★ MINE ★
FIREWORKS SPECTACLE

          it was a great kiss. It was a really, really great kiss. It was like a fairy tale. The stars shone above their heads. The mild wind blew around them and only the moon gave them a little light. You could hear crickets singing in the distance and the gentle sound of the sea.

     Kazuha was shy, very cautious, but that didn't bother her. With every second he became more confident and when he placed his hands on her hips and pressed her against his body, a soft moan escaped her. And he smiled in the Kiss. Oh, she liked him. She liked him so much.

     She liked how gently he was. How caring he was. How he didn't stop kissing her. She could barely breathe, but that didn't bother her. He could kiss her as long as he wanted. Because he kissed so well. He kissed her like she was the air he needed to breathe and that made her knees weak.

     She could have continued kissing him forever, but when the sky above them lit up and a loud bang followed, they jumped almost at the same time. Although she was pretty sure that Kazuha was just flinching because of her.

     »W-what was that?«

     »The fireworks«, Kazuha said softly.

     Kimiko turned away from him a little and looked up at the sky. She had already forgotten about the fireworks. But there it was. And it was really beautiful. Much nicer and bigger than the little one at home.

     She was so impressed by the bright colors that she barely noticed Kazuha moving around. He scooted behind her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer to him, against his chest.

     She couldn't help but smile. He was so cute. »What are you doing?«

     He rested his chin on her right shoulder and held her even tighter. »I'm watching the fireworks«, Kazuha said with his gentle voice. »And.. hugging my Favorite redhead.«

     »Your Favorite redhead?«

     »My Favorite Person.« He pressed a kiss to her cheek and she liked the way he relaxed. How he became more calm around her. How he slowly felt more comfortable. »Do you like the fireworks?«

     Kimiko nodded. She liked it very much. But she liked his kisses even more and the way he held her tightly. How he snuggled up to her. »Its amazing. I really like the pink ones.« Because they shone brilliantly and turned the entire sky pink.

     »They have the same shade as your eyes«, Kazuha said. »They also shine just as beautifully.«

     »You kind of a smooth talker when you fell comfortable.«

     But right at the moment she brought it up, whenever she complimented him, he would become completely quiet again. She couldn't help but find his behavior absolutely adorable. She turned into his arms to look at him again. She was so close to him that she felt the warmth of his skin and bumped her nose against his.

     »I love it when you say such things, like you writing a new haiku.« He stared at her. Cheeks red again as always. »I might move around a little if you feel more comfortable with me not being so close to you.«

     »No!«

     »No?«

     »I-i want to be close to you«, He stammered. »I just don't know how to act when you.. when you.« Kazuha seemed to be searching for words. And Kimiko gave him the time. She liked him so much, she wanted him to feel comfortable with her.

     »Well when you say such things.«

     »Because they make you nervous.« He nodded embarrassedly, which only made her smile. She gently lifted his chin. »I think that's pretty enchanting, Kazuha.«

     A smile appeared on his lips that she would really like to feel again. »I want to know your Name too.«

     She had been wondering when he would bring this up. Of course he wanted to know what her name was. Of course he wanted to call her by her name. And Kimiko didn't want to hide it from him any longer. Her name wouldn't give her away right away, would it?

     Many girls could be called Kimiko. Also! He was her age, hardly anyone talked about her or knew she existed, so how was he supposed to know that someone from the Kujou clan was called Kimiko?

     »I-i want to know the name of the girl I would really... like to kiss again.«

     Kimiko could understand that. Really. She leaned in and pressed her lips to his. He kissed her back immediately like he really needed it. He also let her wrap her hands around his neck and let her lean closer against his chest. She pushed herself more against him and then he lost his balance and landed on his back with her on top of him.

     Kimiko wanted to apologize. She hadn't intended that. But Kazuha put his arms around her and pulled her down to him so he could continue kissing her. He ran his right hand over her back and Kimiko noticed the goosebumps appearing.

     She didn't saw much of the fireworks, but finally being able to kiss Kazuha was much nicer anyway. And he had to feel the same way, otherwise he wouldn't hold her and keep kissing her.

     »Kazuha..« He deserved to know her name. But she couldn't say anything more than his name. Every further word was swallowed up by his kisses. And every kiss got better, more intense. She didn't like being interrupted. But being interrupted by his kisses wasn't bad at all. Also she really liked his soft groans when she ran through his hair and moved her hips a little.

     She had fun making him lose control over his body. He always was so incredible gentle, what she liked! But Kimiko was curious if he could be different. Whether he could be more determining. She wanted to look at him, to create some space between them. To look in his eyes. But he wouldn't let her. He just wrapped his arms around her even tighter.

      A small giggle escaped her lips. »K-kazuha, i can't breath.«

     »That's what i feel when you talking to me«, He murmured. »When you make me blush..«

     She had to smile. It was sweet when he admitted what an influence she had on him. She liked that. How honest he was, even though he had trouble not running away from every nervous attack.

     »It's Kimiko.« She finally managed to whisper against his lips and noticed how he started to smile. She loved his smiles. It was so beautiful on his thin lips.

     Kazuha opened his eyes and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He looked at her differently than before. Still with a certain shyness and admiration. But his eye contact was more intense. It was so intense that Kimiko herself became kinda nervous.

Her lips felt stun. Something was missing. They were swollen and numb from his kisses. She absentmindedly ran her finger over her lips. She was already addicted.

     Kazuha smirked about her action. Even though he looked absolutely sweet and somewhat innocent, Kimiko was pretty sure he knew what he was doing. That he knew what effect his kisses had. He sat upright, almost holding her so that she was sitting on his lap. And to be honest, sitting one his lap, made her go crazy. She could feel a tingling feeling sliding further and further down from her stomach.

     »That's what i feel when you talking to me, Kimiko«, He repeated.

     She thought she was about to die. Really. She hadn't known names had such an effect. That she would feel so good when he said her name. It sounded so beautiful when he said it. With his gentle loving voice. Now she knew how he felt. And he was right. It was special.

     »Kimiko«, He murmured. »Kimiko is a pretty Name.«

     She felt herself getting warm, even though the wind was blowing around them. She noticed how the tingling feeling became even stronger. »Stop saying it so often..«

     »But I like your smile when i say it.« Kazuha raised his hand and stroked her cheek. »And that slight blush.« She was blushing? She never blushed. But with him. He could easily make her nervous if he wanted to. And Kimiko kinda liked his impact. But she also liked making him nervous again

     »And i definitely like kissing you.« She knew that she could silence him like that. She knew that would make him stare shyly again. And gosh she loved that. She loved knowing exactly what to say to making him tense. »Your quite a good kisser, you know?«

     His cheeks turned red again and without being able to say anything else he kissed her again. »Then at least you can't talk.« Kimiko laughed, but it was barely audible through his kisses.

     The fireworks were long over when Kimiko lay wide awake in her bed at night. She couldn't sleep. How should she? She had spent the entire evening with Kazuha. And they had kissed. So incredibly often. She couldn't think of anything else. Every time she closed her eyes her stomach began to tingle again.

     She thought about how he had snuggled up to her. How he had just done it on his own, without hesitation. How he had become a little bit more open. How he had held her. The way his hands had touched her also drove Kimiko crazy. He was driving her crazy.

     And the way his lips had moved against hers! It had felt so good. So damn good. Even though he was no longer with her, Kimiko could still feel his kisses. It was the last thing on her mind before she finally fell asleep and the first thing on her mind when she woke up again.

     In an exaggeratedly good mood, she lay in the bathtub full of foam while Nanami filed her fingernails. Kimiko wasn't actually really found off being helped with everything and being allowed to do almost nothing on her own, but today she didn't care at all. She was in too good a mood to discuss anything.

     »How were the fireworks?«

     Kimiko ran her right hand through the warm water. She wasn't really there. She was still in her dreamland. With Kazuha. And she never wanted to leave her world again.

     »Miss Kujou?«

     »Oh, I don't care which color.«

     An amused snort left Nanami's lips. »Very nice to know, but that wasn't my question.«

     »Although I think I would like pink or maybe orange.«

     »Miss Kujou, is everything alright?«

     Kimiko couldn't help but grin overjoyed. »I've never felt so good.«, She said. »And I'm pretty sure I want pink.«

     »Pink like your eyes, good choice.« She got the pink nail polish and started painting Kokomi's left fingernails. »Would you like to tell me today who makes you so happy?«

     »Who?«

     »I've known you for a very long time now. Miss Kujou. You haven't seemed really happy since your mother left us«, She explained. »Nobody couldn't cheer your up and I don't even want to start talking about your father.«

     Yes, it was really no secret that Nanami didn't like Kimiko's father. Maybe because he was so strict. Maybe because he had a crack. But she had liked her mother. Nanami had only worked for Kimiko's mother for a year, but she seemed to have been very happy during that time. After that, she immediately assumed that she would take care of Kimiko herself.

     Everyone should have someone like Nanami. Someone who was there for you. Even if she was paid and was an employee. Kimiko saw her more as a big sister.

     »So from a purely logical point of view, someone very special must be responsible for your good mood.«

     »We kissed.« Kimiko couldn't just keep it to herself anymore. She had no one to talk to. Not really. So she confided it to Nanami. »Sososo many times!«

     Nanami nodded, grinning. »I thought so.«

     »It was magical, you know. I've never feld this way before and I truly want to see him again, but.« Kimiko sighed. »I should tell him who I am at some point, right?«

     »Does this special someone like you?«

     »I-i think so, yes.«

     »Then he deserves the truth.«

     Kimiko was grateful to Nanami. She didn't ask who they were talking about. She didn't want to know his name, where he came from. She was just willing to help and that was wonderful about her.

     »But I have to say I'm a little bit sad that you trusted Hiroki more than me.«

     Kimiko couldn't help but laugh. »He figured it out himself. I actually didn't want to tell him. I actually didn't want to tell anyone.«

     »Well, sometimes it's better to let a few people you trust know.« She winked. »These confidants can help you then.«

     She was right. Hiroki had helped her a lot over the last month. He had helped her to help the poorer people. He had helped her sneak away from home more often. He had helped her meet with Kazuha at least weekly. He hadn't told anyone. Well, he had told her brother because he obviously wanted to know what was going on in her life. But her brother wasn't really a problem. He was just annoying.

     And now that Kimiko thought about it, she realized that Nanami could help her too. She could trust her. She would cover for her just like Hiroki did. And besides, she didn't have to tell Nanami that it was about Kaedehara Kazuha. Although she thought there was a small chance she wouldn't preach to her like her brother and Hiroki had.
