A/N: Trigger warning for strong female protagonist who isn't afraid to go after what she wants! Get used to it; though I'd like to think it's not too OOC for Aguri...
Her eyes fluttered open, staring at a familiar round head, who was staring far ahead as if lost in thought. She felt his smooth arms cradling her body almost protectively, the appendages quite warm and comfortable. They almost made her want to fall back asleep, but she mentally chided herself for that idea. She had so much work that still needed to be done for school; not to mention cleaning out her apartment. He would need a more comfortable place to stay than her dingy couch, she told herself, her body squirming slightly as she attempted to stretch out the tiredness in her muscles. Apparently this brought the octopus back from whatever he was daydreaming about, as his black orbs carefully examined her once more.
"Ah, you're awake...You had just fallen asleep too. Sorry, Aguri-san; I must've woken you up..." He muttered, the soft tone of his voice comforting to her. She could tell he was a bit flustered due to their closeness, able to feel his heart beating faster than usual. His face didn't show a hint of nervousness as he began to slowly unravel his tentacles from her body. The exhausted teacher only responds by tightly gripping the front of his robe, giving him pause as he looked into her large eyes.
"No, it wasn't your fault at all, . I...I was just thinking of all the things I have to do before tomorrow. As much as I'd like to, I can't just lie here like this." She said as a small smile crept over her bruised face, her hands carefully releasing their hold. She could feel his tentacles tremble slightly underneath her, understanding that even if his face didn't show he was nervous, his limbs did.
"You've had a rough day. I can take care of this stuff in less than a minute! So...Just relax and leave it to me. How about you get ready for bed?" He answered, his usual smile plastered on his face as he brought her to the door leading to her bedroom. She could tell something was off about him though; his wavering eyes and hands didn't lie. He was trying his best to hold back, his two pronged hands shakily caressing her cheek as he opened the door. She didn't want him to go, afraid that if she fell asleep he would leave her. Rationally she knew it was probably for the best; he was a dangerous creature made by the government. They would come after him sooner or later, now that the experiment has failed, seeing him as a liability. Even Aguri knew that the antimatter in his body wouldn't hold up for long. Still...he was the first person aside from her sister and students that treated her like she actually mattered.
"Please...I don't want you to leave just yet. I—" She begged, her face turning a small shade of pink as she watched his eyes for the answer. A pained sigh cut her off, the pair easily entering the small room, neither of them bothering with the lights. The large octopus only carried her to the bed in the room, his color once again changing to that muddy yellow she knew was confusion. The frame creaked slightly as he sat down, still holding her in his arms, the small teacher only looking up at him with her pleading gaze. I want to tell him...but would he reject my feelings? He is such a kind person at heart, despite his background...I fear he would just to protect me. The world may think of him as a monster, but I...I...
"I... Y-Yanagisawa only sees me as a tool, not caring about my feelings or self-esteem. He would use me for his own purposes and then toss me aside like I was nothing, despite all the time we've been engaged. Thankfully I have my sister and my students to encourage me when things have been getting rough...You also, have been there for me in the past year; giving me the support and strength I needed..." She starts to say, the Reaper only giving her a confused stare in response.
"Me? I didn't do much, really..." Aguri only offers him a soft smile at his response, one of her hands reaching out to caress his cheek. He feels himself involuntarily flush at the contact, his cheeks reddening slightly. He was also starting to become very flustered, mainly due to her closeness and not being sure at what she was getting at. Though he had an idea; maybe he was setting his hopes too high? She certainly wouldn't...What am I thinking? I'm just imagining things, probably...Maybe I should've asked Yanagisawa for hentai too...
"But you did... , you have been an almost constant source of support for me the past year. Even if all you did was listen, that still is so much more than Yanagisawa has given me over all the years we have been together. I...I can't just keep lying to myself..."
"Eh? W-W-What do you mean? Aguri-san, y-you must be tired! Why don't you lie down?" He attempts to set the woman down on the bed, lying her head on the comforter covered pillow softly, but he couldn't fully release her from his grip. Her tiny hand was powerfully clenched onto his own 'wrist', the other tugging once again on the front of his robe, keeping him from letting her go completely; though part of him didn't want to. He could have used his speed to escape the situation, but some small part of his mind wondered what would happen if he let it continue. That second of indescision cost him, the small woman tugging at him harshly as she gave him that odd stare that made his heart race. He felt himself fall forward, his eyes wide with shock as he nearly fell onto the woman lying on the bed, using his other appendages to stop himself just before their faces collided against each other. He could feel her breath on his skin, making him quite flustered as he began to blush. Aguri only responded by bringing her face closer, much to the nervous Reaper's surprise, her lips pressing forcefully against his cheek. He felt a tingling sensation spread through him, almost as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning, his tentacles wriggling slightly. Then she broke off the contact, her smooth lips leaving the slightest trace of warmth, a smile on her reddening face.
"If a simple peck on the cheek did that, I'm curious as to what other reactions I could get out of you..."
"O-other...reactions...?" He stammered, his whole body turning pink at the suggestion. Aguri only let out a chuckle, the smile on her face making him feel oddly vulnerable.
"I didn't think you'd react so...adorably. Seeing you get so flustered is interesting; Yanagisawa would only brush me off...If only I...never mind. , can I ask you for a favor? Please don't feel obligated..." She mutters, turning her head away from him slightly. He could still hear the pounding of her heart in her chest, making him even more nervous. What could she want now? He was afraid to ask, yet curiosity and his perverted nature egged him on.
"W-what is it? I'd rather not rush into things if possible...and this is going quite fast. N-not that I mind too much, but—" He nervously rambled, until her tiny fingers motioned for him to be quiet.
"Don't worry; I understand. It's just...Could you lay with me until I fall asleep?" Her request surprised him, the idea making him start to feel warm, his face flushing furiously. He felt her hands loosen their grip, though she held on tightly to his hand, his own numerous appendages lifting him up slightly as some of them wavered against the comforter. He only offered a small nod in response, moving himself onto the other side of the bed, lying sideways facing her.
"All right...I can do that much, I suppose. If you keep teasing me like this, however..." He trailed off, letting the implication hang in the air, slightly surprised when he saw her smile back at him a knowing gaze.
"...Fine. I admit I am too exhausted to actually...consider it. Not right now; but maybe at a later time..." She mutters, her statement causing his heart to flutter a bit from the implication, though he tried as hard as he could to calm himself. She didn't exactly say 'No'! He excitedly realized, though he doubted they would ever get that far or have the chance to. Still, he would like to at least have the opportunity to try...The feeling of something tiny and wet colliding against his tentacles repeatedly made him pause in confusion for a moment, raising his eyes to stare at the woman lying across from him.
She had started to cry, small tears running down her face, which felt like a punch in the stomach to him. Panic slowly rose through him as he gently began to wipe the tears off of her face, his two pronged tentacle feeling odd as more tears slid down her face. He felt one of his other tentacles slowly move over to her, delicately pulling her closer to him; despite the internal conflict within him, not wanting to touch her too much and get himself riled up. What the—these things seem to have a mind of their own sometimes...Or they could be the feelings I'm too scared to show outright...He considers, knowing full well that was a possibility. He was never the most outgoing person when he was human, oft keeping any thoughts or ideas he found unimportant to himself, unless they possibly had to deal with his work. Was this a way to compensate for that now? He wasn't too sure; all he knew at the moment was that he wanted to calm the flow of tears sliding down her cheeks, if he was even able.
"...Sorry...I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I'm just thankful that today is over, maybe? So much has happened in such a short time..." Aguri mutters, using the back of her hand to wipe her eyes. He felt her tiny form inch closer to him, making him a bit nervous as her body heat enveloped him. He liked the feeling; it was somewhat comforting to him. He couldn't tell why though...The Reaper just used his appendages to pull the woman into his grip, his hand tentacles wrapping around her head softly, rubbing her hair and face.
"Yeah...It has been a rough day for you, huh? Tomorrow will be better, don't worry...Just try to fall asleep." He hesitantly answers, not too sure of exactly what to say in this scenario. He was worried that his words ran hollow; she had just barely survived an accident that could have killed her, had her fiancé finally break up with her after a physical confrontation, not to mention all the other things that had happened with her before that. All in one day, too...That would be hard for most normal people to take in. She must have better mental strength than I thought...That seems to have reached its limits now. That's fine; I'll try to be here when she needs it. Can't say I'd do a great job as support though...He thinks to himself, feeling her head tilt upward slightly so she could look up at him. Her onyx eyes are still wet with tears, though the flow of moisture has stopped temporarily, her gaze intense as she locks eyes with him once more. He feels her tiny arms wrap around his shoulders, momentarily surprised as her head presses against his chest, her eyes quickly going to the large tie she had given him. She cradled her head against the crescent moon adorned fabric, feeling an odd warmth. She thought she could hear the panicked beating of his heart, which was slowly calming down as the seconds went by, making her own face flush. He's surprised, isn't he? Awww...At least now he can express...himself better than before...Good for you... ...I...I hope you...find...something...that makes...you truly happy...She thought, her consciousness slowly drifting off into the darkness of sleep.
