Amidst the shadows and the secrets

Night Eighty-Four

In the end, Reiji won the first game, but Ruki won the second game. 

"Do stay in contact in case something comes up on Wednesday?" Reiji walked them down to the front door.

Ruki nodded. "Of course." His eyes found Chisana up on the stairs. "When they do know you can go out together without the others around. I'm sure you want time alone."

Reiji felt Chisana's presence nearby. "That is none of your business. If nothing changes, I will see you on Wednesday at eight." He let them out and closed the door. Within a second, he picked up Chisana and went straight to his room.

Are we finally alone? Chisana tiptoed to kiss him. "I wanted to do that for a while."

Smiling in the kiss, he picked her up and moved to his chair. "Same," he muttered in the kiss and wrapped his arms around her back.

Is it bad that I'm starting to get curious? Her hands wandered off, and she realized he didn't wear anything under his shirt for feeling his soft and cold skin. Nice, straight access to get closer. I made it a little easier for you as well, darling. Except, she broke the kiss. "Are we really going to tell them tomorrow?"

He nodded. "We have taken our time, and I wanted to steer away from anyone teasing us. I know a few would."

"Hmm, let me guess, Laito and... Shu?" She earned a kiss. "Laito is already teasing me."

"I'm not surprised." He played with her hair when she placed her head on his shoulder. "I wanted to get to know you first," he mentioned with a kiss on her forehead, "on a romantic level. Is it not normal to date first for a while before making it official? Sure, I would introduce you to the others at some point, but we already live together under one roof."

Turning her head, she kissed his neck. "Are the others not close to having this kind of conversation?"

He chuckled and lifted her head by her chin. "They are not." He closed the little gap and kissed her.

Yay. Answering the kiss, she felt his hands on her hip and let her hand wander off under his shirt. Maybe we should plan a few things. I'm getting more and more curious. In the kiss, she moved and straddled him. It's a good thing, I can go to my doctor tomorrow. Not a night too late. Getting lost in the kiss, she felt his hands under her shirt.

Breaking the kiss, he planted kisses over her neck and down to her shoulder. Aware of things getting harder, he kept her trapped in a hug. "It is so tempting to go to my room." For once, he wanted something else from her than her blood. Feeling her hands, he pushed her away a little and made eye contact.

"Are you coming with me tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" He needed a moment to collect his thoughts.

She nodded. "I called my doctor earlier, remember. He had a spot available tomorrow at eight in the morning."

Remembering why she made the appointment, he kissed her again. "I will. That's why I asked you to make the appointment as early as possible. It also means that we will be later in bed."

"Is it wise to keep coming to me in the early afternoon? I'm not the only one who has trouble keeping my hands to myself." She laid her head in his neck. "Are we waiting with that because you want the others to know first?"

"Perhaps." He had no idea. What made him wait? "Or it could be because we're not that long together. We have dated a few times before I made it official," he saw the necklace around her neck. "Now that it is official... I want it to be special because it will be the first time for us both, Chisana. Not to mention that everyone here could hear us. That is stopping me as well. Almost as if we have an audience, and I don't want to share you in that regard."
