“Take your hands off me,” I commanded stiffly.
The jerk had the nerve to smile at me with that innocent look, but I wasn’t fooled. I knew he knew that I knew his words, his actions, his everything, were fake and empty. Yes, complicated I know. Then again, everything in my life is complicated.
His warm touch crept slowly downwards, a soft, fleeting presence against my skin. “Now, why would I do that, Ritsuka? You love this, ne?” He whispered, long and pale - artist - hands rubbing circles a little past my navel, causing tingles to run down my spine. I shivered. His voice was a seductive purr, a heady sensation clouding my mind.
“I meant it, Soubi,” I murmured dazedly, his distracting hands tracing patterns on my skin. I felt him smirk against my neck, and that snapped me out of whatever trance he put me in. How he could so easily slip past my defences I will never know, but I hurriedly pushed him away before he could lure me further into his trap.
“You loved it. You can’t deny it, Ritsuka. You want this too,” he said calmly. Cool blue eyes were trained to the front of my boxers.
“Leave! And that’s an order!” I shouted furiously, my cheeks feeling like they were on fire.
His face regained their regular stoic features. A sudden movement was all the warning I had before gentle, soft lips were pressed against my ears. The sensitive, cat-like appendages twitched at the touch.
“Goodbye, Ritsuka. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Soubi whispered, stepping out the balcony and into the night.
I flopped down onto the bed as he disappeared from sight. My face was still hot, as endless thoughts swirled in my head. I sighed at the confusing incident that had just taken place. This was just one more thing added to that growing list of worrying topics that was filed away in my mind, left there for me to pull out later and analyze. Some days, I wonder when my life had started becoming so… complicated. Messed up. Confusing. Probably after my brother’s death, when my old self had mysteriously disappeared, leaving me in his place to live his life.
Tired of the never-ending problems that revolved around my life, I tugged my pillow and wrapped my arms around the warm and comfortable object. I sniffed deeply into the pillow, the scent of Soubi still lingering from his time spent sleeping on my bed. With me. Strangely, the pillow brought no comfort to me tonight, as my eyes slowly slid shut. I ignored the cold empty feeling in my chest and complicated emotions shadowing my mind as I slipped into a fitful sleep.
