Track 02 - Cassis

WARNINGS: Sexual references, sex scene

--------------------

Ruki flipped open his cell phone to check the time as he began to run up the first flight of stairs in his apartment building - it showed just on a quarter past eleven. Perfect, it had only taken him about seven minutes to get to the store and back. He made good time considering he ran most of the way ... and a five-minute walk was cut down to two and a half minute run. Ruki prayed that Mika hadn't discovered he was gone, then that would just make it more embarrassing to explain his absence. Ruki grunted at the thought and made one last big leap onto the third-floor landing. He strode over to his door, quietly unlocked it and opened it slowly to check inside - good ... Mika wasn't in the lounge area and luckily Mitsu was fast asleep in his bed, so he didn't go ballistic when the door opened.

Ruki quickly ducted inside, silently closed the door again and kicked off his sneakers by the door. He took a deep breath and sighed just as deeply - he had to get his breath back. He hadn't run that fast in a long time, but it paid off because he was out and back within ten minutes. While shuffling through the lounge area, he threw his keys, phone and a plastic bag with a small box inside, onto the sofa and exchanged them for his cigarette pack. He could just hear faint sounds of movement in the bathroom so that indicated Mika was still in there ... so he had extra time for a smoke break. Shoving the balcony door aside and then closing it behind him, Ruki then seated himself up on the balcony wall before pulling a cigarette from its pack.

He kept an eye on the bedroom door from where he sat while sticking the cigarette to the corner of his mouth and lighting it. Distant sounds of loud music, chattering people and cheering could be heard in all different direction. By the sounds of it there were quite a number of parties going on. If they were lucky, Ruki and Mika could probably see the fireworks in the city when they go off at midnight. That would be a good end to 2006 for him, to be able to watch fireworks with Mika ... although if things went along smoothly, they would be making fireworks of their own. Ruki smiled to himself as he drew back and then blew a slow stream of smoke - any time now he would get to have Mika all to himself. He couldn't wait to hold her ... god he hoped that she would come out of that bathroom soon!

--

Meanwhile, Mika was of course still in the bathroom ... but only out of nerves. She had deliberately taken her time with bathing, taken her time with drying her hair; she had now only just changed. She wore a short-sleeve pale pink v-neck top with a small ribbon bow attached to the 'v' of the neckline. Mika knew there probably wasn't much point getting dressed when soon there wouldn't be a need for clothes. So instead of wearing any comfy pants, she just went with a pair of black boy-leg panties, which basically looked like short-shorts. It was really warm in Ruki's apartment so she wouldn't go cold - he never once turned off the heating because of the icy bite of Winter. Mika took one last solid look at herself in the mirror and gave a little nod ... okay, she was ready. The time spent psyching herself up was over.

When Mika finally came out of the bathroom she couldn't hear any noise, apart from the distant sound of New Years Eve parties. The TV wasn't on, Mitsu must be asleep and she couldn't hear any sign of Ruki. Mika swallowed hard while she stood in the dark bedroom, while light streamed through from the lounge. Then slowly she tiptoed over to the door and peered through. She instantly caught sight of Ruki sitting outside on the balcony wall, simply from the tiny glow on the end of his cigarette in the dark outside. For once not hesitating to make herself seen, she walked out and across the room towards the doors. She didn't even notice Ruki's things strewn across the sofa because she was too busy watching him. No matter how much black he always wore, he never failed to look Hot.

Ruki glanced up from looking absentmindedly at the ground to stare as she got closer. Mika's heart pounded harder and harder as she got nearer to the door - why did he have to have such a deep stare? On reaching the door she pushed it open, just enough so not too much cold air got in but so she could talk to Ruki. He pressed the cigarette between his lips and jumped down off the wall. He couldn't help looking her up and down first before approaching her. He placed one hand upon the wall while taking the cigarette from his mouth with the other hand. After blowing a stream of smoke away from Mika he then turned to face her straight on.

"Your dressed like that, I should lock myself out here".

"Hmm? Why?"

Mika tilted her head to one side curiously. Ruki opened the door a little more so he could lean in to Mika's neck and place a soft kiss there before whispering in her ear.

"Because you're making me hot already. I should stay out here to cool down".

Mika made a little moan from the soft kisses to her neck but her heart sank again when he pulled away to return to his cigarette. After again blowing a stream of smoke in another direction he reached up to gently grip Mika's chin.

"Do my a favour? Can you please put Mitsu in my room and then close the door? I'd feel awkward if he's around us, you know ..."

Mika actually gave a little laugh and retreated back to shut the door. She then stooped down to Mitsu's basket by the door and stroked his back soothingly. He stirred for a moment and then simply sighed as Mika carefully picked him up, then carrying him through to Ruki's bedroom. There she set him down in the middle of the bed and worked the covers up to surround him snugly, so he wouldn't be cold. He hardly moved while Mika did all this, so she didn't disturb him more and just silently left the room to shut the door behind her. By the time she turned around, it was now she noticed the room was dimly lit, with light only coming through the balcony doors. Ruki was back inside already and sitting on the sofa, cell phone in hand, the light of it illuminating his face. A funny sound came from it and he shut it again.

"Sorry, just turning it off ..."

He clarified, holding it up before sliding it onto the coffee table. He was lucky enough to be able to hide the newly bought box of condoms while Mika was tending to Mitsu - it seemed she hadn't noticed them on the sofa. Mika nodded after he spoke and then walked over to him. Before she could take a seat beside him, he reached up to grip her hips firmly, then guiding her over to side in front of him between his knees. Mika giggled as she fell lightly back against him.

"I promised you a massage ..."

Mika smiled over her shoulder at him; he was just able to see her smile from the light outside. She sat up, made sure she was comfortable and pulled her hair away from her shoulders and neck. Ruki sat up too, placed his hands on her waist and kissed the back of her neck a couple of times. Mika felt chills run up her spin and she closed her eyes when he started at her neck. The pressure as his fingers pressed lines into her neck felt really good - she'd heard that sometimes a massage could hurt a little. But the way he worked felt soothing and she found herself sighing contentedly. Soon he moved down to the edge of her shoulders and around the blades. Mika let out a little moan.

"Does that hurt?"

"Hmm no ... that feels great ... it's so calming".

She replied dreamily. Ruki again placed a little kiss to her neck and now worked down to the middle of her back. As he moved from the middle out to her sides, because of the gentle pressure into her sides, Mika giggled a little. She wasn't really ticklish but the pressing into her sides seemed to do the trick. Because she was squirming a little Ruki laughed to himself and stopped that, deciding to move on to her lower back. Mika finally stopped giggling and leaned back slightly into his hands - the massage to her lower back felt even better.

"Oh just keep doing that forever, that's nice ..."

Mika sighed, letting her head droop forward. Ruki stopped and lifted up the back of her top to place his hands on her back, then trailing them around to rest against her stomach. Mika made a little 'oh' sound and gripped his hands over her top. He sat his head on her right shoulder and teasingly kissed her ear.

"I'm sorry I can't do that ... stay sitting here and don't move ..."

He again kissed her ear, then peeling his hands away from her, he pushed himself up onto the sofa and then jumped down to walk around the back of it. Mika glanced around, wondering what he was doing, until she felt the sofa moving. He had done something to the frame and was now pushing the back down so it formed a double bed. Ruki couldn't help but laugh when Mika squeaked as the sofa moved under her; she even lifted her feet off the floor out of impulse. He then crawled over towards Mika, hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her back to lie on the bed while he was on hands and knees just above her. Mika looked up at him, with a real feeling to longing.

"Wait here, I'm going to get a blanket ..."

"Okay-"

Mika had barely said the word before she was claimed in a deep kiss with him - he tasted like mint. It was from one of those tiny mints he always had after a cigarette ... and she loved the taste. Then Ruki broke away, leaving Mika lying on the bed while he walked through to his bedroom. The raspy sound of Mitsu snoring was all Ruki heard as he felt around in the dark for the right side door of the wardrobe. He found it, pushed it aside and reached up into the top most shelves to pull down a soft cashmere-like blanket. He didn't bother with closing the wardrobe, only striding back out and closing the door again. Mika hadn't moved, he noticed, as he pulled the blanket open and threw it up over the bed. Mika laughed from under the blanket but still didn't move. Ruki lifted up the bottom corner and crawled underneath.

He crawling over her body and then lay down on top of her, trying not to put too much weight on her. Mika wrapped her arms tightly around his body and her legs just loosely around his waist. She was once again claimed in his kiss ... it was deep but loving ... giving them both the chance to really appreciate it. Ruki didn't stop kissing Mika while he took hold of the hem of her top and slowly worked it up. Mika knew she had to let go of him, although not wanting to, so she lifted her arms up over her head. Ruki could now properly remove her top, and he now threw the blanket back a bit so he could see her and also to discard her top. Ruki was relieved to finally be able to see her face ... and her expression indicated she was calm. He then cupped one hand over her right breast before leaning down and closed his mouth over the nipple, sucking gently at the skin.

Mika closed her eyes and made a little gasp, placing a hand on the back of Ruki's neck. She was not so scared as last time he did this to her, so the feeling was very different - it felt good. Mika seemed to gently squeeze the back of his neck every time his tongue licked over the skin, so Ruki was learning very quickly what she liked. He swapped over to her left side and continued with the same method, now pulling himself up into kneeling position while sliding his hands down her sides. Mika's gasp came a little louder this time when he brushed his hands over her stomach and then around to firmly grip her backside. She now had both hands clutched tightly to his shoulders, her breathing gradually growing faster. Ruki lifted his head up to look at her with a grin.

"You sound a lot calmer this time, you're breathing much easier ..."

Mika made a short laugh and bit her bottom lip, grasping his shoulders tightly.

"Yeah I don't feel as anxious as before ... but this is still pretty new to me, I really don't know what to do ... it's embarrassing for me to say".

"Don't be embarrassed ... as long as it makes you feel good, I'll do all the work. Just watching you and hearing you moan is enough to get me off".

"Oh god ..."

Mika clapped a hand to her mouth and looked away from Ruki - she was still getting used to his 'terminology' ... but she had a feeling she never would. Ruki laughed and peeled the hand away from her mouth to kiss her again, now cupping both hands over her breasts to gently massage them. Mika wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and lifted her chest against his touch - the more he did to her, the more she was adjusting to the pleasure that came with it. Ruki felt he was getting hotter each time Mika gasped or moaned; he had to take Mika's arms away from his neck so he could remove the thick jacket he still wore. He unzipped it and let it slip off his shoulders, then pushing it onto the floor. Mika once again reached up to grip at his back firmly while Ruki stroked Mika's face lovingly and gave her a sweet kiss.

"Okay ... are you ready to let me ...?"

Ruki trailed the hand on Mika's cheek slowly down between her breasts, down her stomach to finally brush fingertips over the top of her panties. Mika again bit her bottom lip as her stomach flinched from his feather-soft touch. Then she nodded slowly. Ruki returned to kissing her lovingly, which Mika welcomed because she was now feeling a little more nervous. This was it; he was finally going to see her entirely naked ... and it was the vulnerability that scared her a little. Ruki curled his fingers under the top of her panties and slowly pulled them down - Mika wished he had ripped them off in a second because the suspense was a killer. Ruki had to stop the kiss (much to Mika's silent disappointment) while he sat up and shifted her legs from straddling him, so he could completely remove the panties.

"Wow ... you look even more beautiful naked ..."

Ruki breathed, staring fixated over her body highlighted by the light from outside. He had dreamed for so long to be able to see her this way. Mika closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath and let it go shakily, now looking at him again - she still felt vulnerable but not so nervous because he seemed to like what he saw. Ruki leaned down to place a couple of lingering kisses to the top of her left knee, brushing his hand over her thighs until they came to rest on her hips. Mika closed her eyes again as her head drooped to one side, reaching down to hold both of his hands. Then, while taking another silent deep breath, she took Ruki's right hand and moved it over between her thighs ... she was now prepared to let him touch her. Ruki didn't move his hand any closer but looked up at Mika.

"Are you sure you want me to? It may be uncomfortable ..."

"It's okay, I want you to. Please ..."

Mika gripped his other hand on her hip before opening her legs a little more to show she was serious. Ruki kept his hand on her inner-thigh as he moved up over her body to kiss her once more. Mika again placed her hands on his now bare shoulders, her heart pounding harder as she felt his hand moving closer to her secret place. Ruki began to very slowly work at her clitoris, making sure Mika was comfortable before he went further. She now couldn't hold back the long, low moan in her throat as she slightly lifted her hips against his fingers - she loved how gentle he was, allowing her to really enjoy how it felt. Once Ruki knew Mika was all right, he now moved down further to her entrance, where he slowly rubbed his fingers over that spot. Mika pulled back from kissing him to throw her head back against the bed, gasping deeply, followed by another long moan.

"That feels really good, Ruki ..."

"Yeah? ... Well it must be because you're really wet already".

Mika made an 'oh' sound and placed the back of her right hand to her mouth - she was embarrassed. Ruki smiled as he now looked down to watch while he continued to massage her, every now and then pressing his middle finger to her entrance. Mika replaced her hand back on his shoulder, then sighing with content. Ruki looked at her again.

"Can I push my finger inside you? Or would you prefer me to keep doing this?"

"Umm ... y-yes, you can ..."

"Alright. But tell me if it hurts or you don't like it, don't go on if it's too much for you ..."

Mika nodded quickly, biting her lip once more. She braced herself, gripping Ruki's shoulders tightly when she felt his finger rub firmly around her entrance. He slowly pushed his middle finger in, watching Mika's face for any sign of discomfort. Yes, Mika felt weird because it was of course the first time she'd let a guy finger her, but she was relieved that it was Ruki. She felt every movement as his finger moved in deeper and deeper, until suddenly there was a strange feeling inside her. A strong wave of sensation seemed to grow like a bubble in her abdomen and Mika gasped sharply. She dug her fingers into Ruki's shoulders as the muscle around her stomach and abdomen constricted.

"Oh my god, Ruki! I felt something ... like a hot wave inside me".

"Am I hurting you?"

Ruki asked anxiously. Mika shook her head quickly.

"No, no, no, it doesn't hurt! It feels amazing!"

"Ah I see ... I think I may have just found your sweet spot. That means each time I touch you there, you'll feel that same sensation each time. Because you're new to it, it may be too much for you".

Ruki grinned playfully at Mika as he slowly pressed his finger in and out a couple of times, earning him a delighted groan from her. But just as Mika was going to speak again, he swiftly pushed back against her sweet spot - Mika couldn't hold back a cry of pleasure. For once Ruki was wrong ... it wasn't too much for her ... in fact ... it was incredible! Suddenly Mika realised just how loudly she'd cried and clapped a hand over her mouth, looking horrified at Ruki.

"Oh no, I can't believe how loud that was!"

"So what?"

Ruki smirked as he leaned down to nuzzle at Mika's neck, now pulling his finger out half way to teasingly massage just inside her. Mika gasped and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck - what ever he was doing now felt even better.

"But Ruki, people might hear us ... it's embarrassing".

"So let 'em listen! I don't care how loud you scream and moan ... I love hearing it".

Mika gave a relaxed sigh as Ruki finally pulled his finger out of her, and she felt her whole body going limp. Just that single act he did for her, and she already felt tired physically. Her breathing was shaky and her body was trembling, simply from the flood of new and strange sensations that she knew she would never forget as her first time. Ruki quickly wiped his finger over the leg of his pants before turning back to kiss Mika sweetly a couple of times. He then took hold of Mika's hand to guide it down to his own painfully hard erection. All he did was place Mika's hand over it to show her just how turned on he was, and Mika gasped in surprise, looking wide-eyed at him. But she couldn't take a hand away ... not when she was locked with his gaze; she couldn't look away from him.

"Do you feel that? I have been like this ever since I finished giving you that massage ... it's a fucking wonder I haven't blown yet".

Blown? Mika thought, feeling her face rapidly growing hot. She knew what he was talking about, but it was his choice of words that made her blush ... he certainly knew how to tell things like it is. Then Ruki gave her another small kiss before shifting over to sit on the edge of the bed, combing both hands through his hair before reaching down to a small draw under the edge of the coffee table. Mika sat up slowly, because her arms were still trembling, just in time to see Ruki pull something square and flat out of the draw. He seemed to pause for a second before turning around, reaching one hand over Mika's legs to place it the other side of her, leaning on that arm as he stared at her.

"I have a confession to make ... I wasn't going to tell you but ... while you were in the shower I left to go and buy condoms".

Mika blinked as she listened, discretely trying to cover her breasts with her long hair.

"See I wasn't expecting you to decided so soon, therefore I hadn't bought any. But earlier when you agreed ... I had to run up to the shop. I admit I was too embarrassed to say anything but ... I thought that when you saw these you might think I'd 'been ready'."

Ruki inherited Mika's habit of biting his bottom lip, while he waited for Mika to respond. Well she did, and it was quite a surprise to Ruki - she was giggling. She'd covered her mouth with both hands and was giggling so hard into them that she was almost doubling over. Ruki was relieved she wasn't upset or worse - at least he knew she was still okay with having sex with him.

"Oh my gosh, that's so funny! Oh I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh so hard but I can just imagine you charging into the corner store and charging out again with condoms ... on New Years Eve!"

"Yeah well that's pretty much what I said to myself on that way out ... although I recall there being a few stronger words included".

Mika giggled once more, then just smiled bright-eyed at him - he was too cute! Ruki returned the smile before Mika leaned forward to leave a sweet kiss to his lips. Then as he turned back around he gestured for Mika to move and sit behind him, claiming that he would 'need some help'. Mika kneeled behind him with her head resting on his shoulder and her arms wrapped tightly around his body. She watched as Ruki held the small condom pack between two fingers while he began to massage himself over his track pants. Mika's heart started pounding the more she listened to his increased breathing ... even the muscle in his stomach was tensing every so often. She swallowed hard when Ruki pulled the front of his pants down - well ... seeing a penis in real life was certainly different from a textbook during her health class in High School.

Ruki took one of her hands and tentatively placed it around his erecting, which was now throbbing, just in case Mika became too nervous. Although she did hesitate at first touch of the flesh, she then firmly closed her hand completely around it. Ruki didn't force Mika but just watched her over his shoulder, allowing her to move on her own accord. Mika then started to slowly rub her hand up and down his shaft, a little overwhelmed at what she was doing - about six years ago she never would have thought about doing this. And the feeling wasn't as 'gross' as Mika had once thought during health class - the skin was soft to touch and not at all unpleasant ... it was nice. She now worked up to a quicker pace, much the same as Ruki had been doing, and he breathed out deeply before placing a lasting kiss to the side of her head.

While Mika was doing the massaging for him, Ruki then took the chance to rip open the condom package. After letting Mika arouse him for a little longer, he soon had to make her stop for fear he'd release too soon. As she took her hand away, Ruki held the condom to his tip and in one quick movement, rolled the entire condom down to his base. He then stood up from the bed to now remove his track pants, leaving him standing stark in front of Mika. She stared up at Ruki's face, much like a rabbit that was staring into the headlights of a car ... she couldn't bring herself to look at what was right in front of her. But when Ruki finally sat back down in the middle of the bed, Mika snapped out of her daze to notice he wasn't pushing her back down - he was sitting up facing her, propped up by one hand.

"Now, are you still comfortable with doing this? I understand you're probably overwhelmed with so much already ..."

He reached over to comb his fingers gently through her hair and Mika leaned her head against his hand.

"Yes I still want to ... I want to try".

"Alright ... then I'm letting you take over from here. By that I mean, I'm not going to take initiative and end up making you hurt more. You can be on top of me, then you can take your time, go slow, so then you know how far you can go. You'll have all the control that way".

Mika understood and thought it was sweet - he was giving her the chance to go at her own pace so it wouldn't hurt as much. Mika nodded with a little smile, then taking his hand on her cheek and kissing the back of it a couple of times. Ruki nodded with a little smile too and than took his hand back to place behind, also to support him while he sat up. Mika took a deep breath before shifting to straddle him, finally looking down at his still solid erection. She moved forward so she was just above it and Ruki now lifted one hand to place around her lower back, ready to guide her. He looked up to catch Mika's eyes and she nodded nervously before placing her hands on his shoulders and then lowering herself down. She swallowed hard and looked down when she felt his tip against her entrance.

"It's alright, just go slowly. Just stop if it starts to hurt".

Ruki reassured Mika when she hesitated. Mika shook her head and looked up at Ruki.

"It's not that ... I was just thinking ... I'm glad it's you".

Ruki smiled at her, which was all Mika needed - she knew he was over the moon at hearing that. Ruki kissed her forehead a couple of times and then wrapped his arm completely around her waist, as Mika was now ready to start again. She very slowly lowered herself further, now feeling his tip pressed firmly against her and she tightened her grip on his shoulders for better support. Ruki reached down between himself and Mika to quickly rub his erection, then holding it steady as Mika continued down. In a matter of second she began to feel a sting and bit her lip as a little whimper escaped her lips. Ruki angled his head to he could whisper in her ear - your doing great baby, keep going. Mika nodded and stopped biting her lip, swallowed hard and braced herself to lower even more.

Ruki aided her by returning to massage her clit to help make her wet again. Mika forgot about the sting and closed her eyes, moaning softly and for a second also forgot to hold herself up as she dropped further onto his erection. It was now she had to cry out from the pain as she dug her fingers into Ruki's shoulders and her head feel against his shoulder. He softly 'shh'ed into her ear to try and calm her down - she was now trembling quite roughly and he was wondering what had caused her to scream so hard. Ruki traced his fingers from the base of his shaft, up towards his tip and then paused at her entrance - he had broken through. So while he had been massaging her, she must have lost her concentration and slipped, therefore he was able to break her more painfully than she'd wanted.

"Mika? ... Baby, you did it. I'm through ... the hard part is over. Are you alright?"

"U-um ... It h-hurts ... but I'm ready to keep going. I can do it".

"Mika your trembling so hard I can barely hold you up, we should stop".

"No! I don't want to stop, Ruki ... I love you".

Mika said defiantly, now lifting her head off his shoulder to look at him with tear-filled eyes. Ruki's heart sank when he saw how upset she was - she didn't have to put herself through pain just to prove she loved him. But if Mika was willing go on ... than he would too. He now placed both hands on Mika's hips as he slowly helped her down, until he was completely inside her. Mika closed her eyes and sighed deeply, resting her forehead against his - the initial penetration had been the most painful but now the sting was gone. Ruki tilted his head to kiss Mika with a lasting, deep kiss - he was so proud of her. Mika felt like she couldn't move, her whole body felt heavy. All she could manage was to wrap her arms loosely around Ruki's neck and just kiss him.

"Oh Ruki ... my body feels so tired, I can barely lift my arms ..."

"Hmm, being your first time it would wear you out ... I think I should take over from here ..."

Mika didn't protest, only breathing out a 'yeah' in response. Ruki kept one arm tightly around her waist and, while using the other hand for support, carefully rolled over so Mika could rest on the bed with him lying on top of her. He hadn't pulled out of her, for fear she wouldn't be able to handle the penetration again - she was most likely still sore. Mika kept her arms firmly around Ruki's neck and watched him while he positioned his elbows to hold himself up. He stared deep into Mika's glazed eyes, and she didn't need him to speak to realise he was about to take control. Ruki gave Mika another loving kiss as he slowly lifted his hips away from her, then pushing back in just a little faster. Mika had to break the kiss for a groan to escape her lips - there was that feeling of heat again.

It didn't take long for Ruki to pick up the pace, as he started to gradually move faster with each thrust. And by the sound of Mika's gasps and moans, he knew he wasn't hurting her, and therefore he braced himself to push even faster. Mika's quiet noises soon became louder, this time nails were scratching into Ruki's back, which caused him to sharply bite his bottom lip and hiss ... but he didn't dare slow down. He'd promised to make Mika scream ... and that's just what he wanted to do. Ruki could feel Mika's short, sharp breaths against his ear and he turned to look at her face - her eyes were barely closed, her lips parted for the breaths and moans to get away. It was then she sleepily opened her eyes to look back at him, swallowing hard as she tried to speak from a dry throat.

"I love you so much, Ruki ..."

His heart seemed to pound harder from Mika's words.

"Baby, I love you too".

Came Ruki's raspy voice as he whispered against her forehead; his throat was dry too. It was then he felt a growing heat way down in his abdomen and Ruki knew he was close to release. Once again he braced his arms, tightening the muscle, to continue holding his weight for a little longer ... it wasn't long now. Mika's moans had now changed from short whimpers to lasting groans, her nails still digging into Ruki's back. Then increased heavy breathing and short groans came from him as he closed his eyes tightly - he was so close but still far away. Suddenly cheering could just be heard over both of their breathing and moans. Mika just managed to turn her head and look at the clock before it lolled back the other way, her eyes fluttering shut again. She took her hands away from Ruki's back to cup his face.

"Ruki ... it's almost the New Year ..."

"GO!"

They could both now clearly hear the partygoers outside as the countdown started. Ruki gave a short growl as he now felt the heat grower faster.

"YON!"

Mika whispered Ruki's name as her head flopped to one side - she too could feel heat deep inside her.

"SAN!"

Ruki's arm were starting to tremble under his weight but he didn't slow down ... it was coming!

"NI!"

"Ooohhh Ruki!!"

Mika cried, eyes shut tight as her body arched off the bed against his chest.

"ICHI!"

To hear Mika scream his name was enough to send Ruki over the edge. Ruki made one last deep thrust inside her.

"AKEOME! AKEOME!"

"Ah-AHH!! Mika ..."

A scream came from deep in his throat, being forced because every muscle in his body was tensed as a result of his release. Her name was whispered as he slowly lowered his body onto hers, his face burying deep into the side of her neck, his breathing now shaky. Mika wrapped her legs loosely around his waist and her arms loosely around his neck as she tried to steady her own breathing. For a moment they just lay wrapped in each other and listening to the excited cheers in the distance, which was accompanied by the loud cracks and bangs of fireworks. Finally Ruki slowly lifted himself up onto all fours, Mika sighed deeply as he pulled out of her. Because her eyes were closed from exhaustion she couldn't see what he was doing but she did feel him getting off the bed and then walking.

The sound of a door opening meant he was going to the bathroom so Mika just rolled onto her side and reached for the blanket. Seeing it had been pushed to the end by their movements, she had to drag it up by her feet and then by hand. She still felt hot, what with the heater on full, but soon enough she would cool down and then need the blanket. When Ruki came back he noticed Mika scrunched up in the middle of the bed, ready to fall asleep. He carefully shut the bedroom door again and silently walked back to the bed, lifting up the blanket so he too could curl up next to her. When Mika felt him lay back down beside her, she reached over to place a hand on his chest. Ruki lifted up the arm closest to her and she shifted closer to lay her head on his chest, and he wrapped that arm around her shoulders.

"Sorry, I had to go to the bathroom to clean myself up".

Ruki explained and Mika gave a little laugh in her throat. Then she yawned and sighed sleepily.

"Akeome, Ruki ... I love you".

Ruki turned his head to kiss the top of hers but he left his lips against her head as he spoke into her hair.

"I love you too, Mikako ... Akeome".

Ruki wished that both of them could have watched the fireworks, but with Mika being far beyond exhausted, he just stayed by her side. She had only been lying on his chest for a matter of seconds before he heard faint sounds of her breathing. He knew she was asleep because of the way she was breathed, and just started to softly brush his fingers up and down her arm. Reflecting off the ceiling were the distant lights of the fireworks, while some people could still be heard cheering. But the only thing Ruki could think about was the wonderful moment they'd just had; him finally being able to make her his. What was going to hurt was her leaving in the afternoon to go home for her parents the next day, and then ... when would he see her next? Ruki didn't think he had the strength to wait until March ...

NOTES:
1) Ruki's sofa: I love these sofa's, the ones that can be pushed down into a bed. I thought it was a nice place setting for Ruki and Mika
2) The blanket: Although Ruki has the heating on, I believe you've gotta have at least some covering
3) Mika feels lost: I'm sure some people would feel at a loss with their first time, and not know how to act. This is how I portrayed her
4) Ruki's 'terminology': I get ideas for how he speaks from his lyrics - so I get the impression that his tough ... but sweet when he wants to be lol
5) Draw under the coffee table: Ha-ha was anyone expecting this? This is where he'd hidden the condoms
6) Sprung!: Yes Ruki had to tell Mika about his little escapade to the store for fear she'd take it the wrong way
7) Mika's thoughts: I tried to imagine what Mika would be thinking of her first time, like touch, sight and emotions
8) Countdown: For those who don't know - 'Go' (Five), 'Yon' (Four), 'San' (Three), 'Ni' (Two), 'Ichi' (One), 'Akeome' (Happy New Year in short form). The full form of Happy New Year in Japanese is 'Shin-nen Akemashita Omedetou Gozaimasu' ... so you can see why the short form is easier to say when that clock hits 12:00am
9) Ruki's actions: Okay, same thing with Reita, I'm portraying a real person so I hope I have done alright and you like what I've written

Please read & review :-)
