Title: A Kiss for a Clown
Genre: Romance
Rating: T
Paring: Misora x Zazie
Summary: When opposites attract, the product is more beautiful than any matched pair.
1. Jealousy
Misora pouted when the crowd gawked at Zazie in her acrobat's costume, thinking only she deserved to see Zazie looking so beautiful.
2. Confession
For
someone so talkative, Zazie's lips curled upwards in amusement when
Misora confessed through a letter.
3. Laughter
Everyone
already knew what Misora's laugh sounded like, but Misora's heart
swelled with pride to know she was the only one to have heard Zazie
giggle.
4. Teardrop
Misora
had always wondered what Zazie's markings on her eyes meant, but
was satisfied enough to let it be so long as Zazie didn't cry any
real tears.
5. Cute
Zazie
always insisted that she wasn't cute, but she could never get
Misora to stop saying that she was.
6. Freaks
Misora
didn't care if people thought she was weird for acting like a boy,
but the first time that she heard someone call Zazie a freak, she kicked him in
the face.
7. Birdseed
"I
like to feed the birds at the park", Misora had said, and Zazie had
giggled, whispering, "They come to see me after my show."
8. Prayers
She
knew Misora could talk fast, but Zazie was always amazed at how
quickly Misora could recite a prayer from memory.
9. Chocolate
Misora
couldn't help but grin deviously once she found out how far Zazie
would go for her favorite chocolate.
10. Tangles
For
an acrobat and a track star, they were awkward with their legs in
bed, and always got tied up in the sheets.
11. Opposites
Loud
and grinning with quiet and placid; together they reveled in private
smiles
12. Secrets
Just
as Misora had her duty to the church, Zazie had her own secrets of
the Nightmare Circus to keep, and Misora cared enough not to pry.
13. Drunk
Zazie
didn't ask how Misora had gotten drunk. Instead, she enjoyed the
fiery-haired girl's sloppy and often off-target kisses.
14. Favoritism
Nobody
noticed that when the Trick Trio put smoke bombs in everyone's
lockers, the one in Zazie's locker didn't have a fuse.
15. Lifeline
Zazie
didn't scream, but she squeezed Misora's hand hard every time the
roller coaster flipped and swerved.
16. Sex
For
a nun in training and a near-mute, they managed surprisingly well.
17. Perfection
Zazie
would have disagreed if she'd said it out loud, so Misora simply
called Zazie perfect in her mind.
18. Demure
"…You…look
cute when you sleep…" Zazie mumbled over breakfast one morning.
19. Clowns
Class
clown or the jester in the show – both of them were clowns in some
respect.
20. Costumes
"…You
mean the nun outfit turns you on..?"
21. Waltz
It
was lucky they'd found each other – Misora had to idea how to
dance the woman's part.
22. Meltdown
It
had taken Zazie over a minute to realize Misora's hair had caught
on fire from the candles for their dinner.
23. Cheerleader
Even
if Zazie didn't cheer like everyone else in the stands, her
presence was motivation enough for Misora to win her tourney.
24. Crutch
Only
someone like Zazie could understand the deeper pain it caused someone
like Misora to have broken her legs.
25. Arithmetic
Misora
couldn't imagine Zazie studying a math textbook.
26. Midnight
"Who
cares if it's a school night, if we don't hurry, I'm gonna go
crazy…"
27. Juggler
Misora
rolled on the ground laughing when she finally convinced Zazie to
juggle the Narutaki twins.
28. Improvement
Zazie
could barely breath, and knew she wouldn't be standing up for a
while. Misora had gotten better.
29. Peak
Kissing
Misora wasn't like flying – Zazie already knew what that was like
- flying wasn't nearly as good.
30. Dawn
The
nun and the acrobat greeted New Year's Morning on the roof of their
dorm, in a sweaty tangle of limbs.
