Always. Hsaio x Saiko needs more love.
“Saiko,” Hsaio Ching-Li awakens in the middle of the night to see her friend sitting at the foot of her bed.
Hsaio’s eyes still smart from crying. Tonight she confessed everything to Saiko, Urie, and Higa. They know she was part ghoul before she was a Quinx. They assured her love her, but she can’t quite believe it.
“Hi.” Saiko straightens up. “I just thought you might not want to be alone.”
“Thank you.” Hsaio opens her arms, and Saiko hugs her.
“You know, I really don’t care. You’re my friend.” Saiko hesitates, an uncharacteristic move for her.
“What?”
Saiko brushes her lips against Hsaio’s.
Hsaio gasps. “What?!”
“I told you, I love you, Hsaio.” Saiko smiles.
Hsaio shakes her head. “But – like that?”
“Does that scare you?”
“A little.” Hsaio tackles Saiko in a ferocious kiss.
“I’ll take it you agree.” Saiko giggles.
“Yes,” Hsaio breathes. She just – she hardly let herself dream – but when she did, it was of Saiko.
“Can I?” Saiko’s hands hover over Hsaio’s chest.
She nods and moves her own hands to Saiko’s breasts. “Damn, I’m jealous.”
“Pah, and I’m jealous of you, too, silly.” Saiko pulls Hsaio down onto the bed. They lie facing each other, their hands exploring each other’s bodies.
Hsaio used to consider herself fortunate to have been born a failure, destined to die young. Because then she couldn’t be used to continue the family line by sleeping with men.
But she never dreamed she would be this fortunate – to have Saiko’s hands inside her, to be inside Saiko.
“I love you, Saiko,” she says.
“I know.” Saiko winks.
