The Right One
Disclaimer: Nope. Not my property.
A couple sat on the park bench. The stars began to appear one after another. Leaning back, the younger of the two watched as puffs of breath hovered from her girlfriend's lips. She felt like kissing those lips. The other hugged the ends of her coat closer.
"Natsuki, I'm cold," Shizuru said, burrowing deeper into her coat.
Natsuki felt a sense of deja vu. This conversation felt oddly familiar.
"I feel a bit chilly."
"Yeah, it's pretty cold out today."
She didn't get it. After saying that, Shizuru had sighed and proceeded to give her the cold shoulder for the rest of the day. If people thought she was a cold blooded ice princess, Shizuru was the ice queen. Natsuki concluded her answer had been the wrong one. After all, everything was supposedly her fault when she couldn't decipher the hints her girlfriend was apparently throwing at her.
Hints? More like tightly wrapped enigmas with so many maze like twists and turns that the next thing you know up is down, left is right and yes means no you moron.
Natsuki thought hard. She recalled another conversation.
"It's freezing out here."
"Guess you should've grabbed a jacket back at the apartment."
Definitely the wrong answer. At that time, Shizuru had given her a dark look before walking off and leaving her in a state of complete confusion.
Natsuki didn't get it. Sometimes she wondered why Shizuru couldn't be more direct with what she wanted. It would save a heck of a lot of time and save Shizuru herself from a considerable amount of frustration. Girl-speak was not her forte. Natsuki racked her brain for the right answer or at the very least something that wouldn't call forth the ice queen.
Then an idea hit her. Is that what she wanted? Couldn't hurt to try.
Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around Shizuru.
"Did I do good?" Natsuki asked, nuzzling into her girlfriend's neck.
"Yes. Perfect," Shizuru said happily before adding, "Finally."
Natsuki looked up into crimson eyes before capturing those tempting, red lips between her own.
Better late then never.
OMAKE
Shizuru: You know what would be an even better way to warm up?
Natsuki: (eagerly) Cocoa?
Shizuru: ...
Natsuki: Uh...chili pepper vodka?
Shizuru: ...
Natsuki: ...S-sex?
Shizuru: (smirks) If you insist.
And thus, Natsuki and Shizuru stayed warm throughout the rest of the day.
A short ShizNat one-shot for you all on V-Day or S.A.D for you singles out there. I dunno. Feels like just another Sunday to me. xD
Peace Out.
