"Lust without love is pleasure.
Lust with love is passion. Love without lust is pristine. Love with lust is poetry."
-Fakira

"Huh, what an interesting way of describing the difference between love and lust..."

I pondered as I surfed through the Internet, waiting for Juno to come back from getting lunch.
It was now a tradition for us:
We would eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together while we talked about our daily lives and what new things were happening.
I then remembered to check the mail, groaning as I closed my laptop.
I hate going all the way downstairs to check the mail...even though we lived 3 floors up.
I could always take the elevator, but because of my fear of falling to my death like in that one episode of The Twilight Zone, I didn't want to take the chance.
After making it downstairs to the lobby to check my mail box, I exhaled deeply as I climbed up the stairs, my legs already aching from the tiring exercise.
I finally make it to the third floor, attempting to grab my keys out of my back pocket before a voice stops me.

"Why hello there, babygirl~"
(¬ω¬)

"I swear to God Kou, if you slap my butt again, I'll 'accidentally' break your arms..."
(>_<)

I exasperated as I turn around, finding my pervert neighbor Kou, who I have known for a year now.
There was one word to describe the young European man with the dirty blonde hair and the crystal blue eyes...horny.
Ever since I moved in across from his apartment, he's been flirting with me nonstop whenever I came out of my home, constantly trying to lure me into his territory and...you get the idea.
Kou smirked as he holds both his hands up in defensive.

"Oh~ Feisty today, aren't we? No need for such violence! I was only wondering if you would like to come to my house party tonight~
There'll be food, wine...and some very hot gentlemen~"
(¬‿¬)

Of course he's asking me to come to his party. He ALWAYS asks me! And my answer was always the same.

"No thanks, I'm not planning on catching any diseases tonight..."
(;¬_¬)

"Awww you're no fun, Mackenzie! I do provide protection too, you know! Hmm...how about your roommate? Would he care to join?~"

Is this horny man really asking me this right now...?
Does he really think I'll let Juno come to his party...?
There was definitely no way I was going to let Juno go.
Yes, I know I sound like an overprotective mom right now, but if there's one thing I knew about Kou, it's that he'll ruin your innocence...permanently.
I didn't want Juno to come back hurt and even scarred for life, he was too pure and innocent for that...
I shake my head as I flick Kou's forehead, causing him to flinch.

"Juno will never go to your parties...so you better leave him alone!"

"Awww why not? Is he perhaps your...boyfriend?~"

"...No. But he is my best friend and close roommate, so I'm just trying to protect him from the likes of you..."

"What am I, the Devil?~"

"I'd say you're a lot more worse than the Devil himself...so you better leave Juno alone! Don't talk to him! Don't flirt with him! Don't touch him! Nothing!"

I demanded before shutting the door, leaving Kou alone in the hall...
The nerve of that guy! I hope he doesn't do anything to Juno...
I mean, he is technically NOT my boyfriend, so he can go wherever he wanted to go, I can't just hold him back from doing what he wants...it wouldn't be fair to him.
But Kou's words still lingered inside my head...I know that Juno isn't my boyfriend, but I didn't just think of him as my roommate or my friend either...
Am I perhaps having feelings for him?
What do I really think of Juno as...?

[Outside the hallway]

"You do know that Juno's a man too! Every man has his needs! There's no such thing as an innocent man! We're all perverts! Girls are perverts too!"
(≧σ≦)

Kou bellowed as he takes a few deep breaths. He then gives up.

"Oh forget it..."
(¬д¬。)

"Forget what, Kou?"

Juno asked as he then comes out of the elevator, carrying a huge paper bag in his arms as sweat drips down his face, his dark bangs sticking to his forehead.
Kou stares at Juno with surprise...then smirks as he leans against the doorway.

"Oh nothing Juno~ Whatcha got there?~ Is it a bag full of toys?"
(¬ω¬)

"Eh? Toys?"
( ・◇・)？

Geez, Mackenzie wasn't kidding about Juno being innocent...
Kou thought as he then innocently smiles.

"Oh never mind~ So what is it?"
(￣ω￣)

"Oh! It's for lunch! Me and Mackenzie are having lunch today! I can't wait to see her eat, she's just sooo adorable whenever she eats!"
(*^^*)

"Ah, well, would you like some pink lemonade? I made it myself~"
(¬‿¬)

Kou offered as he then hands Juno a small glass of pink lemonade...or was it?
Juno stares at it before smiling and taking it.

"Oh thanks Kou! This would go great with our lunch! You know, you're not a bad guy after all...sorry, Mackenzie always warns me about you. Well, bye!"
(*^▽^*)

Juno smiles as he goes inside the apartment, Kou chuckling to himself as he rubs his hands together.

"Oh yes, enjoy your lunch, you two~ Mwahaha...MWAHAHAHA! Ack! I just swallowed a bug..."

[Back in the apartment]

"Mackenzie! I'm back!"
(*^▽^*)

"Oh Juno! Good good! Come place the lunch on the table! I'm starving!"

I replied as I watched Juno come into the living room, placing the paper bag on the coffee table, smiling.
He then takes out a huge bento box and opens it and let me tell you...it was like I was in food heaven.
There was shrimp fried rice, Japchae and Bulgogi and for dessert, Bungeo-ppang!
I started to drool the more I stared at the beauty...

"Uhhh Mackenzie? You're drooling on the table..."
(^^ゞ

"Ah! Sorry sorry! Let me go wash my hands first! Then we can eat!"

I said as I then rush to the bathroom to wash my hands...

[After Mackenzie leaves...]

Juno smiles as he then looks over at the small glass of pink lemonade he received from Kou.
He then hums to himself.

"Hmm pink lemonade huh? I wonder how it tastes..."

Juno said to himself as he then takes a drink from the pink substance...

[Few minutes later...]

"Phew! Sorry I took so long! Alright Juno! Let's eat!"

I said as I take a seat across from him, digging into the delicious bento box.
Oh my god...this has to be the best lunch I have ever had in my life...
I smiled as I then poured him a cup of tea...until I'm pinned to the ground by Juno, who held both my wrists tightly.
I blush as I squirm under him.

"H-Hey! J-Juno?!"

This wasn't the innocent Juno I knew though. This Juno looked hungry...hungry for me.
His face was bright red as sweat drips down his forehead, his brown eyes clouded with lust staring down at me as he softly pants.

"Mackenzie...my body...feels so hot..."

Juno said in a low whisper as he then leaned towards my neck, gently licking the side of it. I gasped as I tried figuring out what was going on.
I then spot a small glass on the table that had some pink liquid in it...
GOD DAMN IT KOU!
I KNEW YOU WERE UP TO SOMETHING!
I tried pushing Juno away, blushing.

"J-Juno, h-hey let's try to control ourselves here, okay...?"

"But Mackenzie...you taste...so sweet"

Juno said as he then started touching my thighs...shoot, I'm not enjoying this, but at the same time...I am enjoying this.
I couldn't let Juno get out of hand though, he has to be stopped!
I had to think of something and fast...then it hits me.
A cure!
But what is the cure to this kind of thing?!
Juno starts kissing my cheek, causing me to blush even more.

"J-Juno..."

"Mackenzie..."

He slowly leans in, his lips parting as they inch closer and closer to mine...

"Juno...I'm sorry!"

I apologized before using my free hand to swiftly grab my small Valerian plant near the tv and put it under Juno's nose, causing him to inhale it and his eyes suddenly started getting droopy.
He then falls asleep on top of me, softly snoring as his head rested on the two soft pillows on my chest...I blush as I gently push him off, trying hard not to die from a heart attack.
After putting him in bed, I softly smile as I then placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Don't worry Juno, I'm not mad...you just couldn't control yourself, that's understandable..."

Because whenever I'm around you...I have to control myself too.

[Extra]

"Ah, Mackenzie~ How did you and Juno's lunch go-"
(¬ω¬)

I kick the pervert right in the groin, causing him to gasp and hold his baby maker, coughing as his body shakes with pain.

"O-Okay, I deserved that-"
(u_u)

KICK!

"O-Okay...I deserved that too..."
(u_u)

KICK!

"...I'll leave Juno alone from now on, I swear..."
(~_~;)

"Yeah, that's what I thought...babo"
(¬д¬。)
