Just Fifteen.
A Wallflower Fanfiction
By xxLilMizCaityxx
It only takes fifteen minutes…
Fifteen - Your name is strange on my tongue, as mine is on your own and we are awkward and confused but there's a spark in your eye I can't explain.
Fourteen - You talk loudly, and it hurts my head, but your hands gesture vividly, and I feel like I can see your words before my eyes.
Thirteen - The unlucky number, so you stumble on those words and the story is brought to a halt as I'm angry like I always seem to be around you but we'll get through just like we always do.
Twelve- Right back on track, and the others have left the room, because they can't take the electricity that pulses through the air, and I wonder if it dazzles you like it does myself?
Eleven - The sun shines through the window, and I realise just how golden your hair is in comparison to the weak light it radiates.
Ten - There's a stain on your shirt and there's a tear in my skirt and we point out our flaws at the same moment, ignorant to our equal want to express the highlights we inexplicably see in each other.
Nine - We've known each other a few years now, and I hate you still with that passion I found on the first day we met. Now however, I'm wondering if that hatred was not some other emotion masquerading in order to fool us both?
Eight - The minutes tick away, and you grin lazily, sweeping your hair from your eyes in one fluid movement, and I follow your long fingers with my eyes wondering what the sensation would be like.
Seven - You've moved closer on the chair and my heart beats faster and I can see your breath quicken with each passing second.
Six - You touched me just then, for the first time in a long time and it burnt yet I froze and the shiver still soars down my spine as you gaze at your hand wondering if you really just took that leap.
Five - So, I reach out and touch, and the same sensation grips me, and I wonder if this is real, if you're real, if this could really be happening.
Four - I don't date ugly girls.
Three - You're speaking again, and I forget a troubled past in favour of wandering away in the tales you spin of futures rich and new, where you spend every day lounging as you please and I wonder if I'm at your side.
Two - With a slip of the tongue we're closer than we've ever been.
One - … So this is what it feels like to kiss the one you…
… to fall in love.
A/N: Beyond fun to write. It would have been up sooner, but we all know how screwy FF likes to be . So, if you liked, please read and review my other Wallflower work. And this one too, of course. Thanks! :)
