Just You and I
It was still early when they had diner. An unusual silence settled during the meal. Kouki tried tentatively to break it with few jokes. And Tampopo was laughing more than she would do naturally. The lovers' good mood couldn't clear up the tension that hung in the air since they were back from the rides.
Sometimes Aoï replied to Kouki's teasing remarks but obviously the spiky blond youth wasn't in the mood. Tzukiko smiled occasionnaly to her friends but her features turned blank anytime she bent her head towards her plate.
When the diner was over, Tzukiko insisted to help Tampopo to wash the dishes.
« You...really want to help me, Saionji-san ? » Tampopo asked with wide eyes.
« Yes. Does it sound so weird from me ? Rich people are well-mannered, you know. » Saionji replied, sticking out her tongue.
« Ok ! » Tampopo smiled back. « Kugyo-san ! Saionji-san and I will take care of the dishes. » She added staring at her lover.
« Um..ok. Kyogoku, you come? » Kyogoku nodded silently with a rather relieved expression on his face, chores were not espacially his tea bags. He glanced towards Saionji's turned back one last time before leaving.
When the two young men left the kitchen, Tampopo faced her friend. « Saionji-san, I'm sorry but I'll go straight to the point. How do you feel? I know I should not bother you again about your attack but if - »
« I'm feeling better now, thank you. I'll forget it soon. There's nothing else I can do anyway.»
Tampopo knew how strong her friend was. Still, there was something her friend didn't tell her. « Is there a problem between you and Kyogoku-san? » asked innocently Tampopo.
« Um....Why him? » A slight blush tainted her cheeks, Tanpopo noticed it.
« You two act uneasily towards each other. He said or did something you didn't like ne? »
Saionji sighed. « At the rides, Kyogoku-san rescued me.We went back here, he conforted me. And we kissed. » Saionji blushed deep red.
At last! Tampopo wanted to yell. But that could upset her friend even more so she just said, « You don't seem happy with it. »
« I am. It was wonderful...But things are going too fast for me. It has happened after a harsh situation, I wasn't really aware of the repercussions. » Saionji hoped she sounded convincing.
« And what about Kyogaku-san? Did you talk to him? » asked Tampopo.
« Not yet. I'm not sure of my own feelings and I'm afraid of what he might said to me...I don't want to get involved in the rush. »
« Sou.. »
In the wide garden, Kouki laid down on a deckchair streched his body. His loud yawn broke the too silent atmosphere.
«Oy, Kyogoku! »
« What? »
« If you continue sulking, I'll think you're not enjoying your holydays in my home or we bother you. »
« I'm not sulking! »
« Oh yes, you are. »
« ..Ok! But I'm glad to be here, really. »
« What's wrong, Kyogoku? »
Kouki thought that his friend had retourned to his deaf world when Aoï finaly opened his mouth. « What would you do if a girl seems interested in you and then throws you like a kleenex? »
Kouki blinked, « What's happened with Saionji? »
« How do you know? » Aoï turned his head towards Kouki.
« I'm not blind. » Kouki smirked at him, « What have you done to her again? »
« Nothing! Well...It's her! She doesn't want to talk to me. She pursposely avoids me since our kiss. »
« She had not yet recovered from her attack I guess. Give her a bit more time. »
« She will throw me away again. »
« You never know. When you kissed her she didn't reject you first, right? »
« Yeah but- »
« Hey! What are you talking about, you two? » Tampopo joined them. Kouki sat up letting a place on the long chair for her lover to sit down.
«Where's Saionji? » asked Aoï.
« Oh, she's resting in her bedroom. She said she was tired. »
Aoï stood up immediately « I'm going to bed too. Oyasumi! » He said before leaving the couple. They wished him good night but Aoï was already heading for the house.
Tzukiko removed the bath towel around her lean body and sliped into her short pale pink bathrobe.Standing in front of the huge glass settled in her private bathroom, she unfastened her bun and combed her long wavy hair. Her gesture ceased as her thoughts took over her action. Her kiss with Kyogoku flashed in her mind. She remembered the sudden race of her heartbeat as she felt his hands caressing her body and his moist lips capturing her mouth in an ardent kiss.
Knot. Knot. Knot. « Saionji ? »
The masculin voice made her started. The last person she wanted to meet, at least not at this moment, was right behind the door. Maybe if she kept quiet he would get tired waiting and he would leave she thought hopefuly.
« Saionji, we need to talk. Please, let me in. » Kyogoku seemed determined to come in. Why was he so stubborn? Saionji sighed. If she kept her mouth shut he would harass her even more. And she knew that she would regret it. Saionji hoped that her blush had disappeared from her cheeks. Then she slowly opened the door.
The young man standing in the door's frame looked at Saionji straight in the eye. She felt as if he was seeking for any clue of unexpressed feelings on her face . It made her unconfortable. He is going to make a scene she thought. Her heart tightened as Saionji realized she was going to endure what she had been avoiding until then. Kyogoku walked past her. As she turned back to face him, she was suddenly cornered against the hard wood door, one of his hands was put on the door right next to her temple. Her surprised expression changed fast for a worried one as Aoï leaned toward her blushing face.
My.God.She's beautiful. Aoï couldn't help taking a rapid look to her attractive figure. Her short bathrobe revealed well designed legs, the belt was fastened around a thin waist, and the front opening of the cloth let Aoï see her pale smooth skin. Don't ruin everything man, Aoï told himself. He fought the urge to slip his hand under this neckline and feel her skin under his touch. « Why are you ignoring me since this afternoon, Saionji? What's wrong? » Aoï said in a rather sharp ton. He didn't want to look furious because he wasn't. But the girl had left him with unanswered questions and her silence was starting to get on his nerves.
« I...we should not have gone so far. » Saionji finally said, tilting her face on a side her eyes lowered. « I think we should forget all this. I..I don't want to break our friendship. »
What?! Aoï was expecting anything but this poor excuse. « Sorry? » hissed Aoï, a scowl forming between his eyebrows. Saionji lift her gaze to meet Aoï narrowed eyes. She caught their sadness hidden behind the obvious anger and it affected her deeply.
« You don't want me because our friendship could end? And you really think I'll believe this bullshit! » Aoï nearly yelled, his fists tightening against the door. Then he lowered his arms to cercle them around Saionji's back and waist, and drew the girl against his chest in one quick motion.
« Ah!....Let me go you moron! » Saionji glaring at him tried to get free of his firm hold.
« Listen to me, Saionji. » He said to a struggling pretty girl. Each time she tried to push Aoï aside she was drew back even more forcefully. Saionji could have hit him in a sensible area with her knee, then she would have thrown his stupid head against the nearer wall or strangled him til he begged for breath. She hated so much to be caught like that. She didn't make a move though.
« I'll let you go when we finish this talk, » Aoï said then he softened his ton to add, « You really don't want me? » At this moment he loosened a bit his hold around Saionji's tense body. With one free arm he softly stroke her back. « I feel so good when I'm with you, » Aoï began to caress her cheek. « I don't want to act as if what we've experienced yesterday wasn't important. Because you mean a lot for me. Let's be together...Let's be together to share again wonderful moments just the two of us. »
Saionji began to settle in his embrace. Their eyes locked, she could have drowned herself in the depth of Aoï's amber eyes. She tried to ignore the little voice of her conscience which was yelling at her to run away, to deny her weakness.
Aoï waited for a answer from Saionji. She opened her mouth several times but nothing came. She averted her gaze, her body slightly shaking. « Saionji? » Aoï hold her shoulders and stroke her forearms slowly. Then the girl threw herself in his arms, clinging to his neck.
Not that again. Aoï sighed internaly as he heard the muffled sounds of her sobs. It would be the second time in two days she would cry on his shoulder. The first time it wasn't his fault but now it seemed he pushed the girl over her limits. Now, he was expecting Saionji to say something like I'm sorry it's impossible or I regret but we can't... Sometimes apologizes could hurt like hell.
Saionji moved, she lift her head and whispered to Aoï's ear: « Hai. »
The young man withdrew a bit to look at her. « What? » He was giving a warm smile. « Yes. I do want you. » Saionji said softly, her face flushed and wet.
Aoï felt his heart jump in his chest. She said she wanted me. She wanted me. Me!!!
He gave back her smile and tightened his left arm around her waist and raised his right hand to dried her cheek. He looked tenderly at her beautiful eyes. « Saionji, I'd like you to know that I lo- » Aoï was suddenly interrumpted when Saionji reached to engage them in a lip lock. Aoï was going to protest because he had to said the words to Saionji. But then he let himself succumb to those sweet lips. He brushed his lips on hers and licked them until they allowed him entrance. Then, Aoï sucked eagerly the little muscle which entwined with his. Saionji grabbed Aoï's shoulder blades and moaned as she was transported by a warm feeling of tenderness. She didn't noticed that her feet left the ground as Aoï lift her in his arms. They broke the kiss several minutes later, spent.
Saionji yawned. « Sorry, » she said half embarrassed half smiling.
Aoï chuckled. « Maybe it's time to go to bed, » Saionji gazed at him.
« To sleep. » Aoï added, with a reassuring look. Then Saionji took his hand and led him to her bed. Aoï lied down and spread his arms. Saionji joined him on the mattress and curled up against his chest. Aoï wrapped one arm around her shoulders and placed a light kiss on her forehead. « Good night, love. »
« Good night, Kyogoku. » Saionji buried her face in the crook of his neck.
One hour in the morning and Saionji was still awake. Anxiety was eating what left of her confidence. She was still pressed in her new lover's embrace. His steady breath told her he was deeply asleep. She thought about the wonderful days they would spend together but holydays were ending. She would go back to home and her life would definitely change.
