Kuro: More like fear. Now I’m hyper alert whenever I have to go up hill.
And thank you very much.
MsSmiggie: Welp, better late than never. If you like that, you’re gonna love this next one. Pure TakaGaki one-shot. Enjoy~
I made this over a year ago, around the same time as Loving You Forever. This took me even longer to decide to post online since it was originally a perv
based on a hawt, sexy dream so it was a bit heavy. After a bit of debating I made it
kid teen friendly.
Home Alone“Ai-chan” Risa sighed as she belly flopped on my bed, disturbing the sheets I had just arranged under her as she made herself comfortable. She began to stretch out, moaning in content as the cool air from the air conditioner cooled her body.
“Oh God, it’s so hot outside.” She says. She shifts on the bed, propping herself up on her elbows as she turns to look at me. I hum in response, just to let Risa know I heard, and turn my attention back to my book to continue flipping through the pages.
“What are you reading Ai-chan?” She asks.
I tilt up the book somewhat, just enough that she can see the title while I keep reading. I am half way through the story and it is just starting to get good. But my back is starting to ache from sitting in the same position for so long and my butt and legs feel numb. I’m just glad I got a carpet for my room, it would have been a lot more uncomfortable sitting on the floor without it. I stretch my legs, there is a prickling sensation shooting up from my toes and I freeze. I hate this feeling, the pain is bearable, but just barely so I try not to move a muscle until it passes.
When the prickling feeling finally subsides I push myself up and begin stretching, just to get the kinks out of my back. I take a look at the clock and am a bit surprised at the fact that it was already nearing noon. Have I really been reading for that long? I put the book down, after marking the page I am on, and take a seat on the foot of the bed. Risa scoots a bit inside to make room for me.
“I thought you had somewhere to go to today with Kamei-san.” I say. I pull my legs towards me and wrap my arms around my knees. I hear a shuffling sound behind me as Risa turned to her back, her head resting on her arms.
“She had to cancel. Kame forgot that she had something else planned with her family today.” She grumbles. I chuckle. Sure Eri could be an airhead sometimes, but forgetting plans she made before, to her family no less, was just plain irresponsible. But then again, it was the Kamei Eri she was talking about, she wouldn’t be herself if she did remember. Knowing Risa she wasn’t really as much upset as she was trying to portray.
“Are you sure you don’t mind me coming here?” Risa asks slowly. She had turned to her side, propping herself on her arm. Isn’t she a bit restless today? “Your parents look like they were getting ready to go somewhere too.”
“Yeah, they’re going to visit my aunt. Don’t worry. I’m not going with them. I volunteered to house sit while they’re away. They’ll be back tomorrow.” I tell her.
Risa nods her head in understanding and grin.
I yawn. I turn so I can lie down on my back. Risa returns to her back. She is staring at the ceiling, must be looking for the Libra’s constellation. I had painted the major constellation on my ceiling last winter, the original plain blue was too boring.
While she’s absorbed with the stars I take the time to study her attire. She was rather light with her choice of wear, maybe the heat was much too unbearable to go out with the usual conservative look. She had picked a thin white cotton t-shirt, that if she stretched ended just above her navel, and a pair of pink short shorts. I myself picked out a less than conservative look, just a light pink cotton tank top and a pair of short denim shorts. I was stuck at home anyway.
“Hey.” I nudged her softly from the side. Risa turned her head and hummed. “Want to go down and eat?”
-o-o-o-o-o-
Time flies when you’re having fun, or so the saying goes. That was exactly what I thought as I checked the time.
After wishing my parents a safe trip and watching them off I dragged Risa to the living room to have a one on one racing battle with her. Though I purposely let her win from time to time it had not affected her the way I thought it would. After six rounds and with both scores tied Risa had claimed that she would rather watch me play, so I switched to my favorite game and threw all my focus on the screen. Time wasn’t of the essence and was promptly cast aside. That was why three level ups later I hear Risa sigh loudly. I check the time. Over two hours had already passed. Oops.
“Crap.” I say. Risa chuckles beside me. I send her an apologetic look, she just rolls her eyes.
Feeling guilty that I had ignored my visitor for the past two hours I switch off the game. Based on the time I know there is nothing worth watching on tv, unless I wanted to watch reruns of every drama I could think off, which I don’t. I remember mom renting a couple of dvd’s a couple of days back so I head over to the dvd rack.
She doesn’t disappoint. There are ten dvd’s of new movies I haven’t watched yet. I look through the titles and discard the ones that are in the horror category. There are only half left, which I don’t get. No one in this household likes horror movies so why bother renting them?
I raise the one’s left. “Pick one.” I tell her.
She squint her eyes, trying to read the titles from our distance. I shake my head and pass her the cases. It takes her a while but she grins and holds up one that got her interest. I take the case and load the dvd before plopping myself next to her.
It was a sappy romance movie. It was in English, and though I’ve improved in that subject I didn’t really care enough to remember the title. Risa was fully engrossed with the movies story. Her body was slightly tilted forward, her elbows planted on her knees while her head rested on her palms. She looks cute like that. Then again everything Risa does is cute. She’s just too damn adorable.
I turn back to the movie. The couple was preparing for diner, talking about something that had to do with a fish. Now I really don’t get the movie. The guy suddenly leaves the kitchen. A short while later he comes back to take their food and then comes back for the girl, who was till then cleaning up. He leads her outside where their food is placed on a picnic blanket, facing a beautiful sunset, and there is a single candle in the middle. Talk about romantic. I’d sure like to do that at least once. If I did that to Risa I wonder how she’ll react.
“Ai-chan” Risa suddenly piped. I hum. I tilt my head so I can see her face. She is blushing. Why is she blushing? My brow quirk as I watch her shift in her seat to face me properly. “Ai-chan…” she repeats, her hand reaches forward and close over my own. Electricity zaps through my spine and I suddenly feel stiff. I continue watching her face as she comes closer and closer. Wait she’s not… No, this is Risa I’m dealing with here. I swallow down the knot in my throat and I mumble a “Yes?”
“Ai-chan, can I… can I try something? Promise you won’t get mad.” She said slowly. Her eyes drops, there is something in her gaze that isn’t normal, well normal for Risa’s standards. I open my mouth and her eyes shoots back up to stare at me. Weirdly enough I start feeling hot. I swore the air conditioning is on, but at the moment it felt like I was outside, under the summer heat. I lick my lips, they suddenly feel dry.
“Okay.” I croak out. She starts leaning in, closing the gap between us. I stiffen more, how that’s possible I don’t know but I just do, and just stare at her. My breath catches as I watch her getting closer and I don’t dare move a muscle. Weirdly enough even though a part of me is screaming that this isn’t real another part of me wants it to be and is cheering for her not to pull away. Then I feel a soft pressure against my lips and every cell in my body seems to come alive.
It wasn’t a dream.
My head feels light, I feel like I was floating on air. My cheeks heats up, so does the rest of my body. There is a weird feeling in at the pit of my stomach, it’s not unpleasant, just unusual. I feel her breath against my face, I can smell the sweet scent of wild berries from her hair, most of all I feel her warm, soft lips on mine. There is a tingling sensation from where our lips touch that spreads to the rest of my body. It’s kind of addictive.
I feel her pull away, much too soon. Without thinking I lean back in for another kiss. Her mouth opens slightly as she gasps softly in shock, but she doesn’t pull away. After a short while I pull away, curious to her expression.
We are close, close enough that if one of us just leans in a little our lips would undoubtedly lock in another sweet kiss. I watch Risa’s expression as the light from the tv danced across her face. There is no trace of her earlier shock. Her expression I can’t quite read, which is quite shocking and a little unnerving, but I can tell her mind isn’t all there. Her eyes are half closed and her lips are slightly parted, I think I may have the same look.
I pull further away, just a little bit, and the glaze in her eyes fade away as they come back into focus and her face falls slightly, and inside I feel a surge of relief and giddiness. I extend a hand, she looks questioningly at it at first but she slips her hand in mine. I lean all the way back, until the back of my head rests on the arm of the couch. Slowly I pull her along with me, she doesn’t resist. Her free hand stretches out the side of my head to act as a balance. I bring her other hand to the other side. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her closer to me, wanting more contact from her. We are so close our foreheads are touching. We are literally breathing each other’s air. The only things separating us were the few layers of clothing on our back and the small space between our lips.
Risa doesn’t move. She just stares at me. It isn’t uncomfortable; there is something in her gaze that makes me want to kiss her again and again. Finally she moves. She closes the distance, her lips hovering over mine with just a few millimeters to spare. “Ai” she breathes out.
I can’t take the wait any longer and I lean up, closing the space between us. My eyelids flutter shut as we exchanged another soft contact, her lips starts moving against mine and I try to follow her lead. I’m probably not doing it right, I’ve never kissed anyone before, but it just feels so right. I don’t want to stop anytime soon. Unfortunately the need for air was too much and we break apart. I watch her quietly as she tries to even out her breathing. Her face is flush and her gaze is dark, alluring. I hear her sigh my name again, and my heart sores.
“Risa” I breath out. My right hand comes up to gently caress the contours of her soft face while my left slips up inside the back of her shirt. She gasped as I rub small circles on her back, I feel her shiver slightly and I feel elated that my touches can make her react like this. I lean up, placing butterfly kisses to wherever part of her face I could reach without straining my neck too much. She responds by trying to catch my lips whenever I pull back from one of the many kisses I leave all over her face. I feel her slip a hand into my shirt, lightly running her hands over my stomach. My torso lifts off the couch as a small moan escapes my lips before I slowly settled back down.
Risa jumps off me as a booming sound echoes around the living room. With wide eyes she stares at the tv in shock as the advertisement for the new phone played. We must have squished the remote by accident. I groan at the interruption and push off the couch. I snatch the stupid contraption from in between the cushions and switched off the distracting tube.
With the buzz of the tv gone, and the hypnotizing moment passed, we were left with an uneasy tension in the air. Risa had scooted to the far side of the couch, her cheeks painted a heavy red. She curled into herself, trying to make herself look small. I sighed as I plunked down on the other side. Normally I wouldn’t have minded the silence but with Risa looking like that, it just made everything awkward. And I hate awkward, it never ends good.
I rub my face, getting a hold of myself. My body still feels a little jittery, I can feel my heart pounding against my chest. God, how I wish I left the remote on the table. Stupid remote ruined the moment. I sneak a glance back at her. Even when she’s like that she still looks so adorable, I just want to kiss her again, but I don’t act on it. I don’t want to scare her. I look up at the clock. It was already half past 5. I look down to the stacked up dvd cases I left by the couch, the case of the movie we were just watching was on top.
Idea.
It was crazy, but it’s not like I have anything to lose.
“Gaki-san?” I tentatively call. At first there wasn’t a response, and I feel my gut sink, but after a few seconds she raised her head. I would have sighed in relief, but I hold it back. “Would you… like to stay for dinner?” I finish, silently hoping she would accept the offer.
Slowly her head bobbed up and down. I smile at the action and push off the couch. I station myself in front of Risa, holding out a hand. She stared at the hand for a while before she allowed her eyes trail up to my face. I grin at her.
“Let’s cook together.” Slowly Risa’s lips quirk into a smile, a small one but it was still a smile none the less, and she takes my hand. I pulled her to her feet and led the way to the kitchen. I don’t pull my hand back until we reach the fridge.
I pulled out a Tupperware of beef mix mom had placed in the fridge earlier and place it on the counter. I return to the fridge and begin pulling out lettuce, tomatoes, anything you could put on a burger that I can remember.
“Ai-chan, what are we going to do with this?” Risa asks. She’s stationed herself by the counter, turning the plastic container this way and that to try and guess what’s inside. Balancing the various condiments and vegetables in one hand I got the piece of index paper stuck to the fridge’s front and slipped it in her hands.
She took a look at the card. Her eyes widened as she stared at the things I lay out on the counter.
“Uso!” Her face brightens as she gleefully opens the container. “Are we really? Ah, yatta. Yatta! Ah, I want to eat it now.”
I take the container away from her. She pouts at this. She’s very cute when she does that and I can’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek. “No. I’ll take care of the patties. You clean the vegetables and chop the tomatoes and onion.”
She takes my hand and pulls it away from her face, she is blushing. “Fine.” She mumbles.
Just like that we get to work. I start frying the burgers while Risa takes care of the rest. The kitchen fills with the soft sizzling of cooking meat and the monotonous thuds of the knife hitting the chopping board. She starts humming a song. It is a familiar tune, something I’ve heard some time back but I can’t seem to place the title. I hum along, all the while trying to find the lyrics to the melody. Softly Risa starts adding the lyrics, her lovely voice stringing the words into the melody. The lyrics come to me and I start singing along. I glace back at her, at the same time she turns and our eyes meet. She’s smiling widely now, her eyes shining in delight, like they always do. The awkwardness was gone, thank God, and at that moment I felt that everything was right with the world, that I am where I’m supposed to be.
It’s a little past six by the time I finish.
I volunteered to set the table while Risa decorates the patties with whatever I’ve taken out of the fridge. I trust her better judgment in the taste department and leave her. I place the placemats in the middle of the table, on opposite sides, and put away the extra chairs. I go back to the kitchen in search of candles and matches. Risa sends me a confused look but I wave her off and I hasten my search. I find them in a drawer. The candles were already attached to a candle holder; dad must have forgotten to take them out of it. The match box was right beside them.
I slip out of the kitchen, hiding the candles behind my back. Risa just rolls her eyes as she continues decorating the plates. I set the candles in the middle of the table, light them and switch off the lights. I hurry back to the kitchen.
Just in time. Risa was trying to balance the two plates in one hand while trying to grab the pitcher of iced tea with the other. I slip beside her and take the plates from her hands. She gasps and jumps away a little, her eyes wide. “Ai-chan! You scared me.”
“I’ll take these. Come on.” I smile and head for the dining room.
I put the plates down and turn back to her. She is standing stock still in between the border of the kitchen and the dining room, her mouth slightly hanging in shock. I walk over to her, gently take her hand, and take the pitcher in the other, and lead her to the nearest chair. I pull it out, acting like the perfect gentleman and motion for her to take a seat. She blinks back at me, still not quite believing what’s happening, but she sits. I pour her a glass of the drink and shuffle over to the other side and do the same to my glass.
“It’s not as romantic, but it’s the best I can do.” I say. She just stares back at me uncomprehendingly. I can imagine the gears in her mind slowly work as they pieced together some elaborate theory just to end up with a simple answer.
Her eyes go wide. “Ai-chan… this…”
I open my arms and make a sweeping gesture to the table. I look up at her and put on my most sincere smile. There is no hesitation to my voice as I speak. “I’m just picking up where the movie left off.”
