3.8 Massage Therapy

A/N: Sorry for such a long time, I've been balancing it as one long story chapter, one oneshot and the cycle repeats but oneshots take for longer to complete writing fully.

I don't know why I feel the need to mention this but have you noticed how this story is a lot more Rae-centric? The first two stories in this book were arguably more Sykkuno-centric, but lately it's just been easier to think of Rae as the main character and write from her perspective (even though it's third person), anyway I wanted to say that but I don't know why.

19th December 2009 10:00am

Sunday morning, the last morning of the weekend until the week starts all over again, only this Sunday morning was different, hell, this whole weekend was different than usual. As you may know, over the course of the entire past week Thomas and Rae's individual parents have been slowly transitioning into Thomas' house, and on Saturday Rae had fully moved into her new humble abode, marking this Sunday as the first Sunday in which Rae and Thomas had been living together, and they sure as hell have enjoyed doing so.

Being able to spend time together whenever they wanted with the excuse that they were just 'studying' was a pleasure that both of them took every opportunity to experience, like now, it was 10:00am which was around the normal time at which Thomas and Rae would usually wake up and they were both just in the kitchen, sitting on stools at the kitchen counter while being right next to each other, hip to hip even, as they ate breakfast together, that being just some random cereal they had.

"Hey." Thomas called out to Rae, who turned her head with a curious expression before Thomas swiftly leant in, giving Rae a quick peck on the lips as he continued eating his food, but Rae just blushed red and was stun locked with her mouth full of cereal, surprised that Thomas would do that even though her mom could be hiding around any corner, waiting to jump out and see.

It was a few moments before Rae was able to break out of her stunned position, in which time she was just mindlessly staring at Thomas, thinking about how she was so overjoyed to be able to spend every day with him, from morning to night, it truly was a dream come true for the short girl.

And she wasn't the only who thought so, in fact, Thomas was just as overjoyed for the same reasons she was, it also meant that not only did he have someone that he could kiss and cuddle with but he also had someone whom he could talk to since he and Jeremy only really had a friendship in school, and as such through these holidays Thomas rarely had anyone to talk to besides his dad, and that soon became boring to Thomas, despite his love for his father, but hey, at least it doesn't have to be like that anymore, and even after Thomas and Rae do eventually have to part ways with their romantic relationship, he'll always have that person who he can simply talk to, and that was enough for Thomas.

Just as Rae was about to give Thomas a taste of his own medicine, she leant in to return his actions with a kiss on the cheek, only to get halfway as she heard incoming footsteps, now she had a choice, risk it all and swiftly peck his cheek, or play it safe and do it some other time, Rae ultimately chose the latter option, backing away from Thomas as she continued eating unsuspiciously, at least, she tried to.

"Hey kids! Great news!" Jenny entered the room and stood opposite the couple, all the while Rae just rolled her eyes while Thomas stopped eating his cereal.

"Mom! We're not kids! We're teenagers!" Rae moaned, unhappy with the word she had used, though Rae's mother wasn't the one to brush it off as nothing or whatever.
