Nap-time Woes
(Terra gets a cookie, solid on the forehead.)
"Okay, everyone," Aqua called to her class, "finish those masterpieces so we could get started with the story."
One of her charges, a blonde little boy, approached her, proudly displaying his work.
"Miss Aqua, Miss Aqua!" he called, "Look, I drew a picture of you."
The muse of said picture ruffled the five-year-old's hair. "Aw, thank you Ven-ven. But I think your drawing's much to pretty to be me."
Little Ven's eyes widened as he realized his "offense." He shook his head vigorously. "No, Miss Aqua! You're much, much prettier!"
"Thank you for saying so, Ven." Aqua offered her sweetest smile.
"I love you, Miss Aqua!" the little boy beamed.
"I love you too, sweetheart." She pointed to the bulletin board at the back of the room. "Now, why don't you stick that there and get ready for story-telling."
"Okay!" and he ran off.
Then she heard a knock on the door. From the little square window, she saw it was her boyfriend, Terra, peeking. She opened the door and greeted him with a sweet peck on the lips.
"Your kids are watching." he warned.
"Don't worry, they won't mind." she teased. "Why don't you go wait in the back. I'll have them napping in a little while."
"Okay." and he kissed her again.
Once everyone settled down, Aqua began reading from the big book of fairy tales. Today, she read from the story of a little boy named Zack who wanted to become a hero and be famous.
Halfway through the story, almost all of the kids had fluttering eyelids. Others were already asleep. Except for one.
Little Ventus took a place near Terra and instead of listening to his dear teacher Aqua's story, spent the whole time staring at the newcomer.
Terra tried to ignore it, and he was succeeding so far. Until the kid spoke.
"Hey, back off, buddy." he whispered. But the threat was clear in his five-year-old voice.
Of course, hearing that from someone that young would disturb anybody. "Where'd you learn to talk like that?" Terra reprimanded quietly.
"When I grow up, I'm going to marry Miss Aqua. So just back off, okay." he glared at his adult opponent.
We all know Ven was dead serious. But we also couldn't help but find that adorable. Well, so did Terra. So he just smiled.
That smile vanished instantly, though, when a ballistic cookie from Ven found its mark on the brunette's forehead.
"Hey!" Terra tried to lunge at his attacker. But said attacker just made a valid argument.
"If you do that, you know she'll just take my side."
"You…" Terra growled at Ven, "go to sleep."
But the latter simply stuck his tongue out at the former before turning his back.
Terra slumped in his chair and crossed his arms. He just lost to a kindergartner. Looks like he's gotten himself a rival.
