I don't own Alien Nine nor any of its characters they belong to Hitoshi Tomizawa, too bad CPM went out of buisness awhile back.
I was really grateful that it was winter break and that I could spend time at Yuri's again, though it was gonna be a long break since I was living with Kasumi now. She wasn't what you'd call discreet, she constantly teased me in anyway she could. she would tease me about Yuri, about my sexuality, about the way I dressed, about my borg drills, and flirt with me, stare out in space with a creepy smile, talk to her Yellow Knife, and come onto me. So she was only good at bothering me.
"Hey are you going to Yuri's?" Kasumi Questioned.
"Yeah..Why?" I asked.
"Oh, Nothing. Just that I wonder how your little date is gonna go?"
"Don't say that its personal, and we're just gonna hangout maybe do a few things."
"Yeah, but what kinds of `things`? Hmm, I bet you'll both get all romantic and mushy maybe even makeout and eventually-!" I covered Kasumi's mouth and hissed to her.
"Don't Even Say Those Kinds Of Things You Perv! We're Just 12! Plus this is a teen rated `yuri` fanfic! The Author Can Only Put So Much Down Before They've Crossed The Line!" ( I Thought Only Kasumi Was Allowed To Break The Fourth Wall!)
"Aww, but you know you wanna! You know just as well as I do you just wanna fuse with Yuri! In every sense of the word! Hahahaha! Nya!"
"Shut It! I don't want your dirty interpretation of my condition! So what if I want Yuri?"
"See Kumi! Acceptance is the first step! Now all you need is-"
"What did we just say! Augh! Nevermind I'll be back later!" I said before stomping out.
I know I shouldn't snap at Kasumi, but I hate when she uses Yuri against me it just makes me so mad! I should be able to be with someone and just want them for their own merits, she jokes and teases but it really leaves a mark. Oh well, at least I get to see Yuri, I think we need to discuss a few things.
*Knock,Knock,Knock* "Oh Come On! Yuri Hurry Up!" I yelled from outside her apartment door.
"Yuri! It's Kumi! Time to stop sleeping! It's already 10 in the morning! Get Up! Just come in Kumi!" Yelled back.
I opened the door and sat down on their couch to wait for the ever sleeping Yuri, I loved her but sometimes I worried that something was wrong with her. I heard a loud yawn followed by Yuri screaming and crying about why her mom didn't wake her up earlier, she came in still dressed in her pajamas trying to look for something. I smiled it was so cute that she still wore pajamas, she turned and saw me before screaming louder.
"Enough with the screaming this is a apartment not a amusement park!" yelled scoldingly.
"Sorry,Mom! H-hey Kumi. Eh heh... Sorry! I forgot today that I had a date with you and ...and...*stutters uninteligble things* !" Yuri said almost forgetting to breathe.
"Calm down, Yuri! Breathe! for borg's sake! and don't say date outloud just yet." I told Yuri.
"Sorry, I forgot mom didn't know yet." She said apologenicly.
"Look just get ready and we'll go, unless you want me to help you pick something out." I said teasingly.
"Wha-What? Please don't joke like that Kumi-chan...Would you really?" Yuri said half serious-half jokingly.
"No...unless you really need the help." I admitted, maybe Kasumi had a point...
Yuri ran back to her room to get dressed, but I knew she was probably beet red with embarassment. When she came back she was wearing a little fur hat, small coat, and long skirt, she couldn't have looked more like a little kid if she tried! I blushed and chuckled abit, before we left Yuri's mom wanted to wish us off.
"You really don't have to , we'll be fine. I'll protect Yuri from anything!" which was completely true.
"Oh my little girl going off all the time, please take good care of her and make her happy." she said, it sounded almost like she was giving Yuri away to me. I turned crimson, and begged for her to stop in my mind.
We left after that and took a train to a near by shopping center, both of us had saved a good amount of allowance the past month or we had a good amount of money to make a few purchases or whatever, but I had to talk to Yuri later about some stuff. We looked around for abit till a small shop caught Yuri's attention, the shop sold cute stuffed animals. It was so cute that Yuri still liked stuffed animals, even if it was a little immature and Yuri was the oldest, I had long since gotten over many things like that.
It kinda made me see that maybe I grew up faster than I should have, but now I really missed being so innocent like Yuri. I lost most of my childhood before I even realized it, I knew I could atleast spend the last bit with Yuri and much more after that ended. Yuri smiled widely as she finally found the one stuffed toy she wanted, it was a couple of neko's that held hands, I blushed furiously and bought it for her despite her protests.
She clung to my arm and hugged it tightly to thank me, "Don't hug so tightly or you'll hurt both of us." I said teasingly but knew she might hurt herself hugging my now metal filled body. I couldn't really feel much of anything really and my mind had trouble keeping the borg out of the equation, all I wanted was me and Yuri to be alone together at the moment.
We shopped at some clothing stores and bought a couple of things, though I had to resist the urge to tease Yuri like Kasumi or Miyu would if they were there. We stopped at a little cafe, and rested there for a bit.
"Hey...Kumi?" Yuri asked in her usual hesitant tone.
"Yeah, What is it? Yuri." I replied.
"Well...Its just ..I feel as though I don't do enough, I mean your always so nice and lovely, you buy stuff for me even if I could pay for it myself, and your always the one who basically runs our relationship."
"Listen Yuri, I do that because I love you! I love you so much that I don't want you to sweat the little things. I want to make sure your the one who's happy and carefree, Its you who I want to spoil lovingly. You do enough by just being you, if I wanted anything I would let you know."
"Oh Kumi! Your too good to me! I want to do something for you too! Anything, Please! Just name it and I'll do it!" She shouted causing a large amount of attention to rest on our table.
"Please don't shout... Alright I'll think about it and tell you if anything comes to mind."
"Oh thank you Kumi! I'll make sure to whatever it is! I Love you!" She again shouted and snuggled up to me happily.
I just smiled akwardly as the entire cafe was now staring at us with mixed reactions, some `aww~`ing and others that shook their head in disapproval. I dearly hoped no one from school was there especially Haruka, while she was a good friend of mine I knew that she might let her mouth slip. I was sadly mistaken as Iwanami and his `pals` came over to our booth, Iwanami, Namiki, and Hironaka they weren't exactly friends more of that they just liked the same thing...
and that thing was "Wearing an Alien".
They are what you'd call `Addicts` , always wanting some thrill caused by being controlled especially when it was those addictive Gladius aliens. I glared at Iwanami, there self-proclaimed leader, and asked:
"So what do you want with us, Iwanami?" concluding that the other two were mostly just dragged around by him here.
"Oh We just wanted to have a nice chat with you, Kawamura-chan." he said with a horribly masked hostility.
"Why don't you turn around before I make you! I'm sure your just sore about your little high getting killed."
"Now, now Kawamura, Why can't we just have a nice talk? Or Why don't we talk about your relationship with the crybaby there?"
"Are you looking for a fight because what we do is none of your buisness!"
"Well no need to get defensive unless there is something more to that friendship than just being best friends! I heard the rumors and thought they were the usual boring dribble, but when it was about the famous and prudish Miss Class President Kawamura being `intrested` romantically in some girl I just had to see if they were true, even if now they've stopped I'm sure with just my testimony they might come back worse." he smirked.
"Urrr...Fine have a seat and let's talk!" I growled at him.
"I knew you'd see it our way once you got used to the idea. Now, how are you both doing?"
"You know how we've been fairing after what your little bunch did to Yuri! I've felt better with Pneumonia! Now Get to the point and stop beating around the bush!"
"My,My so quick to get to the point! Is she usually so direct about everything, hmm Otani? Well I guess I'll get to my point then, I wanted to see if those rumors were true but also how deep it was."
"Well what if they are true? What does it matter to you!"
"So they are true! How much do you love her?Hmm?"
"...I hate you! If there weren't any of these people to witness it I would tear you up!Now I think one of us should go!"
"But we were having such a delightful talk, what's the rush? Can't stand talking about your little girlfriend? Or are you just embarassed to be seen with her?" He told me almost as if it were true, but was it...?
"Come on, Yuri! I'd rather not stay if these jerks are gonna keep bothering us!" I said grabbing Yuri by the hand and pulling her away with me.
As we got outside I felt so drained and angry, that I wanted to punch something so we got a couple of Taiyaki. Which I proceeded to chomp down on rather hastily, which made Yuri very nervous.
"Are you alright Kumi?" she asked concerned for my well being.
"Of course not! Not after what those guys said!" I replied harshly.
"...I don't care what they say! I know you love me! And I love you! So...I don't think we should let it get to us."
"...Your right Yuri. I really sorry to worry you, but I think now is the best time to discuss some things."
I grabbed Yuri's hand and pulled her over to some convienent benches for us to sit and talk at, though I had gone over what to say thousands of time in my head, my heart made me feel nervous and took the sound right from my mouth. It was a heavy weight in my chest that felt crushing, I really didn't know how to start off.
"Yuri...we've been going out for a while now right?" I started the best I could.
"Yeah? Why?" She asked naively.
"Well... you know how we said we would tell our parents about `us` after awhile?"
"Yeah... why did you tell your mom?"
"Yes. And she said that she was happy for us... But I would rather tell your parents with you, my mom is more laidback, though I can tell yours maybe alittle less accepting."
"Well it's good about your mom, but yeah my mom is the only one we really have to worry about cause dad's too busy to really say anything."
"Then there's somethingelse we need to talk about... How would you like to live with me and Kasumi?"
"...I would like to, but I'd have to ask my mom first."
"Well that's okay, man it seems your mom runs everything...hmm." It was weird that her mom had to be addressed for everything, If I wanted to do something all I did was tell my mom that I was gonna do something and that was the end of that.
Afterwards we realized that it was getting late and split up to get some last minute shopping, which included some christmas gifts I got for Yuri. We met up again and left back home to Yuri's apartment, the whole way we both had butterflies in our stomaches and kept quiet. Till we finally got to her home, I was so nervous I felt frozen and wanted to run the other way, but I promised to go in with Yuri so I stayed.
We walked in and greeted Yuri's mom, while I made up a reason to stay the night instead of go back to Kasumi's. I sat next to Yuri as she asked her mom to come over, she was pretty curious and sat in a chair opposite of us. Yuri got panicky and tried to think of how to start, but just exhausted herself dark crimson thinking about it. So I took charge and began for her:
"Uhm... Thanks for letting me stay over, " I started.
"Its no problem, besides I'm sure Yuri would be happy to have you stay." She replied.
"Well... Me and Yuri have something we would like to talk to you about."
"Okay, What is it ?"
"Its about `us`..."
"Yes, What about you two?"
"Well... You see... Uhm.."
" WE'RE IN LOVE!" Yuri yelled unexpectedly.
Everything just stood still as we all took time to recover and rewind what just happend, even me and Yuri were in an akward state of frozen silence. Till I just decided to contiune.
"Like Your daughter said, me and her are romantically invovled. Now I know its extremely shocking to find out this , but-" I said being interrupted by .
"Oh My Little Yuri finally found someone to love! Granted it was half-way expected, but all that matters is that you both love each other. I really didn't think you would find somone as young as Kawamura or get involve at this age, but I'm happy for you." she said hugging both of us suddenly.
"Wha-! You half-way expected her to turn out like this! What kind of up bringing did you have, Yuri?"
"Well of course we half-way expected it, her name is Yuri. Though I can't say I wanted you to be like this or that I really approve, but like I said as long as your both happy. Now what do you plan to do with my daughter?"
"Mom! Please don't say embarassing things like that! Were still just 12!" Yuri Pleaded.
"EH! I...I...Uhm...*Stuttering*...I want to protect her... and keep her happy. I promise I won't do anything to her!" I said blushing up a storm.
"Well I would rather you did nothing, but eventually you'll do something. As long as you both consent to it." She smiled.
We both turn dark crimson and felt like just dropping dead, she really shouldn't say things like that espeacially to two adolescent 12 year olds.
"After all your both just hitting puberty, I'm sure that eventually those hormones are going to get to you." She added, SHE really should just stop now.
She left to go tell Yuri's father , from what I could make out he was just as happy, I was able to finally relax completely now in Yuri's apartment. It was relaxing before, but now I didn't have the pressure of hiding our relationship. Though I had one more thing to do before my plans could continue, but it would have to wait till later today.
Yuri hugged my arm and smiled at me looking on the verge of tears, I bet the relief of that made her only too happy, I smiled back at her and gave her a quick kiss. Even if I was more relaxed I was still uncomfortable letting our parents see us kiss, there was a line and beside I couldn't really celebrate yet. The very least she just cuddled with me, though she did that before we even dated I thought remebering how much she clung to me just mere minutes of knowing me.
"Hey...Kumi?" She said shyly.
"Yeah?" I said wondering what she would have to be shy about?
"Sorry if my mom embarassed you... But I was wondering."
"Oh its okay...( though it was like she mind read me!) So what were you wondering?"
"Well...* whispers something in my ear*."
"Waaaah! Uh...Well its hard to tell you really...eh."
"But I want to know! Everyone else seems to know and I don't want to be a kid forever!"
"But I like you being naive its really cute...plus I don't want to ruin it...It will be better when we do it that way." ( Now please don't ask me to corrupt you anymore! I thought)
"Fine! What about that favor?... Have you decided!"
"Eh...Not yet... just let me think a while longer."
"Hmph!" Yuri said and began to pout, causing me to chuckle.
Later we would go and sleep in her room, she would cuddle with me and fall asleep while I slunk out to finish some buisness. I picked up the phone in the kitchen and punched in a number that I somehow knew and waited for the tone...
"Hello the person you- Hello!" Interrupted the familiar voice.
"Hello,... Megumi..." I said monotonely..." I think its time the `Four` of us talked...How 'bout a little cafe I know... I am a Drill afterall."
