleeping, but with Natsuki these days I never seem to know what that girls up too, she does worry me with some of her activities though. It was highly frustrating at times that the both of them could easily eat anything they want without gaining any weight, but they wouldn't really be them if it was any other way so I guess I can just put it down to them being lucky.
With a silent sigh I headed towards the bathroom where I took a quick shower before changing and heading into the kitchen.
I liked looking after Mikoto it reminded me of when I used to have to look after Takumi, who I haven't seen in a while since he's been in hospital with Akira accompanying him, for the moment though it seemed that they decided to extend their stay in order to have a sort of vacation.
The only problem was that I didn't know when they would be coming back and that worried me, even though I know that Takumi will be fine now, I just can't help feeling worried about him. It was just a force of habit when I think about it, I've been worrying about him for so long that I don't know how not to worry anymore really.
Oh well, I shall have to focus on making breakfast and preparing for the party instead, although I do hope that Takumi and Akira return for Christmas, it would be nice to have them around again after so long.
I was almost that lost in my own thoughts that I only just about heard Mikoto sneaking up behind me before hugging me around my waist, she had been doing that a lot lately. Instead of sitting at the table waiting for food she'd come hug me first and watch my cook for a while before heading to her usual seat, she'd also been complaining less and less lately, not whining as much as she usually does when she's hungry.
Although, now it seemed that she only left and sat down when she knew the food was just about cooked. It was nice to have her hugging me while I was cooking; it was strangely relaxing and didn't distract me except for the warmth that spread through me.
It did make mornings scarily quiet but it was also sad because it showed me that Mikoto was possibly growing up, even if she did still have some small moments where she was immature. And times where she whined like a little kid, which always seemed to make me smile as it was like having the Mikoto I first meet back.
I was almost finished cooking Mikoto's food when she let go of my waist and moved next to me to get the plates out of the cupboard, it was new to see Mikoto do that although I should have seen it coming really. Mikoto really was growing up, I looked over her as I watched her lean up grabbing the plates, her top rid up slightly as she stretched to reach and I could see her nicely toned stomach.
I felt my cheeks heat up as I found myself unable to look away, she had never had this effect on me before so why now? What had changed since then? Sure she had grown up, but is that the reason for these feelings or have they been there all the time? Only that I'd been ignoring them.
Whatever the reason, it doesn't change the fact that these feelings are slowly beginning to take me over, which for the life of me I cannot figure out whether or not it's a good or a bad thing. When Mikoto finally finished reaching up and her top slide back down her stomach I found myself being released from whatever hold she had over me, it was still difficult to turn away from her but at least I was finally able to turn away at least.
She left the plates on the side so I could dish up before heading towards the table where she sat and silently waited. I had just finishing dishing up when she decided to start talking.
"I'm going to go visit Natsuki and Shizuru-Chan today, I might see if they need any help with anything or something like that." She was looking at me as she was talking while I brought the food over to the table.
"Okay, just remember about the karaoke thing tonight, I might need your help later with setting some stuff up, so would you mind helping me out?"
"Sure Mai!" her usual childish grin is plastered back on her face and I feel all motherly again, as I eat while watching her fill her face as usual. I know now that she is going to grow up at some point but a part of me just wants to keep her as the childish Mikoto she is now, it makes life interesting, although saying that the new more mature Mikoto is also making life interesting just in a very different way.
Shortly after she had finished her food Mikoto went for a shower and changed swiftly, after finishing with that she came over to my desk and wrapped her arms around my neck while I worked on some of my holiday homework. Leaning back into the hug I sighed as I turned my head to look at her as she kissed my cheek before saying a quiet goodbye.
All too soon she had let go of my neck and had walked out the front door, it made my chest hurt as I watched her walk away, it was scary how she affected me so easily when others did not.
Looking quickly back at my homework I decide that it wasn't going to get done anytime soon so I might as well sort all the preparations out for the karaoke night, need to cook some food and especially extra for Mikoto even though she is being more held back now but some habits are hard to get rid of.
With that last thought I headed towards the kitchen to prepare food for the party tonight, I just hoped that Mikoto would be back soon to help me set up the room.
Chie's PV
I was staring at a goddess.
It seemed that I didn't even give Aoi a chance to get into the shower before I had burst in through the door, but the sight was definitely worth it.
She was perfect, from her long and slender legs, her perfectly shaped butt that was firm but soft at the same time; her long back was arched slightly as she looked over her shoulder at me. Her hair was over her shoulder which allowed a perfect view of her delicate shoulders and her elegant neck, there was a slight smile gracing her lips and her eyes had a mischievous glint in them.
"That didn't take you long" her voice was like music to my ears and I found it difficult to understand just what she was saying and my eyes continued to scan over her perfect body.
"What didn't take me long?" I asked in a daze as she turned slightly giving me a brand new sight for my eyes to behold.
"Well..." she had now turned fully towards me and was walking slowly towards me, my brain had all but turned to mush as I watched her slender legs work. "I did want you to come and keep me company after all, but it seems that your brain is refusing to work as your mouth has been hanging open for quite a while now."
She hooked her arms around my neck as she reached me and I looked into her eyes as I close my mouth, she was being truly evil right now, but she was the only girl that could do this to me. Make me completely speechless just by showing me her body, but who could blame me? She is completely and utterly irresistible and addictive.
"Well, if you want me to keep you company then who am I to deny you?" I was surprised that my mind could even form a coherent sentence never mind one that was slightly flirty.
"Good" was all she said before her lips claimed mine.
Her kiss was soft and sweet, but it had a hidden urgency that was causing butterflies to form in my stomach, all too soon though she was pulling away from me. Walking backwards heading towards the shower that was already turned on, the rushing of the water was doing strange things to my pulse.
All I could do was watch as she stepped under the water and it trickled down her body, travelling down the valley between her breasts, down her flat stomach and in and out of her belly button.
"Chie, are you joining me or are you just going to stand there watch?" Aoi's beautiful voice brought me out of my trance and my eyes snapped up to meet hers before I nodded my head slightly.
Stepping into the shower I found my arms automatically wrap around her waist as her own come up to wrap around my neck pulling me closer to her already wet body. Her Hands slipped into my hair playing with it slightly as she gently pulls my head down towards her own, I could feel her warm breath on my lips as my eyes began to close on their own.
Our lips finally came together and there was an explosion of sensations, as her fingers continued to play in my hair while we stood under the cold water that was massaging our already hot skin. My thumbs became to make circle and patterns on the side of her hips as her tongue began to dance with my own.
She flicks her tongue over my teeth sending electrifying sensations through my body intensifying the passionate hungry that runs through my veins, leaving me to wanting more. As her hands slowly slide down my neck, fingers gliding down over my collarbone as they head towards my chest, her nails grazing ever so slightly over my skins and I resist the urge to moan into the kiss that we are actively committed to.
I whimper in to the ever heating kiss as her palm hover over my aching breasts, breaking from the kiss my back arched and I threw my head back as a moan erupted from my throat as her hands finally made contact with my breasts making white hot passion course through my body. I gasp as her hands begin to work their magic against the soft skin of my breasts, her thumb tracing circles over my nipples as her palms cup my breasts gently.
Aoi's lips finally left mine as she kissed along my jaw line, and kisses to my ear nibbling on the lob slightly before she proceeds to kiss down my neck, she stops and pays special attention to my pulse as she kisses, licks and nibbles at it before slowly sucking at it. I know she was trying to leave a mark but the tingling sensations it was causing me to feel was making my brain lose all proper functions, making me gasp and moan at her will.
I whimper as her hands stop they're wonderful motions; my whimper was soon replaced with a gasp as her nails scraped lightly across my ribs as her hands travelled down my sides towards my hips. For the moment Aoi was in complete control, and with the way she was making me feel right now she could be in complete control more often. The feeling of her claiming me for her own was something that was making my mind go crazy, and it was an intriguing tingle that I was most definitely enjoying.
Another whimper escaped my mouth as her lips left my neck travelling down over my collarbone, which she nibbled on before continuing her journey, causing me to gasp and moan at her will. She trailed kisses down past my collar bone down to above the valley between my breasts before she kisses her way to my right nipple, running her tongue around it before biting it lightly. She would have had me begging if she wasn't already reading my mind.
Her right hand glided along my left side and cupped my breast that was being neglected, playing with it gently while her mouth worked on the other one. She had me gasping and moaning at her will, it was impossible for me to have rational thought at the moment. She was sending me on the ride of my life as the enjoyment was almost too much to bear, but I was loving every second of it.
A shiver ran down my spine as her left hand began to travels round from my hip to my butt cheek before she gives it a light squeeze causing me to moan throatily, she chuckles before her hand begins to travel down my thigh slightly coming round to the front before gliding her hand slowly up my inner thigh. I couldn't but whimper and plead with her as her hand continue to slowly creep up my leg only to stop inches away from where I really wanted it, I moaned 'please' to her begging her to continue.
She chuckled against the soft skin of my breasts again before she asks in a husky voice filled with lust 'please what?' her tongue began running circles around my nipple making it extremely difficult to form a coherent sentence.
"Take...me..." I finally manage to get out, even though it was barely audible, either way her hand moved closer and barely touches as I moan into the tingling feeling it sends throughout my body.
"Don't tease me" is all I manage to whimper before she presses fully against me causing me to gasp in shock.
I moan deeply as she finally takes me as her mouth comes back up to attack my neck, I grab onto her shoulders as she began moving her fingers inside of me, heightening my bodies sense to an even greater heights.
My mind lost all thought as Aoi began to move her fingers at a faster pace, while a searing heat began to raise inside me at the same pace Aoi increased the speed of her fingers, her mouth on my neck was all but forgotten as I focused on holding on to the of my climax never wanted to release. However much I wanted to stay in heaven it always had to end and mine ended too soon in my opinion as I held onto Aoi for dear life as my knee began to buckle and my body shuck with the force of my orgasm.
Once my breathing had turned back to normal Aoi decided to talk to me "I see you enjoyed that" she smirked as she said it, obviously she enjoyed being in control.
"Yes but now its payback" I said quickly as I backed her up against the wall with the shower still beating down on us and kissed her with a new found fire and passion.
Okay, you enjoy?
R&R please =D
