Sapherya ~ Pov
You know it's fucking hot when you watch the plastic melting outside. What does that mean? It means that the chair I have set outside which is a plastic chair is melting, bending, and warping. I stood from my spot on the couch and walked to the kitchen opening the fridge grabbing an ice cold iced green tea with citrus. "Holy fucking shit fuck… did Satan decided to fucking eat chili and shit diarrhea all over Texas? Like fuck!" I mumbled to myself my head moving towards the laughter I heard well, It sounded like half laughing half dying walrus.
"Dude, did you really just compare this heat wave to Satan having a bad shit?" Penelope asked, still chuckling grabbing a Coke for herself.
"Yeah, yeah I did. Why? Because that's exactly what it feels like…like dude, our chair is dead…" I pointed to the unidentifiable thing outside. I also caught something that made me bite my lip. Something I hadn't seen at the moment. Sexy, glistening with sweat and very well built Itachi. He was doing things like Tai-chi or something on the porch. "Hot damn…"
"Dude you're drooling close your mouth." Penelope chuckled darkly, a smirk on her face. I quickly wiped my face and smacked her arm, shooting her a dirty look and looked away. A blush I knew was present on my face. "I just, I can't get those damn thoughts out of my head like come on you can't honestly say that he doesn't look fucking hot?!" I motioned to Itachi and all his gloriousness. I guess he caught sight of my hand motions because he looked up and gave me a smirk and I don't think I've ever felt my heart stop as quickly as it did in that moment. I couldn't believe that he was here in my world with me. I wanted him but I wasn't going to do anything, partially since I hate making the first move and partially because I want more.
"Dude you really need to get laid." Penelope commented before chucking her empty bottle in the trash. I guess my face showed exactly what I was feeling and I heaved a heavy sigh.
"Shut up dude, not going to happen…" I mumbled.
"Why not it's obvious you two are like a total thing and what not. So, why not hook up with him?" She inquired and I scrunched my face with annoyance.
"I don't want to just "hook up" I want something real...something I know isn't going to just crumble away after they've been satisfied."
"Dude that's fucking bullshit you know that right? Itachi isn't going to just dump you after having sex. I'm pretty damn sure no guy would EVER travel to another dimension and search for you...so shut up and get you a piece of it." She said
"Piece of what?" Itachi asked, walking in. I wasn't expecting him to pop up behind me and I squeaked and jumped.
"Holy shit!" I held my hand to my chest attempting to calm the nerves that I was feeling at that exact moment. I wasn't sure how to react other than my face burning brightly from embarrassment. I covered my face and walked away. " Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing. It doesn't concern you to shut up." I began babbling and at that moment the only thing that I could hear through my embarrassment was Penelope laughing her ass off at me. Fuck I'm going to kill that woman. I felt a hand on my shoulder and was instantly turned around being thrown onto my bed, I hadn't even noticed I had made it into my bedroom. A squeak made it out of my mouth.
"Don't ignore me. I know your face being red has something to do with me. What was being talked about?" I felt his hot breath against my neck and it took everything in me to not shudder and moan. Damn, curse this stupid body of mine who hasn't gotten laid in forever.
"I-Itachi," I let out breathlessly. "It was nothing I promised…" I tried to reason with the male on top of me. I was only in my bra and some shorts due to the high temperatures outside and our air conditioner that wasn't really working at the moment. I gave up in that instant that I saw his face inches from mine. Wrapping my hands around his neck I pulled him into me and began kissing him passionately. A sudden surge coursing through my body. All I wanted at that moment was him, my body reacted on its own as his hands rubbed up and down my sides wanting to feel every piece of my skin. I couldn't believe what was happening. I squeaked when I felt him grab my rear, the blush of a thousand red poppies appeared on my face at that moment as the sound left my body.
"You're too damn cute when you make noises like that. It makes it even harder for me to resist taking you right here." He said breathlessly as he placed kisses along my jawline and down my neck. I heard distant moans throughout the room not quite realizing they were coming from me. Things were beginning to get heated until we heard someone knock on the door and a smack followed by a cry of pain.
"OW!" yelled the other male in the house followed by a hiss of anger.
"Deidara you baka! Can't you hear that they are busy! Leave them be!" Penelope yelled from the other side of the door. I sat up smoothing out my hair before walking to the bedroom door swinging it open raising an eyebrow at the two in front of my bedroom door. Deidara on the floor holding his head while Penelope stood over him with a thick book in hand, a scowl across her face.
"Penelope could you please not Maka chop Deidara." I asked with amusement evident in my voice. The said person looked up and rolled her eyes.
" I couldn't help it, he interrupted your little fun time. You were finally about to get laid!" she cried out in annoyance.
"I just wanted food hmm!" The blonde picked himself up from the floor.
"Then get it yourself you don't need to ask Sphere!" Penelope recalled. I rolled my eyes at the two.
"Ok, Ok, I'll make lunch sorry I was slacking off." I walked towards the kitchen. I could feel Itachi glare at the blonde but followed me to the kitchen. I pulled things out for some onigiri and Cucumber sandwiches. Nice and cold for a hot summer day. I was whistling to myself while I sliced up some cucumbers laying out a bunch of slices of bread slabbing on mayo and salt and pepper layering on the cucumbers. I grabbed the rice cooker from the cabinet and measured about two cups of rice placed in about 4 and 1⁄3 cups of water in it, turning it on. "Perfect, now just gotta let that cook and prepare the nori and fillings."
"IS there anything that I can help with?" I heard Itachi speak softly before he wrapped his arms around my waist while I sliced the sandwiches into small triangles. I looked up over my shoulder, his lips meeting mine. I blushed and smiled.
"If you could please get the pitcher of citrus green tea from the fridge that would be amazing plus about 4 glasses. He nodded silently and did what I asked him to do for me. I really do think I am falling deeply and erratically in love with this man. He makes me happy, blush like a little girl, he makes me smile and my heart flutters like the tiny wings of a hummingbird. It almost hurts being away from him. I am just happy knowing he did keep his promise and he came looking for me. I honestly can't wait to go back and see everyone.
"How's things in here?" I saw a female pop her head in the kitchen.
"We are actually almost done. If you could set the table with four plates of Penz that would be a big help!" I said happily a bright smile upon my face as I plate large stacks of the small sandwiches getting them ready to go as the rice cooker dings announcing that it was done. I got a bowl of salted water brine ready and popped open the lid carefully grabbing a handful of rice after dipping my hands in the salted water. Beginning to rotate it, packing it into triangle shapes I carefully maneuvered the hot rice in my small hands making perfect snack size onigiri. Filling some with mayo tuna and others with pickled plums. Finishing them off with strips of toasted nori to complete the onigiri.
Japanese style rice balls(Onigiri) are some of the easiest things to make. All you need is 1-2 cups of cooked rice. About a tablespoon of mirin, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, and a tablespoon of salt. Mix all the ingredients in the rice and then damp your hands in the salted water and gently press the rice together cupping your hand in a 90 degree angle and rotating with each toss. Stuff it with whatever you like. I always like simple and plain onigiri but I'll eat filled ones as well. I finished with the onigiri and plate them as well, washing my hands from the sticky rice residue. Standing I grab the food filled plated and happily take them to the table nearby. " I hope that you guys are hungry!" I smiled at my family who were sitting with me. I placed the full plates down on the table and sat down myself helping everyone get their own food as Itachi poured everyone some tea.
"My god Sphere you never cease to amaze me with your cooking skills!" Penelope laughed, shoving an onigiri in her mouth. I rolled my eyes laughing while eating a sandwich.
" I just figured this would be something good to eat on a hot day like today." I shrugged listening to the small hand painted glass wind chime chime through the air. I closed my eyes, feeling the breeze flow through the house gently. "So peaceful. But honestly…" I paused and smiled at everyone. " I can't wait to go home. I say we prepare everything and leave tomorrow." I suggested. That seemed to grab everyone's attention and Itachi nodded.
" I think that would be a good idea, we've been here for far too long everyone must be worried about us." He stated and I smiled. It has been almost a week since they've been here. Which means that it's been about 5 months in their world. He's right, it's about time we go home.
"Hell yeah! Finally I get to see the world that you've been able to experience while you were gone!" Penelope said excitedly. She was so full of joy that it made me laugh. I could help the rolls of laughter that came from my body.
"Oh shut up Sphere, you've gotten to go on an adventure now it's high time I get to go!" She said a shit eating grin on her face. I rolled my eyes at my best friend who was sitting across from me. I grabbed an onigiri and took a bite enjoying the subtle flavors of seasoned rice and umeboshi*(Pickled plumb*). I Knew there was a firework show going on this evening.
"Penelope did you get everything ready for this evening?" I questioned my friend. She gave me a grin and nodded.
"Hell yes I did!"
"Good, I can't wait!" The boys looked at us before Deidara decided to inquire what it was we were talking about.
"What do you mean tonight? What are you guys going to do, hmm?" He asked an eyebrow raised as his hair was drawn up into a low messy bun and I chuckled. That was a good look for him since half of it was braided on the side. I wondered if Penelope was trying to get him to look like a viking. Either way it looks good. Drawing my attention back to his question earlier I grinned and then smiled sweetly.
"Don't worry about it, you'll find out soon enough. You have to have patients for my dead Deidara-san!" I was encouraged. He and Itachi both gave me a look even Penelope gave me a "WTF" look. I laughed and shook my head sipping my tea enjoying the peacefulness of the household. I was going to make the best of what I have now.
Later that evening when the sun was just about to set I put on some nice jean shorts and a tank top putting my hair up in a bun with a hair stick adorned by a red gem butterfly that dangled almost as if it was flying. "Penz are you ready yet?" I asked as I grabbed the tote bag full of items that we'd need. I walked into the living room and smiled seeing the boys in pure confusion as they were dressed in some jeans and t shirts. Their hair in their signature styles, it was perfect. Penelope walked out with her own jean shorts on and in a light blue tank top. She was grinning and laughing while the boys stood there rather dumb founded.
"Where are we going?" Itachi asked. I gave him a closed eyed smile and giggled.
"You'll see when we get there. Now, let's get going!" I grabbed a small blanket shoving it in the tote bag and began walking out of the house. I grabbed Penelope's hand and we walked to the nearby park and set up the tea and blanket sitting down as the sun finally went down. I handed everyone some dango and tea and grins watching the sky. "Tonight is the annual fireworks show in our little odd town. It's to celebrate family and friends. It's a nice get together thing we do every year. Perhaps we can do something like this when we get home!" I laughed explaining and proposing to them.
"This is amazing hmm!" Of course Deidara would be the one to find this the most exciting. I laughed again and took a bite from my dango and giggled. I was having so much fun. I guess this really is the best way to end my life here. I stopped in mid thought and mumbled to myself.
"Damn that was really dark" I giggled and shook my head. This is just the beginning of a new chapter. The fireworks were beautiful shooting in the sky glowing with bright red, blues, greens, purples and pinks. Itachi's face glowed beautifully and all I could do was sit here and smile. I feel like, for the first time in my life, the happiest I can be. Yes, there may have been rough patches in my life but no matter what I always seem to get myself out of these little ruts. "Thank you for everything." I said mostly to myself since no one could really hear me through the fireworks.
When the show was done there was a little festival that was happening in the center of the park. People gather around game stalls and food vendors. We walked around for a while enjoying everything that was happening. People laughing, kids playing, it truly was relaxing. Maybe someday I will have my own kids. I jumped slightly when I felt a hand intertwined in mine. Smiling softly when I looked over to meet eyes with a smiling Itachi.
When it was about 11pm I noticed that everyone was tired and the festival was wearing down. I giggled softly and called out. "Come on guys let's go home and get a little sleep while we can before the big day tomorrow!" I waved at them enjoying the time I got to spend with them. I am a little afraid of what may happen tomorrow, but I know that no matter what happens tomorrow everything will be okay. Grabbing everything and the grilled squid I had bought myself I munched on it while we walked home, walking hand in hand with Itachi.
"You know, you looked beautiful tonight. Especially among the lights" Itachi whispered in my ear. I blushed like a high school girl and smiled softly.
"Thank you" I giggled and dug out my keys when we got to the apartment door. Unlocking it I opened the door and walked in. Setting all the stuff on the nearby counter I stretched and walked to the bedroom. I grabbed a towel and some night clothes walking to the nearby shower and stripped my shirt and pants off leaving me in my undergarments. I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I jumped shivering a whisper in my ear.
"You really are beautiful my little Nazo." I guess that's sticking as a nickname. Itachi kissed my shoulder and whispered into my ear. "Do you mind if I shower with you? It's not like I haven't seen you naked before." He tried to reason. I felt my face heat up about 50 shades of red and I hid my face in my hands.
"I-I …Uh …S-sure" I said, feeling even more embarrassed by this notion. I bit my lip shivering slightly when I felt him undo my bra sliding the straps off my shoulder as he placed small kisses on my bare shoulders. I turned on the water and bent over to turn the shower part on. I felt his hands go down my sides sending goosebumps down my body till his hands reached the hem of my panties and he slid them off as well. I took a deep breath and whispered something to myself before turning around facing a shirtless Itachi. His body was beautiful just like his soul. I smiled biting my lip embarrassed but I grabbed the hem of his pants and helped him undo them before pulling them down. I just looked into his coal eyes and smiled softly with nothing but love filled in them.
I turned and hopped into the shower letting the hot water run over my body. I groan in pleasure feeling it release and relax my muscles. I heard Itachi get in with me and I turned around to face him when his lips met mine. Under the water it was hot… to say the least. I pulled away gasping. "W-woah…" I said breathlessly. I looked up at him in admiration. I giggled a little and it left him a little confused.
"What's so funny?" He asked me. I couldn't help it and grabbed the shampoo bottle and smiled.
"Nothing, I just need to wash myself off and perhaps since you got in too, you should also wash yourself." I said pouring about two dime sized drops in my hand beginning to scrub my head. I was happy with myself. Leaning back I rinsed my hair in the water half lidded eyes and semi watching him. However I'll admit that I wouldn't let my eyes wander downwards. I bit my lip and shook my head as I put the conditioner in my hair and then washed my body and I guess Itachi wanted to help since I felt him take the scrubby and begin to help me wash my body. I laughed as it tickled a little and then rinsed myself off. I grabbed it from him, rinsing it before adding more soap and began to clean him. I bite my lip, a nervous habit of mine whenever I'm nervous. I then pushed him under the water kissing him deeply helping him rinse the suds off him. I laughed softly and finished my shower before jumping out listening to him rinse off then turned off the water.
I wrapped my towel around my body and began to dry off, then pulling on my pants and tank top. I stretched and put my hair in a low messy bun off my shoulders. I listened to him put his night pants on and I turned around embracing him. I kissed his cheek and yawned before brushing my teeth and rinsed my mouth. I walked to my bed collapsing feeling exhausted from the day. Twice, we almost had sex twice. I blushed brighter when he climbed into the bed with me. I snuggled close to his side and smiled constantly as I relaxed a little more. Closing my eyes I heard him whisper something to me before I fell asleep and I smiled softly drifting off to a nice peaceful slumber.
"I love you more than anything in the world. My beautiful Sapherya." His arms wrapped tighter around my body as we both fell asleep in each other's arms awaiting the days ahead.
