Endless Love ("Neiko")

New Territory

Extremely sorry for the long wait, so with no further adew, my new chapter.

•••

Seiko woke up with her body flush against Naomi's. She took a deep breath, inhaling Naomi's scent. Seiko noticed that Naomi always smelled the same; that of blooming, vibrant flowers. Seiko loved the way Naomi smelled, adding it to a long list of endless things that she loved about Naomi.

Seiko had stayed next to Naomi, not wanting to wake her. Instead Seiko waited for Naomi to wake from her peaceful slumber.

While Seiko layed there she thought about some things. Mostly just about how lucky she was. How lucky she was to have survived her accident, how lucky she was to have Naomi survive her ordeal, and on top of that, recover her lost feelings for Seiko. Seiko's luck seemed to have never falter, but she wonders how long it will last until something happens and her streak dies out.

Seiko was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Naomi move next to her while mumbling something incoherently. Seiko smiled out of amusement and propped her elbow on the bed beneath her, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.

While Naomi had moved around her body and face were turned towards Seiko. Naomi kept mumbling something that Seiko couldn't make out. In attempt to wake Naomi, Seiko took her free hand and dragged her fingernail up and down the bridge of Naomi's nose.

Naomi's eyebrows scrunched up in annoyance, but Seiko wasn't going to quit until her sleeping beauty had awoken from her sleepy state. Naomi mumbled to herself again, while swiping at Seiko's finger.

"Quit it." Naomi mumbled.

Seiko smirked, not stopping, "Then wake up."

Naomi grabbed Seiko's wrist and pushed it away. She moved around in the bed until she was sitting up. Naomi immediately started rubbing her face, then looked at Seiko.

"Happy?" Naomi said, annoyance clearly in her tone of voice.

Seiko's put on an overly dramatic pout, her bottom lip jutting out gently, "Why're you so grumpy, my sleeping beauty?" She asked.

Naomi's eyes widened a bit at the name Seiko had given her, a blush quickly spreading across her face.

"What?" Seiko asked, amused.

Naomi looked away from Seiko trying to hide her blush, "I'm still not used to this." She mumbled, Seiko only hearing a bit of what she had said.

"What?" Seiko asked again.

Naomi blushed even darker, if that was even possible, "I'm still not used to this." She said a bit louder.

Seiko's smirk appeared on her face once again. Seiko pushed herself up so that she was mere inches away from Naomi's face.

Naomi's breath hitched in her throat as Seiko moved that closely towards her. Naomi's blush reached even the tips of her ears.

Seiko's hot breath hit Naomi's face as she spoke, "And I'm guessing you're not used to this either...huh?"

Naomi instantly backed away a couple of inches. It was true, she really wasn't used to any of the whole relationship thing with Seiko.

Seiko pushed forward, one hand supporting her weight and the other holding onto Naomi's thin waist. She quickly planted a quick kiss on Naomi's lips.

Seiko pulled away and got off the bed. She grabbed her bag full of clothes and made her way for the door. Seiko looked back as if she forgot something, but only looked at Naomi, who snapped her head towards Seiko. Seeing that she still had a clearly visible blush on her face, Seiko chuckled.

"Sorry." Seiko said with a light chuckle, "But you should get dressed, we have a long day ahead of us."

With that, Seiko was gone.

Oh my gosh... Naomi thought.

Naomi shook her head, trying to block out the innapropriate thoughts about Seiko. Naomi flung herself off the bed and proceeded to get herself dressed.

Naomi put on jeans and pulled on a baggy ralgan t-shirt just before Seiko walked through the door.

"Have you seen my mom?" Asked Naomi.

Seiko nodded her head, "I checked and it turns out she's in the cafeteria. Probably waiting for that hot friend of her's." Seiko said playfully.

Naomi was slightly jealous that Seiko had called that lady hot right in front of her face.

I thought I was hot. Naomi thought, with clear bitterness to her words.

"What? You are, what're you talking about?" Seiko stated.

Did I really say that out loud? Naomi thought again.

"Yeah, you did." Seiko said.

Naomi cursed under her breath as a bright red blush spread across her face.

"Why'd you ask that?" Seiko asked.

Suddenly Seiko started bouncing up and down as a big smile covered her face, "You're jealous!"

Naomi tried sounding strong, but the stutter in her words caused otherwise, "I-I'm not jealous. Why would I be?"

"Because I called her hot!" Seiko said happily.

"I'm not jealous!" Naomi shot back.

"Admit it, Naomi! You...are...jealous!" Seiko said, emphasizing every single word.

Naomi crossed her arms and tried to look away. She hadn't noticed Seiko approaching her.

Seiko came dangerously close to Naomi and held her chin so that Naomi was looking at her.

Naomi's face blushed fiercly at the mere distance that they had between themselves. Seiko chuckled lightly, her hot breath hitting Naomi's face. Seiko closed the distance by kissing Naomi's lips softly, but as soon as it started, it was over.

Seiko stepped back and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I keep getting carried away. I just keep forgetting that you're new to me and this new...relationship, I guess."

Naomi laughed nervously, Seiko was right, she wasn't used to it at all. There was one thing, though, and that's the fact that Naomi doesn't want to end that so-called relationship.

"Alright! Let's go to that place near the cafeteria. You know what I'm talking about right? It's like a..." Seiko struggled with the words, "A lounge?"

Naomi smiled, "I know what you mean, don't hurt yourself." She teased.

"Whatever." Seiko replied coldly, "Let's just go."

Naomi giggled and headed for the door with Seiko. They were walking slowly towards that lounge Seiko was talking about.

Naomi stole glances of Seiko every now and then. Naomi moved closer to Seiko and bumped her hand against her's. Naomi blushed and Seiko smirked, not looking at Naomi. Seiko moved her hand and intertwined her fingers with Naomi's.

Naomi smiled and gave Seiko's hand a small squeeze. Seiko looked at Naomi and smiled back.

They walked together towards their 'designated location', earning smiles or strange glances from nurses and staff that worked at the hospital. Neither of the girls cared, though, they walked confidently with big smiles on their faces.
