Chapter 9
"I can't believe your making him do this, Toy." Yukito shook his head disapprovingly at his long-time friend, Touya just grinning wide and rubbing his hands together in abject anticipation.
Touya had managed to entice Draco enough to sing AND dance to the song, with no shirt, and bunny ears in exchange for him doing the same. Now Makoto was quick to step in, saying that Draco didn't have to do any of this but her brother continues to tease and taunt him. Of course, Draco Malfoy had his reputation to uphold here and within that reputation was not backing down to any challenge. Also in that reputation was being a pig-headed ass.
"Yes Touya, that's just cruel. I mean, he is Makoto's boyfriend after all." Athena followed, frowning slightly at her boyfriend's immaturity.
Makoto grunted from the love seat she sat on, hurling the pillow she had been clutching to her brother's head.
"He is not my boyfriend, Ni'ele." Makoto insisted forcefully, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting stubbornly.
"Sure, niichan." Sakura laughed in agreement, completely ignoring her sister's words.
"You guys are so mean to your sister." Syaoron spoke up, which only received him a forcing glare from Touya.
"You should be glad I didn't make you go through this, Li."
The clearing of a throat made all the eyes fall onto a shirtless Draco, a pair of pink fuzzy bunny ears sprouting from the pink headband on his head.
Touya and Yukito coughed a little, hands rubbing at their mouths to hide the wide grin that spread shamelessly across their faces. Sakura and Athena snorted, then clamped their mouths shut tight in an attempt not to laugh outright. Even Makoto let out a slight giggle, quickly biting hard at her lower lip to stop the titter.
Draco, who glared determined at Touya, stepped into the room and grabbed the mic out of his waiting hands.
Touya threw his hands around his mouth, hollering,
"GOOD LUCK MAN!"
Draco ignored his remark, snickering and trying his best not to knock his pearly whites out of his mouth.
Deep breath and out came the words, going along quite perfectly with the game. A few moments and Touya leaned suddenly spoke up once more.
"HEY! Dancing was part of the deal."
Draco scowled and took a quick side glare at the older brother's direction, his temper flaring. But it quickly faded as a sudden idea came to mind, one that he definitely knew would piss Touya Kinomoto as much as he had pissed him off.
"…and I do my little turn on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk…" he murmured, turning and sauntering over to Makoto, hips swinging from side to side.
Makoto felt her cheeks burn
Athena shook with laughter and shook her head, grinning wide.
"Man, I really like this kid." She sighed happily, snuggling deeper into Touya's hold.
"Well, I don't!" Touya snapped, stream practically fuming from his ears.
"Oh like Athena hasn't swayed her hips for you, if you know what I mean" Yukito commented with a spark of playfulness in his light eyes, chin propped onto his curled fist.
The two gasped, offended, as they both began to deny it venomously, faces turning a pretty pink color. On the other side of the room, her dear elder brother had missed the fact that Draco had closed the space between he and Makoto and currently was sitting next to her.
"No, Draco." Makoto commanded, pretending not to hear the tremble in her voice.
"…I shake my little tushie on the catwalk…" Draco continued, ignoring her request.
Makoto felt her cheeks heat up, among other places, as Draco purposely ran his fingers along all her sensitive spots.
"Draco, please…" she tried once more, swatting his wandering hand away from her thigh.
Since luck was on Makoto's side, the song had ended and Makoto was first to announce it.
"SONGS OVER!" She leapt from the chair, long legs getting caught on Draco's arm and falling onto a heap on the ground.
Draco laughed somewhat and was quick to her side, helping her back to her feet with one arm wrapped about her waist and the other holding her hand.
Touya, who had managed to catch a glimpse of the bastard's last few hand actions, shot to his feet with a dark glower.
"She's not gonna fall, you can let her go." He commanded, Draco glaring while Makoto pried his hands off of her hips.
"I believe it's your turn, oniichan." Makoto mumbled nervously, tugging off the pink headband and placing it onto a head of brown locks.
Athena giggled, walking up and pinching Touya's cheek.
"Whatta cutie pie!" she squealed with a teasing tone, then making little baby gibberish.
"Coochie coochie coo!" Athena continued unmercifully, poking at Touya's reddened cheeks.
"Ni'ele…" the blushing teen grumbled, face bland and peeked with irritation as his girlfriend ignored his warning, poking and pinching at his cheeks.
Makoto and Draco had slipped out of the room, and recuperated in the hallway bathroom, door carelessly left open.
"If you ever mention this to anyone back at school, spitfire…" Draco cautioned, pulling his plain white shirt over his head.
Makoto laughed slightly and stepped foreword, gently patting down the hairs that had went out of place.
"And if I do?" Makoto questioned challengingly, smirking slightly and now running her fingers through his soft, almost white colored mane.
Draco smirked and decided to show her, dipping foreword and pressing his lips to the sensitive flesh just beneath her ear. Eyes flared wide as teeth sunk into the flesh and began to suck gently.
"S-someone could walk in…" Makoto mumbled helplessly, hands clutching the front of his shirt.
"A simple silencing and locking spell should do us fine…" Draco assured, reaching behind himself and pulling out his wand, lips still pressed against her slender neck.
Just as the Slytherin was going to utter the spell, someone knocked at the door twice.
Makoto jerked away and whirled around, Athena leaning against the door frame with one foot curled about the other.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I had a feeling Draco would like to see Touya sing." Athena murmured, stepping aside as Draco grabbed his blue over shirt and stepped out of the room, no doubt returning to the living room.
Athena watched him leave, smiling slightly with amusement before turning her stare back to Makoto, who currently was splashing some water on her face.
"Getting too hot, ey?" Athena joked laughing, patting her said to be future sister in law on the back.
"Oh shut up, how many times have I seen you and Touya in bed." Makoto grumbled, cringing slightly at the image. It was her brother, after all.
Athena rolled her eyes, hopping onto the sink and propping her feet up.
"Oh stop, it was only a mere…" the dark-haired girl paused, twiddling her thumbs about, glancing up at Makoto then to her lap, then back to Makoto.
"Five times." Makoto finished lazily, leaning against the door.
Athena sighed, ignoring her burning cheeks and ran her slender fingers through her hair.
"But that's beside the point. Have you and Draco…" she trailed off, shaking her eyebrows for hint.
Makoto blinked a few times, not quite getting exactly what Noelle was suggesting. But after Athena shaked her eyebrows just right, she felt her cheeks blush faintly.
"OH!"
"Well?"
Makoto paused, lips pursing as she fidgeted, flustering. That action alone told Athena the truth.
"C'mon, I never told Touya about New Years Eve and how you and Yukito kissed."
Makoto nodded. She was right, she hadn't told. Too much spiked punch that night sent the two longtime friends, nearly brother and sister, kissing and Athena fortunately walking by. Who knows what could have happened if she hadn't.
"Koko…" she pushed, swinging her legs off the ledge of the sink.
Makoto chewed her lower lip, staring at the floor while nodding slightly. Athena laughed, ahrd and loud, jumping off the marble surface and hugging the taller girl.
"It was sort of obvious you and Draco did the nasty." Athena cried, laughing.
"WHAT?"
The two girls looked to the side, where a shirtless, bunny ear bearing Touya stood, eyes and mouth wide open. Something dark and dangerous filled him, muscled arms shaking wildly as his teeth grit.
"That stupid PRICK!" Touya roared vengefully, spinning his heel and running down the hallway.
"TOUYA!" the girls cried in unison, darting after the very heated male.
They reached the living room just in time to see Touya throw himself onto the unexpecting Draco, whaling his fists into the smaller boy.
"What the fuck?" Draco cried between punches, curling his hands into a fist and slamming it into Touya's jaw.
Athena was quick to launch herself at her boyfriend, managing with some unknown way, to pull him off the teen. Teeth were grit and limbs lashing about, while Athena soothed the tall male, murmuring for him to calm.
"NO!" Touya snarled, trying his best to work out of Sakura, Athena, and Syaoron's hold.
Makoto grabbed Draco's wrist and pulled him out of the room and up the stairs, to her room. She slammed the door shut, locking it and pressing herself hard against the shut door, trying to regain her stolen breath.
"What the hell was that about!" Draco snapped angrily, rubbing the soreness out of his arm that had been slammed between the floor and Touya's heavy weight.
Makoto sighed softly, eyes soft with sympathy as she neared him.
"I'm so sorry, my brother heard about how you and I…" Makoto paused, trying to find the right words.
"Had sex?" Draco finished blandly, glaring at his elbow.
Makoto nodded silently, taking his arm and pulling him to sit on the bed. She took the space next to him, gently pressing her fingers against his bone, to see if it was broken.
Luckily, no permanent damage was done but Makoto continued to work her fingers into the flesh. It was pleasant and peaceful up until Athena's cry rang through the air and Touya's deadly shouts filled the air.
"Oh shit! Let's go!" Makoto whispered frantically, pulling him by the hand out of the room and onto the roof top.
She quickly closed the window shut and crawled further up the roof, where Draco sat. They remained silent, listening to Touya's slamming fist on her door. Makoto bit her thumb with worry, her brother was strong and quite able to break down the door if he tried hard enough.
Unknown to her, she shivered and rubbed her visibly goose-bumped arms, staring down at her shut window. The middle of winter in a sleeveless white shirt and thin, plaid green pajama bottoms, you'd probably be shivering too. Two arms snaked around her frame, drawing her full flush against his chest and wrapping his pale arms protectively about her tiny form. She peered up at him, smiling slightly as she felt her flesh warm. He stared down at her, smiling, a rarity indeed.
They continued to remain silent for a few more minutes and still for the most part, blinking somewhat as Touya's furious screams stilled.
"Draco?" she questioned, voice slightly muffled into his throat.
"Hmm?" he murmured.
"How come you came?" Makoto mumbled, blinking a few times as she ducked her head lower.
"I mean, I'm glad you visisted me and all but uhm why? You despise the human world so why would you come all this way? It couldn't have possible just been me—"
"Why not?" his deep voice rumbling slightly out of his chest and Makoto shivered a little.
Makoto tilted her head back to look at him, face shocked.
"W-well…we're just friends with benefits." She said softly, Draco catching sight of the slightly pained look in her large green eyes. It faded as quickly as it came, replaced with sudden ire.
"Unless you came for that, which is totally-"
"Hush." He commanded, halting her in mid-sentence. The usually stubborn and hard-headed girl fell silent obediently, her stare dropping to her lap once more.
When he didn't say or even whisper anything after that, Makoto looked up ocne more, face hardening.
"Is that why you came? Well, excuse you Draco Malfoy! Do I have to remind you that I am not a sex slave but—"
"I'm not just here for a romp in the sack! I came because I love you, so stop!" Draco spat irritably, growling slightly with frustration. In his irritation and embarrassment, Draco forgot to care about the consequences of his words.
Makoto glanced up at his sudden confession, brows furrowed with confusion. All at once, her heart leapt with joy and constricted with doubt.
This was Draco Malfoy we were talking about. He'd usually spit anything out if he could get what he wanted, hell he'd probably sell his own mother for a bowl of food if he was hungry enough.
But then again…Makoto, and only Makoto, knew his other side. The one that blushed, and laughed, and smiled, and whined when someone took the last cheese danish, and actually aww'd at Disney films. The one who happened to always be there to catch her, the one who had snuck all the way downstairs, past Snape, to get the chocolate cupcake she had been yearning for. Draco Malfoy was a big teddy bear at heart and only for Makoto.
All those memories and thoughts of him…oh it made her shake with happiness. She quickly leapt into his arms, letting out a loud squeal of joy. Draco quickly grabbed, falling backwards onto the grey tiles. Her arms had locked around his neck, showering his handsome face with kisses, while she shook and squeezed his neck fiercely.
Draco laughed and settled himself there, allowing the onslaught of smooches across his face. The two were too happy to hear her door suddenly burst open as well as her window sliding up.
"OH HELL NO!"
Makoto quickly pulled away and whipped her head about to see Touya crawling onto the roof top.
"Oh shit." Was all she uttered before Draco grabbed her by the wrist and lead her towards the other half of the roof.
"TOUYA!"
All three of them stopped to see Athena's head poking out, glaring chastising at her betrothed.
"But this bastard has been humping—"
"NO! You leave them alone or we won't be doing any humpinh for quite sometime. Now, you get your ass back inside and leave them alone!" she snarled, brown eyes flaring.
Now, anyone who knew Noelle, Athena to most, knew she was a good person. Upbeat, chipper disposition and always willing to lend a hand ot anyone and everyone. She loved to talk and would gladly drive at 2:30 A.M. in the morning to bring you soup. That's just the type of person she was.
But when you pissed her off, shit you better just kill yourself cause you're gone. When she warns you, she means it and no one had the audacity to challenge it.
Touya, flustered a bit, taking one more lethal glare towards his younger sister and the boy who held her in his arms before crawling back into the house. Squabbling voices were heard but quickly faded, the sound of a door following it.
The two continued to stare at the space Athena and Touya had once been in before slowly glancing up at each other.
"I like that Athena girl." Draco suddenly informed, smiling slightly.
Makoto laughed and threw herself back into his arms, him falling back once more and she settling herself onto his chest.
He heaved a sigh of contentment, wrapping his arms around her small back and staring up at the sky. Beautiful it was, twinkling with millions of stars. You could never see this in his world, an occasional star but nothing like this.
"I love you too." Makoto announced suddenly, staring up at him.
And damn, the way her eyes sparkled could put all those starts to shame.
