Yuki
How in the-why would he-now that's just not fair! I flailed like a fish out of water in my head, cursing the entirely not-planned-by-life-at-all interruption, and then cursing this damn teenage form I was stuck in. It would make sense for Brokentear to suggest something like that if I had been myself, but being in this form, this made no sense! And maybe it wasn't even me he was talking about, maybe it was meant for some girl I hadn't.
But his eyes had been just as lost looking as I probably had looked. I snapped out of my thoughts, pushing my concerns and confusion to the back of my head, and smiled brightly at Ethan and the new girl, Akane. I really looked at her and said the first thing that came to my head, the filter between brain and mouth having not quite fixed itself yet. "You're really pretty, Akane," I said, filling my voice with awe like any real 13 year old would, playing on the fact that I could continue my lie without anyone being the wiser.
There was a beat, and then Akane let out a small snicker and smiled back when I gave her an embarrassed grin. "Thank you, Yuki was it?" she said, and I grinned childishly, skillfully ignoring Brokentear's side glance. For now, I would let his statement go, give him time to sort out what he really wanted. There were still things that needed to be done before I'd let him even begin to think of things like that.
After the initial greeting with Akane, I turned my bright smile to Ethan behind her, truly glad to see him again, even if he didn't look so glad to be here with us. "Hiya Ethan! How've you been these past few hours? You've been keeping Akane company, right?" I chirped, grinning at how they smelt of sex, recent at that, and then mentally paused when the sent of a shapeshifter met my nose. I looked at Akane again, but this time I really considered her, and found she gave off the same vibe that I did, which was surprising since I'd never met another shapeshifter before. I turned back to Ethan for his reply.

Forever was a comfortable weight on my chest, and the look he had before he buried his head into said chest made my heart skip a few beats before going back to normal. Ah, how dangerous that look was. And how adorable the aftermath of the reaction. God, would this boy ever stop being so adorable? He would end up killing me with his looks alone, and I don't think I would even try to stop him, so long as I could be the sole one he looked at like that.
We lapsed into silence for a few. Beats, and then I decided I would go out on a limb and see what would happen. Things were going to be really complicated, so it would be better to experiment and find it didn't work out now, when we weren't in danger of falling from a height too high to heal from, than later. So I leaned back from his shoulder, light tugged the shirt out of the way, then nibbled lightly on the patch of skin revealed, and grinned against his skin at the sharp inhale he made.
I pulled back so I could see his face and swore I fell for the look on his face. Shock and pleasure and the beginnings of like, Forever was absolutely adorable, and for a split second, he was all mine. I trailed what had to be glowing eyes over his face, resting over his mask covered lips for a moment longer than necessary, then trailed them back to his eyes, a smirk pulling at my lips.
"If I asked you if I could kiss you, would I get a positive answer?" I asked, just a little bit wondering and wishing and hoping that his answer would be in the positive. I would give this boy all the time in the world he wanted if he said no, but that didn't mean I couldn't be secretly disappointed if he did. I really did like this boy, and really would keep him all to myself if he would let me. Anyone who didn't automatically want him for their own was stupid and undeserving of such a beauty anyways.
