"You are the lilacs whose petals travel gracefully in the wind. The beautiful lilacs of the first day of spring. You are the lilacs in my spring."
Nails digging into bedsheets, the faint sound of panting was heard. She didn't know how it happened. Celestia was on her back, completely naked in front of Sayaka, legs wrapped around the idol's waist as the blue-haired girl thrusted into her with a strap-on. It all started a few days later after her date with Kirigiri on the weekends. She went over to Sayaka's place to help her with her studies, which it then escalated to the very situation they were in.
It felt insanely good for Celestia. A different sensation, but still good in general. Her lips were currently sealed and captive under Sayaka's, her moans restrained. The slapping noises were embarrassing, and Celestia knew well enough that restraining or at least, attempting to keep her voice down would end up in failure. She learned well thanks to Kirigiri.
Not much was said besides the grunts, groans and cries of pleasure that echoed in the room. When Celestia had given her climax to Sayaka, crying with the last bit of her energy, she kept her arms and legs to herself. Her body and breath hitched and shuddered as she felt the penetrating object leave her body. Sayaka on the other hand was out of breath, constantly panting. The idol had detached herself of the strap-on, gently throwing it to the side. The thud was heard, but both could care less after what had happened.
"Leon's stupid gift for me for my birthday was well worth it," Sayaka chuckled, laying beside Celes, "Despite how it was a joke gift, it came in handy because I got to use it for the one I love."
Her face extremely red, Celes had given a grunt before turning her back on Sayaka, eyes now examining the pastel-colored room filled with magazines, posters and other cute objects. The idol's soft giggle was heard, and Celes had felt an arm wrap around her, pulling her closer to the other naked body. Sayaka had trailed kisses along the lolita's neck, where she sighed in response.
They had spent a few more moments in each other's embrace before Celestia had departed without much to say besides an "I love you." Each day that has passed, Celestia grew more affectionate for both of them. She kept to herself most of the time, occasionally letting her affection slip out in front of them. It wasn't often. At school, she would act like a complete stranger to both of them, but many knew her well enough that she would have needed to have an interest and trust in a person for them to hold her hand, let alone lean their head on her shoulder.
She had embraced Kirigiri in her own room on a Friday of the same week. It was heated, yet filled with love. However, this time, Celes was the one to dominate Kirigiri, who reminded her of how she was the one to be pleased this time around. Kirigiri gave no complaints and accepted whole-heartedly. She teased the black-haired girl by being mostly unresponsive, which frustrated Celestia quite a bit.
Just like Sayaka, not much was said after, and Kirigiri left shortly after. Celestia drowned in her own thoughts for the night. She scowled at herself before forcing herself onto her own laptop to where Nanami Chiaki had messaged her if she wanted to play with her, Leon and Naegi. Celestia messaged the other girl back, accepting the request. She was then soon invited into a skype group conversation.
They were practically playing League of Legends, and the furious clicking of the mouse was heard. Celestia didn't understand why she even played the game with her other friends. Especially with Leon, who was screeching in rage from being killed within a small time frame.
"Celes! I needed you to heal me!" cried Leon, soon sighing in defeat.
"There's a thing called cooldown Kuwata-kun. Also, I have never played this champion before," Celes replied, still rapidly clicking her mouse to navigate.
"We've lost a turret," Naegi interrupted, "And I just died."
"It's fine, we're mostly winning," Nanami interjected, calm and composed.
Nanami being the Super High School Level Gamer, none would complain much due to her superb gaming abilities. The game continued and Celes had forgotten the nasty thoughts that plagued her mind. She was thankful at least, she had something to do with her friends on her spare time if she wasn't gambling. She had played a few more rounds with Nanami, Naegi and Leon before calling it a night.
When her birthday came, which was on a Saturday, Celestia had made her way to Kirigiri's place, who greeted her by kissing her lightly. Kirigiri had given her some tea in the bright, early morning. Kirigiri had wished her a happy birthday, Celes giving her thanks in return. Both girls spent quality time catching up and discussing about random topics.
Kirigiri standing up from her seat, stood beside Celes, bending down to give her an affectionate peck on the cheek. Celes placed the tea cup onto the plate in front of her, standing up to kiss Kirigiri on the lips. Kirigiri keeping her lips locked onto Celes, took a quick look around before pushing Celes to the nearest wall, pinning her against it, lips and tongue craving for warmth and touch. Celes hated herself for being affectionate with someone so easily, but she couldn't lie to her heart that she didn't want more of it. She played along with Kirigiri, her expression containing its usual poker face. She kept her composure when Kirigiri slid a hand up her shirt, gently trailing her hand up to her breast, slipping under the bra to massage the mound. Her body warmed up immediately, but she held her ground.
Kirigiri snaked her hand out of Celes' shirt, to give a quick peck on the lips before getting onto her knees. She placed her mouth onto the fabric under Celestia's skirt, breathing gently against it, her lips teasing the sensitive area. Breath shaky, face plastered with a red tint, Celes spread her legs apart, allowing Kirigiri to continue her acts. She felt the fabric slide off, and she lifted her leg up for Kirigiri to pull the clothing off, placing it to the side. She was now in full view in front of Kirigiri who used her tongue to flick at the tiny bulb that glistened with her essence.
It didn't take long for Celes to whine and groan from the pleasure that erupted in her body. Both her hands were placed on Kirigiri's shoulders, her nails digging into the soft fabric underneath them. "K-Kyouko…dear…" Celes moaned, eyes closed, mouth open, her breathing heavier, "I wouldn't be able to stand if this keeps up."
"Hold onto me," Kirigiri responded, her mouth still on the sensitive flesh.
"H-have the decency to n-not talk while you're at it!" Celes cried in pleasure, her grip tightening.
Kirigiri smiled as she continued to please her girlfriend. It didn't take very long for Celes to reach her climax, her legs trembling. Kirigiri sat down with her legs to the side, watching Celes slide down the wall, legs apart. Waiting for the girl to recover, Kirigiri slid closer, pulling the girl in a gentle, but tight hug. She gently breathed in the perfume Celes had used, enjoying the smell mixed with her own scent. The raven-haired girl was too tired to move, and remained in her position. Her heart pounded in her chest. "Kirigiri-san," mumured Celes, as she nuzzled her head into Kirigiri's neck, "You are the lilacs whose petals travel gracefully in the wind. The beautiful lilacs of the first day of spring. You are the lilacs in my spring."
Kirigiri wrapped her arm around the pale girl's waist, "I'm flattered dear Taeko. My analogy for you is that you are the beautiful undying red rose who blossoms in my heart. Whose petals are soft and elegant as silk themselves. You are the eternal red rose who captured my entire heart. I will be unable to know what life is if I were to ever lose you."
Celes quietly groaned in response, happy with what she had heard. She yawned and Kirigiri shifted her body, "Do you need some rest?"
Celes nodded before feeling herself being lifted. She realized her panties were on the floor still, and she quickly got out of Kirigiri's arms to acquire back her underwear. She put them on before Kirigiri lifted her once more, bridal style, cheerfully up into her room. Celes was gently thrown onto the bed, Kirigiri jumping and landing next to her. Both chuckled lightly before tangling their legs and arms together, snuggling together as both slowly drifted off for their small nap.
The sound of vibrating was heard. Celes opened her scarlet-colored eyes to untangle herself as gently as possible without waking Kirigiri up. She sat at the edge of the bed, pulling her phone out from her shirt pocket. It had been an hour and half since she had fallen asleep. She checked her phone messages to find that Sayaka had messaged her. Her eyes scanning the message, her fingers tapped the screen to give her reply. Shuffling was then heard, an arm wrapped around her lower torso.
"Did I wake you up?" Celes asked, her eyes still on her phone screen.
"No," Kirigiri muttered, her face buried into the lower back of Celes, "I just felt cold and empty without my rose flower."
Celes giggled lightly. She had spent a few more moments with Kirigiri before declaring that she had other business to attend to. Kirigiri had stuffed her hands with a small, neatly wrapped box. Celes accepted the gift and quickly left after giving Kirigiri a quick kiss. The birthday girl didn't go back to her place. Instead, she went to Sayaka's place, who was the one that messaged her during her warm nap with Kirigiri. She was greeted warmly and happily, the idol had launched herself onto Celes, giving her a tight squeeze before exclaiming "Happy birthday!"
Sayaka had prepared a romantic lunch date. She had decorated her kitchen a tad fancy before she had asked Celes to come over to be with her. Celes admired the idol's attempts to fit her style. She had found everything about Sayaka to be adorable. They ate together, many times they fed each other.
Celestia was happy. Truly happy for once. She understood the concept of love being equal to happiness. She enjoyed every moment with Kirigiri and Sayaka. She knew both were happy being by her side as well regardless of the atmosphere she gave most of the time. She embraced Sayaka when they finished their lunch date. She allowed the girl to do whatever she desired to her, simply because she was happy with whatever she did.
They had moved to the living room, and they were on the floor kissing passionately. Sayaka had slid her hand into Celes' panties, fingering inside of her, receiving small moans of pleasure. Little did Celestia know, that she had lilac strands of hair on her from earlier today, nor did she care due to her situation. Sayaka roughened her acts immediately. She had noticed the lilac strands, knowing very well that they belonged to Kirigiri. She had said nothing. She didn't want to jump to conclusions nor ruin the birthday girl's day. It did however, put doubt into the idol's heart.
When their sexual encounter finished, Sayaka cleaned up, giving herself some space for herself. Celestia tidied up herself, to soon rest up on the couch. Sayaka arrived shortly after, before placing herself on the couch across from Celes. There was silence and Celes watched Sayaka's expression turn sour. She didn't ask, knowing Sayaka well enough that she would merely shrug it off.
"You know, Celes-san," Sayaka suddenly breaking the silence, "You mean a lot to me. I love you very much, and if you were to disappear, I'd be very very sad. Broken even."
Celes raised an eyebrow. What was this all of a sudden? The scarlet-eyed girl stared, where red clashed with blue. "Maizono-san. You mean a lot to me as well. You are equivalent to the sunshine on the darkest days. You bring warmth and light in my life, and I love you for that. You are my sunshine. I hate to admit all of this, but, never take my sunshine away."
Sayaka smiled. Her smile destroying the doubt that built up in her body. She felt happy about Celes admitting her feelings to her. In fact, it made her feel important and needed. Feeling better, she bonded with Celes with all the time she had, catching up on each other's lives.
The next school day, Celes was bombarded with gifts from her friends. Her locker was filled with presents and cards, and she groaned to herself that she would have to take this all home. Regardless it was a pleasant day. She had ran into Kirigiri in an empty hallway, where they both shared an affectionate kiss. They separated after, and Celes glared at Junko who had a sinister grin on her lips. The model waved and left without a word, and Celes continued her way to her class.
Junko however, had ran into Sayaka moments later after her waving to the gothic girl. Sayaka greeted Junko, but the model merely grinned. It bothered the idol a tad bit, simply because the twin pig-tailed girl rarely grinned.
"Say Maizono, how's your relationship with Celestia?" Junko asked all of a sudden, manipulating the situation.
"It's great actually. Why do you ask?" the idol replied, tilting her head to the side.
"Upupupu! I just saw Celestia kissing Kirigiri! So lovely aren't they?"
Sayaka's eyes widened in shock. "That isn't something to joke about Enoshima-san. Especially around me."
Junko choked out a laugh, "Do you really think I'd go as far as spread lies about what I see? Surely we all know I joke around and I am cruel. All for despair! But this time, I'm doing you a favor Maizono. I'm letting you know because I'm just that nice sometimes! Upupupu~"
Sayaka looked down, her face expressionless, yet her heart ached from a sudden stinging sensation. Her thought process was interrupted when the bell rang for class to start. Junko had given her a rough nudge with her elbow before stalking off cheerfully down the hallways. Sayaka made her way to her class without a word. Normally she would run if she were late, but this time, she could care less. The feeling plagued her for the rest of the day, and when the final bell rang, she immediately barged out and tracked Celestia down. She had found the black-haired girl at her locker.
"Celestia," Sayaka answered, her tone grim, "We need to talk."
The other girl turned around and gave a nod. Her stoic expression not explaining her reaction to the sudden need for a talk. The two headed out together, standing in an isolated area. Sayaka took a deep breath before she began, "Celestia. Are you cheating on me?"
The other girl stared at her, long and hard. "No. I'm not. Do you think that I would succumb to such sinful acts?" Celes lied.
"Enoshima-san was telling me earlier that you were with Kirigiri. In a non-friendly matter if you get what I'm trying to say," the idol remarked, her hand gripping onto her backpack strap.
"Enoshima-san knows how to get into the skin of others. Who do you believe?"
"I trust both of you. But I doubt you right now Celes. I really do."
"Do you trust your lover or the trickster more?"
Both girls became quiet, and the only sound heard was the sound of other students conversing as they left the school campus as well as the wind that carried the autumn leaves. Sayaka looked down and to the right. Her lips formed a slight frown. "You," she answered after a pregnant silence, "I'm sorry I doubted you. It was wrong of me."
Celes sighed, "It's fine, Maizono-san. At least you clarified with me."
Both girls departed from each other after giving a single farewell. Celes had made a turn around the building to find Junko and Kirigiri conversing. Celes hid behind the wall, peeking out oh so slightly as she eavesdropped. Her gut told her it would be important to listen, even if it was wrong to drop into the conversation of others.
"You're still denying what I'm saying Kirigiri?" Junko's voice very light and innocent.
"I choose to either believe or disbelieve what you say. I disbelieve."
"Is that so? Do you think I would lie and spread nasty rumors on my dear friend about her relationship with Maizono? I state the truth. I, for one pull my pranks in different ways. The others would have my hide, and especially your father if rumors were spread."
"You make a very good point Enoshima-san. Ishimaru-kun would report you and my father would have your end."
"Hey, I'll be nice and tell you. Maizono had told me about her relationship with Taeko Yasuhiro for a while now. I'm just trying to be nice once in a while. You can believe me and take your free ticket out of my despair train, or just ignore me and I can laugh at all three of you because of your pathetic actions."
Junko's lips formed a large smile, and she giggled as Kirigiri clutched her fists together. "Judging from your reaction, I know what the answer is. I've taken up enough of your time, but you've given me my daily dose of despair! Catch you later Miss Detective!"
Junko waved and disappeared, leaving Kirigiri in her frozen position. Celes quietly scowled to herself. She would confront Junko when she had the chance, but right now, she had to approach Kirigiri and take her mind off of this madness.
"Kirigiri-san?" Celes popped out, acting like nothing had happened.
Kirigiri turned around, "Hello, Celestia. I'm surprised you're still here."
Celes shrugged, "I was on my way home actually. Shall we walk together?"
"That would be lovely."
The two walked together, but the atmosphere was tense. Tense with doubt and awkwardness. The two rarely discussed much, let alone hold hands. Celestia forced her hand onto Kirigiri's, her fingers slightly digging into the back of her hand. Kirigiri ignored the feeling, wrapping her hand into Celes' in response, to lessen the tension of the atmosphere. The fork for them to separate came, and Kirigiri gave a small kiss on Celes' forehead before departing without a word. Celes departed without much say as well.
It was unfortunate and Celes knew well. Her lies and gambles she had made for both Sayaka and Kirigiri are about to fall apart. She had to choose one of them, and only one. She was unable to choose because her heart was split in perfect halves. Eventually, both won't believe her words or actions, and she would lose everything. She couldn't afford that.
