Shig and Mayu

by clubbingwithpikachu

Some friendships last forever. For Morishige and Mayu, their friendship is something that cannot be broken by anyone or anything. They can endure anything as long as they are together. Contains swearing and some other fucked up crap later on.

7. WTF Did We Just Do?

Chapter 7: WTF Did We Just Do?

Just a little heads up, but this chapter is the longest one by far. Either way, there is what I would consider a huge advancement in the plot and it will have further and

deepening impacts on our favorite couple. I've worked on this for weeks and put my heart and soul into it so please love it as much as I do.

"Daddy, is it ok if my friend comes over after school one of these days? I want to show them my room and all the stuff I like and maybe even go see a movie with

them." Mayu announced the next morning after her and Shig's little date. "It's fine by me if your mother allows it. Who do you plan to bring over?" Mayu's father asked,

his face showing a big smile but giving off a concerned vibe. "Shig. I...just want to show him some of my stuff and see a movie or a play after I introduce him around

the house and we hang out a little bit." Mr. Suzumoto was not pleased at all with his daughter's choice of visitor. "ABSOLUTELY NOT! I don't want any boys in your

room with you when we're not here!" he yelled, but not to be mean to Mayu. He was very genuinely concerned about a boy taking advantage of her and he not being

able to help his only child, his beautiful baby girl. "But daddy, Shig won't hurt me and we won't do anything naughty behind you and mom's backs. I promise." Mayu

protested. "NO, NO, and NO!" Ken'ichi yelled back to her. Yukie walked into the kitchen to find out what the hell her husband and daughter were going on about.

"What is with the shouting?" Yukie demanded. "I wanted to invite Shig over to hang out and daddy won't let him come over." Mayu cried. "She wanted to show him her

room and I don't want anything to happen while I'm not here!" he explained. "Mayu, is this true?" Yukie questioned. "Yes mommy." she bashfully admitted. "I'm not

saying they can't be together, but I want to see him now that he's older and interested in her." Ken'ichi calmly told his wife. "Shig doesn't like me like that, dad. We're

just friends. I like him as more than a friend, but he doesn't feel the same way. I'm not mad at him for it." Mayu admitted. Ken'ichi was still reluctant to have Morishige

over, but his daughter never asked for much and he didn't like it whenever she was sad. "Morishige can come over, but only while we're here. Have him come over for

dinner so we can see if he can be trusted." he flatly told Mayu. Suzume hugged her dad and thanked him for compromising with her. When she got to school, she

excitedly ran up to Morishige who was at his locker getting ready for homeroom. "What's up Mayu? You seem happier than usual." he smiled at her. "Shig, my dad said

we can hang out at my house but my dad won't let us be alone. The only way to get him to let you over was to invite you to dinner tomorrow night." Mayu's gaze

switching from happy to sad all at once. "It's fine. I just hope your dad isn't too crazy about having me over and isn't impossible to please." Throughout the day, Shig

would space out from time to time wondering how his first visit to Mayu's house would go. When Mayu noticed him not watching her, she opened up her laptop to look

up those strange drugs she saw yesterday. "What are they for?" she thought over and over again. When her search came up, she was beyond surprised when she

discovered their purposes. The first one was for schizophrenia while the second one was for depression. "Does Shig have these illnesses? He can't. He's so calm and

collected. He's been sad and sometimes acts strange but it's not anything to be concerned about. Is there something he's not telling me?" Mayu contemplated

approaching her friend about not being totally honest with her, but he'd wonder how she knew about the medication he takes and their friendship would be

demolished and her life would be over if he never wanted to see her again. She had to be slow and gentle with the questions. At lunch she weakly asked him how he

felt about friends being honest with one another. "Why are you asking me this, Mayu? Is something the matter?" Morishige's face was molding to a confused and

concerned look. "Is she onto my secret? Please, God don't let her know. If she finds out I won't be able to tell her the truth about how I feel and she'll feel really

uncomfortable around me. Then again, I wouldn't blame her. I'm such a fucking freak; nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes I think she thinks that way about me but

is too nice to say anything about it. But then I realize it's not true because Mayu is kind and honest and beautiful. It's just my depression and paranoia trying to get

the best of me." Sakutaro thought to himself. "Morishige, what's wrong with you? You've been out of it all day. Did you even listen to Suzume?" Satoshi questioned.

Morishige violently shook his head as he tried to get everything he was thinking about out of his head. "Satoshi, chill dude. It's between Mayu and Morishige. They'll

find a way to deal with their problems." Naomi reminded him. She sighed with a blush as she saw her dream boat sit back down, his fluffy brown hair accentuating his

beautiful face. "I know how they can fix their problems." Seiko whispered to Yoshiki who was in the middle of eating a huge meatball sandwich. He quickly gulped it

down to figure out her answer. "How?" Yoshiki snickered. "Fucking in Mayu's bed." she laughed silently or so she thought. "What's so funny Seiko?" Mayu questioned.

"Yeah. Is there something you two would like to share with us?" Naomi and Ayumi said simultaneously. "Hey, I was talking to Yoshiki and it's none of your business."

Shinohara proclaimed, her voice peppered with aggravation and humor. The table remained quiet for the rest of lunch and the whole incident made the rest of the day

very awkward for them. Mayu immediately forgave Shinohara when she apologized for her rude behavior but Morishige was still bitter about the whole thing. He

always tried to have the forgiving attitude Mayu had but he just wasn't able to forgive Seiko. He knew it was petty as hell, but still his mind wouldn't drop it. When he

got home, Morishige went straight up to his room and pulled out a shoebox from underneath his bed. Kito's and Naotaro's skulls were in there and he talked to them.

But how did Shig get these skulls? *enter the flashback; 1 month before*

---

It was a crisp, chilly September afternoon when Morishige left to go for a walk after school. He walked rather far, and came across the cemetery where his grandfather

and Kito were buried. He decided to pay Naotaro a quick visit to show his respects and pick a random flower that may still be alive this time of year and place it on his

grave. When Morishige got to the tombstone, it was just as he remembered it. The glazed, marble rock etched with poems and covered in flowers, letters and a flag,

for Naotaro's status as an army veteran, were still present and hit home for Shig just as much on the day of grandpa's funeral. "Grandfather, it's me, Sakutaro. I'm

sorry I haven't visited you in person lately, but you've come and gone in my head so I figured that it would practically be the same thing." Morishige admitted.

"Sakutaro..." a disembodied voice called out. Morishige looked all over to see who was calling his name but he didn't see anybody, which actually made him very

frightened. "Am I hallucinating again?" he questioned himself. He paced all over Naotaro's grave trying to figure out who was talking to him just now. "Was it

grandfather talking to me? No, he's dead. The dead can't talk, Sakutaro. That's what they taught you in therapy. I didn't make all that progress for nothing."

"Sakutaro..." the voice cried out again, this time much more clearly. "Is that you grandfather?" the boy questioned. "Sakutaro...take...my...skull..." he beckoned the

confused boy. "What? Why? And how?" Morishige was very flustered at this point. "So you can communicate with me better. Use...your...hands to free me from the

grave." Naotaro instructed Morishige. Morishige paused and looked at his small, pale hands and got to work digging up Naotaro's corpse. When he opened up the

casket, Morishige managed to get the skull off the skeleton without any trouble, much to his surprise. He used the closed casket to make his way out of that six foot

deep hole. "Morishige..." another voice called out. Sakutaro knew that voice from somewhere; it was young, arrogant, and familiar. He followed the sound of the voice

and stumbled upon Kito's grave. "Do I have to take your skull too?" he groaned with his eyes rolling in disgust. After what felt like hours to him, Morishige finally

grabbed Kito's skull and hopped out the grave. He was questioning himself but stopped early because he wanted to get out of there fast, and not have someone catch

him. He placed the skulls in his messenger bag and checked the time on his cellphone. It was 4:00; Shoichirio would be home in an hour. Shig had plenty of time, but

he still didn't dwaddle and got home in twenty minutes. "I just hope nobody finds out." *the flashback is over*

---

"What do you two want today?" Shig questioned the two. "Kito here told me you and that Mayu slut are going out on a dinner date." Naotaro commentated; his voice

was becoming harassing and mocking. "SHE IS NOT A SLUT!" Morishige screamed while throwing the skull across the room in pure rage. After he heard a slight cracking

sound, Shig ran over and proceeded to kick the skull while continuing to shout at his disembodied grandfather. "FUCK YOU! I'M GLAD YOU'RE DEAD!" He kept violently

kicking and screaming at Naotaro until a sudden, sharp headache started at the base of his cranium and snaked it's way throughout his entire body. He grabbed his

head and yelled and cried as the pain slowly became worse with every breath he took. Shig fell to the floor rolling and shouting very violently; he begged for this pain

to end. "That's what you get for disrespecting me!" the old man yelled at his grandson. "I'm sorry, grandfather! Please forgive me! Make this pain go away!" Morishige

was writhing in agony, crying so hard the tears flowed like an abundant stream and he hiccuped. "I don't think I will. In fact, I'm going to let Kito here teach you to

not talk back to me ever again." Naotaro smirked. "Please don't!" the boy yelled. But Kito didn't listen and induced a seizure similar to the one five years ago. Despite

not being conscious, Morishige could see himself outside of his body; he was convulsing very horribly and he had bitten his tongue, as evidenced by the slight trickle

of blood oozing out of his mouth while mixing in with the drool. He laid there for about two minutes before finally awakening and hearing his father coming home from

work early. "Sakutaro, get down here. I need to have a word with you." he called out to his teenage son. "Gngh..." Morishige groaned then announced, "Coming dad!"

He walked down those stairs, rubbing his eyes from the tiredness the seizure brought, and saw his father sitting on the couch, a stern look had engulfed his aged

face. "Is something wrong?" the boy innocently asked. "Sit down, boy." Shoichirio commanded the worried young man. "I got a call from your mother that she got from

Mrs. Suzumoto saying that Mayu invited you over for dinner at their house tomorrow night." His eyes were fixed on Shig, who looked away from dad silently. The

silence was ended when Shoichirio hugged his son. "What's going on?" Sakutaro questioned, trying to wiggle his way out of dad's embrace. "Nothing's wrong. I'm just

so proud of you finally having a girlfriend! Now remember, first impressions are always key, especially with the girl's dad. He won't let you see Mayu if you fuck it up."

Mr. Morishige said getting all teary eyed. "Dad, Mayu's not my girlfriend. We're just friends. I love her with all my heart, but she..." A surprised Shoichirio interrupted his

teenage son. "I see, you like her but she doesn't? It's okay, Sakutaro. Maybe she does like you but she thinks you don't like her back. That's what happened with your

mother and me. She would always look away from me and smile until one day I manned up and asked her who she was really looking at. I wanted her to say it was

me she was always eying but at the same time I was praying she wouldn't because I was afraid of the reaction I'd give and the one her friends would give her. I didn't

want her to get bullied because of how she really felt about me. Anyways, she admitted it was me she would look at and I finally confessed my feelings too and

here we are today with you as our boy." "Thanks, dad but I'm going to play it slow just in case." Shig told his dad as he ran back upstairs. Shig checked his phone and

saw three missed calls from Mayu and a concerned text wondering why he hadn't responded. He immediately called Mayu to let her know he was ok, but when he

finally got through to her phone she wasn't on the other line. Rather, it was Mr. Suzumoto wondering why Morishige was calling his daughter. "Why are you calling my

daughter?" Ken'ichi angerly asked him. "I'm sorry Mr. Suzumoto, but I had three missed calls and Mayu got worried and I wanted to let her know everything was

alright." Morishige explained. "Why didn't you reply right away? My daughter's been worried sick about you and you just go and ignore her? I honestly don't know

what she sees in you." Mayu's dad huffed and scoffed. "Dad! What are you doing with my phone! Let me talk to him!" Suzume yelled in a humorous tone with very

slight traces of anger. "Mayu! When did you come in?" Ken'ichi asked startled. "I've been here the whole time. Why were you in my room in the first place?" she asked

him. "Mayu, I am your father and I have every right to look at your things. It's my job." Mayu's dad was very mad at her and walked out of her room to which he was

almost immediately yelled at by his wife. "Who the hell are you to talk to our daughter that way?" Yukie screamed at him. "I will do as I see fit and I won't let her get

hurt!" Ken'ichi yelled back and just as loud too. "You can't control every aspect of her life. She will get hurt one day and that's that. That's how life is." Mr. and Mrs.

Suzumoto kept going back and forth on each other and screaming their lungs out over how to discipline Mayu. "Mayu...Are you still there? Are you hurt? I'm sorry I

didn't call earlier but my dad was talking my ear off and I couldn't get to you on time. Please don't be mad." Morishige pleaded with her. "I'm fine, Shig." her tears were

flooding her eyes. "But I have to go. I'm sorry. This is my fault. Please don't hate me." Mayu cried very hard and almost hung up the phone before Shig replied back to

her. "Mayu, I will never hate you. There's nothing you could possibly do to get me to hate you. Whatever happens I'll always be there for you like you've done for me

all these years." Now even Morishige started crying his face off. Mayu sniffled and dried her eyes. "Thanks Shig. You're so good to me. I don't know how you put up

with my petty problems." "Mayu, you never have petty problems especially the one going on right now. Parents fighting is always very serious. If something really bad

happens, you can come over to my house to chill while your mom and dad cool off, ok?" Mayu cheered up slowly and eventually double checked to make sure Shig was

still coming over tomorrow night. "Of course I'm coming over Mayu! I wouldn't miss this for the world!" Sakutaro yelled excitedly.

---

The next day, Mayu and Morishige both impatiently waited for the school day to end. They were caught up in a mix of fear and excitement as they both wondered how

this whole "date" would go and if would impact the future in any sort of way. When Shig got home, he went and practiced his behavior so he wouldn't say anything

stupid and so he could prep himself for any kind of questions or comments Mayu's parents had for him. He also prepped himself for any type of scenario that may be

considered just straight awful. Mayu eagerly awaited for dinner and Shig to roll around. She wanted her mom and dad to like him because although he may seem odd

on the outside on the inside he was the sweetest, honest, and best guy she knew. There was nothing she couldn't love about him; even his glasses he wore made

him super cute to her. "C'mon mom! It's 6:00! I need to be at Mayu's house in 10 minutes! Let's go!" the nervous boy groaned. "Alright. Alright. Let's get going!"

Kumiko insisted. When Morishige got into Mayu's driveway, his mother kept trying to readjust him to make sure all would go well. She would slick down stubborn stray

hairs and would make sure his shirt was tucked in and everything was neat and orderly. "Mom, stop! I'm fine. Everything will be fine. Now let me go, please." Shig

begged his mother who had grown teary eyed at how grown up her little boy has become. "Ok, honey. Have a great time and remember to be on your best behavior

tonight. Call me when you want to come home, alright? Love you!" she told her son as she left. When Morishige turned around, he saw Mayu standing on the front

porch with her head leaning in her hand. Morishige's face blushed with embarrassment and looked away at the ground while he played around with his feet. "How

much did you hear?" he asked her while on the verge of tears. "I heard everything. Don't worry, Shig. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Your mom is very sweet and

you should be thankful that she loves you so much." Mayu chuckled while guiding her friend up the stairs and into the house. When they got in the house, Mayu's dad

demanded that Shig take off his shoes; he feared that if he started dirtying up his home he would do the same to his precious Mayu. "Mom. Dad. You remember Shig,

right?" she smiled at them before facing her friend with those beautiful, innocent eyes and kissing his cheek. Morishige felt his muscles tense up and his forehead

sweating profusely. Ken'ichi grew a bit more suspicious of him and watched him further during dinner. "So, Sakutaro, what do you do?" Ken'ichi began interrogating

him. "Well, Mr. Suzumoto, I'm in the drama club with Mayu and I like to watch plays and mess around with photo albums." he proudly told the paranoid father. "Mayu

says you two are very close." He just wouldn't stop bugging him. "Of course we are. She's always there for me and whenever I'm depressed she brings me out of it."

Morishige replied after finishing his last piece of a roll and sushi. "That's good. That's good. Now what do you plan on doing with my daughter in the future?"

"I...uhhhhh...I...I..." Morishige shook and stuttered. "Honey, you're scaring him! Stop badgering the poor boy." Yukie rose her voice at her husband. "Yeah, daddy.

Don't scare him. I don't want to lose my best friend." Mayu whined. Mr. Suzumoto knew he was outnumbered so he apologized to Morishige and changed his tone up.

"Mayu, why don't you show him your pet?" her father told his slightly upset daughter. "Alright, I'll go get him." Mayu bounced with glee and jogged upstairs. When she

came down into the living room, Mayu had a small Corn snake slithering on her shoulders. "Mayu, there's a snake on you! Can't you see it?" Sakutaro cried with terror.

"Shig, this is my pet snake. I...ummm...named him after you." Mayu had forgotten how much her friend hated reptiles, especially the scaly little devil she called her pet.

Morishige was not very flattered that such a vile creature would share the same nickname Mayu had given him, but he kept his cool and did his best to go along with it

smoothly. "Don't worry, Shig. He doesn't bite. He's kind and gentle like you." Mayu insisted while guiding Shig's hand to touch the snake. He shuddered at the rough

texture of the snakeskin, but very lightly patted Shig to pretend everything was alright. The snake gave Sakutaro a light lick and he yanked his hand back. "Aw...He

likes you! Isn't that just the sweetest thing you've ever seen?" Mayu smiled at her friend who tried to wipe off the little thing's saliva. When their dinner date was

over, Ken'ichi apologized to Shig who instantaneously forgave him. "Young man, you seem like a very mature, polite and responsible young adult. If you ever want to

visit Mayu while me and her mother aren't here, I'll allow for it. However, if you in any way hurt my baby girl, I will make your life a living fucking hell. Got it?" Morishige

nervously nodded his head. Mayu hugged him tightly and whispered into his ear, "Please come over next Thursday. Friday's a teacher's convention so we can hang out

as long as we want to. I'm excited." Morishige gulped loudly as his throat became bone dry from fear but he agreed to her plans because he didn't want to mess

anything up. "Ok. Thank you all for having me over. I'll have to repay you somehow." Shig told the family as he left for his mother who was waiting for him in the car.

---

The week seemed to go slower than ever on purpose so that Morishige and Mayu would be miserable while having to wait for their other little date on Thursday.

Mayu's dad had let Morishige stay at Mayu's house without him there but only when he was close to getting home from work and they promised not to go into Mayu's

bedroom. Shig was really intrigued about seeing her room so he could see if she had any sort of thing that could clue him in on whether or not she liked him and he

tried to convince her to lie to her dad, but Mayu was the kind of person who felt guilty just even thinking about lying and politely refused Shig's request. By the

time Thursday would have rolled around, Mr. Suzumoto gained more trust in Morishige and allowed him to visit Mayu's room then because he knew that if something

bad had happened Mayu would tell him the truth. Seiko had stopped teasing them about doing the do, and tried to gain their confidence again which she had

managed to pull off. The minute school had let out, Morishige and Mayu met each other in the lobby while hugging each other tightly. Mayu also felt it fit to guide Shig

by the hand as if he had forgotten where she lived. Mayu took Shig up to her room to proudly show it off. It was very girly and cutesy with Hello Kitty being the main

theme, but Morishige didn't mind. In fact, he had loved that cat since he was a little kid. Cats always comforted him. He sat on her bed while she was describing every

little microfiber of the room. "SHIG! Are you even listening?" said Mayu with a raised voice. The sudden loudness frightened him since he had never heard or seen Mayu

shout. "Did I scare you?" she said feeling terrible. "Yeah. I'm fine though." he smiled. He noticed an old photo of Mayu and him when they were in kindergarten. They

were both bubbly, happy kids back then. Somehow Mayu was blessed with the gift to retain that feature in every aspect of her life, but Morishige was not as fortunate.

"O man, I remember that! That's when we had our first play date. You were so cute back then." she said rather giddily. "You're still cute, Mayu." Morishige said, not

changing his focus. Then at that moment he realized what he had said and he was hiding his crimson stained face with his hands. Mayu blushed a little but was rather

confused. "Did you call me cute? Like baby cute or you like like me cute?" Morishige was frozen in fear for what felt like hours to him. "The latter." he confessed. Mayu

smiled at him. "There's no shame in being in love with someone so long as you don't intentionally hurt them." "We're friends, Mayu! We're not supposed to fall in love!"

he said still hiding his face. "But, Shig..." she trailed off, "I love you too. The same way you love me." He lifted his face up into her sparkling eyes. "Really?" "Of course,

Shig. I'd never lie to you." Mayu sat down next to him and rested her head against his shoulder. Morishige could feel his skin heating up and tingling just from Mayu's

slight touch and then he did something he'd never thought he'd do. He finally kissed her. Mayu was surprised by his actions but went along with it. After all, she

wanted him to do it. When he realized what he was doing, Morishige pushed Mayu away. "I'm sorry, Mayu. I can't do this. I love you more than life, but I don't want

our lives to be ruined if we continue." he said sternly. "Shig, nothing will be ruined. In fact, it will be made better. Please kiss me again." she begged. Morishige couldn't

resist Mayu whenever she was pleading so he followed her request and kissed her again. Sweetly. Tenderly. For the first time in his life, Morishige felt like he was in

heaven and Mayu was the source of it all. Mayu moaned softly into him. She was thinking of other things her friend wasn't thinking of and she took off her school

blouse. "Hmnn?" Morishige was confused. "Mayu, what are you doing? Put that back on!" Now he started to sound like her father. "What's wrong? I thought I was

doing a good thing." she said innocently. "I don't know if we should do 'that'." he replied. "Have you ever heard of the term 'making love'?" Mayu said. "Of course. I'm

not a moron." he said rather defensively. "That's what I want to do with you. We both want it and you know it." she said starting to sound like her mother. "What if

you get pregnant? I don't want anything to happen to you. I love you..." he trailed off before Mayu kissed his cheeks and removed his jacket. "Don't worry. I know it's

risky, but what's life without any risks? I'm not doing this because I'm a girl who only cares about sex, I'm doing this because I love you just as much you love me. If

something happens I'll find a way to hide it from daddy." Mayu promised. Morishige was still reluctant, but he knew deep down he couldn't fight his urges. He and Mayu

were sprawled all over her plush bed that had so much on it but they both managed to push it all off. He sat on his knees with himself towering over her and took off

his shirt and his pants. Morishige was embarrassed that he had an erection but Mayu didn't mind. It could've been something absolutely horrible but it wasn't. "Aren't

you forgetting something?" she smiled. Morishige was confused but then noticed his X-Men briefs still on him. "Do I take them off?" he asked with child like innocence.

"That's how people do it. Didn't you ever go to those health classes?" she said, teasing him. He didn't say a word and took off his last article of clothing aside from his

glasses. He crawled out completely over her and only slightly put his member in. Mayu gasped out at the sensation but then sighed into pleasure as he gradually put

more in. "How does it feel?" he asked Mayu, concerned if she was as comfortable as he was. "It's wonderful! I...want to make love to you even more now." He sighed

with relief and thrusted very slowly and lightly. Mayu grabbed his face and kissed him sweetly. "O...Shig...I've never loved you more than I do right now! Please go

faster." Shig knew he was in the clear and sped himself up to which both he and Mayu moaned. They were both fortunate that Mayu's mom hadn't come home from

work yet because they were being really loud. Morishige felt like he was going to lose it, he had never felt so good before. While he was thrusting he felt something

inside of Mayu. He knew what it was but asked her permission before he would continue. She nodded her head and scrunched her face. Her best friend, her one true

love, had taken away her virginity. He looked down at her to make sure she wasn't in agony. "That did hurt, but I know it'll get better especially since you are here

with me in this moment. Something that couldn't be more beautiful even if we tried." Mayu said, almost at a loss for words because she couldn't describe how satiating

this felt. Their love had never been stronger than right now and Morishige wanted to make sure Mayu was as happy and confident as he was. "Tell me how much you

love me, Mayu! I want to hear if it's the truth!" Mayu wasn't able to speak in full sentences to her new found lover. No that wasn't quite right. It was more like

boyfriend to her. "Ooohhh...I...love...you Shig! More! Don't...stop!" Mayu cried. Morishige loved every little face Mayu made, every little sharp breath she took, and the

fact that she was really in love with him, as he was with her. All these years of self doubt about each others feelings towards the other and all the hardships endured

were what brought them closer together. He really was happy Mayu was in his life because if she wasn't he would've killed himself by now and the thought of Mayu

not being happy because of him would drive him over the edge. Morishige was brought away from his thoughts and back into the real world as Mayu intertwined a

hand in his hand and the other hand mingling with his navy hair that started to cling to his forehead from sweat. Shig ran the back of his hand against her eyebrows

and trailed it down to her soft, rosy cheeks and her perked lips. Mayu was ready, willing, and excited when he started to lick her lips practically begging for entry into

her hungry mouth. She closed her eyes in anticipation and eagerly opened her waiting mouth. Mayu moaned and panted into him while simultaneously wrapping her

arms around the back of Shig's neck to deepen the kiss. All the while Morishige hadn't let up on his thrusts for his body and tongue which seemed to enhance the

moment. "O god, Shig! More! Harder! Faster! Shig...Shig...Shig...Shig! Please don't stop!" Her nails started to embed themselves into his back while Sakutaro threw his

head back and questioned and professed his love for Mayu. "How...long have you...felt this way about me, Mayu?" "Since we were 10! Six years I've waited to tell you

and now we are making love and confessing the love too!" "O...Mayu...Mayu...you're so amazing! I love you so much!" Morishige screamed. Neither one had expected

these raw feelings, these raw emotions to come to the surface in such a way. Mayu's face had turned a crimson red with slight touches of embarrassment at being

touched and loved in such a new way but also with the fact that she was feeling a new type of euphoria that could not be matched in school or even family life.

Morishige had always heard about how you should wait till you at least fall in love with someone before you had sex, make love, whatever you want to call it and

despite his fears he loved his and Mayu's special moment and knew that they really shouldn't do this often because the emotion and care wouldn't be there and both

of them didn't want to be or like the stereotypical sex crazed, irresponsible teenager. To Shig and Suzume, there wasn't a single damn care in the world then and

there. They were at peace and their true feelings have finally been made known to each other which couldn't have come at a better time for them. Morishige buried his

face into her neck, his heated skin heating up her own skin. They both yelled each others names with such passion and joy as they finished up. "Mayu...I...that was

amazing. I've never felt so happy in my life." he panted. "Shig. What I said before was true. It wasn't something said because of the moment. I really meant it. I don't

want to be with anyone but you. You're the best friend and best boyfriend anyone could ask for." Mayu told him, her eyes piercing his soul. Morishige didn't understand

what she meant by that. Boyfriend? Him? With Mayu? "When did I become your boyfriend?" he asked her. "Just now, silly." she said, poking the tip of his nose with a

wide smile on her face. "By the way Shig, I had a hunch from the beginning that you wrote that secret admirer note. I just pretended to not know you wrote it because

I wasn't sure how to take it in a public place. I was scared we'd be looked at funny if I told you then and there at my locker how much I love you." "It's ok, Mayu. Truth

be told, I haven't always been honest with you." he breathed and then resumed, "Remember four years ago? The day you broke your leg, I tried to kill myself because

of the voices I was hearing but I wound up in the hospital because Satoshi saved my life. When I was there they gave me these pills for depression and schizophrenia.

I've kept it a secret for so long because I was ashamed of myself for having those illnesses and was afraid that you'd feel uncomfortable around me." Mayu was

confused at his words. "Why would you be ashamed of yourself? Admitting you know something's wrong and taking steps to fix it is very brave. Besides, at least now

that we're together as boyfriend and girlfriend we've started being open and honest and getting rid of our secrets. I think we've already made a huge step up and we

couldn't have done it without each other." Mayu told him. After Morishige and Mayu had finally admitted their feelings they both crawled under the soft blankets.

"You're not uncomfortable are you? I mean are you sure the both of us can fit on here?" he wondered. "Shig, if I was uncomfortable I would've said something before

we had sex. There's plenty of space for the both of us. Stop worrying so much." Mayu smiled. Shig lay on his side just admiring Mayu while she was entranced by her

own ceiling. He moved his fingers through her soft hair, gliding his fingers through each strand and lay in awe of how majestic she was. Most people saw her as

average or kinda pretty, but to Morishige the beauty she possessed reached far past time and space. Simplistic beauty was just how he liked it and Mayu knew it too.

Mayu let out a grin and brought him closer to her so she could gain fuller access to his lovely mouth. She made sure every kiss shared between them had passion, had

meaning and that they would be enjoyed. She playfully nibbled on his lower lip and afterwards he gave her forehead a feathery kiss. "Always together?" he

questioned. "I promise. We'll have a family. We'll die in each others arms..." Morishige had to stop her for a minute. "Why so morbid?" "I've always thought it would be

romantic that when we die it'll be together and in our arms. I know that's crazy, and I don't think about it often but I thought it would be a true act of love." she said.

"I love how deep you are. It's so remarkable." Shig told her. Suzume blushed a cherry red and brought herself closer to him so she could nuzzle in between his neck

and shoulder. As soon as his heart had finally settled down from their lovemaking, Sakutaro felt it picking up it's pace in his chest and throat as he felt her head

against him, so close again. He looked down next to him and saw her sleeping peacefully and followed her lead. Yukie arrived an hour later, getting home earlier than

she had expected and went to check up on her daughter to make sure she and Shig were alright. "Mayu, are you in there?" she questioned, knocking on her bedroom

door. When she got no reply, she knocked harder and continued questioning. "Are you alright, honey?" Yukie grew mildly paranoid and announced that she was

coming in. "O, thank goodness. You're asleep. I thought something terrible had happened. Look! Sakutaro's making sure you're safe." she spoke out loud. Mayu's mom

was just about to leave when it finally crossed her mind that her daughter was in bed with her friend. In the nude. "Mayu! Wake up this instant!" she yelled. Mayu got

up frightened and tried to cover herself up while Shig just sat there frozen. "What do you think you're doing? Do you know what you've done? I can't believe my baby

girl would do something like this." Yukie cried. "Mom, it's okay. Shig and I...we're...we're in love!" the innocent girl proclaimed. "No you're not! That's just your

hormones talking!" "No it's not, mom!" Mayu yelled, scaring her mother speechless. "We've been in love since 5th grade and we just now confessed our love to each

other. I wanted to make love with him because I really love him and so doesn't he. Why can't I be truly in love with my best friend? Is it because I'm a teenager?" she

asked with a tone of annoyance and anger that seemed unfit for a girl like her. "No, it's just..." her mother trailed. "I'm sorry I yelled mom, but I'm not sorry for what

the both of us did together. It was beautiful and made us happy." Mayu interrupted. "Mayu, you know I love you very much. I'm just worried if this will consume your

life." Yukie told her. "We both promised each other to not go at it like a bunch of irresponsible kids and couples shouldn't break promises to each other." Mayu paused

and then thought, "Am I in trouble?" "Well...Only if you promise to not be irresponsible and try your best to support one another, then I guess I could let you off the

hook and keep this a secret from your father." Yukie smiled at her radiant green eyed child. "Thank you mom. I'm so glad you understand. Shig and I are also officially

boyfriend and girlfriend by the way. Aren't we, Shig, bro?" Mayu questioned him while leaning against his arm and locking eyes with him. It took him a little while before

the glazed look of fear had left his bright and beautiful green eyes, but Morishige confirmed with Mrs. Suzumoto what Mayu had told her. "Your daughter is the one

person who helps me understand that life is beautiful while also loving me unconditionally. She's just such...an amazing person and friend. I bet you and your

husband are very proud of her." Yukie didn't like making her daughter sad, but she just had to unload her tears of happiness. Both Mayu and Yukie hugged each other

in a loving mother-daughter embrace. "Mayu, I love you so much. I'm so proud of how mature you are and how polite your boyfriend is. I want the both of you to be

happy." "Mommy, you're the sweetest person ever. I'm just so happy you're not mad at us. Thank you for being so understanding." Mayu cried into her mom. When the

ladies were done crying, they looked at a still Morishige and gave him a thankful hug to which he tensed up his muscles with surprise. "Is there something I did

wrong?" Sakutaro asked worriedly. "Of course not." they said. "It's just that we're happy you both were finally honest with each other about your feelings." "O, by the

way, Mayu I take it you and Morishige aren't going to see a movie." Yukie double checked with Mayu. "Yeah. I just want to rest with Shig a little bit more until daddy

gets home. We're both really tired and this will be our first time that we sleep in each others arms so I want it to be special." Mayu replied back. Yukie nodded her

head and smiled at her daughter and left the room so Shig and Mayu could have more alone time. Morishige and Mayu knew that they could and would cherish this

moment forever and that their lives together would be everlasting.
