The Raven

Love?

KIRIN POV

I woke up with the guy's arms around my waist and his head above mine. He must have fallen asleep sometime after I did. I start to get up because I need to use the bathroom when I feel his arms tighten around my waist and pull me back into his embrace. 

"Don't go... I'd be cold..." I stop moving and listen to his words. 

"But..." I was met by a nearly painful squeeze around my torso. I gasped in pain. 

"H-hey, l-let go..." Stuttering because of the pain. 

"Don't leave me..." his eyes were open now, and he had a smirk on his face. 

"What are you-" the guy had my tail in one of his hands. 

I groaned because he was gripping it so freaking hard! I moved my arms to try and make his hand let go of my tail, in the process squirming in his grasp and bringing my head level with his. He made a lunge for my ear, but missed and bit my collarbone instead. I cried out in pain. His hand moved away from my tail and up my back to grab my side under my shirt. He was touching me in too many places at once. I was tempted to punch the guy and then lock myself in the bathroom, but my hands had been pinned to my sides. 

"You're really warm..." He whispered into my collarbones. 

I shivered which earned me another bite to my collarbones... Which got another cry out of me. His hand was back on my tail, petting it and holding it in his hand. I started squirming to escape his touch but he would just pull me closer and hold me tighter when I was just barely able to escape. 

"Let me go dammit!" I pulled my hand out from his embrace and slapped him. 

He let go and I ran to the bathroom where I locked the door and scooted down the wall. I curled into a ball and started shivering uncontrollably.

SHIRO POV

When I was hit by her hand I recoiled and let Kirin go. She then ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I could hear faint whimpering behind it. I caused her pain. I looked at my hands and cursed myself. I caused her pain... She was just waking up and I felt a need to touch her. 

She didn't come out of the bathroom when I knocked. She just yelled at me to go away. 

"GO AWAY PERV!" 

That was all she said to me all that day until I knocked at dusk. 

"What." 

I tried the handle, unlocked. 

"I was just gonna say that it's dusk in-case you wanted to look out the window..." 

I didn't say the last part that I wanted to say, 'or get in bed.' I opened the door and peeked in. There was a little bundle of towels in the bathtub, like a nest, and Kirin was in the center of that bundle with my fluffy black towel over her head. She looked at me with fear in her eyes but a mute expression on her face. 

"Look... I'm sorry... for this morning..." 

She looked away from me and pulled my towel tighter over her head. She started shaking. I rushed over to her side and she looked at me with pure terror on her face and jumped away from me. 

"D-don't touch me!" She scrunched her eyes shut and looked away from me, still shaking. 

Her tail was pulled so tight around her it might as well have been non-existent. I ignored her plea to not touch her and pulled her into a hug. She cried into my shoulder. 

KIRIN POV

I cried like a baby when he hugged me, my eyes had a never ending stream of water coming from them. I was shaking and gripping myself. He picked me up bridal style and carried me to his bed, laying me in his lap and petting my hair and rocking slowly. I fell asleep on his lap, curled in a ball with tears still on my cheeks
