He Loves You
Dende felt his cheeks redden as he stared at Mana's father. He had one of his eyebrows lifted, and his hands on his hips.
"Mana. Darling, are you sure this boy is alright? I mean, he's not, you know."
"Kenjo!" Mana pouted and grabbed hold of Dende's arm. "Dende is not gay."
Mana's dad, Kenjo, frowned but held out his hand, "You may call me Kenjo."
Dende took it thankfully. Mana stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek quickly, furthing his blush. Kenjo huffed and sat back behind his desk, "Now, none of that young love stuff in here. If you two want to do something," He waggled his eyebrows slyly, "Do it in your own room, Mana."
Dende watched as Mana's face flushed and she awkwardly held onto his arm. "Sorry. Dad thinks I sleep with all my boyfriends."
Dende's face went blank.
"Dende?"
Mana's father chuckled good-naturedly, "Don't worry, son. I was just joking."
The green skinned teenager managed a weak smile. "Y-Yeah."
Mana looked between her two favourite males and grinned. Then she suddenly detached herself Dende and disappeared out the study. Kenjo gestured to the leather couch opposite his desk. A little uncomfortable, Dende sat on the couch and tapped his knees.
"So, you like my daughter?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
Dende chuckled nervously, wondering all the while where Mana had gone, "Yeah. You could say that. My future's all planned out."
"Hmm, that's good to know, I guess." Kenjo said softly.
The men sat in silence for several minutes until Mana reappeared. She balanced a tray of SoftGlass and steaming tea. Setting it down on her dad's work table, she sat next her boyfriend and cuddled into his side. Kenjo wrinkled his nose, "I mean it, Mana. I don't really care what you two do, as long as YOU don't get pregnant, and HE doesn't hurt you. And also that BOTH of you don't do it in front of me."
Mana groaned loudly, and Dende surpressed a laugh. She was really cute when she was in a wierd position.
"Daaad! I'm not sleeping with Dende!" Her freckled nose darkened.
But Kenjo only nodded in a all-knowing way. He smirked and shooed them out of his study. "Alright. Whatever you say, my precious."
Mana glared at her only relative and stood up, pulling Dende with her, "Come on, Green. Let's go outside." She grabbed a handful of SoftGlass carefully and they made their way to the porch. It was already dark. The sky was littered with millions of tiny, bright stars that glittered.
"It's really beautiful." The amethyst eyed girl said dreamily.
Dende gave a lop-sided smile and took Mana's hand; gently leading her into a more lonely area of their gardens. They came to the drooping willow tree where they'd had their first date, and Dende pushed aside the leaves so that they could step through.
Once they were sitting beside the small stream, Dende pulled Mana into his lap, softly kissing her neck.
"Hah. . . Hahaha, that tickles, Green." Mana giggled.
She turned in his lap, so that she was facing him. The violet haired girl put her hands on Dende's shoulders and pushed him backwards so that she could sit on his chest. Looking down at him, Mana kissed his lips softly.
Dende wrapped his arms aorund her waist and pulled her closer to him. Their kiss lasted longer than they expected, but they had to pull away to breathe eventually, and when they did, they just started kissing again. This time more heatedly.
Dende rolled over so that he now straddled Mana's waist. "You're in a sticky situation now, Mana." He smirked and leaned down. Capturing her lips in another slow and steady kiss.
"I love you." Dende said softly as he stared into his girlfriend's eyes.
Snaking her arms around his neck to pull him back down to her lips, Mana smiled mischeviously, "I love you too, Green. You're the guardian of my heart. Now, and forever."
So, this story will probably be finished in the next chapter. Please review and I will think of doing a sequel. :) :) :)
