First Kiss (Prologue/?)
It was recess time and all the elementary school children were outside, playing
in the warmth of the spring day. Some
were swarming around the playground, others were playing tag; but the biggest
attraction of all was a soccer game on the grassy field. It was winding down to the last and final
point that would decide the winners. A
young unruly-haired boy, who was captain of his team, weaved his way between
two other boys of the opposite team, breathing hard as he tried to keep the
soccer ball in control. He saw one of
his teammates open to receive and kicked the soccer ball with all his
might. The other intercepted it safely
and ran down the field, keeping it away from the other team. He stopped when one of the other players
blocked him from reaching the goal.
Glancing around, he spotted his team captain again.
"Hiiii-*YA*!" he shouted, kicking the black-and-white ball to Heero. The other boy ran past the boy who was supposed to be guarding him and received the ball on the pass back. Cheering was heard from the crowd of first graders who were watching him heading towards the other team's goalie. One spectator with a long chestnut braid was gazing fixedly at the Japanese boy, violet eyes following his every movement. As Heero neared the goal the cheering grew softer, and when he lifted his leg to make the shot; everyone held their breath. The soccer ball was propelled across the remaining distance to hit the back of the net.
"YEAH!!!!!!!!!!" Heero's team rooted for their captain and wild applause erupted from their audience. A smile appeared on a heart-shape face as Heero threw up his arms in victory before the owner of that face disappeared back into the school.
"You did it, Heero!" Yuki said excitedly. "You're so lucky to get the spotlight. Did you see who was watching you?" The young 6-year-old Heero plucked a long weed with a bushy top from the ground and chewed on its end to hide his smile. He knew exactly who had been watching him: Duo Maxwell, the new student who transferred to the school a month ago. When the teacher first introduced the young boy to the class, Heero had thought he was a girl. Long hair and a delicate looking face… the Japanese boy took a great liking to him at first sight. He was far prettier than any other girl he'd met.
The bell rang, signaling the end of recess and the start of a short bathroom break. Still with the weed in his mouth, Heero grabbed the soccer ball and headed towards the gym to put it back. He dribbled it lightly down the hall, pleased with himself that he'd made the winning shot. There was a chance that Duo was impressed. Smiling while he turned the corner, he stopped short when he saw the said braided boy standing near the gym entrance. Duo looked up and gave him a small wave.
"Hi," he said to the unruly-haired boy.
"Hey," Heero greeted back, walking up to the other. Duo was wearing a turtleneck and semi-loose pants. Along with his chestnut colored braid and large violet eyes, he was just absolutely… beautiful in Heero's eyes.
"I just wanted to say congratulations on winning the game. It was really close."
"Thanks. You were watching?" Heero asked, pretending he didn't know. Duo nodded and he smiled, leaning against the wall. Placing his hands in his pockets, he bounced the soccer ball up onto his knee. Heero looked up at the other boy while keeping the ball balanced.
"Wow, you're good," Duo said, smiling. Heero chewed on the piece of weed in his mouth for a moment before he spoke again.
"Duo…?" The braided boy glanced up.
"Yes?"
"I'm gonna kiss you." Duo blinked in surprise.
"Why? I'm not a girl." Heero sighed almost exasperated and let the soccer ball drop from his knee.
"Because I want to," he said, as if it was obvious. He stepped closer to the other boy and Duo backed away until he hit the opposite wall.
"So, can I?" Heero asked, his foot on the soccer ball to keep it from rolling away. Duo just stared at him, wondering what he should say. Seemed that kissing a boy didn't bother the Japanese boy one bit. Then why should it bother to him?
"Jeez… How long is it going to take you to answer?"
"Okay, you can," Duo said quickly before he could change his mind. Without hesitation, Heero moved in and pressed his mouth against the other. The braided boy felt the softness against his lips and ever so slowly, he closed his eyes and tilted his head up.
