She blushed, the image of his full body was still fresh in her mind. "Can it wait?" She closed her eyes, trying her best to suppress her embarrassment, she wanted to run a marathon if possible.
"No" Naru answered with a hint of amusement but quickly recovered as the matter at hand was serious."your abilities are getting out of control"
She blinked "huh? Haven't we settled that already? Lin already gave me advice and scowled me when was needed. In fact I feel much better than before" she met his eyes with confusion
"That is while you're conscious" he gave her a hand size video camera. In it she could see herself levitating.
"No way" she gasped, hands trembling slightly."why didn't you tell me before?"
"I preferred to arrange some measurements in order to address this matter properly"
"Like what?" She asked somehow already knowing what was coming
"Your living arrangements, from now on, you're to live with me"
"What? No. I'm sorry but there's gotta be another way. I'm not moving in with my boss" she growled "I can move in with Ayako if there's a need to be supervised"
He raised a perfect eyebrow. "You dislike my presence?" The denial had already been thought of, so Naru was less than surprised.
"No, but you're my boss and I'm only an assistant, It is improper even in my eyes" she huffed and crossed her arms to make a point.
Well he expected resistance but it was really hard not to laugh at her. "That can be arranged"
"Yeah right, please enlighten me. Oh your majesty!" She bowed
He smirked, pinning her slightly against the wall. In a kabe-Don action. She flinched at the high sound his palm made against the wall. "We just need to become a couple" he whispered on her ear.
She blushed from head to toe. "What? N-Naru why are you going so far?" She tried to push him away a bit.
"Isn't it obvious? I have taken an interest in you" he grabbed her wrist and pulled up her chin up. Making her eyes meet his.
Her eyes narrowed and a vein popped behind her head. "You mean my abilities don't you?"
He blinked, "I can't deny that"
"JERK!" She made to leave, but she was unable to push him away. Tears already threatening to fall.
"Mai" the anger in his usually composed voice stopped her, she turned to meet his eyes with a glare on her own. "I can't deny that but I do have a physical and emotional attraction to you. Admitting it out loud however is..."
She blinked her anger away, "is...?" She asked him to continue
"Embarrassing" a hint of a blush could be detected by the closed proximity they had and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Naru sighed already expecting this. What he didn't expect was her lips on his a second later. It appeared she hadn't thought about it either because when she opened her eyes she freaked out.
"I.. uh.. um. Nights!" She successfully escaped him. He watched her leave, still stunned at her boldness. After a moment he smirked, it was a pleasant surprise indeed.
...
Everything was packed and ready to go, turning around, the team said their usual comments prior leaving and a few hugs from Monk and Ayako and Mai was back on the van. It took nearly half the day to arrive and unload the van but when all was done. Mai was getting to leave.
"See you tomorrow Lin, Naru. I'm off!"
"Mai" she halted on her actions and turned around to face her boss. "Have you think about it?"
"Think about what?"
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "about us, Mai"
She covered her face, she had forgotten. "...no" she whispered
Naru walked to get his jacket "come, I believe I need to explain to your burned down brain the pros of me being your partner in life. Taking in matter the obvious as well"
"Narcissist jerk! " She growled following him out "I know it with out you telling me! But..." She slowed down when reaching the last step from the stairs "you can do much better"
He turned around and met her eyes with a cold expression. "It is up to me to decide who is suitable for me. You have no right in that area"
She fliched but didn't met his gaze. He continued on "are you hiding something from me Taniyama-san? Are you really sure it was not Gene you loved?"
Her anger boiled instantly to the point of making her tremble. "You dare question that again?" Her voice raised higher "i believed it was him but I was wrong! It was you! Always you! But I don't wish it to be you!"
He blinked, she continued this time grabbing his jacket with force. "You're driving me nuts! You're kind and I love that but you make me so mad that I believe this will never work" she began to calm down but tears dropped from her eyes "I'm afraid... Afraid that you say it was a mistake. Afraid that you will leave me once you realize that" she left his jacket after a final squeeze.
"Do you think I'm that stupid? I have already reviewed every consequences that may result from this decision" he glared at her but even like that she didn't raise her face. His eye brow twitched.
"Look at me, I'm not lying" he held her chin up. She closed her eyes as hard as she could, her tears escaping her eyelashes.
"I am scared to believe you" she grabbed his jacket again.
"A reasonable fear but I.." he gave her a small kiss "don't intend for that to stop me" this time he held the kiss longer and Mai soon melted up to respond.
He felt the wavelengths increase in static, he began to press her against his body, it stopped abruptly when cold rain began to pour on them.
She giggled at his obviously disapproval grunt. She took his hand and lead the way to her apartment, he raised an eyebrow and smirked at how fast she had recovered.
"Come we just need to go up, will you help me pack up?"
"You do realize you're accepting to move in with your boss?"
"Correction, I am moving in with my boyfriend, who happens to be my boss" she took her tongue out.
He let a small smile grace his lips but it soon turned on to a smirk when he saw her blushing. They continue to climb up the outdoor stairs that went up towards the roof of the apartment, rain completely showering them.
"Why are we climbing this stairs? I rather prefer my clothes to be dry and use the inside stairs"
"Well for your information, the other stairs don't reach my place, I managed a deal with the owner to let me set up my home at the top of the apartments"
He raised his eyebrows, before he could ask, she continued on.
"It is technically the roof but with materials at hand, skills and countless days of work. I managed to make my own heaven" she opened the door with her keys and let Naru in.
He blinked. Although the walls were made from wood and the space resembled a right triangle from the start till te end, it was really well made. The roof was higher than Lin by 5 heads and her bed was below a huge window that had a curtain covering up the view. In front of that bed, few meters away were the 90° wall was. Was a small model of a city, from trains to mountains, to cars and buildings were perfectly represented.
He quickly passed by the TV and couches and went to examine it closely. She blushed and went on to the end where the kitchen was.
"I will make tea, you can use this and change on the bathroom. They were my father's" she motioned to a closed door on the left side of the kitchen.
He stared at her.
"Wh-what? You can take a bath if you wish but I only have strawberry shampoo"
He sighed and did as was told. Inside, the bathroom was functional it didn't look it's best but for Mai it seems it was worth it.
He stepped in and took a bath, shivering with the cold water. He quickly turned it off and went out to find her already packing. She motioned to the tea and stepped inside to take a bath. He let his eyes run around. There were a few plants most of them small cactuses, he then turned on towards the TV which was smaller than his computer in the office.
He wondered how could she do all this, he turned to her mini city. Is this perhaps her chosen subject? Would she study that on her University?
"You can use the kotatsu to warm yourself up" Mai commented quickly getting her own cup of tea and finishing up her boxes.
"You made this? Why?"
She blushed as he pointed it out. "Um it was my father's. I just finished it up for him" she began to dry her hair with a towel "but it later came to be a hobby" she whispered softly.
He nodded in understanding. He sat down on her bed, ignoring her onvitainvi to use the kotatsu. By the time he ended his tea, she was mostly done.
She sat beside him and sighed. He raised an eyebrow.
"I guess this is it. Isn't it?"
"What?"
She giggled "moving out from here. I made it 5 years ago and is still standing. Quite the record if you ask me"
"It is a surprise that you can make something with your clumsiness going on" he smirked but she didn't retort when he looked at her there was a hit of sadness.
He grabbed her chin and kissed her lips, she allowed him entrance and soon she was on top of him deeping the kiss.
Head's up it finally is. Next chp is rated M be warned
