THE UNUSUAL PLACE
A Fruits Basket Fanfic
Written by Miyu, Vampire Princess
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
At the request of Mona-chan, this is a Haru/Rin first time one-shot. This may
even explain why Akito was so angry with them. =P Lemon.
It was dark. That was for sure. The hallway was long and quiet. Eerily quiet. Even their bare feet made little noise against the wooden floor.
Rin wondered just where Haru was leading her. They had been walking out in the woods, then chatting by the pool. It was on a whim that Haru asked if she wanted to play a game inside. He gave her no details, other than it only needed two people and a relatively dark room. Rin thought she was too old for playing hide and seek, but she allowed the young man to pull her along from the courtyard and into the main house.
"Haru, where are we--?"
He turned, placing a finger across her lips. She closed her eyes and sighed as he answered quietly, "We're almost there."
Rin tried to focus on her surroundings. This was not a part of the main house she'd seen often. Only once, maybe twice before. She had been with her parents that first time. She had followed them down a long, narrow hallway, barely lit with dimming candles. There had only been two doorways in this hall. The first was to the business office that only a select few older Sohma ever saw. The second...the second was HIS door.
There were no dimming candles. Just a small tiny nightlight outside the first door that let Rin know exactly where she was and where Haru was leading her. She paused once, causing Haru to pause with her. The young man looked back at her, smiling serenely.
"He's out for the day. It's safe."
She didn't really believe him, but she allowed him to continue to pull her down the heavily shadowed hallway. She didn't know they'd reached their destination until a door opened, squealing lightly as it shifted. There was a little more light in this room, an open window and several bunches of candles. She paused in the doorway as Haru walked into the room. After a heavy intake of breath she followed.
She was standing in HIS room.
Akito's room.
"Haru...are you sure this is okay?"
The young man turned to her, shaking his head. "Iie."
Rin's eyes bulged and she had a great inclination to run back out the door. "Then why are we HERE?" Haru placed a finger over his lips and she covered her mouth with both of her own. Looking around and finding nothing she repeated in a quieter tone. "Why are we here?"
"It was your idea."
"It most certainly was NOT."
"You said you wanted to be in an unusual place."
"I did NOT suggest THIS."
"Yes, you did."
"No I did not."
"Did too."
"Did not!"
"Rin--!"
"Haru--!"
Rin's argument was halted by a kiss. Haru's lips caressed hers gently, suckling lightly on her bottom lip before pulling away slightly. His eyes opened slowly, his hands rubbing reassuringly up and down her upper arms. He watched as her eyes snapped open. The anger was still there, but it had dulled slightly.
"You're serious about this."
"Very."
Rin looked around, stepping further into the room. She felt Haru's arms wrap around her from behind and she stopped. They were in the center of the room. She looked at the floor, at the very place where she'd sat when she was with her parents. She shivered in voluntarily, remembering what had been discussed during their meeting.
When it was decided she'd stay at the main house. Away from her parents.
The bastards.
"Rin?" Haru's voice was concerned, and he hugged her tighter.
She sighed, turning in Haru's embrace. Raising her right hand, she caressed his left cheek with her fingertips. He closed his eyes, allowing her fingers to explore his features, as if memorizing them.
"I don't like this room," she admitted quietly.
"Gomen," Haru replied, tilting his head slightly so his lips could brush against her palm as it lifted.
"I have bad memories in this room." That had been her second visit, after she had gotten into a fight at her new school. Akito had scolded her. Harshly. So harshly that Kagura had to help her home.
Haru looked at Rin questioningly. He didn't know about either instance in this room. He only wondered where this was going. He was willing to listen if that's what she needed. He'd do anything for her.
"Rin--?"
She offered him a sad smile. "Make me forget. I want to forget all the bad things that have happened to me in this room."
He smiled in return, wrapping his arms around her waist; he leaned in to kiss her again. "You'll never feel bad in this room ever again."
A sigh. "Haru...."
He silenced her with another kiss, this one all that the first should've been. Full of want, need and most importantly, love. There was lust too. He couldn't forget that, oh no. The large bulge in his pants certainly wouldn't let him forget.
He'll never forget the first time he saw her. Standing in the courtyard by one of the large oak trees, wearing a pair of denim shorts and a printed tank top. She was talking to Kagura. What they were saying he couldn't tell. He didn't care.
She was beautiful.
Not cute, or even sexy. Simply beautiful.
He knew then, in not to so many words or emotions, that he had to have her. And not just once. She had to be his. Period. Forever.
Rin moaned into his mouth, her hands clutching his upper arms. The kiss was just intense! As she allowed it to lull her remaining hurt and anger, she began massaging his arms, first from his shoulder to his elbow, then stroking him from his shoulder to his hands, which rested on her hips. They gripped her tightly and pulled her closer. She could feel his need resting on her stomach. Everything else forgotten, she grasped his hips in return, grinding herself into his growing erection.
Haru broke the kiss then, surprised and pleased by her reaction. But his lips didn't remain idle. Pressing feather-light kisses to her jaw, he made his way back to her ear. He'd read in one of Shigure's earlier books that sucking on a person's ear could be stimulating. He decided to give it a try, taking the bottom of her earlobe between his lips and suckling gently.
Rin's eyes had closed in pleasure, but they shot open in surprise. Not from Haru's suckling on her ear. No, that had actually felt very nice. She'd jumped, gasping when she felt one of Haru's hands slip under the back of her shirt. His hand was pressing against her bare back, his fingertips scorching her skin. She pressed herself into him unconsciously trying to escape his burning fingers. His lips pulled harder on her ear in response.
"Mmm," she moaned, closing her eyes as his lips trailed down her throat. Smiling, he latched onto the spot that caused her to moan, eliciting not one, but three louder moans from her.
Haru smiled between kisses, slowly inching his fingers up her back. They stopped only when they reached the clasp of her bra. He deepened the kiss on purpose, his tongue plunging into her mouth. It took some coaxing but her tongue eventually dueled with his. Now that she was distracted, he very slowly, very carefully, undid the clasp of her bra. She moaned unknowingly, grasping the edge of his shirt at his sides in her hands and held it tightly.
Rin stiffened when she felt Haru's thumbs brush against her bare breasts. Bare? When did he loosen her bra? How? She whimpered into their kiss, withdrawing her tongue from his mouth and slowly ending the kiss. While his touch felt like fire and the sensations overwhelmingly wonderful, she wondered if they were moving too fast. It felt good but...but, was it right?
Haru pulled back when she did and they stared at each other, but that didn't stop his hand from cupping her breast under her shirt. He squeezed lightly, looking at her questioningly. If she wanted him to stop, he would. But she had to tell him. If she didn't tell him, he'd keep going. It was a silent rule.
Sighing, Rin arched her back, pushing her breast into his hand. If they were moving too fast, she didn't care. She trusted Haru with her life, her heart. He'd stop if she asked. And right now, she couldn't find her voice to tell him how much she enjoyed the feel of his palm against her hardened nipple, let alone tell him to stop.
Fisting the material of his shirt in her hands, she pulled him closer. His arousal was clearly evident again. Her eyes closed partially and she moaned at the contact. Haru did the same thing, leaning his head forward. She leaned in the last few inches, closing the distance for yet another kiss.
But Haru's lips didn't connect with her lips until after her shirt had been lifted over her head. Her bra fell to the ground as she lowered her arms. She gasped in surprise; frozen by the dark look Haru was now giving her bare torso.
And his one hand was still cupping her breast.
"You look surprised."
"I guess...I am."
Haru smiled. "May I continue?"
Rin snickered in return. "I'll clobber you if you stop again."
He squeezed her breast as he leaned forward; his lips trailed light, pecking kisses along her jaw to her ear again. "It might be necessary."
"I'll be the one to decide that," Rin replied, placing her own open-mouthed kiss on the joint of his neck and shoulder. She smiled when he moaned. "You're next."
Haru was confused. "Next?"
And sure enough he felt her knuckles against his sides. The material of his shirt was lifted a few inches. She would pause, placing a kiss against his neck, then move the shirt up higher. Her kisses moved higher too, until their lips were locked and his shirt was caught under his armpits. She broke the kiss to give him the evil eye. He only smiled and allowed her to pull his shirt off the rest of the way.
He watched as her fingers caressed his chest. Her eyes were intense pools of concentration as she tried to memorize every bump, every smooth crevice, every...thing! He gasped when her nails scraped over his hardened nipples and moaned as she leaned forward and tasted them with her tongue. It was difficult to see in the darkness of the room, and her hair covered her from his view. But the softness of the dark strands against his skin was tantalizing.
One breast swung into him and his hand reached out to catch it. He scraped a nail over her nipple and she bit him in response. He winced, but didn't complain. The turgid nubbin throbbed painfully in time to his aching penis.
She smiled as he moaned, pressing his hips into her. She thrust her hips at him in return, turning her attention to his other nipple. She licked it, suckled it, then bit it lightly. He moaned again, grasping her head tightly in his hands. With a final lick, she trailed a ling of kisses up his chest to his shoulder. She continued to kiss him on the neck, the chin, and finally the lips. But it was brief and she pulled away with a smile. Haru was smiling too.
"Nani?" she asked him.
He shook his head. "You're next," he replied, smiling wickedly.
Eyes wide, Rin watched in fascinated awe as Haru wrapped his arms around her waist. As if in slow motion, his head lowered to her left breast. His lips placed kisses to the swell of her breasts, around the nipple and on the underside. Everywhere but where she really wanted him. She pushed herself closer, arching her back. But he ignored her silent plea, turning his attention to her right breast and repeating his previous actions.
"Ha...ru...!"
He gave in, taking the nipple of the right breast into his mouth. He held it between his lips as he licked it. Then, gently at first, he began to suckle her. He used one hand behind her to hold her close. The other snaked around, molding itself to her left breast. He smiled around her nipple as she nearly cried out in pleasure.
Distracted by this new sensation of warm heat on soft, sensitive nipples, Rin didn't feel the hand on her back making its way to her waist. She didn't feel his fingers working on the zipper of her miniskirt. His fingers still burned her skin, but she was too hot to really notice. Just as she didn't notice her skirt as it fell to her ankles until it was too late to stop it. With a small shrug, she kicked it aside. Her sandals too.
Haru grunted, his fingers edging into the waistband of her panties. He switched his attentions to her left breast, both of his hands gliding under the cotton of her underwear to cup her ass. Her fingers threaded through his hair, wanting to pull him away and hold him there. He kneaded her buttocks, grinding his hips against hers erotically. They both moaned, over and over at each instance of contact. Finally Rin lifted a leg and draped it over his hip. When he pressed against her again, he hit her center and sent her world shattering around her.
Rin blinked rapidly, her arms wrapping around Haru's shoulders and holding on for dear life. What the hell was THAT? A wave of warmth invaded her body, her senses. Bright light blinded her momentarily. When it was over, her body felt heavy. If Haru hadn't been hugging her tightly, she was certain she would've fallen.
She looked at Haru's smile, but couldn't bring herself to be upset or angry. When she didn't say anything he leaned forward and placed a light kiss to her lips. It was sweet and gentle. It also sparked something in her body. Lethargy gone, she was once again filled with lust.
With love.
"You okay?"
She smiled at him. "Never better."
"That's just the beginning."
"The...beginning--?" But before her question could be stated his lips seized hers again, tasting and teasing them mercilessly.
They held each other tightly as Haru tried to get his bearings in the room. How far from the bed were they? Which way was it? He got lost so easily in the city. Could he find the bed in the room?! He pulled with him for a few steps. Then pushed her a few in another direction. From this, Rin gathered what he was thinking. She shook her head slightly.
"No...Haru...not the bed."
He paused in his kisses just long enough to ask, "But you should be comfortable."
"By...the window," she muttered between hurried pecks. "Pillows."
"Ah." Haru carefully lead her a few steps. Then stopped. He broke the kiss, much to Rin's disappointment, but only long enough to pick her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist, his hands steadying her under her butt. They resumed the kiss, entwined until they reached the window.
Haru leaned against the wall as Rin released her hold on him with her legs. She slid down his body to the floor, her hip and fingers lightly caressing over the brick in his pants as she lowered herself to the pillows. Grasping both of his hands in hers, she pulled him down to her. He went most willingly.
This is where the best light was, and Haru reveled in it. He could see her body clearly now -- her creamy skin, the flare of her hip, the swell of her breasts -- and it looked just as good as it had tasted. She was still beautiful. Something fluttered in the pit of his stomach, like a butterfly. He paused as he leaned in to kiss her again, for the first time uncertain.
If Rin noticed she said nothing. She was too busy with her own uncertain thoughts. This had sounded like a good idea a while ago. Hell, it felt like one. But now, on the verge of being so close...was it really?
"Are you sure about this, Rin?"
"You're asking me NOW?"
"Just want to be sure."
"Are you sure?" she asked seriously.
"Are you?" he asked, just as serious.
Rin sighed, frustrated. "Dammit Haru, just do it."
He frowned, thinking. "It's going to hurt."
Rin's eyes widened. "Honto ni?"
He nodded, his fingers caressing her stomach. "Hai."
Rin closed her eyes. "..."
His fingers sneaked under her panties once again. "Rin?"
Her eyes re-opened surprised and curious. "What?"
Haru leaned over and kissed her on the shoulder. "I want you."
Rin smiled, arching as he inserted a finger into her wet pussy. "That's obvious."
He nuzzled her shoulder, moving his finger oh so slowly. "I don't want to hurt you."
She bucked into his hand as a second finger entered her and they both fucked her slowly. "Is that...what this is all...a-about?"
"Not all," Haru replied, placing another wet kiss to her shoulder, moving his fingers just a tad faster. "But in part."
Rin moaned as his fingers stretched her, bumping across sensitive nerves. She had to bite her bottom lip to keep from screaming. "Ooooh."
Haru smiled as he kissed her shoulder one last time, removing his fingers from her center. "May I continue, Rin?"
She frowned, whimpering at the loss of his fingers. "You damn well better!"
He smiled, pulling away. With eyes locked, he undid the button of his pants, followed by the zipper. Fortune did not smile upon him as he had chosen to wear underwear that day. He divested himself of the hindering cloth. His length jutted outward proudly, reaching for Rin before he really had the chance. When he returned to her, she had already removed her underwear. He was slightly disappointed he did not have the pleasure, but he was more than pleased with what he saw.
Rin lifted her arms, inviting him. She was beyond nervous, her stomach quivering in anticipation. Her whole body shuddered as he settled against her, his heated cock pressed firmly to the inside of her thigh. It was Haru's kiss that made her forget the world as it was, made her forget where she was, who she was, and the tiny jolt of pain as he pressed inside of her.
Haru moaned appreciatively as he lay encased by her moist womanhood. He remained still to allow her to adjust, despite the pressure in his body to simply take what it needed. When she moaned, arching against him, he began moving to his body's requests, pumping his length in and out of her center as hard and as fast as he could.
Gasping for air, Rin arched into Haru's thrusts. The tension in her body felt like it was going to snap any second. Her stomach, warm and fuzzy, quivered. Like lava, she felt heat spreading through her body. One thrust his a core of nerves so sensitive she screamed. With some concentration the spot was hit again and again. Finally the heat flared, her nerves snapped, and she found herself blinded by the white-hot light again.
"Ha...Haru!"
The clenching of her vaginal muscles, the sound of his name on her lips, the feel of her body writhing beneath him. They all caused his own orgasm to slam into him. The wave was unforgiving. His eyes rolled back into his head, his body shaking as he spilled his seed into her. He was barely conscious of falling on top of her. Barely conscious of her hands absently stroking his white and black hair. Barely conscious enough to remember where he was.
Where he was!
Shit!
He sat up quickly, looking down at Rin. She smiled sleepily at him. He couldn't help but smile back.
"That was...was...unusual," Rin replied, unsure of herself.
"It's an unusual place," he replied, placing a light kiss to her lips. "But we can't stay. We have to leave."
Rin yawned, her eyes drooping. "But...I'm tired."
Haru nodded. "Just help me get you dressed."
The search for his shirt took longer than searching for Rin's clothing. He gathered the articles and dressed her as quickly as he could. She was little help, tired and giggly. Definitely not herself.
When they were finally dressed, he lifted her in his arms.
"Haru?"
"Hmm?"
"I...I love you."
He smiled, carrying her to the door. He glanced back into the room, making sure that nothing was amiss. He even re-arranged the pillows so that Akito wouldn't be any wiser. He looked down at her and he stepped into the hallway, a smile plastered to his lips.
"I love you too, Rin."
