Let's make a wish ~ chapter ~ 12
It was Christmas and the morning was well advanced when Kyoko managed to tear herself from bed. She still couldn't wrap her mind around what happened. She had been awake for two hours but hadn't been able to leave the sheets before eleven a.m.
She had kept staring at the handsome man in her bed. She took some pullover hanging around near, to cloth her in something warm and moved away with difficulty. He didn't want to let go of her and she had to very delicately slip from his hold before being able to get up.
Fully naked and soundly asleep, he was spread on all the surface's capacity of her huge bed and Kyoko couldn't help the smile that graced her lips when she fixed his messy bedhead and innocent expression on the pillow. It was adorable. He seemed so at peace and falsely harmless like that.
But it was a half-lie at the least.
She shook her head.
When they had come back last night she had quickly prompted him to take a bath and warm up. Which he did.
But Kyoko barely had the time to think about what he told her that he was out and jumping on her.
She hadn't protest of course. She was very willing and with the stress and torment these last days had been she would have gave anything to be close to him. To be sure he was really there, really human again.
The idea of talking before acting hadn't even crossed her mind at that time. He had crashed his lips on her the very second he was out of the bathroom and they had made love with such a relief, such a need to be touch by the other, to be with the other it had been like they were tearing at each other skin to reach closer, grab more and feel more. It had been pretty desperate and violent when she thought about it. It hadn't been completely deprived of softness but last night had however been so much more than about lust. It had been an impulse, a thirst to merge and feel anything coming from each other. Slow and mild weren't possible things to satisfy that.
Still, there was no such a thing as regret in her mind and as long as she didn't wake up suddenly to realize it was just a dream she was the happiest person in the world.
They had fell into slumber right after that and she had woke up a while ago where she had spent the next hours gazing at his handsome exposed face without a care.
To say that she understood the situation would have been a lie. Kyoko was walking on clouds waiting for the expected fall but it wasn't coming. To imagine that this man could not only desire but love her and to the point of wishing to give up everything else for her was more than her mind could fathom. And by far.
But Kyoko had decided that as long as he was looking into her eyes and telling her he loved her she wouldn't doubt it. As long as he would say it she would never doubt it.
She put on the cloth and directed herself through the hall and then to the kitchen to cook breakfast. She was a bit sore but it made her all the more smile in reminiscence.
She turned the corner and reached the kitchen and living room. Kyoko gasped.
Flowers were everywhere. White and red poinsettias and Narcisse Paperwhites took pride of the counter, the tables and even some little ones on her bookshelves. It coloured her flat in tone of red and white even more and with the decoration they already put on, it was magical.
But how? Kyoko turned around searching for the culprit. She didn't command any.
But then on the centre of her table she noticed of very large bouquet sublimated by thin white ribbons and pearly decorations. A dozen of deep red roses were seated in a transparent vase with fairies snowy white gravures on it. A card note was hold by the roses. Her mind drifted off under the splendour of it until her eyes fell back on the card.
She stepped forward to take it delicately but suddenly knew.
Only one person could have done that.
She took it and observed with attention the eight symbol on it with in each oval of it a little fairy holding a rose.
She opened the card and her breath caught in her throat.
As my paws shifted to hands again
I can hold pen to lay those humble words
Though it can't even brush to tip the balance
How much I own you
Though you can't probably fathom
The deepness of my fall for you
Accept this mere gift
Grant me the power to love you in the best my capabilities
Because Angel each of those flowers are for you
Those one thousand ones.
For your heart, golden treasure that I have been grace with
For your soul, this pure shining light
For the body you gave me the honour to touch
Accept this mere gift
Because I tell you
Today is your day
The one the world was blessed with your existence
And hence let me pay back in love
For the pleasure to be yours
For the gift to be loved
From today and for all eternity
I will be spoiling you
As long as we love
I will be loving you
For all eternity,
Yours,
Ren.
"Ahhh…she gasped out. Her hands trembled and feeling weak suddenly she sat crossed-legs on the tiles of her kitchen and rested her head on the door of the cabinet of the counter.
Just yesterday morning the belief that she couldn't be loved by this man was still rooted in her mind and would have feel blessed with the most little affection from him. Was still even when she felt greedier. Only yesterday she had felt desperate to save him, to be the one for him if it could help him. Yesterday still would have seen her trade anything for his love, for crumbles of what was displayed on this mere sheet of paper.
She read the card again. And again.
Today was another day, another world.
Because no matter how she looked at it Kyoko pained to identify the new landscape offering itself to her where he loved her. To accept that a world where such an obvious powerful love could be directed at herself.
It was his words. His words!
How could she not have seen it? How could she not have realized it sooner?
She raised the card.
Each letter on it had been carefully chosen and was so full of -…everything she could dream of her entire being shook for each time she read it. Her tears welled up in her eyes without a care and rolled up in emotion as she passed the hand on the neat writing with devotion.
Completely lost in thoughts she didn't noticed when someone stepped into the room until two strong arms closed around her from behind.
"Hi"
The soft whisper greeted her when it got out from the being holding her and she came back on earth.
"Hi" she greeted back on reflex looking to the side to peak at him and bedhead still there making look incredibly relaxed and sexy. He was resting on one knee on the ground while the other was bent and was holding her between his thighs.
He chucked and moved to sit on his backside completely and engulfed her with one long leg from each side of her. Then he cuddled to her for a long while not saying a word, just breathing against her neck. Peacefully. Tenderly.
"Not that I mind particularly sitting on the cold tiles if I'm holding you, declared Ren after another moment, " But can I ask what you are doing sitting on the ground like that?"
"It's your fault" she stated.
"I'm positive I didn't force you on ground" said Ren." Though I still could" he added as his voiced turned rougher and he kissed her neck playfully.
Kyoko tried to glare at him but failed miserably and rather let her body rest on him as he tickled the nerves of her nape. She rubbed her nose against his turtle neck shirt, his scent soothing her and entrancing her at the same time.
"The flowers…she gasped when he blew on a very sensitive part and tried again. "The card…
He frowned.
"I was certain you would like them, is it not the case? Or is that not enough? He asked in concern. " I can bring more"
Kyoko choked. More…
He is crazy!
"No!"She exclaimed. "I love them. I adore them even. But it's too much"
Ren tilted his head in confusion.
"There are one thousand flowers, Ren! That's a lot"
Realization hit him and he arched a brow. "It is why you are on the ground? I thought the card was clear enough though. I intend to spoil you for the rest of your life" stated Ren proudly.
Kyoko scrambled to find words to counter him but ended up answering with the first words coming to her mind.
"I'm on the ground because of the card"
"The card? Why? I was sincere in every word I can assure you and I –
"Idiot" Kyoko mumbled before dumping her head on his hard chest. "That's precisely why"
"Hey! Wait, what do you mean that's why?" he asked, still not getting it.
Kyoko blushed and replied mumbling in his torso. Not very loud but enough for Ren to catch it.
"That's because I knew your words were sincere that I ended on the ground. I was too moved to stand"
He gazed softly at her and checked to be sure.
"So, you are not upset?"
She shook her head against him and they hold the other some more.
"How can you be so sure?" demanded Kyoko after they had lifted themselves from the ground as she had pondered it for a while. "How can you be sure that you'll love me for the rest of our lives, it's very long. I know you meant it but how?"
Ren caressed her cheek and grinned at her.
"Simple. As long as you never ever try to castrate me ever again and don't feed me pills, I don't think we'll have any problem"
Kyoko tried to hold back and keep the conversation serious but he had a hand at making a smile and she ended up giggling in his arms.
"Baka. I was serious here"
"I know. Me too" he stated with a severe look.
She looked at him oddly wondering if he had been more traumatized by the experience he let through but arched a brow.
"Well, kind off" Corrected Ren. "But I just can't imagine any serious reason that would draw us apart, Kyoko. I love you. So much. You are my life. I was ready to give up everything else as long as I could be with you. Hell, I would have been happier to be with you but still a cat than human and acting but away from you. And I now know that you too would have done it so I can't fathom something stronger than this"
New wetness in the eyes, Kyoko nodded quietly and he kissed her head. She circled his waist and squeezed as hard as she could, grabbing at him like he could fly away in an instant before tilting her head up to him.
"I love you too"
Later Kyoko proposed to prepare breakfast and set up some light potage and a fruit salad but then a familiar glint entered Ren's eyes as he said he was up to chase his diner today.
Confused she turned to him. How did he want to chase his food? What did he mean by that? Then Ren smirked at her and raised his hands up, holding them like claws. He snapped playfully his jaws at her, his grin growing and moved his lips.
"Mew mew" it was a very quiet little sound, cute and amused that got out of his mouth and she only contained her merriment because she felt the threat in his eyes. She was only one meter away when she saw this and she took a tentative step backward.
She had run barely a few steps from him when he caught her and elevating her in the air through deep chuckles. Kyoko laughed in abandon as he twirled on the sole of his feet with her secured tightly in his arms by the legs and shoulders.
He methodically removed items from the centre counter with her still in his arms dropped her delicately on the long counter and hoisted himself on top her promptly. She laughed again as he kissed her everywhere on her face and tickled her neck with shakes of hair around the area. He was doing it on purpose. He let his hands caress her covered body as Kyoko vaguely realized she was in fact wearing his pull.
"So…Can I eat you?" He murmured when he finally kissed her on the lips, sinking his hands in her soft locks as she did in his own and he groaned.
"What about the breakfast? " She interrogated playing along while she ran her hands in his hair and gazing at him with tender knowing eyes.
"I turned off the stove and it will be for next meal. My first meal is already plated to me" he replied right away letting his long body pressed on her on all his length to feel her as much as he could.
Lemon ahead
He kissed her lightly again and Kyoko lift her hands to press on each of his cheeks while she brushed past his lips and delicately stroked his tongue with the tip of hers ticking him in the most addictive way and making him moan in her mouth.
"As if it could be no" she whispered hotly against his lips and she tucked on the col of his shirt to bring him closer but also began to remove it. Tugging at it and letting her hands run under the cloth and on his heated skin until she could grab enough to yank at it and pull it over his head. He dove back to her the instant it was out of the way and she wandered her hands up and down, letting her palm feel the ripples of muscles, the shudders her touch induced in him and the heat his body emitted again and again. Her fingers graced his nipples rubbing them and her name tumbled from his lips periodically.
Ren pulled and tugged at his own pullover still covering her before giving up and stepping down on the ground with haste making Kyoko sat in the move and grabbing the offending piece of cloth and throwing it somewhere in the kitchen. Kyoko laughed at his eagerness and he grinned sheepishly at her. She was left bare to his eyes again.
"I'm really hungry after all" he stated as he devoured her body with his eyes once more.
"That would be the first time I would see you genuinely hungry" Kyoko declared between bouts of laughs and while she brushed away some joyful tears.
He pressed her naked body to him and she hooked her legs around his waist and he grind into her, pushing his hard bulge to her sweet hot centre. He closed his eyes with delight and Kyoko moaned when he began to rub against her.
Their mouths found each other again. Their lips tugged at the other then tongues met once more. Brushing first, teasing the muscle first then stroking and pulling their tongues mutually through gasps of air and sometimes even clanks of teeth. The fed of their mouths like it was their last meal.
Kyoko aspired his tongue harder as she latched to him with every limbs she had. Her arms circling his shoulders crossing around his neck making her left hand reaching left side and right one right side as they wounded up in his hair. Her legs crushing his waist with the force she held it with. She wanted more. More from him. More feels. Closer. Harder.
She delicately brought down the fly of his slacks still rubbing herself against him on the side and keeping him occupied. She got his hard length out making him gasped and shuddered.
"Kyoko…
She let herself fell on her back on the counter and opened her legs.
"Make love to me Ren" she breathed with heavy-lidded eyes. His blood boiled in furious loud lust, his mind blank with only pure need left and he hoist her backside up and toward him before he realized what he was doing.
He grabbed her ass and shoved his cock inside of her in one push making both of them cried out.
He pulled her back to him and grasping her butt strongly he supported her weight completely and lift her from the counter then dropped her down and back on his length. Raising and falling, he initiated a slow pace. It quickened fast as their mutual need and pleasure was only escalating with the contact they had.
Shifting all of sudden, Ren embraced the back of her in his arms as he crushed his lips on her again and he rammed himself inside her. Following the frenzy rhythm Kyoko sank on his penis as Ren thrusted with madness hitting some spot inside of her repeatedly and rubbing her walls wildly making her moan and whimper several times.
Kyoko cried out as the pleasure took her over the edge and she clamped around him making him pumped even more frantically before ridding his orgasm with a feral growl as he crossed his arms on her shoulders blades and clutched his hands to her shoulders. She clung to him nearly as much as a second wave came unexpectedly and she bite onto him when it became too much.
Spent they stayed squashed in the arms of the other, Kyoko only supported by him and his quavering form, trying to recuperate and Ren dropped kisses in her neck as they caught their breath little by little.
He pulled away and put her back on the counter to Kyoko disappointment but she guessed he wasn't sure of his arms right now.
End of lemon
"You're driving me mad" he said after a while as he kissed her on her forehead and Kyoko gazed at him still wondering how it was possible but happy nonetheless. He seemed to have saw her shivered because he gave her back his pull which she gratefully accepted and put it back on her. But her mind was wandering away again.
To say it wasn't the same for her would be a blatant lie, she felt like she under some sort of heat so much so she craved his touch, his contact. She wasn't used to it. To feel such needs and desires to be in someone's arms. Even after already tasting it. If anything it was stronger.
Kyoko blushed when she realized what she was going to say.
"I-I feel the same she started." I want to be with you. Like that. Touching you… all the time" Kyoko admitted as she looked at him shyly but with honesty.
She kissed his shoulder and hided her face then she shot her head to him again and looked at him through her lashes.
"Is it bad…?To feel that way, I mean…" she asked with a bit of worry and Ren was ready to deny but she opened her mouth again.
"I mean she continued with hesitation, I don't know much about how a serious relationship works but I love you and I want to be with you and you-
"Love you too and want to be with you too" Ren completed with a frown when she didn't finish with confidence.
The hue on her cheeks deepened but she nodded.
"Then, is it bad? Isn't it normal to want to be with the other? To be- intim-intimate…Or is it too much? For you?" she asked with concern. She didn't want to pressure him if he wanted a break. He had a rough month and she didn't really know what quantity of affection he could want.
"Am I too clingy? I'm sorry if I'm. I'm not used to-
He kissed her hard and hold on to her even tighter. Kyoko wondered if she had upset him still or if he was trying to comfort her when she heard the most incredible thing in her own head.
God woman, I want to marry you…
Kyoko jumped high and gasped and pulled back from him as she dropped from the counter. He looked at her in confusion. She thought she was turning crazy. The wish-curse ended, there was no reason for them to still hear each other thoughts. But again, one of his thought came to contradict this.
"You are not. And you won't ever be. There is nothing you could do that would make you too clingy. I will love any mark of attention and affection you will be willing to give me and yes it's normal. I was saying it as a reproach he explained. I'm happy but overwhelmed with the rush it gives me to be with you, with how much I feel when I'm with you and with how little control I have over my own being" Ren added chucking in self-derision.
He was gazing at her deeply with some sort of secret in the eye as he pushed back some strands from her face and asked her what was wrong when she heard it again.
But not now…When she felt surer of our relationship…
Then please, let the gods allow me to marry you…
Ren took her hand in his and started heading to the bathroom for a shower but she tugged at him suddenly and stared deeply into his eyes, an unknown question in hers and he pondered if something was wrong. Did she still has the ridiculous notion she was too clingy. If anything he was the one that will be.
"Did you mean it?" she demanded with urgency in her voice.
"Hmm?"
"Did you mean it? Kyoko demanded again.
"What is it?" he asked, feeling her attitude getting to him and making him worry.
"What-What you just-…thought…"she said at last.
"What I just thought but what do you mean? Wait! You don't mean you're hearing my thoughts?!! Exclaimed Ren.
Kyoko nodded.
Controlling his embarrassment, Ren urged her.
"What did you hear?"
Kyoko shook her head.
"Nothing since yesterday. It only came back just now. I just heard your last couple of thoughts" she stated raising her hands.
Just his last couple of thoughts then what did she mean-
She couldn't have heard him think about that, right? It wasn't that he wasn't serious he was. He wanted to marry her but she would feel pressured and he didn't want her to accept if she didn't really want it or to just mainly stress her from the beginning of their relationship.
Still, he couldn't lie to her.
"I don't know to which thought you're referring so…he trailed off.
She huffed and blushed but decided she wanted to know. If what he thought was sincere then-
"Were you serious when you thought you'd like to marry me?" Kyoko demanded without stuttering and doing her best to keep a cool tone even if she her guts were a knot.
Ren breathed in deep and nodded looking at her sternly.
"I was. I don't know what it means that you still hear my thoughts sometimes but this time I would have prefer you didn't because I don't want you to feel obligate into anything. Yes, I'd like to marry you. But later, when you feel the same about that and because you will want it too" he explained softly and took her hands in his while he looked at her peacefully. It could wait.
Kyoko didn't say a word for a little and she nipped at her lip as she pondered her words and her next question.
"I'd like you to answer one question with complete honesty, Ren" she demanded.
He nodded right on the spot before she even finished her phrase.
"anything" he said.
She hesitated some more before throwing reason to the wind.
"If you weren't worried to rush me, he nodded at that and she continued slowly, would you be already ready for that step?"
"Kyoko…"he chastised at her knowing his answer and knowing it was the kind of thing that would put pressure on her.
He sighed but nodded.
"I would take that step right away if I could"
He was going to explain to her that it didn't matter and that their relationship was about both of them and that he could wait and wanted her to feel the same but she cut him.
"What if I said that I wanted it? That I wanted it right now. Not later. Not even once second later where we could have already crossed that step" Kyoko asked, her eyes more serious and determinate than he had ever saw her.
"Kyoko, I don't you to feel-
"I'm not. I'm serious" she countered.
"Kyoko, if we take this step, there is no going back. I won't ever let you go back on this, I-
She smiled the sweetest smile and took his breath away.
"I would never ask you to"
Ren gaped at her as slowly, slowly, he realized she was serious. His mind started to concoct plans with unbridled speed and he marched on his bare feet to her like he was floating and more grounded than ever all at once.
He took her hands and asked again.
"Are you sure?"
She nodded brightly.
Elated and not quite yet believing it, Ren dropped on one knee on front of her and took her left hand in both of his.
"Mogami Kyoko, would you do me the infinite honour to marry me and stay by my side forever?"
Her face broke into the most angelic smile and she nodded as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Yes Ren, Kuon, Corn. All of you she stated. "I want to marry you"
Not a blink, not a second of break, not the least little hesitation in her voice. She was absolutely genuine about this and Ren felt like his heart was going to explode for too much emotion. He jumped on his feet and sealed his lips to hers in a crushing moved kiss. She wanted this. She had said yes.
"You said yes!" he exclaimed.
"Yes"
He cheers and she giggled.
He lifted her high above him and made her dance in the air with helpless tremendous joy bubbling every now and then from both of them.
Ren laid her on the counter and put one hand to each side of her.
"We are going to marry. I'm the one that going to cling to you, I have to warn you" he said with such an innocent heavenly look Kyoko stayed in awe then chuckled when she realized what he was saying. "But you will have to deal with it because you're going to be stuck with me" declared Ren with a possessive eye.
Kyoko giggled at that.
"Okay" she agreed.
"For all eternity, Kyoko" Ren added wanting to check one last time.
"You already said that in your card and I already said yes" she said.
He took her face in his palms and gaze at her longingly. "I'm going to buy you a ring as soon as I find back identity papers of human"
She hold back another laugh and Ren cuddled his head against her breast and he hold all of her in his arms.
A weird sound came from him all of sudden and Kyoko burst into fits of laughs again.
"You're purring again…
I'm going to marry a big big cat…buahahaha" she laughed merrily.
Ren ignored her, too happy to care and nuzzled his nose into her. But he thought the Star could have warn him that if he ever turned back human again, he would keep some weird things from the experience. Actually, not just him. Kyoko too as she could still hear him sometimes.
Her hands graced both sides of his face and she tilted his head to her before giving him the sweetest most wonderful kiss he could have ever asked for.
I love you my dearest fairy cat…
Ren kiss her back letting him fall into her with abandon, knowing from now on she would always be there and that as long as he had her he would overcome anything.
His wish had most definitively been granted.
…
On the high tree of a park not so far from there, a glowing being sit on a branch and the eyes of the entity are fixed on the building where in a certain flat a special cat became human again. She watched over them as they cuddled and as the shared dance of life and love they entered begin. She rose her hand palm to the sky and flakes of snow fell on it as her raised finger bent toward her several times prompting something to her.
Soon, a light appeared coming from the soul of the human male and straight into her hand. It looked like a white transparent pearl but is only the visible gratification of an accomplished wish.
She smiled. Those were her favourites.
She bent a bit to observe the light. It was like a fragment of the soul's owner, it always revealed some important things about the person. Here you could see a former pure light stained by some unavoidable things and by life's hazards. And then you could see when everything changed and his soul begin to glow again. It was just after meeting her again.
She broke open her lips and whisper.
The light entered her carrying the darkness he had kept so much time with him letting it destroy the core of his light far too long.
She closed the windows of her vision and disappeared after one last greeting.
I wish the four of you all the love you found in each other…
And believe it or not, it will be for all eternity,
It will transcend the ages…
Merry Christmas to all the loved ones…
An odd branch cracking and rocking without even the tiniest breeze would be the only witness of her last apparition and a star shining for a second even in the day light of this merry twenty-five December.
