[Closed] Body On Fire
"Yeah. Different," Okita agreed, still enjoying the sensation of her fingers on his skin as goosebumps sprawled across his entire body. The realization of what had just happened was starting to sink in. The endorphins were finally abiding, and Okita found a strange clarity in its place. He'd just h...

Yeah, something was wrong. Maru couldn’t put his finger on it, but Sayuri had something that was weighing on her mind. He wouldn’t press her about it, not in front of Eman, but he didn’t want Sayuri to think that she had to handle her problems on her own. She had helped him shoulder so much, and now...

Yasu’s fingers on Okita's chest were a foreign sensation to him, but it was one he welcomed. Yasu could feel the goosebumps rising on his skin even as they trailed up his torso. He shuddered again as she moaned into him, his lust spiking momentarily as he pushed into the kiss just a bit deeper. Just...

Okita the scholar had checked out for a moment. Okita the genin wasn't currently in the office. Okita the young adult was here instead. Okita the man was piloting this ship, and in this moment, it was careening forward across the stormy waters before it. He relished the feeling of her arms around hi...

From the corner of his eye, Maru caught Sayuri's staring down at her plate. He turned his eyes to her as Eman began to eat, thinking perhaps she was simply examining one of the morsels on her plate, but he caught a split second of something else, a sliver of sorrow amidst this otherwise joyous occas...

Okita's hairs were standing on end as the seconds passed into minutes. He became keenly aware of every brush of Yasu's fingers and every desperate breath she took in their intense exchange of passion. His fingers were equally eager, and while his right hand remained on the back of Yasu's head, his l...

Okita was likewise befuddled by the beginning of Yasu's explanation, but her words quickly began to coalesce into a concrete explanation, the warmth of her hand against his cheek strangely comforting. In a way, the genin could relate. People often chose what they wanted to see about the people aroun...

Yasu inched herself closer and closer to Okita, and he wasn't certain to move forward or flee, but his eyes intensely drilled into hers looking for an answer that he wasn't sure he was going to find.

Sayuri's infallible instincts yet again zeroed in on a small habit of Eman's.

Normally Okita would have taken the opportunity to jab at Yasu coughing up a storm as she inhaled spices and narcotics by the lung-full. He was half-inclined to still do so. It would have been the easiest out for this conversation that he was somehow having with a woman who he had kissed basically a...

Okita’s eyes roved the streets of the desert village looking for that black pearl, so coy and yet obfuscated all the same.

For a brief moment, Okita felt Yasu's hand leave his leg, and through the tingling of his skin from the rough kiss, he felt a small rush of victory. And almost immediately afterward, any thought of the game left his mind as Yasu didn't pull or shove him away. Okita didn't immediately understand why ...
