We end up going to the department stores. We pass by the Demo bay and I notice something catches Maura's eyes.
"Its really good for sore muscles and stiff joints. You don't have to be a masseuse or to see a masseuse. In the comfort of your own home. This massager will be your best friend" the guy says.
"Ooh can you try it on me?" Maura asks and the guys obliges. He turns maura around and start the machine and presses it to his shoulder blade and...
"Ahn~.." my ears turn red at his antics. Even the demo guy was caught off guard and took the machine away after just 3 seconds.
"Ahh yes see it's a really good machine.." the guy says after clearing his throat.
"Oh yes I like this a lot. I'll take one please" Maura says. He's given a new one in a box and we're pointed towards the cashier.
He happily holds the boxed machine as we head to the grocery. Leaving everything at a counter as we can't bring them into the grocery area we head in to buy the chips and what not. Getting more snacks and getting the playing cards that Hiro had requested.
We soon head out and is met with a dilemma.
"So how are getting all of this back?" I ask Maura. "On a motorcycle" I add
"Well what if we have a cab take the items and you and I ride the motorcycle" maura suggests.
"Uh yeah that'll work. Must be nice to be rich" I mumble the last part.
"If you become mine you technically become rich too" he purrs before turning and waving a cab down. We put everything inside and tell the driver the address.
"Or you can follow us on the motorcycle. If you can keep up" Maura says. There wasn't really a need to add that last part and so I shake my head.
Good thing the driver was good spirited and doesn't seem bothered by the comment.
I hop on Maura's bike and start it. Then slipping the helmet on. I wait for maura to hop on as well so we can head back.
As usual, he presses up against me. Hes done it so many times though that it feels different to ride without him behind me now.
'wait what are you saying Lucia? You can't possibly be missing riding with Maura' I think to myself.
"Make sure you close this" Maura felt the zipper of my jacket open and he closes it himself from behind me. Hes just doing whatever he wants to huh?
I just nod and position his arms around me. Lest he tries touch anywhere inappropriate. I know he can and will if he wants to after all.
We head back. The cab in tow. I make sure to stay at a moderate pace so the cab doesnt lose us. And soon we're there.
I guess without the music inside the house they heard Maura's bike and they all come to see what that noise was.
"Whooooaaa cool!!!" Hiro exclaims and walks down the stairs to get a better look at the bike. I take my helmet off and hook it on to my arm and I turn the bike off. Then I go to get the things from the cab. Mimori and Kazuki helps along with my sister as the two gush on about the bike.
"I can take you for a ride if you want" Maura offers Hiro.
"Really? That'd be so cool!!" Hiro exclaims
"Not right now though. I have to put away my things" Maura adds and hiro nods.
"Thats okay! Thank you Maura!" They start to head back in. Still talking together.
"Its ok we can put the groceries away" mimori says and i nod and so i just bring maura's stuff to his room.
I set the bags down near the bed and noticed...
"Hes only stayed here one night and the room already smells like him" I mumble.
Closing my eyes and sniffing the air. It really is an addicting smell.
"Yonazuki Lucia? What are you doing?" Maura takes me out of my serenity.
"Oh uh just dropping off your bags. I'll uhh I'll go now" i say and move to go but he blocks my way and closes the door.
His chesire cat grin gives me goosebumps.
"Actually. Stay a bit. I'd like you to help me with something" he says as he steps closer. Making me step back.
"No is not an option" Maura says with a bright smile that scares me more.
External POV.
The gang all help out putting away the snacks and food for meals in the kitchen. Once done Hiro lifts the playing cards. "Lets go play trump" he grins and the others agree.
They set things up and notice. "Eh? Where's Maura-kun and Lucia-kun?" Mimori asks as she brings drinks to the little set up they have.
"Oh maybe still putting Maura's stuff away. Ill go get them" he hops up and runs upstairs to get the two
Before he could knock on Maura's door though he hears a weird sound.
"Ahn~" it sounded like Maura.
"There! Right there" it almost sounded like a whimper.
"Could you be quiet? The walls are thin here" he hears Lucia say sounding a bit pissed off
Hiro decides not to knock and instead goes to get the others. Thinking Lucia might be hurting Maura and wanting to help.
"Guys the door is locked and i can hear weird sounds from Maura's room" he announces to the others. "It sound like hes in pain" he says worriedly
Curious everyone follows him.
"If you cant keep quiet im stopping" Lucia says form inside the room.
"Nooooo here ill do you and youll see why its hard to keep quiet" Maura says.
Then theres rustling from inside the room.
Then a vibrating sound.
"Hyaa~ ahn~" its Lucia's voice this time.
"Oh? You have to be quiet my beloved Prince of shadows. The walls here are thin" Maura repeats his word to tease.
Maura then presses the toy onto his shoulder a bit harder
"Oh yes right there" Lucia groans softly.
At this point the others were still listening but Mimori speaks up.
"Uhm i dont think we should be listening in on them. Lets go back downstairs" she tugs everyone along.
Shiori was curious though. Whats happening in the room?
Inside the room*
"See? It feels too good to stay quiet right?" Maura muses at the white haired boy on the bed.
"You look like youre melting into the bed" Maura comments with a laugh and Lucia pays no mind. He was too relaxed.
"You better do me right after your turn" Maura warns and Lucia nods.
Soft moans and groans continue to emit from the room as they continue their little massage session.
Once both relaxed and refreshed from the massage they both join the others.
"What are you guys up to?" Maura asks as he takes a seat on the couch.
"Just playing trump" Hiro answers. His gaze fixated on Maura to look for any discomfort or signs of pain. Remembering the time that he saw Maura bruised apparently because of Lucia.
Mimori meanwhile has red ears and cant seem to look at the two that are now sitting together.
Lucia grabs one of the bowls of chips and starts snacking and Maura also grabs chips from the same bowl.
"Are you okay Mimori?" Lucia asks curiously. She looked like she was holding her breath and shes very red.
"Ahh yes. Im okay. No need to worry" she answers quickly, almost in a panic. Lucia just shrugs and watches the others play cards.
Shiori, with her curiosity had asked Mimori what may be happening inside the room.
Few minutes earlier*
"Thats the first time i heard my niisan make those sounds. What was happening in there?" She asks Mimori.
"Oh uhm. We cant really say for sure... but uhm... it sounded like.. they were bonding.. uhh im not sure how to tell you" Mimori quickly says
Present time*
"Niisan i have a question" Shiori says and Lucia turns his head and wait for the question.
"We're you and Maura-san bonding earlier?" She asks. Causing Lucia to get into a coughing fit as he was eating.
Maura rubs and pats his back and answers for him "Well in a way yes we were. Bonding that is"
They used the same words but it sounds so wrong coming from Maura.
Lucia POV.
"We were having some fun and letting off some stress" Maura says. I just knoe hes talking this way on purpose.
I take the cup Mimori is handing me and take a sip and take a deep breath.
"We were giving each other massages" I quickly say as soon as i could.
"Oh? Can you give me a massage too niisan?" Shiori asks.
The thought of his sister possibly making those sounds crosses his mind though and a blush creeps up his neck to his face.
"Oh its not really a massage you can give just to anyone" Maura says as if reading whats on Lucia's mind.
"Oh i see" shiori albeit disappointed accepts the answer
"Hmm maybe Hiro can help you" Maura suggests and shiori blushes.
