Rolling Natsuki on her back I didn't want to break the kiss how could I? Sparks came from my mouth as we molded both pairs of lips together. I didn't want to give up the air I had, but I knew time was running out on the kiss we shared. Breaking apart my breath rested on top of hers. Taking a finger I played in her locks slightly, in some kind of attachment to keep Natsuki from freaking out. Either that or it was a nervous habit, seeing as I didn't want Natsuki to run. Personally I was sick of it all running and hiding I was the adult in this partnership I needed to act like it. Staring back at her I smiled slightly as her gaze bore into mine. Licking my lips, I pressed a light kiss on her head.
I was ashamed that I had to leave the contact of her skin so soon, but we needed to talk. It seemed best to let everything out in the open. I just hoped that Natsuki could only understand the fear that I had when it came to her understanding my feelings. But, then again my family was famous for our lack of emotional attachment; whatever I was showing now had to come from my mothers gene-pool. As she let out a sigh she smiled as she was the first to speak taking me off guard quickly. "T-That was wow!" Smiling it was good to know that she felt the same way when it came to our physical connection. "I know right? I can't believe I'm doing this right now, god...I'm so fucking scared." Laughing I knew it was a defense mechanism to hide the fact that I was deathly afraid. As Natsuki took my head she ushered me to rest it on her chest, careful to not put my weight on her fully I listened her heart beat as we stayed that way for a minute.
"You know it's alright to be scared of things really it is. Trust me I know Shizuru, I was...and I still am scared really scared."
"Is that why you and that..."
"Yeah...It is why I wanted to go out to that event with Takeda. I just hate sitting here and you not notice me, I know that you don't think Shizuka is a mistake. I just don't want you to think of me as the same. I want to be there for you and actually give this co-parent thing a try between us I mean." As she blushed I couldn't help myself when it came to the joy I was feeling when it came to what she was asking. Doing the first thing I could do I nodded. "R-Really..."
"Yeah really..." As she smiled she kissed me once more earning shock from me, smiling I nuzzled her cheeks getting off of her I needed a shower and bad. That and my new fuel was restored as I wanted to get this move on as soon as possible. "Wait where are you going I thought we were having a moment here," asked Natsuki sitting up on her elbows.
"Ara we are my dear teenage dream, but there are some important things we have to do around this place. Like for one we need to pick out a bed for Shizuka and your going to help me do that."
"Really can't I just sleep in like I normally do? I mean half of my stuff is back at home and all that Shizuka has is with me. I mean all of the stuff from my apartment well I got rid of it, well furniture and stuff." Taking out a long-sleeved olive green thermal and black long cargo pants, my mood turned solemn. "You know I'm sorry for all of that, with you losing your place and all."
"No it's not like that Shizuru, besides if all of this never happened we wouldn't be here today right?" Blushing at the comment of "we" It had me think of something seeing as something within my chest budded and blossomed. Playing it off by shooting a smile her way, I wondered to what exactly did she mean. Adding up all the intel I could all I knew was Natsuki's behavior seemed to navigate like the weather depending on what I did or didn't do. I needed to escape and talk to Nao that was the only way I could try to figure out this thing I was in. I didn't want to get my hopes up of me being Natsuki's girlfriend if she meant something else totally opposite. I was so use to being the odd person out that this seemed like a dream.
"Y-Yea...we wouldn't I-I'm going to head to the shower now."
"Ok do you need me to wash your back?"
"N-No I'm fine I got it." Running down the small hall I closed the door pressing my back against it. Taking out my phone I texted Nao alerting her to tell Mai about my situation. I knew Nao meant well, but for matters of girls hearts Mai was the best candidate when it came to understanding. I felt bad seeing as I just saw Nao a few hours ago, but really she wasn't needed it was Mai I was after. I just hoped she would wasn't to disgusted with me when she found out.
Trap and Release
"Liking the men's thermal makes your muscles pop Shizuru." Blushing I took my seat as Mai handed me a latte taking a sip it was exactly how I liked it. Biting my lip a bit after I took my mouth off the cup. I only had so much time with Mai before duty called at home. I was on a time limit making me give permission for Nao to tell Mai my secret I knew if Mai came prepped it would cut some of the nerve racking tension out. Really my only worry was getting a bad text back from either Mai or Nao. As I drove over here only to look at my phone as it received a positive text from Mai stating that she took a whole day off for this moment; the support was really uplifting. "So Nao told me everything that she could, and as much as I want to slap your face off for not telling me first. I'm not seeing as I can't resist a good love story."
"Ara you might slap my face off right now after I tell you the rest."
Trap and Release
"You idiot your in love with the mother of your child and now you don't know your relationship status with her!" Hiding my head under my arms and keeping low no one was around, but I didn't need my story coming out to walkers that passed by. "Shhh keep it down will you?" As she held her hands in the air she spoke, "Fine I'll tone it down, but I want to know it all." Lifting my head, I sighed. Really this was what I needed a nice talk with someone my age; although, Mai's whimsical nature took over her age-like wisdom from time to time. As she smiled and leaned back sipping her coffee, she gave a cocky smirk picking the back of her mouth with the tip of her tongue before speaking. "I'm so happy I took the day off for this,"commented with a laugh.
"Really Mai not you too, I mean I had Nao tell you because I could use some adult advise and your a good friend."
"Yes I am a great friend, and I totally understand really I do. I mean although Natsuki and my Nao are two years apart they still are teens."
"Yeah I know, things are so different now. I mean so many labels they have and I know that Natsuki is in secondary school still it doesn't stop the tradition that these new teenagers have."
"Well meet her tradition with yours. I mean old school can never go wrong and besides, from what I know and what I'm assuming you have more stumbling blocks ahead of you." Sipping my second latte I burnt my lip a bit taking a napkin and cleaning my bottom lip my voice stumbled a bit as I looked as her inquiringly. "What's that suppose to mean," I asked putting my napkin down.
"How does P-A-R-E-N-T-S sound? I got off lucky to certain extent with Nao's grandmother accepting us. Her mother when we found her, that was a different story. At the time Nao was pregnant and her grandmother just had died it was a tough transition for her. So with my girlfriend at the time being a wise woman that she still is, she had tracked down her mother. By that time Nao's mother had done a three-sixty with her life. Turns out that Nao's mother married some rich pervert snob and all the sudden she had something to say about us." As Mai took out a cigarette it wasn't normal for her to smoke, but this was heavy stuff when it came to Nao. Suddenly I found myself understanding my coworker just a bit more.
As Mai smashed her cigarette she pulled her chair closer to me making me face her serious stare."Look, I don't want to be the negative cloud hangs over all of this. However, from what Nao told me and what you're telling me about Natsuki's parent's it seems like they aren't going to take you lightly. I mean dating a younger woman has it's advantages and I say go for it, but make sure you know the risks. I mean Nao's mother wanted to press charges on kidnapping and get me for some sexual predator shit."
"So those days that you were all..."
"Yep it was me fighting that shit off, lucky for the law in Fuuka and in most countries the age of consent is seventeen."
"I see..."
"Just some armor of information for the upcoming battle. So what about your dad and Akane?" Inwardly slapping my head the past two months came as a blur to me I forgot my dad. I knew my father wasn't emotionally in-tune with anything that had something to do with my relationships and my condition. I wondered how he was going to take being a grandparent. Then there was Akane, her ignorance was something that god even didn't look forward to. Whatever the case I was in deep shit, and I prayed that my Shizuka's face would weather the tide coming in.
AN: Well I'll be back in a few days with another chapter now I need to skim over my other story in my Legend of Korra Fandom.
