Dangerous Lines | Yuzuru Hanyu

46. Embrace

The small trip between the venue and Yuzuru's hotel seemed to just take a lifetime. 

He had been stopped on multiple occasions as they tried to leave, something that wasn't entirely surprising when he was the man of the show. 

This was probably the first time that Yae saw him in his reality, close to all the staff and people who worked with him every day to make these shows possible. He was still the same lighthearted guy that she had met in that coffee shop.

It was undoubtedly obvious how he ran away from a woman that Yaeko was certain to be his mother. The similarities were so obvious that she couldn't ignore them, even if he tried his best for the whole thing to go unnoticed.

"Are you hiding me from your family?" she asked in a mocking tone. Yaeko didn't mind it but messing with him was always too good to miss out.

"I..." he stopped for a while, seemingly slightly dumbfounded by how she phrased the question. In all Yuzu's fashion, however, he quickly returned back to normal "I'm not hiding you. I want you to meet but not when you're not supposed to be here or when I just want to have as much time by your side until you have to leave me again."

The reality of their situation was equally despairing and frustrating but he was right, They should probably enjoy it while they could.

"I was just messing with you" she tried to lighten the mood as they finally left the car and he guided her through the hotel halls.

He didn't actually say anything more after that, merely holding her hand and getting her where he so badly wanted her, alone and in the privacy of his room.

Once inside, they stared at one another for a few seconds, uncertain and nervous, despite their familiarity with one another.

It didn't matter that they were already naked before they had even reached the bed. This was like a dance. A slow, graceful and well-rehearsed ballet of bodies moving as if one. They did this as if they were long-time lovers.

Yuzu made her feel like she was loved and cherished. Like she was a delicate flower that he needed to take care of. A fragile petal that could break if he wasn't careful enough and, even when he got more aggressive and rough, he never once forgot to be gentle.

That was probably one of the reasons she was so addicted to him. He made her feel like she had never been loved before.

His tongue traced every single inch of her body, leaving trails of fire where it touched. She felt as if she was melting under his touch, a sweet and delicious agony that only seemed to make her more desperate for it.

By the time they reached the point where he would finally fuck her, she was begging for it.

"Please," she moaned against his ear, unable to contain herself anymore. Her legs were wrapped around his waist and her nails dug into his skin, drawing blood in some places "Please fuck me."

Yuzu moaned at that, his breathing becoming more and more ragged as he desperately tried to regain control of himself.

He started to thrust inside of her, slowly at first, making sure that she was comfortable with the pace before increasing it. His hands moved from her hips, where they had rested the whole time, to her ass. He grabbed it, kneading it in his hands as he continued to fuck her, their bodies moving in perfect sync.

Her orgasm was blinding, a wave of pure pleasure that seemed to crash against her entire body. Her whole world was turned upside down and the only thing that existed at this moment was Yuzu, his lips, his body, his arms holding her close to him.

He came not long after her, his teeth digging into the skin on her shoulder.

They stayed like that for a while, trying to catch their breaths and slowly coming back to reality.

After some minutes, Yuzu gently pulled out of her, cleaning himself with tissues. He then lay down next to her, holding her tight and keeping her warm. Yae felt cold without him and she didn't want that.

"Can we stay like this forever?" she asked him, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

He looked back at her, smiling softly and kissed her forehead "I'll make it happen. Somehow. But for now, let's just enjoy each other's company."

She nodded at that, knowing that there was nothing more they could do right now. It was frustrating and saddening but she was just going to have to accept it.

They stayed in bed for a couple more hours, sleeping together and enjoying the warmth of one another's bodies.  He was cuddly and sweet and Yaeko had never felt better with someone by her side. It was as if their bodies were meant to be like this, together.

Like this was the place where they belonged.

In the morning, Yuzu got up first, giving her a soft kiss on the lips before going to take a shower.

Yaeko followed him shortly after, taking a quick bath and getting dressed in the clothes she had bought for this occasion.

The time that they had together was slowly coming to an end. There was no point in denying it anymore.

She was sitting on the bed, her knees drawn to her chest and her arms wrapped tightly around her legs. She didn't know how to deal with this. It wasn't like she could just stop the clock and pretend that this wasn't happening.

"Yae..." Yuzu said, his voice hesitant "I..."

She knew what he wanted to say but she didn't want him to do it. She wanted to keep living in this little bubble they had created for themselves.

"Let's not talk about it, ok? Let's just enjoy the time we have left." she said, not even daring to look at him. If she did, she knew that she would just start crying.

Yuzu didn't say anything else, only getting up and holding her closer to him.

They stayed like that in silence, her head resting on his shoulder and his arms wrapped tight around her. He was holding her together and she didn't know what she would do if he wasn't here.

She felt warm tears running down her cheeks and didn't even bother wiping them away. What was the point anyway?

"We'll find a way." he finally spoke up, his voice still a bit uncertain "We just need to keep fighting and it'll work itself out."

Yaeko nodded, trying not to let the tears choke her.

The clock on the nightstand showed that it was almost time for her to leave.

She got up from the bed and started grabbing her things. Yuzu stayed behind, watching her with a mixture of sadness and desperation in his eyes.

Her feet felt like lead and her heart was heavy. This was it. This was goodbye.

"Wait..." Yuzu's voice was barely above a whisper.

Yaeko stopped dead in her tracks and slowly turned her head around. Her heart beat faster with anticipation.

Yuzu hesitated for a few moments, seemingly unsure of what he wanted to do or say. Then, he just grabbed her and crushed her lips against his.

She moaned at the touch of his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him closer to her and deepening the kiss. She wanted this to last forever and, in this moment, it felt like it was going to.

"I love you, don't you ever forget that"
