Satan's American Son
Chapter Five
Spending the Night
Blue Exorcist is owned by Yazue Kato and Funinmation. I don't own any other mentioned properties.
"WHAT!?" screamed Rin, causing me to fall out the chair I had been leaning back in. Going to see what the commotion was, rubbing the back of my head and cursing, I found the twins at a nearby corner.
"You heard me. The students will be staying here to prepare for the Exwire exam." He told Rin. "Oh Tabius, I thought I'd let you know thar Mr. Suguro will be bunking with you, since he is aware of our situation. So tidy up and set out the bedding." resentment still in his voice. He hadn't been happy that someone else was in on our little secret.
"No problem." I said before turning around and heading back to my room. Once behind the door, I threw up a fist in silent victory. Bon had been visiting everytime he got the chance, but he never stayed for long. Now, I get to live with him for a week and I couldn't be happier. Doing what I was asked, the room was clean and the second bed ready for use was all done in ten, fifteen minutes, tv and game consule moved off the desk and placed on a free table.
With Yukio fighting tooth and nail to get Rin to do something, we had the rest of the building ready for the other students who had signed up for the study camp within the hour. And not a moment to soon, for they were here not long after finishing our chores. Tails hidden, we greeted them while Yukio assigned them their rooms. I had to giggle a little bit when Bon's head snapped in my direction when his room was annouced, a questioning look on his face. Unable to speak, I tried to use hand gestures to say it wasn't my doing and pointed at the Dragoon across from me. I think he got the message, but I couldn't tell.
"Before you say anything," as we walked into the room, "I had nothing to do with this."
"Then how did he know it would be safe to leave me here with you?" He asked, angry and blushing hard at the thought we were staying the same room.
"Mephisto probably told him, he watched the whole thing. Creepy bastard." I said, keeping a level tone even though I was annoyed that Samuel keeps such a close eye on us. Does he have nothing better to do?! "So," changing topic, "what do we do know?" glacing over to see the clock strike seven.
"Well, I have nothing to really study for right now. So I suppose we could afford to goof off." He said, scratching the back of his head.
"I have an idea of what we can do." I said nodding towards the tv, "I've got plenty of movies to choose from if your interested."
That's what we ended up doing for most of the night. We were halfway through a second before Bon had nodded off and I was begining to as well. Being carefull, I turned off the movie and lit the room with a candle as I moved him into his bed. As I did so, he grimaced, as though in pain, and muttered something I couldn't quite make out. When he continued to do this, I couldn't help but reach out and comfort him in someway. By the time he had stopped and I had fallen asleep, his head rested in my lap where I had been stroking his hair to soothe him and before I knew it, I wasn't allowed to move.
Though I was unaware of it, someone had been watching and had come in, blown out the candle, covered me with a second blanket, and left the room without so much as a whisper.
When morning came, it was a hell of a lot sooner than I would have wanted to be woken up. With the sceeching of an alarm clock, I searched for the source and saw that it was 5:30 in the morning. What insane person gets up at this ungodly hour? I soon got my answer in the form of a surprised Bon, who had shut off the alarm and jumped from the bed.
"What the hell...?!" He shouted before I covered his mouth and brought a finger to my lips, reminding him that the other's were asleep. "What the hell are you doing?!" He whispered angerly.
"Why are you upset? I wasn't the one who was mumbling in their sleep." I argued in equal silence.
"What?!" he exclaimed, surprised.
"Yeah, you were muttering something in your sleep and it looked as though you were having a nightmare. I dunno," I explained, "maybe my parental instincts took over or something. But by the time you stopped, I wasn't able to get up. So, don't blame me for sleeping there." Streching all my stiff body, my neck and back popping in result. "And since you got me up at this unholy hour, why don't you come to the roof and spar with me?" giving him a slightly mischievious grin.
He seemed to mull it over for a moment before he agreed and followed me to the roof. Making him aware of the unsafe bits of our areana, I dropped into a ready stance and watched my opponent carefully. Rin was easy to predict and counter as he rushed in without thought, thinking brute force was enough to overpower me. Bon, on the other hand, knew quite well he couldn't do so and would come up with some way to trap me and win.
He rushed me, ready for any trick he might have in store, I quickly dodged and tripped him up. Getting up, he was more wary this time around and tried to flank me with a kick to the head. Catching his leg, I threw him a few yards before jumping and pinning his hands above his head, giving him a quick smile before returning to my starting position. Gesturing for him to continue.
His persistance eventually wore me down as the hours passed. It was to the point that I was unable to stop Bon from toppling me and falling on top. When I opened my eyes after I hit my head, I found my lips locked with his. My face quickly turned hot as his eyes met mine and he pulled away in suprise, his cheeks a briliant shade of pink. It felt as though my brain had melted under that intense stare, unable to break the silence that hung over us. I tried to move, but my body would listen. Then something happened to further muddle my thoughts.
Bon reached behind my head to pull me closer until we locked lips again. I didn't respond right away, still taken aback by this gesture. But slowly, I replied in kind and interlocked my arms around the back of his neck. It wasn't a deep kiss, but that was all that was needed to take the next step. Where that step will take us, I didn't know nor did I care.
"We should probably shower, we kinda stink." I said warmly, noticing how hot he looks with his hair down.
"Yeah." He agreed, standing up and pulling me with him.
Having him jump on my back, I ran off the roof and landed silently before turning to sprint inside, back to my room for clothes. Once ladden with today's attire, we showered and were ready long before everyone was up. Which was surprising seeing as Bon and I had trouble keeping our hands to ourselves the entire time.
Deciding to wait until the right time to announce it, we hid our new closeness. Everyone was none the wiser to what happened that morning, all they noticed was that Bon was in a better mood than usual.
"What the hell did you do?" asked Rin quietly.
"Virtue my brother." I answered, saying no more as he looked on confused as Yukio choked on his breakfast at these words. Pulling everyone's attention towards him as I gave Bon a quick wink and grin before putting away my empty plate in the sink.
