"K-Kiss?!" I manage to choke out. I look at Takumi to see him smirking. I blush.
"Is it okay if I initiate the kiss?" Takumi asks Sakura. She nods eagerly.
"Yes, yes!" she squeals. I shake my head.
"No, it's my dare, I want to do it," I blurt out. I was honestly shocked at my own words. I see Takumi's cheeks faintly tinged with pink. He actually looked pretty cute like that...
I lean over to him, my breaths short and heavy. I was pretty damn nervous... I was going to have my first kiss in front of my friends and two random people I barely knew.
"Misaki, if you don't want to-" he tries to say, but I cut him off.
"Shut up, I'm trying to do this for you..." I mutter, but I'm certain he heard it. I move closer until our faces are only inches apart...
Then I push my lips against his forehead to give him a quick peck. I pull back immediately afterwards, my cheeks flushed dark red. He gives me a pat on the shoulder as if to say 'you did well'.
"Yay! Misaki and Takumi kissed!" Sakura cheers. Satsuki ran off right after the kiss to grab some tissues for her nosebleed.
"You two are so cute together!" Erika chimes in, giggling a bit. Subaru nods in agreement. Kuuga just sat there cross-legged with a smirk on his face.
"Whatever! Let's go to bed..." I blush. Sakura frowns.
"Go to bed? Silly, you don't sleep at sleepovers!" she laughs. I sigh.
"Sakura, I live with you..." I say.
"Not right now you don't," she replies. "Anyway, where's the spare blankets?" she asks. I shrug.
"Just steal them off the spare beds in the other rooms," I reply nonchalantly.
"Okie dokie, I'll be back soon!" she announces, skipping out of the room. I take this opportunity to run back to my room and change out of the maid uniform. I put on some blue fuzzy pajamas, then take a seat beside Takumi again. I suddenly feel something linger on my neck so I shift a bit. I turn to my left to see Takumi's face dangerously close to mine.
"W-What do you want?" I whisper. He leans in closer.
"I'll repay you for that kiss later," he murmurs into my ear. I blush.
"D-Don't say such things..." I mutter, turning my head in an attempt to hide my red face. Right at that moment, I hear Sakura skipping back into the room along with Satsuki.
"I got them," she says, tossing everyone a fluffy blanket. Unfortunately, I'm the only one left without one.
"Ahem," I say, raising an eyebrow at the pink haired girl. She looks at me before gasping dramatically.
"Ah! Misaki doesn't have one! Takumi, will you share with her for the night?" she exclaims almost too quickly. Takumi smirks, and being the pervert he is, accepts the offer in a heartbeat.
"Of course," he replies, throwing the blanket over my shoulders and pulling me closer to him.
"What are you doing?!" I yell.
"Now now, we wouldn't want you to be cold, would we?" he chuckles, gently guiding my head over to lean on his shoulder. I blush, but don't say anything.
"Aha, okay, Erika and I will be leaving now," Subaru says. "It was a great day, though! Have us over again some other time," she smiles, before she and Erika depart the house.
"That was sudden," I comment, shifting a bit to get into a more comfortable position. Sakura shrugs.
"Whatever- AWW, LOOK AT THEM!" Satsuki squeals as her eyes land on Takumi and I. Sakura smiles. I was getting really tired, so I hardly noticed all the stares and 'aww's I was receiving.
"Misaki, you can't go to sleep yet..." Sakura says, gently shaking my shoulder. I open my eyes.
"Why not...?" I ask, stifling a yawn.
"We have to have storytime!" she replies as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh... Okay," I nod, still keeping my head leaned against Takumi's shoulder. I look at his face to see him smiling at me. I avert my gaze from his shyly.
"Ooh! I've got one!" Satsuki chimes in. "Once upon a time, there was a girl named Mitsuki. She fell in love with a boy named Takku! They got married and had three adorable children. The end!"
"Aww, that was so cute!" Sakura gushes. My eye twitches.
"Haha..." I say, rolling my eyes. Leave it to my friends to be discreet.
"Okay, we can go to bed now," Sakura giggles, snuggling up against Kuuga, who was lying down on the floor a while ago. Satsuki jumped up and turned off the lights, leaving us all in darkness. I felt Takumi lie down, and not wanting to leave his warmth, I decided to do the same. It was kind of awkward doing this amongst all our friends, but fortunately nobody could see anyone else in the dark.
"Misaki," I hear Takumi whisper. I look up at him.
"What?" I whisper back. I feel his finger graze my chin, and I can feel a shiver go down my spine. He leans down, and I can feel his breath on my lips. I blush, but luckily he couldn't see it. I suddenly feel his lips pressed against mine. My eyes widen.
Eventually, I naturally close my eyes as the kiss deepens. I can hear my heart racing in my ears, and my thoughts are all jumbled up. His alluring scent definitely wasn't helping at all. His lips were soft and warm, which made my legs turn to jelly. If I weren't lying down, I would have definitely fallen to the floor by now. He was a surprisingly good kisser, not that I'd ever admit that to anyone. I hadn't even noticed I grabbed a fistful of his shirt until now.
"Misaki!" I hear Sakura call. Crap, now was not the time! I quickly away from the kiss, panting ever so slightly. My face was stained with red. I wiped his saliva off my lips with my sleeve.
"Y-Yeah?" I ask, hoping she didn't notice my stuttering.
"Do you like red or blue better?" she inquires. I raise an eyebrow, though I knew nobody could see it.
"Um, red," I reply, still unsure why she asked.
"Okay, thanks!" she chirps, resuming whatever the hell she was doing. I sigh, and look up at Takumi's face. I notice that his emerald eyes are looking at me as well.
"Did I repay you well?" he whispers, and I can hear the smirk in his voice. The once fading blush now returns.
"Y-Yeah..." I mutter.
"What was that? You were too quiet," he asks in a hushed voice. I know he heard my answer the first time and he was just messing around, but I still glare at him.
"Whatever, your loss," I whisper back. He chuckles.
"Goodnight," he says quietly.
"Goodnight, alien," I respond. I feel him wrap an arm around my waist, and can't help but smile a bit. I lean my head against his chest. I close my eyes, and instantly feel very sleepy. I feel myself drift off into darkness, as his heartbeat lulls me to sleep.
Click.
What the hell is that sound...?
"Sakura, get one from this angle!"
Snap.
"Oh, look, this one turned out really well!"
I peek open one of my eyes to see- OW! What is that flashing light?!
"What the hell are you guys doing?!" I yell. Sakura giggles, phone in hand.
"Sorry, did we wake you?" she asks. "We were just taking photos of you guys~" she says, snapping another picture. I blush.
"Wha- DELETE THEM RIGHT NOW!" I demand. She pouts.
"Hey, Sakura, send them to me," I hear Takumi say. I glare at him.
"You were awake?! And you were letting them do this?!" I yell at him.
"Well, I was only half-awake," he shrugs. My glare hardens.
"Alright, alright, picture time is over," I sigh, calming down. "Lets clean up this room," I suggest. There were blankets sprawled around the room, near Sakura's blanket there were magazines, and Satsuki had... sewing equipment?
"Okie dokie!" Sakura agrees, rushing over to her pile of magazines.
"I'll get the blankets," I say. Takumi stands up and decides to help as well. I gather up all the huge blankets, and wander into the hallway. I return each blanket to its respective space.
I open a spare room to return the blanket back to its proper place, but soon notice the bed already had one. That's when realization dawns on me. Sakura planned this out all along. I smile.
Y'know, sometimes I actually appreciate Sakura and her sneaky little acts.
