Wind Girl [Tatsumaki x OC]

[Chapter 4] Still here

Tatsumaki listened to Miros with more eagerness than she had expected.

She was shell-shocked for a moment while processing the fact this guy had teamed up with an S-Class before he was even promoted, Tatsumaki even pondered the chance of Miros making this stuff up. 

Miros's eyes were open, staring at the stars while his usual happy vibe appeared to be gone, this uneased Tatsumaki, she had never seen this part of him and for some reason it seemed really... weird.

For the first time in the whole night, Tatsumaki spoke her first words since the story had begun.

-"What happened next?"- Miros was still with his head on her lap, she was staring down at him and had forgotten to take her hand off his arm.

She suddenly realized they were grazing each other's hands, but this time she didn't regret it, the Tornado Of Terror wanted to hold hands.

-"Genos waited for a while in the hospital until he made sure I was ok, I wasn't expecting to see him again in the S-Class, that reunion was one of the happiest moments I've had since I joined the Hero Association, I don't know if he felt the same way though, maybe he did in his own cyborg-robotic way, I sure do hope so..."- Miros realized of the touch of their hands, he was stunned but didn't want to break the moment.

For a moment, the silence remained, the stars were fully set upon the sky and it was late.

-"They found out, didn't they."- She utilized a strange lingering tone, almost as if she had lived the story too.

-"Of course, Etsuko insisted on coming to the hospital too. I didn't like all of them seeing me covered in bandages but I apreciated them coming there. It was one of the very few days I skipped school in my life.-He held a silence before continuing.-"Ms Yaromoi was crying and craddling me, Mr seemed dissapointed but still very much worried. Later on he revealed to me he had known of my getaways, that didn't really surprise me. What did surprise me was he allowed me to carry on, while being more responsible. He acknowledged my powers and their potential but didn't want to see the Miss worried...Etsuko was crying too, but hugging Mister... That's the thing I regret the most about that night... I love all of them so much..."

Miros suddenly seemed to return to his senses, ashamed for having talked so long witouth a concern for her.

-"I'm sorry... I did warn you that was a whole lot of time witouth shutting up, didn't I?"- That smile again, so warm... Tatsumaki was more relaxed at the sight of it.

-"It's fine... That was an interesting history brat... Do you still live with them?"

-"No, I left as I turned 16, by then it was legal to have a place of my own as long as I could prove I payed for it and could take care of myself. Now they're not worried of seeing me all beat up anymore. I send them letters once in a while, detailing my adventures, the happy parts that is..."

Tatsumaki admired the conviction Miros had to not have his family worried or involved. It reminded her a little bit of Fubuki... The life of a hero was hard.

-"Thanks for letting me run my mouth like that. You're a really good listener..."- Miros sat next to her while not letting the touch of their hands go away.

Tatsumaki fully interwined her fingers with his.

-"It's... No trouble..."

What was this heat? This sudden feeling of moving creatures on her stomach? If he was causing this trough powers, she'd kill him.

They both got up, unadvertedly moving towards Tatsumaki's house.

-"This is what I meant... Spiritual, see?"-Tatsumaki took silence, she wanted to hear him speak.

Miros was looking to the stars as she looked at the ground watching their feet move. He spoke.

-"I feel like you're very like that in a sense. I hope that after we are both long gone, we can meet again when the universe clashes us into each other, but not as strangers..."

She felt every sentiment of each word and wondered if she was really starting to love him. That touch, so soft... Softer still with each step.

-"I hope so too...brat."- Tatsumaki looked at him, this time, she didn't try to hide her face. She'd never do that again.

They both slept very calm that night, but it took them a while. Miros couldn't stop thinking about her, Tatsumaki simply wondered of the future, snuggly, in her bed...

A few months of dates went by.. Each with it's own bit of physical and mental development, she was fully warmed up to him now, as was he. Eventually, Tatsumaki did begin to see these "hang outs" as dates, even though she never disclosed this to him...

Before both had a chance to react, they found each other sitting down at the same seat used the first time they went out, this time, Tatsumaki had her head on his chest while Miros's hand grazed her thighs...

This time, it was the wind girl's eyes which were shut. Until he spoke of course.

-"Sometimes I wonder if I was born for moments like these... Maybe I was born to watch the sun being swallowed by the sea as your chest raised and fell calmly, witouth a care in the world... Maybe I was born for this moment... Maybe I was born to meet you..."- Miros had spoken with a really gentle tone, she was hypnotized...

-"You really are a smooth talker... I feel the same way though... These...Dates... They are one of the best things in my week, maybe even the best... Thank you."- Her heart was racing while pronouncing these words.

-"Oh, you have something on your face, silly..."

Before Tatsumaki could ask her what it was as her head rose up to see his, Miros grabbed her by the hips, being pulled closer and having their lips meet.

That kiss lasted for a few seconds before breaking apart. But it felt like minutes for Miros.

She closed her eyes apreciating the moment... As she pulled away, she couldn't help but be drowned in a storm of excitement and heat, this was her first time feeling something as strong as this so there wasn't a pre-meditated reaction from her part.

-"You should have warned me..."- Her head returned to his chest again as she hugged him.

-"I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait... Your lips always struck me as soft from the moment we met."

-"Are they?"

-"More than I imagined... Can we do that again?"

She left a small chuckle while hugging him and repeating the expression of love.

For some reason... As they did, she felt the sudden urge to stick her tongue down his throat... For a while she managed to control that impulse before realizing she was the Tornado Of Terror, S-Class Hero number two, and if she wanted to have that kiss be of S-Class quality, that's what would happen.

Miros was surprised by such intensity, but didn't resist. They both fused for a while, genuinely couldn't let go of each other, he had given much thought to this moment, and now that it had come, no monster or power could ever break it.

Tatsumaki had wondered if this moment would ever come for her... But this was real, this wasn't just a piece of her imagination, he was real, his tongue, his face, his chest, hands, scars, burns, everything...

For the first time, she realized, after thinking of this situation for so long, he hadn't vanished after as figments of what we want usually do, he was still here.
