A/N: Sorry I kept changing the tense when I was writing so it might jump from past to present tense as you go along.
Backfire
I had only wanted to tease, but now it seems like I had bit off more than I can chew.
I can't really tell which numbered date this is - since we never really officialised them in the first place – I mean how can we tell whether those occasions were merely times spent together or actual dates? But it's not like it matters – all that matters is that we're together, as a couple.
After our night out: watching a movie and having dinner at a restaurant we settled back in my apartment; sitting in my living room just cuddling and talking and enjoying some tea – everything was just perfect.
It was tranquil. With the sound of her heart beat as I laid my head on her chest; with her arms wrapped around me protectively, our conversation had dwindled, but still I enjoyed the comfort of just being with her – silently and peacefully in her warm embrace.
My eyes grew tired and I felt sleep trying to claim me with the comfort I was experiencing – it was getting late and I decided it was best not to keep Natsuki any longer.
I extracted myself from our cuddle causing a faint deprived look from my girlfriend.
"Shizuru?" She near-whimpered.
"Natsuki, it's getting late you should get back to your dorm or Mai would get worried." I told her, as I hid my smile from seeing her adorable longing face.
"Oh… yeah I should, huh?" Scratching her neck awkwardly and looking to and from the wall clock.
I watched her timid display – some times she is just too cute to leave alone.
We've haven't been together as a couple for very long, only recently did she tell me that she returned my feelings and after all that had happened in the Hime incident, I never thought it would truly end this way - seeing her like this is just too much.
Acting so reluctant to leave - it was too cute, the only thing I could think of that could melt my heart anymore than this is when she …
It was then that a wicked idea came to mind, along with an un-disguisable smile that appeared on my features – she propped an eyebrow up in suspicion.
"But of course…" I started in a sultry voice causing her attention to focus only on me.
"H-Hm?" She squeaked, sitting properly up against the couch and facing herself towards me.
I leaned into her, drawing my face closer to hers as I stared into her beautiful forest green eyes, and glancing down to her slightly parted lips just once before diverting my movements towards her ear, brushing against her cheeks with my own.
I could feel her flinch - she's startled by this development – just as I've planned – I had never minded the pace of our relationship, it suits me just fine, but I must admit I love getting her flustered.
"You could call Mai and tell her you're staying over for the night." I whispered hotly in her ear, before slowly retracting myself back to see my "hard-earned" reward.
But barely pass her lips, I was pulled back by a gentle yet firm hand on the back of my head, causing my lips to meet with another - and a deep passionate kiss soon ensued.
A first, in terms of our kisses go - this wasn't one of our innocent pecks we had been accustomed to, this was more, much more; and deeper.
When the firm hand that gently kept me in place relaxed and slid over to cradle the side of my face, our kiss finally broke – leaving me breathless and dazed.
Drawing her face back perhaps only a centimetre or two, her hot breathe brush me by as she shyly spoke:
"I'll- I'll just give her a text later."
I was still in my daze, slowly registering the faint blush and coy expression on her face, when those words penetrated my mind.
I had only wanted to tease, but now it seems like I had bit off more than I can chew.
The soft pressure of her fingertips against the hinge of my jaw drew me in again and from there, all hopes of proper brain function seemed lost, and our lips met once more.
Useless Notes: I had the inspiration/idea for this fic a while ago but never got around to it - thinking I would just forgo this idea and start on another one-shot that came to mind, I discovered that I had actually started 'Backfire' and being the (occasional) perfectionist that I am, I wanted to finish what I started before moving on.
Anyways, there SHOULD be another update in the near future. Look forward to it and I hope you enjoyed this particular update as well.
