The After Effect

The successful rescue of the prime minister's daughter boosts the confidence and morale of the military. Still, no news about the said operation was spread and all were treated under military blackout.

After the rescue, Yume was transported in a highly secured military hospital and later on was decided to be transferred back in US. Her whereabouts were kept as secret. And even her medical condition is unknown. If not for Haru's mom who gives regular updates to her son, no news were leaked out.

Yume has been unconscious for almost a month since been rescued. Series of operation was made to save her and is now in a stable condition. The doctors are monitoring her and is just waiting for her to wake up. Still, days went by and she's still sleeping.

Haru filed for military leave to visit Yume and see her condition personally. He's been blaming himself for what happened to her. He knows that the only reason for a medical prodigy student to simply change course and enter the military, is all because of him. She's been like that ever since they were little, always the caring and thoughtful one. Just to help him realize his brother's dream of finding the moon piece and also teaching him a lesson, she suddenly enrolled in the X Academy. And became successful at that. And now she lays unconscious in a US hospital because of him and he's not even there for her.

It took days before being granted with leave. Days for travel and now he is finally standing in front of Yume's sleeping body in the hospital.

(Author's side notes: Do not hope for a reinactment of sleeping beauty scene here where the prince charming kisses the princess and miraculously wakes up. Not going to happen. Haha)

Heart pounding, he held her hand as he watch her sleeps. He is contented that now he is finally here beside her and that she's alive.

"I am here now. Sorry, it took longer than what i have expected but hey, we are together now.",he bends down and kiss her in the forehead."I am sorry I was not able to protect you. Instead I dragged you into this."

The hospital room they are in is spacious and a little bit cold. It is the end of the winter season and snow is still falling outside. Inside the room, guest couch, a dining set, personal comfort room, simple kitchen and a television is provided.

Haru meet Yume's parents occasionally. They are also personally monitoring their child's condition secretly. Media blackout is being implemented.

The couple did not blame Haru. Contrary, they affirmed that no one can make their daughter do something she doesn't want to do. And they supported her decision to enter the military. They know how passionate she is when she wants to achieve a goal. They are thankful that she's safe and even jokingly ask for grandchildren.

"If possible, I hope for a twin. Her mother has twins in her family line you know that? I heard you designed a house and spend your salary building a house in the Tusca District. Good location for the children when they come."

A remark that earned a blush from the young man.

Night time. Haru was left alone to watch over Yume in the hospital. He turned on the dim light and turned off the lights. He checked all the windows and went to take a shower. He was just coming out of the comfort room when he saw Yume's bed vacant. And dodge a swift attack coming from behind. After dodging he sidestep, pivoted, turned his body around and clasp his attacker from behind. Nevermind that by doing so, a certain towel covering something important obeyed the rule of gravity.

Pressing his body to lock his attacker's movement on the floor, "Yume don't fight. Stop! It's me."

Immediately, the struggle cease. "Haru."

The man only have time to lift his lips for a smile when suddenly the girl repositioned, a hand landed on his nape and pulled his head down for a kiss. A full lip kiss. Shocked, Haru was not able to react at first. His mind shutted down. But eventually his body started responding to the kiss. Kissing and nipping. His hands roamed around Yume's body on their own. He arranged her in a comfortable position in the carpeted floor. He thought he is beyond shocked when another sensation rocked his world: the girl's tongue explored his. She is giving him a french kiss! Their first kiss instantly leveled up!

Haru cut their kiss for a breath. Panting he inquired worriedly, "How are you feeling?"

At least, a small part of his brain regained its function during that brief period. And recalled that the girl in his arms is still recovering and just woken up. He moved to stand up but was stopped.

"Haru, stay." Then two hand seductively made their way from his chest and explored his back pulling him closer for an embrace.

And just like that his mind blanked again. And followed her again on the floor. Their roaming hands became frantic along with their kisses. Not long Haru's raining kisses on Yume's face trailing down her neck. He tugged gently on her hospital clothes and it went discarded on the floor like his towel. Nothing separated them anymore. Self preservation automatically moved Yume's hand to cover herself.

"No, i want to see you. You are beautiful. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Obediently, Yume removed her arms exposing herself to him. Haru rewarded her with kisses and nipping on her lips and neck. He experimented kneeding one of her breast and when a soft moan escape her lips, he became bolder and started sucking her. Her panting and errotic moans encouraged him to shower her other breast with the same treatment given the other one.

Lower, his hand and lips worship her stomach and legs. He listened while her breathing became frantic. He looked back at Yume's face and was mesmerized with what he saw: cheeks and neck flushed, lips parted and eyes seductively half close, looking at him. Anticipating him. He again close the distance and captured her sweet swollen lips for another round of deep kisses.

Haru's heart is pounding hard. He traced his fingers down her stomach to that part between her legs.. Yume tense.. Between sucking and nipping her breasts, Haru soothed her, "Shhh.. Relax." Again, Yume followed him. His feiry girl is being so obedient.

He found her wet and ready for him. He decided to tease her more, touching her bud. Her breathing became labored. Moist appeared in the corner of her eyes. He stopped his ministrations but she hold his hand urging him on. He kissed her eyes and proceeded french kissing her while touching her intimately. He then felt her clung to him, breath hitched, body tensed, her lower body spasmed and wetness covered his fingers.

His mind was blown away realizing that he just gave his girl her first orgasm.
