Chapter 53 - [53] Tomorrow's Not Promised***

I lean forward, my eyes glued to the screen. "See? I told you the janitor was the bomber!"

Nejire groans beside me. "Okay, okay, you were right. How'd you figure it out so fast?"

"Easy. He had access to the whole building, and they showed him in the background of too many scenes. Classic misdirection."

She rolls her eyes. "Alright, Detective. Don't let it go to your head."

"Too late. I'm officially a genius. Maybe I should add 'master crime-solver' to my hero name."

Nejire laughs, shoving my shoulder playfully. "Oh please. Your ego's big enough already, Mr. Sports Festival Champion."

I gasp in mock offense. "How dare you? I'll have you know I'm incredibly humble."

"Oh yeah?" She raises an eyebrow. "Prove it."

I puff out my chest. "I'm the most humble person in the world. No one's more humble than me."

Nejire bursts out laughing, and I join in. It feels good to let loose like this, to just be a normal teenager for a moment.

"You're ridiculous," she says, giving me another playful shove.

I shove back. "You started it!"

Before I know it, we're in an all-out shoving war, laughing and trying to push each other off the bed. In the chaos, Nejire loses her balance and topples forward. I reach out to catch her, but end up falling back myself. We land in a tangle of limbs, with Nejire sprawled on top of me.

For a moment, we just stare at each other, both a little stunned by the sudden change in position. I'm acutely aware of how close we are, of the warmth of her body against mine.

Nejire's eyes widen slightly, and I see a faint blush creep across her cheeks. "Um... sorry," she mumbles, but doesn't move.

"It's... it's okay."

Nejire leans forward, her periwinkle hair falling down like a curtain around us. I lean in too, closing the distance between us. Her lips press against mine with a soft, gentle touch that sends a jolt through my entire body.

The kiss starts out slow, cautious even, like we're both testing the waters. But as the seconds tick by, it deepens, becoming more intense, more heated. Her hands find their way to my hair, fingers threading through the strands as she pulls me closer. I can feel her heart pounding against my chest, matching the rhythm of my own.

She tastes like mint and something sweet, a combination that's uniquely Nejire. I let my hands roam, one cupping the back of her head to deepen the kiss, the other resting on her ass. She shivers under my touch, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

But even as I lose myself in the kiss, a part of my mind remains alert, analyzing. I catalog every sensation, every reaction. The way Nejire's breath hitches when I run my hand down her spine. The soft moan she makes when I nip at her lower lip. All of it gets filed away for future reference.

Because that's just who I am. Even in moments like these, I can't fully shut off the strategic part of my brain.

We break apart, both breathing heavily. Nejire's eyes are dark, her lips slightly swollen from our kisses. She looks absolutely stunning.

"Wow," she breathes.

I grin back at her. "Yeah. Wow."

She leans in, resting her forehead against my chest. "So... that happened."

I chuckle softly. "It did. And I'm very glad it did."

"Me too." She pauses and looks up at me, her expression growing more serious. "Izuku... what does this mean? For us, I mean."

It's a loaded question, one that requires careful consideration. I take a moment to gather my thoughts before responding.

"I care about you, Nejire. A lot. And I want to explore this... whatever it is between us." I brush a strand of hair behind her ear. "But I also want to be honest with you. My feelings for Momo haven't gone away."

Nejire's eyes soften as she looks up at me. "Izuku, we're heroes. Tomorrow's not promised for us."

She's right, of course. Our chosen profession is dangerous. We face death and disaster on a regular basis. But the thought of losing Nejire or Momo was unacceptable.

Nejire continues. "I know how I feel about you. And right now, all I want is for you to hold me like this." She snuggles closer, her head resting on my chest. "I don't mind sharing, Izuku. If it means I get to have moments like this with you."

I wrap my arms around her, pulling her closer. Her warmth seeps into me, and I find myself relaxing despite the weight of our conversation. "Are you sure?"

She props herself up on her elbows, looking me in the eye. "I'm sure. Life's too short for jealousy and drama. If we can make each other happy, even for a little while, isn't that worth it?"

I consider her words carefully. It's not a conventional arrangement, but then again, when has my life ever been conventional?

"Okay," I say finally. "If you're sure, then I'm willing to try."

"Good. Now shut up and kiss me again."

Before continuing, I reach for the remote, putting on another movie and cranking up the volume. The sounds of explosions and dramatic orchestral scores fill the room, a poor attempt to drown out the noises I know we're about to make. Nejire looks at me, her eyes glinting with amusement and challenge.

"Trying to hide something, Izuku?" she teases, her voice barely audible over the movie's chaos.

"Just adding some ambiance," I reply, smirking as I lean in to capture her lips again. This time, the kiss is fierce, hungry. Her hands grip my hair, pulling me closer as our mouths move in sync. I can feel her heart pounding against mine, the heat of her body pressing against me.

I trail kisses down her neck, eliciting a soft gasp from deep within her. Her skin is soft under my lips, her pulse quickening as I linger on a particularly sensitive spot. I can feel her shiver beneath me, her breath hitching as I continue my exploration.

"Izuku..." she breathes, her voice a mix of pleasure and plea. I look up at her, our eyes locking in a moment of shared understanding. She wants more, and I'm more than willing to give it to her.

I shift my position, moving lower until I'm kneeling between her legs. Her eyes widen in surprise, but there's no hesitation in her gaze, only curiosity and desire. I run my hands up her thighs, feeling the smoothness of her skin, the strength of her muscles. She shivers under my touch, anticipating what's to come.

As I lean in, she spreads her legs wider, inviting me closer. I press a soft kiss to the inside of her thigh, then another, moving slowly, teasingly. Her breath hitches with each touch, her body tensing with anticipation. When I finally reach my destination, she lets out a soft sigh, her body relaxing into the sensation.

I take my time, exploring every inch of her with my tongue and lips. Her reactions guide me, each gasp and moan a roadmap to her pleasure. I can feel her growing wetter, her body responding to my touch. Her taste is intoxicating, a mix of sweet and salty that drives me wild.

Nejire grips the sheets, her knuckles turning white as she tries to hold back her moans. I look up at her, our eyes meeting in a moment of raw intimacy. She bites her lip, trying to stifle her cries, but I can see the pleasure in her eyes, the desperation for more.

I double down, increasing my pace and pressure. Her body responds instantly, her hips bucking against me as she chases her release. Her breath comes in short gasps, her chest heaving with each inhale. I can feel her getting closer, her body tensing, her muscles clenching.

"Izuku... I'm close..." she whispers, her voice hoarse with desire. I don't let up, pushing her over the edge with a final, intense stroke of my tongue. Her body convulses, her back arching as she cries out, her release washing over her in waves.

But I'm not done yet. I continue my ministrations, drawing out her pleasure, pushing her towards another peak. Her body is sensitive, responsive to every touch. It doesn't take long before she's on the brink again, her breath coming in short, desperate pants.

Her body convulses, her back arching as she cries out, her voice a mix of pleasure and relief. I slow my movements, allowing her to ride out the sensations, drawing out her pleasure until she's spent.

As she comes down from her high, I press a soft kiss to the inside of her thigh, then another, moving slowly, gently. Her body shudders under my touch, her breath coming in slow, steady inhales.

Nejire tugs at my shirt, her breath ragged. "Izuku, I want you to feel good too."

I meet her gaze, understanding her meaning. She leans up, capturing my lips in another passionate kiss. I deepen it, drawing it out and teasing her with my tongue. She moans into my mouth, her hands fisting the fabric of my shirt.

She moves back slightly, allowing me space to remove it. I toss the shirt aside, leaving my body exposed. Nejire's eyes roam over me, her interest evident. "You're... quite impressive," she murmurs.

I lean down, capturing her mouth again. This time, the kiss is more urgent, fueled by a growing need. I nip at her lower lip, causing her to gasp. She presses her body closer to mine, and I can feel her heart racing against my chest.

Nejire breaks the kiss, trailing her lips down my neck. She sucks gently at first, then with more pressure. The sensation sends jolts of pleasure through me, and I groan, my hands gripping her hips tightly. She leaves marks, branding me as hers, and I find myself wanting more.

I pull back, moving to remove the rest of my clothes. Nejire watches, her eyes wide with curiosity and desire. Her breath hitches as I stand before her, completely exposed.

"Your turn," I say, my voice low. She nods eagerly, quickly discarding the remainder of her clothing. As she stands before me, I take a moment to admire her form. Every curve, every line of her body draws me in.

I guide her back to the bed, pushing her gently down. I kneel over her, positioning myself carefully. Her eyes are locked onto mine, her anticipation visible. I enter her slowly, allowing her body to adjust. She gasps softly, her eyes fluttering shut for a moment.

As we begin to move together, Nejire wraps her legs around me, pulling me deeper. Our rhythm is steady, building with each thrust. Her nails dig into my back, urging me on.

We change positions effortlessly, guided by instinct and desire. Nejire pushes me onto my back, straddling me. Her movements are smooth and confident, taking control. I watch, entranced, as she rides me, her body moving fluidly.

She leans down, her lips finding my neck again. She sucks and nips, leaving more marks. The pleasure is intense, and I can barely contain myself. Her breath comes in short bursts, matching the pace of her movements.

"Izuku," she breathes, her voice trembling slightly. "I want you to... to feel what I feel."

I understand her need, her desire for mutual pleasure. I flip us over, pinning her beneath me. Our movements become more frenzied, driven by a shared hunger. She clings to me, her body trembling with each thrust.

Her breath quickens, her moans growing louder. I can feel her close, her body tensing. I lean down, capturing her lips in a fierce kiss as we both reach our peak. Her body convulses around me, drawing out our pleasure.

As we come down from the high, I slow my movements, allowing her to catch her breath. I press soft kisses to her neck, her shoulders, her cheeks. Her skin is flushed, her eyes shining with a mix of satisfaction and contentment.

We rest for a moment, our bodies entwined. But the desire isn't sated. Nejire shifts, turning onto her side and pulling me close. Our mouths meet again, reigniting the spark.

Hours pass, filled with exploration and discovery. We change positions, experimenting and finding what works best for us. Each new angle brings fresh sensations, fresh bursts of pleasure. Nejire's moans fill the room, a symphony of our shared desire.

After who knows how long, Nejire's lips press against mine once more, soft and insistent. I pull her closer, savoring the warmth of her body against mine.

We lie there, tangled in each other's arms, trading lazy kisses and soft touches. The are you still watching screen on the tv stays forgotten. Nejire's breathing evens out, and I feel my own eyelids growing heavy.
