Twenty-eight
"I can make smores...oh or braid your hair...maybe we could..."
"No no no Bianca it's late you should get some rest." Touko said carefully pushing her friend out the room.
Ghetsis was glad when the door finally closed the woman could talk your ear off and it was all nonsense. Even Touko looked bored just talking about clothes though she offered a smile and let her friend go on and on. He was thinking she only went with it because she wanted to show him that they were just friends. She could overstay her welcome here but he was already looking forward to going back with her where she wouldn't be around. He watched her go in her bathroom she said there was a bathroom they shared that was larger but there were small bathrooms in most of the rooms. Touko got one for committing a lot of her savings to get them started here. Though she was glad to share it with anyone she just liked the view of the park from her window.
She looked down and peeked out of the cracked door.
He had finally slid out of his suit he stood in his black boxers she blushed slightly though she wasn't as embarassed as she could be. There were times it was too warm mostly due to the changes in their bodies from the pills and such he'd stripped down to his boxers to cool down a bit before. He was muchmore built than he was before now that he was taking better care of himself, was able to anyhow.
When she stepped out this time in shorts the lights were flipped off and they got in bed her back was to him as he moved close enough to rest his arm around her waist.
Just another thing that felt different, now that they more officially had a relationship, she'd always thought when it was just dating it was better to the point. As they could call it off when it was needed and they weren't rushing to anything more. However there was that pull again, this was normal she wanted him in bed with her at ease just like this. She rubbed her head as is ached a bit she remembered the scars she'd seen. She rolled over in his loose hold.
The pills had so many effects he looked down at her.
"Are you alright with this..?"
"Of course I am...it's strange but nice, I would have liked this before."
He shook his head.
"I think some of my more impure thoughts would have made this a lot more difficult, to just lay here." he said simply.
She laughed.
"Oh honesty, loud and clear."
"Well no sense in lying about it, I can pretend but I know my weaknesses.."
"You'd call me a weakness?"
"I want to give you everything whether you want it or not..so yes."
She shook her head though she still had a light smile.
"Really? So you'll really spend time with me, make this real?"
He stroked her hair.
"Of course even with work there is...more free time for me than I'd admit."
"Even to N and his sisters?"
"I do try and keep them further I don't want anyone giving them hard time when we are separated, but even that has to change. I keep working out for a reason."
She scoffed.
"You can tear through metal I think you're pretty threatening as it is."
He dipped his head to press his forehead against hers, her lips parted feeling his hand cup her cheek.
"I don't want you to feel threatened by me."
She pecked his lips.
"I just keep in mind I can call on you for help."
"You better."
They went silent listening to the wind pick up a bit outside it wasn't long before they were asleep without a response to the door opening carefully.
Without a threat..there wasn't too much to sense, yet.
