A/N: As soon as I woke up the following day after uploading X-ray, I already know that I have to update soon. But I was quite distracted with other things. Hah. Sounds like an excuse but that's life. Anyway, even though I managed to post X-ray, I was really not quite myself as sonic-elric nicely pointed out my mistake. June 6 instead of June 2. Geez. I've been thinking too much about June 6 because that's the day I'm going to find out if there's a way to improve my class schedule.

Folks, you're quite eager, aren't you? Hope it's not too much trouble for you ;) Thanks, by the way, for taking the time to review. This happy (and tired) author appreciates it a lot ;)

Chapter 25. Yeast


-x-


She took a deep breath in preparation to tackle all the Student Council's work in her desk. She would have pulled an all-nighter last night to finish everything. However, when she was about to do just that, she recalled him prohibiting him from overdoing things. At first, she scoffed and started reading documents. Several minutes later, she was still on the same page, on the same paragraph, but couldn't understand what it was all about because his warning and threats of punishments kept on popping in her mind. Half an hour later, she gave up. She was aggravated with herself that even if he wasn't around, he could make her do things according to his will. While anxious about his retaliation for disobeying him which no doubt include a lot of kissing and who knew what embarrassing things, and even though she wasn't entirely opposed to those, she just didn't want to disappoint him, to see the worry in his face even if he tried to hide it. So in the end, she slept early that night, deciding that she would wake up early to work for it.

'Enough dawdling. Let's get to work now, Misaki!'

She wanted to get things done today so she would have free time later.

She flushed when she realized that the reason she wanted to free her time later from Student Council works was to have time with him.

'Him again.'

She mentally smacked herself. It seemed that in every turn of her thoughts, it was impossible not to think about him. Many things had been happening between them. The trust and care that were going deeper between them, they were nice. She was getting the hang of those things when it came to him.

And of course, the growing intimacy between them.

Blood rushed to her face once more at the thought of the physical contacts that they had. The last time they were alone together a few days before was the most intimate that they had ever been.

'To think I allowed him to do those things!...Why Misaki, what about what you had done?"

Her ears glowed at the memory of what she had boldly done to him.

'Touching him like that. What was I thinking?'

Of course, she had asked herself several times already about her boldness. And she had played the event many times in her head already, and every time she did, she blushed like an was impossible to not think of it and not blush.

She broke out of her trance when she felt a shift in the air.

"Think of the alien and he will arrive," she murmured when she heard the door creaked open. She lifted her eyes to look at the door, and was proved correct when she saw him.

"Misa-chaaan," he chirped happily, sauntering to her with purposeful steps.

"What?" She snapped in annoyance to cover the nervousness and excitement that she felt at his appearance. She wasn't really surprised to see him. She had come to terms already that wherever she was, he was bound to show up somehow, even if it was two hours early before classes start.

She glanced at the papers in her desk. With his appearance, she doubted if she would get anything done. And to think she hadn't accomplish much yet.

'Annoying alien.'

"Nothing. I'm just happy to see my girlfriend," he answered happily, his grin growing when a light blush spread in her cheeks.

"If you're going to stay here, then be quiet and let me get some work done," she answered as she bowed her head to look at the paper in her hand. Bowing was also her way of hiding the blush in her cheeks.

Silence ensued, which should have been good since she would be able to concentrate. However, that wasn't the case when he was around. Absence of sound from him sometimes meant trouble for her.

"What are you looking at, alien?" she snapped when she raised her head and met his gaze.

"I'm hungry."

"So? I'm not food. Go buy something to eat. You should have eaten something before coming here," she snapped in annoyance, though inwardly she was thinking if she had any food in her bag aside from her food for lunch.

"I want to stay with Misa-chan," he whined.

"Suit yourself then," she snapped irritably as she continued to work. Of course, she couldn't concentrate anymore as her concern for him grew.

'This is so annoying.'

She picked her bag and looked for her lunched box even as she said, "I have something here. You could..."

She stopped talking when his hand caught hers.

"Can I have you as my breakfast instead?" He asked seriously.

"W-wha...wh...don't be stupid!" She exclaimed as her face reddened. She tried to pull her hand back, but he wouldn't let go. "Gah! What are you doing?" She asked as she stood and leaned away from his approaching face. Of course she knew what he intended to do even without his answer.

'No way.'

She shut her eyes tight as she felt the warm and moist muscle touched her jaw up to the base of her ear.

"Delicious," he murmured as he nibbled on the ear that was as red as her face.

"T-Takumi don't..."

"I'm hungry," he said as rained kisses on her ear down to her jaw.

Even when her mind was telling her that she should make him stop, her body unconsciously encouraged him as she tilted her head to give him access. She shivered when he started licking her neck down to her collarbone which was exposed as he pulled on the collar of her uniform.

"Yummy," he said after a few minutes of feasting on her skin.

She opened her eyes in time to see him licking his lips. She shuddered.

He wasn't finish though.

"I want more."

When he moved towards her once more, she didn't pull away. She let him lick her lower lip, parting her lips when he coaxed her. She gave a startled gasp when he immediately plunged his tongue inside her mouth as soon as she allowed him access. Hungrily, he devoured her.

Forgetting about the reason she had came early for, she responded to his passion and kissed him back just as hungrily. She gasped and pulled back when she felt his hand on her chest. She gazed at him wide-eyed, while he looked back at her with questioning eyes, silently asking to continue. He was prepared to pull away if she would refuse, but she surprised him by looking away and nodding imperceptibly.

"Look at me," he asked with deeper voice as desire laced his body. She was being submissive, and while he loved and enjoyed the dominant side of her, he also treasured just as much the times when she was amiable and adorably shy.

Slowly, she turned to meet his eyes. Her eyes widened when she met intense green eyes boring into hers. Her heart, already pounding in her chest, raced some more as she read what she had come to realize as desire for her, only for her. She swallowed an imaginary lump in her throat as she waited for his next move.

Without breaking eye contact, he moved his hand and she inhaled sharply. She exhaled just as sharp when he repeated the motion of his hand, gently squeezing. It felt nice that she wanted to close her eyes, but his intense gaze on hers stopped her. With half-lidded eyes, she watched him watch her.

'Ugh this feels nice. I don't want him to stop...How embarrassing...'

She felt the same feelings like the last time he touched her. Her body tingled with each movement. She knew she was anticipating, and it brought embarrassment to her, thinking that she was becoming greedy with his intimate touches.

Her half-lidded eyes widened when he slowly lowered his head without breaking eye contact. He descended until his face was on the level of her chest. She watched him glance at her chest where one of his hands was resting, before looking back at her eyes. Her head automatically nodded, giving permission to his silent request.

And then all she could see was blond hair as he burrowed his face on her chest. She jerked when she felt something moist on the valley of her chest. How he managed to unbutton her blouse that quick was lost to her as she grabbed his hair.

She felt the heat spread in her body as his tongue tasted her skin and his hands, now two of them, squeezed and caressed her.

"Stop…" she pleaded. It might have had the desired effect if she didn't follow it with a moan, or if her body didn't betray her as she pushed his head closer to her.

They were supposed to do something, or she was supposed to do something, the back of her mind told her. Whatever that something, however, she could hardly remember it as he assaulted her senses, his lips unrelenting as he placed open-mouthed kisses from the valley of her chest to her collarbone and up to her neck. He had completely cleared his path upwards as the upper part of her blouse was parted and her necktie was taken off from her. It somewhat scared her that he had done those without her noticing.

"You don't mean that," he whispered in her skin, before going back to his business.

"S-someone might come," she struggled to say, the coherent part of her telling her that they were still at the Student Council room and not at the privacy of his apartment. Despite what her rational mind was telling her, however, she didn't make a move to stop him. Instead, she threw her head and moaned when he squeezed gently on the territory that he was finally allowed to touch amidst a barrier. Despite the barrier that her bra provided, the heat of the touch burned the both of them.

"No one will come yet. It's too early," he said, lowering his hand at the underside of her breast, before creeping back, now underneath the material of her bra. He groaned at the feel of soft skin, just as she jerked in surprised and pleasure at the feel of his fingers. When he heard no protests from his normally complaining girlfriend, he caressed the skin that he was allowed access. He didn't go farther, knowing that any more and he would be craving for more than he could handle, of more than he should do at the moment.

"Takumi…"

The tone on her voice made him pause. But whether she was asking him to stop or to continue, they were both unsure.

"Do you want me to stop?" He asked huskily, his mind screaming both for her to say yes and to say no at the same time. His brain might be muddled by desire, but he was still aware that what they were doing should be done in private, somewhere where they wouldn't be interrupted, especially since they were still exploring this part of their relationship.

"Yes."

She was still aware that they shouldn't be doing this yet, especially here despite how good his touches felt. With great difficulty, she tried to fight her body's desire with her rational thought.

Because she said so and he knew it was the right thing to do at the moment, he started to pull away. However, she was holding him tight, preventing him from moving away. He tried to meet her eyes, but she was looking at everything but him.

"Do you want me to continue?"

She didn't answer. She was torn between wanting to continue and not.

"Misaki..."

She still didn't answer.

With an understanding and patient smile, he pulled away once more.

And once more, she didn't let him.

"Y-yes..." she said in a small voice that he didn't almost hear if he wasn't paying attention.

"Can I continue?" He repeated, just to be sure.

"Yes..." she said in slightly louder voice.

Instead of jumping at the opportunity, however, he allowed his teasing streak into surface as he repeated the question.

One more time, she affirmed her previous answer as she answered in a determined voice, "Yes."

Not contented, he repeated the question.

"I said yes, you stupid idiot! How many times do you want me to say it? Or do you want me to say no, do you?" She yelled, her patience at its end. He was destroying the mood. "You know what, maybe we shouldn't hmp!"

She couldn't talk anymore when his lips suddenly slammed into hers.

"Say it one more time, Misaki..." he murmured in her lips when he let her breathe for air greedily.

"YES! Satisfied? You idiot!" She yelled at him in a hoarse voice.

"Yes."

He kissed her hard once more. But just when things started to heat up, he suddenly pulled away and frantically straightened her and her uniform as well as his while she could only stay frozen, unable to comprehend what was going on. One moment they were kissing heatedly, and then the next he was a flurry of movements.

She got her answer when as soon as he finished, the door creaked open and someone peeked hesitantly. She almost jumped at the sound and the appearance of another person in the room.

"I-is everything fine here?" Yukimura asked timidly. He didn't want to just barge in if the President was on a rampage or something similar.

The said President looked at him with what Yukimura interpreted as anger, when in truth it was horror at the near disaster. But he didn't know that, and he would never find out.

"I...I heard sh-shouting and I...um...I..." Yukimura stuttered as he glanced at Misaki fearfully.

"It's okay. The President was just expressing loudly..." Usui started while Misaki's eyes grew wide for every word that left his lips.

'He won't tell Yukimura, will he?'

She looked at him with wide eyes. If he embarrassed her, she would make sure he would die a painful death. She looked at the nervous Yukimura and then back at the calm person in front of her. Her mind whirled with several thoughts. But on top of all, she wondered if her conversation with Usui before was heard, especially the intimate ones. She was a bit relieved that Yukimura didn't catch them in uncompromising position thanks to the sharp alien senses of her alien boyfriend. Nevertheless, she was still fearfully concerned that Yukimura heard them.

"What exactly did you hear, Yukimura?" She asked as calmly as possible, though her insides were twisting with trepidation. She didn't know what she would do if Yukimura confirmed her fears.

"I...I can't really hear clearly because I just came here...and...and then I heard Pres saying yes, but I'm not sure if it's yes really..." Yukimura said nervously, his body twitching with want to leave the place for now.

"As I've said before, Pres was saying..." Usui started once more, but she cut him off.

"We were talking about yeast, you know, yeast ..." she said with gritted teeth, her eyes flashing in warning to her boyfriend to keep his mouth shut.

"Yeast?"

Yukimura looked at her in confusion.

"T-that's correct. I was asking this alien here if it's true that yeast could be harmful, too, because Suzuna was saying something the other day that yeasts could cause human ailments. I know that yeasts are being use in making wines and beers and in baking (23) so I'm interested to know," she explained hurriedly, for once silently thanking Suzuna's frequent monologues on things related to prizes in raffles like wine yesterday.

"Ah. I've read it somewhere, too, Pres. Yes, something about causing oral thrush," Yukimura said as his face brightened. "So I think it's true that yeasts are both beneficial and threatening species."

And then Yukimura launched on what he knew about yeasts, but she wasn't listening anymore. Her relief was too much that she almost sagged. She was thankful that Yukimura bought her lame excuse. She silently asked for the clueless and innocent boy to forgive her for lying.

"Usui-san, you don't know about it?" Yukimura asked in confusion. The thought of Usui not knowing something was a foreign concept to him.

"Nah. I know it. I was just teasing Pres here," he said as he smirked at his blushing girlfriend.

'You stupid idiot!'

She could only glare at him and punish him painfully in her mind.

"By the way. Do you need something here, Yukimura?" She asked loudly, trying to divert anything that might lead to more embarrassment for her case.

"Y-yeah. I just need some papers and then I'm going to the classroom. I'm going to work on it at the classroom before class starts," Yukimura said as he headed to the said papers. As soon as he had it, he immediately bid goodbye.

Once only the two of them were left at the room, she braced herself for the teasing that she knew would come.

"Yeast huh?"

"Yes yeast! It's your entire fault, idiot Takumi!" She cried out, already high strung. The nervousness and fear of being caught were still running high in her system.

"But I didn't mean for you to shout. Now look what happened, we were interrupted," he whined.

"Serves you right," she shot indignantly.

"And you don't regret being interrupted?" He asked huskily as he took a step towards to her.

A part of her did, a really large part of her. At the same time, she was also thankful to the interruption. But those thoughts weren't important at the moment because there was the matter of him advancing on her that she should focus on.

She backed away from him, increasing the distance between them when he tried to shorten it.

"Don't you dare come here, you idiot!" She warned as she moved away.

"But why not?" He asked, back to his whining.

"B-because who knows what might happen again! It's dangerous for us to be close this time," she said with exasperation. She feared that one touch from him would have her asking for more. Now that the interruption was over and she knew that their secret remained safe, her body was burning again at the memory of what was happening earlier. She could still feel in her skin the warmth of his skin and the gentleness of his touches. Her body was screaming for his touch, but she didn't want to give in. At least not now.

"In the future then."

She met his gaze as an internal battle occurred. At the end of the battle, she shyly nodded, and blushed prettily when his eyes widened with shock before his face brightened.

It was a promise.

A/N: First thing first. I don't know if yes and yeast sounds the same in Japanese, but I don't really care. For the sake of this story, they do haha ;) And I'm quite tired when I was trying to improve this chapter so forgive me for any mistakes.

Second thing, my laziness won over and Arvendell decided not to make an FB account (as of now. Let's see how my head will direct me in the future ;), though I created an email which I'm going to use to communicate for the third thing...

The third thing is I'll let folks whom I know deserve it to have a copy of the original version of Y (written when a sequel to this story hasn't crossed my head yet). If you think X is quite naughty, well...the original Y is more ;) I had to tame Chapter Y (version 3) that I posted here as well as the Z that I will post next time because of the events that will happen in the sequel. Still, I made Alphabet rated M already. So folks, I'll either PM you or get your attention through one of my posts when I'm ready to share the Yeast version 1. You better be 18 years old or above. Or at least a mature one haha (How do you gauge maturity? Seriously, it's quite subjective if you don't consider the age. Some are mature even at young age, while some are so immature even when they are old already!). No, the scene in the version 1 didn't happen at the SC room.

The fourth thing, which is also the fourth thing in the previous chapter, is I'm going to let you choose (if you're interested) what story you want to read next. No, As One is not among the choices. Instead, you can choose one among these 6 titles: Break Time; Clothes; Monster; Secret Revealed; The Punishment; and Warmth. These stories range from 1-2 chapters (I think. I can't remember much haha). All of these are quite naughty/fun in their own way yet two/three have a touch of seriousness, too. Two are spoilers to either Chapter 60 or 61 of the manga. Three are rated M. One is very much a future fic. One has too much teasing from Misaki's perverted alien ;) Now then, which one do you want to be uploaded next time? Only one. Two choices will not be counted haha.

Now then, I've distracted myself enough. I guess I'm going to start thinking again what will happen during the enrolment, on what my final schedule will be. Or at the least, I'm going to get some sleep now! ;)

Surprised me folks when I'm back. I'll be away after enrolment to do field work. Hope it won't rain too hard and there won't be a typhoon since I will be travelling by sea.

Until next time! Take care, folks!
