I left Yun with Sam and teleported myself and Eevie back to Noel’s dorm room. I laid her down gently on the bed. “My bandage wraps are in the bottom draw of my clear organizer.” Noel told me and I knew exactly what he was talking about. I went over to the container and grabbed the tan wrap out of the drawer and then sat by Eevie’s feet. I gently took off her boot. She still flinched and I could see the pain in her face from me removing the boot. I wrapped her ankle as we sat there in silence. It wasn’t an uncomfortable one either. I was still a bit upset that we were so close and then Yun interrupted us once again. I love that boy, but sometimes I wanted to throw him half way across campus.
“Thank you.” Eevie said quietly breaking the silence once I finished with the wrapping.
A soft smile played with my lips as I set her let back down onto the bed. “Your welcome.” I answered and moved up so I was sitting at her hips on the edge of the bed. “I’m the younger one. I though I was the one that was supposed to be making the stupid decisions.” I said and it made her laugh.
“Like I said, one of us had to make the risky move.” She smiled back at me.
“True…” I nodded and just stared at her. “Would you be offended if I kissed you right now?”
“N-Nori?! Are you serious?!” Noel’s voice echoed in my head.
‘I’m serious, if your going to take your time with Elena then I want you to know at least what it feels like.’ I answered him.
“Did you really have to ask?” She purred back. I leaned down so or lips were just inches apart. No Yun to interrupt, no one, just us. I pressed my lips against her soft, plush lips. The sweet taste of strawberry seeped through my lips as I felt her push back against my own.
My heart skipped as I broke the kiss for just a moment to adjust myself so I had an arm on the other side of her so I could brace myself better. Before I could even put my head back down Eevie’s hands made their way into my hair and she pulled my face back down to hers. “N-Nori…why is my heart racing so much?” Noel asked and I smiled against Eevie’s lips before deepening the kiss and resting my torso on top of hers pressing her chest tight against my own.
‘Because we’re connected. You know it’s also Elena and you want her. You want to kiss her the same way I am with Eevie. You keep pushing it aside, I know you think it’s early, but embrace it. You only live once.’ I explained to him and I felt Eevie’s right hand slip out of my hair and found its way into my kimono.
“You taste like a strawberry.” I whispered to her and this made her giggle a little.
“You don’t taste too bad yourself. Though I wish you didn’t ware so many layers.” She purred against my lips.
“Well we could fix that if your thinking about the other way I’m thinking of.” I commented making sure I kept my thoughts out of Noels reach.
“I think I know what you’re thinking.” She said. I could tell in her expression that she knew exactly what I was thinking.
She pulled her hand out from in side my kimono and rested her hand on my back. We pressed our lips into a deep kiss. I couldn’t help but smile against her lips a little indicating to her what I was about to do. Then with out warning to Noel I switched with him so he was resting on top of Elena, with their lips connected.
No it was time to sit back and watch the show as Eevie’s strawberry taste lingered in my mouth and her sent on my clothes.

♦Noel♦
My eyes opened wide in shock. I didn’t think Nori would do that. And on top of it Elena and I were kissing. But…her lips were so soft…My eyes slowly closed again and I felt my face heat up and my heart pound as my arms slipped under her and I held her against my body. She had a light body spray on her. It smelled like sweet pea.
It was because of Eevie and Nori, I was having my actual first kiss. I still want to get to know Elena better, but I didn’t want this moment to end. Her hand that was resting on my back took a handful of my shirt and we parted our lips. Both of us breathing a bit heavily. I just looked into her eyes as I sat there, my body against hers then my face felt like a volcano and my innocent side set in once again.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry.” I panicked and pulled my arms out from under Elena.
She laughed lightly and smiled at me with a blush of her own brushed across her cheeks like a light sugar coating. “Noel, I’m not upset. It’s okay. I was just as surprised as you.”
“Those two are the worse for wanting us together aren’t they?” I couldn’t help but laugh.
“They are.” She agreed.
My gaze went from her eyes to her blush pink lips. “But…to be honest, I like you…” I said, “I just don’t want others to know.”
Elena giggled and I looked back up to her eyes and she was smiling with her gentle light blue eyes. They looked so inviting, calming, kind… “Um…obviously you haven’t been listening to Austin and Alexa lately. I guess it’s pretty obvious.” She laughed lightly. “
‘Good job Noel, you actually took a step forward!’ Nori congratulated me.
“Though, I don’t want to be in a relationship, at least not right now. Schools going to start tomorrow and I want to see how I can handle my classes before I think about a relationship.” Elena stated and I nodded in agreement, but it still felt like someone took a knife and shoved it deep into my gut. But I smiled down at her anyways.
“I completely understand. I want to figure out my work load and how I handle it too before getting serious with anyone.” I answered with every word I felt like I was ripping my own heart out. That kiss made me feel things I’ve never felt before. It was a longing for the tingling sensation that I didn’t know could happen with just a simple kiss.
“I’m sorry Noel.” Elena apologized I brushed some of her bangs out of her eyes then stood up off the bed.
“Don’t apologize. I said it’s okay. I can at least say that I’ll count it as my first official kiss though.” I smiled at her and put my hands behind my back. “Um…I’m going to go check on Yun and everyone.” Smiled a bit and headed to the door of my room. “I don’t know if the injuries that Eevie get’s affects you at all, if it doesn’t but want to rest a little your welcome to hang out in here however long you want.” I told her.
I didn’t wait for an answer I just quickly left after I finished what I had to say. ‘I’m so sorry Noel.’ Nori instantly apologized.
“Can you take over for a while, I don’t think I can do it right now.” I asked him feeling tears swell up in my eyes. I don’t know why it hurt so much.
‘Sure. I’ll get us to Yun faster.’ Nori agreed and we switched.
I don’t know if I feel this way for being upset that I was rejected or the fact that I’m kind of jealous of Nori for how easy he makes everything look. But at the same time he’s so much older then me. “Nori. What’s the difference between a bonding and a possession?” I asked trying to get my mind off of things.
Nori teleported us to the top of a building that was where we had left Austin and Alexa leaning against at the bottom. He looked around and noticed that no one was up yet so it was safe to teleport down and then we switched back even though I didn’t want to it was better safe then sorry.
‘Possession is when a demon takes advantage of a human or animal that is in a low emotional state and uses their body to do their bidding while slowly consuming the hosts soul as it looks for its next prey. A bonding is when there is a contract created between the human and demon, during a ceremony. The demon marks the human somewhere on the body. If you look at your hip the next time you undress if you haven’t noticed I gave you my clans symbol. That mark is the demon ultimate marking its territory and placing a protective barrier around their human to try and hide them from demon’s as the the human and demon bond.’ Nori explained to me. Yun was sitting next to Austin and Alexa and Sam. He must have done something to make Sam go back to sleep.
“Will anyone remember that they fell asleep?” I questioned as went over to Austin and checked to make sure that he was okay. Thankfully he wasn’t hurt.
‘I’m not too sure to be honest. I never asked Eevie about her spell.’ Nori responded.
Shortly after though Yun went back to his little human form and sat on my shoulder as Austin woke up. “My head hurts.” He groaned putting a hand on his forehead.
“Welcome back.” I smiled at him. He quickly put both his hands on my face and tipped the top of my head towards him then turned me around to look at my back. “um…do I want to know why your doing this?”
“I couldn’t have sworn that you had really tall ears and a long tail. Like you looked like you came from an anime or something.” He said and I laughed.
“Your totally just imagining things.” I waved my hand at him. “There’s no way that could ever happen unless I was amazing as cosplaying.” I answered trying to cover our own asses. I didn’t think that Austin was conscious enough to completely see Nori. That was really close.
“I got the water!” Elena called jogging over with a small tote bag.
I smiled, “Thanks Elena.” I continued to sit in front of Austin as it was just the waiting game for Alexa and Sam to wake up.
