Katez-chan: I'm not going to use the nickname "Fido" because I hate it. So yeah, disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. So don't sue me.
Fidelio smiled lazily across the table in the crowded (and noisy) Pets' Café.
His usually boisterous attitude was softened to mush in the presence of the girl sitting opposite him. He loved everything about her; her voice, her bright eyes, the way her hair moved as she occasionally stirred it with one hand or flipped it over her shoulder. Not for the first time, he wondered what on Earth had possessed him to fall for Olivia Vertigo, of all people. He was so not her type. She would never, in a million years, like him back.
"Hello? Fidelio? Are you conscious?" Lysander waved a hand in his face.
"Hmm?" He started, brought back to reality with a jolt.
"I asked you a question," said the older boy, with some annoyance.
It was around midday, and the students of Bloor's Academy had been let out for a breath of fresh air. Olivia had spotted a group of girls who were... kind of friends. That is, they were friendly.
"What are you playing?" she asked, in an offhand way.
"Truth or Dare," was the reply from a girl whose name Olivia couldn't quite remember. "Want to play?"
"Sure," Olivia shrugged.
She mostly just sat on the grass next to them, watching, until it was her turn.
"Who do you like?" It was such a typical question. It was a very typical question that Olivia, unfortunately, didn't want to answer.
"I'm not telling," she said.
"Sooo, you want to take a dare?" said the girl, a mischievous glint in her eye. If poor Liv had been thinking properly, she would have realised that this particular girl was still disgruntled from the dare she'd just taken, and that it would be a better choice just to tell them and get it over with.
"Sure," Olivia replied. How bad could it be?
She soon found out how bad.
"The next time you see Fidelio Gunn, you have to go up and kiss him."
"I'm not doing that!" Olivia yelled. "I'd rather tell you who I like!"
"You can do both, if you want," the other said, with a cruel edge to her voice. "But there's no going back."
Then, she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned mechanically, to see Fidelio walking towards them, completely unaware of the mess Olivia was in and how he'd just exacerbated it.
"Just out of curiosity, why him?" she muttered out of the corner of her mouth.
"I thought you'd object less, because you're friends." the girl shrugged. "and it's kind of obvious he likes you." that last sentence was so quiet Olivia didn't quite hear it, only the parade of giggles that followed.
"This could actually ruin our friendship, you know."
"I hadn't thought of that," said the dare-er softly. "I'm sorry."
But Livvy was not one to break an oath or anything of that ken. 'just on the cheek, should be fine,' she thought.
"Oh no you don't," one of the other girls whispered, as if she'd read Olivia's mind. "It doesn't count if you kiss him on the cheek."
Great. Just great. She walked up to him, tried to calm herself down, placed one hand on either side of his confused face, and mentally apologised for what she was about to do to him. It was actually kind of cruel. Moving quickly, she brought her face up to his, and gave him one quick kiss. She pulled away, looking down and blushing furiously.
None of them could have foreseen what happened next.
Katez-chan: Haha, a cliffhanger! Yeah, sorry. Couldn't help it. Stay tuned for chapter two! :D Evil me.
Review please! Pleeeeeease review! *big shiny eyes* Please?
Thanks to the two people who reviewed: percabethfreak and Caitalyna. Thanks to the former for reminding me that Bloor's doesn't have an e on the end... DX I always read the books in audiobook form, so I was actually just guessing. Thanks to the latter for your encouraging praise ^^ and I'm sorry, but it ends up a CharLiv, not FidoLiv. Sorry for decieving you.
