The Veil

Chapter # 40

(Name) was awakened by gentle caresses in her hair. She nuzzled into the soft touch, trying to fall asleep again. She heard Satoru giggle as his fingers pulled at her hair, not painful enough to hurt her. She ignored his antics in the early morning. He pulled her close so she was laying on his chest, "Wifey, wakey." He muttered.

"No, let me sleep."

"What can I do for you to wake up?"

"Nothing, don't talk." She snuggled into him, she appreciated how warm he was.
(Name) was half asleep when she felt his hand down her back, she acted immediately, grabbing his hand before it reached its destination, "don't."

"Aw, come on, if you're going to use me as your heater, at least let me have some fun." His hand carried out the task of the one that was being held by her.

"Satoru!" She squealed, grabbing his other hand as well. Satoru smirked mischievously, pivoting his hips so she was soon held down by his body, her hands held in hers. (Name) realized, in her sleepy state, she has lost the high ground.

"Get off of me, you big dork!"

"Nah, I think I'll stay like this for now." He was grinning from ear to ear.

"Satoru!"

"Yes, wifey?"

She narrowed her eyes into slits, glaring at him as furiously as she can, and said, "fuck you."
"That can be arranged right here right now," he seductively purred, snuggling his nose against her collarbone.

"I didn't mean it in that sense!"

"Do tell me what you meant?" Satoru was enjoying every bit of her embarrassment.

"I meant---" she realized, she wasn't wearing pants. And her legs were currently wrapped around him, to push him off.

"Yes?" His fingers drummed against her exposed skin. The intimacy of the moment was crashed by an obscure doubt in her heart.

"Nothing..." She muttered, not looking him in the eyes.

"Tell me." He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.

She smiled and said, "Satoru, don't ever change."

He was puzzled, knitting his eyebrows, he said, "What makes you think I will?"

"Nothing in particular..."

"You don't have to worry about me changing, I hope you don't get tired of me in the future because that'll hurt a little."

She pinched his cheek, "just a little?"

"Okay, more than a little." He spoke, his hands grabbing her sides, pulling her close.

"(Name)..."

"Yes..." She was mesmerized by his eyes, like always.

"Kiss me?" He smiled down at her, his eyes holding a fragile look in them, the look that was reserved for her.

She pulled him down so she can crash her lips onto his. He gave in to her, he has tasted her hundreds of times before. After each time, he concludes that he loves her taste.
She ran her hands through his tangled hair. She parted, taking huge gulps of air into her air-deprived lungs.

"(Name)..." He dipped, trying to kiss her again. (Name) stopped him, pushing her hand over his mouth.

"Satoru, we need to get out of bed."

"We can always take a few more minutes, no one will notice." His voice was husky, weighing with arousal. She shivered at his tone, biting her lip. She did want to stay here with him all day but there were important things that needed to be done, like ending the Culling games.
