Ahhh---chapter three….more drama, more laughs…more reviews worshiping my humor…okay, the last one was wishful thinking, but the first two are pretty dead on in my opinion. So yes, read, review please…

Sober is Reliatave

-------

Eventually, I plan on becoming something important...like a doctor, a lawyer, or a drug lord or something, and when that happens, I think I'll want to settle down. Start a family...have little Katou's running around smacking into eachother...I think it'd be nice.

Problem is, unless I want to feel like Setsuna's sexier other half, the only girl that's interested in me is Ema...and I don't think Jui can give me babies, so I guess I'm boned either way.

It's not easy, especially when I know she cares so much, not to be able to look her in the eye and tell her 'I love you too' and mean it the way she does, but I don't feel that way about her. She's too cute.

Like this morning, and I'm talking two thirty in the a.m., here people, all of a sudden my light comes on. I look over my shoulder, not having been sleeping, because you know, I needed a little 'me' time, and there she was:

In one of my old t-shirts, which was way to big for her. It was so long, I couldn't even see her sleep shorts, if she had any on or not. Her hair was kind of messed up from sleep, and she had no makeup on, so her brown eyes looked all the bigger.

Immediately I lost my erection. Five minutes of work, and carpal-tunnel-syndrome for nothing. I felt like a fucking retarded kitten with erectile dysfunction!

"K-Katou? ....Can I sleep with you?"

How can I say no to that? She's the definition of adorable right there, to turn her down would mean she'd be crushed under Jui by morning, and I don't have enough cash for a funeral right now! "Y--," my voice cracked, dammit, "yeah, of course Em."

Slyly, I put Russel the Love-Muscle back in his cage, without her noticing, and pulled back the covers. I could hear her padding softly over as I was doing this and then her crawl timidly up into my bed, which is the comfiest bed ever, I might add! "There, all better, Em?"

She smiled at me sleepily and nodded, "thank you Katou..."

My head was about to combust from the cuteness at that moment, so on impulse I reached over and brought her closer, and kissed her on the cheek, affectionately. When I let go, she moved back to where she was previously, somewhat, and I noticed her face was completely red.

"N-night..." I heard her mutter before she rolled over to hide her redness. I just smiled and pulled the covers up over her and got out to turn off the lights.

On the way back, I saw her shudder a bit--It was the middle of winter after all, and my room was pretty cool. I mean come on, it is my room afterall! ...Bad joke... I climbed back into my bed, and pulled the covers up around my shoulders, and watched her for a bit...her breathing was just slow enough I could tell she was sleeping, but she continued to shiver every so often.

Now, usually the Katou is a candidate for the good old, fuck-and-run, but at the moment, I guessed a cuddle would be good, and beneficial for the both of us, me being used to sleeping with someone, in a close proximity, and her because it would keep her warm.

So, I crossed what area of mattress separated us, and wrapped my arm around her, keeping her close, and slowly the shivering stopped. I was appeased, and I too fell asleep.

The next morning, when I woke up, I found a small form in my arms...and me having the memory of a stoner, I didn't know weather or not I had gotten some pelt last night, or if I was going to be prosecuted for kidnapping. So, when I actually opened my eyes and saw Ema, I was quite surprised, about how intimate we looked.

I, was lying on my back, and by that time I'd kicked the covers down to my knees, so there I was in my only just boxer-ed glory. Ema clinging to me, in my old T-shirt, which due to the rolling over a few times in the night, was getting close to revealing something I didn't want to see. But the most shocking thing was, her panties. They weren't cute little things like I expected, no these were black with 'if you can read this why don't you just eat me' on them.

Does she have some secret life as a stripper I didn't know about? ...What would her stripper name be? Peaches? Fuck, now I'm going to end up calling her Peaches! Holy shit, what the fuck is wrong with me?

And, as to the tune of some sad joke, just about then, for some strange reason, Jui walked by. That was more of an oddity than my position at the current because he sleeps until three in the afternoon...atleast.

But there, he was, in the doorway, looking on as if I'd committed some horrible sin.

"YUE KATOU! DON'T TELL ME YOU FUCKED EMA!"

Que. the startled wake-up:

"Jui?" I could see her briefly look over the situation, see her near nakedness, quickly pull down her shirt and turn as red as a hooker's lips. She pulled away from me, and sat against the wall looking at me, and Jui in complete shock and embarrassment.

"JESUS, KATOU!"

"Jesus is my other camero, Jui," I said dryly and sat up rubbing my hair trying to feel less hungover.

"KAT--"

"You can stop the yelling too, asshole, I'm right here!" To say the least, I was fucking pissed--I was rather comfortable a moment ago, and he comes in and ruins it! (It seems Ema's a good space heater!)

"But--"

"I didn't fuck Ema, she had a bad dream so I let her come sleep with me, get over it!" I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and looked at him over my eyebrows, "what's your fucking problem anyway?"

I could practically feel Ema flinch every time I spoke, I rarely got upset with her around. I didn't want her to see me like that, but right then, I didn't care!

Jui took one look at me, and then glanced at Ema momentarily and then turned and went back to his room, huffing like a twelve year old girl. Which, he is gay, so it's not that farfetched, but still, it was Jui, and that's not really him....if he can help it.

"Katou...." Ema said timidly from behind me, as if she were frightened I might snap at her next, "what's wrong with Jui?"

I paused a moment, willing myself to calm down, and sighed, "I have no clue, Em..."

Somewhat of a cliffhanger! MY RESOLUTION WAS ACHIEVED! Come on Children! Inspire me to do chapter 4!
