Lover's Stash
The weather was getting warmer and warmer in June, Kori felt as if she was going to die of heat stroke. Her pale skin felt as if it was burning as the sunlight shone on her. Maybe coming to the beach was a bad idea, and she's regretting it now. Although she was wearing a yellow tee shirt over that purple swimsuit of hers, the sunlight seemed to penetrate into her skin. She cursed at the weather as Eiri came back with the drinks.
Not long after their first talk at school, they became friends.
Eiri passed Kori her favorite vanilla Coke, pulling a towel over her head in the same time. The girl growled, making the blonde stare at her. Her skin was turning red from the exposure, probably some sunburn since she didn't want to apply the lotion on her skin. The tee shirt she was wearing was long-sleeved and for a pretty good reason too. From what he had noticed from the bare legs, which were so ripped in scars that are long and ripped, he had a feeling that it was going to be worse under that tee shirt of hers.
Noticing the weird expression of the blonde's face, Kori growled in irritation. That guy beside her was pissing her off with those stares from him.
"Damn Eiri, what do you want!" Kori growled in frustration as the heat was getting more into her.
"I'm really sorry but I couldn't help but stare at them." Eiri replied still looking at the scars that surfaced the pale, beautiful and delicate skin.
Kori frowned at the words. She too could not help it but touched the scars that were once wounds from the tortures she had got from her father and herself. It wasn't easy for her to finally quit self-abusing. Being locked up for six months in the mental hospital and facing the shrink everyday finally forced her to quit. The girl never wanted those tortures again ever since she was discharged.
Eiri looked at her eyes in concern, but did not say anything. He lifted the girl up, helping her to stand on her own after making sure she wouldn't faint from the heat. "Come' on let's move to somewhere cooler." He then packed up all their belongings and left for the resort.
------------------------------------
The trip to the resort was a quiet one. Eiri hadn't said anything in the car, making the situation onside really tense that it frightened the girl. The Porsche stopped upon reaching its destination. The blonde led Kori into the resort, showing her around the beautiful bungalow. The place looked so classical, she could not believe that this belonged to the Japanese traditionalists of the Uesugi family. It was such a pity that Ryuichi couldn't come, he would really love the place.
After settling down everything they needed to use for the weekend, dusk arrived at their doorstep. The both of them settled down for a dinner of roast beef. Then, settled down for television after the delicious meal.
Kori wore a beautiful 'forget-me-not' dress. It was again long-sleeved and the dress went all the way down covering her knees. The blonde stared at the girl beneath all the scars; she looked so beautiful and innocent. The girl sat beside the blonde on the couch, pulling up her sleeves as Eiri applied the medication onto her sunburned skin.
"You should have told me that you couldn't stand the fucking sun." Eiri chuckled as Kori frowned at the reddish patch of skin. Eiri rubbed the medication gently, ignoring the scars as hard as he could although it was impossible. There was almost everything on her arms: burn marks, cuts, teeth marks and many slashes of scars that seemed to be made by belt slashing. He never knew she'd gone through so much; Touma seemed to have left out a lot of details.
Kori pulled her arm away once she felt the blonde running his fingers gently on the scars. She held her arms close to her chest and shivered a little, not wanting the blonde to know how weak and stupid she was, as the prove screaming out from her scars.
"Are you okay?" Eiri asked in concern, gently stroking her hair. Blushing as he realized Kori's was looking at him in the eyes. Man, she was just too adorable.
Before she knew what was happening, Kori found her lips taken up into a passionate kiss by a pair of luscious lips. The blonde looked at her into the eyes, passing a pledge of love and concern. Eiri's tongue placed at her bottom lip forcing an entrance into her mouth. Kori opened her cavern and allowed the tongue in as it played a game of catch with hers.
Eiri pinned Kori onto the soft couch underneath them, their lips refusing to separate as they continued to suck at each other's saliva with bruising force. It took a long time for the couple to realize what was actually going on between them.
Kori pushed the blonde away in fear. She knew how he and her felt but she just couldn't bring herself to it.
"I'm sorry Eiri. But, please. Please don't touch me."
Eiri was stuck. Didn't even bothered to return the girl with a 'why'. He just couldn't bring himself to. With that thought, he slowly stood up and moved away from the girl, letting her lie there on the couch staring at the ceiling.
"I'm going to bed, I'll be getting a blanket for you, okay?" He said and left.
Kori sighed in a sort of relieve and turned her body to face in the sofa. Why didn't she want to do it? She couldn't answer. She knew and felt for Eiri, she really loved him from the inside. But why can't she do it?
Eiri must be angry with her now, that's what she assumes. She felt like crying. What if Eiri began to hate her already?
She couldn't think anymore and shut her eyes tight and went to sleep.
Eiri gazed at her from a distant. There was something about that girl that made him really guilty about himself. Touma, did he somehow betrayed him? There was no end to it.
The blonde moved forward to the girl finding her to be sound asleep. Although she was sleeping, there was a slight frown on her face showing that she was quite troubled herself. This made Eiri very guilty, how can he hurt her like that?
Eiri gently set the blanket down on her, slowly wrapping her comfortably into it. Then, with his strong arms, he carried the girl in his arm and brought her to the only bedroom in the house, and laid her on the bed.
Sighing, he left the girl in the room, bringing with him a coat as a blanket.
"Oh shit Touma, what in the hell had happened to her? How in the heck did she become like this?"
--------------------------------------
Kori woke up only to see the red plasma before her on the floor, wordless. Why was she in the washroom anyway? When did she blank out? She couldn't remember anything.
What can she see? She was lying there on the bloody floor with her dress all stained red. The pure, white washroom was vandalized with spills of the red blood all over the floor with trails of hand prints dragged all over the tiles. A silver knife by her side; all bloody and stuff, And a scary looking wound that dragged from her shoulder down to her wrists at her left arm. The cut was not deep but it was bleeding profusingly.
It was compulsive and she felt like puking. Of all the things she hated was blood. She couldn't stand it. Memories kept coming back with it; fear, anger and stupidity.
Kori backed away from the pool of blood, gripping on her own neck in disgust. She did not scream in fear of waking the sleeping guy outside the room. Eiri must not find out this part of her.
She quickly washed up the mess on the floor and cleaned her wound over the sink, looking at the plasma as it flowed into the sink. Wrapping the wound with tissue, as she couldn't find any bandages. She left the washroom and put on some clean clothes before returning to wake the blonde.
She shook the sleeping blonde on the couch and he stirred, not wanting to face the reality from his dreams. He looked so innocent and beautiful, unlike her. With another round of shaking the blonde, Eiri turned a little and woke up.
"Good morning, Kori."
"Good morning." Kori replied reluctantly as the blonde placed his hands onto the wound unknown to him. (N/A: Kori was again wearing long-sleeved clothes.) Kori winced a little at the pain, but made sure the blonde didn't notice the wounds. She laid her head on the blonds shoulder and hicked a sob.
"Why are you crying silly?" Eiri said as he stroked on the girl's head. He was sort of worried that what he did the day before might harm the relationship with the girl. But he didn't want to ask in fear that he might hurt her again.
Suddenly, red patches started to appear on the sleeves. Eiri stood up suddenly and went to get the first aid box, coming back and pulled the sleeves up roughly only to see red tissue paper wrapped over her arm, reeking some metallic smell that started to revolve around the room. Kori struggles and wanted to pull away her hand, giving up only to find that Eiri had a grip too tight for her to break. Kori broke into tears once more as Eiri removed the cover and applied the medication. Not because of pain, but the guilt that was in her.
"Why don't you ask?" Kori blurted out suddenly as Eiri was doing his job of tending the wounds. "Why don't you wanna ask me, Eiri Uesugi?"
Tears flowed down the blonde as he looked at the wound. "I knew," he replied the girl with an undertone which seemed to anger the girl more, "I'm sorry."
A slap went across Eiri's face as the girl cried out loudly. "Bastard!" Kori screamed as she fell back into the warm embrace of Eiri Uesugi, crying her heart out until she fell soundly asleep.
Eiri kissed the sleeping girl once more and whispered into her eyes, "You'll tell us when you want to. Sleep tight Kori, I love you."
End
Edited the chapter and found out about the mistake I made in this story: lemons. It's going too fast and it is too appalling. So, I cut the lemons and replaced everything with a simple content, 'love'. You should find this quite a softer story after the edition of this chapter. Thank you for appreciating.
Love'
