If you chose Nagihiko….
I looked between the four of them with a conflicted mind. What courses could I handle? They all seemed so hard and not anything I would have ever imagined myself studying. The room was pretty silent as they all awaited my answer. Also who could I stand? I mean they were all nice and interesting…well except Ikuto. He's pretty cold towards me. I don't know who to choose… Finally I mentally did a game in my head. Who helped me the most? Who seemed to be the most fun? The answer was clearly Nagihiko. Plus the tour around the school with him was so much fun. I had a feeling that if I help him, I would have many more fun experiences. Furthermore, he helped me when someone was about to mug me. Who knows, if he wasn't there, maybe there would have been more than a mugging.
"Nagi, I'd like to help you." I said with my head slightly bowed.
"Really?" All of them exclaimed at once.
"Why him?" Ikuto whined.
"I'm sure you'll do a good job!" Tadase said with a hint of disappointment.
"Darnit! I really wanted some help.." Kukai pouted.
"Thank you so much!" Nagihiko said in a gleeful tone. "You don't know how much this means to me!"
"It's no problem! I mean you helped me before when I first came to Kyoto!"
"Anyone would have helped you if they saw what was happening!" Nagihiko replied.
"What happened?" Ikuto asked, suddenly interested.
"Some shady guy was trying to mug Amu-chan."
"What?" Tsukasa said. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's no big deal! Nagi came before anything bad happened!" I waved my hands in front of me.
"Good thing Fujisaki was there!" Kukai added.
"Who knows what could have happened…" Tadase said.
"Well, what more could you expect from this guy?" Ikuto asked giving Nagihiko's hair a ruffle.
"Hahaha!"
They all stared at me as I laughed.
"What?"
"You have a nice laugh." Nagihiko said.
"Erm..thanks.."
"Awh look, she's blushing!" Ikuto smirked.
"Shut up!" I yelled and hit him playfully,
"Now look!" Nagihiko said evenly. "Ikuto is trying to flirt!"
"With this kid?" He scoffed. "Wouldn't dream of it."
Now I really punched him.
"OW!"
"Hmph." Was all I said.
"Shouldn't you tell her about what she's going to help you with?" Tsukasa cut in.
"Right…right." Nagihiko said with a chuckle. "Amu-chan, would you like to see the night life here in Kyoto?"
"The night life?"
"Yes." He winked. "I know the best party places."
Choice A: Yes!
Choice B: …Erm
Choice C: No...
Choice A Outcome:
Without hesitation I replied, "Yes!"
The mention of a nightlife made me excited. I was never allowed to go out at night back in Nemuro!
"Then shall we go?" Nagihiko offered me his hand.
"Be safe you two!" Tsukasa says.
"Use protection if things get a little too fun." Ikuto smirked.
Aruto hit him on the head.
"Have fun!" Kukai said, giving me the thumbs up.
"Take care." Tadase says.
Nagihiko put down some money for our drinks and put on his red hollister sweater. It contrasted nicely with his indigo hair.
Choice B Outcome:
A night life in Kyoto?
"Erm…"
I mean it wasn't an obscene thought, but something was telling my body to stay put.
"What's wrong?" Nagihiko asked.
"I don't know if I want to.."
"She's scared to be out at night." Ikuto teased.
"I wouldn't blame her!" Nagihiko snapped. "After that guy tried to mug her.."
He turned his gaze back at me.
"Amu-chan, if you just want to stay here it's ok."
"No..No." I felt guilty, he looked really disappointed about not going.
"So?"
"I'll go." I smiled shyly at him. "I mean, I'll have to see this side of Kyoto sometime, right?"
"Yeah, you're right." His expression was flooding with relief.
"How far is it from here?"
"Not very far depending on what you want to see." He winked at me and paid for our drinks.
"If you say so.."
"You'll have fun, I promise." His smile was hard to refuse.
"Ok.."
With that everyone said good bye and we were out the door.
Choice C Outcome:
"No.." I said, my voice being mouse quiet.
"Why not?" Nagihiko was obviously disappointed with my answer.
"I don't think I could handle being out there at this time.."
I shuddered at the memory of the man holding my wrists that first night..
Nagihiko seemed to understand and held my shoulders.
"Please, if you go with me I promise nothing bad will happen to you again."
I searched his eyes. They seemed very sincere.
"I don't know.."
"Amu, you'll have fun." Ikuto said simply. "Now get out of here."
"Fujisaki knows how to take care of someone, you're in good hands." Kukai gave me the thumbs up.
"Plus, where he is taking you is completely secure!" Tadase offered.
"I wouldn't let you go out if I thought you would be in danger." Tsukasa added.
I looked between all the men in the room and finally agreed.
"Yes!" Nagihiko exclaimed.
"I guess we should go then.." I put down some money for my drink.
Nagihiko took it and put down his own money.
He shoved the money into my hand, "Tonight, it's all on me."
Everyone said their good byes and Nagihiko held the door open for me.
Continuation:
The early evening breeze was nice and felt relaxing on my face. Nagihiko and I walked side by side in contented silence as we listened to the sounds of the city. Kyoto was alive and moving. Many young couples were walking hand in hand or making out in an alley. Drunkards were already prowling and the neon lights were blazing.
"It's quite a site, isn't it?" Nagi commented.
"Much more lively."
"What's it like in Nemuro?"
"A lot more open land, not a lot of city lights to look at at night."
"That sounds nice.."
"It can be. But the town is always so quiet. The only time it's ever loud is when new years comes along or a festival."
"It seems very cozy to be there."
"More like trapped." I sighed.
"Did you hate it there that much?"
"I don't know.." I looked up at the sky.
Normally I could see stars, but now it was too bright. All I could make out were stray whisky clouds and the moon.
"Nothing new ever happened. It was clock work."
"Obviously, It isn't like that here." Nagihiko shrugged. "But that seems like a good feeling to have, To know how your day will play out."
"That's a good point, but it leaves a bland taste in your mouth."
"We're almost there." He held out his.
"What?"
"You'll need to hold my hand to get through this part of the route."
"A-Alright." I took his hand and he took me through a narrow alleyway.
The farther down we go the less people I see. It was getting darker and I could barely see in front of me. It surprised me how gracefully he moved in the dark.
"Just step where I step." His voice was quiet, but gentle.
"Ok."
"Just a little more, and we're there."
I saw a door illuminated by a lamp come into view. There were people going in and out of the door continuously.
"We're here."
He eyed my outfit.
"Can you dance?"
"Dance?"
"Yeah, that's really important."
"I'm ok at it.." I say. "Took a ton of ballet."
"Well, you'll need those graceful skills right now."
"Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?" H asked playfully. "I'm going to ask you to dance with me."
"Dance with you?" I blushed instantly.
I've only dance with a guy twice.
"Yes, will you?"
""Sure, but I'm pretty stiff."
"We'll see about that."
We headed towards the door and waited for someone to open it.
"Nagihiko, my man!" The person said and high fished Nagihiko.
"Hey there, Daru."
"Who's the pretty lady?"
"My dance partner for the evening." He winked at Daru.
"Well, I look forward to seeing the two of you dance." Daru said with a boyish grin.
"Same here." Nagi looked back at me. "This will be our first dance."
"Oooh. You're in the modo for a romance, eh?"
"Don't start." Nagi groaned.
Daru let us pass and we entered a whole new world. The room was bouncing and vibrating from the music that was playing. The whole floor was clean except for a few coolers and a couple of chairs. None of which were occupied. Everywhere I looked people were dancing. It wasn't just regular dancing either, these people moved their bodies in professional ways. Ways I didn't even think were possible. Nagihiko's eyes were twinkling with excitement.
"I'm gonna dance for a bit." He said. "You should warm up."
"O-ok." I watched him leave and mingle with a few dancers.
Almost immediately he was at the center of the room tutting with a few other guys, one of which being Daru, the three of them moved gracefully and skillfully, Not missing one beat of the song that was playing. To think, it was all freestyles. I sucked in my breath as Nagi backflipped in the area and head spun.
Then A song by BIGBANG started to play and all the dancers started to move the same way. I watched in awe as they all got lost in the music. Each one of them had a moment for a solo and each solo was just as amazing as the first. Nagihiko came back to me a half hour later with a bottle of water in hand.
Choice A: Praise him.
Choice B: "What am I supposed to do?"
Choice A Outcome:
"That was…WAS…AMAZING!" I burst out.
Nagi laughed at my reaction.
"How…you guys were…" I couldn't even find the words to express how I felt.
"You liked watching us that much?"
"Yes! Yes!" I was pressed up in front of him.
My hands that were folded together were touching his chest.
"I've never seen such incredible dancing before!"
"Why don't you try it?"
"Me…with you guys?" I looked at the party around me. "You're joking right."
"Come on, it's easy!"
"FOR YOU!" I gestured around. "You guys were born for this."
"Come on." He held my hands against his chest. "Dance with me."
I blushed and let him lead me on to the dance floor.
Choice B Outcome:
I felt embarrassed for even stepping foot in here. How could I even think about dancing when such wonderful professionals were strutting their stuff? I would offend them with my amueter dancing!
"What's wrong?" He asked after chugging down the bottle.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Here?"
"Yes."
"Dance with me."
"I couldn't!" I yelped. "I suck and you guys rock."
"So?"
"Wouldn't I mess up the atmosphere?"
"No one cares." Nagi said. "As long as you enjoy yourself."
"But.."
"Just move your body the way you want to."
"I just know the basic moves like jerking or the moonwalk."
"That fine."
"I always step on my partner's feet."
"That ok."
"I've only danced with a partner twice."
"Practice makes perfect."
"You won't let me say no?"
His face was now three inches away from mine.
"What do you think?" Was there a hint of seduction in his voice?
He led me onto the dance floor as a new song played.
Continuation:
The music was slowing and all the dancers were switching to contemporary dances. They moved flawlessly and gracefully even though their moves weren't very fast or extreme.
"Let's start out with something easy.." Nagihiko suggested.
"And what is your definition of easy?" I teased.
"Ball room style?"
"I can live with that." I smiled and took his hand in mine as he put the other at my back.
Nagihiko led me through simple side steps and rocking steps. We had a considerable distant between our bodies as we moved to the beat. His eyes were locked on mine and I wasn't distracted my anyone else in the room. I bended and reached back with my leg as we moved into a fox trot.
"You're a fine dancer." Nagihiko complimented me.
"Don't jinx it now!" I quipped.
My posture was perfect now as my core was being simulated by the dance. Soon enough we moved back into a waltz with fast box steps. Having my body close to Nagihiko's was comforting and relaxing. After awhile Nagihiko and I needed a break. We walked back outside and sat at a bench under a street lamp. Already I was so comfortable with Nagihiko that it was natural for me to rest my head on his shoulder. He treated it as if nothing was happening.
"So, what am I supposed to help you with?" I asked, breaking our silence.
"Amu-chan, do you think I'm a good dancer?"
"Yes! Most definitely!"
"Well…someone very important to me doesn't think so."
"Who?"
"My mother." His voice was hollow.
He continued his story.
"I'm one of the only men in my family that had athletic skills. In fact I'm being scouted for a very popular basketball team. Therefore my parents saw to it my education and training was centered around basketball." He sighed as he placed my head back on his shoulder. "But I also found a love in dancing. My mother refused to let me cut my basketball time and forbade me from straying off the path she set for me."
"So where do I come in?"
"I want you to enter a national competition with me."
"WHAT?" I sat up immediately. "Do you have a fever or something?"
" . It's just, if I make it to the top three, I can persuade my mother to reconsider my career choices."
"Why does your mother have so much control over your life?"
"She's the head of the family. Whatever she says goes."
"That's not right, though."
"My twin sister, Nadeshiko, is a dancer."
"I see.."
"One of the very best actually." His voice dropped a little.
"But I'm not a professional dancer!" I tried to make him see the light. "Why not one of your dancer friends?"
"They don't want to go national and are too busy to even think about penciling in all the needed practice time a competition requires."
"I see..but.."
"Amu-chan, I really need you!" He looked at me with such honest eyes. "Please, help me!"
"I.."
"Please.."
"I already said I would help you, didn't I?"
Nagi embraced me immediately and refused to let go.
"You have no idea how much this means to me!"
"It's no problem, really."
He kissed the top of my head.
"I swear, I'll repay you somehow, someday!"
"Hhaha…so when is the contest?"
"Two months from now."
"That's no.."
"Be prepared for brutal practices.."
"I'm game!"
"Long nights of studying."
"Either way that would happen."
"And being up close and personal 24/7."
"Isn't that what's happening now?"
Nagihiko stopped talking and observed our position. We were sitting pretty closely that our bodies were pretty much connected. My left hand was on his right leg and his arm was around me. He bumped my head that was still resting on his shoulder.
"You've got a point."
He nudged me off and stood up.
"Let's go." He offered me his hand.
I took it and dusted myself off.
This time down the alley, I didn't hold his hand which made going through that place a hundred times harder. Once we were out, Nagihiko warned me about the slippery road.
"Watch where you step." He said harshly.
I did so, but still slipped. Nagihiko saw it coming and caught me almost instantly.
"You are impossible." He groaned as he helped me up.
This only succeeded in bringing the both of us to the ground. Nagihiko was on top of me and I groaned as his weight pressed into me. No one was out at this time, to was near one in the morning. We were both silent as he lifted himself up on all fours. He smirked at me and eyed me up and down.
"W-what?"
"You're really cute, do you know that?"
"Erm.."
"So helpless too…" He sighed. "Kinda makes me want you a little more."
"More?"
"Yes, more. You're kinda hard not to want." He teased.
Nagihiko lowered his face closer to mine and kiss my forehead to tease me more. He stared longingly at my lips.
"Can't I have a kiss?" He asked quietly.
My head was whirling with thoughts of the last time we kissed. It was stupid and insane to think he wanted to kiss me again. Nagi was simply teasing, right? But I couldn't deny I wanted his lips on mine again. His kisses were the kind that left you wanting more, a whole lot more.
What was I going to do? He was waiting for an answer.
Choice A: Kiss him.
Choice B: turn head away.
Choice C: Speechless
(Each lead to a different ending)
Choice A Outcome:
I couldn't stand how seductive he was being right now! His facial expressions and the way he was teasing my body was unbearable. I didn't know what to do. But I know one thing for sure, I really wanted to kiss him. But not only that..I wanted to do something bold! Something seen in the movies or read in books. I wanted to be crazy and sexy for just one night. Just one night, I want to be more than Amu Hinamori, the country girl.
I held his face in-between my hands and closed the distance between our lips. Mine bumped his a bit awkwardly but quickly kissed him with a little more energy than expected. He answered immediately with so much passion. He helped me sit up and adjusted our position a bit so we were both very comfortable. At some point my back met the wall and Nagihiko was in full control of what was going to happen. My hands were caught up in his hair. While his stayed firmly on my hips. It surprised me he could kiss me so hungrily and not have his hands roam in places where they shouldn't. Not that I'm complaining.
I broke for air for a second, but Nagihiko wouldn't allow it. He captured my lips again and kissed me roughly. Nagi bit my bottom lip and I felt him enter my mouth, I have never french kissed before so I wasn't sure about what to do. I poked his tongue and he poked back. It was weird and exhilarating to experiment and find out how all this worked. My mother would never have approved of this and that's what drove me on more.
We heard voices approaching us from the alley and we stopped what we were dong. We were panting as quietly as we could and rubbed the little bit of saliva on our lips. Nagi looked very happy with himself. My heart was still having an excitement overload.
"We should go somewhere else.."
But I liked kissing here. Kissing here was so exciting and different. My whole body was buzzing from the erotic, but romantic sensations that were storming through my body. Possibly being caught made it that much more fun.
"I think we should go home.." I didn't want to get carried away.
"Sure." He smiled his easy going smile.
"Uhm..so when does practice start?"
"Tomorrow."
"Well then, I can't wait for tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Dancing with you is fun."
"But ya know, kissing is wayyyy more fun." Nagi teased.
"That was a one time thing!" I assured him.
"What?"
"Yep, hope you liked it."
"Amu-chan, you can't just kiss me like that and then say it's only gonna happen once!" Nagihiko complained.
I sauntered on home with him complaining and begging behind me. Once we were at the gates, I went on my toes and kissed his cheek.
"Good night." I winked at him and walked inside where Dia was waiting.
Once I was in my own room again, I mentally slapped myself for being so weird in one night.
Choice B Outcome:
I turned my head and I heard Nagihiko laugh.
"I'm only teasing, Amu-chan." He said, but that didn't sound entirely true.
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Could you, uhm, get off then?"
Nagihiko looked confused at my request.
"You're on top of me, remember?"
"Oh..OH." He got off me and helped me stand up.
"Shall we walk home?"
"Sure!"
He offered me his hand.
"So you don't fall again."
"Alright., thank you." I say and hold his hand.
Once we get to the gates, I stall our good bye. We stand in front of each in pure silence. We both tried to say something only to end up stumbling on our words.
"So uhm.." Nagi started to say.
"I uhm.."
We looked at each other and laughed.
"Come here." He held out his arms a little.
I hugged him and as I let go our eyes met once again.
"…"
He quickly kissed me and let go.
"Uh.." He blushed slightly.
"Good night, Nagi." I said in warm tone.
"Good night." His tone was nice and gentle.
I walked inside the gates and kept glancing back. Nagihiko was watching me go inside.I waved as I got to the front door and he waved back. Dia and Ran gave me knowing looks. I ducked inside my room and tried to go to sleep. That was impossible of course because the feeling of Nagi's lips on mine would not go away.
Choice C Outcome:
I was speechless.
"Is that a no?" He asked.
I tried to open my mouth to say something, but all that came our was a soft hum. His lips pecked mine and he pulled back to see if I was ok with that. I sat up and he thought I was rejecting him. He was about to pull away when I sat against the nearest wall and pulled on his wrist.
"..?" He looked back at me.
"I didn't not like it." I said quietly not meeting his eyes.
"What does that mean?"
"I..don't know."
"Amu-chan, I must warn you. I like you a lot already and could attack you at any moment."
My face got even hotter.
His thumb rubbed against my bottom lip.
"Your lips are so soft."
"Nagi.."
"Makes me want to eat you up." His voice was hushed.
"T-That's.."
"Me being very rude, I know." He groaned. "But I can't help it."
Nagihiko caressed my cheek.
"May I kiss you again?"
I looked away a little bit but nodded slowly, knowing full well I wanted to kiss him myself. What was happening was going against every moral my mother ever introduced to me. Nagihiko tilted my head up with his hand and bentley kissed me. I was blown away with how gentle and careful he was being with me. In fact, he was going a little too slow.
"Nagi.." I said breaking away. "I think I should go home?"
"Home..why?"
"It's late." I held back a giggle as he kissed the curve of my neck.
Nagi pulled back and straightened himself out, "Right. Sorry. Got carried away."
"We both did, so it's ok." I assured him.
My hand intertwined with his and he led me down the street.
"You really gotta let me kiss you more often."
"What?"
"Like as a reward for every time I do some hard dance move right! Or for motivation before a game." He had a pleading, but hopeful look on his face.
"Well,.." He knew I was about to give in.
Nagi put his arm around me the rest of the way home and kissed my cheek when we arrived at the gate.
"Well, good night." He said a bit awkwardly and started to walk down the street.
"Good night." I called out after him and made my way inside.
Once I walked to my room, my head was swirling with thoughts of Nagihiko's kisses and the sensation of dancing with him…
