Follow Your Instincts

This is my very first Shokugeki no Soma fanfic and my first fanfic in more than three years so please pardon me if my writing is rusty. I have started to write more mature fics before, and I want to continue this writing style for now. That and the whole time I was watching Shokugeki, I really can't help but think when SouEri would get together. So at least in my head, here we are.

Hope you guys enjoy and don't forget to review!

Erina started to look back at her life living in the Polar Star Dormitory and fully felt it was a place that she was accepted and grew more as a chef. Everyone was so friendly, and she was learning a lot of new possibilities with food from each of the residents' unconventional cooking ideas. Especially from the cooking of one Yukihira Soma. However, now that they have defeated the previous Elite Ten, which led to the demolition of Central and Erina becoming the school's new headmistress, going back to Toutsuki also meant that she would have to move back home.

She would have to leave Polar Star Dormitory and all the friends that she made in the rowdy dormitory. It was a bittersweet feeling since she grew fond of the place and its residents. However, she was also looking forward to the possibilities she could do as the school's leader.

On the night of her last day in Polar Star Dormitory, she started packing her things and continued to do so even after sending Hisako Arato home for the day. She told her that she wanted to spend one last night at Polar Star Dormitory alone, gathering her thoughts, even after the party they had prior to that day. Yesterday was a fun day celebrating as usual with the raucous students. They did the same shenanigans of food taste tests and card games but it became even more boisterous as it was their last party as Erina's residence in Polar Star came to an end. Although, since she explained to everyone that she had an early meeting as the school's headmistress tomorrow, everybody respected her own private time and let her sleep in peace as her last night in Polar Star continued to pass by its remaining time.

Although, that was not the case for one Yukihira Soma. He never was the type to follow the majority. He knocked at her door in the middle of the night.

Erina opened the door, wondering who it was since she specifically noted that she was going to need a peaceful night before leaving the dormitory. She saw the red-headed classmate in front of her door and wasn't surprised that he wouldn't follow her words. She remembered how he would keep pestering her with dishes left and right ever since they met each other. Every once in a while, during her days in the dormitory, he would even visit her room and ask her to taste her dishes and continue to tease her even when everyone had called it quits for the day and slept for the night. He was determined to get the most of that god tongue of hers.

She started with a sigh, "Yukihira Soma, what is it this time? I told everyone I have to sleep early today for my early meeting tomorrow. If you want to talk, we can talk some other time in school." She then crossed her arms and gave a pout that he was very familiar of.

He grinned. "I have one more dish for you to taste before you leave. Even if I could give it to you some other time in school, I really want you to try this before you leave Polar Star."

Erina sighed even more. She knew she wasn't going to be able to change his mind. She never was able to. She knew that when Soma has decided something, he never backs down from it. "Fine, come in. But you only have ten minutes. I really need to sleep soon if I want to be ready for tomorrow's early meeting."

Soma then gave the fresh bowl of yakisoba to her and she ate a bite of it. As usual, she gave pointers of how he could improve it but never said it was delicious or disgusting. He saw the look on her face as she first tried it though, and knew that she enjoyed his food. He knew she liked his cooking right from the moment they met, but she was too prideful to say anything. But it was enough to him for now because he knew that one day, she'll say his cooking was delicious.

Erina looked at him grinning even after he gave her suggestions, and couldn't help but respond, "Yukihira, why are you smiling and looking at me that way?"

"I'm going to miss you, Nakiri. I know you like my dishes deep down inside and that I still have a lot of chances for you to tell me my cooking is delicious but… I'm going to miss having you nearby here in the dormitory. It's a shame we didn't get the opportunity to get even closer than we could."

Erina suddenly blushed from the comment. "Closer? What does he even mean?" She then saw his face flushing, matching the blush she already had on her face from his comment.

He also noticed her face as well. He noticed this many times before, but since he saw it in front of a lot of his women friends, he figured it was just a common girl thing. Although, he then saw the mirror behind Erina and saw his own face. He saw that it was red as well, and he felt his heart beating rapidly. He thought it was because he was just pumped up with cooking food for her, but somehow it felt different now that she was about to leave tomorrow. He clenched his fist and put it on his chest, feeling his beating heart become even faster. "Huh, who would have known?" He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to speak, "Do you want to know why I don't listen to you exactly even after asking for your suggestions?"

"Yes, please. Do tell," she asked, crossing her arms, then looked away, trying to seem all proud yet her face still red as an apple.

Soma stretched his hand to pull one of hers. This took her from surprise. "Because… if I listened to you. I would not have listened to myself. To my instincts."

The comment annoyed her. "But your instincts are stupid and brash!" she responded.

He smirked. "But don't you admit that they've gotten me far, improving my cooking?"

Erina paused. She couldn't really argue with the results he had done and all the crazy battles that paid off as a victory. Not only did they beat the Elite Ten, Yukihira Soma really went beyond her expectations with each shokugeki she saw him compete in. "I guess… But why ask for my help in the first place if you would dismiss it? Listening to what I say would make things easier, and less crazy."

Soma continued to grip her hand and looked at her seriously. He also started to narrow the gap they had in between them. "I ask for your help because I want to ask for help from you. I respect you. I respect your suggestions. I might not 100% do them because I want to follow my feelings, my instincts, but I value you and your judgment. I will somehow incorporate it in my own way."

She slapped his hand away and started to turn around from him. "Hmph. I guess there's no use talking to you, I feel like I keep repeating myself and you never listen."

Soma then took her hand again, just as she was about to turn around. He pulled her closer to him. "Do you want to stop repeating yourself?"

She blushed even more from the close distance between them. "It would help me not be as riled up."

Soma smiled. Erina saw that it was different from his taunting smirks and grins before and wondered if there was a reason for a change in facial affect. "But you look cute when you're all riled up, Nakiri," Soma said then closed their gap by kissing her.

Erina's eyes widened as Soma started to kiss her. The last thing she knew was hearing him say her name and now she was having her first kiss. And it was with Yukihira Soma, the guy she said she would never accept his cooking when they met, the guy who constantly annoyed her whenever she heard his name. All the manga stories that she read, all the kiss scenes she wooed for, she was finally experiencing it. She never knew that her life would unravel to become a shoujo manga, but despite all her surprise, she felt good about what was happening right in front of her. She kissed him back and Soma continued to kiss her deeper.

Being the novice when it comes to love Erina was, she eventually tried to push him back and gasped for air, feeling that the moment was too much for her. But Soma did not let her. Finally having a gap with Erina's mouth open, Soma slipped in his tongue inside her and made out with her even more fervently.

"Yukihira…" she whimpered as his tongue played with her own god tongue. She never tasted anything like this. Her mind was not prepared for this moment, she couldn't analyze the taste of Soma's kiss like she would do so with every dish that she had previously tasted. Erina's body started to feel hot and heavy and it was overcoming her. Her instincts were overcoming her mind and she continued to kiss him as he nipped on her lower lip.

"Shhh," he said then traveled his kisses on her ear and her neck. He nibbled at them playfully. "Do you really want to stop Nakiri? You must be honest with yourself. I haven't been quite honest with myself anyway, and I know this stops now." He said as he started to feel one of her breasts.

Erina normally would have tried to slap Soma from his crazy antics, however, her body was reacting highly on his touch. She welcomed his warm hand on her as he continued parading his lips throughout her body. Erina was feeling something she never felt before. Even more than the hot flushes she felt when being angered by Soma's actions or by him just being near him or just merely thinking about him. Something beneath her was really heating up.

"Yukihira…what are we doing?" she tried to say with a moan.

He looked at her gravely then took her petite body in his arms. She put her arms around him as well as he carried her bridal style to her bed. "I'm being honest with my feelings. What about you, are you?" he said, as he continued to eat her up on the comfort of her bed. It was like Erina was a dish that he wanted to relish and master both at the same time.

"I…I dunno," she said giving away another moan as Yukihira started to flick her bosom's apex through her clothes.

He stops kissing her for a second. "I'll help you find out. Is there anything you want me to do to you? Are you feeling good?"

She looks straight at him, their foreheads touching each other. She nods her head slightly. "I feel hot. My whole body is hot and I…"

Erina felt a wetness underneath her underwear but she felt too embarrassed to say it.

"Maybe we can remove some clothes to help you out with your overheating problem," Soma said and started undressing the buttons of her top. He continued kissing her all over as he did so.

As her bra was exposed, Soma continued playing with it and then eventually asked, "May I?"

Erina nodded. Soma undid the clasp of her brassiere and started to suck on her breasts.

"Are… are you feeling better?" he asked as he continued to draw his hands and mouth on both breasts.

"Yes…Yukihira, I never knew this could happen. But I…I don't want it to stop," she whimpered.

"It doesn't have to. What else can I help you with?" he asked, continuously being sensitive to her needs and wants.

After being exposed above, Erina felt that she could finally say what she was feeling. "Maybe also the bottom?"

Yukihira smirked and pulled down her skirt then saw her wet underwear. He continued by licking the underwear, pressing his tongue against her wet member.

Erina's hips vaulted up and she moaned even more. She thought she was happy already, however, she was experiencing more bliss than ever in her life.

Soma then stopped and she felt unsatisfied. She pouted. "Yukihira-kun, don't stop… please?"

He then removed her underwear. "You're beautiful, Nakiri." He then began licking her clit.

"Ah! Yukihira-kun, yes, yes, yes!" she started to say louder as she squirmed and gripped her bedsheets tight.

He continued to ravish her underneath, his tongue trying to explore the walls inside her until she climaxed.

"I hope, I was able to satisfy you."

"…ahhh. yes," she said after giving a big sigh.

Soma then stood up from the bed. "Now, what about me?" He then began to strip quickly, exposing his full erection. "I need to be satisfied too."

Erina stared at his huge rod in marvel. "I… have never seen a man's… penis before. I… don't know how I could even satisfy you."

Yukihira sneered. "You're called the god tongue, right? Use it to help you."

Erina then started to lick the tip of Soma's member, a few licks at a few different places. She then started to make sweeps of tongue action at specific places as he hears Soma moan from delight. "Am I doing this correctly?" she asked, trying to leave her soft breath on it as well.

Soma felt the sensitivity of his groin area and felt himself tingling. "Ah! Nakiri, yes. Exactly. You really do have a god tongue. This is heaven."

Erina then continued to lick his dick even faster and then tried to put it in her whole mouth. She then recalled how he just kissed her earlier and tried to combine that to her current action of sucking her mouth up and down his manhood.

"Erina, yes, yes, yesss!" he said then eventually poured out a lot of cum on her mouth.

As her god tongue tasted the cum coming out from Soma, she knew that it was a taste she could never grow tired of. She continued drinking and swallowing all of Soma in her mouth. She even eventually licked her lips clean after doing so. "Delicious. I think you finally got what you wanted, Yukihira-kun."

He smiled at her and positioned himself beside her on the bed.

"Not quite how I imagined it, but I'll make you say that about my cooking as well," Soma said as he brushed a strand of hair from Erina's face. "How did you ever get to be so good at that with it being your first time, Nakiri?"

Erina stammered, "Uh… I read a lot of shoujo mangas and fanfics and uh… Alice… uh… Alice…"

Soma laughed. "Huh, I guess your cousin would be knowledgeable about a lot of these things after growing up with Kurokiba for so long and being able to handle him with or without that bandana."

Erina pouted. "What about you? How did you even… know how to do all of… that?" she continued shyly, trying to finish the sentence but also being afraid to face Soma.

"Are you… jealous?" he asked with a snicker. "You know I only knew all of that from Isshiki-senpai. He always was wearing that loincloth and parading his genitals all around. Eventually, the guys and I confronted him and asked him how he's so confident with his body. Since the girls weren't around that one time, he ended up giving us thorough lessons on how to please a woman," he explained directly.

"So… you never did it with anyone else?" Erina asked, somewhat happy from the disturbing story he learned from about his senpai.

Soma placed his right hand on her cheek and cupped Erina's chin. He brushed his thumb softly on her face. "Nah. I learned everything I did through theory, and also through trying to read your movements."

Her eyes widened again, but this time from surprise that Soma was analyzing her movements. "My… movements?"

"I tried to see how you would react to each thing I did and I would just do more of what felt good to you. I also listened a lot to what you had to say, verbal or non-verbal."

Erina smiled. "I guess that was what I was doing too. We're pretty fast learners aren't we?"

"Yea. Though, I still have one more thing I wanted to do with you."

"And what is that?" Erina asked, looking down and noticing that Soma's member was still lively and energetic.

He positioned her in the middle of the bed then put himself above her. He started to kiss her again everywhere. On her forehead, to her eyes, ears, mouth, neck. His hands also started to play around her whole body, this time going from the breasts, to her stomach and all the way to her thighs. He spread her legs vehemently and started to put a finger inside of her. His finger slid in her and he moved in a motion to explore her more than before. Her hips jerked at his intrusion, but he steadied her with his weight and with a pace that gradually started to move faster.

As Erina's hole opened up even more, Soma finally thrust himself inside her. She squealed his name and cried from experiencing the sensation of him pushed upon her for the very first time.

As Soma buried himself even more inside of her, he groaned as he got all the way inside. He thrust himself fervently into her, pulling and pushing in her as her walls matched the shape of his member. Her legs wrapped around his waist and she embraced him into her arms, kissing him all over as they continued to buck their hips together. He understood her need for it to be harder and faster and obliged to the need of her body. Her nails dig into his back deeply as they continued to jolt against each other, arching their bodies and ramming to each other. They both called each other's names as a mantra on their lips. When they climaxed, they did it together, two waves crashing inside of them, Erina feeling Soma's juices up into her stomach.

They then take a moment to catch their breaths, lying down on the bed, panting after the vigorous lovemaking they had endured.

Erina took Soma's hands to her heart and she felt his palpitations. "You were wonderful. I'm glad that you followed your instincts."

He leaned forward to her to kiss her lips again, this time much softer, yet not at all diminishing in affection. "I'm glad you did so as well."

A/N: Whew! Hope you gals and guys like this. I'm excited about the current release of the anime and I really hope they do more SouEri development scenes eventually. Please don't forget to review! It would definitely help me a lot!
