So Contagious- Acceptance
0000000
(Netto's POV)
It's been two years. Two long
years that seemed like forever. I tug at my shirt and fix my
bandanna; I want to make sure everything looks okay. They say a
person formulates an impression in the first five seconds of meeting
someone. Though he's known me since fifth grade, it's still been
a long time since the last time I saw him. I wonder what he
looks like now…
I'm waiting in the guest
arrival lobby. For security reasons, I can't watch to see when his
plane arrives. This just makes the wait more painful; I'll only
know when the flight scheduler displays the arrival status, and even
then, that'll come ten minutes too late.
I sigh, leaning my back against
the wall. Patience is not one of my strong points; he knows that
too. I wonder if his personality's changed?
"Hikari!"
Guess not.
Oh no, this couldn't be
more unexpected
And I can tell that I've been
moving in so slow
Don't let it throw you off too
far
'Cause I'll be running right
behind you…
Could this be out of line (could
this be out of line)
To say you're the only one,
breaking me down like this
You're the only one I would
take a shot on,
Keep me hanging on, so
contagiously.
(Enzan's POV)
I see him standing there. Has it
really been two years? His smile, the way his eyes light up when he
sees a friend…some things never change. Time seems to stand still
when I call his name and he looks up. The world seems to disappear.
Why?
"ENZAN!"
He runs up and embraces me.
Naturally, I act annoyed, but I feel anything but. It's almost as
if my heart and my ego are at war. I want to embrace him back, but
as my pride becomes wounded and embarrassment kicks in, it mixes
into a bitter response.
"Knock it of Hikari. Sheesh."
"Sorry" he steps back,
rubbing the back of his head sheepishly and blushing. He looks hurt,
so I decide to fix this.
"Don't worry about it. We
were just getting some weird looks." I shrugged it off. This was
true; people were looking at us weird, but that didn't
bother me. His smile returned and I swear it was contagious; I
couldn't help but smile as well. "C'mon, let's go get my
luggage."
Oh, when I'm around you I'm
predictable
'cause I believe in loving
you at first sight
I know it's crazy but I'm
hoping to,
To take a hold of you.

(Netto's POV)
Okay, so stupid move. I'm
impulsive, what can I say? God, he's so beautiful though!
…
Did I really just say that?
Alright, FINE. I like him—more
than I should, that's for sure. I haven't seen him so long and
it seems like he's gone from stalion to angel. I kid you not. I
think he sensed I was embarrassed for hugging him. My heart nearly
burst when he smiled.
We walk to the baggage claim and
I just cannot stop smiling! I mean, not just normal everyday smiles,
but I swear to god, my cheeks hurt from smiling so wide! I'm
afraid he'll see, so I try to stop smiling, but I can't, and it
makes me laugh.
"What's so funny?" he
looks over, and now I've completely lost to the giggle fits. My
painful laughs ease when he begins to laugh as well.
Oh you're everything I'm
wanting,
come to think of it I'm
aching.
On account of my transgressions
Will you welcome this confession?
(Enzan's POV)
I look over and he's laughing
uncontrollably. He has this strained look on his face like he's
trying not to laugh, but naturally, he can't help it. Somehow even
his laugh is contagious, and I find myself laughing too. Alright,
well, the fact that they sound like little girl giggles when he
tries to suppress them also adds to the humor of this whole bizarre
situation.
I shake my head, calming down
the giggles within me. "That was odd."
He laughs a little more, "The
strangest thing."
"Seriously though, why were
you laughing?"
"I honestly don't remember."
He shakes his head, his chocolate brown hair trailing along in the
air as he does so. It's almost attractive…
Suddenly, it hits me as I pick
up my bags. Am I…in love? With a boy no less? This insane! No way
am I—
"Enzan, that's not your
bag." He looks at me confused as another person behind him points
to the bag I'm holding. I look at the tag. Oops.
"Oh, sorry miss." I hand the
bag over to an older girl. She smiles and walks away.
Alright, so if denying it makes
me lose my cool, then accepting it would be only natural. I sigh.
Yeah, fine…I do like him.
"You okay? You seem a little
out of sorts…"
"Jet lag." I think up
quickly. I'm too good of a liar, and I'm afraid one day it'll
hurt someone…okay, I lied again. I'm afraid it'll hurt him.
I turn away to see my bag move along the conveyor belt. Stepping in
front of someone and excusing myself, I grab the red piece of
luggage.
"Oh. Well, I know just the
thing!" he smiles broadly, motioning for us to continue with his
hand "C'mon. Let's go get something to eat! It'll help you
get your energy back!"
After the taxi and bus ride, we
find ourselves in front of a curry restaurant. Yep. Some things
never change.
