AUTHOR'S NOTES: It's interesting how innocent Sousuke seems about certain things, considering some of the primitive and/or downright seedy places he's spent his life - after all, this is the guy who thought kissing was the same as artificial respiration. I can only guess that he's heard nearly all the terms, and probably witnessed most of the actions, but lacks the knowledge of which matches which. Like someone who's never heard music, knowing the terms `rock' and `pop', listening to Linkin Park but not having the context to know which category it fits in. I don't know if Japanese high schools have sex education, but when I was in high school, it was actually done at a lower level than Sousuke is now, so he might not have even that sort of insight. I'm pretty sure that Kaname at least pointed him towards a biology textbook after his `date' with Mizuki, but the story played out better this way.

SOUNDTRACK: “Put your lights on” Santana featuring Everlast, and “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot.

 

 

Looking out the window of the girls' room, Kaname was startled to see flashing lights out on the hill. She frowned in suspicion; hanging around Sousuke had given her a familiarity with the results of certain... devices. But then, several people in class 2-D who'd gone on a certain sketching event in the park were also familiar with the effects of a landmine.

 

She looked at the other girls, but no one else had noticed the lightshow outside; Tessa had her back to the window, intent on trying to figure out who had the card that would let her make `gin', and Melissa, who would normally notice something immediately, was in the bathroom.

 

Deciding to handle this herself, she slipped past the others, murmuring something non-committal, and strode quietly towards the boys' room.

 

It was empty.

 

Her disaster-sensitive nerves tingling - they'd become a lot more responsive since a certain military maniac had entered her life - she looked around for some clues, spotting a colorful piece of paper on the table. Studying it, she saw it was a detailed map of the grounds, and not a courtesy map either. This was the sort of thing you'd need to plan a strategic attack - or a surveillance mission. Kaname put two and two together, and came up with five. She could make a guess why Kurz had a map like this, and why Ono-D and Shinji were missing. And why a bunch of landmines were going off up in the hills overlooking the open-air baths.

 

It was kind of sweet that Sousuke was going to these lengths to protect her dignity. Kaname resolved to only reprove him for the damage to the grounds when she caught up with him. He wouldn't have gone out there to provide backup, surely?

 

After checking the games room and the dining room, Kaname gave up for the moment. Since she was right near the baths anyway, she decided on another dip. Being by herself shouldn't be a problem if she didn't stay in too long. Besides, she'd been surrounded by so many people for almost two weeks now; some time alone would be nice.

 

The lights were subdued at night, but more than adequate for safe vision. Kaname quickly undressed, piling her clothing tidily on one of the shelves provided, and wandered out to the bath. She moved fairly quickly, as the mountain air had developed a cool bite to it with the coming of night.

 

Thanks to her speed and the muted lighting, she didn't see the dark head at the other end of the pool.

 

Sousuke was exhausted by the events of the last two weeks, including his illness, so his normally battle-ready nerves were dulled. Combined with the relief of knowing that the boys' plans had failed, it really wasn't surprising that it took a few seconds of splashing before he realized that he was no longer alone.

 

He lifted his head, adrenaline running through his body, as he sought the source of the gentle noise. His searching eyes were met with the vision of Kaname's head emerging from the surface, her hands running through her hair to slick it away from her face.

 

“K-Kaname?”

 

Eyes widening in shock as she ducked to chin-level in the water, Kaname's gaze landed on him, before the brown orbs narrowed into a dangerous look he was all too familiar with.

 

“You - you - * hentai* !” she hissed. “What do you think you're doing here?”

 

“Taking a bath?” Sousuke offered. Surely it was obvious?

 

“In the women's baths?” Kaname demanded, albeit quietly.

 

“The men's and women's baths switch sides at ten. Didn't you know either?”

 

Kaname blushed at being caught off-guard and in ignorance. Then she turned a deeper red at the thought of what could have happened if anyone besides Sousuke had been here. Then his last words filtered through. “Either?”

 

Sousuke nodded.

 

“Someone made it through your landmines?”

 

“And the motion-activated laser grid. Kurz must have stayed behind to take them out with a rifle. I don't know what's happened to Ono-D, but I'm certain Kurz made sure he wasn't seriously injured.”

 

Kaname snickered, “Bet they're disappointed at being foiled.”

 

Sousuke's voice was thoughtful as he replied, “Probably not as disappointed as Shinji was when he came sailing over the wall, landing in the bath, and found only me here.”

 

Kaname took a moment to appreciate exactly what Sousuke had said, and found herself almost rolling in the water with laughter as she pictured Shinji's face. As she caught her breath, she realized again where she was, and started to move over to the edge as she told Sousuke, “Turn your back.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because I need to move to the women's baths, that's why!” Surely it was obvious?

 

“You couldn't stay?”

 

It was the plaintive tone of voice as much as the words that stopped Kaname in her tracks. “Sousuke?”

 

“With all the confusion of the captain's visit, and my needing to guard her as well, and Mao providing backup... we haven't had the chance to talk much in the past weeks.”

 

Kaname openly stared. Was he saying what she thought she was? She decided he was, and replied, “I've missed spending time with you too, Sousuke.”

 

Moving over to Sousuke until she was just outside arms-reach, Kaname checked that the water level was above her breasts as they started to quietly talk. When they weren't hurtling from crisis to crisis - whether terrorist attack or Sousuke leaving her Classics notes at home, and needing to retrieve them before lunch finished - she really did enjoy his company. Truth be told - and the hot water and the soft lighting made it easier to admit - she enjoyed his company all the time.

 

She wouldn't even consider this with any other male of her acquaintance - even her father - but this was Sousuke. At the beach last summer in her white bikini, she'd had one teenage boy running his bike into a pole when he caught a look at her, as well as dozens of less obvious reactions. Sousuke hadn't even blinked. In anyone else, she would have just assumed he was gay, but she didn't get that sort of vibe from Sousuke. She guessed he was just too oblivious to his own hormones - it was a little sad, really, that he'd spent so long fighting to survive that he hadn't even noticed he was going through puberty.

 

While Sousuke was describing how he'd set up the lasers around the perimeter, Kaname's gaze idly followed a glittering drop of water that caught the light, as it trailed down the top of a hard bicep to a chiselled shoulder, before spilling down his defined chest. Sousuke was slender and rangy rather than well built, but every muscle she could see was toned to near-sculpted effect.

 

If she hadn't been a little sleepy from the water, the dimness, and the lulling effect of Sousuke's company, she probably wouldn't have said what she did next. Probably.

 

“Sousuke? It really doesn't bother you?”

 

“What doesn't bother me?”

 

“Us sitting together here, naked. I mean, Ono-D and Shinji - not to mention Kurz - would be having such heavy nosebleeds they'd be in danger of passing out from blood loss, but you don't even twitch.”

 

Sousuke frowned. “I've never really understood why people are bothered by nudity. Everyone comes in one of two standard models, after all. You have to remember, Kaname, I've been a professional soldier since I was big enough to hold a weapon. Military compounds and vessels only have communal bathing areas.”

 

“But they're still segregated into male and female, though.”

 

“True, but I haven't been at Mithril that long. When I fought in the Middle East as a child and adolescent, the only available bathing area was used by everyone in camp, and the closest thing to privacy was turning your back. After that, I lived in places where the only way you could bathe was standing in the rain. Even in Mithril, there have been missions where you're in such a hurry or so desperate to get clean, that everyone showers at the first opportunity, regardless of who else is in there.”

 

“Huh,” Kaname replied absently. “So seeing anyone naked doesn't have any meaning for you?”

 

Well, that would explain his lack of response to her white bikini.

 

She sensed, rather than saw, Sousuke shake his head. “No. Was that why you wanted me to turn my back before? Why should you be bothered at me seeing you naked? You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You have an ideal body.”

 

Kaname blinked, and looked at Sousuke. Did he just -?

 

Sousuke blushed, and stammered, “I mean - like Mr Mizuhoshi was talking about in art class, about the basics of the human form, in Michelangelo's sculptures...”

 

Kaname cut him off with a mischievous grin. “At ease, solider. It's nice to know that you haven't completely leapfrogged adolescence. Would it make you feel any better if I said that I thought you had a gorgeous body too?”

 

“Really?” Sousuke blinked. He'd never seen his body as anything more than a tool. He'd never used it as anything more than a weapon. So why did the thought of Kaname enjoying the sight of his body send a rush of heat through him that had nothing to do with the water?

 

“Yeah, really,” Kaname replied. She wasn't sure exactly where they were going with this, but she knew she really wanted to get there.

 

Still puzzled, Sousuke turned to look Kaname in the eyes - and froze, his breath catching as he struggled with an emotion he couldn't name but clawed at his insides until he shook.

 

This was the woman he was assigned to protect. This was the woman who knew exactly how heavily he armed himself and used an ocean suplex hold on him regardless. This was the woman who taught him how to cook Salisbury steak because she was worried about his dietary intake from eating nothing but vegetables and jerky.

 

Kaname's smile faded into shock, at the look in Sousuke's eyes. She'd never seen such raw need before, and it sparked a compulsion that she would rather stop breathing than resist. Torn between gentle compassion - he must be so scared, to be open like this - and unfamiliar desire - no boy had ever made her feel like this, let alone with a single look - she raised her dripping hands and cupped his face. Kaname leaned forward slowly, keeping her eyes open - she knew it wasn't the done thing, but she needed to keep seeing that look in Sousuke's eyes, or she'd lose her nerve. That and she was afraid she'd miss, otherwise. It wasn't like she'd ever done this before. Holding his face in her hands, she gently pressed her lips to his.

 

She could actually feel him gasp in surprise. Hadn't he even known what he was asking for?

 

Sousuke had free-fallen fifteen stories in an AS, and the landing had barely fazed him. So why did the impact from Kaname's soft mouth against his own make his world shake? Frozen by a mixture of wonder and want, all Sousuke could do was press back, watching the warmth in her smiling eyes.

 

As his lungs emptied of oxygen, he grew light-headed, until he had to break off. Panting from the onslaught of unfamiliar sensations running through his body, all he could do was murmur Kaname's name in bewilderment.

 

Kaname laid a dripping finger against his lips, shaking her head as she told him, “Ssssh.”

 

If Sousuke said something, she'd have to think about what was happening. If either of them thought about what they were doing, it would shatter this delicate atmosphere, and she didn't want it to end. She'd heard about this place, dreamed of it, but she'd started to wonder if she would ever be here herself.

 

There were reasons that she'd never kissed anyone before. All the boys who leered or looked at her hopefully, none of them had woken any kind of response in her heart. Even with Fuwa, her romantic turmoil had been emotional, not passionate. But she could never feel anything but passion with Sousuke. Searing rage, beleaguered exasperation, achingly touched, solid reassurance in the face of adrenaline-pumping danger - every emotion Sousuke sparked in her was fierce and full-blown. Kaname loved the way that Sousuke made her feel, especially now, and she was scared that if they stopped now, all his defences - or hers - would slam back down like armor and she would never feel this way again.

 

Still cradling his jaw between her hands, Kaname leaned forward and kissed him again, striving for something golden and sparkling she sensed just out of reach. So secure and at ease with Sousuke - when he didn't have anything to blow up - she'd completely forgotten they were both naked, and that he didn't have any experience in controlling his own desires.

 

As Kaname tentatively slipped her tongue between his parted lips, Sousuke groaned, and something snapped in his mind, making a lifetime's worth of intent focus and repression crumble. His long-ignored libido roared to life in an instant, making all concepts of `duty' and `propriety' go up in flames. All that mattered was the feel of Kaname's soft, wet mouth hot against his, and the need to feel her skin against his own. As he reached out for her, the slippery wet skin under his calloused palms and fingers made his entire body ache with the need to feel more. He didn't recognize the sound that came from his throat as her body collided with his, but was too lost in his strange emotions to be alarmed.

 

Kaname was so caught up in the molten gold trickling through her veins from Sousuke's kiss, that she didn't register his hands on her back. It wasn't until she broke off their kiss to breathe that she realized that she was pressed tightly against Sousuke, her breasts flattened against his chest, and her taut abdomen pressed against his hard stomach, with an even harder length trapped between them.

 

“Sousuke?” Kaname gasped. His eyes were feral with lust, and the wild expression on his face was a shocking contrast to the cool and composed Specialist she usually knew. How could she have stripped away all his military discipline like this, in only a few moments? Could she really affect him that much?

 

As Sousuke bent his head to press his lips against the thundering pulse in her throat, Kaname clutched at his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin, as she became aware of the place between her legs throbbing in time to her heartbeat.

 

Despite this uncharacteristic behavior, Kaname's trust in Sousuke was unshaken. He might not even understand what his body wanted, but he would cease his actions and leave if she asked. All she had to do was say the word, and he would stop. But, Kaname realized dazedly, she didn't want him to stop.

 

Then she felt water flowing against her skin, and realized that Sousuke was moving them towards the stairs. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he turned them, the momentum lifting her legs in the water as he sat down on the wide shallow step, shifting her so she straddled his lap. With their torsos still pressed together tightly, Sousuke's erection rasped against the hair between Kaname's legs, and she gasped, as her nether lips parted under the pressure and the base of his cock rubbed against her clit, making her see stars.

 

Sousuke's rationality had deserted him, leaving him a mass of instinct and emotion. The need raging through his body had a specific purpose, but he wasn't sure how to meet that need. The grinding hunger was most intense in his groin, so it made sense that hers would be too. He gripped Kaname's hips and lifted her body, sliding it up his, so he could find out where her need was centered.

 

His fingers encountered a hollow, and as he explored its contours, he found his fingers sinking deeper and deeper inside, while Kaname gasped and moaned in a way his most primal instincts recognised as pleasure. As his fingers twisted and probed inside her, he found tight muscles contracting around and gripping his digits, and a space even hotter and wetter than the water that surrounded them.

 

Kaname's eyes glazed over as she sighed, and the sight made his penis throb and twitch in reaction. It seemed fairly obvious what was supposed to go where, but when?

 

He was about to ask Kaname, when he felt her hands run through his hair and clench, tugging his face up to hers as she pressed her mouth to his again. Unlike her previous efforts, this time her tongue stabbed deep into his mouth, and Sousuke was vaguely astonished that he enjoyed it instead of gagging, as his own tongue automatically fought hers. As their mouths parted, he could see her eyes burning and intent in a way that he'd never witnessed before.

 

“Kaname?” he asked. He wasn't even sure exactly what he was asking, but he trusted her to know the answer.

 

Kaname smiled hungrily at the pleading tone of Sousuke's voice. She could probably make this strong warrior beg, but what would be the point? She wanted this, now, with her blood running like lava and the tension spiralling from the place between her legs that ached to be filled. His fingers felt incredible inside her, but she wanted more.

 

Still smiling, she slid a hand down his chest, revelling in the feel of the tight muscle beneath, until she could grasp him in her hand. “Here, like this,” she murmured, as she guided him inside her. It hurt as he sank into her, but nothing like she'd dreaded - guess all that athletics had been good for more than one thing.

 

As her fingers closed around him, nerve endings he hadn't quite realized were there sparked, setting off a chain reaction up and down the length of his penis, that only increased as he slid into the opening of her body. He felt a moment of concern - it seemed too small to properly allow him entry - but then Sousuke felt Kaname's inner muscles expand, stretching to accommodate him and letting him deeper inside. He couldn't help but groan at the exquisite sensations rippling through him, as her body slid down his until their pelvises met, and he could go no further.

 

Their eyes remained locked during the whole process, and Sousuke couldn't stop himself from shaking, not just from the physical sensations but the shattering intimacy of the moment. He'd never been this close to another human being - it was like she was melding into him, becoming part of him. He was so glad it was Kaname with him like this. It felt like she could see right into his soul, and he wasn't sure there was anyone else he could bear looking so deeply inside him. His arms tightened around her torso, hugging her tightly, trying to meld the rest of her with him as well. She kissed him again, their eyes staying open and locked on each other, and her hips rocked and ground onto his. Once, twice, and the tension in his groin exploded, sending shockwaves of ecstasy through his whole body, and he shouted his surprise and pleasure into Kaname's mouth.

 

As the kiss broke, he found himself trembling as a sudden exhaustion swept over his body in the wake of his release, and he rested his head on Kaname's shoulder, burying his face in her neck. It was only then that he realized that liquid was pumping from his penis into her body. For an excruciating moment, he was afraid he'd urinated inside her, then realized with a sigh of relief it was the white, sticky substance that he'd occasionally found inside his underwear or on the sheets of his bunk. It usually happened after those odd dreams of someone touching him that he never could quite remember. He'd thought about asking someone about it, but an inner instinct told him it was something private, and he'd learned the hard way that you didn't expose yourself more than necessary, psychologically or physically. Nothing showed up on his regular physicals, and it didn't happen often enough to really cause him concern, so he more or less ignored the whole thing.

 

It occurred to him that maybe Kaname would be able to tell him, so he lifted his head to ask, when he saw something in her eyes that chased away all his lassitude.

 

The clawing hunger he'd felt - it was still lurking in her gaze. There was no sign that she'd felt the same pleasure that he had. How could that be right? They both took part in this act, so they should both gain equal reward.

 

Kaname smiled as Sousuke trembled in her arms, her skin tingling at his breath on her neck. She hadn't expected how completely he revealed himself to her - she wondered if he knew. She could understand, now, why girls could be so devasted after break-ups, if it meant being deprived of this kind of closeness. She hadn't climaxed, but she hadn't really expected to - she'd still enjoyed herself, and Sousuke felt so very good inside her. Her body still throbbed and ached, but she could take care of that later.

 

Sousuke lifted his head with an inquiring expression, then froze, the contentment in his eyes turning to dismay.

 

“Kaname - you didn't feel it.”

 

“It's okay, Sousuke, I didn't expect-“

 

“You have every right to feel the pleasure I did - we did this together!” As Kaname floundered, he demanded, “How can I make you feel that way?”

 

Equal parts touched and aroused, Kaname gasped as he shifted inside her - he was still fairly hard - and sighed, “Touch me.” Taking hold of one of his hands, she guided his fingers down to where their bodies were joined.

 

“Your - your penis was rubbing me here, before, remember?” She moaned as he rubbed gently, sending sparks through her body, and guided his other hand to her chest. “My breasts, too, especially the tips.”

 

Sousuke eagerly complied with her instruction, managing just the right pressure as he fondled her breast, then bent his head and took the nipple of the neglected breast into his mouth. If he was going on instinct, he had great ones.

 

She'd been right on the edge, so it didn't take much - a gentle tug, a firm pinch, and the softening length inside her scraping over a sensitive spot, and she bit her lip to stifle her cries as a burning wash of bliss flooded her body from head to toe.

 

For the first time, Sousuke initiated a kiss, and the two now-sleepy and sated teenagers cuddled closer in the warm water.

 

After awhile, Sousuke murmured, “We need to leave very soon, Kaname - they'll be closing the baths.”

 

Brought back to reality with a thump, Kaname winced as she carefully stood up.

 

“Kaname, what's wrong? Did our activities aggravate a previous injury?”

 

Kaname grinned at her clueless lover, and shook her head. “You know how you get muscle aches when you do some kind of exercise your body isn't used to? It's like that.”

 

“So this was strange to you as well?” Sousuke asked, as he stood and followed her to the towels. She couldn't quite make out if he was relieved or disappointed.

 

“Not strange - but I'd never done this before,” Kaname replied. Suddenly it occurred to her - how much did Sousuke know about what they'd just done? “Hey, Sousuke?”

 

“Yes, Kaname?” Sousuke looked at her expectantly as they moved into the dressing hut.

 

“You know this was private, right? Just between us? If you want to talk about this, it shouldn't be with anyone else but me.”

 

“I thought as much,” Sousuke told her as he slid into the yukata provided by the spa. “It was very... personal, wasn't it?” He frowned, as if searching for the right word.

 

“Intimate?” Kaname asked. She knew exactly what he meant - it was like he'd been able to reach inside her and touch her heart. She would have had serious regrets about doing this with someone she didn't trust as much as she did Sousuke.

 

Sousuke nodded. “Even when the physical sensations almost overpowered my senses, I was still aware of how psychologically exposed I felt. I'm... I don't think I could have done something like this with anyone but you.”

 

Kaname smiled gladly. Her happiness gave her new confidence, and she gently teased, “Not even Tessa?”

 

Sousuke stood at near-attention, and his eyes widened in horror. “Absolutely not! This kind of relationship would be completely inappropriate between a commanding officer and a subordinate!”

 

“Calm down, Sousuke, I was just joking,” Kaname reassured him, as she fastened her waistband. She couldn't help but smile; even though she'd never really taken her `contest' with Tessa seriously, she still hated the thought of Sousuke doing what they just did with anyone but her. She didn't find the thought of doing it with anyone but him very appealing, either.

 

As she followed Sousuke out the door, she frowned in thought. The term `relationship' implied that he had a better understanding what had just happened than she thought; but something told her that they needed to have a long talk, no matter how embarrassing - after Tessa was gone. After all, when Sousuke misunderstood things, it usually lead to explosions and other random violence, and they really couldn't provide an explanation for the background of the matter this time.

 

“It's been a hectic couple of weeks, hasn't it, Sousuke?” she remarked as they headed down the hall.

 

“Indeed it has, Kaname,” as they stopped at the door to the girls' room, Sousuke gave her one of those almost-smiles she loved, and added, “It's ending on an extremely positive note, though.”

 

Kaname smiled at him before slipping through the door. Maybe Sousuke's skills in human relations weren't as bad as she thought.
