Long slender fingers grasped my chin, slowly bringing his face towards mine. His breathing was heavy and irregular, as he tilted his head to the side. The moonlight lit up half of his face, revealing the look of desire hidden in his eyes, along with his thin, pink lips. 'Is he going to kiss me...' I gulped and licked my lips. 'I wonder if my lips are chapped or if my breath smells bad. Maybe I have some food stuck in my teeth. I've been so busy aft-'
All of my thoughts were cut short as I felt a soft brush against my lips. I looked at Tomioka, but his eyes were shut tight, his cheeks slightly flushed. He pushed me down onto the bed and took his hand off of my chin, placing them next to my head. Overcoming the initial shock, I began to move, grabbing at his haori and bringing him closer to me. Desire and passion took over both of us, forcing us to satisfy our feelings with each other's bodies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an instant, Tomioka removed his body from mine and sat up abruptly. He narrowed his eyes at the doorway, immediately regaining his composure, unlike me. "W-why did you stop?" I asked through ragged breaths. He held up his hand, signaling me to be quiet.
"Who's there?" He asked in a sharp tone, a stark contrast from his normal nonchalant, calm tone. Upon hearing the question, the perpetrator immediately got up and began to run, but not before we both caught a glimpse of a pink and green braid through the doorway. 'Are you kidding me? How long was Mitsuri watching us? From the very beginning?' Tomioka turned back to face me, a slightly confused expression resting on his face. "Erm..." He started several sentences, but they were all cut short.
"Ara ara, it seems that I have to do some chores." Trying to act as normal as possible, I put on a smile and acted as if nothing happened. "It seems that I have to take my leave, so I'll get going." Extremely embarrassed, I rushed out of the room, almost tripping over a crooked floorboard.
"Wait!" Tomioka called out, still sitting down. "You should probably... probably fix your hair before you leave." I immediately brought my hands to my hair, feeling how messy it was. 'Can things get any more awkward?'
Without turning around, I thanked him for noticing me as to avoid further embarrassment. 'I hope I don't see anyone on the way to my room.' As I made my way towards my room, I saw Tanjiro and Kanao casually chatting against the wall, Kanao only listening to the energetic boy ramble on. Quickly turning around, I tried to leave silently, planning to take another route to my room. Unfortunately for me, Tanjiro's keen sense of smell immediately alerted him of me. "Miss Kocho! Thank you for taking care of me and giving me medicine. I really appreciate it."
"It was no problem. I'm glad that you are doing better. Anyways, I have to get going." Almost instantly, Tanjiro's face turned to a look fo confusion.
"Eh, Ms. Kocho, have you been in close quarters with Tomioka recently? There's a strong scent from him coming off of you. The only way it could be this strong is if you had bodily contact with him..." Noticing my untidy hair and messed up uniform, his face became a crimson red. "I'm sure you are very busy. You should get going now."
'He really is a kind boy...' Taking advantage of his kindness, I ran to my room without stopping once. Slamming open the door, a lazy Mitsuri was lying down on my futon. I could practically feel a tic mark appear on my forehead. Noticing me, she sat up and yawned, stretching her arms up into the air. "What are you doing here in my room right now?" I asked with a strained smile.
"I thought you would take a lot longer if you catch my drift." She finished stretching before placing her face in her hands. Using all of my self-control, I refrained myself from jumping onto the stalker.
"No, I do not catch your drift. Anyways, how long were you watching? Tell me honestly unless you want to be poisoned." Thinking of the perfect taunt, I continued on. "That would make Iguro very sad, so unless you want the man you love to feel immense sorrow, it would be in your best interest to answer my question." Her cheeks began to turn pink, perfectly matching her hair.
"I was there the whole time. You guys just didn't see me when you rushed into the room. Well, going back, how far did you go?" She smiled and motioned me to sit down next to her. Already exhausted, both physically and mentally, I took her up on the offer.
"Well, because of you, we stopped in the middle." I started to comb my hair with my fingers, the hair that was messed up by Tomioka. 'If Mitsuri didn't interrupt us, how far would we have gone? I don't think I would have stopped...' Groaning, I sank my face into my hands. Mitsuri positioned herself behind me, brushing my hair with a comb she found on one of the dressers.
"You guys are something straight out of a romance novel. Tomioka is so romantic. The moonlight made him look so manly and cool too." I look my head out of my hands and looked up at the ceiling. "I won't compliment him too much though. I know you'll get jealous." Even though I wasn't looking at her, I could tell that she was grinning from ear to ear. I reached backwards blindly, trying to grab her cheek.
"Don't get too cheeky now, you hear me?" I let go of her cheek, resting my hands on my forehead. 'I wonder what Tomioka is doing now...' "Ouch!" Mitsuri's inhuman strength combined with my matted hair was a bad combination. Upon my outburst, Mitsuri began to brush my hair slower and gentler. 'It kind of reminds me of how Tomioka brushed my hair with his fingers... even when I'm away from him, he never leaves my mind. I guess this is what is.'
