Vampire Knight Seven Minutes in Heaven Takuma

       “So I might have gotten just a little carried away with my turn, but that doesn't mean my partner didn't have fun.” Hands on his hips, Hanabusa gave the group a firm nod. “Now, let's get the next lovely lady reader for her turn.” He lifted the over full box from the ground like it was weightless and happily placed it in your lap. “Here you are.” He winked. “Good luck.”

“Thanks, I'll probably need it.” You placed a timid hand inside of the box and pulled out a neatly pressed, red tie. “Oh, this could belong to just about anyone here. Everyone here wears these ties after all. At least the guys anyway.”

“Oh my, I should have thought about that before using it as my item. My most sincere apologies.” Takuma stood to his feet, placed his hand over his heart and gave you an apologetic bow. “If we ever do this again, I'll make sure to use something more personal.” With a kind smile on his face, he quickly made his way over to you. “May I take your hand?”

His simple, polite question turned your cheeks a light pink shade. “S-sure you can. I don't mind at all actually.”

“Thank you.” After gently taking your hand in his, Takuma led you into the empty room and shut the door. “There's really no need for you to be so nervous. I'm much better behaved than Hanabusa, so just relax and enjoy yourself.” He looked over at the single, uncomfortable chair and frowned. “It looks like we were a little unprepared for this game. That chair might give our backsides splinters, so the floor is probably a better option.”

“I think you might be right about that. It looks a little dangerous to me too, like it might just fall apart at any time.” Not willing to take any chances with that chair, you dropped down to the ground and neatly crossed your legs. “So, what should we do now? I've never done anything like this before, you know, since it's against the rules and all.”

Takuma joined you on the floor, still wearing his cheerful smile. “What we do during this game is completely up to you. You are, after all, a guest in this dorm.”

“Oh, I see.” He was trying to be nice by letting you take charge, but honestly, that was the last thing you wanted. You'd much rather just follow along with whatever was happening than to actually have to lead someone into something any day. “You know, I really don't know what I want to do. It might be better if you just do something.”

“Something, huh?” He chuckled sweetly. “Well, I suppose I should be able to do something.” Takuma gently tapped his chin and pretended to think. “If you take a moment to take the nature of this game into consideration, what we should do is actually pretty obvious.” He placed his hands on his knees and leaned just a tiny bit closer to you. “Of course, I wouldn't even dream of doing anything you aren't completely comfortable with. So you'll just have to tell me when to stop. Is that okay?”

Your cheeks burned, but for some reason, you found yourself nodding. “There's not too much time left anyway, so I'm sure that will be just fine.”

“If you're sure.” His smile widened as he gently placed a hand on your cheek. “Remember, you can stop me at any time.” After making sure that you were perfectly comfortable, Takuma closed the distance between the two of you, and placed a sweet, gentle kiss on your lips. Never before had your face felt so incredibly hot. If it were possible, you were sure would have caught fire by now. Only seconds before the door opened, he pulled away and smiled. “I'm surprised, you didn't try to stop me. You must be more courageous than you let on.”

Hanabusa leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms in front of him. Oddly enough, he looked jealous and a little annoyed by the two of you. “Careful Takuma, her face is pretty red you know. The last thing we need is for someone to pass out.”

“That's very true.” He gave Hanabusa a solemn nod, then looked back down to you. “I'm sorry if I flustered you, but you did ask that I take charge.” His bright smile already back on his face, Takuma helped you to your feet and like a true gentleman, ushered you out of the closet. “That being said, I'm a little curious to know where you would have taken us had you been in charge. But I suppose it's too late for that.” Looking a bit mischievous, he gave your hand a gentle kiss before letting you go. “Maybe the next time we meet each other, you can be a bit more assertive.”
