Stuck With You
There was something incredibly soft pressed against he lips. The softness moved against her lips slowly, and a glorious scent of lavender and something that she couldn't quite place wafted into her nostrils.
Coming out of her dazed stupor, Yumi focused her vision. She saw an Ogasawara Sachiko incredibly close to her face, eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side almost as if she…
Oh. Yumi thought stupidly. She's kissing me.
Realisation then struck her like lightning, and her eyes widened with shock. Oh my stars! Onee-sama is kissing me! She froze, her body so tense that she could have been mistaken for a statue.
I…she began to think, but Sachiko's lips pressed against hers a little harder, and everything faded to the back of her mind as her eyes closed on instinct and she started to kiss her back.
As one of Sachiko's dexterous hands came to rest on Yumi's shoulder, the other went to cradle the back of her neck, pulling the younger girl closer slightly. Yumi obliged, automatically shifting her lithe body so that she was in the raven-haired woman's lap. She slipped an arm around the slender neck in front of her and wove a hand into silk-like locks. Their lips stayed connected.
Yumi sighed contentedly into the kiss. Oh, her lips. Had she only known how good they felt, she would have kissed her a lot sooner. They were as soft as the petals of a rose, as gentle as the caressing breeze of spring, as tender and full of love as the person they belonged to. And still, they were so much more than that.
All too soon, in Yumi's opinion, Sachiko pulled away.
Slowly, Yumi's caramel eyes opened to reveal a stunningly beautiful sight – a heavily blushing Sachiko with lidded eyes, slightly messy hair due to her hand entangled within it, and her breaths coming out in short, silent gasps.
"I… I…" Yumi tried to form coherent speech, "That… that was---"
She never got to finish her sentence, as Sachiko's lips descended onto hers once more. Sparks of electricity raced through Yumi's body, flaring up her cheeks and energizing her lips. She responded with vigour, pressing herself as hard as she could against the older girl, who wrapped her arms around her waist in encouragement.
Bliss filled the younger girl from the core. It was as if she'd died and had gone to paradise, surrounded by lush fields of green and rivers of blue, with Sachiko stood on the top of a hill waiting for her, welcoming her to Heaven.
Again, oxygen got in the way and they pulled apart, breathing heavily.
"Onee-sama…" Yumi breathed, pressing her forehead against a paler one, panting.
Sachiko said nothing, but the arms around her waist and the look of utter adoration in cerulean eyes said it all. It was love.
An incredible kind of warmth filled Yumi as the thought entered her mind, and she closed the distance between them for a brief moment before caressing Sachiko's cheek, marvelling at how she leant into her touch. She trailed her finger down to Sachiko's lip, where she traced the outline of her mouth.
"Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with you," Sachiko murmured, kissing Yumi's finger tenderly.
"You have no idea," Yumi whispered back, before placing her lips where her finger had been.
-X-
After a while the two girls' emotions had calmed down somewhat, and they sat with each other, contentedly playing with each other's fingers. Yumi had a wide smile on her face.
"You're happy," Sachiko noticed with a small grin of her own.
"Of course!" Yumi replied as if the older girl was being ridiculous, "How can I not be?"
Sachiko smiled and squeezed Yumi's hands before she hummed, "To think that you felt the same way…"
"You're happy," Yumi joked, poking Sachiko's cheek.
"Of course, how can I not be?"
They laughed a little, grinning like fools.
"You know, I never let myself dare to think that you would return my feelings," Sachiko admitted lowly, "because if I told you and you didn't feel that way…" she trailed off.
"Then what was the first kiss about?" Yumi asked.
"It was an impulsive act, I couldn't help myself." Sachiko smiled. She seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.
"But you--"
"Sometimes you're far too irresistible for your own good." At this, Yumi's face flushed red, whilst Sachiko grinned and leaned in to kiss her nose. Yumi's eyes crossed as they focused on Sachiko's nearing lips, making the blue-eyed beauty laugh and pull away.
"You're so endearing when you pull that face," Sachiko laughed as Yumi pouted.
"I thought you were going to kiss me!" Yumi protested, turning her head away in mock-offence.
"Like this?" Offered Sachiko as she placed her lips on Yumi's cheek.
"No, silly, like this," hands came to hold Sachiko still as Yumi captured her lips with her own.
It was brief, and when Yumi pulled away Sachiko found herself blindly following her, wanting to feel her lips again. When her eyes opened, Yumi was smirking at her triumphantly.
Sachiko's eyes widened, "That was cruel."
"Well that's what you get for being mean to me." Yumi replied, before poking Sachiko in the cheek. She made to move away, but the older girl wrapped her arms around her waist, pulling her back down.
"And where do you think you're going?" Sachiko asked.
"Um, to my bag?" Yumi replied, eyebrows rising.
"I have not finished kissing you yet." Sachiko declared.
Yumi's face exploded into colour, yet she laughed and kissed the other girl, marvelling at how well Sachiko's lips fit against her own; at how they tasted; at how they applied the perfect amount of pressure, of how soft they were.
"Mm," Yumi murmured after they pulled apart, "I think I'm getting addicted to that."
"You wouldn't get a complaint from me if you were," Sachiko responded, smiling.
Yumi grinned and pressed their lips together once more before standing up and walking to her bag on the other side of the elevator. "I made some cupcakes yesterday, in case we got hungry today." She explained, grabbing a box of cakes out of her shoulder bag.
She went to plop herself next to Sachiko, rather than on top of her, but the other girl pulled her down again, until she was sitting sideways on Sachiko's lap.
"Let me keep you close," Sachiko mumbled, her cheeks turning a little pink, "I don't know when we'll get to do this again."
Yumi gave a sad smile in understanding. Given Sachiko's family and social circumstances, it didn't look likely that there would be much of a future for them…
Her cheerless smile completely disappeared at the thought, and a lump came to her throat. She loved her Onee-sama, more than anyone in the world, yet because they were both girls they couldn't be together. It seemed so unfair.
They couldn't control what gender they were born as, and couldn't control who they loved. How was that their fault? They couldn't do anything about it…
Tears sprung to Yumi's eyes and she looked away sharply. I've cried too much today already, she thought to herself, but that didn't stop the water leaking from her eyes.
"Yumi?" She could hear the concern in Sachiko's velvet voice, "What are you thinking about?"
"I… This… This can never happen again, can it?" Yumi asked, voice trembling.
"You don't want it to?" Sachiko's voice was quiet, almost as if dreading the answer.
"I do!" Yumi protested, "I love you, Onee-sama! But-But you're engaged, you're an Ogasawara, you're inheriting your family's company… Isn't-Isn't that what you meant?" She asked, seeing Sachiko's wide blue eyes.
"Of course not!" Sachiko responded, and Yumi recoiled slightly at her tone, "I thought you would have wanted to keep this low-key for a while. I never meant… Yumi, did you think I would have done what I have if I didn't intend to make this – us – a success?" She desperately took Yumi's cheek in her hand, tracing circles with her thumb.
"What… What are you saying?" Yumi asked quietly, searching Sachiko's eyes.
"I will not marry Suguru-san. Not when I have you in my life like this. Do you understand?" Her voice was pleading.
"You…"
"I won't marry him, Yumi."
Shock registered across Yumi's face as this statement sank in. "You mean…" A dazzling smile started to form on her lips.
Relief spread across Sachiko's face once she knew Yumi understood her, and she continued tenderly caressing Yumi's cheek. "Yumi, I would give up everything for you. My status, wealth… my family. Yumi, you mean more to me than anything else in this world. I love you, I truly, truly do."
"Onee-sama!" Yumi threw her arms around her neck.
Arms immediately went to her back to support her. "I love you," Sachiko whispered into her ear, "more than anything."
Yumi nodded on Sachiko's shoulder, "I… Could you just say it… one more time?"
A soft smile came to Sachiko's face as she spoke, "I love you, Yumi, and I am not marrying Suguru-san. You're too precious to let go."
A smile crept onto Yumi's face as yet more tears came to her eyes. Except this time, they were tears of joy.
Hmm, I need to stop making Yumi cry. But it's just so nice writing Sachiko making her feel better!
Anyway, there is the poll back on my profile. I don't actually know why I took it down, but there we go... There are unlimited votes allowed (I think) this time, and more options to choose from. But, like, don't go choosing all of them cause there would be no point in voting. Lol.
Until the next time,
