But with boundaries blurring and the true nature of what Kira wants from her beginning to emerge, things are suddenly a lot more complicated and unsettling than they were- and she's more okay with that than she really should be. Notes See the end of the work for notes Of all the gifts that Kira had bestowed upon her, the one that Josuke had least expected had also turned out to be the most practical. The mobile phone currently tucked away in the pocket of her gakuran wasn’t the prettiest thing but it hadn’t taken her long to accessorise it, adding some charms and a cute strap to try and counter its blocky shape. It wasn’t to Kira’s taste but that had only fueled her enthusiasm for customising it; seeing him fight not to cringe at the latest addition, a gold heart with a green bead, was entertaining all by itself. She’d had to tease him about it. “You can’t talk- you wear Versace.” Now there was an argument he couldn’t win. Of course, she didn’t exactly have anyone to call. She’d had to keep it hidden from her mother and neither Koichi or Okuyasu had one, leaving her with just one name on the contact list. Somewhere, in the back of her mind, she wondered if Kira had done it on purpose. - 13:01 Meet me at the end of road from the gates after school. The message set her phone buzzing at lunch and she hadn’t stopped thinking about it since. Even as she seethed with annoyance at its presumptuous, commanding tone and even as made her excuses and hurried away and even as she walked down the street to meet him, her mind was abuzz with anticipation. Strange, then, that the moment she saw him standing by his car, everything went quiet again. Dressed in a sharply tailored suit- no doubt it had a designer pedigree- with a coordinated tie and shirt, he would have stood out among the tired-looking teachers heading out of the gates like a wildflower amongst weeds but he didn’t look at ease here either. His shoulders were stiff with tension and, every now and then, he would glance over his shoulder to make sure that he was still alone. It was really no wonder he was tense, though. Sure, it was quieter here but they never usually met in such a public place with so many potential onlookers. But then, maybe Kira didn't need to worry so much. What was it he had said? It was luck that brought us together. Good fortune.Maybe that same good fortune that would keep them that way. Appropriate for someone with the character for it twice in his name. Regardless, she made her way up to his car and met him with a smile, waiting until she was sat in the passenger seat with the windows safely closed before finally saying anything. “What’s the emergency?” What she had expected, she wasn’t sure but it certainly wasn’t for him to lift her chin, kiss her and say, “I wanted to see you again.” Though it went unspoken, this wasn’t a long term thing. They both knew that. But, with his hand lingering at her jaw and those strangely pale eyes focused so intently on hers, she couldn’t help but be disheartened. She should have known that she wasn’t the kind of person who could detach themselves, be contented with the knowledge that it was an almost mercenary exchange of sex- as unusual as his tastes were- and gifts, and it had come back to bite her. Maybe that’s why, when he finally drew back, it took her a moment to respond. “Me too. I missed you.” It wasn’t the same thing as 'wanting to see' someone and she knew it but, after a short pause, she cast him a look of feigned reproach. Creased brow, a pout on already pouty lips, head tilted. “But don’t let it go to your head, alright?” An attempt to soften the sentimentality. It was easier to play the coquette than be honest- but there was something intimate about her backchat too. She wouldn’t have been nearly so casual with him when they’d started this- this whatever it was. “Of course not.” The engine’s purr turned into a roar and the car shuddered back to life. - All it took was a fifteen minute drive from the school to leave the suburban cluster of estates and holiday homes behind. Little by little, the streets widened and the houses grew sparser before giving out altogether, melting seamlessly into coastal paths, the jagged edges of cliffs and, somewhere below, beachy outcrops with golden sand. In high season, it would have been swarming with tourists and locals alike but, in the shadow of a long, cold spring, time seemed to have been slowed to a lazy crawl. As it was, the two of them were alone on the clifftops with only the view of the sea and the few fishing boats still out at work for company. It was the sort of place she’d have liked to go to on a date, not to conduct illicit affairs with men too old to be involved with a high school girl. Then again, his inclinations made it so that something as innocent as holding hands could be foreplay. In a screwed up kind of way, it was fitting that they should come somewhere like this; it had the same contradictory, looking glass world quality as their relationship. At some point, they had moved into the back seat, though in between the comforting warmth of leather and the sudden closeness of their bodies, Josuke had forgotten how or when. As ever, Kira took his time. There was an order to be follow. Watching her remove her gakuran to reveal more of those slender wrists and helping him to undo his tie. Tracing the lines of delicate, blue veins just beneath the surface. Grazing his teeth along the length of her index finger before, at last, pressing his cheek into the smooth surface of her palm and watching her with a decidedly feline look of sleepy appreciation as she used her other hand to brush back his hair. Feline. Now there was a good word for it. Like a cat accepting its owners affections, this was for his benefit more than hers; that she happened to enjoy it too was incidental. Or maybe that was only how it had started. At the same time as he drew her thumb into his mouth, she felt him push her skirt up to stroke the sensitive skin on the insides of her thighs as well. Was that part of the exchange too? Colouring, Josuke held his stare as if to try and coax out an answer- say something, anything- but found only a heady haze of arousal in its place. It didn’t really matter in the end. The carefully rounded tips of her nails brushed against his scalp and she felt him shiver and then shift a little, edging his arm along the back of the seat so that he was holding the back of her neck and hair. Gently, she noticed, and with only the one hand. The last time, the situation had gotten away from her and, before she knew what was happening, both were around her neck- I lost control of myself, it won’t happen again- and pinning her against the couch. It marked both the only time he had apologised for anythin and the first time she had considered ending it. Deep down, Josuke knew she should have gone through with it. But she couldn’t. Not when every meeting set her heart pounding and her head spinning with excitement and he looked at her like that. And anyway, she had Crazy Diamond. Things couldn’t go too far. They wouldn’t. It was only when he took her wrist and moved her hand down to the front of his pants and the growing hardness there that she snapped out of her daydream. Her eyes flickered up to meet his. Whether or not she realised it, she was chewing on her lip. “Here? In the car?” “Here.” His voice was drawn taut as cello strings and yet he still managed to sound businesslike. “If that bothers you, we’ll stop.” “No, I want to, but-” She didn’t get time to finish. Cutting her off with a soft, contemplative hum, he edged closer and slipped his hand further up her skirt, letting his fingertips just ghost across the front of her panties. It was only the briefest of touches but it came with the promise of more. Son of a- “Here?” he echoed, “In the car?” Was he making fun of her? Try as she might to be annoyed, she couldn’t deny that the idea was suddenly a whole lot more appealing. Or that those little hints of a sense of humour weren't charming. “... here.” Another stroke made her voice jump. “If that’s how you wanna do this, fine. Here.” With a metallic clink, she unbuckled his belt- take your time , she reminded herself, he likes to watch- and draped it over the back of the driver’s seat. There was no dignified way to do this, not when he seemed content to let her try and work it out by herself, but it wasn’t long before she found a more comfortable position. Besides, he was patient. She knew he would be. A light breeze drifted through the open windows, carrying with it the scent of the sea and the hum of the town behind them, too muted to be anything more than background noise. It was just the two of them here. Josuke closed her eyes, ministrations slowing to a languid pace as she nestled against the hollow of his neck with her forehead against the cool, soft fabric of his shirt. Pleasure pulsed between her thighs with each crook of his fingers, making her squirm, but there was comfort to be found in Kira’s own, subtler undoing. Though quiet, his breathing was growing more irregular by the moment, betrayed only by the rise and fall of his chest and the drumming of his heartbeat against her cheek. There. Josuke gave a soft, almost kittenish sound as he rolled his thumb against her clit again, hips twisting to try and keep it going. The contact was electric, sending exhilarating shivers of pleasure through her body whilst never threatening to slip past the slick fabric. She wanted it to. God, she wanted him to touch her directly- but the words didn't even get the chance to reach her lips before it was over. The orgasm hit her hard, chasing the last of her misgivings, however few the number that remained, out of her mind in a white hot blur. For someone who had showed very little interest in anything outside of two specific parts of her body, he knew the rest of it with startling intimacy. He knew what she liked and how much to hold back and how to reduce her to a trembling mess. It wasn't important whether it was simply mechanical efficiency or whether she was just making the same mistakes over and over, not when it made her feel like this. Not right now. For just those few moments, she wanted to believe that it was all for her. Somewhere, in the afterglow, she became aware of the feeling of his hand over hers- although it wasn’t out of tenderness. She’d stopped stroking him. Kira pressed his forehead against the top of her head- if she were thinking straight, she might have complained- and murmured something half-encouraging, half chastising that she didn’t quite catch. Of course. How could it be anything else? But if that was what he wanted from her, she’d give it to him. She let him guide her back into a rhythm, went on running her hand over the length of his cock, making sure he could feel all of her against him- “Josuke-” She caught the name, that little hitch of breath and slurred syllables, and buried it with a kiss, snatching it from him in the seconds before he came. Only in those last moment were the final vestiges of composure finally torn away, leaving him gasping against her lips and crumpled over her, one hand still tangled in one of her ponytails as the other gripped her thigh. Strands of wavy blonde hair fell across his face where they’d been teased loose and his eyes- god, his eyes- barely seemed to focus on her before he leant over her again. One final, deep crush of lips and tongue left her breathless before he broke away to assail her jaw and neck with a messy trail of kisses, hesitating only as he reached her collarbone. You’ll stretch out my collar. She opened her mouth to object. He bit down. - 21:13 goodnight x 21: 32 hello? Josuke stared determinedly at the texts, knees pulled tightly up against her chest. There was no way that he'd be asleep already- god knows, Kira was enough of a stickler about his schedules- but she’d sent the first one over three quarters of an hour ago and he still hadn’t answered. Not that he had any obligation to; it wasn’t as though they were datingor anything and he was hardly the romantic sort anyway. She didn't even really trust him. This was always how things were going to be. So why did it bother her so much? She put a hand to her neck, testing the bruised skin with the pads of her fingers and wincing at the dull pain they left in their wake. It’d be a pain in the ass to cover. Of course, she’d left her share of accidental marks on him in the past too but this was deliberate. Calculating. He wanted her to see it. All Josuke could do in return was steal affection, lacing her fingers through his to pull him closer or touching his face to soften him to the possibility of a kiss. Funny how, without even realising it, they'd started playing games. Why didn’t that bother her but that empty screen did? After a moment of two of thought, she picked up her phone once more. There was one thing she knew he wouldn’t be able to resist. 22:06 whatcha doin tonight hey boy 22:10 Everything’s alright, just hold on tight. 22:11 because you’re a good old fashioned lover boy? as if. jerk xx 22:13 Go to sleep, Josuke. Got him. A light flush of satisfaction spread across her cheeks and, pleased with her work, she dropped back onto the bed. The implications of what had happened, the blotches of purple on her skin and the pang of apprehension whenever he touched her neck and the weight of each of his strange little gestures, could wait. It wouldn't go on like this. Even as his carried him through, her own fortunes would have to fold some time and when they did, it would be every bit as ugly as this whole relationship was. But it was nice to pretend. And, like watching those first forks of lightning in a stormy sky, it was thrilling too. In its own fucked up little way.
