With the kitchen finally cleaned you were able to make a simple dinner for yourself, not wanting another big mess to clean up. With the sun down and the afternoon gone you were looking to just relax for the rest of the night. Maybe even finish that volume of the Parfait Girls manga that Natsuki had lent to you before playing some games or watching television. As you were putting your dishes away though there was a very unusual interruption for this time at night, a knock on your door. Even during the day it wasn't common for you to have visitors which made you approach the door hesitantly. There was a long list of people you would have guessed were on the other side of the door but towards the bottom was the face that greeted you.
"Surprise." Natsuki said with a confident smile, those beautiful rose colored eyes staring up at you. So shocking was it to find her at your door it left you speechless before she continued on your behalf. "Well, are you going to invite me in or what?" Unsure of what else to do you step aside for her to enter your home for the second time today, taking a second glance outside to see if anyone had come with her. None of the other club members were around though, it was just Natsuki by herself in the same clothing as earlier today. Closing the door behind her you let Natsuki walk into what was already a familiar area for her. "Sorry to ask this but you would happen to have anything to eat?"
Agreeing to her request you went to start putting together a plate for Natsuki like your own dinner tonight. The situation was very strange but Natsuki was behaving like this was the most natural thing in the world. Sitting at your dining table as observed your work in the kitchen. She didn't have her bag with her any longer so you presumed she had at least made it home earlier to drop it off. As for why she'd come back that was the million dollar question, putting it aside and instead serving the second dinner you'd made tonight. "Thank you, I appreciate it." Natsuki said gratefully and began to eat gingerly, as if she were monitoring her own behavior while enjoying the food.
Being well aware of how volatile Natsuki's emotions could be you carefully approached the subject of why she was at your house in the middle of the night. Her attitude didn't change as she came about the answer. "Well I was just in the neighborhood and I thought it might be fun to see you again." You nod in response but realized that couldn't possibly be the case. Natsuki didn't live anywhere close to you and for her to just be walking about in the middle of the night created many more questions. Instead you asked her how she was enjoying dinner and Natsuki nodded happily. "I like it! It's a little plain, but it's good. Some day you should let me cook you a real dinner. I'm pretty handy in the kitchen at more than just baking!" She boasted proudly. "I'd like having a kitchen where I could practice it more too..."
You pressed Natsuki on that question curiously and she dismissed it without another thought. "Oh that's... nothing to worry about. So what were you going to do tonight?" She asked with a pleasant tone. While it wasn't bad to hear her talk to you with such a chipper attitude it was out of place. Previously Natsuki always enjoyed discussing the things she excelled at or criticizing what was around her. You had already seen outside of school this wasn't how she always was, while making the cupcakes she'd been very happy and playful. But this almost seemed forced compared to her previous behavior. Informing her that you had planned on reading some of her manga Natsuki's eyes lit up in delight.
"Oh, are you getting into it now?" She asked eagerly and you let her know you're enjoying it, not wanting to say anything that could bring down her mood. "Great! How about I clean up for you and you can get the manga for us to read?" Natsuki suggested and stood up to take her plate to the kitchen. Going along with her wishes you head to your room where you were keeping the volume she'd lent you. Bringing it back down stairs to find Natsuki already on your couch. "Well don't just stand there all night, let's get started!" Following her request you sit on the couch near her and open up the volume to where you had left off, Natsuki scooting closer so she could read along as well.
There were minutes of silence while you read, louder than any noise today when you had both been baking. In the quiet moments Natsuki's body was leaning into you more on the couch cushions and she began to rest her head on your shoulder. It was comfortable and sweet being this close with her but the thoughts of how you'd gotten into this position never left your mind. You'd pushed half way through the volume before deciding someone had to address the elephant in the room, closing the book and setting it down on your lap. Natsuki didn't even react, she wasn't looking at the manga along with you. Simply staring off into space while resting on your body. When you said her name she suddenly realized you'd stopped reading and pulled her head off your shoulder.
"Oh uh, did you ask something? I guess I was lost in thought." She admitted, looking down at the floor instead of your direction. Deciding now was as good a time as any, you asked Natsuki why she came here. You had thought she had to go home to have dinner with her father like she said? At the question you could see Natsuki's hands ball up into fists. It was the kind of reaction she'd shown before at the club whenever she had great trouble expressing herself. Though she'd never done it so quickly before in front of you. Natsuki was quiet for a while before taking in a deep breath, though her voice still came out shaking.
"Please don't make me go back." She whispered. "Let me stay... I want to stay with you." She pleaded, turning her head away so you wouldn't see the tears coming down her cheeks. You asked if something happened but she shook her head. "I just don't want to go back. It's childish I know... running away from home. But I never had anywhere to run to before, besides the club room and I can't go there when I really need to so if I can just... just please!" Natsuki asked and you relented, letting her know she could stay if she wanted. No more clues had been revealed as to why she was avoiding her home but if nothing else she seemed to be happier here. "Thank you. I won't let anyone see... I won't let anyone see me. I'll sneak out tomorrow morning before anyone can catch me." Whether that was for your sake or hers you couldn't tell but you just agreed to it so she'd have an easier time.
Wiping her tears off with her hand she leaned into you again without any further explanation. Parfait Girls was moved onto the couch cushion next to you, no longer feeling the desire to read manga with such a somber mood in the air. You left an open hand out to Natsuki and she rested her hand into your palm. Her skin was soft but her grip was strong, as if she was holding onto you for dear life. This time Natsuki herself broke the silence. "Do you still have that poem I gave you?" Nodding your head you let her know it was in your room in your desk drawer, safely tucked away. "That's good... I'm happy. I'm sorry... I'm sorry, the poem you gave me... it got ripped up."
You try to ask further as to why that would have happened but Natsuki was quick to speak before you. "You know my dad, he would hate knowing I'm here with you right now." She admitted and pulled her legs up on the couch, taking her hand back to hug her knees. "I didn't tell him I was over here today. I told him I was at a friend's house for the club but I didn't say I was with a guy. That would have caused more problems than I need." She shook her head. "It's like any time he even thinks... even suspects I'm doing something wrong or unladylike or just... I can't even live my own life! Not in front of him or anyone outside the club or even... or even-" Natsuki took several deep breaths, covering her eyes with one hand and letting her legs drop back down. "No one takes the real me seriously, is all. Or even wants to know who that is. I hate it."
You were at a loss for words with her confession, wanting to comfort her but also worried about what to say. She was so vulnerable right now, not unlike the delicate pastries she was known for making. All previous behavior flaunting off her strength and and confidence was washed away as she confessed her true feelings. Without anything else to offer you let Natsuki know she could sleep her tonight if she wanted and the girl nodded. "Thank you for that. It means a lot. To me." Assuring her it was no problem at all you stand up and offer to lead Natsuki to the bedroom. Her cheeks blush as pink as her hair at the offer. "Y-you're taking me to your room!?" Explaining that it was better if she took the bed while you got the couch Natsuki's expression changes from concern to embarrassment realizing her mistake. "Oh... that was all you meant." Going along with you, Natsuki ventured up farther into the house.
"I never actually got to see it last time I was here." She said out loud to herself, taking in your bedroom and everything in it. "Wow it's such a guy's room. Like cookie cutter from what I would have expected just looking you over." You couldn't tell if that was a compliment or not when it came to Natsuki so you accepted her comment as it was and offered to let her make herself at home. Realizing she didn't have any pajamas you looked around in your closet until you found a large shirt and offered it to her. "You're going to let me use your clothes to sleep in?" She asked curiously, hugging the shirt in her arms. "Say... if it's okay... can I take it home tomorrow? To uh... to wash it for you?" It was a request you didn't expect but let Natsuki know she could take it if she really wanted and Natsuki was quietly pleased with this.
After getting your own sleep attire you let Natsuki know if she needed anything she could text you downstairs and you'd be there to help. Thanking you for all you'd done you let Natsuki have your room to herself and head down stairs, grabbing a blanket and pillow to use on the couch for the night. This wasn't at all how you'd planned to spend your evening but at least you were helping Natsuki when she needed you. There was still a lot going on that she wasn't telling you and it was hard to judge just how serious it was. She clearly had some kind of issues with her father but prying into it was a sore spot for her. Perhaps it was best to let her express those feelings when she was ready. Maybe even to someone else besides you like Monika. You just hoped she didn't make a habit of sneaking out of her house to come to yours.
An hour later you were laying in the dark of the night, living room lit by the dim light of your phone as you were scrolling through things to distract yourself before bed. Normally you'd have used your desktop computer but with Natsuki in your room that wasn't an option. As the night was starting to catch up with you, you got ready to set your phone aside but noticed a text message come in. Checking it you found it was from Natsuki with a simple request. "Can you come upstairs?" There was nothing more to the message. Unsure of what it could be related to you got up and went up back to your room, knocking lightly before entering.
Approaching the bed was easy enough as you knew your own room in the dark, having cleaned it earlier made it even easier to get around. In the dim moon light through the window you could make out the form of Natsuki sitting up in bed and looking at you. Asking what was wrong she was quiet for a moment before pulling the covers away from the bed. "Well... aren't you going to get in?" She asked with a braced tone, a thin confidence behind her words. Such an invitation was unexpected and you didn't know if it was right to answer her question. Still as if following her veiled request you climbed into your bed with her, laying your head on the pillow while Natsuki scooted herself up against your stomach with her back. "About time. I was waiting for you for a while you know."
You asked her why she'd been waiting for you at all and Natsuki seemed annoyed at how dense you were. "Isn't it obvious? You've got a beautiful girl over at your house and you don't even want to sleep in the same bed as her? Isn't this, like, every guy's dream or something?" No disputes against that statement being true but you let her know that you didn't want to bother her if she just wanted to rest for the night. Natsuki was quiet at this statement but let out a sigh. "I forget that you're always trying to be nice to me..." She confessed but didn't move away from you. Instead seeming more comfortable having you in bed with her now. Your arm moved over her side and around her stomach, Natsuki taking in a nervous breath. "It's warmer than I thought."
Her hands move over your own and gripped it in her fingers. Rubbing your knuckles between her fingers and thumbs. "I usually have someone... something I mean! I usually have something in bed with me. To hug onto." She confessed, pulling your arm up onto her chest and hugging it against herself. "Pillows weren't cutting, I needed more if I was going to get any rest. So, y'know... thanks for coming up here." Natsuki said, fumbling with her words. Though it sounded like she had planned on you showing up earlier on your own. Was that just how she thought all guys behaved or had she been wanting you to do that? It reminded you of some kind of scene out of a romance anime or manga and maybe that was influencing her ideas on how you'd behave.
With how Natsuki had pulled your hand against her you could feel her breast through the fabric of the shirt you'd given to her. More so than that you could feel her heart beat against your palm. It was in a steady rhythm and there was something warm and comforting about the feeling, her small frame clutched against your chest. It may have been hard to sleep this way though as having a pretty girl next to you made you more excited than relaxed. This didn't escape Natsuki either. "I can tell you're really enjoying this, aren't you?" You ask her what she meant and far more bold than you expected Natsuki let her hand reach around her hip and rest over the front of your lap. "There isn't any hiding that when we're this close, you know."
Caught in the act you explained there wasn't any way to avoid it and offered to turn around so it wouldn't bother her anymore, but Natsuki's fingers grip you through your pants to keep you in place. "You don't have to play stupid you know... we're already here." Natsuki said, turning around in bed to face you. "Don't go and pretend like you don't want to." Her words were passionate but resigned as if this was inevitable. As though no other option were available to her. You go to speak and Natsuki leaned in to kiss your lips, that being enough of an invitation for you to forget your words and kiss her in return. Your hand moving over her back to hug her in your embrace while she let out cute moans of pleasure into the kiss. Her arms hugging around your side and pulling you closer to her. Following her lead your body rolled over to be on top of Natsuki and continue to kiss her deeper.
Her legs spread apart, Natsuki pressed down against the bed under you. You asked if she was okay and she nodded in the dark. "I'm not that delicate, you don't have to worry." She tells you, sounding happier now that things were becoming more intimate. Kissing her again you move down her body, lips touching against her neck and ear gently tasting every inch of the little baker's body. As you moved down her chest you gently guided her shirt up and Natsuki complied easily, lifting the fabric away to expose her bare chest. "Don't make any comments about them. Being small or me looking... looking like a child, okay? I'm letting you see them so you better treat them right." Commands were juxtaposed with her insecure commentary but you let Natsuki know just how much you enjoyed them by taking her nipple into your mouth and sucking gently.
Moaning in pleasure Natsuki wiggled under you as her body reacted to your touch. Your hands crawled up her arms and holding her at the wrists, Natsuki's breath increasing under you when she was restrained. Testing her limits you continued to move down her figure, licking at her skin to see if she said anything more. However Natsuki didn't fight against your advances, instead her body went limp under you and her legs spread further as you reached between her thighs. Finding Natsuki hadn't worn her panties to bed at all your hands released her wrists and rested on her thighs. Licking her pussy, Natsuki covered her mouth with her hands, legs clenching at the feeling but never pushing you away. Moans escaping between her fingers into the quiet room as your hands slid over her legs and under her ass to grip her and lift her up towards your mouth.
Legs coming together to wrap around your neck, Natsuki lifted the edge of her shirt up and bit into it. Watching you continue to lick inside of her while she moaned against the gag she'd put in her own mouth. Growing more excited with each advance of sexual exploration while you held her light figure. Licking deeper as her juices dripped down her inner thighs and your chin, making her body shudder at your grip. "Wait... wait wait... no more. No more." Natsuki pleaded and you pulled your mouth away, her legs releasing their death grip around your neck as she laid on the bed to catch her breath. Asking her if everything was alright she reassured you through her pants. "I just... needed to... catch my breath." She said, sitting up and leaning her head against your chest. You hugged her tight and then felt her fingers pull at the waist of your pants.
"That's not fair you know..." Natsuki said as she nuzzled against you. "You can't keep those on if I don't have mine on." Understanding what she was asking you used your hands to pull your pants and underwear away, casting them aside from the bed so you were naked before her. Seeing you remove your clothes Natsuki slowly took the shirt you gave her off her body to let you see her full figure in the moon light. Crawling onto your lap Natsuki kissed your lips and gently lowered herself down onto your cock. "You better pull out before you cum or I'll be really mad at you." Before you could respond Natsuki dropped her hips down and took you inside herself, letting out a cute moan as she did.
Despite her lithe frame her body was able to take you inside with little resistance. Possibly having warmed up from your earlier foreplay to let it slide in. Once her hips fell down onto your lap she leaned against your chest and wrapped her arms around your neck. Placing one hand around her back and another behind you to brace yourself you begin to push up into Natsuki, making her body bounce. She didn't try to hide her moans any longer, instead letting herself breath out loud with each thrust inside of her. Nails lightly digging into your skin she whispered into your ear. "I'm not delicate... you can be rougher with me."
You weren't completely sure what she had meant but tried to follow her request, your hand falling on her ass again and gripping at her skin. Natsuki's head nuzzled into your neck and she pressed herself down into your lap. To try and fulfill her desires further your hand slapped against her ass when she thrust downward. Making Natsuki shudder in delight. "Mmm! That's right. That's right!" She panted as you worked your way into a rhythm with her. Spanking her with each drop of her hips. "That's what I needed... that's what I should get." Mumbling more to herself than you now Natsuki continued to thrust harder onto your lap, driving you closer to the edge. Telling her that you felt yourself get close Natsuki looked up at you with emotional eyes.
"I'll take care of it for you! I can do it. I can do it." Pulling herself up off your lap with a gasp Natsuki sat back from you and began to stroke you briskly, her hand expertly covering every inch. It wasn't long before her delicate touch brought you to climax and you came at her beckoning, hot fluid casting from you onto her hands and lap. Natsuki continued to stroke you through your orgasm, watching as it got on her legs and hands before looking up at you. "Was I a good girl?" She asked, almost begging and you told her she was wonderful, Natsuki nodding in affirmation. "Good... I did good. I... I did..." Natsuki's voice wavered and her eyes began to tear up, leaning into your chest. "What am I doing?"
Confused at her sudden change in emotion you hugged her while Natsuki sobbed against your chest, completely taken aback by her actions. Holding her tightly Natsuki hugged you back with her clean hand and let the tears flow that she'd been holding in. "I'm so stupid. I can't believe I did this... you must think I'm such an idiot." You told her you didn't think that at all but Natsuki was still lost in the turmoil of her thoughts. "It's like... this is what guys want, right? All guys want this so I did it and... and now I've done it. I can't take it back." She sobbed looking up at you. "Why can't I just stop being this way?"
You didn't know what she meant but hugged her again, letting Natsuki know that everything was fine. Hoping that this didn't make her upset to be around you anymore. "It's not your fault, it's mine. You were just going to let me sleep because... because you're so nice to me. I love it when you're nice to me." Stroking her hair you let Natsuki know that you liked being nice to her too. Because you loved her. Those words made her shiver in your grip, as if you'd hit a nerve inside her very being. "You can't just say those things to a girl. Out loud like that. You can't say things unless you mean it..." Assuring her you said it because you did mean it Natsuki was quiet for a while before finding her own words.
"I love you too." She finally admitted in a quiet voice, as if it was the hardest thing in the world to say.
"Don't go bragging it to everyone though, okay? Just because you're lucky enough to be with a girl like me." Natsuki said, finding her footing again after revealing so much of herself tonight. "You don't even understand just how good you got it yet. So you better keep it a secret from everyone. Just the two of us get to know for now." You tell her you hope she's not too embarrassed to have a boyfriend like you and Natsuki giggled a little to herself hearing you say the word "boyfriend" out loud. "Well... since I like you so much I guess I can handle it. But you better make me another poem soon to replace my old one." Letting her know you'd be happy to you share a kiss between each other. Then wiped away the last of her tears for the night.
With nothing else around that was useful you found your pajama pants to help wipe up the mess you and Natsuki had made together. Discarding them aside afterwards you got your underwear back on and Natsuki slipped back into her panties as well, along with your shirt from before. "I sure hope you don't snore because I'm not going to be able to sleep without you next to me tonight." Natsuki said, slipping under the covers again and inviting you to join her. Cuddling back into the position you'd been in before Natsuki's hand reached up and searched around for a while, eventually finding her phone so she could set the alarm. "Ugh, I hate getting up early." Tossing it aside she settled against you, being rewarded with a kiss on the back of the head.
It had been an odd night of hectic emotions and passion, one that was as unpredictable as the girl herself you shared it with. However you both went to bed that night ready to embrace what would come next, knowing you had each other's support. It was as she said, despite her delicate appearance Natsuki could handle things when they were rough. But that didn't mean she couldn't take support now and again. Support you were ready to give her with all your heart.
