~Mai~
I heard Takumi’s comment and saw his wings close around Haru. I suddenly got really warm and went to take a step, but my ankle rolled and I crashed to the floor.
“Mai!” Takumi shouted, and he ran over to me.
‘Are you kidding me?’ I thought ‘This is so embarrassing.’
“I’m fine.” I muttered lightly swatting his hand away.
“Well that wasn’t very nice.” He pouted sticking his hand out again. I took his hand and he helped me up. I immediately turned around and continued making breakfast I heard Aki trying to calm Haru down, but he yelled again, and Aki and I both shouted at the same time.
“TAKUMI! KNOCK IT OFF!”
“Sorry sorry I’m stopping now.” He said. I got a glass out and filled it with ice water. I plated some food and handed it to Takumi, then took the water over to Haru.
“Calm down, you’re fine.” I said. “He’s got sustenance now. He won’t bother you for a while.”
“For, a while?” He squeaked.
“Yeah, that’s right.” Aki chimed in.
“Slow deep breaths Haru.” I said calmly. He did, and I heard Takumi hiccup.
“Man that was good.” He said. I turned around.
“Really? You’re done already?” I asked him.
“A new record!” He grinned.
“Did you even taste it?” I questioned.
“…yes. Yes I did.”
“Good, I guess…” I muttered.
“WHY DIDN’T YOU CHOKE ON IT?” Haru yelled.
“Aki, would you like some breakfast?” I asked her.
“I’m going back to bed.” She said simply.
“Have fun with those two going at it.” I pointed. Haru was 3 feet off the ground being chased around by a flying, grinning Takumi.
“Hey Takumi, come down here for a second.” Aki motioned. He came down.
“Make it quick.” He eyed Haru as he tried desperately to find a hiding spot. She plucked his head phones off his neck and walked off. “Where are you going with those?!” He exclaimed.
“I’m gonna drown out the sound of two teen boys fighting.” She waved. I was left standing there, unsure of what to do. Haru looked at me, and I could tell he was on the brink of another panic attack.
“Takumi?” I said. He flew over to me.
“Hmm?”
“Please don’t scare Haru anymore, how would you feel if what ever scared you never went away, or kept reoccurring over and over again?” I asked.
“It’s just payback for all the short jokes, cant you let me have a little fun?” He pouted. I hate the pout. I wanted to say ok, and let him torture Haru some more, but I knew I couldn’t let him scare him to death.
“Please Takumi? I’ll do something special for you.” I said.
“Food?” His eyes lit up.
“Yeah, whatever you want, I’ll make it.” I reasoned.
“After that big breakfast, you’re still hungry?” Haru shook his head. Takumi smirked slyly. Haru blinked.
“CAW!” Takumi lunged towards Haru, I quickly reached out and touched that spot on his wing.
“NO!” I commanded.
“Falling over.” He said as he hit the floor.
“You gonna stop now?” I raised my eye brow.
“Make me super sugary strawberry short cake, with a chocolate glaze! I’ll be nice then!” He smiled.
“Alright.”
“Yay! Everything is in the cupboard to make it!” He hopped up and gave me a big hug. I couldn’t breathe, and it wasn’t from him hugging to tight. “Strawberries are in the fridge, and so is the chocolate!”
“Uh, ok, um…” I smiled. “You know, I’m not gonna make it right now.” I told him.
“What?” He looked at me.
“You never said when I had to make it, just that I had to. I’ll get to it later.”
“Sigh, pout, I’m walking away from you now.” He turned and I just smiled.
“Ok, I’ll make it in a bit.”
“That’s good enough for me, I’m going to go and wake up Aki now.” He stated starting to walk away.
“Hold up.” I hit that spot again and he went crashing down to the ground. I sat down on top of him so he couldn’t move. “This is for your own safety.”
“How is it for my own safety?” He questioned.
“I love Aki but, well…let’s just say, it would be better if you didn’t interrupt her beauty sleep.” I answered.
A silence fell between us and all you could hear was Takumi tapping his fingers against the wooden floor. “Can I get up now?” He said.
“What are you going to do if I let you up?”
“Nothing that you need to know of.” He responded.
“Excuse me?”
“Oh wow this floor is really dirty I should clean it.”
“You’re avoiding my question.”
“Really I mean I found four little rocks under me.”
I hit that one spot on his wings again an held it keeping him pined to the ground. “Now answer my question.”
“Let go.” He groaned.
“Not until you answer my question.”
“I don’t have to.”
I pushed harder.
“Stop it.” He whined.
“No, now answer my question.”
“No.”
“You’re acting like a little brat.”
“Why thank you, it’s my house I can do whatever the fuck I want.”
“Oh really? Then why don’t you just get up and walk away?”
“Well you see…there’s a problem with that, there’s this girl on top of me, and she’s really heavy.”
I took my other hand and pulled the back of his hair up.
“Stop it stop it I’m sorry you’re not heavy!”
“Like I believe you know after you said that.”
“Just let go of my hair, or wing…it doesn’t matter just let go.”
I let go of his hair. “This is what happens when you’re defiant and naughty.”
“Last time I checked I wasn’t a dog.”
“Well you seem to be whimpering like one.”
“Shut up.”
“Haru, can you go and get me the scissors please.”
“You wouldn’t dare.”
“try me.”
“You like my hair to much you wouldn’t do it.”
“How much you want to bet?”
“That I can get out from under you before he gets you the scissors.”
“It’s a deal.”
“Good I have all the time in the world.” I looked at where he was pointing and Haru was unconscious on the floor.
“Well then…I’ve got all the time in the world.” I stated “I’m quite comfortable I could sit here for a while.”
“Oh good I don’t have anything to do the entire day.”
“Then you’re not going to get you cake.”
“I think I can live…maybe.”
“Oh you want that sugar, I know you do.”
“Well that’s true…but are you sure that that’s the kind of sugar that I want.”
My face got ridiculously hot, and I stuttered like a dead car. “Uh, w-w-what?”
“You know what I’m talking about.”
“You want c-cookies in stead.” Even though I knew completely what he was talking about.
“I’ve gotta tell you something.”
“What?”
“No come closer.”
“Why we’re the only ones in the kitchen.”
“Just because.”
“That’s not a good enough answer.”
“Please.”
“uhh…” I leaned forward half an inch.
“NO I need you to get closer, to my face.”
I started to shake, but leaned forward more. I must have loosened up on his wing because he lifted his head and licked my cheek.
“Success!”
He slid out from under me and I kind of toppled over.
“Hahaha.”
I just laid there, devastated by what just happened.
“Aren’t I awesome? I can make anybody do anything, just as long as I get the upper hand.”
I started balling.
“Don’t cry, it wasn’t a real bet.” ‘He’s so stupid!’ I kept crying, I hoped he felt bad.
“Please stop crying.”
I was not going to stop. He hugged me. “Please stop.”
I shook my head and tried to push him away from me.
“Why are you so upset, all I did was lick your cheek.”
“You’re such a jerk.”
“How am I a jerk?”
“You moron.”
“I’m not a moron.”
“You’re right you’re a short moron.”
“Excuse me, who’s the same height?”
“Who’s the one that has more testosterone in their body, biologically who’s supposed to be taller? What stunted your growth hua, when you were little?”
He sighed then kissed my forehead. My heart stopped and I gasped. I kinda stopped crying, but only because I was so shocked.
“Oh gee maybe I should kiss you more often.” I wiped my face with my hand and looked down. I wanted to say something, but I was afraid to open my mouth, I wasn’t too sure what would fall out of it. “Speechless I see, I didn’t know I was that attractive.”
“Jerk.” I whispered. I didn’t even bother looking up.
“And just why and I a jerk?”
“You just are ok?”
“I have a question.”
“What?”
“Do you want to fly with me?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do, you want, to, fly, with, me?”
It suddenly clicked what he meant. I glared at him. “No, because you’re a jerk.”
“Oh come on it will be fun.”
“With a jerk like you? I’ll just wake Haru up and I’ll go with him.”
“You know you would rather go with me.” Damn it.
“What makes you think that?”
“Because.”
“Suck ass answer jerk.”
“You want my body.” Shitshitshitshit……
“Fuck you.”
“Any time.”
My mouth dropped and I just looked at him, my face was hotter than it ever had been before.
“I made you speechless again, I am going good.”
I shook my head and went to run past him, he grabbed my arm and I stopped dead. He pulled me back in and closed his wings around us.
“Just where do you think you’re going?”
“i-I, W-WHA?”
“I’m not done yet.”
“D-doing what?” My heart raced and I felt like I was going to fall over.
“Whatever I want to you.”
“Uh, I-I…” I was short of breath.
“What’s the problem?”
“N-No problem, I-I guess…” I muttered.
“If there’s no problem then fly with me.”
“I-I don’t like heights.”
“I can fix that.”
“I don’t know…”
“Please.”
“Fine, you jerk.”
“Yes, the darkness just over took you.” His wings flew open and he walked away from me like nothing happened.
“H-Hey! What about my flying lesson????”
“Well don’t you have to get dressed?”
“I don’t have any other clothes stupid, these are yours remember?”
You could borrow another pair of clothes.”
“Fine I will.”
We walked upstairs and to his bedroom. He opened his closet. “You can pick anything from my closet.”
