For those who haven't noticed (and actually read this text here): This is going to be a long chapter. Damn… I never wanted it be longer than 1000 words but I was just running out of space and there was so much more that I needed to say still.
'December Fairytale' is the second story I upload on a daily basis. 'Two and A Half Years Later' was a lot easier though, as I could write more than one scene from the same day or no chapter on a timeframe of two weeks.
This baby here is different. I really need this to be daily upload due to the story orientating on the days in December. Also, I wanted to get the following 'day' right, so that's why the whole chapter is (a little) longer than normal.

Enjoy!
I still didn't know where I had taken the courage from on Sunday. God knows how I managed to spill out the words that asked him to sleep in the same bed as I did. But one thing was for sure. Wherever the courage came from, it was gone when Monday morning found me.
I lay awake in my bed and stared up at the ceiling. I really didn't want to go to school. No matter how good it had felt to have Kid beside me and to wake up in his warm embrace, facing him now at school sounded like the most dangerous thing I've ever had to deal with.
Getting up and dressed was something I only managed by pure willpower. Leaving the house though was a little more challenging. On one hand I really wanted to see him on the other hand I dreaded what he might be expecting from me now. I knew that I had a certain interest in this man, but this was just an alien feeling for me.
In the end it was my Mom who kicked me out. How embarrassing… I took the bus to school and waited at the entrance for him. I didn't even know why I waited when all I really wanted to do was running away. But I waited, smoking my cigarette and trying to calm my nervous heartbeat.
When Kid turned around the corner and passed the gate to the school grounds I couldn't help but smile a little. He had his everyday coat and tight shirt on, his bag hanging from his shoulder, once more open, just like the very day we had met. When he saw me leaning against a pillar he smiled. My heart skipped a beat and I mentally kicked myself for it.
Nervously I waited for him to close the distance. He picked my cigarette from my hand and took the last drag before flicking it away. "Let's get inside." When passing me he briefly touched my hand, something no one would notice – except if they already knew. The smile on my face widened for a moment, then I followed him into the prison-like building and to my first lesson.
The day was over quickly and now I had to head towards the Starbucks right around the corner of Kid's place. We walked there together, me once again freezing but this time I didn't get his coat. He had smirked but not said anything and I didn't want to ask. I'm no girl, remember?
And now we stood there, right in front of the Starbucks and I didn't have time for a real talk anymore. My shift would start in only a few minutes. The only thing I wanted was keeping him close, ditching my work for today and spend the whole afternoon in Kid's arms. Jeez, I did sound like a girl, right?
"Do you want to come over to my place after work?" I looked up at him, feeling immediately nervous. He smirked. "I can behave, remember?" I nodded. "See you later." And with these words I was inside the coffee shop, a mad grin plastered all over my face. Robin raised an eyebrow but didn't ask.
The end of my shift didn't seem to come as minutes stretched into eternity. When I was finally allowed to leave I was out of the door within the blink of an eye, only to stop dead in my tracks. Fuck… I was nervous, so fucking nervous. With shaking knees I walked over to Kid's apartment, silently praying that my courage wouldn't leave me. Gritting my teeth I pressed my index finger on the door bell and waited. A siring sound announced the opening of the lock and I got into the building.
My fingers were numb from the short distance I had to walk in the cold air and I was really glad to get inside Kid's flat. For the first time I wondered if he was living here alone. But I put the question aside. The redhead's broad smile greeted me when he opened the door. "Hi…" His smile got a little softer and he pointed me wordlessly to the living room.
I stepped over to the room-high window and looked out on the cold street. It was already dark outside and I saw Kid's reflection in the glass as he followed me. Carefully he laid his arms around me and I leaned my head against his shoulder. "You feel cold…" "That's because it is cold outside." He chuckled and placed a soft kiss on my neck.
Again I could feel how unsure I was about this whole situation. What exactly was this anyways? I felt Kid's grip around me tighten a little before he loosened his arms and turned me in them. "Are you ok?" I nodded and leaned up to kiss him. It was a lot less complicated when I just let my body act and see how things felt. Words only made me feel unsure about everything, even something that felt as right as this…
His lips were always soft and warm. I let my lips part a little and deepened the kiss, pressing my whole body closer to his. Kid was radiating enough heat to warm my frozen body. I gasped and broke the kiss when I felt his fingers slip under my hoodie and shirt, searching for my naked skin. "Sorry." he murmured but I only shook my head. "Was just surprised…" And I kissed him again.
Carefully he let his fingers wander higher, further under my clothes. A shiver ran down my spine, but not from the cold. His touch was soft, almost tickling. I forced my arms, that hadn't really moved at all so far, to come up and placed them around his neck, pulling him closer.
I felt him tremble and briefly wondered if this was ok for him. He seemed to know a lot more about this than I did. Shyly my hand cupped his cheek, holding him in place. Not that I was really afraid that he would break the kiss… Then I dared to let my other hand wander down his back, coming to a halt on his hips. If he was allowed to touch me, then certainly I was allowed to touch him too. Softly I pushed the dark fabric of his shirt up, moving my fingers along his hipbone. I had never realized how low his pants were actually hanging… He flinched and pulled away, looking at me with an unsure gaze.
I looked away, suddenly very embarrassed. With soft fingers he forced me to turn my head again and look at him. He bent down, an evil grin on his face and murmured against my lips: "Now you surprised me…" When he kissed me again it was different. There was more hunger, more passion in it and Kid was eager to deepen the kiss.
His left hand was wrapped around my waist and kept me locked in place while his other hand had snuck under my clothes again. Brushing over my ribs he wandered further up, exposing my upper body in the process. The cool air and Kid's light touches sent shivers down my spine and I supressed a content sigh.
Kid pinned me up against the window, breaking the kiss only to start nibbling on my neck. I felt my eyes flutter close, my breath becoming irregular. His lips and tongue and teeth were successfully clouding my mind. I couldn't think straight anymore, too lost in this feeling that I was so unused to. A low sigh escaped me. My hands, still under his shirt, wandered to his back. Fingers brushing over the soft skin lightly; up along his spine.
I felt him shiver under my touch, right before he broke away, taking a few calming breaths. I looked at him unsure. My heart was beating too fast and now that I couldn't touch him anymore I didn't know what to do with my hands. This was so confusing. Never before had I felt anything like this for another man and still I stood here and all I wanted was more. More of Kid and his warm lips, more of Kid and his soft touches on my skin…
He seemed to have another plan. Not meeting my eyes, he retreated to the sofa, dropping down on said item with a heavy sigh. I stayed where I was, not prepared to face the sudden rejection that seemed to form in Kid's mind. Not knowing what to say, I could do nothing but wait for his next move. If he planned to drop me now I couldn't change that in anyways. And here I purposefully ignored the pain that flared up at this thought. I would deal with it later…
The uncomfortable silence stretched out between us and I started to think about opening the conversation myself when he finally spoke. "'m sorry.." "Why?" I was pissed out of nowhere and couldn't quite explain why. Did he really feel sorry for kissing me? Well, thanks very much then.
"I shouldn't… This is just not how…" What the fuck was the guy even talking about? He hadn't done anything that I didn't want! There were some more mumbled words that made no sense to me and I sighed. "Kid. If you don't want me to kiss you, just fucking tell me!" This hurt. I hadn't noticed how attached I was to the guy until I watched him rejecting me.
He looked up at me, confusion and pain mixing on his face. "Me not wanting you to kiss me? Are you fucking kidding me?" Now I didn't understand. I was unsure enough about this whole situation without him messing with me. I wanted to know what he was up to before I got emotionally attached to him. Too late for that one in anyways but I could pretend, right?
"Kid, stop fucking around and just tell me." I knew I sounded angry but I just couldn't bring myself to care. He seemed to shrink under my angry glare, something that I found mildly surprising. "Listen… I…" Kid didn't finish his sentence and I was just up to rant some more when I saw him chewing on his bottom lip. Was he embarrassed? I took a few unsure steps towards him, watching the redhead closely.
When I was standing right before him, he looked up at me. "I just don't want to ruin this, you know." My heart skipped a beat. Could this mean something to him then..? I got on my knees beside him, now being the one to look up. "You weren't doing anything wrong so far…"
The next thing I felt was the world spinning around me. Then my back hit the sofa and Kid was hovering above me, knees on both sides of my hips and his left hand beside my ear. For a second I was scared, too shocked to move. He pushed his free hand back under my hoodie and shirt while his lips found once again my collarbone. I tried to keep my breathing as calm as possible as he maltreated my neck with his teeth. I gasped when he found that week spot close to my shoulder. If I didn't stop him soon… All plans of stopping him were blown out of the window when his fingers brushed over my nipple, teasing the soft skin around it.
I felt my blood pool in my middle when Kid intensified his efforts. Coherent thoughts were useless (and completely overrated) and a low moan escaped me. I felt the redhead smirk against my skin. "Kid…" "Hm?" He pushed my hoodie and shirt over my head, leaving my arms entangled in the fabric.
Another moan was heard when his lips moved downwards along my collarbone to my chest, tongue playing with an already hard nipple. His hand had also wandered southwards and was now playing with my belt, fingers brushing over my hardening erection. And suddenly he stopped all his efforts.
I blinked at him in confusion. "For a newbie you're taking it quite far already." He said, lips only inches from mine. "In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm not a scared little girl that you need to take on something around fifty dates before she'll let you anywhere near her." He chuckled darkly. "Speaking from experience, huh?" I rolled my eyes and tried to reach his lips but he wouldn't let me.
"Law… If you let me continue this, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to stop." I swallowed. Damn… I wasn't ready for this yet. Ashamed I looked away. Smiling softly he placed a kiss on my temple. "It's ok. That's why I stopped now." He whispered into my ear before he nuzzled up against my neck. "Just let me stay like this for a little longer.
Freeing my arms from the clothes I wrapped them around his shoulders, pulling him closer. I could feel his arousal pressing against me but I didn't really mind. At least I wasn't the only one… Placing a soft kiss on his shoulder I closed my eyes.
Jeez.. This is a lot longer than planned.. Oh well XDD
Hope you liked it. It will probably be the last chapter in this direction that I can get away with, declaring it as T.
That one here is already borderline.. Oh well...
Read & Review please - Thanks!
