A familiar ache woke Kyoko from the wonderful dream filled with blue eyes and the warm arms of her beloved Ren. She shifted in the warmth wrapped around her and found that she was being held down. Her eyes popped open to see that she was still pressed into the firm chest of her sleeping senpai. Her mind spun through the sleep as she tried to figure out how she got there. A light moan issued from Ren and he tightened his hold on her when she shifted again. Kyoko blushed madly when she felt Ren's hands shift against the bare skin of her back, sometime in the night his hands had slipped up under the t-shirt she was wearing. She pushed against his chest and looked up into the handsome face of the man that had worked his way into her heart. Her blush deepened as she felt her legs pull against the soft silk of the pajama pants she had changed his body into last night. Her bare thigh was trapped high between his legs and she could feel it press into the firmness of his groin. Kyoko froze when another groan slipped from the man, his state of arousal was very evident from where it pressed into her leg and stomach. Kyoko slammed her eyes shut and leaned it forwards onto Ren's chest as she tried to deal with her dilemma.
Kyoko's angels and grudges got together to hold counsel as Kyoko's mind glitched.
"We have to get away!" The first grudge cried. "He will eat us alive when he wakes up!"
"No he will not." One of the angels bonked the first grudge on the head. "He said he loved us last night." All of the grudges shivered at the angel's words.
"But that was when he dealing with hormones and in pain. He did not know what he was saying!" Another grudge tried to reason with the angels.
"He said he had loved us since he was ten." Another angel pointed out and the grudges all convulsed.
"He will hurt us again, just like that other one." Another grudge stood up and stomped its foot.
"DON'T COMPAIRE HIM TO THAT BAKA!" All of Kyoko's angels screamed at the last grudge and she fell to the floor to hide under the table.
"Ren may be mean at times and tease us, but he is kind and has always been there for us." Another angel reasoned. "And you guys like him too." The grudges grumbled but had to agree with the angel, they really did love the delicious darkness that would radiate off him from time to time.
Kyoko's mind was pulled away from the grudge-angel counsel when she felt Ren's hand shift from her back to pet her hair. She leaned back to look into the Ren's warm eyes. Ren smiled down at her.
"Good morning beautiful." Ren whispered to her and pulled her up so he could place a light kiss on her lips. The movement pressed her closer to him and she blushed harder at the contact. "I love you." Ren restated his feelings when he pulled away from the gentle kiss. Kyoko whimpered slightly, not only had her cramps returned, she was having issues being pressed into Ren's aroused body. Concern filled Ren as he looked into Kyoko's eyes. He could see a swirl of conflicting emotions running around in her. Terrified that she was going to run from him this morning, Ren loosened his grip on her so she would be more at ease. He did not know what he would do if she left him. "Are you all right?" Ren asked softly. Kyoko could see and hear his anxiety.
"Cramps." She answered hoping that would cover the sound that she had not intended to let out. Things had been moving much too fast for her to handle properly. Understanding bloomed across Ren's face and he pulled back from her so she could get up to go to the bathroom. Kyoko pulled the shirt she was wearing down as far as it could go as she skittered from the room to take care of her physical needs. She hoped that she would be able to sort out some of her feelings while she was away from him.
Ren sat up in the bed and ruffled his hair harshly in frustration. Was it only cramps? Had he gone too far? Would her love resistant mind be able to accept his feeling in the morning light? A million little questions swirled in his head as he pulled himself from the bed. It was only when he went to stand up that Ren noticed the firmness pressing again the inside of his pants. Ren rubbed his face with his hand as he realized the rest of Kyoko's problem. She had been pressed so firmly against his front there was no way she would not have noticed the change in his body. Ren stood up and fluffed his shirt out over the front of his pants to hide the bulge. It should go away shortly; he just had to find something to occupy his mind, other than the sight of Kyoko bare legs showing under his t-shirt. Ren shook his thoughts away and got up to go make coffee.
Kyoko came back from the bathroom to find that Ren had vacated the bedroom. She was still torn about the new feeling that she was finding in her. Yes she did care for her senpai greatly, but was she ready to love someone again? Kyoko found a pair of pants in her bag and pulled them on under Ren's shirt. Did her really love her? Kyoko wrapped her arms around herself as doubts swirled around her. She had almost convinced herself that it was all a lie until she stepped into the kitchen. Ren stood at the stove cracking eggs into a pan. She smiled at him grumbling as he attempted to fish the broken bits of shell out before it cooked into place. Kyoko walked silently over to wrapped her arms around him from behind, just seeing him there fumbling with the eggs had washed away all her doubts. Ren gasped as she pressed her cheek into his back. Touching him felt so right.
"I love you too." Kyoko sighed as she let her feeling pour out. Ren spun in her arms and scooped her up to place a kiss on the lips that had uttered the words that he so longed to hear. Kyoko giggled at the passionate outpouring from Ren and returned his kiss. When they pulled apart Ren looked up into the face of the girl he held above him. Kyoko giggled again at the joyful expression on his face. She leaned into him to place another light kiss on his lips and pulled back before he could deepen it. "You need to put me down before those burn." Kyoko smiled at the man holding her up. Ren's attention was pulled from the girl he loved to the unseasoned eggs solidifying in the pan. Ren blushed and carefully sat Kyoko down. She stepped up and quickly added salt to the eggs before flipping them over.
"But I was cooking." Ren whined playfully behind Kyoko. She giggled at him again.
"I remember the last time you cooked for me." Kyoko shuttered as she thought about that monstrous dish. Ren chuckled lightly behind her. He knew how awful that had turned out. Ren wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. Kyoko only tensed lightly at the contact before relaxing back into him as she finished out the rest of the fried eyes. Ren looked up when he felt a light weight settle onto the top of his head. The soft tinkling laugh and gentle pull of his hair let him know that their fairy friend had alighted on his head.
"Good morning to you." Ren greeted the unseen guest. Kyoko looked up at him and beamed at the cute girl nestled into Ren's hair.
"Good morning." Kyoko added her greeting. A soft tinkle reached their ears as the fairy cocked her head in question. Unable to hear what the winged girl said, Kyoko ventured a guess it was how they were doing.
"We got out bodies back last night." Kyoko informed the fairy. She clapped her hands in joy and gripped onto Ren's hair as he moved back so Kyoko could take the plates into the table for breakfast. She added some toast to the eggs while Ren got the coffee and juice. The small girl giggled as she perched in Ren's hair. Ren was too happy to care that the little creature had taken a liking to being on his head. He finally had his Kyoko and nothing else mattered this morning.
Ren and Kyoko settled down to enjoy their breakfast together, broken egg shells and all. Kyoko broke up a bit of toast with some strawberry jam and placed it on a napkin so the fairy could descend from Ren's head to sit at the table and eat with the pair.
"Lory has cleared our schedules so we still have the day free." Ren informed his kohai. "What would you like to do?" Kyoko looked up from her plate. She knew that she should get back to work, but she did not feel good and she didn't want to leave Ren's company just yet. She was still exploring the depths of her feelings for the man. Kyoko looked at the little fairy licking the jam off her fingers.
"What would you like to do?" Kyoko asked the winged girl. The fairy looked up at the auburn haired girl and wiggled her wings as she thought. She sat her bread down and stood so that she could take a deep breath and screamed. One single tinkling word made its way into both Ren and Kyoko's ears: home. Both of the actors looked at the little creature in surprise.
"You want to go home?" Ren asked softly to the girl. The fairy twisted her skirt in her hands and blushed as she nodded. Kyoko's heart fell, not because the creature wanted to leave, but because she had kept the girl away from where she belonged. The fairy could see the distress cross Kyoko's face and proceeded to issue a long stream of tinkling words as she tried to relay her feeling to Kyoko, but the words were too soft to make out. Ren watched the pair, Kyoko shook her head and the fairy flapped her wings and continued to rattle on. Ren chuckled at the pair and both of their heads turned towards him.
"You enjoyed her time here but your wing is better so you want to go back home?" Ren asked and the fairy nodded enthusiastically and pointed to Ren as she looked back at Kyoko. It seemed that the actor had hit it right on the nose. Kyoko smiled as she finally understood.
"Alright, we'll take you back home." The fairy flew up and hugged Kyoko's head and kissed her on the cheek before returning to her half-finished breakfast.
It did not take long for Ren and Kyoko to clean up and get ready to take the fairy back to the park where Kyoko had found her. Kyoko held the little girl in her hands so that Ren could drive, he found that it was very distracting having something on top of his head as he tried to work the car. It seemed that the fairy loved the high vantage point and it had taken Kyoko's coaxing to get her to come down. When they arrived at the park, Kyoko placed the fairy on her should and Ren took ahold of Kyoko's hand. Kyoko blushed madly but did not pull away from him, his hand felt so good wrapped around hers. They walked together through the dapple sunlight until they came to an unmarked spot in the path.
"This is where I found her." Kyoko said as she pulled away from Ren and went to the edge of the path. The fairy's wings fluttered lifting her from Kyoko's shoulder. The small creature called out in a tinkling voice to the wood before turning back around to face her new friends. Kyoko raised her hands to catch the fairy as she came back to say goodbye. Ren stepped up behind Kyoko and placed his hand on her shoulder to give support. Parting with the fairy was sure to make the young girl sad.
Before Ren and Kyoko knew what was happening a dozen or more miniature winged people zoomed around their head. One little boy landed on Kyoko's outstretched hand next to the little girl already there. The little girl fairy blushed as the boy fairy pulled her into a crushing hug and kissed her. The girl pushed away from him embarrassed at his show of affection and pointed to Kyoko and Ren. The sounds of tinkling voices could be heard as the little girl explained what happened to the group. Ren held still as he felt the delicate pressure of several of the bolder fay alight on his head and shoulders as the little girl rambled on. By the time the girl was finished, both Ren and Kyoko were covered in tiny winged bodies. It was an unnerving experience for Ren, but Kyoko loved it. The little winged boy asked a few questions before turning his attention to the two humans that had taken care of the injured girl. He bowed deeply in thanks and too to flight so that he could take the girl he loved back home. The little girl lifted off to give both Ren and Kyoko kisses on the cheeks before zooming after the boy. A few of the other fairies gave Ren and Kyoko hugs and kisses. Kyoko dropped her hands and stood to watch them disappear back into the trees back from hence they came. Ren leaned forwards to speak softly to Kyoko.
"Don't worry. I am sure she will come out to see you the next time you come through here." Ren reassured Kyoko. Kyoko nodded her agreement and wiped the tear that had leaked from her eye away.
"I will miss her." Kyoko turned around and press into Ren for a comforting hug. Ren gladly wrapped his arms around her and held her till she felt better. When Kyoko moved to pull back, Ren bent over and placed a light kiss on her lips.
"I will too." Ren answered to the blushing girl he loved. He had a lot to thank that fairy for. The two actors started back to Ren's car hand in hand. As they walked, Kyoko thought over the events from the last few days and blushed.
"These last three days have been so embarrassing." Kyoko admitted and Ren agreed.
"Yes, but they gave me you." Ren pulled Kyoko's hand up so he could run it between his fingers lovingly. Kyoko blushed even darker then she had before.
"True." Kyoko tried to his behind her bangs. "But it had also caused some real problems." Kyoko pointed out. Ren nodded his agreement. There were those pictures of him in the pink jumpsuit, the 200 missed calls from Sho, and the odd rumors that their behavior was sure to have caused. "I kind of wish that it had not happened." Kyoko sighed. Ren tensed when he hear a tinkling laugh come from behind him. It was like that of the fairy's only deeper. Ren whipped around to find the little male fairy perched on a tree limb. The boy grinned and blew a hand full of dust at the pair and Ren felt his consciousness slip away from him as he fell.
"Ren, it's about time to go." Yashiro called into the apartment as he let himself in. He turned the corner into the kitchen without even noticing the two actors asleep on the living room floor. Yashiro was surprised to find that Ren had not even started the coffee that was his usually breakfast. The manger filled the pot and pushed the brew button and went to find out why his charge was not up. "Ren, if we don't get moving, you're going to be late." There was still plenty of time even if Ren was still in bed, but this threat usually got a response from the perpetually punctual man. Yashiro footsteps started him toward Ren's bedroom, but he stopped when he saw the two actors together on the floor. He quickly turned his head back to where he had left his shoes and wondered how he could have missed the young actress' tennis shoes in the entry way. He let out a light squee that he quickly ended so as not to wake the cute couple cuddled on the floor. He took out his gloves and slipped them on so he could get out his phone and take a picture of Kyoko holding Ren to her chest. He got closer and took several more pictures from different angles. His movement disturbed Ren's sleep and the actor sat up and looked at the giddy man oddly.
"What are you doing Yashiro?" Ren asked as he wiped the sleep from his eyes. Ren looked down at the girl curled on the floor next to him and everything came flooding back to him vividly. Yashiro jumped back when Ren bolted from the floor to the bathroom to check to make sure he was in his own body. The refection that stared back at him was definitely his own, but he had to feel himself to make sure all of his bits were in the correct places. He stared at his own brown eyes and debated with himself for a few minutes. Was is a dream? It was too real to be a dream, but that could never happen in real life. Fairies were children's stories and they did not go around switching bodies. Yes, it had to be a dream; an awkward, strange, yet wonderful dream. Ren washed his face to help clear his mind and went back out to the living room where Yashiro was still standing with his mouth open.
"Is everything alright?" The bespectacled man asked, he had never seen Ren move that fast without a reason.
"Yes, I…" Ren did not know how to explain to the man that he was checking to make sure he was in his own body without sounding mad. "It was just a dream." Yashiro raised an eyebrow at the actor in curiosity.
"Mogami-san." Ren patted Kyoko on the shoulder to wake her. "It's time to get up." Kyoko shifted out of her sleep.
"Ren?" She responded before she was awake. Ren froze at the sound of his given name on her lips. Kyoko sat up and rubbed her eyes trying to understand what was going on. Kyoko blushed hard as she looked up into her senpai's eyes.
"We fell asleep on the floor, Yashiro is here to get me for work." Ren explained. Kyoko looked over at the man watching from where he stood next to the wall. The red on her cheeks increased as her ears and neck turned colors too. It was a dream, she cried in her head.
"Yes." Was the only thing Kyoko could think to say as she stood to go use the bathroom. She needed to get away from Ren for a moment. She could not explain the feelings that she had when she woke up. The dream she had been having was just a swirl of blue eyes, fairy wings, and Ren. She could feel that something had shifted in her paradigm, but she was not sure what. Kyoko returned to the living room to find that Ren had gone to get himself ready for the day.
"Did you have a good night?" Yashiro asked with a smile on his face. Kyoko shook her head trying to remember how they got on the floor. She wanted to tell Ren something last night, but she could not remember what it was. She kept getting weird impressions from the dream that she had been having.
"I don't remember." Kyoko admitted to Yashiro. It was like someone had taken her night and shaken it violently so everything was jumble up. "I had a weird dream, so vivid, like it was real. But I'm having problems pulling it away from my real memories." Yashiro looked at her with concern.
"Maybe your blood sugar is low." Yashiro fished for a plausible reason. "Let's get some breakfast and see if that helps." Kyoko nodded and the two friends went to scrounge something editable from Ren's kitchen.
Kyoko fixed a decent breakfast from the meager supplies in the cabinets and sat a portion out for Ren. She found herself giving him less then she normally would have, but somehow knew it would be enough for him. She sat behind her meal and processed her thoughts as she ate in silence. Yashiro watched her careful as he enjoyed her cooking, she was not acting herself this morning. Kyoko looked up when Ren walked into the room and her breath hitched. She now knew what had shifted in her world: her feelings for Ren. Before she cared for, respected, and even feared the great man, but now she felt the warmth of love flowing through her at just the sight of him. Kyoko blushed as she turned her face away from the man pouring himself a cup of coffee. She tried to deny these feelings, but she found that her locks were shattered and the top of the box had been torn off. There was no way that she could stuff what she felt back inside the broken container. Ren sat at the table and looked at the meal that Kyoko had placed out for him.
"Thank you." Ren smiled warmly at her before giving a quick 'itadakimasu' and starting in on his food. Kyoko squashed her feelings down as much as she could, but there was no way for her to lock them away again. Kyoko finished her food and cleared her dished away to the sink to be cleaned. The rest of the morning was filled with deep blushes from Kyoko, long sighs from Ren, and curious glances from Yashiro. It all ended with Ren dropping Kyoko off at the Darumaya.
"Thank you for a wonderful evening." Ren smiled warmly at Kyoko. The already present blush deepened on her cheeks.
"You're welcome." She thanked him. Kyoko had this strange urge to bend over and kiss him, but she fought it back and backed up a step from his car. "Have a nice day Ren." She called before turning and bolting for the restaurant. Ren's eyes widened at her reaction and words. Yashiro grinned at the use of his charges given name.
"So what happened last night?" Yashiro was dying to know what had made the strong willed girl so meek and using the actor's first name.
"It was only a dream." Ren grinned as he put the car into drive and took them both to work. But it was a wonderful dream that he was sure would change his world.
Author's note: I know I am a horrible person. Giving Ren what he wants and take it away from him. At least I left some progress in their relationship. Don't give up just yet... there is one more chapter.
