What I want

 SUMIRE

At Sunrise street, Toh's place, Star town.

'Stupid Aki, even though he knew I was busy because of Hijiri's issue, he still sent me on a job right after.' Normally she would kick up more of a fuss, but speaking with Yuhi gave her strength. It's weird how much of an effect a single person can have on her. 

'I didn't think he would be so accepting towards mine and Toh's relationship. For a moment I thought maybe Yuhi's feelings for me weren't as strong as the ones I had for him. But, when we video chatted, I saw how puffy his eyes were.'

Yuhi cried.

He must have cried a lot.

And yet, he still called and offered her advice. She doesn't deserve Terashima Yuhi, she never did. It would be better if he moved on and found someone else. It was on the tip of her tongue to suggest it, but she couldn't.

"You're late." A voice said interrupting her thoughts.

Sumire's eyes widened seeing Toh. "I-I thought you'd be sleeping by now."

Toh exhaled deeply and ran his hands through his hair.

"Do you really think I would be able to sleep without you in my arms?"

Thump.

Thump.

There goes her heart beat again.

It's a relief that the hallway is dark, otherwise he would see her flushed face.

Sumire stared at him for a few seconds and Toh extended his hand out. "Come."

At those words, she rushed into his arms and Toh hugged her tightly.

"I've missed you beautiful."

Four words, and yet she can feel the sincerity, the love.

'I've missed him too, even though we were together this morning.' 

"You're already getting comfortable."

Sumire coughs awkwardly but she didn't move away and Toh picked her up. "Did you eat?"

"Mm, I had a few bites." Sumire lied.

"It's late, so I made you some soup. Eat that before bed."

She immediately noticed they weren't heading to the dining room but Toh's room. He must have been prepared for her to come late, and not eat. This person really knows her well.

'He sees through everything, even my petty lies.'

Once they arrived, she saw the mini folded up table on the bed and a lovely aroma coming from the dishes.

"Did you just cook?"

"No, I made those a few hours ago."

Then, he must have just heated the food up. Did he even predict when she would be home?

Toh suddenly puts her down and looks her up and down. He seemed to be debating something, before leaning down to kiss her. Sumire happily obliged, and kissed him back.

After a moment she found her hands on his back, and felt Toh brush his hands on the button on her shirt. "May I?"

Sumire nodded.

Toh helps her remove her shirt, then her skirt. He pauses at her undergarments. "Do you want me to?"

"Mm."

It's okay if it's him.

Despite her embarrassment, she watched Toh remove her clothes for her. Each layer that fell to the ground, left her exposed. Eventually there was nothing else to remove. 

Toh doesn't move right away, and Sumire feels him look her up and down, scanning every detail. Sumire covers her chest with her arms.

"Do you have to look? It's not like you haven't seen it already."

Toh's lips curve to a smirk. "Are you sure beautiful? Whenever we do anything, you insist on keeping yourself hidden. It's hard for me to get a proper look like this."

Now that he mentions it, that's true. 

Sumire takes a deep breath before she moves her arms away. "L-l-ook quickly, it's cold."

Toh chuckled darkly and pulled her into his arms. 

It's not the first time they have hugged but hugging while she has no clothes on?

"I really do want to treasure you Ibuki Sumire. I know I have been touching you a lot lately. But, I want to take things slow. I don't want to overwhelm you."

"It does get overwhelming, but it's not like I hate it." Sumire mumbled.

Despite how passionate he gets with her, she understands that he holds back. 

Sumire extends her hands out and caresses his face. 

Toh's gaze softens. "If you're not careful, you'll end up being the meal beautiful."

"What if I want that?"

 ....

When she woke up, she saw the dim lighting and Toh's figure as he sat up and typed away on his laptop. He wore only a bathrobe. Despite the dim light, she could see the marks she made.

'I-I never knew I could be so bold.'

Ever since she started dating Mashima Toh, she has discovered many things about herself she didn't know before.

'I didn't realize, how much I crave the warmth of another person. To be held, and loved so deeply.'

"You can switch the light on if you're still working." Sumire spoke up.

Toh turned to her and chuckled. "It's alright, I'm almost done."

Sumire tried to move but her body was sore all over. Toh chuckled and he extended his hand out to touch her face. 

"As amazing as you were, you should know better than to push yourself beyond your limits."

Sumire pouted. "What's wrong with being curious?"

"Nothing love, and normally I would entertain your fantasies. But, when were you going to tell me you were injured?"

Sumire sweat fell sensing his tone and she raised her hand in surrender. "I didn't know I was hurt badly, I thought it was just a graze."

"It was just a graze, but because of your little experiment just now. Well-"

Her cheeks colour. "C-can you blame me? Y-you were looking at me like that."

Toh shuts his laptop and suddenly goes on top of her. 

"Yes beautiful, I will not deny having a fetish of staring at you. But, between the two of us, you're the one in charge. So, you should have stopped me."

'I don't want to stop, I want him to learn everything about me and the same goes vice versa before we run out of time.'
