Alone Time

Lee smiled as he watched Toru dart around the stuffed animal store excitedly. He should have known it'd be the first place they'd end up when she asked to go shopping first. They had been released from their Work Study for the day early, so Lee and Toru had decided to go on their date today rather than tomorrow. Finally, she walked over with a stuffed rabbit and smiled happily.

"Where to next?" Lee asked.

"Um...well, I could use a new bathing suit," Toru decided.

Lee's mind flashed back to his shopping trip with Mina and he had to force a smile, nodding. "Sure."

Toru smiled, slipping her hand into his as they walked to a store selling bathing suits. Lee bought a new pair of swimming trunks, since he didn't actually have any, and Toru bought a white bikini with a similar style to Mina's with the only tie being in the front, but with a ruffled cloth hanging down along the top inside edge of the strap and cups an inch wite, then a two inch ruffled cloth along the top of the extremely small bottoms. Lee payed for both, trying extremely hard to not picture Toru in the bikini. Once they had that, and Toru had stored her new stuffed rabbit in the bag that store gave them, they left the mall, heading to the movies. Toru chose the same movie Mina had, but unlike Mina, she actually wanted to watch it. After the movie they got dinner, then went to watch another movie, this time watching an animated Disney movie, once again with Toru's eyes glued to the screen. Once it was over, they finally headed back to the dorms. Lee walked Toru back to her room, closing the door behind himself as Toru sat on the bed, looking up at Lee expectantly.

He chuckled, sitting beside her and she leaned on his shoulder. "It's so different spending time with you than the others."

"How so?" Toru asked.

"Well, Mina's been pushing things," Lee said. "She's been trying to see how far she can push before I snap. And Momo and I tend to...struggle with controlling with ourselves."

Toru giggled. "So...what, you've been..."

"No," Lee said. "I'm trying my best to keep myself under control, but Mina's making it ridiculously hard to keep myself under control. And with Momo it's just like my body and my mind have completely different agendas."

Toru nodded. "So...you're attracted to them more."

"Hey!" Lee said, making her look at him. "Don't ever think like that. The reason I can't choose one of you is because I'm attracted to each of you equally. You're just as beautiful as they are. Don't ever believe you're not. You're just so pure that you make it easy to keep myself under control for fear of hurting you."

Toru smiled happily, kissing him for a few seconds before setting her head back on his shoulder again. "You know...Mina told me she was going to mess with you and see if she could wear you down. I was expecting her to start off slow."

"You knew?" Lee asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course," Toru nodded. "Me and Mina talk about everything."

"Oh, so she knows all your dirty secrets?" Lee asked.

"I don't have any dirty secrets!" Toru defended herself, blushing.

Lee chuckled. "Of course not." He kissed her on the top of her head before she stood.

"I'll be right back," Toru said. "I'm going to put my new bathing suit away."

She pulled it out of the bag and walked over to her dresser, and Lee frowned, watching her.

"Did I do something wrong?" Lee asked. "It feels like you're...unhappy with me. Or like you're trying to keep your distance."

Toru stopped, looking back at him in surprise before shaking her head. "No! Of course no!" She sat in his lap, looping her arms around his neck and giving him a quick kiss. "I had such a great time with you today, really! I love spending time with you!"

"Alright," Lee smiled. "I believe you. But I still feel like there's something wrong."

Toru sighed. "Maybe. It just...I feel like you've been...spending most of your time with Mina and Momo."

"I'm sorry," Lee said. "I noticed that too. I didn't mean to make you feel like I shut you out. They're just the ones that always come to visit my room, or I go to get Momo's help with some of my gear and then we have the opportunity to...get distracted."

Toru nodded, sighing. "I suppose."

"Hey," Lee said, gently pulling her into a kiss. "Who did I just spend all day with? For today, I'm yours alone."

Toru smiled and nodded, kissing him. He kissed her back instantly and she sighed, melting into the kiss. After a moment, she pressed a hand against his chest and Lee so he was facing the right way on the bed and lay down, bringing Toru with him. Toru lay herself over him, deepening the kiss, her tongue sliding against his, her left hand resting against his cheek and the other splayed on his chest. Lee smiled as he let go of his control, allowing himself to loose himself in the kiss. He enjoyed kissing Toru, possibly more than kissing Mina and Momo. Unlike kissing Mina, Toru didn't push any boundaries, and unlike Momo, even when he didn't constantly restrain himself with Toru, he was calm and controlled.

The two of them lay there for hours, remaining joined at the lips and holding each other until well after midnight without a problem arising. Not to say his body didn't react to her. It most certainly did. She was too beautiful for it not to. But he didn't lose control. Finally, he pulled away from the kiss, smiling and tucking hair behind her ear.

"You're so beautiful," Lee smiled.

Toru smiled, eyes watering. "You don't know how much it means to me that you can see me. Even my parents can't actually see me. We can see where each other are, but we can't really see each other. it's more like a faintly glowing silhouette. I can see myself, but...you're the first person to ever actually tell me I'm beautiful."

Lee smiled. "I'll tell you as often as you like."

Toru smiled, kissing him again. He smiled, returning the kiss, but rolling over to his right so that she was on the bed, slipping his left hand into her right as their legs interlocked. His right hand remained pinned under her, supporting his weight to avoid weighing down on her too much while also holding her against him, her left hand wrapped around him to hold him in place as well. After almost another hour, Lee finally rolled onto his back again, bringing her with him again before giving her one last kiss, then setting his head down.

"Are you going to head back to your room?" Toru asked.

"I was actually hoping you'd let me sleep here," Lee said. "I want to be able to wake up with you in my arms."

Toru's eyes widened before she smiled radiantly and nodded. "I'd love that."

"Alright," Lee smiled, kissing her. "Then we should go to sleep. I'm getting up in a few hours to get cleaned up and start breakfast."

Toru nodded, but instead of sleeping, she simply kissed him again. He chuckled, relenting and kissing her back, the two neglecting to get any sleep before Lee's alarm went off a few hours later.
