Summary: The experience of waking up beside your lover for the first time. Chapter 4, Tsubame's P.O.V. when she wakes up... in Akabeko's warehouse.

My dream begins to fade. The same dream of always, the same dirty dream of always... but what's strange is that I've never had this kind of dream twice in a row, in the same night. Am I becoming obsessed with my boyfriend? While I slowly open my eyes, the ceiling comes into focus with its clear wooden rips--
This isn't my bedroom ceiling!
Wait! This isn't my room either. And I'm not wearing my night yukata-- oh, please, Kami-sama, tell me it's not what I'm thinking... Yahiko is sleeping by my side. It is what I was thinking. It hasn't been a dream. So, at least I'm not obsessed with him. The thing is a lot worse than what I expected!!
... I knew it! I just knew it! I knew it would be a bad idea to stay at the restaurant during the night! We had many chores yet to be done, I know, but we should have left them to be done this morning. And I had to agree with that idea of his?! "Just a kiss", he said! And from that kiss we went on and on and on... I knew we wouldn't be able to stop once we'd begun all this, but even knowing so, I agreed! Now here we are, naked over a bunch of rice sacks! I never thought my first time was going to be so un-romantic!!
I get closer to him. I should wake him up, but he looks so cute this way... and so... oh, I think he's having the same kind of dreams I had! Only this would explain his... well... don't look, Tsubame, don't look!
"Hmm... Tsubame-chan..."
Well, at least he's having naughty dreams with me and not with someone else, neh? Anyway, I hope he'll forgive me, but we've got to get up before someone finds us.
"Yahiko-kun?" I say very quietly on his ear. "Yahiko?"
"H-- hm?" He opens his eyes and looks at me. Correction: he spends a whole minute gazing me, which makes my face become a furious shade of red. "Oh holy sh--"
"Don't curse!" I plead.
"Sorry. Did-- did that... truly happen?!"
I just nod. He looks away in disbelief, chuckling lightly. Then, having a look at himself, he discovers he's completely bare, in all his glory; with that noticed, he quickly covers his lower parts with his hands and looks at me, grinning awkwardly.
"Well... guess we should put our clothes on, right?" He tells me and gets up, but stops dead after looking at me. Running my hands over my eyes, I understand why - I'm crying. "Oh, Tsubame-chan..." He hugs me and kisses my forehead. "Why are you crying, huh?"
"I-- I don't know..." I sob, hugging him back tightly. "I'm afraid... what if anyone knows about it? Tae-san would be so mad at me for this..."
"Shh... calm down... she won't be mad at you. Even if she would, I'd defend you, ok? I love you." We stay silently embraced, just holding each other... so good... until he apparently has an idea and looks into my eyes. "... Tsubame."
"Yes?"
"There's... there is a way of avoiding any problem... y'know."
"You... you mean..."
"Hm-rm."
"Oh... but... we are just sixteen, are you sure you--"
"What, Kenshin was younger than that when he got married with Tomoe-san. I don't see any problem in that, I mean, if you don't want it--"
"I do!..." I kiss him on the lips, stopping him from saying anything silly. "I love you... Yahiko-chan." I giggle at his pouting face.
"Ah, c'mon, I'm not 'chan'" he complains, grinning. I scan him from head to toe, blushing madly, but still giggling.
"Not 'chan' indeed!..." I whisper with an unusual mischievous tone in my voice, then pull him closer to kiss me.
Our mouths are just making their initial contact when the shoji door is abruptly opened. With Hiten Mitsurugi speed, Yahiko turns to face no other than the least person I wanted to see in the world.
"Oh-me-God-what's-going-on-here?!?!" Tae-san says, eyes bigger than watermelons, still out of breath from the great shock caused by the scene developing in front of her: Yahiko standing in front of me, his hands concealing his groin region, while I'm sitting on a pile of rice sacks, peeping over his left shoulder - both of us completely nude. I believe words aren't necessary!
"Tae-san, we-- we can explain everything!" Yahiko says in a desperate attempt of fixing our situation. Of course, failing miserably. "Look... please... don't punish Tsubame-chan for this, she's innocent! It was all my fault, I was the one to--"
"Punish? Fault? What are you talking about, Yahiko-kun? Who said I was going to punish you two?"
He didn't expect this. In fact, neither did I!...
"A-aren't you?"
"Of course not! Geez! I could see in your eyes this was going to happen sooner or later. I'd prefer it to be later, but now that it's done, fine then. That is, unless you think you're going to get away from marriage!" She glares at him, but he just chuckles light-heartedly.
"Don't worry, Tae-san. I want to and I'm going to marry Tsubame. I promise."
"NO!" We both scream, before he could cross his fingers in front of his lips and expose some very noteworthy parts of his anatomy.
"I believe in your words, Yahiko-kun. Now I'll leave you two to dress properly." She says, turning to leave and closing the door behind her. As if on cue, Yahiko turns to me again and gives me a passionate kiss.
"And don't make anymore damage to my rice!" Tae-san shouts by the door, and we can't but burst into laughs.
Author's Notes: Being the modern, open-minded woman she is, Tae would perfectly handle a teenage couple with racing hormones... ^_^ Oh well... she'll have her release in the next chapter, though ~_^ Guess with who!
Did you like the way I portrayed Tsubame-chan? Or did I make her a pervert (like me -_-'')? I mean, even if she's still the shy girl she was by ten, I believe her relationship with Yahiko-kun would be quite hotter six years later... and I guess if he tried something naughtier (as he'd done in this fic), she would eventually accept because she loves him - and knows he also loves her. So cute ^_^ I made some drawings of them, but my scanner isn't working - crap. One was Tsubame-chan (age 14 with the Akabeko uniform), the second was Yahiko-kun (also 14, childish face but delicious shirtless body). And the last one was the illustration for the last paragraph, in which he turns and kisses her - quite hentai, but cute anyway.
And stay calm, S+M fans... they'll come in chapter 6!
Love, Prudence-chan
On... hell, I don't know when I wrote this -_-''
