Near the school, there's a public hot spring just a few blocks away from the school. It's a Japanese looking building, the walls are tattered and soaked in blood. The bloodstain on the walls look dry, I suppose it's been a few days. There's a corpse in front of the public bathhouse.
An old woman in her sixty with a fashionable green kimono died.
There's a trace of bullets on her chest, her blood is already dried up on the streets. Ender poked my cheek with his index finger.
"Come on, let's get in" he smiled.
I followed him inside the dark public bathhouse. The interior is filled with dragon pattern ornaments on the walls. There's a bonsai too inside, still untouched. Ender dragged me to a changing room, I was a little bit shook.
"Why are we here?" I asked the man.
"Why not?" he smiled childishly.
He unzipped his hoodie and was about to pull up his t-shirt.
"Wait just a sec! I'm not going to change while you're in here!" I stuttered my words.
"Come on, I want to take you out here to relax! Don't sweat the small stuff!" Ender grinned.
I think he wants to take a bath with me, considering that we're in a bathhouse.
I exited the changing room, I could hear Ender's small laugh from across the thin Japanese sliding door.
The full moon reflected Ender's shadow in his towel attire only. His piece of clothes fell on the floor, one by one. After his shadow disappeared, I entered the changing room.
It seems like he put all of his clothes in a basket on the shelf.
I'm going to do that as well. I unbuttoned my attire with shaky fingers, nervous about what's going to happen next. I put my attire in the basket, next to Ender. I am bare naked, this is shameless. My face blushed in many shades of red.
I wrapped the towel around my bare body, the towel softness tingled my sweaty skin. I clasped my hand together in front of my chest, my heartthrob in either anticipation or nervousness. I opened the door toward the steamy bathhouse.
In the hot spring, Ender already relaxed his body and mind while his back faced toward me. I walked slowly toward Ender, my legs trembling.
"Wait no, I should walk further away" I shook my head.
However, when I was about to walk away I felt a hand gripping on my ankle. Ender reached my ankle and looked at me with puppy eyes.
"Why are you going further away?" he asked sadly.
"We're man and woman! Of course, I'm walking away!" I blushed and stuttered like crazy.
My heart throbs when he looks at me with his puppy eyes, I can't stand this throbbing pulsating feeling on my chest.
"This is a mixed bath, so why bother" he grumbled.
"I bother! I mind!" I stuttered like a train wreck.
This seems to have made the man impatient, he stood up from the water and picked me up with bridal style. I gasped when I could feel his bare hands on my thighs. I lowered my face as he gazed at me with a satisfied grin.
"Let go of me you pervert!!" I struggle from his grasp.
"Hey, stop that! I don't want both of us to fall! Seriously!" Ender sighed.
When he stepped into the hot spring, he lost his footing.
This is what I fear, we both fell in an unfavorable position. I fell on the warm shallow water on the edge of the hot spring, while Ender fell on top of me. The gaps between our faces are around three centimeters away. I could feel his warm breath, tingling my face.
"Sorry" Ender spoke.
"Yes," I was frozen, somewhat entranced by his onyx eyes.
A few minutes had passed, Ender approached my lips slowly.
"Can I?" he asked me in a seductive tone.
Who could resist such a temptation? Even so, this is beyond my logic. It's a logical fallacy, my feelings for him are only naught but temporary."I can't, we're no longer anything" I tried not to stutter but I did.
That stutter didn't convince the man, he crashed his lips into mine. He savored every last bit of the taste. His hands trailed toward my hips, going upward.
"Wait, Ender stop!" I gasped for breath.
"Why should I stop?" he smirked mischievously.
He continued to savor my lips passionately, enjoying my struggle and shyness. He teasingly tries to pull my towel. He hastily pulled my towel until I was naked.
"REEEEE! STOP!!!" I panicked.
"Aria, you're ruining the mood!" Ender sighed.
"BUT WE'RE OUTSIDE! AND THERE'S A FREAKING DRONE EVERYWHERE!" Aria panicked.
"Then don't yell! Geez! You're a difficult girl!" Ender sighed.
Ender trailed his hand toward my upper body, I winced as I felt his tender hands on my skin.
"This is so wrong" I stuttered shyly.
"Why?" he asked.
"The fact that we're doing this outside is wrong, please" I sighed.
He tilted my chin then kissed me lightly on the lips. His smirk widened, devilishly charming.
"Just enjoy it," he whispered. "Don't talk, just feel".
He playfully bit my neck and pleasured me slowly until I'm unable to think straight anymore. My brain is overcome with a lot of things, including this matting session. My legs trembled in anxiety and I am a nervous wreck.
We already did this, not until the main part though.
"Why am I here?" I inhaled.
"You seem like you're regretting something" Ender plants his kisses on my chest.
"You" I replied short.
"What?" he raised his brows.
"I said you, dumbass" I scowled.
He silenced my next sentences with another passionate kiss on my lips. He slowly reached my legs, wanting to spread it apart.
"What are you!".
"Aria, don't fight me in this" he sighed. "The last time we did this, you've become crazy and escape the room like right away".
"Because it's freaking nasty!" I scowled.
Ender rolled his eyes annoyed, he forcefully spread my legs hastily while I tried to maintain my posture.
"You're crazy!" I scowled.
"You are the one who is crazy! You want to left me hanging!?" Ender groaned. "Listen, I'll make you comfortable okay? Just relax".
He tried to reassure me. I gulped as I slowly spread my legs. He then slowly descended toward my core. Ah, this is a bad idea, I should stop him.
* * *
That's what said, but in the end, we did it until the main part. I laid on top of Ender, the pleasure still tingles my skin and somewhat made me feel sensitive. I drowsily sat on Ender's lap while enjoying the full moonlight in the sky.
"So, what do you think?" Ender lightly pokes my cheek.
"I feel messed up" I groaned.
"You'll get used to it," he chuckled slightly.
He wrapped his arm around my bare waist as he gazed at the shining blue moon. Was the moon always this blue? Or is my eyes turning bad? I don't understand and I feel slightly dizzy from the heat.
"The heat is getting into you?" Ender smiled.
"Somewhat" I yawned.
Both of us gazed on the moon, without a care in the world. It's probably already midnight by now.
"So what are you planning to do in the middle of the apocalypse?" I asked the young man.
"Nothing fancy, just trying to survive I guess" he replied pessimistically.
"Makes sense" I flashed him a smile.
It's surprising to see that this hot spring is still a hot spring, considering it's been a few days since the drones attack. Ender explained to me that he stayed in this bathhouse for a while, he wanted to spy on the Brave Frontier movement. In the end, he got caught by them when he was about to investigate more.
"Why are you even sneaking in?" I asked him.
"I heard that they have the blueprints of every government drone, they have the copies of every type" he spoke annoyed. "And this is why they're able to build a strong stronghold, it's because they have the government secret".
"Ah, Vladimir is the son of the president, isn't he?" I gazed into his curious eyes.
"Yeah, I suspected that he made a copy of his father's security systems to overthrow him" he explained.
"If I have it, I can find the drone weakness while staying alive".
Ender is always a step ahead, is he? He always does. He thinks in the long term duration, different from me I suppose. We quietly enjoyed the moonlight in each other's warmth. Staring into the moonlight beauty at the sky, Ender kissed my ear lovingly.
"No matter what happens, I will protect you Aria" he whispered alluringly.
My mind is befuddled between Ender's warmth and Joel's sincerity. Why is that I can't reply to Ender right away? My mind keeps wandering about Joel's bloody state that morning. I'm so sorry, Joel.
