Chapter 13
Walking down the busy sidewalk, Satoshi and I tried to pick out ideas of what to do. We had already booked our flight tickets, gotten a cup of coffee, ate breakfast at a small dinner, and were currently musing over our tattoos. I tried to tell him that almost everywhere we went, girls were staring at his. Which was true, mind you. He kept insisiting that it was because his arm was swollen. He told me, however, that if I were to wear something that revealed my tattoo then not only would men be staring at me, but he'd have to save my ass from a rapist again.
"That's not true," I had told him. I fingered the penny in my pocket as he chuckled at me. Why did I treat his damn penny as if it was worth something?
We soon grew bored (in a forgein country, isn't that odd?), and returned to our hotel room. Once we were there, we continued to do nothing. We would talk, and eat some snacks that I had bought from a local grocery shop. After a little while, we decided to pay for watching a movie on the TV set. Satoshi had a miniature fit that we had to actually pay a few dollars just to watch a movie on a hotel TV. I just told him to suck it up.
"What movie do you want to see?" he asked me as he plopped down on the couch with the remote.
I shrugged. "I don't know. And you're in my spot."
He ignored my last statement. "Horror? Comedy? Action?"
"If we watch a horror movie, I will shit my pants," I said truthfully. I then proceeded to sit on him.
"Ow!" Satoshi yelped and tried to push me off of his lap. "What are you-?"
"I told you that you were in my spot!" I said, stealing the remote from him. He protested and tried to grab it back, but I held it out of reach. "Now... let's watch action." I clicked on some random movie cover and turned up the volume.
"Hey!" Satoshi tried once again to get me off of him, but failed. I elbowed his stomach and stretched out, causing him to grunt and give in to my superior strength. He sighed, annoyed and frustrated. When I glanced over my shoulder at him, I could have sworn that I could see a shade of pink across his cheeks. I looked at our position, and realized why he might have been blushing. I mean... not only was I on top of him, but we were practically acting like a dating couple.
Was it just me, or did the temperature increase dramatically?
"Why did you chose this movie?" Satoshi interrupted my thoughts.
"Uhh... I just clicked on a random title," I replied. "Why ask?"
"Because this particular series of movies practically tells us that the man is always going to be better than the women," he explained, taking off his glasses. "That and the woman is only good for sex."
I had to take a minute to swallow back my embarrassment, and pretend that Satoshi wasn't as good-looking as I thought he was without the glasses. "Do you want me to pick a different movie?"
"We already paid for it," he said, relaxing into the cushions. "Might as well watch it. Although, if it becomes too disgustingly sexist for you, we can stop."
I nodded, unable to say anything. Did he NOT know what we looked like?
Nevermind. Don't answer that.
That night, something strange happened. I had almost fallen asleep in Satoshi's arms, and was really quite comfortable, but I was stirred by the feeling of him moving. I didn't want to open my eyes, so I just pretended like I was still asleep.
Satoshi carefully took full weight of my body in one arm and was reaching forward for something. He swore under his breath, seeing as how the object he desired was far away. Finally, he leaned back and sighed. I felt a blanket being drawn over our bodies, and smiled at the thought of Satoshi trying to make sure that I was warm.
Then it kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. Our bodies... with me lying on top of him...
Jesus Christ Almighty.
"H-Hiwatari-kun?" I tried to make it sound like I had just woken up.
"I'm just cold," he mumbled, half asleep himself.
I, on the other hand, was fully awake. "... Umm..." He took a big, deep sigh and draped the blanket over us. After that, I swear to God, he wrapped his arms around my waist. I luckily managed to keep a scream inside my body. "... H-Hiwatari-kun?"
"Mm?"
"Umm..." I didn't really know how to put this. "What are you doing?"
He grumbled. "I told you. Just... getting... warm..."
I felt my breath hitch on my throat. Not only because he was moving closer, but because he was right. I wasn't cold anymore. Damn that boy... I glanced, by craning my neck, at his face and felt my cheeks flare. When I tried to ask him if he was feeling ok, I got a different response without even asking a question. In other words...
Satoshi kissed me.
It was a just a small kiss on my forehead, then my cheek. He smiled softly and murmured something that I couldn't make out. The sad thing was that I couldn't move. I mean... I completely froze as soon as his lips touched my skin. I felt myself shiver, and I looked up at him. He just smiled lazily at me.
"You look so innocent," he mumbled. "It's cute..."
"S-satoshi..." I stammered, shaking for no reason. "W-what... why-?"
As a response, he just murmured nonsense and buried his head into my hair. With his low, monotone, and now muffled, voice, he said, "I like that... when you call me Satoshi..."
I gulped. Feeling him kiss my neck, I shivered again. "U-umm..." All he did was look at me, one eye open due to drowsyness. I almost smiled at his drunken like state. "... Y-you're just doing this because you're not awake."
Satoshi let out a 'hmph' and shook his head against the crook of my neck. His hands, I noticed, were quite large in comparison to mine. I could feel them caressing the tiny, delicate fingers, as if he was taking care of a child.
It was odd, using the word 'caress' to describe how Satoshi was touching me... GOD! Even that doesn't sound right! But... it's just... it's the only way I could put it. I don't mean to make it sound all smutty and sex like, but that's just how it was.
"Do you really think I'm that kind of person?" he asked quietly. "Do you really think that I would use something as valuable as you for my own pleasure?"
Well... when he said it like that... It's just that he would never do something like this if we were both awake, you know? I was about to tell him this, but he let out an indescribable sound that reminded me of a hiccup.
"I would never... ever hurt you, Risa," he whispered into my ear.
Strangely, that was all I needed to close my eyes and doze off. The last thing I remember was my breathing being insync with his...
