"yata you know there's this thing called knocking.." I heard someone say sarcastically. I could smell cigarette smoke as yata plopped me onto a couch before responding.
"yea? all well." he walked towards the person and pointed over at me . "that's rose." I yawned and closed my eyes as they talked about me as if I wasn't even there. suddenly I felt a glass cup smash onto my head, waking me up.
"dude fucking chill!" yata yelled at the guy as I grabbed my head in pain.
"what the fuc-" I was interrupted by the guy "no sleeping on the furniture, I just bought that shit."
I glared over at him and picked up a piece of broken glass, throwing it at his forehead. he was tall and wore a snapback and hood over his head, and sunglasses so you couldn't really see his face. he caught the glass and placed it onto the counter.
"misaki your girlfriend has the same short temper as you." he teased.
"don't call me that." yata said while crossing his arms and glaring at him. apparently his first name is misaki and he hates it because it sounds feminine, so he makes everyone call him by his last name.
I assumed that someone called the cops after they found the bodies in the apartment, or the girl did after she ran off. either way it was pretty obvious that I did it. but I didn't really care if I was caught or not, it was self defense after all.
"so yata, what brings you and rose here." he asked while throwing away the glass.
yata walked towards me, crushing the glass under his red converse he was wearing. he also wore light tan skinny jeans and a baggy brown coat with white fur around the hood; looking pretty perfect as usual. he sat next to me and carefully picked some tiny pieces of glass out of my hair while holding my cheek. he stopped and turned his head in his direction.
"rose got herself into some trouble back at the apartment building so I brought her here." he paused and looked at me again. "you're staying with your aunt or someone else for a while. and besides, you don't need to be hanging around a bunch of creeps all day." his eyes looked sad as he said this, playing with the ends of my hair. I quickly stood up and shook my head while walking past him.
"no, I can't. I cant stay with her. i-i mean I can't fucking stand her." I said nervously as my fists clenched. I stepped over the glass and thought back to all the embarrassing situations that had happened in the past because of her.
"you could always stay with me, I'm not a complete creep." the guy pouted while looking over at yata.
I ignored him, I was too worried about having to stay with naomi again. one time I brought one of my guy friends to the house while she was at work over the weekend. we were just friends, trust me, but as soon as she got home and saw us together she started panicking and asking what we had been doing. she asked mostly sexual questions while crying hysterically. it was pretty bad, and my friend started avoiding me after that. I shivered at the memory and saw yata strangling his friend out of the corner of my eye, who still hasn't told me his name yet. it was hot inside the apartment and my tank top and shorts felt like a winter jacket and five pairs of pants. I tried to cool myself off by waving one of my hands in front of my face.
"you win, okay! jesus.." the guy said to yata before pushing him away and looking over at me. "misaki your girl looks hot." he said mockingly while pointing at me. yata scowled at him while taking off his coat, exposing a loose black tank top.
"shut up you ass. and she's not my.." he stopped and looked towards the floor, his face growing red.
"aww what's wrong? are you embarrassed?" he teased.
"I'll be back later to kick your ass, shin." yata said while placing his coat onto a counter.
"well at least I know his name now." I thought to myself.
yata started to walk towards me with his skateboard in his hand then grabbed my arm; pulling me outside and closing the door behind him.
"l-lets go somewhere.." he said while letting go of my arm. I felt a hot breeze blow my hair to the side while he knelt down a bit and looked over his shoulder at me. I quickly jumped onto his back and wrapped my arms around his neck, trying not to choke him out. he started to skate down the sidewalk while holding my thighs tightly in place. at a moment like this I kinda wished that my shorts weren't so tight and short, and that I had some shoes on. about thirty minutes later he stopped at a deep pond by the side of the road. it was clear and had a bunch of lily pads floating in it. I poked his cheek impatiently.
"what are we doing here-" suddenly he threw me over his shoulders and into the pond.
I sunk deep into the freezing cold water while making a huge splash. I opened my eyes to see fish swimming away in all different directions and watched as they vanished deep into the pond. I swam back to the top and looked up at yata while he held his stomach while laughing hysterically. I started to laugh too, the water felt amazing in the hot weather.
"yata you're such a douche." I teased while swimming over to him and holding my hand out for help. he backed away while shaking his head.
"noooo you're not pulling me in." I could hear frogs croaking and feel fish swimming past my legs as I giggled at him.
"I guess I'm not comin out then.." I looked down at the catfish that were swimming all around me and attempted to catch one with my hands. I failed, of course, and heard yata's belt hit the pavement. before I could look up at him he jumped into the water with only his boxers on, splashing me and scaring the fish away again. I felt him grab my foot while he was under, pulling me down quickly. after a few seconds he released my ankle and I came up coughing and pounding my chest; I swallowed gross pond water. i looked around to see that the clear water was brown with sand and dirt now, and yata was holding up a huge fish in one of his hands while he grinned widely. it suddenly flopped around, causing him to drop it and let out a short girly scream. I laughed mockingly and swam closer to him.
"don't laugh at me..!" he laughed while backing up, splashing me with water to keep me away. I quickly grabbed his head before he went out of my reach and pushed him under. he grabbed my hand from his head and pulled me under too. we both came up laughing and hugging eachother.
"this is the first time I've seen you so happy." I giggled while tracing his collar bone with my thumb. I felt his hand move some hair away from my face before he kissed my cheek, gently caressing it afterwards. I felt my face grow hot as I looked into his eyes, then he unexpectedly dunked me into the water again.
I crawled out of the pond and onto the road while shivering due to my wet tank top and shorts. my socks were gone because I took them off in the pond at some point; they were getting gross and muddy. I looked over at yata as he got out; moving his hair out of his face, causing him to unintentionally flex his abs which made me shiver even more. his boxers were hanging low on his hips, clearly showing his v-line. he saw me staring at him and crossed his arms.
"stop staring, pervert." I looked away from embarrassment.
"you wish" I scoffed while crossing my arms. he walked over and wrapped his arms around me while resting his head on my shoulder. I let my hands slowly slide down his back while his muscles tensed from my touch. I felt something wet drag along the side of my neck, then suddenly realized it was his tongue. I pushed him away as he laughed; noticing my red and mad face.
"that's so gross!" I yelled while rubbing my neck.
"I know, the water really made your neck taste bad." he laughed while picking his shirt up and sliding it on.
"well how about I lick you and find out for myself?" I asked before chasing him down the road. he ran from me for about ten seconds before turning around, chasing me instead.
"stop it!" I laughed while stepping backwards, then turning around. a car was passing by and honked as I turned and made me scream for a second, almost falling backwards. i felt my head pound for a moment as my eyes widened. i know im forgetting something, i just cant remember what. I felt someone poke my shoulder which made me scream again.
"what? did I scare you?" I heard yata laugh behind me while poking at my sides. I spun around and firmly grabbed the sides of his head, quickly dragging my tongue up his jaw and cheek. I immediately pulled away in disgust.
"you were right, thats fucking disgusting.." I said almost gagging from the taste. he rubbed his cheek and laughed.
we started to walk back down the road to get the rest of his stuff. I was walking behind him, feeling the cold water drip from the tips of my hair onto the back of my legs.
"I've been thinking about what shin said back at the apartment... you know, about you being my girlfriend or whatever..." he turned around to look at me while walking backwards. "...and I know that you're not, but when I think of you being with another guy.." he turned back around while clenching his fists. we stopped walking and I watched as yata slipped his pants back on, then his socks, then his shoes.
he looked kinda pissed and deep in thought while he stood over the pond skipping rocks. I didn't really feel like interrupting him, so I decided to ride around on his board. the road's pavement was hot, like, really hot. whenever I would try to push off on the ground to move the damn thing my foot would burn. I decided to just squat down on the board and count how many times each stone he threw skipped.
"I'm bored!" I yelled to him after a few minutes. he held the stone he was about to throw in his hand before turning around and tossing it at me. I caught it and watched as he slowly walked towards me with his hands in his pockets.
"I'm angry and irritated..." he mumbled as he grabbed my arm and stood me up not even an inch away from his face. "everyone's been pissing me off lately, and the only thing that can keep my mind off of the past..." I felt his hot breath on my face as he spoke quietly. "...is you." he whispered before forcefully kissing me. he placed one of his hands on the back of my head and the other was still holding my arm. a few seconds later I saw his face slightly relax while he loosened his grip on my arm. I could feel my heart pound as a few cars drove past us.
"is this courage or rage?" I asked myself before letting my arm go limp and slowly closing my eyes.
he finally ended the kiss and placed his forehead on mine while looking into my eyes.
"feel better now?" I asked in shock while looking back at him. instead of answering he quickly pecked my lips and threw me over his shoulder; stealing the board I was standing on. he started to skate back down the road, heading back to shin's apartment. at this point I was so surprised and flustered that I decided to just go with it. ever since I kissed him for the first time, my lips have been longing for his nonstop and I bet he's been feeling the same way. I looked back at the pond as it grew smaller and smaller the further down the road we went.
my eyes widened as a small rabbit ran behind us and down the road; I had a strange obsession with them for as long as I could remember. I grabbed onto yata's head and stepped onto one of his shoulders before quickly jumping down onto the road. he almost fell from the lose of balance as I ran down the road after the animal.
"what are you doing?!" I heard him shout angrily as I grabbed the small animal's neck skin and held it up. it tryed to kick and bite me as my heart melted looking at its adorable enraged face.
"its a bunny!" I yelled while trying to make it stop moving. I walked back to him while holding its feet in place, completely memorized by its soft fur, then held it up to his face.
"look look! I caught it and I'm keepin-" I stopped talking as i saw the bunny fly backwards over his head.
"I don't like animals." his hands slipped into his front pockets as he watched my horrified face grow from shock to rage. I crossed my arms and turned around.
"I'm going back to the pond." i pouted angrily.
his hands lightly rubbed my shoulders while he whispered into my ear, making me shiver and the hairs on my neck stand up.
"rose.. I wanna take you out to eat as an apology," he kissed my neck a few times, "maybe for some.. rabbit." he licked my neck again before I jabbed him in the stomach with my elbow.
"god you're such an ass." I tried not to laugh and keep a serious face as I turned around to look at him, but I failed. he had stumbled back from the impact, but I didn't exactly hurt him at all. he smirked and grabbed his board while queuing me to get on his back again.
"having a crush on me sure makes you want to hit me all the time.." he teased as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"you threw my bunny." I pouted before licking the back of his neck to get even with him. his shoulders tensed while his head tilted back as reflex. he moved his hands up the insides of my thighs and tightened his grip, sending shivers down my spine.
"I told you.. I don't like animals." my face was red as he skated down the road again.
