He had been death all along. Her doom, the end of her. It had only been fitting that she would feel complete when he was in her. He had been inside of her for so long, afterall.
Minako knew then.
Somehow deep within her, she knew what awaited her. She had told Ryoji as much.
"I'll stay. I can save everyone...except...I think I'll be joining you soon Ryoji. So don't be so sad."
It clashed, the ring and the watch. So she wore them on seperate hands. One was a love she wasn't destined the keep, and the other was a love destined to crush her life. It was so wonderfully fitting. Minako had made so many friends, but now she could not love again. She tried not to.
She couldn't love Bebe.
She couldn't love Hidetoshi.
She couldn't love Akihiko.
And yet somehow he'd made his way into her heart.
He was so peculiar. So odd. But so funny! And he always depended on her. He was the only one out of all of them who could understand the burden. Shinji made her human. Ryoji made her realize her fate and accept it. And Theo had made her remember that she was not alone. And so she took him places like he asked, and she fulfilled his request.
And then one day he realized he'd have to stop. And he told her as much. And her heart ached again, because she'd lose yet another person. She was tired of everyone going. "I don't want this to end!"
And so he'd removed his gloves. His touch was like fire. He was so much older than she was, she knew, he even looked it. Like he was her teacher, but she had been his. Until the moment when he'd undressed her and spread her legs, and then she was learning. His tongue had traced every corner of her pussy and she had never experienced such a thing. She had never been taught.
He made her scream. His look was so intense, like someone who was desperate. He wanted her. So badly. Was it love? She didn't know. She didn't think he knew what love was. That was one of the things he couldn't understand. He took her from behind, and he took her against her floor, and he made her body sticky with pleasure. "Master Minako?" he asked as he moved her body against him and caressed the delicate skin of her nipples. "Yes?" she asked weakly. He whispered into her ear. "Don't give out so soon. You still have much to learn."
And when he was done her knee high socks were still on, and her body was heaving. "I will never forget this," he said as his thank you. She gazed at him from afar. "Never.." His come too, spilled out of her, and they lay in euphoria for awhile longer.
She waved him off after he gave his thanks to her and then she returned to her room. Minako smiled, grateful that if her life was to end soon at least she got to have three great loves within it.
