I Know We Only Met
- Nina's POV -
"So, Nina… How do you like Anubis so far?" Fabian asked me quietly, putting his pen down. He smiled shyly at me, not able to keep his eyes aimed towards mine. His cheeks turned slightly red, and I grinned. I had only known Fabian for about a week, and as far as I was concerned, he was one of the nicest boys I had ever met. Plus, I must admit, he's pretty cute.
"It's great, other than Patricia and the others…" I mumbled, gazing back down at my textbook. Ever since I came, Patricia has been bombarding me with these ridiculous questions that I will never be able to answer. And she doesn't seem to get it either, I tell her I don't know anything, and she continues on. I know she isn't stupid, but she really needs to get that through her head.
"She's still bothering you?" He questioned softly, lifting his head slightly. This time around, I could feel his blue-colored orbs staring straight at me. It made me a bit uncomfortable, I really didn't favor attention.
"Yeah, but it's nothing I can't handle." I responded promptly, looking up to meet his gaze. He smiled slightly at me, but it wasn't a happy smile, it was one of concern.
I hated when people worried about me. I know it means that they care, but I could handle myself. It wasn't as if I had some nearly incurable disease, or that I was stuck on the streets homeless, I just had a repetitive, pesky girl after me.
I know she made me cry already. The first day I was here, she tipped a pitcher of water over me, and I nearly broke into sobs right at the table. Thankfully, my Gran had called me, so I got a free pass. But Fabian saw me cry then, he had come into the room.
So embarrassing.
I hardly ever cry. Last time I had cried was when I was thirteen, and my parents passed away. After that, I was out of tears. Nothing could hurt more than losing my mom and dad. They were the people who let me exist, and they were gone before they could even see me walk down the aisle. That sickened me.
I must have dazed off, because Fabian never moved his eyes, and his concern seemed to only have grown.
"You alright, Nina?" He asked quietly, gently putting his hand over mine. I could feel my cheeks burn up, probably becoming as red as a poppy.
When his hand went over mine, I couldn't help but notice that a shiver had crept down my spine.
I couldn't think of the words to say, so I nodded instead. Why was his motion making me so… speechless? It was just a friendly gesture, wasn't it? What else would it be, a show of romantic interest? Romantic interest… I couldn't even see that happening between Fabian and I.
But somewhere deep inside my head, my mind craved to crash my lips on to his.
As if Fabian could read my mind, he had leaned in slightly, as if to kiss me. I mimicked him, and we sat like that for a bit, nobody wanting to make the first move. There was completely silence. His hand stayed on top of mine.
Eventually Fabian pulled away, and he glanced away, his cheeks already becoming a rosy red. He wasn't alone, I could once again feel my cheeks rising in heat.
"Umm… Well… I should get going…" I whispered, closing up my textbook quietly. We couldn't fight the awkwardness we had caused, we would eventually forget about what happened, but right now, it wasn't going to work.
Fabian didn't say anything, and I silently got up. He eyed me, his cheeks not calming down.
I pushed my chair in, and started on my way. But then I had the perfect idea, and went back over, and stood over him. He gazed up at me curiously, and I beamed brightly at him, before planting a kiss right on his cheek. Before he could say anything, I left the room, nearly skipping from the slight adrenaline rush.
I could see from behind me that he was not expecting that.
Hello, I hope you enjoyed my first one-shot for this series! This series of one-shots is quite random, and will vary often, other than the fact it is all Fabina related! Yay! I will be updating every Wednesday, until I decide to close it! Sooo… Cheers to more Fabina!
