I toss and turn in bed, trying hopelessly to fall asleep. Finally, I give up.

Shaking my blonde hair out of my face, I glanced at my alarm clock. 12:56 AM.

I groaned. "Miyu Kouzouki, what's wrong with you? Why can't you sleep?"

I decided to take a walk around the temple to soothe my senses. As I passed by Kanata's room, I paused. Kanata.

I had been living with him for eleven months, but I was yet to tell him that I love him.

How can I tell him? He's the great Kanata Saionji, a popular, smart, handsome, near-perfect guy. And I'm lowly Miyu Kouzouki, an ordinary, perfectly plain girl. There's no way I can compete with Chris or Akira or all the girls who like him.

I'm too plain for him, I think. I try to convince myself.

But what am I doing? I'm knocking on his door.

I'm calling his name. "Kanata-kun."

He opened the door, and I immediately thought, he looks handsome even when he just got up. His hair was rumpled, as was his pajamas. Wow.

"What do you want, Miyu?" His tone was a little unfriendly, which I really should have expected, since I woke him up in the middle of the night.

I was planning to ask him to have a cup of tea with me, but what I did was completely impulsive. I stood on tiptoes, placed my hand on the back of his neck, and kissed him on the lips. Some sort of explosion went off in my stomach, and I deepened the kiss further.

I broke away after a minute. He was staring at me with those chocolate eyes that enraptured me. He was asking me, without words, Miyu, what are you doing?

"Good night, Kanata," I whispered, and went back to my room, leaving him looking amazed and bemused at the same time.

I smiled as I settled into my bed. Tomorrow, I will tell him that I love him, that he is my soulmate.

But for tonight, he can sleep with the memory of our very first kiss.

I've always wanted Miyu to make the first move on Kanata, 'cause she's so shy about her feelings for him. I'm proud of this story, it took me just under an hour to write. :p
