Chapter Text

It was late into the night, and the rain was picking up. Noa and Asuma were in the bar drinking away, it was all Noa's idea. Asuma was a little slumped over, he'd already gone over his limit, and he wasn't the kind of person to drink. Noa however, was in a family that sold alcoholic beverages, making her more of a heavy weight despite her small stature. However, despite this, she wouldn't be completely immune to the amount she was drinking. 

"What's wrong Asuma?? Did you drink too much?" Noa teased Asuma, she had a big grin on her face. "You're a big strong man, and you're letting a young lady out drink you." 

Asuma didn't feel like drinking anymore, he lost count. All he knows is the Noa egged him onto this. "I don't even drink like you do Noa, you know this."

She giggled, "You're no fun Asuma! Hehe..." she was all bubbly, in a drunken joy kind of way. 

"hic... Whatever, it's gotten pretty late. We need to get out of here." Asuma got off the bar stool, leaving the money on the counter, and left for the exit.

"H-Hey! Wait up!!" Noa went after him. When they got to the door, they noticed it was pouring down. 

"Jeez, I didn't even hear the rain coming down. I guess we're walking again."  Asuma looked up at the dark night sky, as water came crashing down. 

Noa went over to her bike, "We can still make it back, I'm not that drunk." 

Asuma grabbed her shoulder, "The fact that you think that makes me doubt that, not in this weather." Asuma opened his umbrella, "I'm glad I at least saw the forecast this morning. C'mon, there's a hotel down the street. Bring your bike." 

"A hotel?? Are you sure?" She tried to keep pace with him.

"It's just for the night, we'll leave in the morning." 

"Pffft, alright Asuma! You better not try anything with me!" She smirked at him

"W- What's that supposed to mean?!" 

Noa laughed out loud, she still was under the influence of drinking, and couldn't stop teasing Asuma. Asuma himself just ignored it for now, and they eventually arrived at the hotel. The lobby was mostly empty with the receptionist sitting at the front desk, Asuma made his way over to the receptionist. 

"I'd like a ticke- I mean I'd like to get a room. Just for the night." He did his best to maintain his composure in front of someone actually sober.  

The receptionist looked at a big white boxy monitor on her desk for a moment. "Room 201." 

"Thanks..." Asuma said. 

They made their way to the room, it wasn't too big, there was a table in the middle which functioned as a kotatsu. There was a TV on the wall, with windows on the wall perpendicular to the first. There was also another room, which seemingly was a bathroom. On the other wall, there was a sliding partition door that lead to a bedroom, though there was an optional futon placed on the dressers. 

Asuma went to sit down, he still was feeling the buzz of drinking. "I wish you never talked to me into this, you know, I didn't want to pay for a hotel room on top of drinks, and I didn't exactly want to drink in the first place." 

Noa skipped through the room, "Hehe... You afraid to drink Asuma? Afraid to say or do something you'd regret?? It's not like you don't do that already!" She danced around.

"Shut up you idiot..." He bowed his head.

"Make me." She was smirking, Asuma didn't exactly know what to do from there. "You're my back up and command me in the labor, this can't be any different Asuma!" Asuma stood up, and walked over to Noa, she paused for a moment.

He crossed his arms, attempting to seem more in control of the situation. "You're not gonna push me around, especially when I'm drunk. You take orders from me."

Noa's grin widened, Asuma's attempt at commanding her came off as humorous. "Is that all you got?! You're bad at this Asuma!!" Noa couldn't stop herself from laughing.

"Do you want to be ordered around!?" 

"I'm not stopping you, but you'd be too much of a coward to do it anyway." She was brushing him off, though seemingly in an attempt to poke fun at him again. 

Asuma had something to prove, the following words just came out of his mouth "Fine then, I guess you wouldn't mind if I told you to do it with me then." He didn't know why he said it, and he didn't know why he said that specifically. Noa's teasing and the boldness given from Asuma's drunken state gave way to a statement he could not take back. 

"W- You mean...?" Even Noa was puzzled at this, Asuma quickly turned his head leaning back. 

"Never mind, forget I said anything." He was slightly embarrassed,

Noa slowly grinned again, "You're not helping your case here!"

"It was a spur of the moment thing. Forget it." He quickly replied.

 "Asuma the coward! Too afraid to ask a girl to do it with him, so he has to wait till she's drunk!" She went right back to teasing him. 

"It's not like that at all! Quit it!" Asuma was slowly losing his pride.

"You backing out now, Asuma??" 

Asuma had enough, he didn't want to get teased anymore. His pride was on the line, and then more words flew out of his mouth. "You know what? No, I'm not backing out, we'll do it right now." 

"You're just saying that... I know you Asuma!! Joke all you wan-"

"I'm serious Noa, if you're backing out then we don't have to. I'll just go ahead and take my bath." Asuma got up heading for the bathroom. Noa soon realized Asuma had the leg up on her, to her it was either do or die. 

"I'm not a coward, Asuma! I'll do it with you just to prove that if I need to." Noa stood firm, assuring herself that this was what she wanted. Asuma paused at her response, he was betting on Noa backing out subconsciously. At that moment they stood there for a moment, the room went quiet. They had to do it now, if either one of them backed out they'd be seen as a "coward". There lied the question, how would they continue from here.

Noa then broke the silence, "Well, Asuma?"

Asuma replied, "Well what?!" 

"Do something, it's the guy who makes the first move right?" 

"I don't know what to do, I've never done it before!" 

Noa turned and shrugged, "Yeah, I can tell, Asuma."

Asuma got frustrated again, "It's not like you've done it before either! Who gives you the right to chastise me?" Asuma got up and walked towards Noa, "Last chance, we can stop now and not go through with this." 

Noa was a little unnerved about Asuma's approach, but she stood her ground. "You're just saying that to get me to quit, or maybe you want to quit yourself... I'm not budging-!" 

"Fine then, how do we start." Asuma asked.

"How am I supposed to know? You're the one taking charge here!! ...my neck..."

"What-"

"My neck! The side of my neck..." 

"Do you want me to...?" 

Noa sat down and took off her shirt, with Asuma instinctively look away. 

"It's fine, you can look, this was your idea after all..." Noa said solemnly. Asuma went over behind her, it became more clear to him what she was referring to. As he saw Noa wearing just a bra, he knew it was too far to go back now. She was in a very vulnerable state, her skin seemed smooth and he got a good look at her slender figure. She was facing away from him, he couldn't blame her, he couldn't have made eye contact either. He raised his hands up, but he didn't exactly know what to do with them, they just hovered aimlessly over Noa's body. 

"I'm going to do it now, tell me when to stop." Asuma said.

"Alright." Replied Noa. 

Soon enough, Asuma mustered up the courage to finally feel her. Noa flinched as she felt Asuma's hands snake through her body, with his hands then meeting each other, completing the link for a warm embrace. Asuma's arms were warm, and he could feel Noa's heart beat faster by the minute. Then it happened, he bit down on her neck, trying not to bite too hard so she didn't get hurt. Noa began twitching, she was gritting her teeth, she was gaining some kind of stimulation from it. Asuma kept on going, with Noa making incomprehensible noises out of pleasure. 

"A-Asuma..." She could barely even say his name. Asuma kept going, he began to figure her out, learning which movements of his mouth on her skin would give her the most pleasure. The way she twitched, how much she moaned, and how she slowly swayed back and forth made it as if he was deciphering the language of her body. 

Soon enough, he stopped. Pulling back revealing a mark on the lower part of her neck, he had marked her. Noa's breathing was a little fast, but she enjoyed it. After this experience, there was only one thing left to do, this was only the preparation for what was to come. 

"Asuma... I'm ready..." Noa said unprompted. 

"Ready...?"

Noa had slowly removed the rest of her clothing, Asuma couldn't take her eyes off of her, he could see it all. The way her skin ran down her chest from her abdomen all the way down to her legs, the way the sides of her body ran down parallel to each other, parting at the waist, and continuing down her thighs completing her small feminine form. She exposed herself to him, this was her in the most vulnerable state, and she was inviting him. Asuma went over, it was his turn, albeit, just his pants. Though Noa herself removed his shirt, she had needs as well. 

Noa and Asuma's relationship went through barriers signifying how close they were, the first barrier being that of which they became partners, working together and having each other's back. The second was the barrier of trust, they were able to trust each other deeply, more than anyone at SV-2, they could even say they loved each other. And finally, the third barrier was about to break. Figuratively, and literally. Asuma had done it, he had deflowered Noa. She fought through the initial pain, but she urged him to keep going. At last they were one, there was nothing in between them, they could feel each other. Their emotions, auras, and bodies were in sync. 

Asuma moved at a steady pace, not letting his urges get the best of him. He could ravage her right then and there, but he dare not take all the pleasure for himself. It was a similar experience to what they were doing before, only this time it was far more stimulating for the both of them. Noa was lost in her thoughts, she was still drunk, but that along with the act of what they were doing shot off several thoughts that rushed through her head. She was finally doing it, doing it with a man who was the heir to a billion dollar company, with a man who stood by her side even in times of crisis, a man who she could reveal all her vulnerabilities to. A man who was Asuma Shinohara. 

"Asuma... I love you Asuma..."

They kept going, increasing the tempo at which they moved, it felt like it lasted forever yet not long enough. Noa soon felt it, the rush of ecstasy wash down her body, she couldn't stop twitching, her legs stretching in opposite directions, she was gripping the surface under her. Soon after Asuma quickly came to his senses after being entranced by the experience, pulling away as quickly as he could, that was going to be for another time.

They were both breathing heavily, they actually did it, and it was wonderful. They sat there for a moment, locked into each other's gaze. They didn't know how long it's been since they got to the hotel, nor do they know how long they've been in the act. All they know is that it happened. Asuma soon broke the stillness of the room, re-fitting his pants and putting his shirt back on. He went to go take that bath he mentioned, Noa soon came to her senses as well. She just sat there, thinking about what happened. She didn't think it'd happen this soon in her life, and she didn't think it happen before she even got married. 

Asuma soon returned from the bath, "Your turn." he said. 

As Noa went to go take her bath, Asuma went over and checked the time. It was past midnight, it had been hours since they had first arrived. The rain seemed to let up a bit so that was good news. He went over to get himself some water so he wouldn't have a terrible hangover in the morning. Noa would then return from the bath shortly, with Asuma getting ready for bed. "Hey, Asuma...?"

"Yeah?"

"I really liked it... What we did."

"...I liked it too." 

"Do you maybe want to sleep together?" 

"...Sure, I'd like that."

Chapter Text

It was the evening time, the sun was slowly dipping into the horizon making the atmosphere glow an orange red hue. Asuma had used his position to secure a private location for him and Noa to spend time together. It was strange to Noa, Asuma being in such a position to do things like this. She wasn't alone on this thought either, Asuma never imagined himself having an entire residence to himself, let alone with a woman. The actual place wasn't too far from the reclaimed land, and had a nice view of the bay area. Noa found herself pondering how much things were changing as she marveled from the bedroom window of the bay area, being hugged by the urban environment in a nice crescent shape. 

Asuma approached her, looking alongside her. "Hard to believe, I know." 

"We've been through a lot haven't we?"

"Yeah."

"I'm still having a hard time processing everything that has led up to this." 

"...I know the feeling. I should probably be thankful my Dad was so uptight with me, I never would have been able to meet you." 

"You're always trying to flatter me aren't you?" She joked 

"Ah well..." As he stuttered, Noa grabbed him by the tie and gave him a kiss, surprising him. Asuma was caught off guard but melted a little when her soft lips met his, he was madly in love with her. He had only felt affection before with a girl he had known in high school, but this time? This wasn't just affection, this was love, love much stronger for her than anyone else he had met in his life. The thought had come across his mind, this was the ideal location, the ideal moment for something much more. 

The two stared deeply into each other's eyes, they both knew what they wanted and knew one of them would have to say it. Asuma's arms reached toward Noa's hips, almost bringing her into a loving embrace. She got closer to him, leaning in as Asuma went past her head and whispered into her ear. He made his desire clear.

"I want you."

She knew he wanted it, and she knew she wanted it too. His breath had caressed her ear, the words sending her thoughts wild and her mind into a frenzy. The last time they've been intimate with each other was when they were both drunk, this time they were sober, this wasn't a repressed desire brought out by alcohol, this was an admission coming from a place of certainty. "I want you too." 

They undressed themselves, though as Noa removed her top Asuma was immediately on the attack. Her sensitive spot at the base of her neck, stimulating her immensely. She felt his teeth push down on her soft skin, clinging to her in a desperate ravenous manner as if she was his prey. Asuma had removed his shirt and Noa's top, with her bra barely hanging on to her shoulders. He enjoyed making her feel good like this, and enjoyed the idea of her letting him take the lead, doing whatever he pleased with her. Back then he was nervous, almost afraid of his first time. Although now, he knew what he wanted, to pleasure Noa, to feel close with her. It wouldn't be long before she could feel him too, she embraced Asuma as she felt him, all of him, inside of her. They had felt like one. 

Noa felt his heartbeat as his skin made contact with hers, the rhythmic thumping that circulated the warm blood through his body, and vicariously through her. This was that moment of the two being at their closest, most intimate two people could be with each other. Their feelings for each other further elevated the act of intercourse, reassuring their love for each other. 

Asuma himself was always into labor production and their creation, it brought him great satisfaction to understand the ins and outs of a labor. To see what makes them work the way they do. This was no different from him in coitus, he couldn't help but figure out the best position, the best rhythm, the best course of action to pleasure Noa's small, slender, naked body. 

Noa found herself almost in a trance, she could barely form a coherent thought as Asuma made her his. Each note in the song of fornication scrubbed out any and all thoughts in her mind, like a ringing of the bell of pleasure and ecstasy that nullified her memory before the last. Though despite this, there were things that she knew she felt. Love, love for the man she's committing this act with. Pleasure, from the simple act of love making with someone you love. Heat, she felt hot, her heart was beating along with his. Hot blood was flowing through the both of them, emphasized by a burning passion. 

Asuma noticed Noa's face, such an unbecoming face for a policewoman, for an innocent girl like Noa to be making such a lewd and sexual face. He couldn't help but kiss her soft and wet lips, only making the two of them hotter as Asuma grew more and more accustomed to Noa's body. Noa's embrace became tighter, she was put on her back as her legs wrapped around him. This was primal, the urge to have sex, to be close with someone, to understand how someone feels not through words but through action.  

Soon enough Noa would feel something inside of her, filling her. 

Asuma felt as if he got carried away, the feeling that they probably should have done this slowly crept up on his mind, "N-Noa I..."

"It's fine..." She responded softly, breathing heavily, "I guess that means we don't have to worry about stopping now...!" 

Asuma was weary about what Noa just said, "You wanna go again...?" 

"-I can! Unless you want to stop now...?" 

"I can keep going, don't worry..."

And so, they began again, Noa clinging to the bed sheets as she felt Asuma inside of her. Asuma assumed he wouldn't make it this far, though the stamina from working out in the morning every other day allowed him to continue for far longer. The two of them started to sweat almost profusely, Noa started to realize Asuma was almost rugged and well built for a man. The light reflecting from the sweat on his body emphasized his muscles, which were all working together contorting and contracting to please her, she liked that. 

Asuma thought to himself again, should they be doing something like this? What he had just done could have huge ramifications for he and Noa, especially her. It started to feel wrong, forbidden, as if you were doing something your own parents strictly advised you against. What came from fear, started to become excitement. They weren't supposed to be doing this, it almost felt scandalous. In a few months time everyone at the station would know that the two engaged in intercourse, what they did together all alone, on what would normally be a simple afternoon, would be no more of a secret than their relationship.

Asuma finished in her again, rolling over and panting. "I think that's as far as I can go Noa..."

She too was trying to catch her breath, "It's alright Asuma, you've done enough for now..." Then out of nowhere, she hopped on top of him. "It's my turn now!" 

"Hu-Wha...?" 

Noa began moving her hips in a circular motion, this time she wanted to pleasure Asuma and return the favor. All the while she had a big grin on her face, different from the face she was making just moments ago. He felt her gripping him tightly, she started slowly and sensually, as she believed most guys would like it. 

"Since when did you want to have sex like this?" 

"It's a lot of fun! I especially like seeing the look on your face when I do this!" She leaned in, moving her hips in opposite directions. "Well Asuma? How does it feel?" 

For her second time, she learned quickly on technique. Noa and Asuma were able to learn a lot from each other, Noa being able to assess situations and adapt to them if needed. Noa took the lead, pleasuring him the best she could. Asuma himself could barely keep a straight face, it felt different when it was a woman on top. Different areas were being reached, experiencing intercourse in new ways to the both of them. While Noa intended to service Asuma she found herself getting carried away, moving faster, almost desperately. She gripped onto him tightly, wanting to feel more of him in deeper parts of her, she wanted him, all of him. This was almost absurdly out of character for her, to Asuma she never seemed the type to have too much interest in a sexual relationship. In this moment, he could feel years of pent up energy of a girl moving in such a desperate and erotic way. He was unaware of this, and so was Noa, this side of her was completely foreign to the both of them. 

"Noa... You probably should..." Before Asuma could finish what he was saying Noa stopped moving, twitching in ecstasy after she had climaxed. "Slow... Down..." 

She fell onto Asuma, resting her head on his chest. Asuma embraced her as she seemingly tired herself out from their fun. "We should do this more often, Asuma..." 

He slowly caressed her head, "Haha... I'd like that..." He responded. 

The two would lay there, together. At that moment there was truly nothing between the two.

Their bodies, minds, and souls at last were one.

Chapter Text

Kanuka would lay in her bedroom, slowly opening her eyes and rising up from her pillow. The more she gained consciousness the more her head started to throb, she couldn't remember what had happened the night before. She could tell it was morning, as the sunlight began to bleed through her window curtains, touching down on her face. She turned slowly, feeling the bedsheets brush against her bare body, for some reason she was naked as well. She held her head in pain, but noticed that she wasn't in fact alone. 

A man's voice spoke, "Is sleeping beauty finally awake?"

Even though she was barely awake, she nearly instinctively equipped her gun and aimed it at the speaker, her vision sharpening. It was Okimoto, staring down the barrel of her trusty m1911. "What are... Why are you in my bed?!" She cringed in pain as she raised her voice at him. 

"You really shouldn't fire that thing, you'd hurt your poor head even more. And I'm sure cleaning up my own head would be even more of a headache for you." Okimoto said, turning away, and laying the back of his head down on the other pillow. "You seem to be back to your old self at least." 

Kanuka put her gun down, holding her head with her hand again. "Start. Talking." 

"Well, to catch you up in case you forgot, today is supposed to be a holiday and the whole division went out drinking. I told you to cool it with the drinks, but it turned into some kind of competition between us. You said something along the lines of 'You aren't going to outdrink me, I've already done this before.' and of course, it didn't turn out that way. I've always taken girls out to drink, so it was just business. You were in no condition to go home on your own, so I volunteered to take you myself out of the kindness of my heart." 

Kanuka glared at him "...And so you coerced a drunk police officer into sex?"

Okimoto cringed at her response, "Lets not assume things here, first off, I'm not that kind of guy. Making your way to a woman's heart is like going through a maze, it's not fun when you cheat at the game like that. Not my style. Second, you assumed almost the exact same thing last night. I told you that you weren't even in any state to fool around with a man, but I guess someone took that personally. You even insisted on the idea that you were still just as coherent as you always were. You're quite the competitive person when you're drunk you know?" 

"You didn't stop me?" 

"It's hard for me to tell pretty women no." 

"God damn it..." She massaged her temples, sighing.  

"You made beautiful music last night though, it sounded like I was on the receiving end of the sweet serenades of an angel." Okimoto held up Kanuka's gun, "Or in your case, maybe a siren." 

"Don't touch that." She snatched it away from him. "Get out of my bedroom." She pointed towards the door with her other hand while covering her chest.

"Your call Ms. Clancy!" Okimoto sprung up from the bed, he was only in his boxers. Collecting his clothes he walked through the doorway, giving her a two finger salute. She went back to holding her head in pain, wishing that she properly prepared for an intense hangover. The door would open up again, Okimoto was holding a bottle of water "Can I interest you in this one liter bottle of water, my dear?" 

"Didn't I tell you to get out?" Kanuka thought for a moment, then held out her hand. Okimoto tossed her the bottle of water, and promptly left again. It was a very tall bottle, most definitely something one would use when on the go. She opened up the cap and began drinking large quantities at a time to soothe her headache. She got out of bed and slipped into her house clothes, then going over to a mirror and looking at herself in frustration. "...You idiot, how could you let something like this happen. This wasn't like me at all...!"  

Her headache slowly died down, and she was somewhat able to recollect the events of last night.

She was in her room, with Okimoto laying her down. She remembered still being somewhat spiteful after he outdrank her a couple hours prior, still trying to find ways to get even. 

"...So, you just gonna leave me here? Most men would have taken their chance by now."  she said. 

"I'm surprised you'd think of me this way Ms. Clancy, unfortunately, you're in no position to tango all buzzed like that." Okimoto put his jacket on, "Remember, drink plenty of water, 'kay?" 

"Hold on,  who are you to say that? Just because you may still be sober doesn't mean you have more sense than me. As an experienced police officer, I'm able to perform my job efficiently in any state of mind and any condition. Though it's only to be expected that someone of your caliber wouldn't be able to understand this." She boasted. 

Okimoto leaned in the doorway, "Even I know that means you wouldn't have sex with anyone, even 'someone of my caliber' knows that." 

"Like I said, someone of your caliber couldn't understand." She folded her arms. "I recommend you stop assuming things that you obviously do not know."  

"So, are you asking or telling?" 

"I can have sex perfectly fine."

"Mmmm, not convinced."

"We'll do it." 

"You sure?"

"You're stalling." 

"Am I?" 

"Just get over here." 

"That an order, Ms. Clancy?" 

"...Now!" She barked. 

"If you say so, Ms. Clancy!"

The two of them undressed, getting ready for the act. This was the first time Kanuka ever exposed her body to someone, to let herself be felt in touched in ways she never has. Before they could even do anything, Okimoto leaned shirtless over her, staring into her eyes. 

"...We can stop now, Kanuka. Are you sure this is what you want?" 

"We've gone this far now, we may as well commit."

"...Aye aye, Captain." 

"...Damn..."  Her look in the mirror softened, that was as much as she could remember from last night. She made up the bed, and tidied up around the room before leaving. Okimoto was sitting on her couch, just waiting for her to leave her room.

"So, no hard feelings, right?" He asked. 

"I'd rather not dwell on it too much." She went to her sink and turned on the tap, filling up a cup full of water. She drank as much as she could, just to ease the pain left from her hangover. Thankfully, she was quickly recovering back to normal, the painful throbbing in her head completely ceased. "I just want to relax for today." 

Okimoto had his arms splayed across the top of the couch, "Of all the women, you're surely the most interesting one I've met so far." 

"Don't try and flatter me." She switched out the cups of water for a cup of coffee. 

"You want me to leave your apartment as well? I feel bad for interrupting your beauty sleep." He said jokingly.

She took a sip of coffee. "Don't try and humble yourself either, you should be lucky I decided not to kick you out myself."   

"You know... There's got to be a reason you tolerate me for so long..." 

"I said don't try and flatter me." 

"You're no fun." 

"You should learn to be quiet." 

Okimoto shrugged in silence, turning on the TV to occupy himself. 

She walked up behind the couch holding her cup of coffee, "For a grown man, you don't seem to be house broken. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to touch things without permission, my own TV for example?" 

"I guess you expect me to sit on my hands my entire time here?" 

"I wouldn't mind that at all." 

He leaned his head back over the side of the couch, looking at her with a frown. "You really are no fun." Kanuka went over and sat down next to him, finishing up her cup of coffee and setting it down on the table in front of them. "So, what's on your mind now?"

"Nothing really, but the happenings in the current world just feel quiet. Maybe I'm just more used to the more adventurous life I had in Tokyo a year back."

"I remember that, good times."

"When I shot you?"

"Good times." 

"I bet it wasn't the first time."

"And you wouldn't be wrong!" He said, laughing. "Well, if you're looking for excitement, maybe you could call up your friends in Tokyo and check up on them. Surely they've got some interesting and daring stories to tell." 

Kanuka thought about it for a second, "Maybe, it isn't like I'm free to join in; we're both already part of the police force here." 

"Hey, you never know." 

"...I wouldn't doubt it, that's for sure."

Chapter Text

Due to the circumstances of both their jobs and livelihoods, Noa and Asuma wouldn't see each other too often. Police work required an officer to be on standby for long periods of time, and Asuma's upcoming position required as much of his attention as possible. Though when the opportunity presented itself, the two would be spending time with each other. What went on in their private lives was almost no secret to those at section two, anyone could infer what a man and woman romantically interested in each other would do. While it's easy for the mind to wonder, to assume the activities they'd partake in in great detail, it was only on occasion where they'd really get down to business. 

It'd be an unassuming day on the weekend, the two would be at home lazing around after a tough week of work. Asuma himself would be enjoying a glass of alcohol, somewhat adopting Noa's casual drinking habits. He'd already drink regularly, but it wasn't something regular for him, he actually preferred not to drink too much. Though on the weekend he'd feel the need to unwind and relax, something he had inherited from sharing space with Noa. She on the other hand would be watching television, specifically a soap opera that just so happened to be airing. 

"This stuff is really cheesy isn't it Asuma?" She said, looking over the coach at Asuma. 

Asuma finished off his drink, "I wouldn't know, I'm not exactly paying attention." 

"The guy is always big and domineering, and the woman always swoons for him." After taking a look at Asuma, she noticed that he was still wearing his dress shirt and pants from work. He looked like one of the men in the very show she was watching, he even had his sleeves pulled up to his biceps. This sparked an idea. "Hey Asuma...?" She said slyly.

"What's up?" 

"Why don't you try seducing me?"

"Seduce you? Like some kind of pick up artist?"

"Like the guys in the show!"

"I mean..."

"Come on, it'll be fun! We'd just be messing around is all!" She said, waving her hand in the air. 

"...Alright." Asuma walked from the kitchen over to Noa, he stood firmly over her. From then on he had no idea what else to do, simply maintaining a neutral expression as he just stood there. His face would slowly go from neutral to confusion, with his eyebrow quivering in and out of position. Noa couldn't help but find his attempt at "seducing" her amusing, chuckling to herself as he just stood there.

"You're not very good at this are you?" She joked, 

"...Just give me a moment, I'm trying to think of the right thing to do." 

"Don't worry about it! I was just messing around anyway!" She said with a laugh. 

"No... One moment." Asuma briskly walked over back to the kitchen, pouring himself another glass and downing it immediately. He gently laid the glass down onto the counter, then wiping what was left of the drink off his face. 

"...Asuma?" Noa grew slightly concerned seeing this, Asuma was beginning to get into the mindset needed for the situation. 

"I'm ready to go a little further with this, you in?" He said, turning to her. 

"...Yeah." She said, giving him a nod. 

They would relocate into the master bedroom, Noa would be sitting on a mattress as Asuma closed the door behind them. He made his way over to her, removing only his tie and tossing it to the side. "You've been trying to hide it, but I know exactly what you've been asking for, Noa." He said, looking at her eyes intently. 

"Haha... What's that supposed to mean?" She said, feeling herself get hotter as he closed in on her. 

"You want me to 'seduce' you, right? You want me to do a lot more than that, don't you?" He said as he lifted up her chin with his index finger. 

"...And what if I did, huh? What would you do?" 

"Stay still, I'll show you." 

He began to undress her, sliding her top from over her head seamlessly. He then moved onto removing her bottom, leaving her half naked in her underwear. In a position like this, Noa felt somewhat embarrassed as she submitted to his whims as he undressed her himself, but she made no effort to stop him. No, in this very moment, this is what she desperately had wanted more than anything else. Asuma moved onto her bra, undoing it and watched as it daintily slid from her chest, revealing her bare breasts to him once more. As this happened, she only felt more embarrassed, she was probably the smallest in size out of all the girls they knew. To Asuma however, it did not matter to him at all. 

"You know, stuff like this can be addicting, you do it once and you'll want to do it all the time." Asuma's left hand had encroached down Noa's waist, across her abdomen, and into the valley between her legs. "However, I know you're all too familiar with doing this." He circled his finger around her clitoris, the outline of the movement of his index and middle finger were visible through her panties. She twitched and squirmed as she could even feel the groves in his fingers moved in many directions across her, at that moment he was in full control. "It's cute seeing you act like this..." he proceeded to slightly bite on the base of her neck, causing her to discharge. 

"Ahh~!" 

Noa couldn't help but moan as Asuma's fingers and teeth lead a full assault of pleasure on her body, taking advantage of his knowledge regarding what makes her tick. He continued to dig his fingers deep inside of her, her waist vibrating and twitching at his increasingly rough handling of her. Sometimes Asuma would slow down, giving her time to breathe; other times he'd move his fingers in quicker succession making her grit her teeth. Then he'd go back to biting her neck and leaving marks on her, marks that would clash with her fair skin. 

Asuma would finally remove his hand from her panties, "Heh, someone made a mess." he said, looking at his moistened hand. 

Her breathing was a little rapid after being touched by Asuma, "...Hah... You gonna punish me now...?" she said teasingly. 

"We're not done yet..."

Asuma began undoing his belt buckle, then proceeding to unzip his pants. The alcohol was starting to take it's effect on Asuma, making him more bold in his behavior. What he was insinuating on what he wanted to do next, was something they had never done before. It would normally be seen as something unrefined, one could even call it distasteful; yet in that moment the act wouldn't be behind them. She hesitated at first, Asuma was looking at Noa expectedly as she looked at him, all of him. She would crawl over, staring at his manhood before slowly opening her mouth, weary of committing to the act. Soon enough Asuma would hold the back of her head, with his fingers through her hair as she serviced him orally. Her mouth was moist and warm, not too dissimilar from the environment that he had been used to. She would also use her tongue to further stimulate him, moving it in as many directions as she could. Despite it being a new, foreign experience for her in regards to sex, she studied Asuma's reactions to the different ways she could pleasure his most sensitive areas. She found herself deeply interested in the way Asuma would throw his head back, grit his teeth, lay his hand on her head as it moved back and forth. His reactions had excited her, she developed a feeling of accomplishment every time she got him to moan. Asuma would then begin twitching himself, causing Noa to pull away. 

"...Damn..." Asuma said, breathing heavily. "...That was great..."

"Glad I pulled away when I did, can't imagine that stuff in my mouth..."

"I can still go for more, you?" 

"Hah, I'm still waiting for my reward for being such a good girl!" Noa said, cracking a cheeky smile. 

"Alright then." 

Asuma carefully removed Noa's panties, pulling down her legs and off her feet. He then proceeded to pin her down to the mattress, with her bare back facing toward him. He'd be inside of her, moving slowly and sensually, reaching as deep as he could as Noa quietly moaned lustfully. Her face was pressed against the sheet of the bed, her movement was restrained, forced to submit to the will of the man she was having sex with. Of course, this was no issue for her, she openly invites Asuma's acts of domination, she enjoyed sex the most when he took control. And while she also greatly enjoyed it when Asuma would display his lust for her, nothing could beat the satisfaction of mutually sharing the desire. For tonight, it was her turn. Noa would proceed to mumble something under her breath.

"What was that?" Asuma asked.

"...harder..."  Noa said quietly.

In response, Asuma would increase the pace. He was more than happy to be more rougher with her, allowing himself to let lose the primal feeling he held inside himself that could only be brought out through sex. It was like two animals in the wild, driven only by instinct, what their own nature told them to do. It would be acts such as these that'd further cement their love for each other, to freely express themselves in such an intimate way. Asuma leaned forward, gripping onto the base of Noa's neck with his teeth. She could barely form a coherent thought, the stimulation was too much, it'd only be a matter of time before it all came down to the both of them climaxing. Asuma let go of Noa's neck, his hot breath brushing past her ear as he leaned back slowly.

"Well... How was my job as a seduction...?" Asuma said, breathing heavily. 

"...You did great..." she responded. 

Chapter Text

Noa opened the door to her home exhausted after a long day at the training camp, the sun had already begun to dip below the horizon, coating the kitchen and living room in a warm orange hue. She sighed, removing her clothing as she went for the master bedroom. It would be a while before her husband would return, and while she would wait for him to return beforehand, she decided to take a nice bath to freshen up after rigorously training the cadets. She'd remove her clothes and place them in the hamper, then rinsing herself off in the shower before finally taking a dip in the bath. Noa enjoyed the warm water flowing around her smooth and fair skin, making for the proper therapeutic experience needed after a day's hard work. Afterward she'd dry herself off, clothing herself in just a yukata before making her way to the kitchen. She looked around, eventually eyeing the pantry that had it's door slightly cracked allowing one to peek inside. She went to close it fully, but with hold it open for a moment whilst she'd lay her eyes on the wine sitting near the back. She questioned if she should start drinking now, given that she'd be off work the following day. She'd continue to rationalize to herself that she could at least cut herself some slack, it wouldn't hurt to have a couple drinks after all. She got a hold of a wine glass in the cabinet, pouring herself some red wine and sipping it down. She let out a pleasurable sigh as she rested her chin in the palm of her hand, wine glass in the other. What turned into a couple turned into a few, and even being the heavyweight drinker that she was couldn't stop the influence of the wine.

Some time passed before Asuma came home, opening the front door and greeting his wife like he normally would. "Noa! I'm home!" He said,"If you haven't started cooking already, I've got a great idea for dinner tonight."

"Hehe... Welcome home Asuma..." Noa was visibly tipsy, sitting on one of the dining chairs with her legs crossed. Her yukata would be slightly undone, revealing part of her shoulder and upper chest area.

"...Ah, did you take a bath already...?"

"Haha... Yeah... I don't mind taking another one... * hic*"  He walked up to her, getting a better look at her while she simply gave him a drunken grin. "Asuma... You look really handsome tonight... You know that...?"Asuma then saw the empty glass near her on the counter.

"So, you've been drinking again huh?" He said.

She threw her arm around him as she walked her fingers up his chest, "I dunno... Why don't you taste me and find out...? Ehehehe..."

Asuma rolled his eyes, before going in to kiss Noa on the lips. She opened her mouth, inviting in his tongue to get a taste of the drinks she had previously ingested en masse. It lasted for a couple seconds before he pulled away, "Red wine." he said. "How much have you had?"

"Ohh I don't know... A little... A lot..." She rocked her head back and forth grabbing hold of him tightly."I just got so lonely waiting here all by myself, and I really need some big strong man to keep me company~"

Asuma understood his wife's implication, however he had one simple question. "...Where's Akio?" he whispered into her ear.

"The Kobayashi household for the night..."

"Well if you're looking for some to keep you company then-" He would grab her, leaning her back and pulling her legs up into a bridal carry. Noa had her arms around him giggling uncontrollably as he swiftly brought her to the master bedroom, dropping her onto the bed. She fell onto the mattress, bouncing up for a moment and laying back down. She could barely keep herself from giggling while Asuma quickly undressed himself, undoing all the buttons of his dress shirt before throwing it off. Noa's yukata would already be slipping off, ever so slightly revealing one of her breasts. Asuma went in to pull off her clothing, though she quickly covered herself before he could reveal her chest to him. She gave him a big grin while her arms were blocking the way, "Playing hard to get huh?"

She nodded her head, "Uh huh!"

"Come on, let me have some fun here! Don't leave me hanging!"

"Make me~!"

"You asked for it then." He went in, grabbing her arms and forcing them down onto the bed. He was met with little resistance, though he went in to give her another kiss. He'd be feeling up the inside of her mouth once more, and she was more than happy to return the favor. After he pulled away, they both took a moment to breathe.

"You seem to really enjoy kissing me...!" Noa said, her breath still fast.

"It's best if I had what you drank to get up to speed."

"You think that'd even be enough?"

"If it made you this tipsy, it's more than enough."

"Ehehe... You enjoy drunk sex a little too much!" 

"What can I say? It's a whole lot more fun this way."

"You wanna have fun? I'll make sure you have plenty of fun then~" She pushed him off of her, forcing him onto the bed in her place. Just as she did before, Asuma met this with little resistance, curious of what Noa had in store for him. She sat on top of his crotch, his underwear would be visible as his pants would be pulled halfway down. From Asuma's view he couldn't see much as the yukata was still blocking the view; however from the chest up he could see one of her bare breasts out in the open as the yukata was slipping off her shoulder. The other would still be hard to see, although somewhat visible as the nipple was peeking from inside. She slowly moved her waist back and forth in an attempt to excite him, yet not moving too quickly as she simply wanted to tease him. Asuma felt her rubbing against him, he could tell she wasn't wearing any underwear. The idea of her not having any panties, yet the sight of the action being obscured by such a light piece of clothing—which could so easily be removed if Asuma wanted. After being with him for an extended period of time, Noa was fully aware of this weakness of his. His imagination would run wild, making it all the more enjoyable for her to watch. "You like that Asuma~?"

Asuma did his best to maintain his composure, "Hah... I think you're enjoying this a whole lot more than I am..."

 Noa made a pouty face "What's that supposed to mean? I guess I'm not working hard enough then.." She leaned back, undoing her yukata and revealing the rest of her naked body to him. She then stuck her hands out behind her, moving more vigorously across his crotch. The pleasure would begin to rise within her, the movement exciting her more and more. She could feel his waist twitching from under her, it was evident that he was yearning to have sex with her. "You want me... Don't you...?? Hah... You can't fool me...!! You want me badly don't you??" She moaned in her usual high pitched voice. Her breath was quick, so too were her movements. She began to stain his underwear, she enjoyed the action no less than he did at that moment. Asuma tried his best to hang on, he didn't want to be out just yet; though thankfully Noa would stop before he came.

"God damn..." Asuma threw his head back onto the pillow, the feeling going back down just in time. As he caught his breath, he attempted to dismiss her successful attempt at teasing him. "I guess it was about time for you to slow down huh..?"

"Hehe... Who do you take me for Asuma? I could feel you thrusting under me! I'd even say it was a little cute..." She fully removed his pants and  began to reach inside his underwear, feeling him up and down. "You want to put this inside of me don't you~?" She continuously stroked him, desperately wanting to see his reaction to each movement of her hand. He struggled to maintain his composure, Noa's cheeky facial expression along with her servicing made it hard for him to maintain his usual stoic appearance. "I like it when you're like this~" She leaned forward, giving him a kiss on his cheek. "I think you deserve a reward for being so patient!" Noa sat on top of him again, this time she was actually planning on having sex then and there. The moment he entered her Asuma quickly gripped her hips with his hands, her skin was smooth and her body was warm. She yelped, letting out an "Ah!" while Asuma lifted himself up, pushing her back onto the bed while her legs were thrown in the air. In a quick movement he put her into a missionary position, his hands shifted from her waist to her arms; holding them down firmly against the mattress. "A-Asuma...!?" She said with a confused smile on her face.

"Think you can play with me like that and get away with it?" He looked at her again, the combination of her small, naked body along with her smooth and fair skin was captivating. "The things I'd do right now if I didn't hold myself back..." He said softly.

"What's wrong? Afraid of hurting me?" She teased.

"You afraid to get hurt?"

"Hah, not by you. " Just as she said that, Asuma would thrust his hips forward. "Ah~!" He was a lot more rough than she had anticipated, being restrained while he carried on at his own pace threw her for a loop. "A-Asuma...!" 

"What happened to all that big talk?! You want me to stop?"

"Ngh, I can handle it just fine...! I... ngh.... Told you you were afraid of hurting me...!"

"Alright then, you asked for it!" He sat up, holding up one of her legs and forced her into a pretzel position. Noa could barely form a coherent word let alone a sentence, only capable of letting out moans that'd sound like drawn out words. She gripped the bed sheets tightly, her saliva running down onto the sheets while Asuma ravaged her insides. She began to wonder if she was biting off more than she could chew, not that it mattered now as she had already instigated his actions. The amount of movement would make them both begin to sweat, yet the adrenaline would keep Asuma going for a while. He'd then pull her up close to him, holding onto her chest and midriff as she basked in his warmth. By this point there was no stopping Asuma, his hips moved on their own—out of control and thrusting fervently. Asuma suddenly taking control of her and making her into his plaything made her more hot and heavy. When she least expected it he started to moan in her ear, she'd be stimulated on all fronts in a never ending whirlpool of ecstasy. "Today a safe day?" He asked. In return, she'd nod quickly.

"M-Mhm!"

"Good." With that, he came inside of her. Her legs twitched uncontrollably as his warm fluids filled her. Asuma loosened his grip and let go of her, she collapsed on the bed in exhaustion. Her head was still spinning as she tried to get a hold of herself, a moment passed before she'd meet eyes with Asuma once more. He had a towel and offered to clean her up, which she'd gladly accept.

Afterwards they cleaned up the bed and decided to finally turn in for the night. Noa would lay next to Asuma, placing her hand on his chest. In return he had his arm around her, holding her close to him.

"Good night Asuma." She said before pecking him on the cheek.

"Good night Noa." He kissed her on her forehead, causing her to giggle.

Chapter Text

It had been some time since Noa and Asuma's schedules had aligned again, their jobs keeping them from being with one another for long periods of time. When they did align, they'd cherish the precious moments they'd spend with one another, and this night would be no different. Asuma would be the first home, which would then be followed by Noa, who would be adorned in her dress suit that was now reserved for formal events. She closed the door behind her as she entered a greeted Asuma with her belongings in hand.

"Afternoon Asuma!" She said in a peppy tone.

"Afternoon, Noa." He responded with a book in hand, "What's with the get up? Something special happened today?"

"We just had a ceremony is all, I didn't have time to change so I thought I'd do it here!"

"I can't deny that it looks great on you, but that's just my first impression of you talking."

"Oh? You like it?" She did a pose with one hand behind her head and one on her hip, "I think it makes me look very esteemed!"

Asuma put the book down, walking over to Noa. "You know, it also makes you a little hard to resist too."

"Ah?"

"Gotcha."

He firmly grasped her from behind, locking his arms around her waist unexpectedly. He held her tightly and brushed up against her, she could tell that he was already "in the mood."

"You really know how to keep a man waiting, Noa." He whispered in her ear.

"Asuma..." Even she began to get heated from his approach, Asuma behaving this way didn't happen too frequently. 

One by one he unbuttoned her suit jacket, it becoming more and more undone to reveal her inner dress shirt. She was silent and looking at the floor, allowing him to slowly undress her with little push back. As he was going in for the last button, he'd whisper in her ear again as her held her with his other arm.

"If you want me to stop now, here's your chance."

As he said this, Noa reached up and grabbed hold of his hand with hers. He paused for a moment, unsure if Noa was actually okay with what he was doing with her. However, she lifted his hand up to the lapels of the suit and had him pull each apart from one another. The resulting action fully removed it and undid the last button. She wanted him to continue. Seeing this, Asuma turned her around and backed her up into the open doors of the bedroom, their eyes locked onto one another as Noa's breathing grew more rapid. She was laid onto the bed while he pulled at her tie, unraveling it from the collar of her shirt.

"It's ironic how a capable officer like you submits so easily like this.."

"It's not wrong for me to want to feel loved too.."

"Don't worry then.." He started undoing her dress shirt, pulling it apart as the buttons began to undo themselves. "As someone who was your commander, I'll make sure you'll feel loved."

He unlatched her bra, lifting it off of her chest to reveal her small round soft breasts. She was finally exposed to him once more, and he didn't hesitate to begin his assault of pleasure. He covered her nipple with his mouth, licking on sucking on her breast, tracing his tongue around her areola. It was something foreign to her, a man so infatuated with a chest such as hers. She was blushing profusely and lightly moaning to herself.

"Asuma.. Asuma.."

Once he had finished there was a light mark left on her, her breathing was still rapid and her heart was beating ever more. He lifted himself up from on top of her and began to pull off her stockings, showing her beautiful slender legs. He pushed up her skirt, revealing white panties with a small pink bow on the front. He massaged her crotch with just his thumb, making her moans more noticeable in volume. He rubbed her more and more before fully removing her panties, guiding them through her legs, ankles, and feet. Then, he would bend down, and Noa felt the sensation of his mouth licking and sucking on her just as he was with her breast. It was far more stimulating, far more sensitive, and far more pleasurable. His mouth and tongue were warm and wet, his tongue specifically rubbing against the walls of her labia and occasionally brushing up against her clitoris. Whenever the two crossed paths, she could feel each and every taste bud on his tongue all parading around in her ground. She couldn't stop moaning, her legs kept twitching and she didn't want him to stop. He would then grab her by her thighs and force his mouth in even deeper, she threw her head back in ecstasy she was practically yelling his name.

"Asuma...! Asuma...! Ah~!"

She had an orgasm right then in there, her heart was racing and she was panting profusely. Her chest moved up and down as she tried to catch her breath. Asuma removed his bottom and lifted Noa up to sit over onto his lap, the two facing each other as she felt his erection pushing up against her. He held onto her by her waist and she had her arms wrapped around his shoulders, already twitching and ready for him to please her again.

"Go ahead, I'll let you start." Asuma said.

Noa lifted herself, trying to have Asuma penetrate her. It was difficult at first as he slipped out, but she'd finally managed to slowly but surely lower herself onto him. He was warm and pulsating, she could feel the blood flow of his erection in her insides. As for Asuma, Noa was practically dripping wet and waiting for him desperately, as far as Noa's body was concerned, it was a place that was just for him. She slowly moved up and down, already in a daze from Asuma pleasuring her earlier, but now she was driven by pure instinct. She went up and down rhythmically, sometimes swaying her hips back and forth wanting him to reach as deep as possible. It was a tight fit, which made it a little hard for her to move, but it was equally difficult for Asuma to not outright ravage her then and there. She went back to moaning once more, repeating Asuma's name as her eyes were shut and teeth grit. Asuma began to kiss her neck, furthering the pleasure she was experiencing, his grasp on her growing tighter.

"I love you, Noa." He whispered.

"Ah.. A-Asuma..."

"Yes...?"

She struggled to get the words out, slowing down in the middle of the action. "Should we... be doing this..?"

"What do you mean?"

"We both were in the same unit in the police force... We aren't even married... Yet, we're practically living together, and having sex as if it was normal."

"It isn't like anyone has tried stopping us so far..."

"I know but- do you think it's wrong to take advantage of that? Maybe we're taking things too fast...?"

"Noa..." He leaned back, still with his hands on her waist. "I... I know it may bother you but... I don't care at this point..."

"It doesn't make you worry at all? Even when there's a chance something could go wrong?"

"Noa, you are the first woman I've been able to make love with like this. I've fallen in love before, but it was never something that ever grew into anything significant. When I was finally given the chance to express genuine love and affection, I took it. I don't care if it's selfish, I don't care if anyone disapproves of it. I know I love you, and I won't give up this chance. I've broken many rules before, and I'm sure as hell willing to break this one too."

"Asuma..."

He pulled her down with her, almost reigniting her drive to start moving again. He would whisper into her ear again, "I've become addicted to you."

This admission would make Noa start to move again on her own, if anything got Noa's heart moving and her libido going it was praise.

"Asuma... Say it again..."

"I'm addicted to you, Noa."

"Again...!" She started moving faster and faster.

"I'm addicted to you Noa, I love you and I don't want to stop making love with you whenever I can. Sometimes when I'm around you I just can't help myself."

Noa's hips were moving on their own, she held on tightly to Asuma as his praises got into her head more and more.

"It's your small body and figure, the way I can pick you up and embrace you with ease. Your chest, your waist, the way your body curves as it goes down from your hips to your legs to your ankles. I want it all. Your smooth, soft, fair skin and your bright blue eyes and auburn hair, it doesn't matter how insignificant it is."

She was moving vigorously, the sweat from the sex they were having mixed in the aroma in the air made them both even more aroused. Their bodies were nearly pressed up against one another's, generating heat from the friction of their movement. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her, it didn't matter if she was tired from moving, the words coming from Asuma's mouth kept her more and more active.

"I don't care what the police department would say, I don't care what any news outlet says, I want you and I'm never going to give you up just because. I've been given happiness in my life this one time, and like hell I'd give it up now. As if I'd let something I can finally call mine be taken away from me."

"Asuma...! Asuma...!"

They both climaxed as Asuma held Noa close to him, fervently and passionately kissing her neck. He could still feel her moving a little more even after they had finished, his praises influencing her desperate love filled thrusts and sways.

"Asuma... I want you to... This is all just for you... You and only you...!"

He had awakened something inside of her, perhaps the stimulation had left her in this state.

"Noa... Calm down..." He said, out of breath.

"I love you too Asuma... I love you too!" She climaxed again, this being the last time before she too was too exhausted to continue.

"Noa... Are you...?"

"It's okay... I understand how you feel, Asuma, you don't have to worry about losing me... I'll be here with you for as long as I can." She embraced him tightly, "You won't have to worry anymore."

"Noa..."

"Thank you..."

Chapter Text

It was early in the morning before the sun could peek over the horizon, a time where the darkness of the night still remained. The police officer and labor pilot Noa Izumi would awaken, finding herself laid bare next to her partner Asuma Shinohara. The only thing keeping her from being exposed to the elements was a futon that bundled the two together. She was aware of what they had done mere hours earlier, how much of each other they had seen that night, how different their perception of one another had changed after one encounter. Despite this, even in as compromising a position as it may look to anyone else she knew, she was content with the situation. In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that she could carry on with her day as if it were any other, something even she found quite peculiar. Noa looked at Asuma, who was turned away from her, seeing his bare skin on his neck that ran down his back. Even in this situation where two people can be as close as possible as they could with one another, seeing him face away from her like that somewhat worried her. Noa raised her hand, placing it down on his shoulder, his blood still running warm through his body.

"Asuma.." She said lightly, rocking him back and forth. "Asuma..? Are you awake?" she asked timidly.

At first there wouldn't be a response, but soon enough she could hear the bass in his voice drum up before she got an answer.

"..Yeah ..What is it?" He said in a groggy tone.

"We- we really did it, did we?" She said.

"Yeah."

"..."

She knew that she and Asuma were the closest on the team, their relationship being an open secret to most everyone. If she needed a shoulder to cry on, it would be Asuma's. If family trouble for Asuma came up, she'd be the first to lend an ear. Even the act of embracing after a hard fought battle wasn't uncommon between them. Yet here it felt a little colder than usual, she didn't feel the usual warmth she would when she's with him. Which prompted her to quickly investigate.

"Asuma...?"

"..Yeah?"

"Do you... love me?"

It was probably a silly question to ask by this point, but all she wanted at this moment was some kind of closure or assurance. Asuma paused for a moment before responding.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, we just had sex, and I just wanted to know if it changed anything for us.."

"Is... something wrong?"

"No! No- I don't think anything changed but sometimes I could be a little out of the loop on a few things aha... hah.." 

"Well, I think I do."

"Hm?"

"I think I love you."

"You think?" She was utterly confused at such a response. "Could you at least look at me when you say it?" She said as she tugged on his shoulder. 

Asuma slowly turned and rose from the futon, the cover sliding from over him. He was still facing away from her, but this time he felt a lot more "tangible." He rubbed his eyes and forehead with his hands, fingertips brushing up on the short bangs of his hair.

"That probably came out wrong, I'm sorry, it's just that my mind's not all there right now."

Noa found herself leaning forward slightly, at least to get a better view of his face. He let out a deep sigh, and would continue.

"What I mean is that this is all new to me. I wanted to be with a girl like this before but I've been really caught up on if something like that could actually happen, and if I'm capable of handling a connection like this. You're the only other person that I've held, embraced, and even kissed."

"You've never once been affectionate with another girl?"

"I still had crushes but none of them ever worked out, I'd only ever say 'I love you' to family like my brother or my grandfather. I could never really say it to anyone else like that, because I'm not sure if I'd mean it. With that being said, I don't want to lie to you or be disingenuous about how I feel to you. I wouldn't want to betray your trust in what I say. But, despite all of that, I think I do love you."

"Asuma... I think you're too worried about definitions..." She hugged him from behind, the sudden movement surprising him as he felt her chest push up against his back. "You're warm, and your heart is beating really quickly isn't it? That's love, you are in love, and I love you too." 

"Sorry, I was probably being really dramatic about it.."

"It's okay, I understand how you feel. You don't have to worry about anything."

"...Noa."

"Hm?"

"What makes you put up with me so much?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm always pushing you around, telling you what to do, giving you all this trouble. Surprised you're not sick of me by now."

"I mean, it does bother me a little, but I kind of like it too. I'd fall behind if no one pushed me to do better as hard as you have."

Noa would then spy something... rising between Asuma's legs under the blanket. She gasped and a cheeky smile grew on her face.

"See?! I told you you loved me!"

Asuma took notice of what she was talking about, quickly covering himself with the blanket. "Wh-!? Hey! Don't look-!"

"Calm down, I already saw it! What are you so embarrassed about? It's not like you're sma-"

"S-stop talking!"

"..."

"What?"

"...I'll show you if you show me..."

He turned away, "I already saw so... so don't worry about it."

"I promise."

"..."

"Count of three?"

"fine."

"One... Two... Three!"

They both removed the blanket and exposed themselves to each other again, both taking a good look at their naked bodies in a more casual setting. Despite Noa's chest and groin being visible to Asuma, the part of her body that he noticed the most were the bruises on her shoulders. They didn't look grotesque, and weren't noticeable at a glance, but they definitely were visible. It was clear to Asuma that Noa likely endures a lot more than he originally believed when on duty, the act of sitting in the cockpit alone doesn't leave her unscathed. Every time she loads into the machine, she's sacrificing some part of herself, even if it may seem small and insignificant. He was always attracted to her dedication, her drive, and her energy, the fact that she was more resilient than most girls of her caliber made her irresistible. Though he'd then see Noa focusing on his man parts unashamedly. 

"W-what's with the look?!" Asuma said, a little embarrassed. 

"Oh, it's just that I never got a good luck at one of these before.." 

"Ah, so is this some kind of learning experience for you or something?" He replied sarcastically. 

"I guess you could say that... Can you control it? Like make it go up and down?" 

"Er- Not really, it depends on my mood, maybe I'll brush up on something and it just happens. Then there's always the case of 'morning wood' all guys get." 

"Ah I see I see! ...So, you want to touch?" Noa said, presenting her bosom. 

At this point, Asuma was as red as a tomato. "Your chest?" 

"Yeah, guys like feeling up girls right? I admit I don't have much to offer..."

"Oh it doesn't bother me at all, I honestly kind of like how small you are." 

"You didn't have to say it like that!" Her face looked a little pouty.

Asuma reached out and felt the smooth skin of Noa's chest, it was soft to the touch and extremely addicting. He felt as if he could course his hands across her body for an eternity. She flinched at the contact but soon openly invited him to do as he pleased. 

"So, how does it feel..?" She asked.

"Like we're two teenagers trying to figure out how to be intimate." 

"I guess we're a little old to be doing this sort of stuff aren't we." 

"I mean, it's not like anyone's watching, we don't have to worry about embarrassing ourselves." 

"You're right. ...Also before we go back to bed..."

"What is it?"

"Can I get a kiss?" 

"On the lips?"

"Mhmm!" She nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Alright, come here." 

Noa closed her eyes and puckered her lips, Asuma rolling his eyes before closing them and kissing her on the lips. Noa's lips were soft and a little moist, he could tell that she was expecting full on french kissing as their tongues had temporarily made contact. It was almost envigorating to Asuma, as if he could push her over and pick back up where he had left off. Surely Noa wouldn't have minded that either. It lasted maybe ten to fifteen seconds before they pulled away, Noa giggling after such a pure display of affection. 

"Thank-you!" 

"Let's not stay up too late now."

"You got it." 

Asuma pulled the cover of the futon over the both of them, pulling in Noa close and feeling the warmth of her body. He tried to make sure she felt appreciated before they'd go back to their duties in the morning. Before they would shut their eyes, he had one last thing to say. 

"Hey, Noa."

"What is it?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."
