Things To Like, Things To Hate: Part Two - The One That You Love
Koizumi POV (Flashbacks are Otani's POV)
"I'm not okay
I'm not okay!
Well I'm not okay, I'm not o-fucking-kay!"
He confused me. He always did. No matter what he said, or what he did, he always ended up confusing me. Right now, as I stared violently at my phone, I was more confused than ever. If he really did love me, he wouldn't have cheated, right? Right?
But it was over now. I just wasn't going to take it. I had taken way too much before, with Seiko-chan (which, after Otani discovered she was a he, wasn't much of a problem), with Kanzaki-san, and with Mimi-chan. I wasn't gonna take it anymore (although, the previous ones didn't actually get to do anything with him –except for Seiko, who forced a kiss on him…oh and Kanzaki, who had some points for being the exgirlfriend…- yeaaah, they did get to do stuff…)
Anyway, I surely wished that I could have a perfect relationship, like Nobu-chan and Nakao-chi's. Their relationship has been flawless for more than three years!
I noticed my classmates standing up and it took me out of my thoughts, but particularly Saku, because she was poking me and telling me that class was over. I immediately went over to our dorm without a word, and threw myself in my bed.
"Risa?" she asked.
"Hmm?" I replied.
"Today, since it's Friday, I'm gonna go visit my family in Osaka, and I'm gonna stay with them for the weekend"
"Why so suddenly?" I asked.
"I really don't know. I just feel the need to see them. You'll be okay, right?" she asked.
"Yeah… go ahead" I replied.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Well, if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say
I never want to let you down, or let you go…"
"Huh?" I said, sitting up on my bed. "Hmm… I fell asleep. What time is it?" I said out loud, looking at my phone. "Oh. It's only been 20 minutes…" I stated, stretching my arms.
"Yeah. Though they seemed like forever…"
"Yeah…" I replied, and then yelled. Who did I just reply to? Saku was out! I looked towards the closed door, and noticed the boy standing in front of it.
"O…tani…?" I said.
"Yo" he said, giving me a peace sign.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, without a specific tone on my voice.
"I'm here to explain to you what happened. You wanted an explanation, right?" he said, still not moving from in front of the door. He sighed after noticing that I was staring blankly at him and was not going to reply.
"Her name is Youni Akumo, and I think she likes me…"
"How can you think she likes you after she kissed you? Of course she does!" I stated.
"ANYWAY, she tackled me into a hug, we fell to the floor, and then she randomly kissed me! And at the same second you walked in! I swear, it's like she knew you were coming! …wait…"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
" Ats-kun!" a small blonde girl with brown eyes said as she ran towards me.
"Aah! Youni-chan!" I said as I greeted her waving my hand, but she kept running and wrapped me into a hug. "Ugh! Youni…chan!" I said, trying to get her off me, but that only caused me to lose my balance.
"Agh!" I said as I felt Youni's weight on me. "Youni-chan! Please get off of me!" I said, but before I knew it, she was kissing me in a way I had never kissed anyone, or had been kissed by anyone, before.
"Otani…" I heard after a slight gasp, and I could swear I felt Youni smirking into the kiss. I heard footsteps fading away quickly, and that's when Youni pulled away from me.
"Aah! I'm… I'm so sorry, Ats-kun! I…" she said, but I softly pushed her off of me, stood up quickly and started running. "Ats-kun!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I waited. It really seemed like he had realized something…
"That's it! I think I had mentioned to her that my girlfriend was coming over that day, so she probably did that so you would get the wrong idea… which you did" he stated.
"I believed in what my eyes told me" I replied.
"Well, believe what your ears hear now, Koizumi…" he said, and I swore I heard something before he started walking towards me. He sat down next to me and looked at my eyes for a second. Then, he did something he hadn't done in a while.
He kissed me suddenly; out of nowhere. It was certainly an unexpected kiss, but there was something else…
It was a more forceful kiss than usual; there was more hunger in it, more… passion. It didn't feel like a 'normal' kiss. It felt desperate, but at the same time cute and slow. For the first time in our entire relationship I felt like he really loved me… like he wanted me. He pulled away after some time, and we both breathed heavily.
"Ot…" I tried to say, but the words didn't come out, because I was both surprised and breathless.
"I've missed you…" he simply stated, and I nodded blankly. It was now that I noticed the violent blush that had formed on his cheeks while he looked down. "I want you to know, Koizumi… that I love you and only you" he said, and looked at me. I blushed too. "You're the only one for me…"
He stared at me for a few seconds before kissing me again, the same way as before.
"Maybe…" I thought, but pushed it away, and I could feel my face getting hotter as Otani slowly laid us down in my bed. "No. He can't… I mean… he can't, right?"
At that moment, he pulled away from my lips and started nibbling on my neck.
"Otani…" I said, almost breathless, and resisting the strange, sudden urge to moan. "I think he is…"
"Hmm?" he replied, not going away from my neck; not even for a single second. "What… are… you… doing?" I slowly asked.
He went away from my neck and look at me for a second, with an almost embarrassed smirk (probably because of the stupidity of my question), before asking "Well, isn't it kinda obvious?" and kissing my lips again. After enjoying the kiss, and the moment, I started freaking out. He then moved on to nibbling my right ear. I fought the urge to moan again, but this time I failed. He seemed to notice this, because he lightly sighed into my ear.
"Otani…" I said, still freaking out, "We can't… I mean, you… I…. we…"
"You don't want to. Is that what you're saying?" he asked, a little disappointed, moving his head in front of mine to face me.
"No… it's not that…" I said as I blushed even more (as if that was possible). Otani hadn't moved off of me. "Then what is it?" he asked, looking at my eyes, trying to maintain the seriousness of his expression and at the same time trying to contain the blush on his face.
"Well… I mean… I haven't… done this before and… you have… experience…" I said, nervous at the awkwardness of the subject, the awkwardness of the situation, and a little mad at the thought.
Otani laughed lightly for a moment before asking "What makes you think I have done it before?" and laughing again.
"Well, you were locked in your Middle School's dark gym storage room with sweet, cute Kanzaki-san, and…"
"Where did you get that idea?" he asked me, annoyed.
"Well, you were locked in there for hours, it was dark, you were with the one that you loved…"
"Do you actually think I did that?" Otani asked me, with a very serious expression.
"Well…"
"I can't believe you!" he snapped before getting off of me and sitting up on the bed. "I can't believe you'd actually think I'd do that with her… or with anyone at such a young age, when one doesn't even know what real love is, or what one wants!"
"Well, excuse me! I mean…"
"I thought you knew me better than that, Koizumi. But maybe you don't…" he said as he stood up and took a step towards the door.
"Wait!" I said as I quickly stood up too and grabbed his hand.
"What?" he asked, turning around. I kissed him without a thought or hesitation, the same as the previous ones.
"Koizumi…" he said, confused after we pulled away.
"I'm sorry; you're right. I should know you better than that…"
"You should, you should…" he said, crossing his arms and nodding in agreement. We stayed silent for a while after that.
"I… wanna do it" I said, as I looked away and blushed madly.
And before I knew it, we were lying on the bed again, kissing.
"Here I am, the one that you love
asking for another day
Understand the one that you love
loves you in so many ways…"
"You actually came…" Koizumi's roommate, Saku, said.
"Of course I came…" I replied.
"So, you're actually gonna do this?"
"Of course I am! I… I love her…" I said as I blushed and put a hand behind my neck.
"Wow… I actually believe you…" she said as she threw me a keychain with a key. "Okay, then. Good luck"
"Yeah…" I said as I opened a door.
"So you guys planned this?"
"Yes! And I just knew you were gonna do… that! That's why I 'went out'!"
"Saku-chan!" I whined, and she laughed, but in reality, I was glad she had helped Otani with this, because now Otani and I were back together.
"You're a great friend, Saku-chan…" I said.
"You betI am!" she said proudly.
"Well, I'll be going now…" Otani said as he came back from (oddly) paying for our meals, and took his bag from a chair. "The bus to the airport will be here any second now…" he said as he bent down to peck my lips, but it turned into a little more for a slight second. After he pulled away, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Otani asked annoyed. That just made me laugh more.
"You still totally take advantage of when I'm sitting down!" I said, and laughed again.
"Idiot…"
A/N: Do NOT ask me where the heck I got the name 'Youni Akumo', cause I totally randomly made that up :S Anyway, don't you think it would be typical of Koizumi to think that Otani had already been with someone else (probably with Kanzaki)?
Now, if you didn't get it, the two flashbacks were on Otani's POV.
Oh, and I told you guys I would try to keep the drabbles T! I had to contain myself from putting some lemon scenes in here 0:) But it would've taken away the innocent-cuteness of the drabble, so…
