Under The Dreary Rain [Magnolia & Shuten | Private]

Magnolia had since been on a long trip, quite long enough for both women to certainly gain more than enough longing for each other. Shuten missed Magnolia dearly, being quite acute to her absence by that of Shuten's bed being occasionally bereft of Magnolia; and vice-versa. However, in the very morning that Shuten had been finding herself missing Magnolia more than recently, she received a text from her lover.

She had returned from her rather long journey. Even with such methods of communication like phones, Magnolia had kept a relative radio silence. She likely had some texts from her lover, brief assurances that she was okay; but nothing like a call. Shuten was worried. She had missed her darling blonde beauty for so long and and was now worried about why she had kept such a long radio silence. Of course, her text sounding upbeat helped a bunch. Regardless, the Suika worked until she was free for the later afternoon and all evening. She made sure all business was taken care of, and instead of dolling herself up to try and look her best for Magnolia, which did briefly occur to her, she took off with her fastest step techniques.

She missed Magnolia too much to wait for formalities, to make herself wait just to look prettier or even come her slightly unruly hair. She didn't care. She knew Magnolia wouldn't care if she looked somewhat disheveled. She was worried, but also missed Magnolia likely as much as Magnolia missed Shuten herself. She had no idea of her lover's own reservations for some feelings of her own. However, the Suika was more worried for the safety of her lover at the current moment than anything else.

Such reasons were why Shuten showed up five minutes earlier than when she had told Magnolia she would be there. She idly felt over her purple hair, feeling strands sticking out at odd angles. A bit of rain easily fixed the problem as she stuck her head out from under what little cover she currently had near Magnolia's house and effectively got her purple hair wet to straighten it out. It could stay wet, she didn't care. The Suika knocked on the door to announce herself before opening it gently, smiling even as rain dripped from her hair, horns, and her face a tiny bit; quietly wetting her clothes in small drops.

"Mag, baby; I'm here~ A bit early, but I'm here."

Shuten smiled gently still, closing the door behind her calmly as she quietly waited for her girlfriend to give her some sign of her presence; and likely give the woman a rather large hug and a kiss. The order didn't matter much. She just knew she would definitely do both of those things quite a lot this night.

The creak of floorboards, the beat of rain on the house, and the almost silent footsteps that broke from the house that got quieter and quieter as Shuten's anticipation rose higher and higher. She didn't dare move from her spot, afraid that she was in naught but a dream before waking up in bed; alone once again. However, she soon saw Magnolia in all of her blonde glory, even if her golden locks were soaked almost as thoroughly as Shuten's own hair. The Suika's heart raced as she beheld her lover, once more frozen in place until Magnolia had swooped Shuten into her arms with as little effort as she had in the past. It was like the empty void that had filled Shuten's heart was now repaired just by this single embrace alone; and she truly, honestly, felt at home in the arms that held her tight. She felt at home in the lips that kissed her sweetly; lovingly.

Sure, as any being does, they dearly miss contact with their partner; they miss all kinds of contact. However, so many of those desires melted away as she kissed and kissed her loving Magnolia. She got so into the kissing that Shuten soon found herself on the tips of her toes thanks to the excitement of the entire moment. Her heart beating as if it meant to be in tune with Magnolia's own heart; something that comforted Shuten aside from the already potent physical content made by a hug and a kiss. As they kissed, Shuten's arms were tightly wrapped around Magnolia's neck; so much so that if the woman straightened, she would likely pick Shuten up. However, they stayed like this for so long... it felt like the entire world could pass them by, and their lips, and bodies, would still share in this dance of longing and love...

As all things do, they end; but this was not a sad ending. The kiss was broken, and Shuten found herself catching her breathe; much like she used to back when Magnolia was basically trying to help Shuten learn how to kiss. The intensity alone was enough to take Shuten's breath away. She smiled brightly at her lover, hearing that small whisper as she could only see Magnolia's face curtained by a shower of gold. A kiss stole Shuten's lips before she could respond, but as soon as it broke, and Shuten was able to speak once again, her voice too broke free like a whisper; unable to cease her bright smile.

"Welcome home, my love; my dear Magnolia~"

One last kiss was held, since Shuten did respond in kind to Magnolia saying she was home, and that kiss too was eventually broken; leaving Shuten silently yearning for more... but she momentarily ignored the urge to have more until she was sure Magnolia was ready to continue.

However, a question came that Shuten was not entirely prepared for. Does it bother her that Magnolia kills so much? This was a rather odd question, truth be told. Shuten's entire profession was that of an assassin. A murderer from the shadows; someone who tore life away from targets without discrimination. After Magnolia asked that question, Shuten simply stared into her lover's eyes with some minor confusion. She gave Magnolia's lips a brief peck and smiled gently, caressing her lover's face like it was the most precious material in existence.

"Oh, Magnolia, why would that ever bother me~? I'm an assassin by trade, after all. Do not worry, my love. All the blood in the world could never truly sully your beautiful hands. None of us are pure, but I was ready to accept you for everything you were, and are, from the moment I told you three very important words. And those three words are...~"

Shuten gave Magnolia a kiss that was much like the one she gave to Shuten first; slow, sensual... comforting. She wanted to explain that which she could not with words with action; with the very lips that could convey her meaning better through a kiss than through speaking. Eventually, after a rather long and drawn out kiss, the Suika gently broke the kiss; holding Magnolia's beautiful face in her hands. She smiled warmly, lovingly, and gently stroked the woman's cheeks as her purple eyes spoke nothing but love for the woman in front of her.

"I love you, Magnolia Everfrost, with all my heart; and nothing's gonna change that~"

If Shuten was able to sense emotions, she could likely tell what emotions were falling off of Magnolia as the Suika spoke to her the truest of truths to her love. She comforted her gently and loved her deeply; humming pleasantly as if she could feel the relief pour over Magnolia. When Magnolia's eyes opened, it was like the woman had conveyed all her words without speaking them; as if Shuten knew her heart just by looking through Magnolia's shimmering golden eyes. Soon, her lover found her voice, and too proclaimed her love for Shuten. Even if it wasn't a new thing to know, it still comforted Shuten's entire being; and warmed her to the tips of her fingers and toes. She smiled widely, and lovingly as tears of her own gently streamed from her purple eyes; tears of relief. And then, came another kiss; one that set Shuten's body on fire.

It wasn't quite the same as the previous kiss. It was still loving, but it had become far more longing; far more intense. That little lip nibble kicked it off nicely, and then the following kiss was enough to send Shuten into a brief spiral; the woman kissing back fiercely as she casually tangled her fingers in Magnolia's mess of golden locks. She did not give two shits about how wet it was. All she cared about was this moment, not the beating rain, nor their wet clothes and hair. All she could really hear was Magnolia's heart, her breath, and the very presence of her being. All Shuten could take in in this kiss was the moment of intense love that stole her senses and replaced them with Magnolia.

She was soon raised from the floor as Magnolia took her full stature; holding Shuten by the hips quite easily. Gently, the Suika woman hooked her heels behind Mag's thighs as they kissed and kissed. Shuten too felt frustrated, not in the angry sort; but in one that she felt all too familiar with in the past months. It was odd, but not unwelcomed as she embraced her lover and kissed Magnolia for all she was worth, until... An eternity of kissing was over all too soon, and when it was broken, Shuten noticed quite the difference in her body heat; along with the soft blush that now adorned her cheeks. She had a vague idea what was going on with her. Such an intense kiss was bound to bring forth Shuten's long, three month frustration. However, Magnolia's suggestion was quite wise, and Shuten nodded up at her lover with a warm smile; gently unhooking her heels from Magnolia's thighs and smiling gently as she likely was eased onto the floor so they could remove their clothing. Because, indeed, they needed to get out of these clothes. While they may not get a cold from it, it was best that they were clean and dry for when the two needed to get back to work.

"Ah yes, good idea love. I hope we have something for me to wear here, Mag. I uh, was more preoccupied with seeing you than worrying about clothes~ Maybeee one of your spare Kimonos if you have one? Whatever you think is best~"

Shuten smiled warmly, leaning up to give Magnolia one quick peck before she gently took her lover's hand and awaited for Magnolia's lead. And, no longer having the body heat of Magnolia pressing against Shuten certainly led Shuten to realize how cold it was to be in wet clothes. By the moment, dry clothes were sounding better and better.

"Lead the way, Darling~"

The Suika smiled warmly at Magnolia. She too had that longing for the previous moment to last forever; but she knew it could not last so. At least, not quite yet. Perhaps later that night... Shuten smiled still as she followed Magnolia, her smile getting brighter, and wider, whenever Magnolia looked at her. It was easy to see she was extremely happy to be with her lover, to see her; to hold her. She was on cloud nine, and refused to come off that cloud until she knew that it was the right time to come off it. Until then, however, the Suika followed Magnolia where she was guided until they came to a stop in a very nicely sized master bedroom; with a natural hot spring, and a rather breathtaking view. Well, aside from the breathtaking view that was Magnolia Everfrost.

Once their hands left each others, and Shuten noticed that Magnolia had started to strip, Shuten set herself to the same task. The Suika carefully removed the white Haori and put it on the drying bar near the door. Afterwards, the Suika removed her top, and was soon stopped mid-movement to stare at Magnolia's back. No matter how many times she has seen it, it was hard to get over the definition; not just of Magnolia's back, but also of the tattoo that adorned it. It was quite amazing, really, and when Shuten saw that Magnolia looked at her, she smiled, albeit with a tiny blush. Eventually, the Suika joined Magnolia in a very potent lack of clothing; which did make Shuten feel a little cold. But, she knew her body would be much drier, and better off, for it. She smiled at Magnolia, and then soon felt her fingers weave with Magnolia's own, and she was taken towards the wardrobe. Upon opening the wardrobe, Shuten's jaw dropped.

To call it a walk-in closet was not doing it justice in the slightest. It was amazing, and even if Magnolia had a clear obsession with Kimono, Shuten still could easily see each one was well cared for and all were very pretty. She was alight with wonder as she was pulled into a sea of expensive fabrics; unable to take in every single pattern the crossed. Frankly speaking, Shuten was so alight with wonder, it was easy to forget her nudity, Magnolia's nudity, and likely clear signs from her body that she had been aroused earlier. However, the Suika was soon brought to a stop and brought back to the present as Magnolia held out the Kimono for Shuten. The Suika stared at it briefly, taken by the pattern, which likely gave Magnolia all the more time to ogle. However, she soon took the Kimono, gently, and put it on properly, albeit likely with her lover's help. Afterwards, Shuten was glad to feel the warmth in her being; humming pleasantly before Magnolia posed something to her.

She wanted Shuten to pick out her Kimono. Shuten blinked, looking towards her lover before she slowly walked towards the various kimonos of different colors, patterns, and styles until she came to one that had a Koi pattern; complete with colors that would compliment, and bring out, Mag's golden eyes. Shuten grinned, turning around to hold out the Kimono; during which she got her own chance to ogle at Magnolia's features. Wandering eyes seemed to be quite the pattern tonight. However, the wandering eyes did seem to get their fill, as both women did look away with a bashful blush; much like Shuten looked away with a bashful blush when she felt she had taken in enough of Magnolia's nude form and damn was Shuten impressed as always. She smiled after Magnolia had gotten dressed, and the Suika calmly leaned into her lover.

"So~ What would you like to do, Darling~? We have a whole night ahead of us. There is quite a lot we could do... Talk.. watch something... other things that couples dooo~ I leave the choice up to you, Mag~"

Shuten was quite glad that Magnolia was helping her with putting the Kimono on. She knows how it's done, but doing it alone is quite the task; and it was one that Shuten did not need to perform quite right now. She smiled at her lover, her heart aflutter, warm in her chest, thanks to the presence of her darling. And then, when Shuten helped Magnolia, she giggled a tiny bit at the kiss that Mag planted upon her jaw, giving Mag's kimono a rather ornate looking bow with the sash; just because she could. Shuten too was still a little red in the face. After all, both of them did, and rather openly, admire each other's nude forms; and blushed bashfully to boot. Regardless, Shuten was still surprisingly calm. It was like, right now, nothing could ruin the moment for Shuten; not even the embarrassment of nudity.

Shuten gave her lover a rather coy smile as she seemed to be playing around with what she wanted to do. Magnolia was certainly in a happy mood as well, to beat around the bush in such a way that pleased Shuten; oddly enough. She giggled softly, following Magnolia out of the large wardrobe, the master bedroom, and into a room they had certainly passed by earlier; a veritable living room, or perhaps a den of some sorts. Shuten was uncertain about the classification of the living space, but her thoughts were soon put aside, and completely stolen, by the golden eyed beauty before her.

Finally, Magnolia knew what she wished to do; or at least she was making a play of it. Of the two, the latter seemed far more likely. Regardless, the Suika hummed playfully as she watched Magnolia release her gentle hold on Shuten and then flop onto the large awaiting couch. Shute hummed as she admired the couch, and the golden beauty that now laid upon it's surface. Quite an entrancing site. Of course, it was made entrancing by Magnolia; but, it goes without saying that a soft couch made it all the better. However... Shuten had a very good idea who she would be laying on instead of the couch.

Shuten watched as Magnolia opened her arms in invitation, a bashful grin adorning her charming features. Who was Shuten to refuse~? Shuten let out a soft giggle, and gently walked towards her lover.

"Gladly, love~"

Shuten smiled, and carefully took a seat on Magnolia's stomach, and not the couch. Shuten had always been light, given her small stature and obvious small weight, but this pronounced it. Shuten scooched a little bit, and then slowly laid down on top of Magnolia, resting upon her side as she brought her head to lay against Magnolia so her forehead could press against the woman's temple, or perhaps higher so that Magnolia had ample access to Shuten's neck. She smiled pleasantly, draping her arms lazily around her lover; humming pleasantly as she nuzzled into her warm, loving, embrace.

"Maybe if I'm good~? Come now, Darling, I'm always good~"

Shuten stuck her tongue out at Magnolia playfully before the woman whispered into Shuten's neck, after marking it with a kiss, something that made Shuten blush a bit hard. However, her grip on Magnolia tightened a small bit, making far more of a snug fit for the two. She smiled softly, nodding gently as one of her hands moved to caress Magnolia's cheek oh so gently.

"I know, my love. I know... Much like you are mine, home is wherever I am with you."

Shuten smiled some, still gently caressing Magnolia's cheek while holding her so lovingly. It was a moment that could last forever; and Shuten was more than glad to let it as she likely long lost her legs in the sea of fabric, and to Magnolia's own legs; she had very little intention of moving from this spot unless Magnolia honestly wished for them to. That, or if Shuten really needed to get something for some reason or another. Regardless, her intent was to stay in this warm, loving, embrace for as long as possible.
