HIDDEN SECRETS
One last look wouldn't hurt would it? Tea sighed, stopping in front of her parents' bedroom, the room Celtic was sleeping in.
It had been the fifth time she'd woken up in the middle of the night to go and check up on him, and not until now did she realize how paranoid she was being about his safety.
" He's probably fine…" She gripped the handle, turning it, ready to peek inside. Still, it won't hurt. It's not like I'm spying on him or anything, just making sure he's okay.
Poking her head into the room, she looked around, squinting her eyes. It's so dark, I can't see anything!
Quietly she stepped in, tip-toeing to the bed he was sleeping on, stopping just beside him, leaning over to see he was sleeping quietly.
She smiled at the sight. He looks so different sleeping…real even.
His lips, a natural peach color, were parted the slightest, letting out small breaths of air. His hair, no longer held down by the heavy metal helmet, was spread out around his head like yellow silk.
She carefully moved her hand out to touch it, tempted by its ethereal glow. It's so…smooth. Not even my hair's this soft! She glared at him, envious.
His hair definitely outdoes any guys' I've seen. She laughed at that. Then again she did have friends with wild hair styles. Especially Yugi…
" Ohh!" She couldn't believe she'd just brought him up again. Why couldn't she get him out of her head? Did she really like Yugi that much?
What if it's more than a crush? She thought worriedly, biting her lip, still managing to run her fingers absently through Celtic's hair. She shook her head. I've got to stop thinking about him so much.
She sulked inwardly. It can't be healthy.
She smiled down at Celtic, admiring his open green eyes----W-wait a minute!
She squeaked when she felt him grab her and fling her onto the bed, pushing her into the mattress, pinning her down with his body.
W-what's he doing? Tea gasped, staring up at him with wide eyes.
" C-Celtic?" What if he'd mistaken her for a burglar and he was going to kill her! I didn't think about that!
She stared fearfully up at him, " It's me, T-Tea!"
She screamed when he wrapped his arms around her and pushed his face down on her neck. Oh God! He's going to squeeze me to death! She blinked when he just stayed there, keeping her in his arms, breathing softly against her neck, snoring.
SNORING? " Celtic?" She cried, shaking him a bit. I-I can't believe it! He's asleep
He did not just fall asleep on me….Don't tell me he just fell asleep on me!
She shifted under him, moving her head out from under his shoulder, finally able to breathe.
" Celtic! Celtic, wake up!" She hissed, shaking his shoulders more fiercely. Her eyes rounded to saucers. What if---what if he never woke up and she was stuck under him forever!
I guess it's not that bad…Wait! What am I thinking? Just because he smelled extremely good and his body fit so perfectly---
Whoa! I did not just think that! What's wrong with me? I-I think I'm starting to become claustrophobic! She pushed her hands against his shoulders, trying to push him off.
Geez he's heavy! It must be all that muscle! She grunted, gritting her teeth, using allher strength.
Oh, it's useless She let her arms fall out, exhausted. " Of course he just had to be a deep sleeper…" She sighed, shutting her eyes. Just my luck!
She just hoped he woke up soon. It was starting to get really hot under him.
Celtic sighed, moving his arms around the cushiony pillow, breathing in its apricot smell. Oddly enough the pillow kept thrashing under him, but he figured it was just his imagination. It had been so long since he'd slept in a bed.
Hmm, not only that, but he could've sworn the pillow made…noises? He inwardly shook his head; a pillow talking wasn't possible.
He moved his hand from around the pillow, lifting it up to let it rest. He frowned. There it was again, that noise, a squealing sound.
He ignored it, too tired to care or bother.
Tea gasped. She couldn't believe this! Celtic was….was GROPING her! She squealed when his hand fell over her right breast, resting there, pressing his palm against it.
Did he know that he was practically….molesting her in his sleep? She turned red in anger and embarrassment. She stared down, keeping her eyes on his hand. If he so much as brushed it, she'd bite his head off!
Squeeze….caress.
" WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!" She screeched, cheeks flaming red. That hand of his was a complete pervert!
Celtic shifted above her, lifting his head up, opening his eyes slowly. Oh thank god, he finally heard me!
He stared blankly at her, eyes glazed and dull, before he moved his hand off her breast, replacing it with his face, resting his cheek against it.
Oh my GOD! She trembled under him, breathing with difficultly, hysterical. How could this be happening? To her? What did she ever do to deserve this!
She was kind, friendly, gave people like Bakura and Marik second chances, and yet here was her payback….him.
Oh! When he wakes up Iswear he's going to get it! Accident or not!
Celtic moved his cheek against the soft pillow, breathing in content. He couldn't believe how cushiony this pillow was. What did they put in these pillows to make them so…
Soft….he thought, dragging his cheek against it again.
Tea shook under him in anger and disbelief. Two hours, two long hours and he was still asleep! Didn't he need to go to the bathroom? How could someone stay in the same spot the whole night!
I'm going to die here…..Tea dreaded. And when the guys find me it'll be too late! I'll be a human pancake
" Wake up already…" She groaned, turning her head to the side. It felt like forever being under him, and slowly his weight was starting to get to her. It was excruciatingly hot, and she was starting to sweat from the heat coming from his body.
Whew! He's a personal heater! Why couldn't he show up in winter?
" Celtic…" She whined. It had been so long that she stopped caring where his head was laying, and how wrong this looked, only concentrating on how her friends would react if they every found out.
I'm doomed…and it's all his fault! She thought, turning accusing eyes on Celtic
And then, like magic, he woke, just like that.
" Celtic?" She blinked. Were her eyes deceiving her or did someone up there really like her?
He lifted his face off her chest after realizing what he'd been sleeping on for the past couple hours, an indescribable look in his eyes.
Why's he looking at me like that? She fidgeted nervously, finally able to sit up as well as he got off her completely
" I--you wouldn't wake up…" She blurted, finding herself feeling responsible for the predicament. Oh! The way he's looking at me….it makes me feel bad!
" I came to check up on you, and well, I guess you were still asleep, so it wasn't your fault…" She paused, realizing she'd been blabbing non-stop. " And, well, yeah…" How could she explain it? She couldn't.
He remained still, his eyes screwed tight on her, unmoving. Say something…it's your fault!
She found herself huffing in anger. " Why are you looking at me like that? I tried to wake you up." She defended.
His eyes finally fell away from her, blocking her view of the emotions going on in them. What was he thinking? Did he blame her? Did he not believe her? Did he think it was her fault?
And of course no-one else was around but him, and he was asleep!
" Well," She swallowed hard. Sound confident, you've stood up to worse. You've stood up to Kaiba!
" I should go to bed." She quickly excused herself, climbing off the bed.
Before she made it to the door, she found something pulling her back, keeping her from moving any further.
" What?" She couldn't help but feel snappish. It was his fault, and he made her feel like she'd violated him!
She found herself blushing, staring, captivated by his smoldering eyes, burning a clear message into her own.
I'm sorry.
" Alright! You're forgiven…" She playfully glared at him. " I guess."
Ding…Dong…
Tea blinked; was she hearing things? She looked at Celtic who said nothing and made no impression that he'd heard the...
Ding Dong! " Hey! That's the door!" She gasped, staring at Celtic with wide eyes. " Stay in your room, okay? I'll be right back!"
He watched her dash out and race down the stairs, almost tripping on the last step in her hurry to answer the door as she reached out and flung it open, cheeks flushed from the run.
" Joey? Ah, hey…" She suddenly grew angry. " Wait a minute…What are you doing at my house at…." She turned to look at the clock in the kitchen, " …five in the morning!"
Joey shrugged, hands in his pant pockets, looking casual with his messy hair and smug grin. " I sorta…"
" Got kicked out?" She guessed, leaning against the doorframe with a knowing smile, arms crossed.
He laughed, scratching the back of his head. " Ya know me too well, Teya," He mumbled, looking down a moment, seemingly debating something.
" And…you wanted to know if you could stay at my house in the meantime?"
He looked up, eyes wide and round. " What are ya? Some sorta…psycho?"
She laughed, rolling her eyes. " It's psychic! And no, I just know you Joey."
He shrugged again, " So….can I? You know how Yuge's---"
" I know, I know," She cut in, not really in the mood to bring up him." What about Tristan?"
" He was out or somethin'. 'Sides, I dun think his parents like me." He grinned at that.
She laughed. " Well…." She was about to say yes, when she remembered what, or rather, whom she was keeping a secret upstairs in her parents' room.
If I say yes Joey will find out about Celtic for sure! And with that big mouth of his, Yugi and everyone else will know!
She chewed at her lip. But if I say no he'll get suspicious…Argh! Why me?
" Listen, if it's too much trouble…" He started.
" No, it's not that!" She cursed. Shoot! " You can stay. But you'd better leave the day your dad lets you back in!" She warned, pointing a finger at him.
He grinned. " You're da best, Teya!"
She smiled weakly, the sickening feeling in her stomach getting worse. " What are friends for…?"
He stepped inside, adjusting the strap of his bag---obviously carrying spare clothes--over his shoulder, muttering a thanks to her as he passed.
Tea shut the door, banging her head against it afterward with a long, deep sigh. What have I gotten myself into?
