Confession of the Damned

Naru shifted from his position. He could feel the numbness of his right arm as a result of its role as a pillow by a certain klutz. 'Just how did I end up in bed with Mai?' he asked. Naru let out a soft sigh. He tugged the blanket upwards to cover the sleeping girl in his arms. Naru closed his eyes thinking about the occurrences in the past few hours.

Flashback

Mai pulled Naru in an earth-shattering kiss. Naru's eye widened as Mai's soft lips pressed against his. He was shocked beyond recognition. This is his first kiss for god's sake and he believed Mai's as well. Instinctively he put his arms around her waist as he caved and returned the kiss.

Mai gasped when she felt Naru responding to her kiss. Naru smirked taking advantage of the situation and deepened the kiss pushing Mai harder into the passenger seat.

Accidentally, one of them pushed the inclination button of the passenger seat and the said seat reclined taking the occupants with it. Mai yelped nearly biting Naru's tongue off.

Seeing their very provocative and awkward position both teens blushed. Mai an obvious 10 shades of red while Naru with a pink tint on his pale face.

'They didn't just do that… did they?' Naru thought still in daze.

'This is embarrassing' Mai thought shyly looking out the window trying to fix her wrinkled outfit.

Naru decided that talking wasn't an option so instead he started the car engine and continued driving to Mai's apartment. In less than ten minutes, the duo reached Mai's apartment complex. Naru parked his car.

"Here you go" he said to Mai without directly looking at her.

"Err… Um… thanks" Mai answered unsurely.

Silence

"Um…" both said in unison that made them blush again Mai a brilliant red while Naru's only minutely visible looking away from each other.

"You first" they spoke out, blinking at each other as they said it in unison again.

Mai giggled. Naru chuckled. "You first" Naru said.

Mai blushed "I thought… well, I think… I might as well ask you to come in first." She said. Naru stared at her blankly. 'Did she just invite me to her apartment?' he thought controlling the heat from rising to his face.

"Oh, that is if you don't mind… I can prepare you a cup of tea and some biscuits. As my thank you for driving me home." Mai explained. Naru sighed in relief. 'Damn it! When did I have such a dirty mind?!' he thought.

He didn't answer; he just shut his car engine off out of the car and going to Mai's side opening the door for her. Mai blinked several times before she realized what Naru had done before climbing out. She gave the stoic boy a warm smile.

"Thank you" she said leading the way to her unit.

Upon settling down in the living room, Mai began preparing the tea and the biscuits. After a few minutes, Mai served Naru his steaming tea.

"Ittadakimasu" he whispered before he took a sip of his tea.

Silence reigned, almost 15 minutes of complete silence with Naru drinking his tea and Mai playing with her hot chocolate while munching some cookies.

"Mai" Naru said. Mai looked at him. "Yes?"

"Tea" Naru said.

Mai nearly strangled the man. She sighed pouring Naru some more tea.

Then again, there was silence.

"Naru" Mai called the man.

"…" (Naru close eyed)

"What were you going to say a while ago?" Mai asked.

"…" (Naru stared at Mai without speaking)

"…" (Mai stared back)

"…" (Naru stared)

"…" (Mai stared back at him)

Finally, Naru sighed breaking the staring contest.

"Mai…" he began.

Mai looked at him expectantly "Hmmm?"

"I'm sorry" he said.

Mai looked taken aback. "Eh?" then blink several times "For what?" she asked.

"I don't know" he answered.

Mai clenched her fist she stood up. "Get out!" she yelled.

Now, it was Naru's turn to look surprised. "HN?!"

"If you are sorry for kissing me back. Then get out. You just took advantage of me." Mai said shaking with fury her head bowed.

Naru narrowed his eyes but remain silent.

Mai laughed bitterly. "Mou! And here I thought you would at least consider my feelings." She admitted.

Silence.

Naru knew Mai was getting the wrong impression. What could he do… he was never good with words in the first place? He was about to say something when Mai's last words struck a sensitive cord in his heart.

"Let me tell you this… I have … I have waited for you for a long time now. I cannot promise you how much longer I could… you see… a girl can only wait for so long." Mai said eyes shadowed.

Naru swore his eyes could not get bigger than they already were. Mai's words stung. He stood up grabbing Mai's shoulders.

"SHUT UP!" he said forcefully.

Mai looked scared for a moment. Her fear evident and laced with confusion when she looked up and stared into Naru's eyes.

'He's mad at me? Why? Aren't I supposed to be the one mad at him, for toying with my feelings?' she thought.

"Listen to me Mai. Listen carefully, I hate repeating myself." He said sternly.

Mai stared at him.

Naru held Mai's gaze in his intense ones.

"I NEVER said I am sorry for kissing you back. I did NOT take advantage of you, I'll never will. AND you are never giving up on ME. Clear?" Naru said his grip tightens.

"Hai" Mai replied. Then Naru's words 'hit' Mai like a brick.

"EH?!?!" she exclaimed.

"I am not repeating myself." Naru said.

"I didn't ask you to!" Mai retorted back.

"Good" Naru said loosening his hold on Mai's shoulders. "Now you understand?"

Mai nodded "Somewhat" she answered.

Naru raised an eyebrow. Mai shrugged "Okay! I understand. Mou, why can't you just say it directly like normal guys would?" Mai whined.

"I am far from normal… so are you… we don't need does mushiness." Naru said.

"That's frank. Well, at least you can be frank with your feelings." She said.

Naru smirked. "You can't handle my true feelings Mai" he said.

"Try me" she challenged Naru.

"I feel like an idiot liking a completely foolish girl like you. (Pause) You keep doing slip-ups, what's funny is I find it amusing. (Pause) You attract trouble as if you have a signboard at the back of your head telling danger to jump right at you however; it pleases me whenever I get a chance to save you just in the nick of time. (Pause) You always talk rubbish, but then I find myself thinking. (Pause) You are too emotional for your own good, you hook yourself easily with other people's problems…, and I'll end up risking my neck or more than that to get you out of danger. (Pause) You smile too much; it scares me if I make you cry, then again, that's where I am good at...making you cry, I hate myself for that. (Pause) You are too friendly, too close to every one that it drives me mad thinking that you might harbor feelings for them, (Pause) (Pause) (Pause) and then I'll have to commit murder to get rid of them. (Pause) You stir emotions even I am not aware of, there are other things going in my mind about you… my feelings and the changes it's giving me. (Breathes in deeply) (Pause) To sum them up… you drive me nuts but I can't stop myself from falling for you, risking the fact that I have my dead brother as another possible rival. But, frankly… (Pause) I'm starting to like this feeling." Naru said then looked at Mai who had her eyes on her watch.

"Mai" Naru called her name.

Mai looked up and gave him a smile. "Oh… are you done?"

Naru nodded.

"It took you 3 minutes and 23 seconds…" Mai informed Naru narrowed his eyes.

Mai laughed. "Naru, it's easy as ABC… it wouldn't last you 5 seconds. Just say the words "I love you" that's it… you don't have to say those rude comments. In all Honesty, I am torn between bashing you in the head and giving you a hug." She said.

"I prefer the latter" Naru said.

"That's for me to decide." Mai said.

Naru chuckled. Mai yawned. "It's late… it's better if you stay. We have an early morning tomorrow right?" she suggested.

Naru raised an eyebrow. He smiled knowingly. "Are you suggesting we sleep together?" he asked.

Mai blushed 100 times redder. "NO! NOT THAT KIND!!!" she bellowed at Naru giving him a slap on the shoulder.

"Then what?"

"Just sleep, literally" Mai said trying her best not to stutter.

"Didn't I just say that" Naru said innocently. Mai glared at him.

Naru sighed. "Fine. I'm tired anyways." He said.

End of Flashback.

Naru sighed again. He used his left hand to brush Mai's hair away from her face.

"I love you Mai" he whispered sincerely. "I love you too Noll" Mai answered in her sleep.
