He didn't know whether to be angry or worried. What was her reason for having that?! He would ask her but he guessed either one or both of them would get angry and also it was a rather awkward thing to be asking about.
Naru sighed, but nonetheless he continued to put her clothes into the box. All the while he kept thinking about his findings in her underwear drawer. Every few moments he would glance down to the tiny piece of undergarment that was still lying on the floor. It looked so innocuous just lying there. But yet it was also very harmful in its own way.
He felt like kicking it across the room or ripping it up or throwing it out of a window. Surely Mai wouldn't notice if it was gone...right? Yeah, he could just toss it out or something. He started to reach for it.
"Naru I'm back!" Mai called out. Out of mere panic, Naru grabbed the lacy bra and underwear before stuffing it inside his pants pocket. "Naru? Where are you?"
"Uh...in your bedroom." He called out.
"What are you doing in there?"
"I finished packing your books so I thought I'd help you pack some of your clothes." Naru answered when he saw Mai come into the bedroom.
"Oh, okay." She said. She came over to him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." She looked at the box of clothes. He seemed to have been doing a good job with them. And he didn't try to pack the drawers! She felt so proud of him! It almost brought a tear of sheer joy to her eye. He did such a good job!
"Well, I'd better get back to it." He said slightly shiftily.
"Here, I'll help." Mai grinned. Naru nodded before turning away and gulping. "I'm glad you're helping!" Mai giggled, hugging him from behind. She stopped when she felt something in Naru's pocket poke her. She looked down in confusion and began to pat his pocket to get a better feel of it, making Naru seem to panic even more.
"Uh...Mai...what are you doing?" He asked nervously.
"What you got in here Naru?"
"Nothing." Was his immediate reply before turning away from her. She still kept patting his pockets though, not taking his denial as an answer. It was some kind of...bulge. She frowned. The only way to get to the bottom of this mystery was to put her hands in his pockets and pull out whatever it was that was in there. Mai tried not to blush as she did it.
"What...what are you doing?" Naru asked. He tried to worm his way away from her while he kept trying to push Mai's hand away. Unfortunately his wriggling made the bra pop out of his pocket. They both froze as they looked down at it. Mai raised a suspicious brow as she slowly pulled the bra out of his pocket. Still seeing a small bulge in his pocket, she reached into it and pulled out the lacy underwear too. She held the delicate garments up in front of his face but said nothing. Naru still cracked like a melon hit with a sledgehammer though.
"That... It's not what it looks like." Naru tried to keep his calm composure.
"Really, because to me it looks like you've been stuffing underwear in your pockets." Mai pointed out. Mai lowered the underwear down and stared at her boyfriend. "May I ask why?"
"It was an accident?" He offered.
"Try again." Mai threw the bra and underwear in the box before crossing her arms.
"It was." He insisted.
"I'm sure it was." She replied sarcastically. Naru frowned at her. "Oh come on, Naru. Tell me the real reason why you decided to stuff my underwear and bra in your pocket."
"I panicked." Was all he said on the matter.
"Panicked?" Mai questioned with a small chuckle. "Why, because I came in? Why would yo-" Mai paused and let a smirk grow on her face. "Wait, were you 'feeling up my underwear'?"
"What? No. That is not what I was doing."
"Uh-huh, sure." Mai said, knowing that their conversation was reversed when they were at Naru's apartment. It made her smile. She got to tease Naru in the exact same way he did her! She could see a small smile tugging at Naru's lips as he realized the same thing. She didn't think they ever had this happen before. It made her happy they could share such a moment. But now she had to get back down to interrogating him.
"So, Naru, the underwear, what were you doing with them?"
"The better question is what are you doing with them?" Naru replied, crossing his arms. Mai gawped at him. She could not believe he had just asked that. It's underwear! So what?! What exactly bothered him so much about it?!
"So? What about them?" Mai asked somewhat defensively.
"Let's start with the fact that they're practically invisible."
"What? No, they're not."
"Mai, I can see right through them. Where would you wear such things anyway?"
"It's just underwear. What does it matter?" Mai asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"It's not just underwear...it's the kind of stuff you snare men with." Mai's eyes widened at his words. Despite the situation she couldn't help but crack a smile. She opened her mouth to speak but she didn't really know what to say. "I'll ask again. Why do you have such underwear?" Mai sighed and uncrossed her arms. She went to her dressers and began packing her clothes into the box.
"Not that it's really any of your business, but because I'm not really a fan of those types of undergarments, my friends dared me to buy some. So I did. I've only worn it a few times, Naru. Why are you so upset about it?" She asked.
"When?! When have you worn this?!" Naru demanded. The mere thought of her wearing this underwear for anyone but him making his blood boil. Mai was a little taken aback at the sudden outburst.
"I don't remember." She replied honestly. "How am I supposed to know what underwear I wear to places?" Naru let out a growl. Mai paused in her packing to look at Naru. "What is up with you?" She'd never have pegged him for the jealous and possessive type. Although he did threaten to somehow give Gene physical pain...Maybe he was a lot more complex a person than she thought. Mai saw Naru clench his jaw and avert his gaze away from her.
"Does my underwear really bother you that much?" She asked.
"Just those." He responded.
"Then toss them. I never really wanted them in the first place." Naru glanced at the box then back at her. He looked at the box again, the underwear laying there mocking him. Mai sighed and dug the underwear back out. She handed it to him. Warily, Naru took it. "I mean it, do as you want with them, I don't want them if it'll cause us to fight." She insisted.
"The bra too?" He asked. Mai nodded. "No one has seen you in them, correct?" Naru questioned. Again Mai nodded. Then she thought she saw Naru's lip twitch upwards, but it was very brief. She held her breath as she waited to see what he would do. In utter surprise, she was shocked when Naru threw the underwear back into the box.
"I think I might save these for a later date." He told her. Mai blushed at his words.
"Wha...but I thought..." She babbled. He just wanted her to throw it out, but now he wants her to keep it? What the heck was going on inside that brain of his?! 'Does he want me to wear that for him or something?' Mai thought jokingly with a mental laugh. Then the realization that, that was exactly what he wanted her to do struck her. 'Oh my god...' She couldn't believe Naru could be so perverted. Her blush deepened as she shifted her gaze on to him. He was busy tucking the underwear into his pocket again.
"N-Naru! What are you doing?!" He blinked at her.
"Surely it's obvious Mai." Mai sighed, deciding to drop the topic about why he wanted her to keep the underwear since she basically got it—Naru was secretly almost as perverted as his brother.
"I meant why are you stuffing it into your pocket?! Just leave it in the box!"
"And take the chance you would dispose of it yourself, no way." Only one word rang through Mai's mind at that moment.
'PERVERT!'
"It could be worse, I could be Gene." Naru said as though he'd read her mind. Mai narrowed her eyes in a 'that's not funny' kind of way. "I never said I was trying to be funny." He stated, reading her once again. Mai shook her head in irritation before continuing to pack her clothes. Naru let out a sigh and walked over to her. Mai paid him no attention though.
Naru carefully wrapped his arms around her waist. When she made no move to remove him from her, he placed a soft kiss on the side of her neck. Her head flopped backwards onto his shoulder giving him more access to do it again. To which he gladly obliged with a small smirk, knowing she had enjoyed it. He placed another three soft kisses along her throat, a gurgle of pleasure emanating from her as he did so. Mai's hand went to grip his that were on her waist. She entwined her fingers with his as he continued to work on her neck.
Mai bit her lip to try to stop the moan from escaping her mouth as Naru began to nibble at her skin. She squeezed his hands and her eyes fluttered closed. How could simple kisses on her neck make her feel so hot inside? Mai briefly wondered. Her thoughts were interrupted after that by Naru finding a new spot on her throat to kiss. Her brows furrowed together in even more pleasure. Oh god, this new spot was even better than the last! She didn't think she'd be able to stay quiet much longer.
"Mm, Mai..." Naru mumbled absently against her skin. His hot breath sent a shiver down her spine.
"Y-yes Naru...?" She gasped. Naru responded by tightening his grip around her waist, making her press into him more. "Oh...I thought you were...calling me..." She sighed. Naru then hesitantly removed his lips from her neck. Mai let out a small whine. She turned her head towards him with a pout.
"What?" He questioned breathlessly.
"You stopped..." Naru didn't know what to say to that. If he had continued he would've most likely gone too far so he had stopped before he couldn't control himself. "Although..." Mai breathed, closing her eyes. "I guess it's good that you did." Naru let out a grunt before kissing her on the cheek. Mai lifted her hands from his. "I need to start packing again."
Naru allowed her to leave his arms. Even though he didn't want to. He decided to go sit on her bed. She'd probably pack everything faster if he wasn't in the way. He knew stuff like this was his downfall, the only thing he had knowledge of how to pack was a bag for cases where he would have to stay a few nights. Naru watched as Mai tossed her clothes into the box...without even folding them! He blinked. Even he knew he could do better than that. Why was she being so sloppy about it? Did she not take care of her possessions or care about her appearance? Soon Mai twirled around with a smile on her face.
"There, my clothes are all done!" Naru looked at her strangely. Mai frowned. "What?"
"You didn't fold them, why?"
Mai gave a small shrug. "They're not going to be in there for long... Plus it's quicker this way." Naru just raised an eyebrow. Mai ignored it though and began to collect the things on top of her dresser and nightstand. Naru let out a sigh. He wasn't going to argue with her, if that was how she wanted it then fine.
Most of the day went by with Mai packing everything in her apartment and Naru helping here and there. By the time they were finished they were both exhausted and hungry. Mai plopped down on her couch with a tired, heavy sigh. It was about one of the only things other than the bed and a few other large items of furniture left in the apartment.
"Naru already has everything else... I wonder if I should just leave the rest." Mai mumbled to herself.
"Do as you want." Naru answered despite the fact she wasn't talking to him.
"Hmm?" Mai snapped out of her thoughts and moved her gaze on to him. "What'd you say?"
"You were mumbling about the rest of your belongings. I said to do as you want." He informed.
"Oh! Um, yeah... Okay, thanks." Mai smiled at him. She let out a sigh as she continued to think about it. There really wasn't any sense in carrying any of it. She nodded to herself with a sense of resolve. She would leave it behind. "I'll just leave it all here... We don't need doubles. I'll have to go back and tell my landlord though." Mai scrunched up her nose at the thought.
"May I go and inform him this time?" Naru asked.
"Well...I'm all done here, just need to pack the boxes into the van. Why don't we both go?" Mai grinned up at him. She just hoped her landlord didn't say anything rude about Naru. He thought about it a moment before nodding in agreement. "Alright, well..." Mai glanced around at the boxes covering her living room. "Let's pack these into the van." Naru immediately went into action and placed two boxes on top of each other before he picked them both up effortlessly and exited the apartment.
Mai pouted slightly, knowing that she'd only be able to carry one at a time. Even then they would be heavy for her. But nonetheless she picked up her one little box and began to make her way downstairs and into the van. Just as she was leaving the apartment Naru was back ready for his second trip. Mai slightly huffed. How did he make it seem so easy? Although she was really strong when she had been in his body...She kinda missed that. The ease with which she could do things in his body. She didn't really have to worry if something was too heavy for her.
She focussed back on her struggle with her singular box she was carrying to the van. As she finally placed the box in the vehicle, Naru came behind her with two more boxes. They returned to the apartment together. This time Mai tried her best to take two boxes. Even then she got the lightest ones. Naru shook his head her.
"Mai, you'll have an accident if you try to carry too much."
"They're...real light..." Mai slightly panted. "It's fine." 'Ahhh, fingers...about to...drop off but...mustn't let Naru win...must stay...strong...'
"Mai..." She heard Naru sigh as she struggled to walk past him. "Here, let me help." He insisted as he reached out.
"Nope! I got it!" Mai exclaimed with an unsure grin. She then promptly dropped the boxes. "Crap...!" She mumbled under her breath.
"Now will you let me help?" Naru asked.
"Nn..." Mai held one box while trying to pick up the other one. "I...got it..." Naru sighed and stood by, waiting for her to finally come to her senses and give up. Why was she trying to do this anyways? Why couldn't she just carry one box? He hoped it wasn't some ridiculous attempt to look like more than she was or to try and match him in some way. Although knowing her...Why does she always have such crazy ideas? But apparently he must love her a lot to get involved with these 'crazy ideas'. One thing will be for sure...with Mai in his life there will never be a dull moment. The thought made him smile a little. Maybe he was the crazy one for voluntarily wanting to date her and stick by her no matter what. Oh well though. He wouldn't have it any other way.
