My First Kiss

A young Natsuki was in the playground, eating sweet cookies while watching the ants collect all the crumbs that fell from her food. She wondered why ants were always attracted to sweet things just like her cookies. She stared into the clear blue sky and watched as the clouds move slowly. Her vision was blocked then by a chestnut haired girl. She sent her cold glare to the girl that dared disturb her peaceful sky-gazing. She was taken aback when the said girl just smiled at her and took a seat beside her.

"Isn't it a lovely sky? Have you ever wondered why the sky is color blue?"

The young blue haired girl didn't respond as she stared into the wide sky above her. She then noticed the brunette was staring at her.

"What?"

Instead of replying, the chestnut haired girl giggled as she stood up into her seat.

"Let's play!"

The young Natsuki wondered why this girl was being nice to her despite of her cold response. She stood up and gestured that she doesn't want to play.

"Why would I play with you? I don't even know you."

The girl that had a very unique pair of crimson eyes put her right index finger under her chin, making her look like thinking seriously.

"It's because you are so cute!"

The blue haired kid stared incredulously at the girl. She wondered why the girl found her cute in spite of her acting like a spoiled brat.

"Are you crazy?"

"Ara, why would you think I'm crazy?"

Natsuki watched as the girl covered her face with her hands and her shoulder started trembling. Natsuki panicked, she didn't know what to do. She doesn't know how to confront someone and make them feel better. It's just not her way.

The girl continued on sobbing as Natsuki thought of a better solution.

"Alright! Alright! I'm going to play with you just please, don't cry."

After hearing what Natsuki had said, the girl looked at her with a toothy smile. No sign of tears and her eyes shone with happiness as she smiled sweetly at the girl.

"Yay! You're going to play with me!"

Natsuki was dumbfounded. Few minutes ago, the girl was crying and trembling but now, she didn't see any hint that the girl really cried. She just ignored and play along with the new kid who she just met a while ago.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The chestnut haired girl smiled at her and said, "I'm Shizuru, what about you?"

"I'm Natsuki."

"Ara! What a cute name, Natsuki-chan!"

Natsuki just groaned and asked her soon-to-be playmate, "What do you want to play?"

"Let's play Hide and Seek! You're going to look for me, Nat-chan!"

"Alright, I'll count one to ten and you need to hide before I finish counting."

The young Shizuru started to walk as Natsuki starts counting from one to ten.

"1…2…3..."

They continue to play and enjoyed each other's company. It was Natsuki's turn to hide and so she hid under the mini slide. It was already late afternoon and so when Shizuru started looking for Natsuki, she heard her name being called. It was her mother.

Natsuki heard it too and decided to go outside when she saw Shizuru's feet running into the other direction. She hurriedly went out from her hiding place and called Shizuru before she left.

"Wait! Are you going to leave already?"

Natsuki was so sad. She enjoyed the other girl's company. The time that they need to be separated had arrived and she felt sad about it. It didn't go unnoticed by the other girl so before she left, she hugged Natsuki and quickly kissed her on the lips.

"See you next time, Nat-chan!"

She wasn't able to reply as the girl was now far from her. Her face was red as she put her fingers on her lips where Shizuru had kissed her.

"See you next time, Zuru-chan. I hope we meet again."

Natsuki hoped with a smile in her lips. She had just found her first love. She hoped that they can play some other time. After a while, her mother arrived at the playground. Saeko noticed the cheerful behavior of her daughter.

"Natsuki-chan, did something great happen to you dear?"

Natsuki beamed at her mother with her genuine smile and answered,

"Yes Mama, I think I found my soul mate."
