My Pawfect Rebirth

144: Passionfruit

'Though I'm tired and I can tell she's tired... it wouldn't be hard to try.' he thought as he finished his shower.

He walked out of the bathroom to see the greenette was still in the kitchen but looked to have finished cleaning all the dishes and was drying the countertops down. 

'Who knows what will happen to us after all of this is over, so I want to make sure that this is... worth it.' he thought and walked through the apartment and into the kitchen. 

The greenette didn't seem to notice the blond walking into the kitchen as she continued wiping everything down, but suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist from behind. 

"Ack! K-Kacchan, what's wrong?" she asked, slowly glancing up at him. 

He didn't answer and gently placed sweet and subtle kisses on her neck and reached one of his hands to clasp with hers.

Each kiss slightly caused the greenette to lose her breath as it felt like each press of his lips burned her skin. 

"Kacchan... what's-" 

She lifted her head up to try and talk, but was immediately interrupted by a pair of lips meeting hers. 

"Mmph! Ka-" 

She tried to talk again, but he wouldn't seem to stop pressing his lips onto hers. When he finally did stop, he forced her to turn her body around and then placed his hands onto her hips and lifted her off the ground and onto the countertops. 

Once she was on the counter, he rested his right hand onto the counter and his left onto her cheek and leaned to kiss her again. Though the greenette didn't know what was happening, she soon caved in and wrapped both her arms around his neck and yearned for more.

When they did break away again, both of them were panting and gazing deep into each other's eyes. 

"Kacchan... why...?" she breathed. 

"Because... this might be... the last chance... we get to do something... like this..." he answered, still trying to catch his breath. 

"You mean... the last time we can connect?" 

"In this life at least." 

The greenette tried to think about it and he was probably right. Though neither of them were 100% sure that this life was going to be the same after all of this chaos was over, they knew things were going to be different afterwards. 

"But can't we... just not connect?" she asked nervously. 

His eyes widened and he looked worried as he saw her expression. 

"Why?" 

"Because... I just... want to be in your arms. I'm not saying we don't have to connect again, but it's... it's a little painful." she answered nervously.

Not what the blond was expecting her to answer with, but he made a slight chuckle at her response. 

"It's not funny, it was just a lot the last time we connected, honest." she said as she looked embarrassed. 

"But you are wanting me to be with you right now, right?" he asked. 

"Kacchan... I would want nothing more than to be with you this entire night." she responded. 

"Hmph, good, because I wasn't planning on letting you go tonight either." he said as he rested his hand on her cheek again and slowly leaned in to rest his lips onto hers once more.
