Chapter Nineteen: Puppy Crush:

I waited all night.
By midnight I was on fire.
In the dawn, hoping
To find a dream of you,
I laid my weary head
On my folded arms,
But the songs of the waking
Birds tormented me.

--“XXXVIII” from The Love Poems of Marichiko by Kenneth Rexroth 1978

By the rainy sunrise, the couple awoke in each other’s arms.

“Morning Asato-kun,” Anna whispered. Tsuzuki gave her a little smile.

“Hey,” he whispered back. The Shinigami kissed her on the cheek. Anna giggled. She sat up on her lover.

“I’m going to take a shower,” the woman said. Tsuzuki nodded.

“Fine,” he replied. His love gave him a little smile. Then, she crawled out of the futon, put on her shirt, and went into bathroom. Tsuzuki watched her the whole time. He lied back as he heard the footsteps walked into the bathroom. Tsuzuki took a moment to get lost in his head as he stared at the ceiling.

It feels great to have told her about my past. I’m amazed of how she took it. Now that I think of it, Anna’s only the second person who knows my past.

Tsuzuki remembered how Hisoka saw everything. He was amazed at how well he took it also. Tatsumi pieced it all together on his own. Heck, those close to him had some idea about his past. Even Muraki knew about his past…

Tsuzuki shuddered at that last thought. He pushed his mind to think of something else. His eyes wandered over to the walls. He noticed her timeline again. Each picture was like a scene from a movie. They all looked so inviting. Anna had a good childhood before that night in ’99. Yet, the pictures went from birth to before she came to Japan. Too bad she didn’t have any pictures after that.

Maybe I should ask to get some pictures of us.

It was like a museum, really. A museum of Anna’s life. He felt like he was learning more about his girlfriend just by looking at the pictures. Only thing missing was the details. Those were coming piece by piece. Tsuzuki was breaking her down with love. He could still see the hesitation in her eyes. But, the Shinigami knew that he could kiss it away. Not right away, though. Scars take time to heal. He knew that all too well. The Shinigami has his scars to battle with each day. They hurt just thinking about it.

Tsuzuki tightly shut his eyes. He tried to chase away the pain with something else. Anna floated into his mind. Warmth filled his body again. He could almost smell her hair again. It always had this clean scent to it. Like as if she had just washed it. Her hair, along with the rest of her body, pleaded with him to play with it. Tsuzuki just loved the way his fingers caressed along her bare, creamy pale, soft, delicate skin. Hearing her sweet screaming and moaning out for him. Grabbing onto her plump breasts. Kissing her sweet mouth. Licking on her tasty flesh. Penetrating her wet and waiting…

“Asato-kun,” that sweet voice grounded him to earth. The Shinigami opened his eyes and saw his object of affection standing before him. Anna was only dressed in a towel. She seemed to be in a cheerful mood this morning.

“Fantasizing about me?” she joked. Tsuzuki’s cheeks went hot.

“WHAT?!?” he yelled. Anna giggled.

“Oh come on!” she said. “It’s all over your face! Plus, you’re really excited to see me right now.”

“Huh?” Tsuzuki asked as he looked down at his lap. Major boner alert! The Shinigami crossed his legs quickly as the red in his face deepened. Anna chuckled at him.

“Don’t see why you’re embarrassed for,” she said. “It happens sometimes. Besides, I’ve seen it before, remember?” Tsuzuki nodded at her question.

“Oh yeah,” he said. The Shinigami relaxed a bit and uncrossed his legs. However, he hid under the sheets. They waited for the mood to settle down.

“So,” Anna said. “What are we doing today?” Tsuzuki smiled at her.

“Nothing,” he said. His beloved raised an eyebrow at him.

“Nothing?” she asked. Tsuzuki smiled as he nodded at her. Anna looked a bit at him.

“Nothing,” he said. His beloved raised an eyebrow at him.

“How?” she asked. Her lover leaned forward.

“Come here and I’ll show you,” he offered. His love smiled at that offer. She slid off her towel and crawled into the futon with her boyfriend. He took her into arms and kissed her.

“Now, just lie there and relax,” Tsuzuki whispered. Anna smiled and kissed him.

“Okay,” she said back. “Show me.” Tsuzuki only moved on top and kissed her again. Anna happily kissed him back. She didn’t even try to resist him digging deep into her soul this time.
