Chapter 31

Your eyes widen when he does that. He pulls away with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I'm going to go..." He says slowly getting off the bed. You grab him by his shirt collar causing him to stop and look at you. 

"Don't go..." You softly say. Baji leans forward and kisses you again, resting his knee on the edge of the bed. You slowly kiss him back, still holding onto his shirt collar. He gently pushes you down and hovers over you. 

He continues to kiss you, slowly using his tongue. You rest your hands on his shoulders as you feel his thumb slowly move down your jaw. He positions his legs in a way where your legs wrap around his. He lowers his body down to where you can feel his body's warmth. You wrap your arms around his neck. The more the two of you kiss the deeper and more passionate it gets. 

Baji slowly pulls away and takes off his shirt. You can see his muscles and abs. He looks a lot stronger without a shirt than he does with a shirt. Baji notices you looking and grabs your wrist, making you touch his abs. Making you rub his stomach and chest. You move your hand up towards his neck and he begins to kiss you again, lifting your legs a bit.

You can feel his hand slowly go up your waist. Baji stops and looks down at what you're wearing.

"I was going to ask about this earlier... when did you get into a dress...? I noticed it when we were at the karaoke lounge..."

"... I was wearing it before I went to the hideout..." You respond.

"..."

"Why? Does it not look good?" You ask.

"It's not that... I'm not used to you wearing something like this... Like that big ass brace on your leg..." He motions to the brace. "Did you not get crutches?" Baji asks.

"I did... I left them at school by accident..." You reply. Baji pulls the rubber band from his wrist and ties his hair up. Then he grabs you by the waist and pulls you closer to him. He looks down at you for a bit, rubbing your left thigh that's wrapped around his waist. He sinks down a little and places his hands on your waist, slowly pushing them up a bit. He leans down towards you and kisses you up and down your neck. He pulls the dress up over your head and throws it to the side. 

Baji rests his hands on the sides of your waist as he kisses down your stomach and down your inner thighs. He moves to the side and pulls you with him. Now you're sitting on his lap. He wraps his arms around you, pulling you in closer to him. He continues to kiss you while rubbing your back. You rub your hands up and down his neck. You feel Baji grab the back of your bra and unclip it. Your bra drops off and he moves it to the side. You grab the rubber band from his hair and pull it off making his hair fall down to his shoulders.

"Why did you take it out?" He sooths, rubbing his lips to the side of your cheek and lightly pecking as he moves.

"Your hair looks prettier down..." You say moving his hair to the side. He pulls away and quietly looks at you. You tilt your head to the side in confusion. His facial expression changed. "Are you okay...?" You ask.

"Yeah..." He softly says moving you off him. 

"What's wrong?" You ask Baji as he stands up and grabs his shirt.

"I shouldn't be doing this with you..." Baji replies.

"Do what? Kiss?" You ask.

"Yeah... I can't- Don't tell Mikey... ok? Don't tell anyone." He sighs. You slowly nod watching him in confusion.

"Are you okay?" You ask.

"I'm alright." He replies. You relax your body, sinking down a bit. 

"Are you sure?" You question. He stands still holding his shirt in his hand and then puts it on. 

"Yeah. We can't talk after today." Baji states. You furrow your eyebrows.

"Why?" You ask.

"Because it's wrong..." He answers.

"Wrong why?" You ask.

"Leading you on like this..." He huffs.

"Leading me on?"

"If we kiss and I tell you I like you... you would allow me to... right?" He asks. You nod. "But say I die... All I did was hurt you." He sighs.

"You're going to die?" You ask.

"No... I'm saying what if..." He sighs and rubs his head. "I don't want to be misleading... I don't want to hurt you." Baji adds.

"..." You slowly nod, zoning out a bit and looking down. Baji lifts your face up towards him and kisses you again. Your eyes widen as he does. He slowly pulls away and smiles at you.

"Out of all the girls I've met... you are the only one I want. But so does Mikey..." He says moving back. "Don't contact me after this... ok? I don't want you getting involved with what I'm doing..." He softly says walking towards your bedroom door.

"We won't talk anymore?" You ask. Baji stops walking and looks back at you standing in silence.

"Wait for me... ok?" He replies. You nod. He slightly smiles and walks out the bedroom closing the door behind him. You can hear him close the door to the stairs. You sigh and lay back on your back. Your heart is racing and your body feels hot.

Do I like him?  You thought to yourself. You slowly drift into sleep thinking about it.

The morning comes and the sun shines through the window. You groan and turn over, covering your face with your blanket. 

Knock Knock

"mmm..." you groan.

Knock Knock

"You know if you keep skipping class you will be the one with the lowest grades in our class..." Eli yells from outside the bedroom. Your eyes quickly open when he says that. You slowly get out of bed. Your head feels heavy and your eyes hurt. 

"ugh..." You slowly walk towards the closet, going through your stuff. "Eli... what time is it?" You ask.

"Uh... I don't know..." He replies.

"How don't you know?" You question looking towards the door.

"Cause I don't have a watch... and there's no clock in your house." He answers.

"What about your phone?"

"I don't have that either... Let's just say you have an hour before school starts." He states.

You grab a long shirt from your closet and put it on. Then you grab your uniform and a towel. You open your bedroom door and walk over towards the bathroom.

"You're going to shower now? Do you think you have enough time for that?" 

"I have enough time..." You respond. Eli nods and plops down on your couch. You go into the bathroom and take a shower.

After taking a shower and you get dressed and you brush your hair. You stare at yourself in the mirror. You lift up your hair to see how it looks tied up. You look cute with your hair tied up. You walk into your bedroom looking around to see if you can find a hair tie. You see one on the bed. A black one. You pick it up and examine it.

"This is Baji's..."  You say to yourself. You walk back into the bathroom and brush you hair back, tying it into a low ponytail. You grab a soft headband, putting it on your head. You walk out the bathroom, putting one shoe on and putting your jacket on. You notice the crutches you left at school are by the door. Maybe Eli brought them here... Now thinking about Eli... where is he?

You turn towards the couch to see Eli slumped over on the couch fast asleep.

"Eli..." You softly say. He doesn't respond. "ELI!" You yell. Eli slowly opens an eye to look at you. 

"Damn... that was fast..." He groans slowly sitting up. 

"You brought my crutches here?" You ask.

"Yeah... I thought you might need it..." Eli answers. "Come on... we need to go, otherwise we will be late." Eli motions as he gets up. You grab your crutches and walk towards the stairs.

The two of you slowly walk to school. Eli carries your bag as you use your crutches.

"How did you walk around yesterday without using crutches?" Eli questions. You furrow your eyebrows thinking about it.

"I didn't put any pressure on my foot... that's why it was somewhat easy." You reply.

"mmm... so what happened yesterday?" He asks.

"What do you mean?"

"That guy pulled you out of school and Mikey was looking for you..." Eli states.

"Did he say anything to you?" You ask.

"He only asked where you went... that's all." Eli answers.

"Oh."

"So what did that guy want?" Eli questions.

"What guy? Kazutora?" You ask.

"Yeah him."

"I can't tell... I guess to hang out with him..." You reply.

"HEY YUKI!" A voice says from behind you. You turn around to see Mitsuya and Peh-yan.

"Peh-yan?" You whisper. The last time you saw him was when your leg was being broken by a wrench. 

"Sup Eli." Mitsuya waves.

"Hey..." Eli says back. Mitsuya looks at you and smiles. 

"Is your leg getting better?" He asks.

"Yeah... kinda." You answer. You slowly look at Peh-yan. Peh sighs and bows towards you then looks back at you.

"Sorry... for what happened..." Peh-yan rasps. "I was being an idiot... and-"

"It's okay." You interrupt. He slowly nods.

"Can I steal her from you?" Mitsuya sooths, looking at Eli and pointing towards you.

"eugh... I guess... Even though I wanted to have a peacful walk with her without anyone taking her from me again..." Eli sighs.

"Okay! Thanks!" Mitsuya bubbles grabbing your bag from Eli. Eli squints his eyes at Mitsuya. Mitsuya pulls you away. 

After walking a distance from Eli, Mitsuya looks at you. 

"What's up?" You say looking at him.

"So... You met Kazutora..." He mentions.

"Yeah."

"What did he tell you?" He asks.

"What did he tell me? He didn't tell me anything..." You reply.

"Did you know Baji quit Toman...?" Peh rasps. You stop walking and slowly look towards them, hopping on one foot to turn towards them.

"What did Mikey do when Baji quit?" You ask.

"I don't know... I didn't stick around." Mitsuya replies.

"Oh... okay..."

"Are you friends with Kazutora?" Peh asks.

"We just met... I wouldn't consider ourselves friends..." You reply.

"mmm... Yuki... Stay away from him- ok? He's not someone you want to be around." Mitsuya implies.

"Why do you say that?" You ask.

"... Just trust me." He answers.

"oh... okay." You want to ask more but you feel like you shouldn't so you stay quiet instead.

"You're still going to help me with the project for the school festival... right?" Mitsuya asks.

"Right..." You reply.

"Good. The day after Halloween... start coming to the home economics room... If I'm not there... Yasuda will be there." He sooths.

"Okay..." You nod.
