CHAPTER 4
- SWEET SWEAT -

Time until movie: 4 hours and 49 minutes

They were both lying down on the bed; Kou's right arm wrapped around Yoshioka as she held her smart phone up in her hands. She had one of her favourite funny love shows on, and tried to get Kou to watch it with her, but the show didn't seem to be winning him over. Kou took her left hand in his so she was now holding her phone with her right, and kissed the back of it.

"You're gonna miss the best part" Yoshioka said, eyes not leaving her phone.

Kou did not reply. His only response was lips travelling further up her left arm, leaving trails of kisses on his way up until he made it to the crook of her neck.

"Seriously, it's getting good!" Yoshioka was still trying to get Kou into the show. She tried her best to look unaffected by his tempting touches, but the loud thumping of her heart betrayed her intentions.

"I'm not interested in the show" he whispered in her ear. His warm breath made her unconsciously bite her bottom lip immediately. She didn't know if she should give into the heat that began clouding her mind, or be disappointed that Kou wasn't the slightest bit entertained by her show.

"All I'm interested really, is you" Kou said in a low voice as he began to climb on top of her. The show was still playing as she dropped her phone on the ground, but that was the last thing on her mind right now.

Yoshioka gripped the front of Kou's shirt with both hands as she turned her face away. Her attempt to stop Kou from kissing her only led him to kiss her neck again. It's not that she didn't want him to kiss her, but she was trying to maintain her last bit of self control.

"Why are you so touchy today? I just showered!" she tried to sound serious, but she was not fooling Kou any more than she was fooling herself.

"So what if you just showered?" Kou chuckled against her collar bone.

"You're gonna make me sweat!"

"Oh?" Kou lifted his head so that he was now directly on top of her, smirking as he looked at her flushed face. "And why would I be making you sweat? "

Shoot. That's when Yoshioka realized that what she just said did not sound as good as it did in her head. Infact, she wasn't even thinking when those words left her mouth.

"Ew, don't go thinking like that! That's not what I meant!" Yoshioka freaked out as she pushed Kou off of her and scrambled off her bed.

Kou laughed as he scratched the back of his head, "I was just joking, chill".

Yoshioka picked up her phone off the ground and realized that the show finished.

"We didn't even get to see the good part" she said frowning as she looked at the blank phone in her hands.

Kou got up from the bed to stand in front of Yoshioka and took her hands in his.

"But isn't this part better?" he asked as he leaned his forehead on hers and looked deeply into her eyes.

Yoshioka was still frowning, but a small smile twitched on the corner of her lips. She tried to hide it by frowning harder, but that only made Kou smile bigger.

"Come on," he said as he began dragging her out of her room with one hand, "didn't you say we should go out somewhere before the movie? Where do you wanna go?"

Yoshioka immediately stopped trying to mask her smile as she caught up to Kou's pace.

"I bet I can beat you in that new Cops and Robbers game in the arcade!" Yoshioka said as they made their way to the front door.

"You suck at that game in real life. What makes you think you can beat me in the arcade version?" Kou smirked. "And don't go betting on it. You still owe me something later on today, remember?"

"I have some faith in me! Don't be so rude" Yoshioka crossed her arms, standing ready to leave as she eyed Kou, who was still putting on his shoes.

"At least you have some faith. I'm surprised you have any faith in yourself to begin with" Kou joked. When they were first reunited after a long parting, Yoshioka had little to no faith in herself, drifting along the flow of the judgemental crowd. Kou's actually very grateful that she's brought out the best in both her and him.

"What are you talking about? I'm blooming with faith. I'm actually challenging you in an arcade game!" she laughed as they walked out the door.

They enjoyed a nice walk filled with comfortable silence, until Kou found himself at the subway.

"Hold on, which arcade are we going to?" he halted his steps as he raised a brow at Yoshioka.

"The one in that area you use to hang out at a lot. It's the only one with that new arcade game, duh. Everyone's been talking about it!" she smiled.

"We're not going there" Kou stated blandly.

"Why not?"

"I told you not to go there, didn't I?"

"Yeah, not alone. But I'm not alone, I'm with you"

"Still"

"Still, what?" now it was Yoshioka's turn to raise a brow at Kou. She was getting both irritated and concerned with Kou's sudden burst of dominance.

"There are people there that I don't trust. And I don't want anybody else's eyes on you except mine" Kou said with a mixture of embarrassment and bold declaration.

Yoshioka let her defensive structure down as she realized what this was all about. She grabbed Kou's hands in hers.

"So what if they stare? I got you with me so they won't do anything. And there's no need to get all jealous. Do you know how many girls look at you? But I know you won't leave me so don't worry about me going anywhere either" Yoshioka smiled as she tip toed to kiss Kou on the lips quickly.

She began to run towards the station entrance, giggling. "Hurry or we'll miss the train!"

Kou admired the way she ran and laughed as he made his way to the entrance himself. She truly was different, and he loved every single bit of her. They made no stops until they entered the train because Yoshioka was paranoid about not having enough time.

"Probably should have spared a second to go to the bathroom" Yoshioka let out a tired laugh as she tried to catch her breath.

"Yeah but a second more and we would've had to wait for the next train," Kou wiped off the single bead of sweat on his temple. He wasn't as tired as Yoshioka. "Just wait 'till we get there. It's not a long ride".

The train's air conditioning did a great help to cool them down and air dry their sweat, and Yoshioka just finally regulated her breathing when their stop came.

"Do you still gotta go to the washroom?" Kou asked as he wrapped his arm around his girlfriend's waist.

"No, I don't think so. I probably sweat all my liquids out so I don't really have to pee anymore" Yoshioka laughed.

"That's disgusting. You sweat out your pee?" Kou furrowed his eyebrows at Yoshioka, trying to act appalled.

Kou began to notice the perverted teenaged boys staring at Yoshioka's short shorts and v-neck blouse. It was an instinct to hold her closer and tighter towards him, and he did so shamelessly. Yoshioka, acting oblivious to the lecherous glares she was receiving, leaned her head on Kou's shoulder.

"I don't know, I kind of like jealous Kou" she smiled.

"I don't know why you would say that" Kou replied uneasy.

"You get kind of more possessive in public"

"And you like that?" Kou asked both confused shocked by Yoshioka's strange likes.

"I don't know," she's chuckled, "Maybe"

Kou was never a fan of public display of affection, but he was feeling an acception today. He grabbed Yoshioka closer and turned her so they were now facing eachother. He shot harsh glares that burned holes at the back of the heads of the group of boys staring at his girl, leaving them walking away from the hot girl and her possessive boyfriend. He then turned back at Yoshioka, and kissed her right then and there, in the middle of the side walk. He didn't care who saw, as long as Yoshioka was there with him, in his arms.

"You kinda smell bad" Kou chuckled as he tucked a loose strand behind her ear.

"Yeah but you love me" Yoshioka laughed, eyes not leaving his.

"I don't know, " Kou smiled as he studied every curve of her face, "Probably"
