Chapter 5
"Yes. Yes, I'll be yours." Misaki breathes. She looks up into her now-lover's eyes, and sees something she never did expect to see in them-joy.
Pure joy.
And ever so slowly, even in the dark of the room, Misaki sees his lips start to curl upward in the most beautiful smile she'd probably ever see in this world.
Usui is smiling.
It takes Misaki a momet to process. Not smirking, nor chuckling, or what. Just a smile, a small one, but big enough to be called just that--a smile. His eyes crinkle at the edges, and Misaki melts at the sight of the slight crow's feet wrinkling the skin.
"You're smiling." The words slip out before Misaki could filter them.
Usui's smile falters for a second as his face morphs into a look of surprise, just for a moment, before the smile returns, this time even bigger. He grins widely, his usually all-man charm transforming into boyishly good looks.
Huh. It seems like under all that man and flirt is a boy.
"Why are you smiling?" Usui asks.
"Because your smile is making me smile." Misaki responds, slightly lowering her head as she giggles.
Without warning, his big, strong hands grab her by the shoulder, making her jerk her head up to meet his gaze.
"Shit I love that sound." He says with a sigh.
"What?" Misaki asks, still grinning. Despite her seemingly calm exterior, inside, she is all melted and gooey and soft for this man, who not only gripped her body, but had a strong hold on her heart.
The fuck she is cheesy.
"Your giggling." He says. He pulls her close by wrapping his arms around her, caging her in. He looks down at her, his eyes soft and sweet on her. "I love your giggles."
With his eyes trained on her, Misaki feels the shivers come on. With his heat surrounding her, Misaki suddenly felt warm and hot, wanting to fan herself. She loses her smile as she swallows.
He said the L-word. Misaki suddenly feels all fluffy inside, practically becoming a pile of putty in his arms.
"O-okay." She stutters, her face heating up, more because of the L-word rather than his sweet compliment.
As if he knew the direction of her thoughts, he raises an eyebrow and the teasing smirk returns to his handsome face.
"What?" Misaki asks, still blushing furiously.
"You look like youre waiting for me to say something."
"Wha...whuuuut???" Misaki says, her voice rising up a pitch, much to her embarassment. Boy, could she be any more obvious.
Usui chuckles.
HE. FUCKING. CHUCKLES.
If Misaki was putty before, now she was just liquid.
"It's late. Let me take you home." He says with a wink.
Misaki tries her best to hide her disappointed.
Is she disappointed that he didnt actually say the 3 words that she realized she wanted to her? Yes. But it wasnt like he could read her mind. He could have been pertaining to anything as he mentioned her look of expactation... such as the fact that HE WASNT TRYING TO GET ANY FURTHER.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Just a while ago, he all but dry humped her as they stood hugging in thecenter of this old classroom. He said all that shit about holding back, and longing, and she was sure there was a mention of fucking.
Damn. Where were her thoughts going with this?
She manages to compose herself with a silent inhale-exhale session as he took a couple of steps away from her.
"I would really love to do whatever it is youre thinking of doing right now, but sadly, Maria could burst in at any minute. I asked her to help our 'escape' and to give us a bit of privacy." Usui takes the time to pick up their fallen bookbags from the floor.
Okay, so when did thos bags even fall?
And what??? How does he know what she was thinking?
"Im just guessing. Youre an open book, Misaki. Like really open. It isnt really that hard to guess whatever it is youre thinking... though I do believe its only me who can read you. Ive been hearing guys say they like you because of youre quotequote, Mystery." He shakes his head as if wjathe said was a ridiculous thought and slings one bag over each shoulder.
"I can carry my own bag." Misaki tries reaching for her purse, but he moves out of her reach, walking toward the locked door. He pauses halfway to the door, shuffling around as he...
...adjusts himself?
"Misaki, i can practically hear you thinking. Yes, i am adjusting my oants, they are a bit tight, and no, its not easy to get it down once its up."
Misaki almost gasps in surprise and humiliation at his accurate mind-reading.
He wasnt even looking at her.
"I read you so well, I figured out what you were doing the other day by the window with just one look." Usui reaches the door and unlocks it, opening it and stepping aside as he waves his hand in front of him with a flourish and a small bow. "After you." He winks.
The other day? Window?
"Holy fuck." Misaki bites out. Her face heats and her lips start to tremble.
She was embarrased.
"Come on, Misa-chan, let's leave before Maria comes and finds us and wont let us leave, with her questions and her chattiness." He smirks.
She all but runs out of the room to the hallway to the staircase, faintly hearing the sound of the door lock behind Usui and his footsteps that traced the ones she left behind.
"Why are you embarrased? Babe, we're past the point of shyness arent we?" He says as he catches up to her.
"Well, because..." Misaki felt her cheeks heat and pulse with embarrasment. How can she explain it to him?
"Okay, so maybe we arent really past that point, but we will see and touch and feel everything in the future, I hope soon, so I hope you'd be comfortable around me... enough that you can talk to me about touching yourself and your vibe." They reach the first floor and as they exit the building, a familiar figure stood by the glass doors. Misaki's heated response is cut off as a small being runs up to them.
"Congratulations!" Greets their economics instructor, Maria. They both skid to a halt, Misaki awkward under the perusal of the small blonde (she wonders if she heard what Usui said. She felt honestly mortified), and Usui casually slipping one hand inside his pocket and the other finding itself on the small of Misaki's back. "Wow, I didnt want this to happen at first, but this boy here practically begged for my help, and now here we are." Maria emphasizes the last three words, a grin forming on her face as she finishes her sentence. She gestures toward Usui's hand in Misaki's back, and with a wink, she says, "You two together, and me, very happy for you."
"Thanks." Usui gives her a wink, and Maria rolls her eyes.
"Now I have a question--"
"Sorry, gotta go. Next time." Usui grabs Maria and plants a kiss on her temple with a loud smack before heading towards the gates with Misaki in tow.
He just kissed her. Maria. He just kissed Maria.
What?
Like he heard her think, he looks over his shoulder at her. Instead of responding to whatever thought it was that he saw written all over her face, he opts to give her a sly smirk and a shrug. Grabbing her by the wrist, he leads her out of their lamp-lit campus to the darkened streets outside, his body headed toward the direction of her neighborhood.
He kissed her...
What?
