Is standing around near a lake, waiting for someone…

Hide
08:04PM
*touches her hair, one more time to make certain that it’s just so, and steps out* Mmmm… what a beautiful sunset. *takes his hand, and turns to him with a smile, before kissing his cheek* Looking for someone to enjoy it with?
H
Hajime
08:06PM
Leads them down the pathway, walking. “The woman of my dreams once told me she’d follow me to Hokkaido.” Grins slightly and takes her hand as they keep walking.
H
Hide
08:07PM
Hmmm… and here it’s said that it’s nothing but ice and snow, but this… *smiles, and looks up at him* Is a delightful place. But I’d still follow, even if you leave me with all of the “snow shoveling” *laughs and squeezes his hand*
H
Hajime
08:09PM
“We’ll shovel together.” *looks thoughtful, “It’s still summer and I don’t remember if Tokyo ever get those deep winters.” *looks at her* “Your Kyoto was an odd one, the weather tended to be extreme? Why was that?”
H
Hide
08:11PM
Ah, good, I heard it takes great strength *squeezes his arm* *thoughtful* Kyoto is always… humid. So I guess if there’s enough for summer rains, there’s enough when a cold wind to blow through and create snow. For some reason I think we get more than Tokyo..
H
Hajime
08:14PM
“I agree. I remember when I was younger, I’d run around the streets with hardly any clothes on in winter.” *laughs* “It always felt like summer and my brother would say I’m dumb, running around snow barefoot. Ah here we are – just a modern day onsen. I didn’t want the Hokkaido in our time, imagine the Rurouni and that Gatling merchant running around and ruining the place.
H
Hide
08:17PM
*smiles, enjoying thinking about him being a child* I could see you as the sort of boy who wouldn’t let himself be slowed down by the weather – you were probably outside in the rain, too. Meanwhile, I was the child who was inside, making teru teru bozu. *laughs* *looks around* Oh, I do like this… and the setting. No Gattling guns -please- I’ve heard enough complaints. *laughs*
H
Hajime
08:19PM
Imagine if you lived in my neighborhood and the one time you came out with your dolls and I’d get it all wet. I wonder if you’d cry because it would get ruined in the rain? *chuckles* Hold on a moment…. *Checks them in at the lobby* Are you hungry? We can eat first?
H
Hide
08:22PM
Oh dear, poor Hide-chan, with Hajime-kun teasing her so… *grins* Would our mothers shake their heads and know that Hajime-kun teases Hide-chan because he -likes- her? *grins softly* *looks out the lobby, to the water beyond, and smiles* Yes, let’s eat first. *pats his stomach* And the clothes don’t look too tight today…
H
Hajime
08:25PM
He does like her but probably doesn’t know how much. Hide-chan would cry and he’d take doll and snip off it’s head and tell her – “because Teru Teru didn’t do his job!” and run away. *The receptionist leads them to the restaurant and says “Sir you can have your pick of where to sit, due to the pandemic there’s hardly any guest. We also have a set menu so please just wait patiently”.
H
Hide
08:29PM
And Hide-chan would repair Teru Teru, and sneak over to hang it by his window… because she likes him too and wants him to have a good day for kendo practice *laughs* Ah, children… *looks around the room, and leads him to one of the curved booths overlooking the water* *slides down the seat, glad she’s wearing clothing of this time which allow such movement* *pats the seat next to her* Come on, I assume we’re in a “pod” and don’t need to “social distance”…
H
Hajime
08:32PM
*Sits down with her* Of course you’d pick the booth. *suddenly gives her a peck on the cheek before the waiter comes and leaves some tea and food on the table* *Saitou looks at the food and sighs* I think you can do a better spread… 
H
Hide
08:37PM
Booths like this are for couples, aren’t they? *grins, but becomes a soft smile at his kiss* *watches as the food is brought out* It’s a bit dainty… but I think it’s the “fine dining” of this era. But that beef… I’d love to find such good pieces in our Tokyo. *sets some of the beef on to cook* *takes a bite of one of the vegetables* But it’s all of good quality.
H
Hajime
08:41PM
“Thank you for the compliments ma’am”, the waiter comes back carrying a basketful of crab “This is our specialty here. We think we can beat Osaka. There’s nothing like hokkaido crab!” He sets the crab leg crackers and picks besides us, “If there’s anything you need – please just push this button on the monitor beside you”. He bows and leaves. “Well the service certainly is different in this era.” I start with cracking the crab legs for her and I, “in the old days the ladies would be with you throughout the meal…”
H
Hide
08:45PM
“And would those ladies have picked the crab for you? Hold it over your mouth with chopsticks?” I ask, grinning. “But I guess the effort makes it worthwhile… ” I’m still a little surprised at the bounty of seafood after the first round of delicate dishes… as he cracks crab for me, I take the slices of beef from the fire, and put some on his plate. “Mmm…” I say, eating the crab. “That is fresh…”
H
Hajime
08:48PM
“Ah…” I look away a little knowing I probably should take care in answering that question, “Not particularly.” I take some of the beef she’s prepared for me and eat it. “At least this taste like true wagyu beef. Here…” I place some beef on her plate. “I suppose we’re having what they call surf and turf?” *Keeps on cracking the crabs and piling the crab meat on her plate.*
H
Hide
08:52PM
I move some of the crab over to his plate. “You’re doing all of the hard work – I’m just didn’t have to burn the beef,” I smile. Looking at he piles on both of our plates, I nudge his hand. “Eat, or I’ll have to feed you like those ladies did,” I grin, knowing he skirted my question. “But we are alone in here, so…” I get some in my chopsticks and hold it out for him. “Didn’t I used to feed you like this, way back when we couldn’t finish meals?”
H
Hajime
08:55PM
“Fine fine.” I stop picking on the crab. We can’t finish that entire box of crab anyway. As I’m about to start, she holds up the food for me and I smile. “I wasn’t sure you if you’d want to… feed me.” I take the crab meat from her chopsticks. “Oh that is fresh.” I grin. “Ah but you probably shouldn’t let the tuna go to waste.” Taking the tuna I add a little wasabi on it before offering it to her. “Make sure you follow that up with some tea.”
H
Hide
09:01PM
“Feeding you is one of my great joys, even if I’m not sitting on your lap right now to do it,” I say, “but this isn’t drippy soba. soba, dripping with tsuyu.” I do eat some of the tuna, which is also fresh, and served with brothers would say, “good” wasabi… but I -do- need tea right after. “That -is- strong, ” laugh, blinking a little at the force of it. “But this… is a delight,” I say, taking more crab before offering him another bite.
H
Hajime
09:06PM
I look at her, one of her greatest joy? “Mmm…” I chew on the food she’s offered, “Then the women in your family must have done that for generations.” She takes the tea after the tuna, obviously the wasabi was a bit too much. “Here you finish up the last of the crab. I don’t want you to get -gas- later.” Which I think wasabi will do. Suddenly the waiter is back, “Would you like anything else sir?” I blink, he just seems to appear at odd times, didn’t he say we just press a button. I’d about to tell him I didn’t press the button but I think that’s not going to accomplish what i want, which is for Hide and I to be left alone. “Actually, I just want to make sure our room is ready? And by that, I mean the refreshments?” – “Well of course sir. In fact if you want dessert.” I cut him off, “As for dessert – just send it via room service and maybe some cheese and fruit.” “As you wish sir. Here’s some flavored water to cleanse your palettes.” — I wave him away.
H
Hide
09:11PM
“I learned of the joy of cooking from my grandmother – it was more of her passion, my mother was more invested in her gardens.” I lean forward to kiss his cheek. “Although it wasn’t until I met someone who made me want to perfect my soba skills that I learned how much fun -serving- my food could be.” He offers me more crab on the basis of avoiding gas… I don’t have -that- problem anymore, but I’m thankful for his consideration. And then the waiter is back… he must be bored with this place nearly empty. Hajime orders dessert upstairs… I bite my lip. He must want to be alone as much as I do. I sip the water, but I’m not used to the flavor. “Thank you for dinner – do you think our room is ready?”
H
Hajime
09:17PM
“Yes ma’am.” Another woman appears, young. It seems like all the staff here is rather young. “Please follow me.” I take Hide’s hand in mine and we follow. I should know where our room is but I guess this is what they call hospitality which is just popping in and interrupting conversation whenever. “Here’s the keycard for your room. There’s some wine, a cheese board and fruit if you like. Just call for us whenever you need.” I nod and quickly pull Hide into the room and try not to slam the door as I lock it shut. I sigh. “Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve taken you out to these types of place…” I shake my head and go straight to where there’s some lounging chairs and start smoking, “I’m a little impatient with people. Here get comfortable?” I pat the somewhat angular sofa, “At least the view is nice -maybe-?”
H
Hide
09:21PM
The staff is… quite helpful and chatty. But still, I’m glad to have them out – I didn’t come here to talk to them! I stand at the glass, looking out at the water, and I unpin my hair, to let it hand down and move some in the breeze. Having left my shoes at the door, I sit and take off my stockings, and stretch out on the funny sofa. “The view is nice. I also like the company.”
H
Hajime
09:25PM
She lets down her hair and I watch her as I smoke. I’ve always liked watching her do that. I take the extra pair of slippers and bring it over, kneeling down I put it on her. I already left my shoes at the door. I stand up next to her and look out as the sun is almost gone from the horizon. “I don’t think you have a choice in the company.” Suddenly I joke, “I’m the only one left after all.” I chuckle a little.
H
Hide
09:29PM
He carefully puts slippers on me, and this gesture … I just look at this man, who I know loves me so. As he kneels, I softly touch his hair, his ear, his shoulder. “This is the only company I want,” I say. He tries to make a jest about being the only one left. “You’re the one I want… however shall I convince you?” I turn to him, and get my arms around him, and pull him down for a kiss, long and sweet.
H
Hajime
09:32PM
She’s kissing me suddenly and I don’t want to burn her hair so i let my hardly smoked cigarette fall on the floor. I’m sure the floor is sturdy enough, it won’t burn. I wrap her in my arms and continue the kiss until we’re both a little out of breath. “I’m not sure you can. But does it matter? You’ve already “snared” me.” I tilt my head a little and smirk.
H
Hide
09:37PM
“Snared you? Were you on my dinner plate tonight?” I laugh softly, resting my head on his chest, to feel that heartbeat. “Ah, but I find myself just as snared and…” I smile, “thoroughly enchanted and delighted by this man in front of me.” I lead him through another kiss, taking my time to savor him – his taste, his smell, his warmth… and how he makes me feel… and how I can make him feel. “Ah, my ookami-sama… I love you, Hajime. Your hime-sama is all yours…”
H
Hajime
09:41PM
She makes a smart come back and I can only grin at that. We kiss again and this one a little different, not sensuous, one that takes it’s time and conveys meaning. She tells me she’s all mine and I wonder… Should we? I -did- take her here… We know what happens when we’re alone and couples alone in an onsen? They don’t just take a dive in the bath or the pool. I hold her at arms length and look her over, then touch her face. “I do want to inspect you if you’re up for it. But it might be too soon?” I ask.
H
Hide
09:46PM
He wants to inspect me and I nod. “I’m ready for it, but I know it has to be good for the both of us, and you won’t enjoy it if you think something is amiss with me,” I say, and kiss the palm of his hand, and then I meet his eyes. “And I want you to enjoy it.” I step back into the room, and take off my dress, leaving on the slip underneath, and I slide the panties down my legs. “It won’t… feel the same. Not as … tight. It comes back in time. I have exercises that I do… ” I grin, “that’s where that ah, special squeeze you like comes from.” But I know he accepts me, for he does love me, and the child we share was worth it. “Should I lay on the bed, doctor?”
H
Hajime
09:55PM
She wants me to enjoy it? I’ve -always- enjoyed it. Just seeing her, much less touching her. But that’s not what I want to know today. So we go into the bedroom – unfortunately with two beds, but we only need one. She undresses to her slip and i remove only my shirt. She starts to explain and tries to make light about it. “It’s alright Hide. I’m not looking for that.” I tell her. “Lay down in your front, not on your back.” I start inspecting first her legs, making sure it’s not longer swelling. I touch it with my hands, “And please don’t call me doctor.” I hated that, that old man got to see, though I know it was needed. Content that there’s no swelling in her feet and legs, I pull up her slip up to her shoulders and star to massage her up there. Not that I expected anything amiss there, only that I wanted to relieve her of the stresses she’s been through so I knead the small of her back, up her mid back and up to her shoulders – releasing the knots there. I can’t help but plant a kiss on the nape of her neck however and smell her.
H
Hide
10:01PM
His inspection isn’t what I expected… first he focuses on my ankle and legs, and as I lay, face down on the bed, his strong hands are gentle. I know he can be, I saw him hold our daughter just minutes after she was born… “Then I’ll just call you the name I love to, then… my Hajime,” I say, the last part coming out in a happy sigh as he works on my back. The moan I release is not a sensual one, but one of relaxation… our big girl is a bit heavy, after all.. and then comes the kiss. I turn over. “I’ve been waiting a long time, you know, to have you front-to-front, you know…” Yes, my breasts are still enlarged as I’m nursing, but the bulk of our daughter is gone. I remove my slip, and put my arms around his shoulders, where I start scattering kisses over his shoulders, his neck. “Did I pass?” I ask, whispering in his ear.
H
Hajime
10:09PM
She calls me properly by my name and I heard that sigh. This woman loves me I know and I her. She suddenly turns over and I mentally chastise myself for not abstaining kissing her. But what’s done is done and I plant a light kiss on her lips now that we’re facing each other. “Oh you weren’t content with all the gymnastics and twisting I had to do, just to satisfy you?” I tease and touch her forehead, paring down her wavy hair. She removes her slip and starts kissing me where she can reach and i let my hand go down to touch her breast that’s still swollen. I squeeze it a little. “Well this one, is still a little swollen but you’re still nursing.” And i look down her front past her belly and I haven’t felt your insides yet.”
H
Hide
10:17PM
“I was very impressed by your flexibility … and how those fanbooks ended up being useful,” I laugh. This is what I love… loving him, but we also -enjoy- each other, the teasing, the laughing. “One day, I’ll look forward to some creativity, but tonight… I want to see your face.” I brush back his bangs, and kiss the tip of his nose. Shivers run though me as he touches my breast. “Your daughter is very hungry and demanding,” I say, and I’ll miss the closeness from her once I wean her… but there’s still time. “Well… continue your inspection. You’ve always been so thorough …
H
Hajime
10:27PM
“See this ugly face? Only my mother loved me you know.” I say as she kissed my nose. “I’m glad Ai-chan takes from her mother then.” I say and only take a moment to plant a light kiss on her breast. I’ll leave that part of her for now. I go down and inspect her waist to see if there’s any scars and there’s some but I make no mention of it but make a mental note of finding her some oils and once again I’m looking at those legs and feet, just to be sure I didn’t miss anything. I look up at her one last time and say, “This will just be a minute.” Spreading her legs, i push her pubic hairs away so I can take a better look at her slit. For a minute I’m tempted to taste her as I come face to face with her bud that seems to call out to me. Instead though I take my fingers and push in between her netherlips. I let my fingers explore inside her, noting the space in her cavity. She feels a little loose but I won’t force my hand in further inside. It might hurt her… “Hide can I enter you?”
H
Hide
10:30PM
“Maaa… such modesty. You’re handsome, even my father thought so,” I laugh. But I’m quiet as I let him inspect. Since wearing a binder around home, my middle has continued to contract. I’ll never be slender, but at least I don’t look pregnant anymore. I hold my breath as he goes down, down… I feel his breath, and then, his fingers. “Yes. you may,” I say, in response to his question.
H
Hajime
10:33PM
Standing up, I remove the rest of my clothing – my pants. I sit down, resting my back on the headboard. “I’ll need you on top.” I tell her and pull on her hand to guide her. “Sit on top of me.” I say holding my hard member in place. “I’m not going to thrust, I just need to feel your inside.”
H
Hide
10:37PM
I watch him as he undresses… and he’s ready for me, and as he sits on the bed, I drink him in. He looks as good as he always does, and just looking at him, those eyes… I go where he guides me, and straddle him. Slowly, slowly, I let him enter me, and I keep my hands on his shoulders for stability… Ah… there’s no pain, and I can -feel- him – it’s not what I feared. It’s different, but, oh, still so -good-. “Oh Hajime..” I say, sinking down to where I’m on his lap. with him fully inside me. “Do you feel me?”
H
Hajime
10:43PM
For a minute I’m concerned she might get embarassed, but she straddles me as I instructed and we’re face to face as she wanted – and i wanted. It does feel different, like it’s “softer” inside her – what I didn’t anticipate was that i’d still feel very hot, like there was electricity when I’m sheathed in her. I groan a little, thinking i said I wasn’t going to start thrusting. That wasn’t the point. But she asks if I feel her and I grit my teeth, “yes of course and if you speak to me like that…” I might just lose it. I stare at those brown eyes and breathe in deeply. I take the hands that’s on my shoulder and hold it in mine. “Now i want you to try to do that thing you used to. Contract those muscles so I can see the difference.”
H
Hide
10:48PM
I’m panting as he’s inside me and we’re not moving. I do get a groan of out him. But he fixes his eyes on me, and for a moment I’m lost in that, as we’re as entwined as two people can be… and then he tells me to… I take his hands, biting my lower lip… I’d been already working on this as part of my recovery, but, of course, it’s a different thing when he’s inside me. And I do it, sweat breaking out across my brow. I’m breathing heavy, from the effort of not doing as I wish… “How… how is it?” I manage to get out, trying not to squirm, but I can’t help it just a little…
H
Hajime
10:52PM
Why are we both sweating? We’re not really trying to copulate – we’re trying to get an assessment. Not pleasure but as she squeezes me. I squint and she -squirms-. She does it one more time and asks me how it is? It’s so damn good! I open my mouth and let out a breath. “It’s feels good.” My voice cracks. “I think everything is fine. You definitely don’t need to work -that- particular muscle.”
H
Hide
10:57PM
He tells me it feels good… and I can only smile… I kiss him, as we’re trying so hard to be good, to understand what’s changed… so that he feels that this is safe. My hips jerk again, it’s so hard, and he’s so hard… “So… now that we’re here…” I kiss along his jaw. “What will you do with me?” I look into his eyes.
H
Hajime
11:02PM
She smiles and I remember those old nights when we used to tease each other. Who can get a reaction from who but that wasn’t my intent and I know her body still needs time. She asks what to do… And I’d ask her to squeeze me one more time because I might actually get off just from one more squeeze but… I think we’re both about going to go crazy and I don’t want to hurt her physically so I slide out from inside her. “Just a couple more weeks and I think..” I grin at her, “It can be business as usual.” I stand up and pick her up, carrying her to the outside pool. “I think we’re both going to need to cool this off… And watch fireworks instead?” 
H
Hide
11:08PM
He slides out, and I groan… it wouldn’t have taken much. But this needs to happen once he won’t worry about me. And while I’m certain that I’m ready, any hint of anything amiss – blood, or pain… he won’t take well. So I let him carry me to the pool. The cool water… I smile over at him. “I guess we are taking a dip instead,” I laugh, softly. We did have a night of intimacy, even if it wasn’t, as he put it, business as usual. I settle down next to him, and watch the fireworks. “Did you arrange this too?” I ask, with a smile. Next time, of course, we’ll be the ones making the fireworks. (OOC – you may close)
H
Hajime
11:12PM
She doesn’t protest which is good. I didn’t want her to think I was a man only after her body. or the pleasure she provides. I am after that, but not just that. We settle in the cool water and not too long, that tight feeling goes away and hers too, replaced with something more relaxed. I reach over and bring out the wine and give her a glass and mine. “I knew there’d be fireworks. I just wasn’t sure who’d be making them.” I say and look at her from the corner of my eye. I can wait until she tells me she’s wants to and is ready. (OO close)
