Meanwhile on the dance floor:
"You're a great dancer, Akashi-kun." Amami warmly smiled at the man. Due to her high heels they were around the same height, making her realize their faces were really close to one another. A slight blush started to emerge on her cheeks, a mixture of the exertion from the dance and the close proximity.
Akashi's eyes widened for a tiny moment when he noticed the blush, feeling his heart skip a beat. Not wanting to give it any more thought he quickly recovered his composure and smiled once more. "Thank you.. you look really beautiful tonight." He instantly bit his tongue when he realized what he just blurted out.
"Thanks, you're looking pretty sharp yourself." Amami giggled at how this conversation suddenly had turned around on them.
"R-Right.. what I wanted to discuss with you.." Akashi tried his best to steer the conversation away from anything awkward, since it resulted himself into a bumbling mess. And Akashi is all sorts of things, but not a bumbling mess, thank you very much. "I've been thinking, it's still two and a half years for us to spend in University, so things might still change. But considering we should slowly start thinking about our future plans and having had a chat with your father... We thought it would perhaps be interesting for both parties if you would come work for my father, when you graduate."
Even though she didn't stop dancing, mostly because Akashi had been a terrific leader, her brain did. She couldn't quite comprehend what the man in front of her was trying to say. "What.. exactly do you mean..? Well it's clear that you guys want me to work for.. your father. Do you mean independently? Or literally as an employee of the Akashi Corporation? Wait.. does that mean that I'd end up working for you as well? What exactly do you expect me to do there?" Her mind seemed to fill up with more questions at a fast pace. "Why would my father want this exactly? To strengthen the relationship between our father's companies?"
"My father's company could use someone like you. Your insights and know-how's have proven to be very successful. Your expertise and intelligence.. well, any company would want to have someone like you on board, Amami-kun. That's why I think I should try to be the first to scoop you away from future potential competition. Your father deemed it to be an excellent idea as well when I discussed it with him." Akashi diplomatically explained her, trying to convince her.
"Riiiight.. It's still a bit too early to be thinking of such things, no? I mean, I'm not even sure in what direction I would want to go to begin with. And don't get me wrong, I'm truly flattered with how you praise me, but like you said, things can still drastically change in the upcoming years. I'll definitely take the offer into consideration for when the time comes, if by then the offer still stands, I'll let you know. But right now.. I don't know Akashi-kun, I'm not really sure if I would want to join a big corporation like that while doing something I might not like to begin with." Amami started to ramble, not really sure on how to explain how she truly felt about this. First of all, she didn't think this was the place nor time to discuss such heavy matters and second, it was way too soon for her to be thinking of those things. In her eyes, she is at her brother's wedding, trying to enjoy her dance with her friend, which had become harder for her to do, giving the heavy subject of their conversation.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bombard you with that question, it just seemed like a nice idea for the two of us.. Never mind, let's enjoy the evening." Akashi tried to give her a sincere smile, his mind was becoming more clouded by the second the more he thought of it.
Amami noticed something was off with her friend as they continued their dance, not wanting to let the mood ruin their dance she decided to respond the only way she felt she could at the moment.
Slightly breaking free from the formal position they were dancing in, she started to move differently, almost childish, making Akashi stare at her in surprise. She simply replied him with a cocky smirk that said 'what are you going to do about it' before continuing her silly movements, dragging Akashi along. Akashi wasn't sure if he should try to keep up, regain control or give up at this moment, but her growing grin as she was once more enjoying herself made the answer for him. Slightly embarrassed, since this is certainly not how an Akashi danced, he continued his attempts to keep up with her quirky style until the song was over. Both laughing eventually when they noticed the horrified looks some people were displaying. She simply bowed and motioned for Akashi to do the same, earning them some chuckles from people around them.
"Thank you for the dance." She bowed mockingly while still giggling at the thought.
"The pleasure was all.. mine..I think." He smiled brightly, giving his looks a handsome boyish feature.
Amami had never seen him smile so earnestly which made him look truly charming, she felt she had succeeded and even gotten more than what she aimed for by alleviating the sour mood from before.
"Let's head back to our table." She almost dragged Akashi across the dance floor, not noticing her mother giving her a horrified expression that was surely blaming Takao for his bad influence over the past decade.
Little did Amami know what was waiting for her at their table. When they reached the table, both still chuckling and slightly out of breath from previous exertions, she aimed to take her seat. Before she could touch the cushion of the chair she was already being lifted up once more. A firm grip held her wrist and before she realized what was going on, she was already being dragged away from the table by her boyfriend.
"T-Taiga.. the dance floor is there.. if you want to.. Taiga are you.. listening?" She huffed as she tried to keep up, weaving through the mass of guests. When they finally stopped she noticed they were standing in a quiet hallway, away from the rest. Trying to catch her breath and thankful that her boyfriend finally gave her a moment to rest.
When she was mostly recovered she looked up at her boyfriend, a confused but amused smile looking up at him. "Taiga, what's going on?"
Kagami heatedly stared at her, not uttering a single word. He realized he didn't really think things through when he decided to drag her away from Akashi like a caveman. Now that they were well away from the evil boogieman, he wasn't sure what to say. The only thing he felt was his heart clenching painfully as he thought of her and Akashi. But what was he going to say 'You can't look at other men.'? That's ridiculous and he knew she, for one, wouldn't have any of that bullshit. Especially since said man had become their friend over the past few years, willing or not.
Amami grew worried as she noticed the pained expression Kagami was giving her, albeit unknowingly. She reached out to cup his cheek, trying to make her boyfriend focus once more. "Taiga, talk to me please.."
Her small voice, pleading her boyfriend, made something inside Kagami snap and before he realized it, he was firmly pressing her against the wall behind her. Her body trapped between his and the wall.
When she tried her best not to lose balance by grabbing his shoulders, she looked up in his eyes. She sensed sadness, hurt and something else she couldn't identify in those bright red orbs she came to adore. She opened her mouth in another attempt to gain Kagami's focus, but it immediately got covered by his warm lips.
The kiss wasn't gentle like they used to kiss, it was harsh, unrelenting..wild. The act itself sent shivers all over her body, his attitude reminded her of when he played basketball, it wasn't sweet nor gentle. It felt electrifying and her entire body was now buzzing and thrumming to his actions. She started to kiss him back with the same fervor. Her hand had drifted lower over his broad chest which was now tightly clenching the fabric of his dark red button-up.
The sloppy but passionate kiss came to a brief halt when they needed air. Both panting, their breaths mingling as their lips still ghosted over the others'. Dark red eyes heatedly staring into bright shining emerald ones.
"T-Taiga..?" She breathlessly whispered, her fingernails raking over his chest so hard he thought the fabric was going to rip.
"Hng.." Was what he eloquently responded before he took her hand, dragging her away. His head whipping around as if searching for something. It wasn't until his eyes fell on a flight of stairs with a sign saying 'Roof access' on it that he had found what he was looking for. "Come.." Was all he could blurt out in his state as he started to drag his girlfriend, a little more careful this time, by her hand.
He made sure that no one saw them when they started to climb the stairs and decided to pick Amami up and throw her over his shoulder when her heels were making too much noise on the steps.
Amami's mind was still reeling from the passionate but short make out session that she barely registered being carried in such a daring fashion until they reached the top. An abrupt and chilling wind greeted the couple when Kagami shoved the door towards the roof open. The sudden cold, after being holed up in a very comfortable warmth of the party for so long, caused a barrage of goosebumps on her skin to break free. She let out a high-pitched yelp of surprise as she now realized they were on the roof. "Taiga~ why on earth are we out on the roof..?"
Kagami didn't respond but finally decided to put his girlfriend once more on the ground. Bending over slowly so she could carefully push herself off of his body. He immediately took both her hands, making sure to keep her balanced on those high heeled shoes, especially after a dizzying trip upside down on the stairs.
He looked down at his girlfriend, her eyes wide with surprise and confusion. 'Why are we here..? Isn't that clear?' He briefly wondered when flashes of Amami dancing with Akashi darted through his mind. It vexed him, he trusted Amami, he knew that she would never look at any other man the way she would look at him. So why was it, that it hurt so much, seeing them dance together? If he was honest with himself, he knew the reason deep down inside, he just didn't want to admit those feelings. Especially not when it involved Akashi. Before his train of thoughts continued he noticed her shiver as she wrapped her arms around her frame, glancing around uncomfortably, but patiently waiting for her boyfriend.
He closed the gap between them in an instant. He wanted to encase her small figure inside his arms, fight off the cold for her, but when he did his initial urges immediately surfaced once more. The warmth of her body emanated against him that it seeped through his clothes. Her beautiful bright green eyes looking up at him in such a loving manner that his breath hitched. Without much warning, or elegance for that matter, he slanted his lips once more on hers. His strong hand immediately slid through ginger strands of hair at the base of her skull. Firmly holding the back of her head as he tilted his for a better angle to deepen their kiss.
It was when he felt Amami reciprocating the kiss with the same amount of passion and lust, that he not so gently started to push her towards the wall next to the door they emerged from before. He pushed her against the concrete wall with enough force that she let out a gasp of surprise, which barely broke their heated kiss. His hands cupped her cheeks gently as a form of an apology before they drifted lower towards her neck. The tips of his fingers slightly brushing over the pulse-point, causing another burst of goosebumps to emerge on her skin. The other hand meanwhile slipped over her shoulder, with more force than the other was doing. Holding her firmly in place, his fingers kneading the muscle from her shoulder towards her upper arm.
One moment she shivered due to the late night crisp air hitting her skin, the other she felt an almost suffocating heat wrapping around her when Kagami had pushed her up against the wall. His tall figure engulfing her much smaller one while his hands roamed over her body. They felt like molten iron dripping over her skin, the warmth oozing deeply into her flesh, warming her entire body. She pressed both her hands on his chest, wanting to dig the tips of her fingers into the firm muscles that resided there. One hand snaked towards his neck and eventually rested at his nape, letting her fingers play with the fiery locks before needily clenching them and pulling him closer to her. The other hand remained on his chest, fingers splayed over his heart, feeling the thundering rhythm it was making in his rib cage.
They both let themselves get lost into their passionate make out session. Hands frantically roaming the others' body, pressing, squeezing, kneading the muscles underneath while their kisses only got interrupted by sharp intakes of air and pants. The longer they kissed, the more labored their breathing became and soft sighs turned into needy moans.
Seeing Amami was very much in the same needy state that he was, spurred Kagami further on. Only he could make her feel this way, it was only him that was the receiver of those longing gazes with full-blown lust. He let out a groan just thinking how she was his, always had been, always will. He took a hold of her one arm and briskly turned her around, pressing her back into his chest. Oh, how he loved the feeling of her tiny frame pressed against the bulky frame of his. She fit perfectly, their bodies easily merging with one another as he breathed in her scent when he pressed kisses in her neck. The way she always tilted her neck to give him the room he needed, told him that she loved it as much as he did.
Amami draped one arm behind her, resting it on his shoulder, to steady herself while pressing her body against his. Her lips parted and let out soft pants when she was enjoying the attention he was giving to her neck. "Tai.. Taiga~.." She murmured before biting her bottom lip, her hips instinctively jerked out against his groin when she couldn't keep up with the pleasure she was receiving.
He let out a breathy moan when he felt her ass suddenly rubbing against his groin, sending a jolt of pleasure through his spine. He let out an inaudible curse under his breath when his body tensed up resulting him in nipping his teeth over her pulse in her neck. Teeth scraping over skin, alternated by gentle bites and licks to appease the irritated skin. His left hand cupped her breast, kneading it, while his other hand started to hike up the silk green dress. When his hand managed to find its way underneath her dress, he wasted no time and immediately cupped the warm place between her thighs. His half erect length now fully awakening when he felt just how wet she already was. Pressing his now very hard and needy erection up against her butt, slowly rubbing against the supple yet firm flesh. When he slid his hand in her underwear to slip his fingers into her folds, he fully realized how soaked she already was, making him groan aloud, his teeth pressing against the skin of her neck. Being so enraptured by his own pleasure he didn't notice the effect he had on her until now. He noticed she was now shaking on her legs, pressing her hands against the concrete wall as a last resort to keep her steady. Her eyes screwed shut while her mouth was slightly open, panting with need.
"God... Seo.. I want you so badly.." He breathily whispered in her ear, making her visibly shiver at the action. He nibbled the shell of her ear as he stroked her clit between her folds, it didn't take long for his fingers to be dripping from her wetness. He let out a shudder at the feel and rubbed his erection once more against her plump rear, relishing the pleasure it gave him.
"Taiga.. please, f-fuck me.. already." Was what Amami could only muster at this point. She needed him as badly as he needed her. His breath tickling the sensitive skin of her neck, his voice sending sinful pleasure in her ear. The way he was massaging her breast while the other was giving her pleasure that was quickly building into the very core of her. She was more than ready and willing to feel him fill her up entirely.
A combination of having his girlfriend plead him and use such bold words to express her very own need made something snap inside of him. In a blur he was opening the buckle of his belt, unzipping and unbuttoning his pants before unceremoniously letting his pants and boxer drop to his ankles. Not even fazed by the sudden cold air hitting his erection that already had pre-cum dripping at the tip. Ruffling her dress upwards, pushing the fabric into her own hand, motioning for her to hold it up. When she did he was being granted a view he could always appreciate of her in dark red laced underwear. He quickly hooked his thumbs under the waist band and dragged the garment down to her ankles. He lifted her left leg up, hooking it over his arm to keep her steady while his other hand guided his length towards her entrance. "Are you ready?" He lined himself up with her entrance, his tip already pushing against her flesh when she answered a breathy 'yes'. When she did he strongly slammed in, fully sheathing himself. This caused both to cry out with sudden pleasure. For a few seconds he remained still, afraid he would burst right then and there from the initial pleasure flooding his body. It also gave Amami a small moment to adjust to his girth inside of her.
Those few seconds felt like an eternity when all she wanted was for him to move. She pushed back against him needily, letting out a small and impatient whine, urging him to start moving already. When he finally did she braced herself against the wall as much as she could while standing on one leg. Kagami was still holding up her left leg to help her, but it sure was tricky to keep her balance on heels. Jutting out her hips, slightly bending over against the wall (for as much as she could), she gave him easier access. Hissing in pleasure as he started a steady and strong pace thrusting inside of her.
This was not how they usually had sex. Sure they changed it up frequently to keep it fresh and interesting every time. But they always had been gentle with each other, taken their time with foreplay. Making sure both were ready before even beginning the main dish, it's what they enjoyed the most. The intimate and loving feeling always shared between them when they made sweet love to each other. This, however, was new to them. They moved so fast and honestly, it felt just as amazing. Even though the build up wasn't as elaborate as usual, it wasn't needed. Their lust for each other so strong that they seemed to have instantly jumped into it. This wasn't going to take long either.
Kagami, feeling the warmth and tight muscles around his length, cried out with a groan before he started to rut at a very fast pace. His right hand holding her hip so hard, that he was sure there would be bruises later. He wasn't careful when he slammed mercilessly inside his girlfriend, who was now being pushed against the wall with each thrust he made. And she loved it, she was loudly moaning out his name, her fingernails scraping into the concrete wall.
"Tai..ga.. ffuuuck.. I-I can't..nngh.." She felt her special spot being hit with every thrust he made in her, driving her towards the edge at a fast pace. The familiar coil in her lower abdomen tightening dangerously as wave after wave of pleasure pushed her further. She felt her muscles tighten over his length, enhancing the pleasure further.
"Hngg.. Seo.. tight.. gonna.." When he felt her muscles almost painfully tight on his length made his rhythm unpredictable. His thrusts now more pointed towards that one special spot of hers and with much more force than before, sent Amami over the edge. She screamed out his name as she rode out her orgasm, muscles twitching deliciously around him. In the heat of the moment he pressed his teeth against her nape and sunk his teeth into her skin. The sharpness of his teeth threatening to break the skin. With the last few, but powerful, thrusts, he finally came as well making him groan against her nape.
They stood there for a few moments, slowly descending from their orgasm induced high. Their breathing slowly calming down when Kagami gently lowered Amami's leg while pressing his body against hers, making sure she wouldn't fall. Peppering the violated skin of her neck with gentle kisses while hugging her firmly.
Amami let go of the fabric, letting the dress fall back into place. Her body firmly sandwiched between the concrete wall and her boyfriend. She let an out of breath chuckle. "That.. was interesting.."
"Mmmhm.." Was all Kagami could voice at the time being before he tucked himself into his pants once more. Darting lower, he slid her underwear back up to its rightful place, not wanting his girlfriend to exert herself further.
"Amazing though.." She placed her arms over her boyfriends arms which were now hugging her from behind. Slowly regaining her strength into her legs.
"Oh yeah,.. definitely." Kagami smirked and pecked the bite mark on her nape which slowly started to make its presence in a nasty shade of dark purple.
Amami hissed in discomfort when she suddenly felt pain erupt when he kissed her there. She quickly placed her hand on it, not immediately realizing the origin.
"S-Sorry about that.. I think you're going to have to cover that up.." His voice didn't carry the sincere regret it should have when she felt his lips smirk against the growing bruise.
Amami lets out a harsh chuckle with disbelief when she turned her head slightly so she could look up at her boyfriend, noticing his smug face. "That was a sad attempt at apologizing, Kagami-san" Knowing he didn't like it when she called him that, earning herself a small scowl from him. "How bad is it..?" She ignored the scowl, clearly unimpressed with it.
"Erh.. pretty bad, we won't be able to lie our way through this, especially with our long absence, if you don't find a way to cover it up." He scratched his cheek thoughtfully.
"I love how fast 'we' becomes 'you' at the covering up part." Amami huffs out indignantly, not surprised at how Kagami leaves it all up to her to fix their current dilemma.
"Hey, you're the problem solver of the two of us, it's what you do best." Kagami gives Amami his best attempt to bring out a charming grin, armed with a compliment.
Amami throws her arms up in defeat at the lack of cooperation from her boyfriend. Which made her realize she could easily use her hair to cover it up when her hand brushed her bun. Grabbing the hairpin with her fingers she quickly made work to remove it, letting her long ginger hair fall down over her shoulders and back. Tossing both her hands into her locks, ruffling it slightly. "I'll need the restroom to freshen up anyway, I'll fix my hair while I'm at it, we'll be fine. No.. I'll be fine... you..." She gave him a glare which was interrupted by a firm but loving kiss from her boyfriend.
"Let's go back inside.." He murmured, feeling much more relieved and satisfied than when they left the party before.
After their visit to the restroom to freshen themselves up they made their way back towards the party. Earning themselves several stares from their friends, having wondered what the two had been up to.
"We went out to get some fresh air." Amami simply smiled, answering their unspoken question.
Takao's smile grew into an all-knowing smirk after putting two and two together, but didn't say a word. He merely continued staring at Amami which successfully made her feel uncomfortable.
Amami let her fingers brush through her now loose strands of hair, making sure the bruise was well covered from prying, in this case eyes with hawk-eye vision. Returning Takao's smirk with a threatening glare. The 'I dare you' kind of glare, challenging the raven-haired man to rat them out.
"Ah, there is my sister, I finally found you! It's like you were hiding from us, you know you can't escape the bouquet toss that easily. Kagami-kun, I'm going to have to borrow her for a moment." Ushio, clearly tipsy from the wine, took his sister by the hand and immediately dragged her off towards a group of over-excited women. He didn't give Amami a chance to bicker as he unceremoniously shoved her into the group, signaling people that they were finally ready.
It took only a few minutes before the room got reasonably quiet, giving the group of women, who were now herded together like cattle in front of the bride, their attention. The group consisted of women of all sorts of ages, a few kids who were clearly way past their bedtime. Some older and clearly drunk women and then a large group of women who seemed to be the friends of the bride. Screaming in excitement at the mini event, telling their friend she had to toss the flowers towards them. Amami tried her best not to roll her eyes and simply smiled when the bride turned around, her back now facing the group.
Amami noticed a small girl standing in front of her, even though she seemed tired, the excitement seemed to have been contagious making the child slightly jump from one leg to the other, preparing herself. She giggled at the girls' eagerness before she addressed her. "Hey, do you want those flowers?" She gently asked the girl to which the kid shyly nodded her head. "Alright, I'll do my best for you, okay?" Amami winked towards the girl which caused her to let out a little shriek of excitement.
"Are the beautiful ladies ready?" The bride yelled while looking back over her shoulder, laughing. The women started yelling, indicating that they were born ready for this. "Here it cooooomes~!" And with that the bride puts her back behind the swing, successfully tossing the bouquet over her shoulder towards the women who were now pushing up against each other in order to retrieve the flowers.
It's when Amami noticed that the flowers were heading towards her, that she looked down at the girl in front of her. "Here we go!" She quickly picked the girl up under her arms and raised her into the air, hoping the girl could reach the flowers in time.
The flowers landed straight into the child's hands, who was now letting out a a childish 'yaaay' while waving the bouquet in the air triumphantly.
"You did it! You caught the flowers." Amami gently placed the giggling girl back on the ground, ignoring the foul stares she was definitely gaining from the women around her. "You'd better find a sweet boy so you can marry him now, huh?" She ruffled the girls' hair, starting to turn around to walk back towards her table.
"Wait! Uuuuhm.. here, you can have this one, miss!" The girl tore one of the flowers from the bouquet and held it out for Amami.
"Aaw, thank you, I'll take good care of it." She crouched in front of the girl, accepting the flower before placing it behind her ear which caused the girls' eyes to twinkle.
"Uwaah, you're so pretty now!" The girl beamed up as she saw the flower stuck in Amami's locks behind her ear. "Me too!" She shoved her chubby hand into the bouquet, quickly tearing another flower out of it and nudging it towards Amami's hands.
Amami earnestly laughed at the weird compliment she just received before placing the flower behind the girls' ear as well. "Now we're both pretty." She winked and said her goodbye, leaving a very proud girl in her wake.
"I'm not sure that's how the tradition works, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of those women are going to retaliate towards you now." Takao smiled at Amami when she plopped down on her chair.
"Ah well.. she really wanted those flowers.." Amami simply shrugged, suddenly feeling very tired.
Asides sending Amami some foul glares, the women decided to accept their fate for the rest of the evening. The later in the evening it became, the more guests started to leave. Amami and the gang being among those, not being the 'party hardy' kind of people to begin with. They had said their goodbyes towards the family, thanked them for the invitation and wished the newlyweds once more their best wishes before making their leave.
