Pangya – A day in the life – Part 2

Posted on | October 20, 2008 | 1 Comment |

Here’s the belated second installment to my Pangya fanfiction if you care to read. For backstory on the characters in my made up world, see two posts below. For the game, visit http://www.pangya.jp or http://www.albatross18.com. Duostar is the name of the clan that Cecilia belongs to. They make various items and clubsets for the game.

Chapter 2

Kooh sat forlornly at the kotatsu and considered her situation. The kotatsu was situated in the living room of Cecilia’s apartment; most of which was normal, to say the least. A few bookshelves housed photo albums and a dogeared novel or two. Dotted here and there were the odd golfing trophy, all squared away, impeccably neat and tidy. She reflected briefly that Cecilia’s underwear drawer was probably similarly afflicted. If Cecilia indeed wore underwear under those impossible outfits of hers.

She fought back a blush. Of course Cecilia wore underwear. She was the nicest and most sane of all the players here. And anyway, if she didn’t then some of those shorts would definitely chafe badly…

Kooh sniffed sharply and tasted metal. She cursed silently and retrieved a handkerchief from her skirt pocket to wipe away a stray drop of blood from her nose. As well as her forever youthful body, her genes had also seen it fit to gift her with a bleeding disorder.

There was a clatter from the kitchen and the sounds of making hot drinks. Kooh’s mind snapped away from the alluring thoughts of Cecilia’s underwear back to her present predicament. Cecilia was well known throughout Pangya to not only be the kindest and most gentle one of them all, but also the maker of possibly the worst coffee in existence. It was jokingly rumoured that only Duostar clan teaspoons were hardy enough to stand more than a few seconds in the concoction and its effects on a human gut were probably beyond the imagination.

The sane person’s choice when Cecilia offered a coffee was to always have a suitable excuse in reserve; or failing that, run like the wind. Kooh’s problem was not sanity, but that she couldn’t quite bring herself to refuse Cecilia anything, even if it meant putting her own life at risk. She smiled ruefully to herself and wondered whether getting eaten alive by Arin was such a bad fate after all.

There was a shuffling as the sliding door to the kitchen opened revealing Cecilia clutching 2 steaming cups of…something. Luckily, Kooh didn’t have much time to worry about what exactly was inside the cups, since her attention was quickly diverted upward. Sometime after she had left Kooh in the living room, Cecilia had changed from her admittedly pretty indecent golfing attire into some altogether indecent nightgown type ensemble. Kooh gulped mightily. Yep, definitely not wearing underwear now, she thought to herself, grabbing for the handkerchief.

Cecilia put down one of the mugs in front of her and gave her a warm smile, which quickly turned to a look of concern. “Kooh-chan, are your nosebleeds playing up again? You really should take better care of yourself. Here…” Cecilia leaned across the table and took the handkerchief from Kooh, daintily spat on it and started to rub away the last few stray specks. Kooh for her part got a good look down Cecilia’s ridiculously low-cut negligee.

‘Well, for Cecilia this probably is reserved’, Kooh thought to herself as Cecilia tutted over her. ‘At least if I faint from blood loss I might have an excuse not to drink her coffee…’

The handkerchief was folded neatly into quarters and placed on the kotatsu. Cecilia sat back down onto her cushion and cupped her hands around the mug in front of her, taking the daintiest of dainty sips. Kooh watched her cautiously, but even after a few seconds there didn’t seem to be any ill effects. Carefully, she blew the steam from the mug and took a sip. It was hot chocolate. She breathed a sigh of relief.

“You shouldn’t take Arin-san too seriously, Kooh-chan,” Cecilia almost-scolded. “You know it’s just what she does to everyone”

Kooh looked deep into her mug. “I don’t…really care” There was a pause. Cecilia waited, knowingly. “I…don’t know what I’ve done to make her hate me so much,” Kooh finished, finally.

“Oh Kooh-chan,” Cecilia giggled, “she doesn’t hate you, in fact, I happen to know she’s quite fond of you…She just has a problem with showing it.”

“That’s how she treats people she likes?” Kooh replied, incredulously. “God forbid I should get on her bad side then…” she muttered.

“You should give her a chance, you know,” Cecilia said, sipping her drink, “If you can find a way to control her acid tongue, she’s actually a rather nice person.”

“Why bother?” muttered Kooh. “I’m over that phase of my life now. I really don’t need a troublesome girlfriend like her at the moment.”

“You’re not lonely, Kooh-chan?” Cecilia said simply.

“No! I…maybe just a…a little.” Kooh looked straight up at Cecilia, startling her, “But…you’ve always been there for me, Cecilia. I…If I’m going to be with anyone then I want it…to be you.”

Cecilia watched Kooh fidgeting nervously across the table while her mind raced through all the possible consequences of her reply. Of course she had known for a long time that Kooh had had a crush on her, but whenever she had mentioned it, Cecilia had been able to brush it off good-humouredly. Looking back, perhaps she had just been delaying the inevitable.

“Kooh-chan, I…I’m flattered that you think that way about me,” she started. Kooh opened her mouth to protest, but Cecilia gently shushed her with her index finger. “But…I can’t think of you in that way. I’m sorry Kooh-chan.”

“You must find this body…repulsive,” Kooh whispered sadly.

Suddenly, Cecilia rose from the kotatsu and gathered her up in a bonecrushing hug. “Don’t ever say that, Kooh-chan! You are the most beautiful thing in the world to me and I’m not going to let you put yourself down like that.” She removed her glasses to flick away a tear. “I’m responsible for you, Kooh-chan. As we boarded your ship to look for survivors after the accident, I promised your parents that I would take care of you. No matter what I can’t betray their trust. You understand, don’t you?”

Kooh nodded, slowly pushing the older woman down to the floor, then inching up her satin-clad body until Kooh’s red met Cecilia’s cerulean blue. Cecilia smelled hot chocolate, spices and the slightest hint of sweat; felt the shivering caress of her breath across her lips. She felt her heart quicken and her own heat rise inside against her will.

“We can’t do this, Kooh-chan” she breathed softly, failing even to convince herself. She knew that even with Kooh’s whole weight on her, she would only have to marshall a little strength to displace her, but that strength never came.

Kooh moved closer, so that their noses were almost touching. “Just…this once,” she whispered, before closing the gap. To start with, Kooh’s lips just touched Cecilia’s, savouring them slowly. She bit down gently, appreciating the whimper that this evoked. Her tongue played across Cecilia’s in an achingly slow dance that sent shivers down spines. The kiss seemed to go on forever, tongues meeting tongues, lips meeting lips.

Kooh’s hands resisted the heady temptation to venture lower and Cecilia was grateful for the self-control. She knew that if Kooh really wanted to go all out, then she would have had no chance. Kooh could be very aggressive when she wanted to be.

The two parted slowly, panting for breath and flushed pink. Kooh moved in as if to kiss her again but stopped herself, almost crying with the effort. Cecilia hugged her as Kooh sobbed quietly into her shoulder.

“Thank you”

Kooh looked at her with puffy eyes, “Thank you for what?”

“Thank you for your feelings, Kooh-chan.” Cecilia replied, stroking her hair. “They show me what a wonderful woman you’ve become. You make an old woman proud.”

“You’re not old, Cecilia.” Kooh said, puzzled, “Your profile says you’re 26.”

Cecilia laughed sweetly. “I’ll tell you a secret, little Kooh. Unlike pirates, you don’t get to be a captain in the Duostar clan at the age of 25…”

Kooh smiled. “So…how old are you then, Cecilia?”

Cecilia leaned over and whispered something into Kooh’s ear. Her eyes widened. “No way!” she yelled, incredulously. “No wonder you wear such awesome clothes then…”

Cecilia laughed. “I love you, Kooh-chan,” she said, her voice unwavering.

“I love you too, Cecilia.” The two hugged briefly. “I should be going…” said Kooh. “We’ve…got a tournament tomorrow and…I should talk to Arin.” They said their goodbyes.

Cecilia sighed in relief as the door slid closed behind her. There was some Duostar machinery that was going to get a serious workout tonight.
