Feeling Good
Yui sighed as she wiped the sweat from her brow. The tiles of the locker room were glowing with the light of the moon, streaming from the windows perched high on the walls. Footsteps approached her, and as she expected, Kaku plopped down on the bench in front of her, still dressed in her practice uniform, "I must say, I was a little surprised when you asked me to go out for an evening run."
Kaku looked up, "Yeah?"
"Yes. It's unlike you to run more than necessary."
Kaku rubbed the back of her head and fanned her shirt, "Yeah, I guess."
Yui took a drink from her water bottle before commenting, "Ara, are you going to stay in those smelly old clothes all night?"
Kaku brushed her sweaty hair back with a hand before replying, "I'll take a shower back at the dorm." She looked around, "The locker room is kind of creepy at night don't you think?"
Yui glanced at the blue tiled room and noisy lights, "I suppose so. By the way, have you had water yet?"
Kaku scoffed and waved her hand at the equally sweaty girl, "I'm fine."
Yui frowned and shoved her own water bottle in front of the blonde's face, "Drink."
Kaku laughed and pushed the hand away, "I'm fine, really. Jeez, what are you, my mother?"
"Kaku, drink." The water bottle was offered again. The blonde hair blue eyed girl looked up at the girl with amber eyes and sighed in defeat.
"Fine." She took the water bottle and took a generous sip before wiping the excess water from her chin and handing the bottle back to Yui, who capped it and put it back in her bag.
"You look distracted." Yui commented as she was rummaging through her locker.
Kaku stared at the locker across from her and sighed, "Do I?"
"When you were running tonight, you were so quiet. Usually your mouth is running on and on about who you've succeeded in corrupting." They laughed.
Kaku smiled and put her hands behind her head as she leaned backwards, "Hmm, is that so?"
Yui turned to her and smiled, "Yes, it is. Now, I suggest you tell me, or suffer." She winked.
Kaku grunted as it felt like a tiny gremlin was playing racquet ball in her stomach. The girl made an 'O' shape with her mouth and laughed before shaking her head and mumbling, "Diarrhea…"
Yui turned her head to the side, "What?"
Kaku sighed before sighing and standing, "Diarrhea."
Yui raised her eyebrows, "Diarrhea?"
"Yep. That's why I've been acting weird. It's because I have diarrhea."
"…well have you been holding it in all this time? Kaku, that's unhealthy."
The girl rubbed the back of her head and looked off, "Yeah, it is isn't it…"
"You should go right now. Do you want some water? You know, to help it out?" Yui made a vague hand movement.
"Right now?"
Yui nodded, "Yes. You should go as soon as possible. I mean…congratulations on holding your diarrhea for as long as you did…but it's really not good for you."
Kaku stared at the other girl fondly, "Yeah, yeah, I know."
Yui handed the other girl her water bottle again with a smile, "Here."
Kaku took the proffered bottle and held it in her hands before taking a deep breath and a downing whatever was left. She wiped her mouth again and put the bottle down before commenting, "Just so you know, this is all Natsuki's fault, and I'm not entitled to teasing after I do it."
Yui giggled, "Did she put laxatives in your drink?"
Kaku approached the other girl and wrapped an arm around her, "Something like that."
Yui's smile disappeared and she intently looked up into soft blue eyes. Right before Kaku's lips met her own, Kaku whispered, "You win." And Yui, despite herself, had to smile.
--
Chie's palms felt sweaty as Aoi snuggled up to her side, a small squeak of fear coming from the other girl every once in a while. The smug teenager threw another handful of popcorn in her mouth and smiled, feeling like she was the luckiest human being alive.
A piercing scream from the television evoked one from the cringing girl next to her, and Chie felt like she needed to take pity on the girl, "Hey," She gently nudged the brunette next to her.
Aoi ignored her and burrowed deeper into her sleeve.
Chie raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Aoi?"
"…what?"
"Wanna stop watching now?"
"No! No! I don't want to stop in the middle of the movie. It'll only make it scarier if I don't see the happy ending…"
Chie wanted to warn her. She really did want to say 'it doesn't have a happy ending'. But she didn't, because she knew the reaction would be priceless. Feeling a little guilty though, she boldly put her arm around the smaller girl's form before throwing another handful of heart attack inducing popcorn in her mouth.
On the screen, chaos ensued as an 'infected' person, thought to be dead, awoke and became a zombie, before attacking the others around her. Chie tried to suppress the laughter from her throat, but looked down when Aoi pressed herself closer to the her body.
Now, she really felt guilty, so instead of making the girl sit through another long hour, Chie fixed her glasses and shut the television off, leaving them in complete darkness.
Aoi blinked and sat up abruptly before glaring at the other girl, "Hey! What was that for?! I told you! I'll be even more scared if I don't see what happens in the end!"
Chie put the remote high up in the air, and out of reach of the shorter girl, "You don't wanna see the ending, trust me." Chie laughed.
"Why not?!"
"Because it isn't happy at all!"
"What?"
"The remaining people go off on a boat and try to find a safe place, but only end up in an island that's also over run with zombies, and then they cut off, so it's like cutting off in the middle of the movie anyways. I'm just trying to spare you."
Aoi huffed and crossed her arms, "Chie…"
"What? I'm sorry, I didn't know you would react this badly to a scary movie…maybe we should have watched the one you wanted to watch. It's not too late, and I'm sure Nao and Natsuki are too busy fighting to notice that you're missing, no offence."
"None taken, it's true…and fine. See, you should've just listened to me in the first place."
Chie laughed before moving to go up and change the movie, "Yeah yeah."
The girl stopped when she felt a hand tug at her sleeve, "What is it?"
Aoi looked nervous, "On second thought…" her eyes darted around the darkness, "Stay here."
"What? Why?"
"J-Just stay, okay?!"
Chie winced and did as she was told. The girl sat back down and watched the brunette next to her, "You okay?"
"Turn on the lights…"
Chie looked from her, and then to the light switch across the room, "Okay, but the switch is all the way over there." Chie pointed, and Aoi grew pale.
"Umm…I-I'll go with you."
Chie wanted to laugh at how cute Aoi was when she was scared, but instead spared her and stood up slowly, letting the girl adjust on her arm, "Okay, let's go."
The trek from the couch to the light switch seemed like years. Aoi closed her eyes and pressed her face into Chie's sleeve. Her heart was beating a hundred miles per hour, and she felt like running around in hysterics. The zombies were going to get her, after all.
She was startled when Chie gently nudged her, and she screamed and hid in the other girl's chest. She felt a soft rumble under her, and then hands gripped her shoulders. The rumble soon felt like an earthquake on her head, but the sound of laughter joined it. Aoi looked up and noticed the lights had been turned on, and Chie was laughing her heart out.
She pouted up at the girl and rose on the tips of her toes to glare, "Chie…"
The girl removed her glasses and wiped her eyes, "I-I'm sorry…but it was just you…heh…" she smiled.
Aoi blushed, but puffed her cheeks. Chie, instead of becoming flustered and worried about what she had done, continued to smile, and Aoi's anger faltered by each second. The hand on her shoulder didn't loosen, and she couldn't meet Chie's eyes.
"So, what do you think Nao and Natsuki are up to?"
Aoi snapped back into reality and laughed, "Fighting."
Chie laughed along and gave the other girl a fond smile, "Yeah, me too."
--
Nao felt her heart beating like an intense dance dance revolution song. She had no idea what she was doing. She didn't know why she leaned in to kiss Natsuki when frankly; all she wanted to do was punch the other girl's face in. She didn't know what attracted her to the taller girl in the first place. All she knew was that she was sitting there, kissing Natsuki, and she didn't feel like stopping.
Natsuki's mind went blank. Everything coherent seemed to drift away from her, and all she could see and feel was this red head in her arms. The feeling was so nostalgic, yet she couldn't quite put a finger on it. She didn't, couldn't, understand. Two likes were supposed to repel, weren't they? She could do nothing but let her feelings pull her along, and so failed to notice when Nao's back met with the mattress underneath her.
--
Yui winced as she was harshly pushed back against a locker. Kaku's knowing lips found her most sensitive spots in less than a second's time. Her vision blurred, but even though her position rendered her completely helpless, she just couldn't wipe the smirk from her face.
In return, Kaku shoved a knee between her legs mercilessly before demanding, "Wipe that damn smirk off of your face…"
Yui flinched under her harsh handler's ministrations, but was able to let out a fleeting laugh as her track uniform was being hastily thrown from her torso, "Ah, but I only to wear this smile every once in a while. Won't you let me enjoy it this one time?"
Kaku scoffed, and Yui's bra fell to the floor in an elegant flight.
--
Chie risked putting her arm around Aoi's shoulder when the movie started, and to her joy, Aoi did nothing to move away or to appear uncomfortable. The girl instead cuddled up next to her and prepared for the, hopefully, horror free movie.
Chie offered the other girl a drink and some popcorn, and Aoi received the items with thanks, her eyes then becoming glued to the movie once more. The movie opened with a scene of a young brunette preparing for her wedding day. Aoi smiled.
--
Natsuki gently parted from Nao, a faint blush tinting her cheeks. She could feel, rather than see, the red head breathing underneath her, and she unconsciously ran a hand along the other girl's chest, and over her heart. Hesitantly, she met the eyes of the person who made her feel like the world just didn't exist, whether they were fighting, or, she recently found out, kissing.
An equally flushed Nao stared back at her, the mirror like green eyes shining with what seemed to be fear. Natsuki softly held the other girl's cheek in her calloused hand, and Nao's breath hitched, afraid of what could transpire. All she did was kiss her, and now, here she was, laying helplessly underneath the last person she would ever imagine being together with.
Natsuki, understanding what was going through Nao's mind smiled and asked softly, "…do you really hate my t-shirt?"
--
Yui groaned and wrapped her arms and legs around Kaku as the girl violently kicked open the door to the coach's office. Papers flew as she wiped the stray pens and papers from Midori's, and Natsuki's temporary, desk. The table lamp rattled when Yui's weight settled on it, and the girl put an arm over her eyes as she tried to catch her breath.
Kaku made quick haste of discarding her own clothing, and was upon Yui in the next second. The tangerine haired girl stared deeply into burning blue orbs and used one arm to hold onto the unusually broad shoulders while the other wiped the sweat drenched blonde locks from the other's face. Kaku shook her head after the touch and re-attacked her slightly older partner's lips with her own. Yui shivered as she felt a hand trailing down her leg.
Ridden with impatience, she wrapped her legs around her partner and nearly cracked the other's back with the force. Kaku was forced to break the kiss and hiss at the pain while Yui sat up and launched her own attack on the other girl's neck. Her hands traveled to the waistband of the other's shorts, and she couldn't help but smirk devilishly as Kaku did nothing to halt her progression.
--
Aoi's eyes were glued on the screen, while Chie's were glued on her. The dark haired girl just couldn't pay attention to the movie. For the past two months, Aoi had been haunting every single dream, every single thought, every single fantasy. Now here they were, alone in the dark. There were so many possibilities, but she had neither the strength nor courage to fulfill them.
Chie gulped nervously as Aoi began to idly play with the fingers draped across her shoulder. She probably had no idea she was doing it. Chie decided to calm her troubled mind and turn back to the movie. For some reason, one of the characters was digging in what looked like a punch bowl for something.
The movie progressed in what seemed like slowed motion to her, with Aoi giggling from time to time. Her eyes were watching the movie, but her mind was thinking about creating her own movie…
Chie quickly spared a glance to her camera/video camera next to her, but immediately shook her head when she imagined what was running through her head coming to life. Noticing strange movement next to her, Aoi finally turned from the movie to acknowledge her friend, "Chie? You okay?"
The girl gulped nervously and shook her head while she nodded, creating for an interesting movement, "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay…sorry, there…there was something in my eye." Aoi nodded, still suspicious, but returned to the movie.
Chie sighed. Whether it was a sigh of relief, or of failure, she didn't know.
--
"…that depends…do you really hate the fact that I wear…you know…" Nao motioned over to the discarded 'puppy' underwear, and Natsuki's smile grew, glad that Nao was beginning to feel comfortable. It would make it much easier for her to feel less awkward that way.
"No...I…"Natsuki coughed before mustering up another smile, "I think it's kinda…sexy…" she coughed again before smiling even wider, her little joke reaching Nao at the same time.
Nao managed to smile back and even laugh a little, "So…"
Natsuki looked into her eyes, "So…" Nao reached up and gently ran a hand over the other girl's features. Piercing green eyes stared deeply into her own, and Nao felt the need to reach up and kiss the other girl, so she did.
Natsuki returned the kiss just as Nao had given it. She felt Nao's hands clench the material of her t-shirt, and at that moment, she knew what she wanted. She knew what they 'both' wanted.
--
Kaku, naked as the day she was born, pulled Yui's body closer to her own and flinched when she felt the contact she had sought. It was awkward, but it worked nonetheless.
Yui let her hands lay lazily behind her head as her head, tired from being held up, turned itself on the side, her hair strewn messily on the oak desk. She didn't know how Kaku did it, but she did, and when she felt that little jolt of electricity go up her body, from her toes to her head, she shivered.
She could hear the other girl's breathing, labored, deep, sensual. Just the thought of it nearly made her lose her mind. She could feel Kaku re-situate the legs on her shoulder to a more comfortable position.
Yui didn't even look at the other girl as she felt movement, slowly at first, but gradually picking up in speed. The desk made a scraping noise, and Kaku's breathing grew deeper and stronger as the clock, situated on the wall behind her, continued to tick tock away.
She could smell the sweat on her partner as Kaku lowered her head just above her shoulder, the slightly taller girl unable to hold herself up as well anymore. Kaku's breath on her neck drove her insane, but Yui did nothing to move her idle hands. She gripped the edge of the table for some sort of leverage, and took deep, but strangled breaths. They could hear the sounds of night's creatures lazing about.
--
Aoi was continually oblivious to the stares she was receiving, and Chie's frustrations were increasing ten fold. How could this girl be so damn blind? She could feel her skin tingle. Natsuki and Kaku were having something happen to them. She could feel it.
She glanced at the oblivious Aoi again and her mind wandered. If she were Natsuki, what would she do? Don't do anything. She might hate you later. She shook her head. She didn't like that answer. What would Kaku do? Go for it. Don't think about the future, think about the now. The now…what do I want now?
She shouldn't have even asked herself. She knew what she wanted, she just didn't know if she could pull it off. But as it turns out, her doubtful self was on vacation. Chie reached over to the other girl and looked into her eyes.
Aoi, confused, stared at the girl in front of her, "Chie, what,"
"I love you."
--
Natsuki broke the kiss to pull at Nao's top before letting it fall to the ground. The girl was bare before her, but Natsuki did nothing to look, instead, she kissed her again. The dark haired girl just felt such a need to kiss the other, to hold her, to protect her. Kaku's so called diarrhea was acting up again, but this time, it felt like she would blow. All of her emotions were on her sleeve, and Natsuki felt such a weight lifted from her shoulders.
Nao returned the kiss with as much passion as she could muster, her nervous state limiting her ability to do anything. She was nearly fully bare to the world, and to Natsuki, after all. What would her mother say? How nice…She shook the thought out of her mind. That wasn't helpful. If anything, she would encourage her.
Feeling that the situation was a little unfair, Nao broke their kiss to tug at Natsuki's shirt, and the other girl sat up to pull it off, the bra coming next, before facing Nao again. The other's blush increased ten-fold, and it was almost as fierce as her own. Nao reached up and cupped Natsuki's face in her hands before trailing down and reaching for the button on the dark haired girl's jeans. Natsuki pulled on the waistband of Nao's shorts, and Nao obliged by lifting her hips.
--
Aoi stared at the other girl carefully and tried to form a reply. Chie stopped her before she could, "You don't have to answer me or anything…but I just thought I should just let you know…" she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly before turning back to the movie.
Before she could fully turn though, Aoi turned her face and looked into her eyes before saying, "Really?"
Chie smiled and gently tucked a stray hair behind the other girl's ear, "Of course."
"Chie…"
"Yeah?"
"You're blocking the television."
Chie looked behind her, and she was indeed blocking the television. Blushing at the giggle she received, Chie coughed and sat back in her seat. Aoi plopped her head on the other girl's shoulder, and the movie continued on.
When Chie finally fell asleep halfway through the 'boring romance movie', as she had put it, Aoi kissed the other girl lightly on the lips and finally replied, "I love you too."
--
Kaku lay breathlessly atop of the other girl, the will to go on burning inside of her, but her stamina, still weak from her nearly two hours of running, was no more. Barely holding herself up with shaking arms, she opened her eyes when she heard an all too familiar giggle, and she remembered what she had just gotten herself into, "Shut up…"
"You know what this means, Kaku."
The other girl sighed, "Yeah, yeah, I know what it means."
"It's a shame. You didn't live up to my expectations…"
Kaku stared at the other girl incredulously, "What?!"
"I mean for how long you lasted."
"…what?!" Kaku's pride was dying with each stab.
Yui winced at her wording, "I mean, how long you lasted before you gave in."
With a frustrated growl and her wounded pride, Kaku slid off of the other girl and began to roughly tug on her clothing, mumbling something incoherent all the while. Yui sat up on the desk and giggled again.
She stood and approached Kaku, who was in the middle of slipping her shirt back on. She wrapped her arms around the girl and said playfully, "You know what I mean…" she lightly ran her finger in a circular pattern across the other girl's neck area.
Kaku sighed and turned around to hold the teasing woman, "Yeah, I know what you mean, but still…"
"Hmm…"
Kaku sighed again, "I'm gonna kill Natsuki…"
Yui giggled, "Talking about Natsuki…" she reached up on the tip of her toes and whispered, "How's your diarrhea?"
--
With the both of them completely revealed, Natsuki could only lay atop of the girl and watch. She watched as Nao took slow and steadying breaths, and she took in every single detail she could. The way Nao's chin turned up slightly with each inhale, and how her eyes closed just a little more with each exhale.
Natsuki knew what she wanted to do. She knew what to do, and how to do it, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. This was Nao. This was someone who she thought she would never get along with, nevertheless indulge in a relationship with. What would she get herself into? So many questions were running through her mind, and Natsuki couldn't keep up with all of them.
But the biggest one was so bold that it was hard not to notice it. Is this a mistake? What if she and Nao weren't meant to be together? They would be rushing into things to just share such an intimate moment together. Besides, Natsuki looked down at the nervous girl under her, Nao looked afraid.
She frowned. She didn't want Nao to be afraid when this happened. She wanted her to enjoy it, to feel something other than fear when it happened. Natsuki nodded in a firm resolution. With ease, she plopped down next to Nao, and faced the girl with a smiled before intertwining their fingers, "So, do you really hate the fact that I run long distance?"
Nao, confused, but a little relieved at the same time, turned her head to face Natsuki and answered with a blush, "No…I like the fact that you exercise…"
Natsuki smiled. For once, she would have to be the bolder one, just this once, "Talking about exercising…I like those volleyball shorts…"
Nao blinked at the flirtatious comment and laughed; all fear and tension disappearing from her features. She instead smiled suggestively, "Why Natsuki, I didn't know you were such a lecherous old man."
"There're lots of things you don't know about me, actually…"
Nao's smile turned into a much sweeter, but a little shyer, one and she turned her entire body to face Natsuki, "Then tell me what I don't know…" Natsuki smiled at the comment and thought for a moment.
"Let's see…My favorite color is blue, my favorite animal is a cat, I,"
Nao stopped her, "I already know all of those things. Tell me something I don't know, like your favorite movie, band, music, your idol, you know, things like that."
Natsuki thought for a while, "Okay…my favorite movie of all time is 'Torque', my favorite band…I don't really have one. I listen to techno a lot. My current favorite song is 'Get it by Your Hands', by Quadra, and my idol is, even though it sounds really weird, Midori."
Nao raised an eyebrow, "Midori?"
"Yep, Midori. Now, how about you?"
Nao stared at her sheets before replying, "My favorite movie…is Sleeping Beauty, my favorite band is…The Pillows…and my favorite song…" the girl blushed.
Natsuki prodded on, "Your favorite song?"
"You'll laugh."
"So? Laughing now means I won't laugh later, right?"
"…Landslide…Fleetwood Mac."
Natsuki smiled, "I like that song too."
Nao clutched onto her pillow and moved closer to the other girl, "What do you collect, what's your hobby, other than running?"
"…Gee, now you'll laugh at me…"
Nao smirked and mocked her, "If I laugh now, I won't laugh later."
"Yeah, yeah, okay. I collect…lingerie…and my hobby other than running is…I guess, fixing stuff."
"lingerie? Natsuki, you're a lot girlier than I gave you credit for." She pinched Natsuki's cheeks playfully.
"Hey, I…I haven't exactly mustered up the courage to wear any of it yet…"
Nao laughed, and Natsuki joined in. A blush grew on Nao's cheeks, and Natsuki turned her head to meet her vision. The red head cuddled closer to Natsuki and asked timidly, "…Can we fall asleep like this?"
Natsuki watched the girl in her arms before blushing herself and completely wrapping her arms around her, "Yeah…of course."
I tried to give a little something for everyone this chapter. Did I succeed?
