Chapter 16 - The Torture of Clothing

Warm hands were on skin, cherry irises fluttered open, she stifled a yawn, and attempted to sit up but felt much resistance. Her groggy gaze was drawn to see that Belzeneff was on her night stand then it followed the edge of her bed towards her body and she saw a strong tan arm encircled around her waist. Mayu blinked a few times before she realized that Mori was in her bed with her, she furtively glanced over at him, he was sleeping, his deep even breaths made his chest rise and fall in a steady rhythm, and her cherries softened at him. The added warmth made her feel more comfortable and made her side ache a lot less but she knew that she had to go to work that day so she gently removed his arm from around her waist, glad that he didn't have a severe death grip when he was sleeping. She took the plush with her, packed her tote bag quietly, then headed to the kitchen to start some simple breakfast.

Mayu made sure to keep her side from being stretched too much or too far to the opposite, she was able to make a mix of rice with sesame seeds and yams with miso soup; two glasses of oolong tea were sitting at the table. The scent wafted through the apartment as she returned to her bedroom to grab her clothes, her eyes landed on her bloodied shirt, her teeth were ground together, upset about her favorite flannel but she pushed those feelings aside. Instead she entered the bathroom, left the door open, and began to get dressed. She wiggled into her jeans, slipped her socks on, then removed Takashi's shirt, she looked at it longingly, and inhaled the last of his scent. A smile crept on her face as she folded it then placed it on the sink. Mayu then pulled on her green lace bra, she stared at her bandages, and briefly wondered if she should change them but thought against it. "I'll change them later," she whispered and pulled on her brown plaid shirt. The buttons were done quickly then she began to put on some light makeup, just foundation and powder with a touch of brown eye shadow, and pale pink lipstick. Those two were placed in her workshirt pockets, the flaps were buttoned, and she exited the bathroom to see Takashi still sleeping; she smiled and left quietly.

She was setting up the table for breakfast when he entered, she looked up at him, smiled, and he returned that smile with a tired one. "Feel better?" he asked.

"Well it aches but I'll be alright."

"You're working today?"

"I want to."

"If you feel you can do it." She nodded, the maiden paused in her motions, grinned, and resumed. "What is it?" Mayu only gave him a secretive smile while he took a seat at the dining table and watched her finish up, she sat down across from him, and they clapped their hands together. Mori kept silent as he knew that she wanted to say the morning prayer and her eyes twinkled at him.

"Lady Amaterasu may you bless this day with your shining rays of joy and may there never be a shadow to hover over those I care for in my heart unless they are my Dark Magic friends and family; may you bless them with the strength of your shadow. Allow prosperity to shine upon those who have businesses and may you bring them all good health," she stated. Mori smiled at her and they ate their breakfast, she finished before him, and said, "I have my model shoot today so you can come to that and Ren has a surprise cosplay." He nodded and finished up before changing for the day, he wore a simple t-shirt with jeans, and sneakers. The pair headed out, she noticed that Ranka hadn't been around lately but that was fine because she still received text messages from him, so she knew he was fine, and they strolled along the sidewalk.
