CHAPTER 14: CLOUD NINE
Misaki wasn't sure what exactly woke her up. It would have been the creaking of her bed as Rin got up. Or it could have been his voice which was quickly rising in volume. Though most likely it was the odd pain in her lower abdominals that made her sit up and begin rubbing sleep out of her eyes. Everything was slightly blurry and very loud as Misaki looked around her room. For some reason Rin was screaming into his cell phone….wait why was Rin even here!?
Shoulders reached for ears, heart rate quickening as Misaki tried to fight through the morning fog to figure out what the maroon haired teen was doing in her room. And why is he shirtless? Eyes widened slightly as Misaki's mouth made a small 'o' and color began to wash over her cheeks. It had really happened. It wasn't just a dream or a hallucination.
"We had sex," she whispered, wanting to hear how those words would sound. They sounded strange and unreal and Misaki suddenly felt extraordinarily embarrassed.
They had seen each other naked. He had been inside of her. His face had been contorted in pleasure as she writhed underneath him. The memories of the event that flashed inside her head made Misaki feel like a pervert. And then there was this weird pain in her stomach. It felt like menstrual cramps but different in a way Misaki couldn't really explain.
"Google time," she mumbled, leaning over to grab her phone off the nightstand. As she opened up the web browser she began to catch onto some of the things Rin was saying.
"What?! No!? Why would I be kidnapped!?"
Eyebrows rose as Misaki wondered who in the world Rin could be talking to and why this person thought Rin was kidnapped. Hazel eyes flicked between her phone and Rin, watching as the male began trying to calm down whoever he was talking to. Misaki's attention was soon diverted solely to her phone as she scrolled through the yahoo answers.
"I think you hit my ovaries," Misaki mumbled, wondering how that was even possible. Her words managed to catch Rin's attention- whose back had been to her while he spoke on the phone.
"What?" Rin asked, though Misaki wasn't sure who he was talking to. Finally with a loud groan and a rushed 'I have to go' Rin rung up the phone.
"Who was that?"
"My roommate," Rin said as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "He freaked out when I didn't come back last night, now can you repeat what you just said?"
"About my ovaries?" The word made Rin flinch and Misaki began wondering if the male even knew what that was, "It's just my stomach kind of hurts so I dunno I think you hit something."
"Hit something?"
Misaki wasn't sure how to explain it without talking about her uterus and stroking Rin's ego. Because this apparently happened because of the size of his, "Never mind," Misaki muttered, not really wanting to think about it let alone have to verbalize it, "What time is it?"
"Nine thirty."
"Shouldn't you be at school!?" Misaki propped herself onto her knees, leaning forward as she clutched onto the edge of the bed.
"Tch thanks captain obvious. We overslept."
Misaki didn't really like the use of 'we' considering she was on summer break and therefore didn't have to get up early for school. So technically it was just Rin who overslept but Misaki figured she should just keep that little thought to herself. "So what are you gonna do?"
"Stay here I guess."
"Who said you were invited?" A cheeky grin came to Misaki's face as she stood up from the bed, "Ah ow."
"Tell me about it."
Misaki's whole lower body felt sore and uncomfortable. At Rin's statement she looked at the male to see him rubbing the back of his head, "I'm sore," she stated dryly as she tried to figure out a way to stand that wouldn't feel like she had been hit by a truck.
"Yeah well me too."
The thought made Misaki want to both laugh and blush, though she did neither. Instead she let out a sigh and began awkwardly walking towards the bathroom, "I need to shower."
Rin didn't question anything as Misaki walked away and locked herself in the bathroom. After brushing her teeth and washing her face the teen turned on the shower and began taking her clothes off. "Oh my god Rin!"
Misaki heard footsteps run down the hall and a hand try to open the locked door, "What happened!? Are you okay!?"
"What the hell is this!?" Misaki yelled over the sound of the running water as she delicately touched the large purple bruise that was on her collarbone.
"Open the damn door so I can see what you're talking about!"
"You gave me a hickey!"
"Open the door!"
"No! I'm shirtless!"
"Like I haven't seen you shirtless before."
The comment made Misaki blush though the look of horror never left her face. With a low thud the bathroom door swung open and Misaki quickly wrapped her arms around her naked bust, "Rin get out!"
"Let me see." Instead of getting out the male walked towards Misaki and poked the hickey, "It's not even that bad, stop being a baby."
"What do you mean not that bad!?" Misaki turned to look in the mirror, leaning forward in an attempt to get a better view of the discoloration. The spot was about the size of both her thumbs side by side. The outside was a fiery red while the center was a dark purple with minuscule blue spots.
"It could be worse," Rin said as he walked up behind Misaki and placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder.
The action made Misaki tense as she was still very much shirtless. Rin had managed to slip on his t-shirt while Misaki had gone to the bathroom though the fact that he was fully clothed didn't make this any less awkward. Rin's lips placed another kiss on her shoulder though this time he began trailing the affection up towards her neck.
"I kinda have to take a shower," Misaki tried to not let her breathe hitch as she felt Rin's warm breathe on her neck but it was nearly impossible to not let out a very small moan. Especially when Rin began biting down on the sensitive skin- he really was way too good at this.
"Me too," he breathed into her ear and never had two words sounded so seductive.
If she hadn't already been sore maybe she would have let Rin continue. Instead she spun around and while keeping one arm firmly covering her breasts she landed a hard punch to Rin's chest. "Okay Casanova," she sputtered, her breathing slightly ragged, "Out."
"Jeez fine," Rin huffed as he rubbed the area Misaki had punched, "Don't take forever."
"I won't," Misaki said as she slammed the door shut once Rin had exited the room.
Once Rin was gone Misaki could continue undressing. As she slid off her pajama shorts and underwear she noticed a dried out substance on her inner thigh. It took Misaki a minute to register what it was but once she did a shiver ran down her spine. The hop into the shower was slightly painful though the warm water began to help relieve the aches and pains.
A content sigh left her lips as Misaki stood under the water with her eyes closed. Despite the uncomfortable lower belly pain and the soreness the seventeen year old girl was actually quite happy. It wasn't until she was washing the conditioner out of her hair that her heart sank and that cloud nine feeling began to wear off.
It was now official. Misaki was a cheater. A cheater of the highest caliber. Because it was one thing to cheat on your boyfriend by kissing another guy but it was a whole new level of cheating to have sex with another guy. The weirdest part was that although Misaki felt guilty for cheating on Makoto she didn't feel guilty for having sex with Rin.
Last night was perhaps the greatest moment in Misaki's life. It was wonderful and passionate and she shared it with someone who she had loved since she was twelve. Although she had yet to verbalize it Misaki did love Rin. She loved everything about him. Even when he acted like a douchebag and insulted her Misaki still loved him. Rin was her dream, her aspiration, her once in a lifetime love and deep down Misaki knew Rin felt the same. Why else would he have had sex with her? Why else would he be willing to wait for her even though it would be much easier to just move on? They were star crossed lovers who were ever waiting for the right opportunity to come together.
Too bad no one besides Misaki and Rin would be able to see it like that. Everyone else would see what she did as a horrible crime against someone she had claimed to love. But Misaki did love Makoto. She loved how kind he was. She loved his smile and his laugh. She loved how he looked at her as if she was the prettiest girl on the planet. There were so many reasons she loved him yet all those reasons made Misaki feel worse for what she had done to him.
Makoto didn't deserve to be cheated on- Misaki knew this yet she wasn't sure what she should do. A long exhale pushed from her nostrils as Misaki turned the water off. I'll figure it out, she thought as she wrapped a towel around herself. It might take me a little while but I'll figure it out.
Rin saw no reason to go for only a half day of school especially since everyone would ask him where he was. This meant that he'd stay at Misaki's until it was time for swim practice. Misaki nearly squealed with delight at the thought of Rin staying here with her. She wasn't sure why but the thought of not being around Rin now made her stomach twist. Also as long as Rin was around Misaki could ignore the nagging guilt that was trying to creep up on her.
Misaki found it crazy how easily her and Rin could act like a couple. They both had the ability to ignore the harsh reality of their situation and simply enjoy each other's company. After Rin showered the pair enjoyed a gourmet breakfast of Lucky Charms before settling down on the couch. There Misaki made Rin watch the first few episodes of American Horror Story season 1 on Netflix. The entire time Rin kept looking over at Misaki and mumbling "you actually like this kind of stuff?"
When they were kids Misaki was really into Disney princess movies. It was all she ever watched and Rin was very aware of that fact. That's why he found it ridiculous how much her viewing patterns had changed. Now she watched things like Teen Mom and American Horror Story- things that would make Cinderella cringe. Rin was quick to express this to Misaki who could only laugh.
"I still have my Little Mermaid costume from that year we went trick or treating together," Misaki said as she paused the show- not wanting Rin to miss any of it.
"And the stupid red wig?"
"It wasn't stupid."
"It was stupid."
"I think you should have gone as a shark….ah!" Eyes lit up as Misaki pulled her legs up onto the couch in order to sit on them and face Rin.
"No," the male said before Misaki could even say anything.
"You don't even know what I'm thinking!"
"Yes I do and it's not gonna happen."
Misaki's hands reached out and landed on Rin's thigh, "You already have the teeth for it. Oh my gosh you could be the shark from Finding Nemo this Halloween!"
"Bruce?"
"Yeah!" Misaki's hands flew up into the air, nearly hitting Rin in the face, "Bruce! And I can be Dory!"
"No you'd be the one with the jacked up fin."
"You mean Nemo?"
"No, no the other one. The one in the tank at the dentist's office."
"….Harold?"
"What? Why the fuck would his name be Harold!?"
Misaki shook her head left and right, pointing her finger at Rin's face, "You're getting me off topic!"
"Good," Rin huffed, sinking lower into the couch.
With a groan of frustration Misaki's shoulder slumped forward though they were quick to roll back as another thought came to mind, "Have your teeth gotten any sharper?"
Rin quickly swatted away Misaki's hand which was heading straight for his mouth, "How the hell would I know?"
"You don't touch them?"
"Do you touch your teeth?"
"I would if they were sharp and pointy."
Misaki could tell that she was agitating the male from the way his lips had turned downwards and his eyebrows had knitted together. His arms were crossed over his chest while his eyes were focused on the screen which was still paused. Misaki knew that she shouldn't do it, but her hand had a mind of its own. Slowly, ever so slowly, she began moving her extended index finger towards Rin's mouth. The tip of her tongue was visible as she lightly held it between her teeth in an effort to aide her concentration. She was nearly at his lips when he turned his head and glared.
Without much thought Misaki pushed her hand forward. The pad of her index finger made contact with the front of a hard, slimy tooth. Any celebration at having touched Rin's teeth was short lived as Misaki soon found herself lying flat on her back with Rin towering over her.
"Who just puts their finger in someone else's mouth!?" The male shouted, his hands grasping onto Misaki's wrist and pinning them above her head.
"You're yelling," Misaki pointed out, her ears tingling from the volume of Rin's voice and his proximity to her face.
"Damn right I'm yelling because you jammed your dirty finger into my mouth!"
"I wash my hands all the time!"
"I don't care!"
Misaki looked up to see Rin placing both her wrists together and then wrapping his left hand around them. "W-what are you doing?"
"Payback."
The devilish look in Rin's eyes let Misaki know that she was not about to enjoy this. She tried to kick her legs but Rin was sitting on her thighs and limiting her movement. Any upper body squirming was held to a minimum by the hand that was grasping onto her wrists. With wide eyes Misaki watched as Rin lifted up her shirt until her stomach was visible. A scream of laughter came spilling out as Rin placed his lips onto her belly and blew causing a loud blubbering noise that accompanied her laughter.
"Ah! No! Rin! Ah that tickles!" Misaki's laughter made her stomach contract with pain as she tried desperately to get out of Rin's grasp. She could hear the male snickering as he blew on her stomach again.
He was about to do it again until the ringing of the doorbell caused both teens to become silent. "Misaki! I know you're home! I hear you laughing!"
"Shit," Misaki took advantage of Rin's distracted state and quickly pushed the male off of her.
"Is that-" smack. Misaki's hand landed over Rin's mouth as she sat on her knees and leaned in towards him.
"It's Azami," Misaki whispered, her breath hitting the tip of Rin's nose, "And you have to hide. Or leave."
The perturbed look in Rin's eyes let the female know that he wasn't a fan of either of those ideas. Slowly Misaki peeled her hand away from his mouth. "I'm not hiding," he growled lowly as the doorbell rang once more.
"Then you're leaving," Misaki stood up and grabbed Rin's wrists and attempted to pull him to his feet. Rin complied and slipped on his jacket and shoes before heading towards the front door.
"No!" Misaki whispered loudly, grabbing Rin's arms, "You have to go out the back."
"Tch….fine."
Rin wasn't very happy as Misaki basically shoved him into her backyard. "Climb the fence; go through the shrubbery you'll come out near the end of the block."
"This is fucking ridiculous," Rin snarled, turning to look at the high fence he was apparently supposed to climb.
"I know but you kind of have to get a move on," Misaki noticed the glare Rin sent her way, though it didn't stop her from trying to rush him away from her home, "I'll text you later okay?"
"Yeah yeah whatever," Rin mumbled as he began moving towards the fence and with a little effort managed to haul himself over it.
The doorbell had been ringing nonstop for the past minute. If that wasn't enough to annoy Misaki then her friend's shouting certainly did. As Misaki was sprinting towards the door she stopped to check her phone. No new texts. Which was odd considering Azami never came over without at least texting Misaki first. Plus what was the blonde doing here at two p.m. on a Monday? Usually on Monday's Azami had to take her little sister to dance practice at three. The whole thing seemed odd but Misaki could barely think with the doorbell's constant ringing.
As the door swung open a cheeky grin lit up Azami's face, "Oh there you are."
Misaki watched as Azami entered her house and walked into the living room, "Come in," the noirette mumbled.
"This show is so weird," Azami's eyes were on the TV which was paused on American Horror Story, "Was this what was making you laugh?"
"Don't you have to take your sister to dance practice?" Misaki changed the subject as she shut the TV off.
"Yup," Azami popped the 'p', her eyes looking around the room, "Thought you could come with me."
"You could have asked before just showing up."
"Whoops," Azami began walking out of the living room and moving towards the stairs, "I brought that sweater I borrowed from you; I'll just put it on your bed."
Misaki wasn't sure why Azami didn't just give her the sweater. Or throw it on the couch. It certainly would have been easier than trekking up the stairs only to come down a minute later, "So," Azami began, "Wanna come with me?"
The honest answer would have been 'no' because the noirette really didn't feel like going out today. But with Rin gone all she would be doing was sitting on her couch missing him. "Sure," she shrugged, "Let me just get my shoes from upstairs."
Blue eyes watched as the girl began moving up the stairs. Once out of sight Azami dug her phone out of her back pocket. Perfectly polished nails clicked on the screen as she waited for the messaging app to open before typing in her message. 'no one else was here'
'You're sure?'
'yeah can u tell me what this was about'
'No. And you cannot tell Misaki-chan or else I will not give you Rin-san's number.'
Azami rolled her eyes at the perfect capitalization and punctuation. Eyes looked over towards the stairs to make sure Misaki wasn't coming back down. 'fine fine just give me the number'
'You are not allowed to tell Misaki-chan where you got the number from.'
'yes i get it just give me my future husbands number already'
Azami nearly let out a squeal as the seven digit number popped up on her screen. The promise of Rin's number was enough to get Azami to basically spy on her best friend. Yes, the blonde found it odd that Rei wanted to know if Misaki was home alone. Though Azami had learned to not expect much normalcy from the glasses wearing boy. There had been a string of break ins a few blocks away from Misaki's house, so maybe Rei was just worried about Misaki being home alone. Maybe Rei was trying to find Makoto and couldn't and thought he'd be with Misaki. Azami really had no clue but she also really didn't care. The deed was done, no one got hurt, Azami would soon forget about it because now she had Rin's number.
"What's with the smile?"
Misaki watched as Azami jumped and stuffed her phone back into her pocket, "Nothin," the blonde grinned looking way too giddy for having to take her sister to dance practice.
"Sure," the word dripped with sarcasm as Misaki finished descending the stairs. Something was definitely up. Azami usually didn't have that look on her face unless something really really good had happened. And that something normally had to do with a guy.
Eyes narrowed at the blonde as Misaki tried to figure out what could have possibly happened. Perhaps a guy asked her out. Or she talked to cute guy at the mall today. It really could be anything and Misaki didn't feel like guessing. Instead she stayed silent and followed Azami out of the house and as soon as she took a step outside Misaki instantly wished she was with Rin rather than with her bouncy chatterbox of a friend.
Author's Note: Bumbum buuuuum! Thoughts about why Rei is having Azami spy on Misaki? Thoughts on the chapter? I've really loved reading through your guy's reviews. It makes a huge difference in my motivation to write so thank you guys so much.
Pinkychick1: Yay! I'm happy you liked it!
Ember: I'll probably include more smut and thanks so much for your comment. I was kinda worried about posting the last chapter just cause I had no idea if it was good or not so it was nice to read your review.
HellOnTheEngine: I did try hard to not make it all nasty and such so I'm happy that I accomplished that goal. Also...totally told you your idea would show up in some way in this story (aka your review from chapter 8). And everything with work/life/school is going well though finals are coming up so it's getting a little stressful but not too bad
Guest: I totally plan on having more moments between them :)
Mini: This chapter was kind of fluffy I suppose, did you like it? And yes most likely there shall be more smut in the future!
miss a: Yes yes it was my first time writing smut which makes your review so special to me! You really liked it that much!? And oh my gosh I wish I could update everyday. With the increase in reviews I've been working harder to get these updates out quickly but with school I can't always update as fast as I want. And you'd probably take better care of Makoto that Misaki is at the moment!
