Chasing Pavements – Chapter 5
Author's Note: Hello! Chapter 5 is here. Sorry for the wait, but I couldn't figure out how to follow up that kiss. I hope you understand. Also, I feel like I make Mori talk too much. He is meant to be a strong silent character, yet he has had more lines in this story then he has in the entire anime series. Should I tone his speech down a bit or leave it as it is? Please let me know by leaving a review and/or PM me. I'm in search of a beta reader for all my stories at the moment, is anyone interested in being a beta reader for this story?
Disclaimer is in chapter 1.
Tamaki quickly pulled away, taken aback by Mori's kiss. The taller man smirked as he licked his lips, enjoying the taste of Tamaki's mouth. Tamaki watched as Mori's tongue graced his lips, and blushed crazily. Mori grinned as he watched the smaller man blush. Tamaki looked away, being embarrassed as he spoke,
"M-M-Mori senpai, I-I'm sorry for-"
"Don't apologize," Mori leaned over the table and guided Tamaki's chin so the two were facing each other, "I like you, and I know you like me too." Tamaki's eyes widened at the statement.
"But how did you-"
"It was so obvious," Mori stated, "The way you stutter around me, and the way you would always look at the ground when you talked to me. And the way you would always check me out when you thought I wasn't looking. It was so... cute of you." If blushing was a cause of death, Tamaki would have been dead at the word stutter. Mori smiled at this as he closed the gap between their lips, the only difference compared to last time was that Tamaki wasn't pulling away. He leaned into the kiss as their tongues danced with each other, fighting for dominance. Mori easily won that battle and once again explored Tamaki's mouth. Tamaki moaned into Mori's mouth as he enjoyed the pleasure. Unfortunately, the boys' lungs burned for air and they were forced to pull apart, but their lips were only a marble away from each other.
"That...was...amazing." Tamaki said in between breaths.
"I...know. It was...worth...the wait." Mori gasped out. He then pulled back and grabbed his fork,
"We should probably finish this before it gets cold." Tamaki nodded as they started to eat the pasta in silence. After it was finished, Tamaki and Mori locked their hands together and started to walk upstairs. They entered Tamaki's bedroom and sat on the bed. Tamaki place his head on Mori's shoulder and spoke,
"So, are we like a couple now?"
"What does this," Mori squeezed gently on Tamaki's hand, "Mean to you?" Tamaki was silent for a moment before he spoke,
"It means that my desire has come to fruition, and that you return my feelings." Mori smiled as he spoke,
"I guess we are a couple now."
"Oh that's good. But I need to lay down a few lines though."
"Enlighten me." Tamaki let go of Mori's hand and hopped off the bed. He turned to Mori and spoke,
"I don't want everyone to know about us right away. I'm not ready to come out yet. And the devil twins won't let me hear the end of it." Mori smiled a reassuring smile.
"I totally understand that. Having said that, I'm assuming I can't show affection towards you in public?" Tamaki nodded.
"Yes and one more thing. I know that the kiss was amazing-"
"Now that is one thing I can definitely agree to." Tamaki's blush returned as he stuttered.
"M-Mori, l-let me finish. I-I know that eventually you might..." Tamaki's blush spread all over his face as Mori caught on.
"That eventually I might want to have sex with you?" Tamaki nodded, "I will want to, eventually. But I won't touch you in that way until you are 100% ready." Tamaki stepped towards Mori and ruffled his short black hair.
"Thank you." Mori smiled as he guided Tamaki's lips towards his, and briefly pulled him into a kiss. When the moment ended, Tamaki whispered,
"It's getting late; we should get changed into our pajamas." Mori sighed in defeat as he reluctantly pulled away. He went to his bag and pulled out his sleeping attire, then walked into the bathroom to get changed. Tamaki sat on his bed and thought all that has happened within the day.
Enter Tamaki's Mind
I went to a carnival with Mori. We shared fairy floss, rode in a Ferris wheel together, and I grabbed onto him in a haunted house. I made him pasta, and we ate together until we both accidentally entwined the same piece of pasta. He then pulled me into a kiss. It was amazing, the way his lips felt against mine. Time stopped. I stopped. The way he smiled at me, the way he protected me, all these emotions swirled and withered inside me. And it could only be described as one thing.
Love.
Exit Tamaki's Mind
Tamaki snapped back into reality and quickly got changed. As soon as he finished putting on his singlet, Mori opened the door and exited the bathroom. Tamaki turned around to find Mori shirtless and wearing a pair of tracksuit pants. Oh shit! Tamaki thought. He's shirtless!
"Is something wrong, Tamaki?" The blond haired boy quickly shook his head, signalling a 'no'. Mori sat on the bed and spoke,
"Are we sharing a bed tonight?"
"I-I-I g-guess so." Tamaki stuttered as he turned away. Mori stood, wrapped his arms around Tamaki and whispered in his ear,
"Your stuttering is so cute." Tamaki reddened as Mori started nibbling on his ear. Tamaki pushed back onto Mori and the two both fell on the bed, where Tamaki escaped Mori's grasp and jumped on top of him. Tamaki then started to mess up Mori's hair, until Mori started to tickle Tamaki.
"S-Stop Mori-AHAHAHAHA." He kept on laughing as Mori kept on tickling him. Eventually, Mori stopped and allowed Tamaki to catch his breath. Tamaki sighed in relief as he spoke,
"We should probably get some sleep." He slid under the dona and Mori followed. Thunder struck as Tamaki jumped in surprise. Mori reacted to this and cuddled up to Tamaki. The smaller boy snuggled into Mori's arms as thunder struck again.
"Its fine," Mori spoke, "I'm here." The two stayed like that for what seemed like hours, and ultimately they fell asleep in each others arms.
Author's Note: Once again I am sorry for the long wait. Updates should be a bit quicker because school holidays are coming up again, so I have a lot more time to write and I have a better start off now compared to the kiss last chapter, that was such a bitch trying to follow up. Here's the sneak peek for chapter 6.
Sneak Peek
Tamaki woke up to the sight of Mori staring at him.
"Morning handsome." Mori pulled Tamaki close and kissed his forehead. Tamaki looked up and kissed Mori on the lips, and knew that it wasn't a dream, and it was as real as it possibly could be.
