Warning and Disclaimer: There is some lemony material in this chapter (this
means sex between Rei and Kira for those who don't know what the term lemon
means). I don't support nor do I condemn premarital sex. If lemony
material offends you please don't read this chapter. I will disregard any
flames about this, because you've been warned. People please be gentle
with me, this is the first time writing a lemon. I don't own any of the
characters in this story, but the plot is all mine mine mine!
A/N: I've decided to get into the story first and to save the responses to reviews for the end.
The bright sun pouring in from the uncurtained windows burned Kira's eyes as she slowly awakened from her long sleep. She stretched her arms across the full sized bed and felt nothing to her surprise. Kira sat up in bed and looked across the small apartment, it was quiet and very much empty. Rei wasn't home.
Kira let out a long yawn and reluctantly tumbled out of bed. She hadn't gotten a decent night's sleep in years and didn't want to come out of her peaceful slumber. She wasn't sure if she slept so well because she was out of the ward or if it was because Rei was there with her. Her gaze traveled slowly from the battered and stained once blue carpet below her feet to the stained windows. It appeared to be a beautiful day outside.
She walked from the foot of the unmade bed to the bathroom to get washed up so she could do some cleaning or something productive. A folded white sheet of paper on a light brown plastic milk carton caught her eye. Kira bent over and picked it up to read it. It read:
K-
Hey, left to work. I'm sorry you had to wake up by yourself. I left some cash under this note so you can buy something to eat, don't worry about me I'll grab something on the way home. I'll try and get home early.
Love, R
Her lips curved up slightly after finishing the letter. His writing style was just like Rei, short, sweet and to the point. She truly hoped that Rei would make it home early. Although she'd seen him last night and slept in the same bed with him she found herself anxious to see him again. Rei was like a drug you couldn't get enough of.
She stepped into the small bathroom and took a look around. The baby blue and white tiles were swirled into various patterns and the grout in- between them were badly stained with age and dirt. Rei's damp towel hung over the shower rod and a fresh white carefully folded towel was laid on the counter. Kira smiled at how considerate he was. She really hoped that they could live together like this, just him and her.
Kira undressed quickly, pulling her oversized t-short over her head and letting her panties fall to the ground and rest at her ankles. She got into the shower and closed the glass door. She jumped when the cold water hit her back and remembered Rei warning her that the plumbing in the building was old. Soon enough the water grew to be luke warm.
As she ran her sudsy sponge along her body she wondered what her step father was doing now and if he'd been to the ward yet. She could almost picture how furious he'd be when he'd found out that she was missing. He'd cast the blame upon the nurses that were responsible for me and he'd cast the blame upon my doctors and never himself. That was how her stepfather handled every problem.
When she was done showering she stepped out of the shower and quickly toweled herself off and slipped into new underwear and a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She then got on her socks, sneakers and tucked the bill under Rei's letter into her back jeans pocket.
As she walked down the deserted streets she found herself feeling guilty. Rei was out working hard from morning to night so that they'll have a happy life together while she did nothing all day. This made her feel useless yet again. People often told her that everybody has a role to play on this earth, she wondered what hers was.
After walking down blocks of abandoned buildings she finally came across a small corner grocery store. The red and white sign read 'Mama Caparro's Deli.'
"Good day, I don't remember seeing you around these parts," an old man said outside as he swept up the dried leaves with his old and beaten broom.
"I just moved here," Kira replied politely. "It was nice meeting you," she said as she offered him a nod and walked into the store.
Walking down the small isles she noticed that somebody was watching her. The older teen stood a few feet away from her pretending to read the nutrition facts on the back of a box of cereal. She was thin and average height and wore fancy bobby pins with butterflies in her short blond hair. Kira began to wonder if she was sent by her stepfather to bring her back home. She was so certain that he'd come back for her, that it was beginning to make her a bit paranoid.
Kira tried hard to ignore her apparent stalker until it was all to obvious and she decided to speak up. "Um, can I help you with something?" Kira asked politely, trying hard not to offend the girl in case she really wasn't stalking her.
"Oh, me? I'm sorry for staring, but you look exactly like what my friend Rei described his girlfriend to look like. Are you by any chance Kira Aso?" the girl questioned friendlily.
Kira blushed, she still wasn't quite used to being somebody's girlfriend. "Yeah, I am," Kira said, nodding slightly causing her waist mid back length ponytail to sway back and forth.
"I'm Harumi, Rei and I went to high school together," she said, extending a friendly hand towards Kira. Saying 'went to high school together' made Harumi feel like she was a graduate when in fact it was only that Rei dropped out.
Kira took it and shook Harumi's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Harumi. Rei's told me about you and you're boyfriend Tatsuya. I'm really happy to know that Rei has great friends like you."
"So, do you live around here?" Harumi asked, following Kira as she strolled down the isles, picking up various tinned vegetables and bottled juices. It was really hard to be jealous of somebody so innocent looking and polite, but Harumi still found herself wishing that she could take Kira's place and be in Rei's arms.
"I guess you could say that," Kira replied, considering her tiring twenty minute walk here.
They continued to talk and get to know each other and eventually they ended up at the cash register picking up Kira's grocery bags.
"I'll take you home if you don't have a ride," Harumi offered, holding the door open for Kira to pass.
"Oh no, I couldn't ask you that," Kira said quickly. She didn't like imposing on people.
"No no, it's no problem," Harumi insisted as she led Kira to her car. It was only a few steps away and it took minutes alone for Kira and Harumi to pack the grocery bags into the car and to get going.
"So, how do we get to your apartment from here?" Harumi asked as she began to pull out of her parking spot.
"Make a left at the next block and keep going straight," Kira said, snapping her belt buckle into place.
Harumi nodded. "You live around here?" she asked, sounding surprised. The quaint grocery stores and small multifamily houses became back streets and abandoned factories and buildings. She couldn't imagine a tiny framed girl like Kira living alone in an area like this.
"Yeah, I know it doesn't look like much, but this is all Rei and I can manage for now," Kira replied simply.
"Wait, you guys are living together now?" she gasped in reply. Rei said that he'd be moving out of his step father's mansion, but failed to mention that he'd be living with Kira.
"Yeah, we didn't really plan it though" Kira said, preparing herself for the speeches that her teachers and family members used to make about how wrong it was to live with a man before you're married.
"Wow, that's just too cool. Did I tell how lucky you are to be going out with a guy like Rei," Harumi exclaimed, squealing like a school girl. "It's almost like eloping. Speaking of that, when are you guys getting married and having kids?"
Kira burst out laughing. The thought of Rei in a tuxedo or a small child extending his arms to Rei and calling him 'daddy' was just too much for her.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm babbling again aren't I? I have a bad habit of doing that. It's probably annoying isn't it?" Harumi asked after Kira's laughter died down.
"No no, it's nice actually. I've never really had a friend that I could talk to. Rei's great and all, but it's nice to have a girl to talk to," Kira admitted.
Harumi smiled, she'd just made a new friend.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Three loud raps at the door pierced through Kira's thoughts, causing her to jump out of her seat. She wondered who it could be, and immediately she began to fear that her stepfather found her.
She rushed to the front door and fearfully peered through the peep hole of the door. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Rei standing at the door, running his hands through his long and shaggy blond hair.
"Rei, I thought you had a key," Kira commented as she opened the door and stepped aside for Rei to enter.
"I know, but I've always wanted to be greeted at the door by a beautiful woman," Rei replied smugly as he locked the door and swooped down and held her in his arms.
"You said you'd try to get home early today," Kira complained, closing her eyes and inhaling his scent. He smelled like a mix of gasoline, grease and lemon.
"I am home early," Rei said as he put down his tool box and flopped down unto the bed. "Ugh, I'm so exhausted."
Kira felt a pang of guilt when he said this. "Maybe I should get a job, that way you wont have to work so much."
"No, I wont allow it. Nine to six at a video store and then seven to twelve at a construction site is nothing," Rei lied as he pulled off his damp t-shirt and undershirt. His broad sweaty chest gleamed in the moon light.
Kira sighed and walked over to sit next to him. "I missed you," she admitted. She couldn't resist running a hand across his abdomen, it was more muscular than she expected. His skin seared underneath her cold hands.
Rei glanced at her and smiled slightly. It was a bit uncharacteristic for Kira to touch him like that, he usually had to kiss her first. He liked it when she decided to make the first move.
"I missed you too," Rei said, taking her hand in his.
Without thinking Kira leaned down and kissed Rei tenderly. Their innocent kisses turned into lustful kisses, leaving much more to be desired. Within moments Rei's body was on top of Kira's and the first few buttons of her shirt were undone, leaving part of her lacy white bra visible.
Kira pulled away for air and laid motionless as Rei's hands got aquatinted with her stomach and soon found their way to the strap of her bra. Soon enough she was topless and Rei's hands began to flick her nipples.
"What's wrong?" Rei asked, pulling away from her when he noticed the change of pace in her breathing.
"It's nothing just that... I thought you were exhausted," Kira joked, changing the subject. She knew exactly where things were going and she could feel his manhood poking at her ribs. Suddenly she felt selfconscious and crossed her arms against her chest. Kira wondered how she compared to any of the girls he had in the past.
Rei smiled at her, but it faded as quickly s it appeared. "A guy's never too tired for that. Don't change the subject Kira. If you don't want to do it just let me know. I don't mind."
Kira smiled up at him. It was wrong to punish Rei for crimes her step father. "No, I want this with you," Kira said, trying to convince herself that she was doing the right thing along with Rei.
"Are you sure?" Rei asked, not wanting to do something they'd both regret.
Kira answered him by wrapping her arms around his neck and claiming his lips with hers.
Rei accepted her answer and replied his approval by deepening the kiss. They went back and forth between nibbling playfully eachother's lower lips and allowed their tongues to roll frenziedly together. Kira whimpered when he pulled away to focus his attention elsewhere. A gasp escaped her lips when he cupped her breasts with his hands and began to nibble and suck at her already hard nipples. Before now all thoughts of sexual contact brought Kira to thoughts of her stepfather, but this with Rei was nothing like it. Rei was much more giving, caring and moved slowly and was gentle. She was loving all of it and her body knew exactly how to react to each and every of his touches and caresses. After moments of tantalizing kissing, nibbling and touching they were both naked and clothes laid where ever they were thrown.
Kira's heart rate doubled and her blood began to race through her veins when she felt Rei's manhood touch her opening. Hips began to grind against one anothers, slow and tender thrusts became fast pumping. Moans rang out through the night, making both Rei and Kira grateful that they had no neighbors.
After his last thrust he let out a long moan and collapsed next to Kira. They laid down next to each other panting and trying desperately to catch their breath.
Kira turned to look at him. Even sweaty, flushed, and with hair plastered to his forehead Rei still looked beautiful. In this moment she loved him more than ever.
"Now I'm exhausted," he joked, giving her the boyish grin that made girls of all ages swoon.
Kira smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you Rei, I wish you were my first," she told him softly as she rested her head in the crook of her neck and draped her arm around his waist.
Rei smiled sadly and ran a hand through her hair. "I wish you were mine too," he answered truthfully as he held her tighter.
Authors Notes: ::blushes:: Well I don't know if it classifies as a lemon, considering that nothing more than a R is allowed. Kinda short, yeah I know and I'm sorry. I hope that this was satisfactory, you know what to do please review.
Response to Reviews:
Kitsunia- Yay! ::dances along with you:: I'm so glad you reviewed. Fanfiction.net was having some problems so I wasn't notified and though that everyone hated my last chapter. I was a bit depressed for a while. Here's my next update, don't worry I wouldn't land a plane just like this, there's more turbulence on the way.
Optical Illusions- ::Sobs:: Yeah... I missed you... but I'm okay now that you've reviewed this chapter. Of course Kira's dad will come after her, but not for another few chapters. Sound effects huh... ::Thinks about adding side effects to my fanfic:: j/k. Thanks for the lengthy review.
man- I really appreciate your reviews, they mean bunches to me. Remember when Rei's dad was convincing him to go to school he promised Rei that he could leave after he was eighteen, which I said would be in five months. Then in the beginning of the last chapter I said that five months went already? Good question though, I'm sure that many other people didn't get that either. Maybe I'll redo that chapter with a scene with Rei moving out when I'm done with this story...
Animefan rikku- ::Bows:: Yay thank you. ::Frowning now:: I'm sorry about the shortness, as I said in your response to the other fic, I'll work on it. Those questions will be answered later on in the fic. What do you mean!? I said that one was finished for now, or until I get the inspiration to create a epilogue or sequel. ::Still frowning::
Legacee- Hmm... perhaps, a good idea for the end of the story or something.
Verauko- The chapter you've been waiting for ::points up:: I really hope that it was good enough. Citrus writing is much harder than I thought it was.
SHArice- Hey there, it's really nice to see the face of a new reviewer around here. Aww, thanks a lot for the comment. Yes yes, Rei's dad's character will be developed much more. He'll play an important role later on in the story. Hmm, I think Akira and Hideaki play a minor role later on in the story, but I doubt I'll have any fluff between them. Thanks again for the great review, I hope you stick around for the later chapters.
MoonMaiden625- Eeek! I can't believe I wrote that! I meant gold, not golf. It's because they put the g next to the f on the keyboard. I'm sorry, but that's what happens when you stay up all night in an effort to update a story before the weekend's over. Thanks for pointing that out though. Perhaps it is a little OOC for Rei to behave like that but nobody's perfect, not even him. I've started the prologue for the second fic idea, but I don't know it's not just right yet. Thanks for the lengthy review.
