Ch.23| bringing back memories

Akari groaned but pulled wrapped her arms around him as he collapsed on top of her. Both were panting and extremely sweaty. "ha- that was-" "Exhilarating~" Hisoka grinned as he rolled to lay next to her on the bed. She nodded and tilted her head to the side of another kiss. Hisoka obliged and pulled her in for a 'passionate' kiss. Their lips moved together and Akari curled her body into Hisoka's. Once she pulled away for air she smiled wearily. "And to think, you wanted to go stay with Nobunaga~" Hisoka pouted as his arms curved and she pressed her face into his neck. "Mmmhm I regret thinking that now." She agreed and nuzzled into his arms.

"I bet you do~" He smirked as he held her. Humming softly he traced small circles into her back and she sighed in exhaustion. "You should rest~" "I need to shower." She said but pressed her self into Hisoka. He chuckled softly and gave her a small peck on her shoulder. "I'll go check the time~" He decided and removed his arms from her. Akari whined quietly and pulled the sheets around her body. Walking over to where he phone lay on the kitchen sink, Hisoka looked down at it then back at Akari. "Five~" "Five?!" Akari exclaimed, rubbing her her hand down her face. "Yes. Five~" He peered at her questioning manner. He waved him off and slid to the end of the bed. "We have five hours~" "Yeah but now I'm tired." She grumbled back, placing her foot on  the ground. "I'm showering-um." Akari winced as both feet were pressed to the ground.

"What~? Oh." He let out a small laugh and walked over towards her. "Let me help you~" Akari shook her head, and took a step toward, tumbling into his spread arms. "fucking hell-fine." She muttered, allowing Hisoka to bend down and scoop her up to carry her bridal style to her bathroom.

Setting her gently down on her counter, Hisoka walked over to the shower, switching it on for her. Akari tried hard to ignore the fact they were both naked and that she desperately wanted to hold him. "Here~" He walked back over to her, hoisting her up into his arms and taking her into the shower with him. "Wait but you just took a shower though-?" Hisoka shrugged and leaned her against the wall. The warm water cascaded around them as Hisoka grabbed soap, offering it to Akari. "Or I could clean your body for you~" He suggested winking at her. Akari quickly grabbed the soap from him, wetting it then scrubbed her arms. Hisoka just hummed and applied shampoo into his hair as he watched her every move.

"-Could you not-?" She growled as she gently grazed her hands over the bruises-old and new-over her body. "I could help you~" He whistled and took the soap from her and after using it on himself he once again offered. "Um, no." Hisoka's eye twitched as he slammed his hand besides her head on the wall. Akari's head hit the wall in shock, her legs shook. He pressed his other hand on her waist, holding her body in place. Akari glared up at him as his grip tightened and she dared not look down as felt something against her leg.

She coughed nervously and placed her hand over the one holding her in place as he pressed his head into her crook of her neck. "Let go-?" She whispered hesitantly. "You're so beautiful~" Akari froze. 'i couldn't have possibly heard him say that-'  it was so soft, softer than a  whisper, but she was certain she heard him. Her face flushed red at his words and she could feel him smiling into her neck. "I- i." She held her tongue, unsure on how to respond to him. He chuckled and moved his arm on the wall to shut off the water and then wrapped it around her. 

Flattening his body against hers Hisoka suddenly lifted her up, pressing her back against the wall. Akari immediately wrapped her legs around his waist to support herself. "Hey!" She hissed, putting her hands on his shoulder and sinking her nails into his skin. He cocked his eyebrow and his eyes raked her body. Akari's blood boiled-'hell no'- and she raise her hand, bringing it across his face.

Hisoka froze, Akari froze realizing what she just did. 'serves him right.'  Turning his face towards her his eyes narrowed, holding a predatory glare. 

He raised his hand and Akari flinched. Hard. Shutting her eyes closed she tightened up her body, arms constricting around herself, cringing away from him as she did so. When she felt nothing after a second, her eyes opened in confusion. His hand was frozen as it was gently placed on her jaw. Hisoka was staring at her in horror and he gently placed her feet on the floor as he ran his fingers through his hair, millions of emotions flashing in his eyes. Turning away from her, Hisoka rubbed his hand down down her face. "I'm sorry-?" 

Quickly facing her again, Hisoka engulfed the small girl in a hug which took her a moment to respond and she immediately hugged him back. "Darling, Oh darling~" He whispered into her, gently pulling out of the hug and tilting her chin up to him. "Who hurt you?" Hisoka asked cautiously, trying to read her expression.

Something snapped in Akari and she convulsed into his arms, tears pouring down her face as she cried quietly. Hisoka pushed back the shock and rubbed soothing circles into her back, his head falling oh her shoulder. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry~" He murmured, falling down onto one knee as she slumped to the floor.  Akari wasn't used to seeing him like this, apologetic, soft. "Don't be, please." She said quietly, chest heaving as tears fell around her. running her fingers through his hair. 

"Sweetheart~" He begged, raised his head to meet her broken expression. "Y-yeah?" She hiccuped and allowed him to brush the tears off her face even as more came pouring down. "Tell me who~" Akari shook her head profusely. "I'm fine really! Just, you just caught me off guard for a second there." She explained however Hisoka could tell she lying. 

"Please please please tell me~" He pleaded as she shook her head again. "There's nothing to tell-" "You're lying. Please don't lie to me~" Akari cringed, she never heard Hisoka beg, not to anyone. Yet here he was, on his knees before her, begging her to talk to him. "I don't want to talk about it." She mumbled and shakily rose onto her feet, using Hisoka for support. 

"Fine~" Hisoka whispered, scooping her up into his arms and exiting the shower placing her on the cold counter. Twisting his body around he grabbed two towels and quickly draped one around her and tied the other around himself. Akari nodded in thanks and dried herself off, sniffling slightly and Hisoka did the same. Once he had finished he ruffled her hair, smiling gently down at her. Akari could see the smile didn't meet his eyes. 

"Come on darling, you should rest~" Hisoka held his hand out to her and she raised her eyebrow. "But I'm not tired-" "Yes you are~ Come one." She relucantly took his hand and entered back into her bed room. Hisoka lead her to the bed and grabbed her hoodie and shorts, slipping both onto her.

"What about looking for the chain user?" She accused as he tried to get her to rest. "Love, I'll wake you up when its time, please just rest~" Akari once again found it weird that Hisoka was saying please to her, but she didn't complain. "Ok, fine. You better wake me up then." She commanded and melted into the sheets that he wrapped around her. She shut her eyes as Hisoka walked across the room, shutting light off and coming back to her side. 

"Your body is exhausted~" He quickly pressed his finger to her lips as her mouth opened to contradict. "I know you don't think it is, but trust me~ After what I did, tomorrow you'll have a hard time walking." Her face flooded red but she closed her mouth, swallowing her complaint. "Good girl~" He purred and patted her head, making sure to move slow. She silently thanked him for that and set her mind to sleep. 

Closing her eyes, she drifted off into a restless sleep.
