A fic for the Valentine's Day Fic-A-Thon!

Prompt: First kisses.


The first time they kissed was on a sort of dare, so they both shrugged it off without so much as an explanation.

The second time they kissed there was alcohol involved, and so they reasoned it away since both of them was more than a little intoxicated.

The third time they kissed was after a late night sparing match. Naturally they excused it as being caused by the adrenaline from the duel.

The fourth time they kissed they justified it as being thanks for a mutual life-save during a random monster attack.

The fifth time they kissed was at a masquerade ball, and thus there was no way to prove it was either of them, though they knew the truth.

The sixth time they kissed there was a possible drowning involved, and so the explanation was simply needing oxygen.

The seventh time they kissed, they finally ran out of excuses.

"It's your turn to come up with one," Izayoi complained, capturing his lips a second later.

Kain genuinely thought about it and then shook his head, "I don't have one."

The noise from the party going on around them was still raging in full, and Izayoi hummed for a second, trying to catch her breath, "Maybe we're both just sick of coming to these things?"

"Maybe I have a death wish?" Kain suggested with a shrug.

She chuckled and peered around the pillar they were hiding behind, making sure no one noticed them or missed them yet. "I guess we're out of excuses…"

"About time." Kain muttered, kissing her once more.


Author's Note: I wanted to at least try and participate in the Valentine's Day Fic-A-Thon going on until the end of the month. But all you get for now is this short...whatever it is. Oh, and surprise, it's Kizzy...

I have some ideas rattling around my brain, but as I stated in the last update of Lost and Found, things are going to be busy this month so we'll see!
