Mia's House [nsfw]

Well...he'd marry whomever he wanted to, that was a decision he wasn't going to allow his clan elder's to dictate...but-but the other customs, they were something he needed to respect.

At her next words, his attention went right back to her to which he gave a small shake of his head to.

"N-No, it's alright...I've had a lot of fun today, and yes, there were some accidents, but overall...I wouldn't trade this day happening for anything." He replied, offering her another smile.

"I...wouldn't either. I-It was really amazing!" Mia tilted her head and closed her eyes, giving Masa a nice smile. She still wasn't thinking about her position really and hadn't moved yet, just smiling at the man and trying not to hug him because...he was utterly sweet. And she didn't want to bother him with her affection.

Would he get bothered by it? Bah, it was hard to try and figure out...

Masaru gave a small laugh, "I'm glad you feel the same way."

It was already known, but it made him really happy to know Mia had had fun as well. They'd used their abilities to have fun, they'd gotten to skate, have a snowball fight, and make an igloo and a snowman; Mia had made everything even prettier by using her fire.

Mia leaned down and buried her face in Masa's neck, hiding her happy blush and finally giving in to her urge. It...was Masa, he wouldn't hate it or be angry. She just was nervous and unsure about things! It...was so new and odd for her. To have someone to touch all the time, someone safe enough to touch...

He'd have to go soon, but for right now she was holding him. On top of him. Her face was red but... she could get off in a minute.

As Mia hid, Masaru continued gently play with her hair like he had been; a small, but warm smile graced his expression. He still felt some embarrassment from his actions, but most of it had faded as they'd talked which he was happy for.

"Thank you..." Mia whispered to Masa, nuzzling his neck lightly in a sort of instinctive daze as he played with her hair. She felt so safe and...protected. With him around, she would be safe and okay. Still...he had to go. Nozomi could be worried about him if he stayed too long and someone might assume something bad too, which could hurt his reputation.

"Let me...get up. You should head back before...before you...g-get weird rumors. A-About being...in a woman's house." Mia turned red admitting that but she shifted so she could get off of him.

"Welcome." He replied, his tone soft as Mia nuzzled his neck.

When she brought up moving though, he felt a small tint return to his cheeks.

"Mm, ah r-right..." Masaru replied, letting his hand move from her hair so she could move. "I guess I should, I can get dinner started when I get back..."

He wasn't sure what he'd make yet, Nozomi might give him an idea upon coming back though...sometimes she asked for specifics if he asked. If not, he could make curry rice...

"Mm, I should...start something soon too." Mia's stomach rumbled as if on cue, her face turning red as she slide to the side. Moving to her knees, she finally then stood up and did NOT look at the pile of clothing. That would be too embarrassing to look at right now, what with her stupid stomach and the stupid underwear right there...

She'd make something quick like a sandwich and then start on dinner fully. Having no idea what to make she would be at a loss for a bit anyways and headed to the door of her bedroom to lead Masa downstairs when he was ready.

"Ah, well...if you ever want to, like when you come to spend time with Nozomi, you can...stick around for dinner as well, maybe we can even make something together like we planned awhile back? Ahaa...whenever you'd like to, that is."

Having said that, Masaru went to stand soon after Mia, following her out of her room to the stairs and making sure to definitely not look anywhere but the door so he could avoid looking at the pile of clothes that'd put them on the floor in the first place...

"...I've love that. Coming over for dinner and...helping too. A-And staying after visiting...you and Nozomi." Mia turned red and glanced away, admitting it and unable to just...say it without stuttering. It wasn't anything embarrassing! It was just... dinner.

She led Masa downstairs and back to the door, opening it for him but...just standing there unsure of what to do now. Did he just leave or... Shifting slightly, she stared up at him with a small smile. He'd leave and that would be the end of a really fun day... Mia didn't want it to end.

"Alright, that's...that's settled then." He was glad she liked the sound of that, it'd be nice...it was nice whenever Mia visited, it was fun...so to be able to do those things like cooking with her, and spending time afterwards with her seemed nice. "Whenever you'd like..."

When they reached the door, Masaru stepped outside, but stopped and turned back to face her, that slight tint to his cheeks having never truly left. He returned her smile with one of his own, giving a small, sheepish laugh before he looked off to the side; he leaned forward, after some debate, giving her a small kiss before he smiled again. "Thank you, a-again...for today..."

Masa seemed so happy... And he kept repeating whenever she would like... He must really want her to be sure to come over. Mia's smile was warm and she was trying not to giggle at the man's silly reassurance. It was cute, she wanted to come over right now and eat with him. As Masa stopped and turned to face her, Mia felt...she knew what he was going to do.

If he didn't she was going to. She had to... As he looked away, she almost went for it. That sheepish laugh was so cute, with that blush... But Masa did indeed kiss her and she returned it, a small one that left her more flustered than it should because of his thanks. "Welcome..."

How could she... do this... Well... Blurting out her words, she was flushed but carried through as her eyes closed and she waved her hands in front of her. "H-How about...now? You said whenever I want...right? So...if I wanted to right now... would it be okay? D-Dinner that is, together?"

"O-Of course, that...that'd be fine." Masaru replied, mentally wishing he could stop being so flustered over this...it...it was just dinner after all. "We can...we can make something together if you wish, though...I'm unsure of anything specific at the moment..."

His hand had gone to the back of his neck as he gave another small laugh.

"That sounds really fun. T-Together..." Mia's smile was sweet as she stepped outside with Masa, closing her door behind her and turning to lock it. He had his hand behind his neck when she turned back around, a nervous tic of his huh? Reaching out, she took the hand not on his neck in hers and laughed lightly.

"U-Um...how about something thats like... saucy and meaty...with rice? I like that sort of thing a lot. Mm, like curry or stir frys."

When Mia moved to take his hand he grasped it back, listening to what she suggested about what to make, he glanced off to the side before giving a small laugh, it was a coincidence, but he couldn't help but give a small laugh at how she'd basically suggested his favorite dish.

"Well, we could always make...what I usually do by default, c-curry rice? It's...a favorite so..."

"You make it a lot? Oh... If you want we could make something else." Mia turned red, surprised her suggestion was something Masa made tons of... He had mentioned liking it before she thought, and if it was a favorite... she hoped he wasn't bored of it at least? She led him out of her jungle garden from hell, realizing...she had left her cloak back in the house. Her eyes widened and she looked around...

She practically jumped to Masa's side as close as possible without touching and even slightly behind him as both her hands held his in a nervous way. She looked down, hiding herself as much as she could using Masaru.

"N-No, curry rice is fine! Really...it's...it's basically my absolute favorite so-so that's not something I'll get tired of..." He replied as Mia moved to try to hide behind him.

She...didn't have her cloak now that he thought about it, just him and the coat he'd lent her, and it wasn't as covering as a cloak. He didn't mind her using him to hide, it was...a bit cute actually, he just hoped she'd be alright without it...

He gave her hands a small squeeze, offering her another soft smile.

"T-Thats good!" Mia laughed, relieved by those words of it being his absolute favorite. She looked up at Masa, smiling happily and nodding. "We can make that then. I've love to have some... M-Maybe I can make a nice strawberry desert...to make it up to Nozomi?"

The girl might not want it again if they made it a lot... A soothing strawberry desert would cover any potential feelings that may be a bit grumpy about eating it a lot.

As Masa squeezed her hand, that smile made her blush and give another nod. He'd noticed... "I-I'll...be okay. You're here."

"Alright, we can do that then." Nozomi would really enjoy that, she loved sweets that involved strawberry anything really. So it'd definitely make up any negative, hidden feelings about having curry rice since so far she hasn't made any complaints...but he couldn't ever be sure.

He felt his face heat up again at Mia's next words, unable to keep his smile from growing a little. "R-Really? I'm...I'm glad to hear that."

It seemed her idea was a good one! Mia smiled and had happy little thoughts of congratulations. Watching Masa's face heat up, the woman realized how her words...were. That little stutter and smile...getting bigger...

She turned red too and looked away, her only response was to nod and make a little sound of agreement. Masa...was someone safe. She had said so...

Mia was just giddy with happiness, she almost felt like that silly little Captain who used to be Masa's evil VIce Captain. She spun in a circle at Masaru's words, before stopping and with a smile bending to kiss him softly. "Thank you... I'm gonna start breakfast before its too cold. If you can stay a while... I'd like that."

"I can stay, that's not a problem." Masaru answered, giving a soft smile; it was clear how happy she was, and he was glad...her father had been pardoned so now no one had to worry about risks in seeing him, or anything of the sorts.

The best solution had happened, and he was happy because of that.

"Okay." Mia's smile was bright, sitting to start eating the lukewarm breakfast. It was still good, at least good enough for her and she hoped Masaru didn't mind. She had... some odd thoughts though about the whole thing. She was conflicted... Her eyes kept glancing to Masaru as they ate, a bit of worry in them.

Papa was free and had no worries! Which was amazingly good and she didn't want it ever taken back. But... Masaru. Papa had made his...dislike clear... And with him wandering the seireitei would he...

She shook her head, trying to push aside things. Be utterly happy! Don't worry!

It was impossible to not worry over Masaru though and how he felt... Lakshmi must be ecstatic at least...

Masaru took a sip from his glass, there was still some food on his plate, and he intended to finish it; it was good, and he was sure it was still good now though...

"Mn? Something wrong, Mia?" He questioned, setting his glass back down, noticing her shake her head.

Mia gave a small smile and was about to shake her head and deny there was any problem... but she would feel miserable keeping something from Masaru. Looking down at her plate, she poked her food with her fork. "He's free and doesn't have to worry anymore... I'm so happy to know that! I can go see him and just give him hugs, and make dinner here for him sometimes... And just get to know him better than just as my Papa."

"...But you. He doesn't seem to like you... What if he always bothers you? Y-You let him... scare you...when I know you could easily stop it..." Her voice turned small and she looked to the side.

So that was the problem...

Masaru gave what he hoped was a reassuring smile, "It's alright, I'm sure things will be fine...I think...perhaps he's simply protective? That's usually how some parents can be when their child is...dating...right?

If anything goes too far I'll put my foot down, I just...haven't because...well, we didn't exactly meet on the best of terms...and if what I mentioned is what he really feels well, then...I can see why he's reacting to me like this..."
