Chapter 11 : Newlyweds
Kuon smirked. "Can you read it?" He flipped over the paper and showed it to her.
Her eyes widened after she read the clearly written role on the paper. Newlyweds? Was he out of his mind when he wrote it? WHY did he even write that kind of roles? "Um… newlyweds? Why?"
"Isn't it obvious? Do you even watch dramas on the television?" Kuon answered. It should be an acceptable answer, right?
"Err… no? I don't have time for that," Kyouko said. She knitted her brows. She was panicking inside. NO! It's worse than boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't want to ruin your relationship with your girlfriend. She was crying out loud in her mind. She couldn't tell him that, because he would know that she played Bou. He would kill me. She shivered involuntarily.
"Well, why don't you try watching one? There were a lot of newlyweds role in several dramas," he said cheekily.
"Err… really?" Kyouko looked thoughtful. "Why newlyweds?"
"Err… simply because newlyweds are the most basic married couple? Here I just wrote the most basic one and you seem to find it unacceptable?"
"It's not like that," Kyouko tried to reason. "I'm still 17, I have no idea how to."
Kuon chuckled. "Usually, you'll get a script for that. If you watch drama, you'll find many roles involving even married high school couple. Or maybe a salaryman who married high school student or such."
I know that in Japan a girl can get married at 16 years old, but the couple will need parental consent. Kyouko sighed.
"What? You found it disturbing to get married at 17 years old? My friend told me that in here, a 16 years old girl can get married legally," Kuon said when he saw her sighing.
Kyouko froze. You were the one who agonised over that 4 years age difference, and that the girl you love was only 16 years old. I was the one who told you that she was qualified to get married. And now you're telling me the same thing like it was nothing for you? Her face darkened. She wanted to snap right away. No! I can't get angry. He'll get suspicious. She tried to suppress her anger. Fine, if you want to play married, I might as well play the best wife. But… what about that girl? Their relationship is going worse and he has no idea at all? And I'm positive that the girl must have seen us somewhere. She tried to recall any places the girl might have seen them before. Right, BISTRO CMAP. And he even said irresponsible things there. No wonder his girlfriend got angry. I will too if I were her.
"Kyouko, are you listening?"
"Yes, I'm," Kyouko answered. What did he say?
"So, it's okay right?"
"What do you mean with okay?" she snapped, irritated.
Kuon sighed. "I said, I'll call you without honorific at all."
"You did it sometimes. You don't need to tell me that, Corn. I'm younger than you, so it's okay if you want to call me without honorific outside the roles."
"I remembered you were strict about honorific. No, Corn. It should be Kyouko-chan," he imitated her.
Kyouko's face darkened. "Then, call me Kyouko-chan like you used to, Corn."
Kuon shrugged. Kyouko's face darkened more. Her expression turned to murderous. She mumbled something under her breath.
I'm digging my own grave. I totally pissed her off. So, she really hates it when I do this? Kuon cringed. "Kyouko, please don't be angry! I'm sorry, okay?" He looked guilty.
Kyouko looked at him sternly. She sighed. "Fine! I'm telling you as a friend now. You should really stop doing this." She shrugged, imitating him. "People will feel insulted. I'd like to tell you that this is Japan, not USA."
He grinned. "Sorry, I got it. Don't be angry again, okay?"
"I'll grill you if you do it again. So what if you're a big actor in Japan? You're just a human too," she murmured. I think I said this to Hizuri-sensei as well. Gee, like father like son.
"What did you just say?"
"Nothing important." She smiled.
"Okay, so I can call you Kyouko right? Just wanted to make sure."
She nodded. "So, what's the setting? I have no idea, or you can give me a few days to think about it."
"That'll do. I'd have to inform you that I'll be out of town for several days the next two days. Maybe you can think what to do when your newly wedded husband came back from his work."
She twitched. "Why do you have to emphasise on the words 'newly wedded'?"
"Cause newlyweds act differently with the long-married husband and wife," he answered cheekily. "And I plan to start the roles tomorrow night. I need some props to make the scene believable."
"May I know what is it?" Kyouko asked with her brows lifted.
"Just wait till tomorrow night. I'll tell you what to do. Maybe you can start watching some drama with married couple in it? Think of it as an advice for you. I don't want to see the exact same act," he said slyly.
Her brows twitched. She really wanted to snap now. She smiled her Okami smile. "It's already late. I don't think I can watch anything now." She pointed at the clock on the wall. "I need to inform you that I won't copy what I saw. I'll conduct my own research. Please look forward to my acting, Kuon-san! I will act out the best wife you have ever known. I'm sorry for my rudeness, if you'll excuse me. I'm going to sleep right now. Good night!" She turned and walked to her own bed. She lifted up her blanket and settled herself in it. She switched off her light and lifted up the blanket, covering her whole body.
Kuon chuckled. "Good night and have a nice dream, Kyouko!"
The next night…
Kyouko stiffened when she saw bunch of papers Kuon just handed to her. She gaped at the papers. She looked at him and the papers back and forth. He smiled. He was waiting for her reaction whilst he sat leisurely on the bed. She sat stiffly on the chair near his bed.
I hope she won't freak out over that. Kuon kept a smile on his face whilst Kyouko was still dumbfounded. If only I could get her mother's consent. Maybe I might as well marry her for real. Well, I'll take it as practice then. I went all the trouble to notary this afternoon. Not only that. I had to endure Yashiro and Boss' teases. I also had Miss Woods to dye my hair back to original colour. And all is just for these 'roles'. Just for tonight. I'll dye my hair back tomorrow morning. He frowned unknowingly. I want to be her husband legally in the near future. Impatient, am I? I am hoping that she CAN get the IDEA that I fell for her HARD. It hurts if I think how she still doesn't see me for I am, as a man. Does that guy always have to occupy her mind? Is there no any space for me? He sighed inwardly.
Kon'in Todoke? Is he crazy? What are we supposed to do with a Kon'in Todoke? What the… He even got shachou and Yashiro-san's inkan on it. He must be really out of his mind. And what are these all? She was looking at Kon'in Youken Gubi Shoumeisho in English and the translated Japanese version. "Err… you're going all out?"
"Heh? I am striking for perfection," Kuon said with a smile. "It would be nice if I could get your Koseki Tohon and your mother's consent as well." He smiled meaningfully. "I'm a foreigner, as you might have known."
"Yes, I know you're a foreigner. You're right about parental consent, if you're going to marry an underage Japanese woman but… for a game, isn't this too much?" Kyouko said nervously. He can't be serious. He should just go to his girlfriend and asked her to marry him. Why does he have to go all out just for a game? Her heart clenched tight and she felt hurt all of a sudden. Maybe he prepares this to marry that girl and while he is at it, he uses it for the role? He must have prepared another package for the purpose. She sighed inwardly.
"As you said, it's just a game. I thought I said 'if'?" Kuon stated. It's not a game for me though. He sighed. Next step after she agreed to this...
Kyouko's heart clenched tight when she heard him said that it was just a game. She knew that it was a game but it hurt to hear that from his mouth. "I see, then?"
"I'm thinking of having the matrimony in some chapel or church around here," he said with a smile.
Kyouko dropped the papers. "Eh? I don't think I hear you right," she stuttered.
"You heard me. I want to play the matrimony as well. Of course, just with the two of us. We'll put on disguises if you're worry. Maybe we can play Cinderella wedding?"
Kyouko blushed. "Err… but…" He knows me too well. Tsk…
"Oh come on. It's a gokko right? I think you must have played a lot marriage gokko when you were small right? Pretended as a princess with white gown and walked down the virgin aisle with your prince." Kuon smiled. She might have played it with that guy. He was boiling inside.
"No. I didn't play marriage gokko as a child," Kyouko said immediately. I wanted to but Shou-chan was… Her face changed to murderous. Her veins were popping out. She was reminded of how he had broken her heart into pieces. She saw brigade of Shoutarou's minions were mocking her. Go die, Shoutarou! She told her demons to attack the Shoutarou's minions. The minions cried and burned into pieces.
Kuon was beaming inside when he heard her said that she never played that game as a child. He walked up to the wardrobe, opened it and searched for something. He took out his suitcase and put it on the bed. He opened it and took a white dress out of it. It was the white dress she had tried on before. He walked up to her and knelt down in front of her. He called out to her, "Kyouko?"
She was brought back from her thought. "Yes?"
"If we want to play, let's go now before it's too late! Please put on this," he said sweetly.
I knew that dress. That was the one I tried in… She blushed red. Why does the high school couple have to come into my mind now? "This dress is…"
"Yes, this dress is the one you had tried on before in that shop. I think it really suited you well."
"And why did you buy this anyway?"
"Um… for this game?" he answered hesitantly.
Kyouko frowned. He's unpredictable. He had thought about it before? She sighed. She took the dress from him. She walked to her wardrobe and searched for something. When she finished taking the things she needed, she proceeded to the bathroom.
They went to the chapel near the hotel they were staying by taxi. Kyouko put on a long blonde wavy wig whilst Kuon was himself. They arrived at the chapel shortly. They opened the chapel door slowly. There were no one around and it was silent and dark.
"Can I say something?" Kyouko asked when they were standing right at the door.
"Sure." Kuon smirked.
"You're unpredictable," she said and laughed softly. "This long blonde wavy wig is a big surprise as well."
"Hmm… because I'm afraid people will recognise you with your black hair. You're a rising actress. I don't want to ruin your image," he reasoned.
"You won't actually. I'm a no name act…" she stopped when she saw his disapproving look. "Okay… sorry."
"I forgot flowers," Kuon suddenly said.
Kyouko chuckled. "We don't need that. Come on, let's get this over with!"
"Heh? But once we get into the role, I want you to promise me, no turning back."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember the rules?" he reminded. "No stuttering or freaking out over the ceremony."
She thought for a whilst and then nodded.
"Shall we go?"
"Bring it on, Corn!" Kyouko said. She told herself, I'm a bride to be. I'm a bride to be.
She opened her eyes and looked up at him. She saw him looking at her with an indescribable look. He smiled tenderly at her and offered his hand. She wrapped her two arms in his right arm. The couple walked down the aisle slowly. When they reached for the altar, they imagined there was a priest standing there facing them. They imagined him asking them the questions.
'Hizuri Kuon, do you take Mogami Kyouko to be your wife? Do you promise to be true to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and honour her all the days of your life?' This question echoed in Kuon's mind. "I do," he said calmly.
'Mogami Kyouko, do you take Hizuri Kuon to be your husband? Do you promise to be true to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and honour him all the days of your life?' appeared in Kyouko's mind. She was horrified at the 'L' word but she proceeded with the answer nevertheless. "I do," she said, trying to sound calm. Her voice trembled a bit. She was nervous as she thought of this as the real matrimony.
They imagined the priest told them to say their vows.
"I, Hizuri Kuon, take you, Mogami Kyouko, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part," Kuon said whilst looking into her eyes. He smiled gently. He had memorised this line since the morning he did some browsing about the matrimony.
Kyouko followed suit. "I, Mogami Kyouko, take you, Hizuri Kuon, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." Inwardly Kyouko was horrified when she realised what she had just said. I'm a bride. She told herself. It's okay! It's just a game, Kyouko! You didn't mean it.
Kuon took out a box from his pocket and smiled to her when he took her left hand, about to slide the ring in. Kyouko blinked. He got a ring?
"Kyouko, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." He slid the ring in her finger. Kyouko looked down at the sparkling ring in her finger. She smiled.
Kuon gave her another ring. She raised her brows and understood what to do. "Kuon, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," she said and slid the ring in his ring finger.
I pronounce you husband and wife, the imaginary priest said.
You may kiss the bride came into Kuon's mind. He leant down to her face and kissed her softly. She stiffened at the kiss at first but the way he kissed her melted her. No freaking out. No freaking out! It's an act, she told herself. She responded to his kiss. They kissed softly and pulled away. They stared at each other and smiled.
Kuon brought the marriage registration form with him. They both signed the document still with the imaginary priest before their eyes. Both of them smiled and laughed when they realised what they had just done. Both of them signed the document with their real names. They laughed happily when they got out from the chapel hand in hand.
They arrived at the hotel shortly. When they were inside the cab, they held hands. Her head leant against his shoulder. When they entered their hotel room, he picked her up bridal style. She smiled and put her hands around his neck. They looked at each other with loving expression. Kuon stared at his bride and leant up to kiss her. They kissed each other playfully. She laughed when he missed her lips. She leant down and pulled away when he tried to kiss her. They did that back and forth.
He put her down and wrapped his arms around her waist. They smiled at each other. He leant down and captured her lips. They kissed each other softly at first. He pushed against her lips. He nibbled on her lower lips, asking for an entry. She parted her lips slightly, letting his tongue into her mouth. He devoured her lips hungrily. He felt himself getting aroused. His slacks felt tight. He was about to pull away when he felt her hands playing with his shirt's buttons. He pulled her closer, pressing her body against his. He could feel her sweet curves on him.
She felt dizzy with the kisses they were sharing. She didn't realise that her hands were moving on her own. She ran her hands along his hard chest. She felt herself pressed against him. She felt something hard pressed against her stomach. She shivered when she felt her dress was off. She felt herself pinned down against the bed. She opened her eyes and looked at the man hovering above her. His shirt was unbuttoned. She could see several buttons were about to fall off. She could see his toned chest. She had an urge to run her hands on it.
Kuon saw the sexy girl under him looking up at him with lustful eyes. She wore a pair of white lingerie. He recognised the lingerie she was wearing as the pair he had presented her on White Day. When she opened the gift, she was Setsu. Setsu thanked her brother for the thoughtful gift. He got the idea to give her lingerie for White Day after seeing her in black lingerie. He fantasised her in white lingerie after that incident. He was sure when they were playing their roles she would stay true to her character and thus went on with the bold idea.
"You're beautiful," he said it against her lips. She blushed at that and he went on kissing her passionately.
They kept kissing whilst their hands roamed freely. She ran her hands on his hard chest, whilst his hands went to her back and unclasped her bra in a flash. He lifted up the cups and squeezed her breasts lightly. She moaned softly against his lips. He pinched her hardened peaks and she moaned louder. He kissed her lips softly, went down and kissed her neck. His lips lingered there and she could feel a little pricking pain on her neck. His hands were still massaging her breasts slowly and made her let out erotic sound. Her voice made him getting more excited.
His lips started to move lower and he went for her left breast. He sucked on her nipple and he could hear her moaned louder. He felt her hands sank into his blond locks and made him pressed against her chest harder. His mouth went lower, kissing her bare stomach. One of his hands went to her pants and pulled it down her legs slowly till it was off her legs. He saw her writhe under him and found her adorable. Her lustful face aroused him even more. He went back and found her mouth, kissing her softly while his hand was moving lower. He felt her soft curls with his finger and went lower, trying to find something.
"AHH!" she moaned loudly when she felt him touched her sensitive part. She felt electricity run down her spine. "NO!"
"No?" he asked whilst rubbing her swollen centre harder with his finger. He kissed her ear and made her moaned against him. "You're wet," He whispered huskily and licked her ear.
"AH… no… ah…" she couldn't continue her words. She felt something was sliding in and out her body. His… finger? No, this feels weird… "AH! I'm…" She came in his hand. She felt his fingers grazing her core and it gave her a tingling sensation. She felt she wet herself. She felt very sensitive down there. Her body shook softly.
"Coming?" He smiled against her lips.
Her mind was blank. She didn't know what to answer him. She didn't know how to describe the feeling. She saw him pulled away from her. She saw him unzipped his slacks, revealing his boxer. She blushed slightly. He chuckled at her flustered state. He removed his boxer and her eyes widened. She blushed redder when she saw his hardened member. He's huge.
Kuon was still staring down at his lady love. He was satisfied with her reaction. He saw how her eyes lingered on his manhood. He leant down and captured her lips again, engaging her in a long and deep kiss.
She could feel the tip of his engorged flesh at her entrance, nudging her fold. She moaned at the feel of it rubbing against her sensitive folds. She closed her eyes when she felt the pleasure started to overcome her senses once again.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"Ye—yes… Ah… " she cried out.
He gripped his member firmly and rubbed it slowly against her core. She moaned louder and whimpered at the feel.
When he felt her wet enough, he entered her in a flash. She cried out in pain. Her tears rolled down her cheeks. It pained him when he saw her tears. He kissed her tears away, trying to ease her pain. He stayed still on top of her, waiting for her to adjust to him. He felt her inner wall squeezed him hard. "It hurts," he said and panted hard.
Meanwhile, she felt a sharp pain in her lower stomach when he entered her. She felt him tearing her inside. She felt really full with him inside of her. Her body tensed. She tried to get use to the feeling.
"Kyouko!" Kuon groaned in pain. "Relax a bit. You're squeezing me so hard. It… hurts," he winced. It was after all, had been long for him.
She writhed under him. She tried to relax. "Sorry, am I hurting you?" she asked with her tears was still rolling down her cheeks.
"It's okay. I'm fine." He smiled painfully and went down to kiss her softly, trying to make her relax. He felt her kissing him back. "I love you, Kyouko," he said against her lips.
"I love you, Corn," she replied lovingly.
She loves me? He felt happy when he heard her say it. He smiled and asked softly, "Can I move now?"
"Move?" she asked confusedly.
He chuckled at her question. He kissed her and started to move his hips against her slowly. One of his hands was on her butt, squeezing her lightly whilst the other was stroking her sensitive nub. She cried out in pleasure from the feel of him inside of her. His touches on her other sensitive parts increased the pleasure she felt. He thrust in and out her body faster and deeper. He groaned and felt himself was close. "Kyouko," he cried out her name. "I'm close."
"AH… NO! It's… AH… CORN… I'm…" Her mind was blank. She couldn't phrase how she felt at the moment.
They climaxed together. Both of them panted hard from their previous activity. His manhood was still inside her body. He stared down at her and wiped her tears. She smiled and cried at the same time. He kissed her lips softly and embraced her tightly. He felt her relaxed against him. He said, "I love you, Kyouko. Now and forever."
A/N : Good grief! I wrote a lemon when I planned only a lime? That was hard really. And the setting in prologue led me to write one for this fic I think. I'm not really good in writing lemon. This was only my second attempt on lemon. So, don't curse me if I sucked at it! I need to practice more I think. I enjoyed writing the part they were in the chapel more than the part they were doing 'that' though.
Speaking of which, thankfully this fic is an M fic. LOL. Anyhow, her reaction, I used the reaction from a certain heroine of certain manga. I forgot what manga that was. It was a josei manga though. So we are back to the prologue timeline. Well, the next chapter that is. :D Did you get what happened in the prologue? So I guess most reader will start to ramble about how DENSE Kyouko was after all he had done for her.
Thanks for reading. Review if you'd like to tell me what you think.
