Painfilled Lessons [nsfw]

Iyuki stopped singing, a few small laughs escaping him as he pulled back from her head a bit. His hand played with her hair as it slid up a bit, the tail she had as soft as the rest. "I am sorry Muika, I could not resist. If you like my voice, I will sing for you forever. I really truly like singing."

Her burning face, tight hold and inability to move away from him made him smile and laugh a little bit more. He really had to stop or else she would burn up.

"M-Mm..." Muika gave a nod against him, her mind once again too frazzled to give much more in terms of a response as she remained in place. Say...Say words. "Y-Y-You're...y-you're good...at it...s-singing..."

"That is good to hear. I shall sing for you more... Any requests?" Iyuki laughed lightly, wondering if she liked any from the disney movies she had been forced to sit through for hours on the first day they had been home. Or the next night... Or the countless other songs they had run across the past few days.

A small squeak was his response; she...she couldn't take this, she would die if he kept this up...she'd end up having one of his overreactions to things and end up dying. So instead of answering with anymore than what she'd given, she remained in place, close against him and in hiding.

"All right, All right. Fine. I shall stop for now." Iyuki's words were filled with laughter as he spoke softly, his hand sliding up to her head as Muika squeaked and hid against him. She was like a terrified little mouse, he wished he could hold her fully and soothe her... Even though he had been the source of this.

A break. Good. Maybe said break would be long enough for her to gather the pieces of her broken mind, then she'd be able to talk and communicate again. For now, she continued to remain as was, her grip on him relaxing as she felt his hand move to her head.

"M-Mm."

Playing with her hair lightly, Iyuki fell silent for a bit as he enjoyed the feeling of holding Muika. He smiled softly, allowing the silence to be comfortable and just content for now. She would be able to recover soon and all would be well.

He could sing for her then.

Gradually, Muika relaxed, though she still had yet to move from him, as she preferred to keep her face hidden still. Even if she were relaxing again, she still held no doubt that her face was still red, feeling it'd stay that way for at least the rest of the day.

All that blushing...

Muika was relaxed but still hiding it seemed. Iyuki's fingers teased her hair softly as he waited quite patiently. For now he was content to, wanting her to feel better though she may have to move soon. He felt a small ache in his chest that meant he had over done it.

It took a few moments, but Muika finally pulled away some, though her face was still obviously a bit red. She didn't move much, considering Iyuki was playing with her hair, and she enjoyed that.

At the feeling of him teasing her hair, she gave one of her small smiles.

Iyuki noted the red face but merely smiled softly at her. Leaning his head forward, he planted a small kiss on the tip of her nose. "Are you feeling better then Muika? Shall I sing now for you again or would you prefer that later?"

He teased very lightly, hoping she would answer him yes but perfectly fine with her being too flustered. He did not understand such a reaction, but he would accept it.

Annnd...the blush returned.

"Mn..." Muika's eyes averted for a second before glancing at Iyuki again, a small sound escaping her though it didn't exactly give a definite answer. "Y-You...c-can."

She didn't mind, he had a great voice, she just became extremely flustered over it...

"I shall wait till later then, since you seem too flustered even now." Iyuki smiled softly and moved his hand to her cheek as he gently brushed it with his knuckles. Muika's face was red again, she was going to melt it off at this rate. He should be careful with her... She had so many things that hurt her, even if this teasing was fun and she reacted cute he'd rather not abuse it.

"T...Th-that's n-n-not a bad thing though, just...flustered...i-it means y-you're g-good...really good." She wanted to reassure him, but at the same time she silently wish for something to strike her down for her words just so she could avoid the embarrassment. "I-I mean...I-It means...means...y-you're making my...my heart beat faster and...and...mm...f-f-flutter...y...mm..."

S-So it wasn't bad! It was...just a lot, it wasn't a bad feeling or anything, just, an overwhelming one.

Iyuki's face slowly turned a rather light shade of red as Muika stuttered out a rather embarrassing response. He...was that good? He knew he was a fine singer, but to make her be like this over his voice?

His hand moved from her face to his, covering his mouth as he turned away, his cheeks slowly growing darker. "Y-You really think that? It really...does such things and make your heart beat faster?"

Coughing slightly, Iyuki lowered his hand after a few seconds and started singing a sweet song for Muika, softly. It was all he could manage with his own heart beating so rapidly as well.

It wasn't just his voice, but also the contents of what he sang at times that made her react so strongly...but did she have anymore nerve that could get her to say that? At the time being...no.

Still, she gave a small nod, that usual "Mm" following as if to affirm her nod.


Muika could have sworn she'd had a red since the past two days before today, though she knew she was probably just imagining things...then again, as she'd predicted a long time ago, she could hardly go a day without blushing at least a couple of times...

Today, they'd planned on going out, like they'd planned the first day they'd moved here to get ice cream. She was a bit concerned still about his injuries, but they were healing up rather swiftly, which helped lessen her concern.

"A-Are your injuries doing alright, still?" She asked, sitting, dressed in her usual attire, that argyle hoodie included as she glanced over at Iyuki.

Ice cream! Iyuki was allowed out of the house, his chest wound quite a bit better than it had been. The outside was sealed up and had a large soft scar of sorts for now though the rest was still healing up. However this meant Muika would allow him the chance to leave.

She had custody of his glasses, not letting him have the chance to use his powers unless she gave the okay. It was cruel and mean, but he still could use his soul pulling in an emergency.

As he leaned back on the bench, his good arm resting behind Muika's back, he glanced down at her. "Are you recovered Muika? We should head on here soon, are you sure the heat isn't too much with the sweater on and that is why you needed to rest?"

Iyuki was wearing, oddly enough for him, something that wasn't very layered. His button up white shirt had its sleeves rolled back up his arms, his slacks were of a more cotten like material and he wore no vest or really anything else. His sling was the reason for it, carrying his left arm, while his hair was pulling back into a small ponytail. Iyuki felt it was time for a haircut, over a month without would do such a thing to him...

"Ah, Yeah; I'm feeling better now."

Originally, Muika had fibbed a bit...claiming she was tired and it'd probably be good to rest, but really, she wanted him to rest some. He seemed fine but...rest meant faster healing. So if she needed to say that she needed to rest to get him to, then she would do so.

"P-Probably the sweater, but I don't want to take it off outside." She was still prone to wearing long sleeves no matter the temperature, that was a step she couldn't quite make yet for long periods of time, so she kept it on.

She was relieved they could get out though...she knew staying inside all this time until now had probably been horrible in its own way, so he probably felt better...being out and under the sun some, even if it was a bit hot out.

Muika was a bit worried in her own right though, with the chain of her power source still broken, she didn't really have a weapon other than it's secondary ability, which...could prove useful in certain situations, but then again, she also had her hand-to-hand combat experience, so unless something completely out of the blue happened, they should be absolutely fine, which helped ease her worries on that a decent amount.

"I understand, I am glad you are feeling better." If she was too hot he didn't wish to rest his arm on her, so he had settled for the bench. However her words made his hand twitch, he wished to hold her. Iyuki knew rather well why she didn't want the hoodie off.

However it was a gorgeous day and such things could not even dent the man's moon a bit. He leaned back, letting the sun wash over him before moving to stand. It was slow going, he was trying to be careful. But Ice Cream awaited them. Smiling softly, he watched Muika with careful eyes. "Are you sure it is okay to be out? I know you are worried about...that man."

At his words, Muika scooted just a bit closer to him, giving a nod to add more reassurance that she was feeling alright now. When he brought up Seiya, her eyes moved to him before she averted them, shaking her head.

"I...I don't think he'll come around, b-besides, even without my weapon I still have other means of...of keeping him away." Even if she'd nearly failed that first time, having frozen and given him an opening...

She...She wouldn't make that mistake again...if there was even going to be a second time. She...was starting to lose what little will she had left in keeping that decision open for her to get rid of him...especially after he'd actually shown up. She hadn't been able to do anything more than strike him, let alone put any physical wounds on him.

She almost wanted to say that he wouldn't bother them anymore, but that would give too many openings for things she still had yet to tell him.

Shaking the thoughts, she shuffled a bit to sit up a bit higher as she turned, her hand grasping the side of his shirt lightly as she gave him a small kiss on the edge of his mouth. "I-It'll be fine. I'm alright, b-besides...y-you won't let him near me, with your soul pulling."

Even if she didn't want him using his abilities, if it meant keeping Seiya away she knew he'd do it regardless, so there wasn't any use in telling him not to in a "what-if" situation. And...honestly, the fact that he was willing to do that made her feel...really happy.

Iyuki knew she had other means and nodded, his arm moving to hold her lightly as she scooted closer. As she grabbed his shirt, moving up to give the side of his mouth a kiss, said mouth got a small smile. His hand squeezed her shoulder gently, laughing lightly.

"I will not allow him within twenty feet of you, I promise." Iyuki's face moved closer to hers, nuzzling her cheek before he kissed it softly. He really wouldn't, for all intents and purposes he was a walking restraining order on the man. It would take the man potentially stripping and being in a dirt field for him to be able to bypass Iyuki's soul pulling.

He was inventive though, Iyuki. He would figure out a way to keep the man outside that bubble. "Hm, are you feeling up to moving? We can get our ice cream now."

"Mm." With a nod, Muika stepped off the bench and moved next to his side, gaining a small smile after he'd kissed her.

He wouldn't let Seiya near them, hearing that...felt nice, it was reassuring to hear, even if she already knew it.

When she was at his side, she took his hand, lacing her fingers between his with a faint tint in her cheeks as she gave him another small nod. "I'm feeling better, we can get going."

Iyuki smiled softly as Muika moved to his side, his hand squeezing hers lightly as she twined their fingers together. It was of her own free will and she wasn't holding his sleeve, he couldn't help how happy that made him. She was smiling and had a small blush and that was all he needed.

Giving a short nod, he led Muika down the street a ways before coughing lightly. He wanted to bring something up while they were out but did not know how to broach the subject. His eyes glanced down at Muika and back up as he attempted to get it out. "U-Uh, Muika? Can I ask... ask you something?"

"Hn?" Muika looked up at him at his question as they began walking again, noting his tone as it, showed...uncertainty...she wasn't entirely sure, but she gave a nod.

"Mhmm, you can ask anything."

"...Is Aito your brother? You two act like very annoyed siblings." She had said he could ask anything, therefore the young man charged forward with his question. Iyuki did not stutter, but did turn his gaze away from Muika.
