...
It was now late afternoon in Academy City as the sun was just beginning to set in the sky as Mikoto Misaka and her three close friends sat out in the park all enjoying a drink together.
The day had passed by quite slowly as not only was there no school for any of the girls today but there also wasn't any Judgement work for Uiharu and Kuroko to finish off, they actually only just closed a case a few days ago, and everything was relatively peaceful in the City for now.
The group of four had been shopping earlier on that day, picking up a few things that they all needed, and generally just hanging out together happily, and now as they all sat together outside on the park benches, sipping at their cold drinks and talking to each other, and all enjoying the relaxing day they had been having so far.
While the four girls had all be talking and laughing together, one of them had noticed something about the eldest one in their group. It wasn't something big or anything, it just seemed to stand out a little, as the girl who had caught sight of the certain thing that made the eldest girl's appearance look a little off, didn't mean to stare or anything, but she couldn't help glancing back to the older girl as she could feel like she could see it more clearly every time she looked.
"Hey Misaka?" Saten called to the Railgun as she stopped talking to her classmate sitting beside her, and caught the older girl's attention.
"Yeah, what's up Saten?" the Railgun asked as she looked back to Saten with a smile, cutting her and her roommate's conversation short and turned her attention towards the dark haired girl.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I just need to ask this,"
"What is it?" Mikoto asked looking a little uneasy now, as she wondered what the younger girl was going to ask her.
"What happened to your neck?" Saten asked as she pointed to the older girl's neck while the other two girls looked to where she was pointing to see what she meant.
Suddenly there the other two saw what Saten had seen, as they realized that the older girl had a small, but quite noticeable bruise on the right side of her neck.
"She's right Sissy, there's a bruise there. Did you get hurt or something?" Kuroko asked as they all wondered how the older girl had gotten a bruise like that in such a strange spot.
"Wait you guys can see it?" Mikoto asked, now looking worried as she covered the bruise with her hand.
The three girls just nodded back to her while she sighed slightly, "Damn it, I thought my collar would cover it up fine,"
"How did you get a bruise like that Misaka?" Uiharu asked.
"Was it a bug bite maybe?" Kuroko asked.
"Yeah something like that I guess," Mikoto stated nervously, before she stood up from her seat, while the other three girls looked to her, "Err…I think I left something back at the dorm, I have to go, I'll see you two tomorrow right?" she asked as she looked to Saten and Uiharu nervously.
"Umm…yeah sure," Saten said, while Uiharu just nodded to the older girl, the two wondering why the Railgun had suddenly started acting weird when they had asked her about that bruise.
"I'll see you back at the dorms Kuroko," Mikoto said to her roommate, before she moved to leave the bench, but was stopped when she heard Kuroko say something to her.
"But wait Sissy, you haven't finished your drink yet,"
"Just throw it away for me, I don't want the rest," Mikoto stated with a smile, before she walked away from the bench, but turned back when she thought of something, "But don't you dare drink any of it," she warned her roommate with stern stare.
Kuroko just nodded slowly, before she waved to the older girl, "Bye Sissy," she said as her and the other two watched the elder girl turn and leave as she went running off back to the dorms of Tokiwadai middle school.
"What was that all about?" Saten asked as she looked back to the other two girls once the Railgun had gone out of sight.
"Why did Misaka act so weird and shifty when talking about that bruise on her neck?" Uiharu asked.
"Probably because she didn't realise anyone could see it, I'll admit it is a weird place for a bruise to show up, I wonder how she got it," Kuroko thought out loud, as she rested her elbow on the bench table and looked to the half full drink the older girl had left there, wondering if she should just take one little sip from it, after all it wasn't like the Railgun would find out about it.
"Yeah but she seemed awfully embarrassed when she was talking about it, plus I'm sure I saw her blushing a little there," Saten stated as she smiled while thinking for a minute, as to what could be the reason for the older girl acting so nervous.
"And?" Kuroko asked, looking to Saten with a bored expression on her face.
"Well she was acting nervous and uneasy when we asked her about it, she was blushing a little, and plus she just ran off suddenly, so she obviously doesn't want to talk about it, not only that but she also seemed surprised when she realized that we could clearly see the bruise she has and she did say she had tried to cover it up, so it must mean that she didn't want other people seeing it, and she wanted to keep it hidden" Saten explained.
"Okay, so what are you getting at exactly?" Kuroko asked, her and Uiharu not really understanding where the other girl was meant to be going with this.
"Don't you two get it? While it's true that it could be a little bug bite and there's nothing to worry about, but what if it's something else?" Saten tried to make the other two girls catch onto what she was hinting at.
"Something else, like what Saten?" Uiharu asked, obviously still a bit confused by what Saten was trying to get at, as was Kuroko.
"Like a 'Love bite'," Saten smirked as she lowered her voice a little.
"A…a…L-L-'Love bite'?" Uiharu stuttered as she blushed deeply at hearing such a word used so causally, "You mean one of those things that girls sometimes end up with after spending the night round at their boyfriend's house?"
"That's exactly right Uiharu," Saten nodded with a smile to her classmate.
"So you really think that that bruise on Sissy's neck could be a…a 'hickey'?" Kuroko asked, now seeming to be looking awfully worried all of a sudden.
"Well it definitely looks like one, don't you think so too Uiharu?"
"How would I know?" Uiharu asked raising her voice a little as she glared to Saten a little.
"What do you think Shirai, did Misaka go out somewhere last night?" Saten asked as the two looked back to the other girl who was sitting across the table from them.
"No she was with me all night, I remember her going to bed the same time as me and then waking up soon after me in the morning, I even remember hearing her wake up at one point to use the bathroom," Kuroko explained as she was certain that her roommate had not left their dorm last night.
"Are you sure she didn't sneak away in the night while you were sleeping? Her getting up to go to the bathroom could have been her coming back from her lover's place," Saten suggested.
Kuroko went silent for a moment as she thought and saw how that actually could be true, while her eyes widened slightly.
"Or maybe it wasn't last night, but in fact yesterday, did you notice that bruise on her before today?" Saten asked as she thought of another possibility for the bruise on Mikoto's neck.
"I don't think so, but she was in school in the morning, and was with me and you two after that, so she couldn't have gotten it yesterday," Kuroko explained as her voice now had a panicking tone to it, "But what if she did sneak away in the night, and I just didn't hear her until she came back? What if some guy left that bruise on her beautiful neck?"
"Wow calm down Shirai, I was only messing around," Saten said as she tried to calm the other girl's suspicions about if her roommate's bruise could be something more.
"But what if you're right Saten? What if some evil man marked my Sissy, leaving that bruise on her to let the whole world know that she belonged to him and no one else? Or what if he forced her into it, and she was too scared to fight back? Maybe that's why she didn't say anything about it till now," Kuroko thought up countless ideas in her head of how her dear 'Sissy' could have gotten that bruise.
"Relax Shirai-san I'm sure Misaka just didn't feel comfortable talking about it to us," Uiharu explained, also now trying to calm the Teleporter down a little.
"Yeah besides Misaka is a high-ranking level 5, I highly doubt she'd ever let some guy force themselves on her like that," Saten added, while Uiharu just nodded in agreement.
"Well why else would she feel uncomfortable when talking to us about it, unless it's something that she feels she has to hide, or feel ashamed about?" Kuroko asked her voice raised in a panicked tone as she stood up from her seat, before her eyes widened and she realized something.
"She could be with him right now, I have to find her. I WON'T LET MY SISSY BE TAKEN AWAY FROM ME!" Kuroko yelled as she quickly started to run to go and look for her roommate, the thought of her in someone else's arms disgusting her.
Saten and Uiharu watched her go, before looking at each other, now being left alone on the park benches.
"Why did you do that Saten, you knew it would only set her off?" Uiharu asked as she glared to her classmate.
"Yeah, my bad I guess," Saten chuckled nervously as she smiled to her classmate and scratched the back of her neck, while Uiharu just glared to her still.
….
Mikoto sighed heavily as she was now standing in front of the mirror in her and Kuroko's bathroom, as she tilted her head to the side a little and looked to the bruise that she could now clearly see on the right side of her neck.
'Damn it, it didn't show up as much this morning, so I thought it wouldn't be that noticeable, but now I can see how Saten and the others could spot it easily,' the Railgun thought as she traced her fingers over the bruise and flinched as slight pain could be felt when she touched the wounded area.
"Maybe I should just put a plaster over it for now, after all it is in a weird spot, and I don't want anyone else asking questions about how I got it," she thought out loud, before she heard the sound off a door opening and closing, guessing that it was probably just her roommate.
Mikoto shrugged as she heard the unmistakeable voice of her roommate call out to her, before she left the bathroom and went back into her and Kuroko's dorm,
"Hey Kuroko, listen sorry I-
"Oh thank goodness you're here!" Kuroko cut her roommate off as she ran up to the older girl and embraced her tightly, while Mikoto looked to the younger girl a little surprised.
"Why wouldn't I be here, I said I was going back to the dorm," Mikoto stated as she tried to get out of Kuroko's tight hug.
"Yes I know, but I thought that was just an excuse for you to get away from us and not have to talk about that bruise you have on your neck," Kuroko explained as she pulled away from the older girl a little, but still didn't let go of her.
"Well in truth that is kind of what I did, I guess but-
"So it's true then, you really did get that bruise from someone and it's not just a bug bite?" Kuroko asked, cutting off the Railgun again and holding onto her tighter.
"Okay no it's not a bug bite, but I don't see why you're so worried over it," Mikoto looked confused now as she really didn't understand what had gotten Kuroko so worked up about the mark she had on her neck.
"So what is it then, who gave it to you, was it a man, what's his name-?
"Calm down Kuroko, it wasn't a guy who did it," Mikoto stated as she was a little scared of the panicking Teleporter now as she stopped her from asking anymore questions.
"I knew it! Wait…it wasn't a man?" Kuroko asked as her panicked tone slowly faded and she looked a little puzzled, while she looked to the older girl, still holding onto her tightly.
Mikoto just shook her head as she smiled to Kuroko slightly, hoping that she would calm down now that she knew it wasn't a guy who had given her that mark,
"Far from it actually,"
"Well if it wasn't a man, then who was it?" Kuroko asked as she finally let go of the older girl and looked to her for an explanation.
Mikoto sighed slightly as she grabbed hold of Kuroko's hand and led her to sit down on her bed, as they both were now sitting on the older girl's bed, while Mikoto took a deep breath and Kuroko just looked to her with a wondering expression.
"Listen Kuroko, the thing is last night, somewhere during your sleep or something I don't know, you must have crawled into my bed at some point. I didn't realise you were there until I felt you kiss my neck lightly, however when I tried to wake you up, you just bit down on my neck, and it was quite hard as well. I felt too tired to shock you, plus I didn't want the other girls hearing us fighting and calling for the Head resident, so I just waited until you stopped biting me, before I picked you up and put you back into your own bed, you are really light by the way. And then once I noticed that you didn't wake up I went to use bathroom for a minute, before coming back out and going back to bed," Mikoto explained exactly what had happened last night, while Kuroko just sat there listening carefully to the older girl.
"So…so what you're saying is, I was the one that gave you that bruise?" Kuroko asked, all too surprised at what she had heard.
"Yep, it's no surprise if you don't remember though, I mean you were half asleep when you did it, and I thought it wouldn't show up that much since it didn't look that bad when I looked at it this morning, but clearly I was wrong it would seem," Mikoto stated with a slight sigh as she touched the mark on her neck, and winched at the slight pain she still felt when touching it.
"So it was me than, and no one else?" Kuroko asked, as she suddenly now seemed relieved that it was just something she had done in her sleep.
"Yeah, although why did you think it was a guy who did it?" Mikoto asked, kinda glad to see that her roommate had gone back to her regular-self now.
"Oh umm…I didn't, it was Saten and Uiharu who thought that you had gotten the mark from some 'boyfriend' or whatever," Kuroko smiled nervously to the older girl.
"How would that work, I don't even have a boyfriend?"
"I know, they're crazy right?" Kuroko chuckled nervously as she shifted her eyes a little, 'Honestly what was I getting myself all worked up about, of course Sissy would never leave me and let some man do that to her,' the young Teleporter thought with a smile.
"Wait, did you actually think they were right? Is that why you got so worried over how I got this bruise?" Mikoto asked, now understanding what had gotten Kuroko so worked up.
"No, no of course not, I would never think like that, I just wanted to ask you and make sure, so that I could set the other two straight when we see them tomorrow," Kuroko lied as she nervously smiled to the older girl again.
"Kuroko," Mikoto raised an eyebrow to the younger girl, knowing when she was lying, and when she was being truthful.
Kuroko nervously shifted her eyes, before she thought of something to change the subject, "Hey I've got an idea, bite me back,"
"DO WHAT NOW?" Mikoto asked with a raised voice as she looked surprised to her roommate, clearly not expecting her to say something like that.
"I caused you an inconvenience by biting your neck and giving you a bruise, so why don't you do the same to me and mark my neck as well?" Kuroko asked with a smile.
"I'd much rather just shock you to get my own back," Mikoto stated as she looked a little annoyed to her roommate now.
"But Sissy you always shock me, and besides if you give me a bruise, I'll be treated the same way you were today and asked all sorts of questions about how I got it,"
"Yeah except you'll like it,"
"Fair point, but if you do it, I promise I won't brag about it to anyone," Kuroko smiled as she folded her arms across her chest, knowing just how to wear the older girl down.
Mikoto shifted her eyes a little as she thought about Kuroko's offer, "You promise to cover it up?"
"I promise," Kuroko nodded already knowing that the older girl had given in now, and was happy to not have to be shocked.
Mikoto thought about the idea for a little bit longer, before she just sighed deeply in defeat, "Okay fine, but just this once,"
Kuroko just nodded, knowing that there was no way the Railgun would do anything like this again in the future, so this was her once chance to have the older girl 'mark' her as her own (although Kuroko already considers herself as Mikoto's ;) ).
Mikoto blushed deeply as she slowly swallowed and leaned closer to Kuroko, moving her shirt collar out of the way as she lightly traced her fingers up the younger girl's neck, Kuroko giggled a little at the tickling feeling, while she tilted her head a little, making it easier for Mikoto to have access to her bare neck.
"You can bite me as hard as you like Sissy, I won't mind," Kuroko winked to Mikoto as the older girl just looked to her with a slight glare, before she rested a hand on Kuroko's shoulder and leaned into her more, causing the Teleporter to shiver slightly when she felt the older girl's breath on her skin.
Kuroko closed her eyes as she sighed slightly and felt the Railgun's lips brush against her neck, before she bit her bottom lip a little at the feeling of Mikoto's teeth biting down hard into her skin.
"Ahh…Sissy…" Kuroko moaned a little as she trembled slightly and could feel her heart racing in her chest, while her roommate bit down harder into her skin. Kuroko flinched at the pain a little, 'She's biting me a lot harder than I first thought she would, it hurts a little but the fact that Sissy is the one that's doing it makes it bearable, plus it's not like I would ever get this chance again, so a little bit of pain is definitely worth it,' she thought with a smile as she panted a little, and gave out a pleasant moan, while Mikoto sucked a little on where she had bitten, being careful enough to not draw any blood.
Mikoto sighed slightly again as she slowly licked the fresh red mark she had now left on Kuroko's neck (which would no doubt turn into a bruise in the morning), nursing the wound before she kissed it lightly and pulled away from the younger girl.
Kuroko smiled as she opened her eyes and looked back to Mikoto, seeing her turned away from her as she was still blushing a deep red, "Sissy, I never knew you could be so…aggressive," she smirked, as she reached a hand upto the older girl's cheek and stroked her lightly.
Mikoto just stood up from her bed as she had her back turned to Kuroko now, and spoke in a low tone, while her cheeks were still stained with a deep red colour, "I'm going for a bath, and don't you dare come in, or I really will shock you until you stop moving," she warned, not looking to her roommate.
"Aww but Sissy," Kuroko whined a little before the Railgun glanced back to her with a warning glare. Kuroko just nodded to the older girl, scared that she would actually follow through with her threat, and just smiled to her, acting all innocent before the older girl went into the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind her, while Kuroko stayed sitting on her roommate's bed, smiling to herself happily, as she traced her fingers over the mark that had been left on the left side of her neck now, closing her eyes as she rested her hand over it, and didn't even care about the pain she felt when touching the wounded area,
'She's got my mark, and now I've got her's,' she thought as she couldn't be more overjoyed about what had just happened, 'We belong to each other now,' she sighed a little as she lay down on her roommate's bed and rolled over on it, resting her head in the bedsheets and taking in the older girl's beautiful scent, "I love you Sissy," she whispered out into the silence of the bedroom, knowing that today was one of the happiest days she had ever had, that she definitely wouldn't forget about anytime soon.
….
The next day the young group of four friends had all met up again at the park benches in the afternoon, having spent the day finishing off homework for school, and now just relaxing and talking together over some cold drinks.
However soon Saten noticed something about Kuroko's neck and was getting quite the bad case of déjà vu, as she looked to it a little more closely, before she couldn't help but ask about it,
"Hey Shirai, what's with the plaster on your neck?" the dark haired girl asked, getting the Teleporter's attention as she stopped talking to her roommate for a moment and looked to Saten, while the other two girls did the same.
"Oh it's nothing really, Sissy just left her mark on me last night," Kuroko smiled as she rested her elbow on the table and traced the plaster on her neck with a finger.
Saten and Uiharu looked a little taken aback as they thought the older girl would never do anything like that to her roommate, as they both looked to Mikoto now, expecting an explanation of some sort from her.
"Kuroko," Mikoto glared to her roommate slightly as she felt like shocking her right at that moment.
"Hey you didn't say anything about me not being allowed to tell anyone who I got this mark from," Kuroko smiled as she looked back to the older girl now and was ready to teleport away if she tried to shock her.
"So it's true Misaka, you really gave her your mark last night?" Saten asked, now seeming to have come back to her senses, while Uiharu was slowly doing the same.
"Yes…but only because she was the one that gave me that bruise by biting my neck the other night," Mikoto explained as she blushed nervously and pulled her collar down a little so that Saten and Uiharu could see the small plaster she had covering her mark that Kuroko had left on her neck.
"Ah so it was Shirai-san who gave you that bruise?" Uiharu asked smiling now, and feeling a little relieved that it wasn't some guy they didn't know about.
Mikoto just nodded before she fixed her collar so the plaster was a hidden again (the plaster isn't completely hidden, but it's harder to see than Kuroko's since Mikoto's mark was more low down on her neck than Kuroko's is so is less noticeable then her's).
"See Saten it wasn't some guy that left it on her," Uiharu smiled to her classmate glad that the bruise on the Railgun's neck had just been part of another one of her roommate's assaults.
"Yeah I guess, but is you two leaving a mark on each other necks' all you did last night, or did you go further?" Saten asked with a smirk to Kuroko, thinking that she would most likely tell if something more happened between the two girls last night.
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you that, it's a secret," Kuroko smiled as she put a finger upto her lips and glanced to the older girl sitting beside her on the bench, while Mikoto just sat there and sighed slightly, still feeling like she should shock some sense into her roommate.
"I can't believe this all started over a simple bruise," the Railgun thought out loud as she rested her head on the table in a fed-up manner, while the other three girls all just smiled to her slightly, before they all fell back into a more regular and less embarrassing conversation.
