Bond of Steel

The first time

Jeremy was over at the Nishizumi residence since Mahos sister miho had returned for the holidays.

"Jeremy? How and when did you and Maho first meet?" Miho asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Ah, that was a long time ago... basically 9 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday."

—Flashback—

Jeremy walked through the park with his best friend Jake and his dog Lucy. They had a frisbee with them. "Lucy!" Jake yelled.

The dog looked at him. "Fetch!" He threw the frisbee through the air. Lucy took off after it. After a few moments she had returned with the frisbee in her jaw.

"Good girl" Jeremy patted Lucys head. "Hey Jeremy"

Jeremy looked at jake. "Now you, Fetch!"
Jake and Jeremy watched as Lucy ran after it again. "I'm not a dog stupid" Jeremy laughed.

Jake wanted to say something just when Lucy has returned. "Ok Jeremy, go over there" Jake pointed into the distance.

As Jeremy arrived he already saw the frisbee sailing towards him. Jake was holding back Lucy. The frisbee trailed off to the right and Jeremy ran to the right, focused on the frisbee.

Then he ran into someone and they both landed in the grass. Jeremy quickly got up. "Ah, Sorr-" he cut himself off as he watched the girl on the ground.

"Need a Hand?" He reached out to her. She looked at him, then at his hand. She grabbed it and got up. "My name is Jeremy" he smiled at her.

"Maho. Maho Nishizumi." The girl replied in a monotone, obviously annoyed from him.

"You're trying to act tough." Jeremy stated and crossed his arms. Maho blushed but it quickly faded away. "N-no of course I'm not acting tough!"

"You stuttered and I saw a blush on your face for a moment." He pointed out, raising his eyebrows. Maho sighed. "I have no time for this." She walked past him.

"You look beautiful by the way" Jeremy shouted whilst walking to pick up his frisbee. Maho froze for a second. She shook her head and continued walking.

"Ok hope we never see each other again!" Jeremy yelled in a cheerful tone, teasing her as he walked over to Jake and Lucy.

"Damn Jeremy, already racking up the girls" Jake joked with a laugh. Jeremy hit jakes shoulder lightly and they both began to laugh.

Then suddenly somebody tapped him on his shoulder. Jeremy turned around and saw Maho again. "Oh hi"

"Uh..." Maho tried to look for words but gave up. She turned around and ran away. "The hell?" Jake asked. "If all your girl conversations  go like this, good game Jeremy." Jeremy shrugged.

—Flashback end—

"And then Maho went on and built up a friendship with me over time. We got separated because we went to different schools, but now we found each other again"

Jeremy check his wristwatch. "Damn already 9:37 pm... I have to get going soon..." The Nishizumi Family heard a slightly disappointed tone in his sentence.

"Now that I've gotten to know you, you do seem like the perfect guy for my little girl" Tsuneo, Maho and Mihos father, said.

"I agree with dad, you are a really kind and sweet person. Please take good care of my sister whilst I'm gone." Miho smiled at him.

Jeremy returned the smile. "How about you stay here for the night?" Tsuneo thought out loud. "We could let you sleep on the couch or..." Tsuneo trailed off, trying to think of another place where Jeremy could sleep.

"H-he could sleep in my room" Maho said under her breath, although her father and mother heard what she'd said.

Shiho and Tsuneo looked at each other. "I... Guess?" Tsuneo finally broke the silence.
"But only if you give him a sleeping bag or something else" Shiho added.

Jeremy glanced towards Maho, she glanced back. "Sure" she eventually said. Jeremy and Maho left the dinning room.

"Alright sleepover at the Nishizumi, I'm looking forward to it" Jeremy stretched whilst saying so. Maho chuckled slightly.

—Timeskip—

Maho laid on her bed, listening to Jeremys soft snores. He was laying on a mattress which was next to her bed on the ground.

She slowly moved from her bed down onto the mattress. Once she was under the covers she sat on top of him. She took off her shirt and unhooked her bra.

Jeremy suddenly began to wiggle around, making noises. Then he finally slowly opened his eyes. "Wh... m-Maho?" He rubbed his eyes. She saw how they widened as he realized what she was doing.

"Now h-hold on a second, l-let's not do anything that w-we'll regret e-eventually" he grabbed Mahos waist and weakly tried to push her off. She shook her head slightly. "Shhh... I... I n-need this..." Maho began to unzip his pants.

—Timeskip—

"M-mornin'..." Jeremy muttered as he entered the dining room. "Good Morning Jeremy, did you sleep well?" Shiho asked. She was preparing breakfast. Jeremy nodded slightly and slumped down on a chair.

"Is something wrong?" She asked with a worried expression. He shook his head slightly. "Are you really sure?" Shiho turned towards him now. "Yes Mrs. Nishizumi" Jeremy finally said with a sleepy undertone.

"Ok, if you say so..." she turned back to the stove. "Good Morning. Ah! Good morning Jeremy!" Tsuneo patted him on the back hardly. "So, how was it?" He asked cheerfully.

Jeremys eyes widened. Did Tsuneo find out what his daughter and him were doing last night? No... can't be. "I-it was prett great"

Tsuneo smiled. "That's what I want to hear" he patted Jeremy on the back again. "Good Morning" Maho entered the kitchen. As she sat down she reactively squeezed one of her eyes shut.

"Is everything alright Maho?" Shiho suddenly asked."Yes mother, everything is at its best" she held her voice in a monotone.

The suddenly Mahos sister Miho stepped into the kitchen. She yawned. "I couldn't sleep last night... Maho and Jeremy were way to loud..." she rubbed her eyes.

"What?" Shiho turned towards them
