-------------------------------------------Chapter 7The morning sun shone through the window of the hotel room. Birds could be heard chirping in the distance, some were probably on the balcony.
Risa loved mornings; however, this one morning beat all the rest hands down. This was because not only was the sun shining and the birds were chirping, but also beside her slept a beautiful girl. Risa turned her body to come face to face with the aforementioned girl. Her short -but beginning to grow- hair was splayed over the pillow. Her breathing was slow and steady; her face had a soft and peaceful look. How much or how long Risa admired Ai was unknown, but she felt as if it wasn't enough. She wanted to spend her whole life admiring the girl in front of her. She smiled wider as she saw Ai grip tighter onto her precious red blanket and then softly murmur "Risa..." in her sleep.
The whole setting felt surreal, she couldn't believe the events that had happened. She replayed the moments from last night; the heated kisses and the um... exploration they did felt like a dream, Risa felt herself blush heavily simply at the thought. They had both agreed that, although they were a couple now, they weren't ready for
it just yet. However... Couple! That word alone brought joy to her heart; just knowing that her love was not unrequited and was reciprocated allowed her to sigh in relief. Everything will be okay now, whatever ordeals will be triumphed over by the both of them now, no more solos.
Maybe she sighed a little too loudly because Ai began to stir.
"'morning..." She grumbled; she still sounded half asleep and maybe even a little angry for waking up.
"Good morning" Ai supported her body with her arms and pushed herself up. She was now in a half sitting position, her body facing Risa; her right hand supporting her and her left hand going up to push her hair back. The word '
Hot' repeated itself in Risa's mind and she fully admired the sight before her. She loved how she was allowed to look now compared to the other times in which she would force herself to tear her eyes away from the girl. Ai was especially sexy during concerts too, and it was near impossible
not to stare.
"What time did you wake up?"
"Um... a little before you did."
"Thinking?" Risa loved Ai's one word question sometimes, especially when she understood her. It was one of those things where she felt she really knew Ai more than the others. Ai seemed to understand Risa as well, maybe she wasn't correct all the time, but Ai sometimes just simply knew what had gone on in Risa's mind. That should be expected though, they had known each other for more than seven years, but Risa always seems to find new things to admire in Ai.
"Yeah I was," she replied softly "still can't believe everything that happened though..." A soft laugh was heard from the girl sitting beside her.
"I know how you feel; I can finally do this..." Ai half turned her body, bent down and kissed Risa on the lips, afterwards her face lingered there for a moment, the two locking eye contact. "Or this..." Ai's head moved lower and kissed Risa on the neck; she felt her body lurch a bit from the contact and a soft moan escaped from her lips. "Or..." they locked eye contact once more, Ai's eyes flashed a burning desire for something, and Risa knew what that something was. She couldn't help but blush under the stare of the girl above her, she felt naked and vulnerable even. "Well, I guess not
that yet, but just this is good enough." Ai brought her head down to capture her lips once more, only this time it was longer and more heated.
They suddenly heard a knock on the door and Risa groaned loudly; Ai just pouted but smiled at Risa's reaction. She got off the bed and headed for the door, looking through the peep hole. The older of the two then gasped and turned around; her expression pressed a giant panic button in Risa's mind.
"Who's there?" The longer haired girl whispered.
"It's Reina"
"So? Let her in." Risa was confused why the girl would feel threatened over one of their group members.
"No, that's the
problem; it's early morning, we're both in our pajamas and... well I don't want rumors to start about us
again." Risa couldn't help but wince at the other girl's words. 'Again', it was because of their previous closeness that Ai tried to put distance between their relationship. The reaction queen didn't care much on what other people would say, but Ai didn't seem strong enough to handle all the rumors and teasing. That's why one day they had a talk, and Ai said she wanted some distance.
"Fine, I understand, what do you want me to do?" Risa gave in; she didn't want their relationship to end again.
"Uh... hide here!" Ai ushered the highly apprehensive girl into her closet and closed it. Then she went up to the door, gave herself a little clothes check, and then opened the door.
Risa couldn't really see much except through the lines the closet door design had. However, she could hear perfectly fine and realized Tanakacchi was upset about something.
"Reina! Are you okay? Were... were you crying?" Ai closed the door when Tanakacchi entered and sat at the edge of the bed. It didn't seem like the small girl wanted to talk, she probably just wanted some sort of counsel. Ai went to sit beside Tanakacchi, worry clearly in her voice.
"Even though I might not be much help, I think it would be better if you told me what was wrong..." There was silence, and Risa didn't really know what was going on. She could only see their torso and could not see either of their faces at all.
She then saw Ai sit closer to Tanakacchi and wrap her left arm around her shoulder. If Risa didn't understand the situation she would have been slightly jealous, but right now her concern was for the usually energetic girl; albeit some of those times were anger, but at least she had energy.
"Ai-chan I..." Tanakacchi finally spoke, and what a horribly broken voice it was too. It was completely unlike the usually filled with confidence voice the leader and sub-leader always heard. It was a voice filled with hurt that made Risa want to cry just listening to it.
There was silence yet again and then Risa noticed Tanakacchi leaning closer to Ai. There was an unsettling silence after that and for some reason Risa just knew what was happening. She was about to leap out of the closet but Ai beat her to it.
"What are you doing?!" Ai quickly pushed the short girl away and stood up, slightly away from Tanakacchi. The other girl just stayed there, sitting on the edge of the bed unmoving.
Since Ai stood up Risa could actually see her face now, it was filled with shock. Then the Morning Musume leader glanced at the closet with a guilty look. Risa caught this but didn't blame Ai, instead she wanted to jump out and scream, 'Ai's mine!' of course she refrained from doing so.
After awhile Tanakacchi stood up as well, her eyes fixated on Ai. "Look, Ai-chan just listen..." she started as she advanced towards the other girl.
"No wait, Reina. I'm with Ri-- Gaki-san now." A flicker of anger flashed through Tanakacchi's eyes as she heard this. Then she smiled, at least, Risa thought it was a smile, since she couldn't see her mouth very well. The glitter loving girl grabbed Ai's wrist and pulled her onto the bed. Ai gave a startled scream since she obviously did not anticipate such a move; neither did Risa for that matter as she was going through slight shock as well. Tanakacchi took this moment to position herself on top of the short haired girl and pushed her lips onto Ai's.
If there ever was a moment to jump out it would be now, as Risa bursted from the closet startling Tanakacchi. The slightly younger girl screamed and leaped away to the far side of the room. Ai quickly got up with an expression saying, '
My god, I have a headache.'
"Ah, didn't know you were there..." Tanakacchi finally said, obviously still in shock since that was a fairly redundant thing to say.
"Yeah well I was, and I would appreciate it if you kept you're hands off of my Ai-chan." Risa looked towards the girl in question expecting some sort of back-up.
"Gaki-san wait..." was her unexpected reply, and Risa felt a little pain swelling in her chest as she looked away from the two of them in anger. "Reina... do you...?" Ai asked a fairly subtle question to Tanakacchi and Risa's anger only built up.
'Why
is Ai asking this again?'
"Yeah I like you, problem?" Tanakacchi was back to her confident self, only she leveled up to obnoxiously cocky now. There was definitely something wrong with her, but Risa couldn't feel sympathy anymore.
Risa looked at Ai again, noting her expression as she stared at Tanakacchi. There was a small conflict within Ai's mind, Risa could tell. '
Ai, with such a big problem, are we going to lose our relationship again?' She knew Ai had some feelings for Tanakacchi, but also knew a lot of it had to do with lust. She didn't want to lose Ai, especially when they had finally gotten together, but she couldn't change the girl's mind if she really did decide to go with Tanakacchi.
'
Why us?'
--------------------------------- They had decided to crash at Junjun's place since she lived alone, reducing the hassle of over-polite parents and the reserved and awkward attitude they had to give them. It was a nice little apartment that was not too far from the train station for convenience. It was neat and tidy as well, quite an amazing feat since living by yourself tended to lead to laziness.
"Do you guys want something to drink?" Junjun asked as they entered the place; she immediately headed for the kitchen after removing her shoes.
"Orange juice!!!"
"Do you have apple juice?"
"Water..." Junjun looked at Aika with one raised brow.
"Water? Are you sure you don't want something else?" Aika waved her hands in front of her, signaling that water was just fine. Junjun shrugged and gave everyone their respective drinks. An echo of thanks was given to the tall girl in return as she went to take a seat at the dining table everyone seemed to be sitting at.
She took a seat across from Aika and because of Junjun's long legs, accidentally brushed against the thigh of the baby faced girl. Aika quickly stifled her squeak when she felt the movement, but Junjun seemed to notice.
"Sorry..." she quickly said, making sure to tuck her own legs under her chair. Aika couldn't help but mentally kick herself for causing Junjun to take it the wrong way. If anything, she enjoyed that brief skin contact and was rather upset that the girl across from her was making sure it was not going to happen again.
"So what should we do?" piped up the energetic Kusumi-san; the glass cup that used to contain orange juice, empty before her. That girl can get hyperactive on anything besides chocolate it seemed. Aika supposed that maybe it was for the better that there were energetic people around sometimes; since they seemed to balance out the calmer portion of the group, mainly Aika and sometimes Junjun. However, the tall banana loving girl can occasionally get into some heated arguments too, or have sudden bursts of energy, but that was good, in a way she balanced out into a fun person.
'
There I go babbling about Junjun again...' she couldn't help but think to herself, shutting off her train of thought.
"I have a Wii in my room, we can play that."
"OH! I want to play Raving Rabbits!"
"Oh my god I love that game!" and with that, Linlin and Kusumi-san both raced to Junjun's room, which they assumed was the one between the computer room and the washroom, but stopped when they got to the doorway.
"What's wrong?" Aika asked, slightly worried from the expression of shock both of them seemed to carry. She joined them and stood at the doorway, peering inside. What she saw was definitely not expected; she saw giant posters of all the current Morning Musume members on the walls and a few photobooks can be seen on the desk. She couldn't help but blush when she saw a picture of herself blown up on the wall as well, and it worsened when she realized which photo it was. Out of all the photo posters the tall girl could get, it just had to be a sexy one. Next to hers she couldn't help but notice though, was the bikini wearing Leader and she involuntarily sighed inwardly.
'
So it wasn't just me huh...'
The biggest one was Junjun herself however, and Aika couldn't help but want it herself. The expression of the girl in the poster made Aika feel warm inside, but she also felt a little bit embarrassed to stare at it.
Overcoming the shock, Linlin went into the room to get the aforementioned game console, which was also the main reason for even entering the room. Kusumi-san seemed to have shaken away from the shock as well since she exclaimed loudly that, "Junjun is like a Morning Musume wota huh?" Aika was about to comment that that was rude until she saw the expression Junjun seemed to wear. It was a mix of amusement and slight embarrassment, but it seemed she was fine with the comment overall.
The two noisy girls grabbed the game console and brought it out into the living room where the television was. Sounds of yelling, screams of victory, screams of loss, and overall loud chatter could be heard from Junjun's apartment until it was 8pm. Halfway through they paid less attention to playing and more for talking. They became much closer than before and seemed to understand each other more.
"Do you guys want something to eat?" Junjun continued to act like the host and took care of everyone. She had gotten up and went into the kitchen, looking through the refrigerator.
"What time is it?" asked Koharu-san, craning her neck around to search for a clock.
"It's already eight! I have to go home..." Linlin said with a sad face, Aika couldn't help but notice and patted her on the back.
"Don't worry; we'll hang out like this again sometime." Linlin looked back at the girl beside her and smiled.
"Ah, Koharu has to go home too or her parents will be angry." Koharu-san said, almost expecting some counsel from Aika as well, but Aika however, chose to ignore the look and gave Linlin one last pat on the head.
"Koharu-san, are you getting picked up?" The girl in question frowned slightly but replied back.
"No, I'm walking with Linlin since I live close to her."
"Oh" was her only response, earning a curious look from Koharu-san, "ah it's just that, my parents aren't at home and I live pretty far, so I was hoping I could catch a ride with you." they spoke on a more familiar term since they understood each other more now.
"Sorry..." Koharu-san apologized with a guilty look.
"No no, it's not your fault don't worry." she gave the girl a reassuring look but then absently looked around, "But, what should I do now?" she asked no one in particular.
"You can sleep over?" someone who hadn't been talking the whole time suddenly spoke and Aika turned to look at the girl. Junjun stood at the doorway of the kitchen, leaning lightly on her side.
"Where?" again, Aika almost kicked herself, it was pretty obvious whose place she meant but she just couldn't process the information right.
"Here." Junjun said simply, she smiled at Aika, telling her not to be so polite all the time. Somehow she must have known that Aika would have politely declined.
"O-okay... thank you Junjun." Aika shyly smiled back, not noticing the growing displeasure showing itself on Koharu-san's face.
"No!"
"Huh?" Both her and Junjun looked questioningly at Koharu-san, not understanding why it
wouldn't be a good idea for miss smiles to sleep over at Junjun's.
"I-I...” unable to give a good reason for her sudden outburst, the tall girl shifted her eyes to the floor.”No... It's nothing..." Aika scrutinized Koharu-san for a moment, trying to understand what in the world went on in that girl's head.
"C'mon Linlin, we should hurry, we might miss our train." and with that the two were off.
Junjun went to the door with them and continually waved at them as they left. Aika joined her as well, thinking that it was some Chinese custom; she watched as Koharu-san stalked off while Linlin would occasionally glance back and wave. Linlin gave a rueful smile and Aika wanted to run up and hug her, she looked like a little puppy being separated from her owner and it was too cute to ignore.
When the two girls were finally out of view Junjun closed the door. She then headed for the kitchen while Aika still stood at the entrance, realizing
now that she was alone with Junjun. That thought was quickly replaced however when she noticed that Junjun was cooking dinner; she quickly went into the kitchen to assist the tall girl.
"I'll help!"
"No no, that's okay, you're the guest."
"What? No, that's not right; you did so much for us tonight. I should help out."
Junjun looked at Aika and grinned, and then she patted her on the head, "You're such a good girl."
This stopped Aika right in her tracks, whilst she enjoyed the moment of the contact between her head and Junjun's hand. She quickly broke out of her moment when Junjun used the time to begin cooking. Aika pouted while standing under the doorway of the kitchen, slightly annoyed for being so useless at a time like this. If anything, the baby faced girl wanted to show how good her cooking skills were and get some praise from Junjun on the side.
With a sudden burst of determination she ran and wrapped her arms around the other girl's waist from behind, feeling the girl in her arms tense up immediately from the contact. Aika took this to her advantage and dragged the girl outside of the kitchen and then quickly locked Junjun out of her own kitchen.
"Mitsui!!" forgetting the 'san' after Aika's name due to shock and slight frustration, Junjun could be heard knocking on the door.
"I'm cooking tonight~!" the girl inside the kitchen said with a sing-song voice, causing Junjun to cease all knocking. She must have been surprised at hearing such a carefree and happy Aika since she, herself, was shocked at the glee she exerted.
She couldn't hear Junjun anymore but she could feel that the girl was still in front of the door. Aika felt a little guilty but told herself it'll be okay when she's done, and so she continued to cook and unconsciously hummed as she did.
The girl felt herself grin when she heard a voice humming softly along with her from behind the door.
'
Haha, Junjun is so silly sometimes, but I'm glad I fell in love with her.'
With her newly sorted emotions, Aika began to hum freely again.
