Stormy kisses
Natsuki curled in Kurosaki's bed, whimpering softly into his pillow, trying to muffle it so as not to wake him up, ever since her parents' car crash which was during the rainy season, and the funeral which was during the worst timings of the oncoming storms, Natsuki found it impossible to sleep. Even if she weren't there, she could see the car her parents owned at the time, how the oncoming truck driver was drunk…how he skidded into their lane and killed them, as well as him. She saw images of herself in her last year of junior high, curled in her old room, hiding in the farthest corner from her window as she held onto her cell for comfort. She saw herself sniffling, she had just sent Daisy her first message, after a minute he replied back, telling her she was never alone anymore, that he'll never leave her side and always be there to protect her. Now though…she sat up and padded softly to the bedroom door and opened it softly, there, on the couch lay Kurosaki, he slept so easily through the storm, lightening danced as thunder drummed across the skies. Natsuki, scared, bolted to Kurosaki's side, gently as possible she sat on the floor, letting her head rest near his own, her hands sought for his much larger ones and nearly panicked when she couldn't find them. Thunder rumbled once again and she gasped, burying her face in his chest, not noticing she had woken the man up, after the thunder left she felt herself relax slightly before a pair of arms circled her, holding her closer to his body. Her eyes widened as she pulled away enough to see his eyes on her, she began to shiver,
"I-I'm s-sorry, d-d-did I-I wake you?" she stuttered, a tell tale that she's freaked out, Kurosaki shook his head as he sat up, still holding Natsuki close and let his fingers run through her hair,
"Its okay, you're safe now okay? I'm here now, okay?" he whispered softly, she nodded, they both sat like that as the rain harshly pounded against the windows and building, the raven haired girl felt herself relax at her boyfriends touch, but still scared of the images haunting her dreams and mind if she sleeps now, sensing her apprehension about sleep he sighed. He pushed her away gently and stood, then leaned down and picked her up bridal style and carried her to his room, as lightening crackled Natsuki began to cry, using Kurosaki's shoulder as her hideaway. He hurried his pace, the door was open thankfully, he placed her down gently and tucked her in and crawling into bed as well under the covers with her and held her close,
"I told you I'd never leave you, and that I'll always protect you" Natsuki sniffled but didn't seem convinced, he sighed as he pulled her face from his chest and softly, gently, kissing her soft sweet lips, he angled his head so he could deepen it and the younger girl below him held onto him tightly, begging him to stay like this. He pulled away so they could breathe, he gave her butterfly kisses on her shoulder and to the corner of her mouth before full on kissing her one last time, settling himself next to her once again.
Natsuki felt better now as she cuddled into his side, a small smile on her face as he pulled the blankets up to her chin and fell asleep himself. Nothing helps her sleep better during a storm like a stormy kiss can.
