So to respond to all the questions and thoughts that this story should change ratings I tell you pfft :P
This story still fits the T category, barely I admit, but it still does. But to satisfy you all, the previous chapter is pretty much as bad as it's gonna get; and yes I'm done with all the crappy makeout stuff, just wanted to spur their relationship on, you know?
This chapter is really sweet, the icing on top of the cake! It deals with Yoshi coming to terms with his feelings for Tokine and we find out how deep those feelings are.
This chapter should come with a song so this will be a song fic chapter! I've always wanted to do one of these haha!
Enjoy!
Song: Marry Me by Train
I know it doesn't entirely fit now but it may in later chapters, hint hint...
DISCLAIMER: i do not own Kekkaishi or Train or the song Marry Me! Don't sue!
Yoshimori raked a hand through Tokine's hair. She snuggled closer to him, still sleeping peacefully, once again. He sighed and looked up at the setting sun, hand still playing with her hair. This girl had changed his life, as cliche as that sounded, but it was the truth.
They'd been in the field for about three hours now, with Tokine falling asleep just fifteen minutes ago while they laid in the soft grass. He knew soon they would have to go back and watch over Karasumori once night seized the sky. He could already see a few stars and the patient as ever moon. He let a small smile grace over his features as he looked down at the girl huddled in his arms. Her head was tucked tight against the crook of his neck , breathing in deeply every so often, her hands wrapped tight around his shoulders with her legs tangled up in his. She was an angel in every shape, and form. He had an angel in his arms.
He scowled at the love struck thought and the way it sounded that he was hopelessly fallen. But he realized he was and there was no way to crawl back up. It was torture to think of a life without Tokine, completely impossible to think about without completely falling apart. He shuddered and squeezed her tighter against him. She just simply made herself more comfortable in the new position. He chuckled and brushed away a stray strand of hair, his fingers lingering more than necessary.
He carefully picked her up, Tokine still sleeping. He cradled her close as he walked home, picking his way with more care through the branches and roots than before. He entered the dark house and gently closed the door, shutting out the moon's light. He made his way through the dark to his room, and gently laid her on his bed and under the covers. He touched her cheek before dressing for work. He ignored the yellow backpack this time and walked out the door, stopping to bang on the dog house. "Come on, you lazy mutt."
"Ooh, harsh words Yoshi." Madarao stated as he appeared, yawning pitifully. Yoshimori ignored him and started out for the school grounds, kicking a rock as he went.
"What's wrong, Yoshi?" Madarao asked as he floated next to him. Yoshimori just shook his head as they entered the grounds, sensing three ayakashi's already. They made short work of them and he leaned against a tree, passing a hand over his face. "Just tired, Madarao."
The ghost dog raised his brow at him. "You know what I think? I think you're a little lonely without Tokine..." Yoshimori grabbed him by the collar and glared. "Don't tease me, Madarao."
The dog held up his paws in surrender. 'Hey, no need to take it to heart, Yoshi." Yoshimori just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. Of course, Madarao was right, even if he didn't know it. He'd become way too attached to Tokine since the ayakashi attack only three days ago, him being asleep for two of those days.
Finally it was time to head back and Yoshimori all but ran to get home. He softly padded across the wooden floor to his room. He opened the door silently and found her sound asleep still. He smiled and undressed, leaving him in just some sweats as he carefully slid under the covers, Tokine immediately turning to the new warmth, a small smile on her perfect lips. Yoshimori gazed at the girl who held his heart in the palm of her small hand, but didn't even know it.
The intense feeling of protectiveness swept through him again, too intense to fit under the term 'like.' Yoshimori smiled and brought the girl closer to him, placing a kiss on her hair. He knew the burning intensity he had for her was far from like or even love. It was too much to put in one tiny word or even the three words every girl wanted to hear. He couldn't put it into words, this burning urge and desire to have her and hold her and just love her for as long as she would allow it. He was hers to command, his power to take to use for her own desires.
Forever could never be long enough for me...
To feel like I've had long enough with you...
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do...
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry me...
Today and every day
Marry me...
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe,
Say you will...
Say you will...
He wouldn't let her go no matter what, even if she wanted nothing to do with him, he'd always be watching her, protecting her even if she didn't want to be protected. He wanted to always be like this, with her in his arms forever. He would fight, defend against, and kill any human or ayakashi that would harm her in any way. He would protect Tokine with his life if he had to.
Yoshimori held her closer, burying his face in her hair and sighing as the sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms invaded his senses. She was his everything and nothing will ever change that.
Together could never be close enough for me...
To feel like I am close enough to you.
You wear white and I'll wear out the words, I love you.
And you're beautiful.
Now that the wait is over,
And love has finally showed her my way,
Marry me...
Today and every day...
Marry me...
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe,
Say you will...
Say you will...
Yoshimori gathered her close to him as he started to drift off. She was his world, his light, the only one who understood his very being. She never doubted him, or ever was embaressed by him, not that she didn't pretend to be, but she knew he knew she wasn't. She was the one to pick him up, who saved his soul, even if she herself didn't know it. His soul knew her, his being embraced her, and his love screamed for hers. He was nothing without her, just a lonely soul in a world that didn't acknowledge him.
Promise me,
You'll always be,
Happy by my side.
I promise to
Sing to you,
When all the music dies.
Marry me...
Today and every day
Marry me...
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe,
Say you will...
Say you will...
Say you will...
Yoshimori fell asleep with a smile on his face as the girl in his arms, placed an arm around his waist, a smile also on hers, both completely oblivious to the sun peeking through the curtain, sleeping peacefully in each other's arms.
