When a Healer Loves a Killer

Chapter 31

     The next time I woke up was to the sound of my alarm. Juuzou was still asleep on my chest, and I blushed a bit when I realized I still wasn't wearing any clothes. Juuzou stirred and lazily opened his eyes, reaching over to the alarm and shutting it off. He flopped back onto my chest and swung his arm back over me, curling around me to hug my figure. I smiled softly and let my fingers play with his hair, making Juuzou hum and shove his face into me even more. I giggled as Juuzou groaned and looked up to me with squinted eyes. "What are you laughing at, naked lady?"

     I scoffed and took my hand out of his hair, lightly slapping his face. "Oh hush up. I have to leave in like an hour, you ought to show me more respect."

"Oh, yes ma'am~" Juuzou mumbled, pressing his lips right above one of my breats.

I laughed and put my arms around his neck, hugging him to me.

-knock knock-

"(Y/n)? It's Akira. We are leaving in an hour and the vehicles of transportation are arriving in a half hour."

"Alright, I'll be out in about twenty minutes." I said, trying to sound more awake and professional.

"Very well." Akira said.

I heard her footsteps fade and I felt my face become more serious, fully processing the fact that I had to go back into the fields that killed so many of my comrades. Juuzou looked to me. "Is there still no way I could come along?"

     I looked down to him and smiled sadly. His eyes told me he already knew the answer. "Sorry love."

     "...It's alright."

Juuzou sat up and stretched, which gave me an opportunity to lean off of the bed and grab his shirt. It was a blue long sleeved cotton shirt that smelled like Juuzou.

Perfect.

Once I had the shirt on, I pulled my long hair out from under it and into a messy ponytail. Juuzou looked at me and I saw his eyes widen in shock. "What? What is it?" I said, checking him for any damaged injuries.

"(Y/n)-chan? I don't suppose that your fighting uniform covers your neck, does it?"

I felt my eyes widen and my hand shoot up to my neck. Juuzou giggled and fell back to the bed as I jumped out of it, speeding to the closet. I got changed into my fighting uniform and ran to the bathroom, turning on the lights and staring into the mirror in horror. My neck was absolutely covered in dark marks, and the cleavage that the uniform showed exposed a bit of the hickeys that trailed down in between my breasts. I looked back to Juuzou, who was getting out of the bed and approaching me.

He came into the mirror's view and hugged me from behind, admiring the work he had done. "I think it's pretty. Now everyone will know that you're mine~"

I sighed and kept my eyes in the mirror, a look of disappointment staining my face.

There's nothing I can do about it now.

I turned around to Juuzou and glared at him, running my fingers into his scalp and pulling at his hair. "You're lucky you're cute."

Juuzou smiled before catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror. He raised his eyebrows and walked closer to the mirror, tilting his head to expose more of his neck. "(Y/n)-chan, you bit me hard! Twice!" He exclaimed, running his fingers along the bite marks.

"When'd you do this?" He asked, turning to face me.

"I- It was when I-"

Wait a second
