The Kiss Thief

look over here

It looked like my idea of avoiding Axel for as long as possible ended up failing as soon as he found me sneaking my way to my next class. Without even looking at him, staring down at my shoes as if I'd done nothing wrong, I could feel his anger from where I was standing. Not that I could blame him since word had spread around the whole school that some boy had kissed me behind the gym that day.

I don't think boyfriends like their girlfriends getting kissed by other boys.

"I didn't kiss him I swear," I pleaded, knowing exactly why he approached with with a hint of fire in his eyes. "He just... and... I didn't know... he just..."

"Would you stop with the stuttering, I believe you," he stated, even though it was quite obvious that he didn't believe me. He tousled the top of my hair, once again treating me like an insignificant and immature child oblivious of the intentions of others.

The again, compared to him I was still a child.

"Who was it?"

"I... I really don't know..."

"You... don't know?"

"Correct."

"He kissed you... but you couldn't see his face?"

"He was wearing a hood and it was so sudden and..." I looked up, a small smirk gracing his features as he stared down at me with his emerald eyes.

God, he was gorgeous.

He reached towards me, grabbing me and pulling me so my body pressed against his. His fingers traced down the side of my face, causing me to blush a shade of scarlet that seemed inhuman. I should have been used to the embarrassment by now considering he did things like this to me in the hallway often just because he enjoyed seeing me blush... but I was no where close to being used to it.

"Would you mind explaining to me what happened then, Princess?"

--

Naminé, I have something to tell you that's super important! Meet me behind the gym after third period!

Love love, Kairi!

I smiled, folding the note up and stuffing it into my pocket. I wonder why she just hadn't told me last period or even mentioned meeting behind the gym instead of leaving me a note that could possibly not be received.? Luckily, I had stopped by my locker after third or else I would have completely missed her request.

I"m a fail friend.

"Oh goodness, she's probably still waiting!" I mumbled, slinging my backpack over my shoulder and quickly jogging so I'd hopefully make it there before class started. Not that it really mattered, I was late so often teachers probably gave up on giving me detentions to get me there on time.

That's what I get for dating a delinquent like Axel.

I turned the corner, realizing that the back of the gym was vacant. "Dang it!" I whined, walking a little further to see if she had maybe been hiding on the other side of the air conditioning unit. "Why do I always fail so badly!?"

Kairi asked me one favor and I couldn't even fulfill it!

I should have known it was going to be a bad day as soon as I woke... or didn't wake up depending on how you look at it. My mom with her high pitch screaming replaced my alarm clock. I slept through the obnoxious beeping a full thirty minutes before she realized I had no intentions of getting up any time soon.

I muttered curses under my breath, wondering why today had to be such a bad day.

Before I even had the chance to turn around to head back to class, my world turned black.

–

"Oh, you're awake." a voice, in what I would describe as semi-excitement, stated. It kind of sounded like the voice you'd use when your aunt just gave you an animal encyclopedia made for a five year old on your seventeenth birthday.

"What happened?" I mumbled, sitting up and soon regretting it. A throbbing pain shot up in the back of my hand and side of my face; I fell back down to the ground.

"You sure took a beating. Must be a hot boyfriend if they're that jealous." He helped me sit up, placing his hand behind my back so that I had enough time to steady myself without getting dizzy. "A thanks would be great. I didn't have to help."

I turned towards the owner of the voice, my eyes trying their best to focus in on his face, but his hood cleverly shadowed over all the important features I would need to identify him. The only thing I could tell was the fact he was blonde from the little tips of hair the poked out of the rim of the hood.

"Thank you," I mumbled, slightly embarrassed as he helped me stand up off the ground. "Um... who are you?"

He must have felt me tense up because he let out a chuckle as if the whole situation amused him. Maybe it had at the time because what came next I honestly had not expected.

He leaned forward and kissed me as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Before I even had the time to react he'd already pulled away.

"No one special," he answered, pulling away and stepping back. "You can just call me Doctor."

His voice was so smooth I could almost forget the fact that he kissed me.

As soon as he disappeared I regained my senses, a fit of rage over taking me. "YOU IDIOT I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"

–

"So..." Axel said, leaving an uncomfortable gap in the middle of his sentence, "he just told you he was 'no one special' and nothing else?"

"Yeah." I didn't really want to tell the 'doctor' part to Axel, mainly because I was scared of giving him too many hints on to who the guy was.

If Axel ever found out who had kissed me that guy was surely a dead man.

"I'll figure out who it was, Princess," he said in such a confident voice I could almost believe it to be true, his hand stroking my cheek as if I was some sort of pet. "For now, let's get some ice for your cheek so you don't look like a wreck tomorrow."

No matter how he worded it, I knew that was his nice way of saying he didn't want to be embarrassed that his girlfriend had an ugly swelling on her face so he was going to make sure to get rid of it.

He dragged me along behind him, not really being considerate of the fact that I had just gotten beaten upand that my whole body was aching like it was going to fall apart at any minute.

He really was rather simple minded when it came down to the details.

"Hey, Roxas!" Axel shouted as soon as we entered the clinic. "My girl needs some ice!"

"That is a really rude way of addressing someone who has authority over you."

"Oh, shut up. Just get me the damn ice, yeah?" Axel turned to me, delight sprinkled across his face, "Naminé, this is Roxas. Roxas, this is Naminé. I've known Roxas forever."

"Nice... nice to meet you um..."

The man in the chair in swiveled around to look at me, his cobalt eyes boring into me as he scrutinized me openly. My whole body was frozen in a realization that came a little too late.

A small smile graced his lips as he realized why I had paused. "Ah, so you're polite?" he questioned, a small chuckle escaping his lips. "Well, Naminé, you can just call me Doctor."

Right in the middle of the school clinic, I fainted.
