Summary: Ling Xiaoyu has returned to school, and tries to return her life back to normal, but a certain overprotective Jin Kazama inadvertently stands in her way.
Ling POV
I love the guy, I mean I really do, and I appreciate all that he has done for me… But he's driving me crazy! If your wondering what' I'm talking about, let me tell you. Its months after my cancer went into remission and Jin's been there all the way… And in a sense it's what I needed, my parents were not sure about me returning to school, but I needed to get back into the routine of everyday life.
The only reason I could come back to school was thanks to Jin, he spoke about how he was planning to move in an apartment nearby the school and how he was looking for a roommate. While most parents would be weary of their daughter moving in with a boy, this was no ordinary boy, and my parents have come to love him. Kind of odd, but I guess he really proved himself to my parents when he showed some much dedication when I was in the hospital.
At first I was excited at the idea. It would be my wonderful excuse to head back to school, and Jin was my best friend. Moving in and everything was just so exciting, I just couldn't wait. But that when it started, Jin began to monitor everything about me. Yes, I mean at first it was nice to know he cared so much and I really appreciated it, but it just got annoying, at times constricting!
He made me sleep at a certain time (damn it 8:30), watched what I ate and where I was going at all times. He wanted to know everything, and it was frightened me. He became intensely upbeat as well and I knew something was wrong. Jin was always trying to take care of me, like he was walking on eggshells. Sure I may sound like a complaining bitch, but I just want to tell him. But know this mean so much to him and I should let him have that.
School began in a week and he was already driving me crazy. I tried hard as I could to get some alone time. Barnes and Nobles became my best friend for those past few days. God, Jin wouldn't even let me have caffeine so my Barnes and Nobles visits were filled with silence, a good book and venti cup of caramel frappuccino. Of course when I tried to sneak home he would give me a lecture about how I have to stay healthy and that he was worried sick about me.
You see I've been keeping up this façade that I enjoy his constant watching, that I would be absolutely lost without him. While the fact I feel he was more handy-cap then I was due to his constant worrying about me. But I had finally lost over dinner last night… and let me tell you the whole story.
Jin had returned home from the Italian take out (faster then I expected, so I grouchy I did not get my intake of caffeine for that day). He came with the usual, some chicken alfredo for him and a penne pesto for me. And while he was annoying, he came home with that damn handsome smug face, most likely for saving some money for being friends with the owner of the restaurant. But he calls me out and I see he's tired. He's must have been busy working out before he went to the restaurant, which to get off a tangent, for a geek, he had an amazing body. He worked out constantly if he wasn't reading, and well… know ladies…
But no way, not this time, Jin was not going to charm me out of this one, it's been 2 week and I was not going to deal with his crap and protectiveness anymore! So I confront him… For the better or worse, I needed to get it off my chest.
Jin: I brought home some take out, you hungry?
Ling: No, I'm okay; I'll be hungry in a few minutes.
Jin: Something the matter today Xiao?
Ling: Um… Well Jin… We need to talk…
Jin: Oh, Xiao, I know it's a girl thing, but the whole toilet seat thing is so hard to remember sometimes!
Ling: No Jin, its something else… Um… This is kind of hard for me, but I, I really appreciate all the stuff you've done for me. But, Jin, sometimes your too overprotective… I know you really care about me, but Jin, you need to back off a little.
Jin looked at me like a confused, but very cute puppy.
Jin: Um, sorry, I don't think I really understand what your talking about.
Ling: Just cut the crap Jin. I'm a grown girl, yes I survived cancer, great, I'm relieved I'm alive today, and I probably should make a lifetime movie about it, but right now, I just want to live my life like I did before.
Jin: I thought you were…
Ling: Jin, if you haven't noticed but you've become practically a mommy dearest! You huddle over me like this shadow, and I know you care, but Jin, it was hard enough to get through all, and I just want to be normal.
And without knowing it I'm in tears…
Jin: I'm sorry Xiao…
Ling: Jin, its been so hard, life is so weird… I thought you would be the one person who would understand that. I don't need constant reminders about it, I know it happened! Jin… I need you to back off…
Jin: Xiao, I know I've gone a little overboard but
Ling: How about a lot?
Jin: But we never speak of it! You know it was hard for me too! You were dying and I couldn't do anything, and it hurt so much! Xiaoyu, if you haven't noticed you are the most important person in my life… and I just can't lose you… I just can't lose you… Did you hear me… I can't lose you!
And he begins to cry… I rush over to him and quietly try to calm him down as I whisper "I 'm still here… I'm not going anywhere… Jin, don't worry…" and he sobbing quells… The next few events that took place, well don't ask me how it happened. I lean in closely as my lips brushes his… and with that he takes take as an invite and begins to kiss her. The first seconds it was soft, but the kiss deepened. His hands grabbed onto my waist to gain better access to my mouth as the kiss intensifies. I don't stop him, I don't want it to…
Seconds later we stand up as the kiss begins desperate, only taking quick seconds to breath in air. His kiss are demanding, and I meet with them I well as I can as he finds something better suited for our situation. My lips are bruised, but it was so amazing. He drops me on the table as my body hits the trays of food, I'm going to need to take a shower after this, but for the moment… I don't care.
He mounts me and I feel the sexual tension and somewhat frustration. It's taking so long to get here. I feel his desire and I react by moving my body against him. As he begins to lower himself to kiss me, the wet alfredo knocks his balance off and he falls off the table with a loud smack. My first reaction is to look down and find Jin.
Ling: Jin, oh my gosh, are you okay?
Jin: Ow….
And something inside of laughs… And I begin to laugh very loudly. With no control, I just can't control this laughter…
Jin: What's so funny?
He asks so jokingly and I don't know why. He stands up slowly and seems me laughing on the table as he smiles himself. He stops for a second to slowly brush my hair… I was nervous, did I really want to continue? But instead of doing anything romantic, he takes the fettuccini in my hair and spreads it all around… Second later he pours the whole entire pan of alfredo on me and I scream in surprise. Of course that meant retaliation as I struck back my pouring the penne pesto all over him. Within that instant our little love feast has turned into a food fight.
The fight went on for, well who knows how long, as we through pasta, sauce, parmesan and any other food we could get our hands on. The fight ended some time later and I just ended up on Jin's shoulder, covered in head to toe in take out Italian. And for some reason… I felt so complete.. I know we will have to deal with the repercussion of almost making love like bunnies on our dinning table, but for now… I just want to enjoy the moment…
Ling: Jin?
Jin: Um?
Ling:… Thanks…
Jin: Your welcome.
Ling: I probably should take a shower…
Jin: Need anyone to join you?
That old joke… But it was different this time he said… Because he might have meant it…
Ling: No, its okay
And I smile at him… and leave him to this thoughts… Little did I know, after going into the bathroom, Jin whispered softly, I miss you already…
Mushy and romantic, but needed to start off the story with a BANG! R AND R… THANKS TO LIL TOMMY GIRL, ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!
