[FEB. 2] [SHOUJO KAKUMEI UTENA] SLEEPLESS

Title: Sleepless

Series: Shoujo Kakumei Utena
Character/Pairing: Kozue/Miki
Rating: PG-13


Kozue wasn't cold and she was too old to be afraid of the darkness. She therefore had no reason, no excuse, to crawl into Miki's bed. But she knew that Miki wouldn't be bothered, that he would remove the blanket for her and move a bit, as he had always done.

After she had slipped into the bed, she covered both of them with the blanket and lied down on her side so she could look at him. His skin, his hair and his eyes shimmered grayish-blue in the dim light that fell through the closed curtains of their room.
Kozues bare knees touched the fabric of Miki's pyjamas. She moved closer to him.

“Cannot sleep?”, Miki asked; whispered even though they were alone in this room, and she could feel the breath of his words on her lips.

“No”, she answered quietly. She couldn't sleep alone that is; not when she had to spend her day watching how this Anthy tried to ingratiate herself with her brother.

“Did she kiss you?”, Kozue asked suddenly, her gaze focused on Miki's eyes.

“Wha-Who?”, he asked, startled.

“Anthy”, Kozue said and she couldn't prevent herself from hissing the name.

“No”, answered Miki and the blanket rustled as he shifted a bit.

Good.

“Have you ever kissed anyone?” If he hadn't kissed Anthy, she supposed that he hadn't kissed anybody else either, but she wanted to be sure.

“No”.

Good.

“Would you like to try?” she asked and her voice sounded completely different from how it had sounded this afternoon when she had asked Youji if he wanted to fuck her in the music room. Of course he had wanted to.
But it had been useless. Nobody had seen her; not Miki, not anybody who could have told Miki and Youji was as unable to touch her as every other boy had been. She wasn't even amused by him.

“Kozue?”

Kozue moved her fingertips over Miki's cheek, brought them slowly to his eyebrow.

“Close your eyes”.

Her voice was almost soft. It was as soft as it could ever become. One last insecure look and Miki did as he was told.
Kozue's hand slid into his hair, as the blanket rustled again and she closed the distance between them.
