Chapter 2
Sweet and Mysterious
"Ichiru?" I heard a soft voice echo in my head. "Ichiru?" I lifted my head to see Maria bending over my body. "Lunch started ten minutes ago. Aren't you hungry?"
I smiled. "Yeah. Sure, let's get some lunch." Surprisingly enough, there was a lunch stand where you could buy sandwiches in this Academy. I got up and rubbed my head.
"Come on." Maria said as she jumped from desk to desk until she was out the door of the classroom. I followed her and we both went to the cafeteria together.
There was the longest lunch line I'd ever seen. We decided to wait a while, to see if the line got shorter. We both sat down at an empty table; no way I was going to sit with Rima and Senri.
"So…how's your first day so far?" I asked awkwardly.
"Fine." She paused. "Thanks to you." She smiled mysteriously, which strangely caused me to blush.
We were both silent for what seemed like almost ten minutes. I could hear my heart beating loudly in my ears, that's when I realized…I'm in love. Suddenly one of those happy Disney fairytale songs seemed to start in my head, I looked at Maria. Then stood up and pulled her hand up to my chest, and kissed her.
The fairytale song was getting louder, and louder, and louder. Until it was right by my ear, while I was kissing Maria with my eyes closed.
I broke the kiss and look to my right…
Rima and Senri were both standing right next to me, with an IPod in Rima's hand.
"DAMMIT!"
~oOoOoOoOo~
Lunch was over, and the two lovebirds were both back in class. Ichiru was still angry with Rima and Senri for having done that, but hey, at least they'd stopped talking about what flowers to put on Maria's grave, right?
Class was a pain in the neck, even for a smart person like Ichiru, and everybody knew that. Why do you think nobody listens in class? Nobody cares, duh! And that included Kaname, Seiren, Kain, Aido, Ruka, etc.… Ok, you get the point.
Maria was the only one paying attention, especially with her being new and all, she had to.
A new teacher had taken the place of an old one that most of the Night Class students liked, which obviously caused a riot.
"Now…" the teacher trailed off. "We're going to…"
That's how he was, in three words; bored and boring. Very boring.
"Maria?" Ichiru's hand wondered around Maria's desk for her hand. It wasn't there; he then turned his head around slowly, only to find that she was sleeping!
Her hands were crossed over her chest, and her eyes were half open, but she was sleeping, it was very noticeable. If somebody really could look younger when they're sleeping, then Maria looked like an angel. Her eyes blinked a few times, then closed completely, making her look so much cuter than she had only a few seconds ago. I wish… I wish you'd love me as much as I do you. Maybe you do, but… how am I supposed to figure out? I don't think I have the guts to ask you out…just…like…that…
Ichiru had never felt so helpless before. He had always been weaker than his older brother, Zero, but he truly thought he would at least be able to ask a girl he like out. And what's more, his brother even TURNED DOWN some girls…Actually a LOT of girls, most actually, except Yuuki. She's finally started going out with him, instead of that narcissistic jerk, Kaname (I APOLOGIZE TO ANY KANAME FAN OUT THERE! I DON'T HATE HIM, I SWEAR) He'd given up on her, and started dating Seiren, and Ruka had started hating Kaname for choosing someone other than her in place of Yuuki, and she decided to take her anger out on Akatsuki Kain.
The teacher had finally stopped mumbling and decided to leave the room, even though class wasn't even over! Surely, he would get fired!
There was an awkward silence, and guess who broke it?
Hanabusa Aido, of course.
"PARTY TIME!" He screeched as Kain pulled him into a headlock and threatened to choke him.
"Ok then…" I raised my eyebrow. Then an idea popped into my head. "Maria…" I shook her awake. "Maria, we should leave now…"
She started at me in awe and stared at me.
"What?"
"Let's go! I think there's a beach pretty close by. We should go there!" I took her hand and ran out of class with her at my heels.
"Ocean, ocean, ocean," Maria shrieked delightedly, whirling around in circles on the sand. Ichiru gulped as her skirt flapped up and down.
"Haven't you ever seen the ocean before, Maria-kun?" he asked, ducking his head down to hide his blush.
"Of course not silly, sickly vampire girl, remember?" she said, winking. Suddenly, she dropped her book bag, unpinned her hair, and began unbuttoning her jacket.
"W-what are you…" he trailed off as she cast off her blouse, revealing a black bra that was shoving up her breasts in a way that would make a hormone-ruled teenage boy melt into a puddle. Ichiru felt his knees go weak and heard the Halleluiah Chorus playing in the back of his mind.
Thank you God, he murmured dreamily.
"I want to swim of course," she said, kicking off her socks and shoes and unzipping her skirt.
Don't look, don't look, don't look…Ichiru repeated like a mantra over and over in his head. Still, you can't go to the beach with someone and not look at them without them noticing, if you even could manage it. Which most people can't.
"Hey Ichiru, aren't you going to swim?" Ichiru looked up to see Maria in…well a bra and underwear, honestly.
Oh God.
"Oh um…y-yeah," he managed, turning around and stripping off his jacket and shirt. Turning around, he was sort of surprised to see that Maria hadn't gotten in.
"Aren't you going to swim, Maria-kun?"
"…I-I don't know how," she admitted, embarrassed. Ichiru smiled.
"Well come on then, I'll teach you," he said, leading her out into the shallows.
"Now, it's really simple. For now…" So Ichiru went on to teach Maria various strokes, not noticing how red her face was at their close proximity. Soon, she soon got the hand of it and a full-on splashing fight soon got going. But still, even mythical creatures of the night get exhausted and after about an hour, they stumbled onto the shore and crashed on the sand, completely beat. Ichiru folded his hands behind his head in a relaxed gesture, just thinking…about one certain little lavender-haired vampire he was seriously falling for. Gulp.
Do I…Can I tell her how I feel?
Well, that's what guys usually did on dates, didn't they?
But is this even a date?
Ichiru swallowed. He was feeling sort of…restless. And besides, he didn't know if Maria felt the same way. What if she didn't? For crying out loud, they had known each other for one day! But still, they had shared…moments. Cough. And she had never been exactly unwilling, had she? And she had agreed to 'hang out' with him and was here with him right now, right? So then she must like him to some extent, if not as much as he liked her.
Loved her, he mentally corrected himself. I…I love Maria.
Her smile, her beautiful lavender hair and eyes, her soft voice, her sweet tinkling little laugh…Ichiru smirked somewhat sadly to himself.
I'm so screwed.
Turning over, his eyes widened to find Maria's sleeping face inches from his own and felt the weirdest sensation that his bones were turning to mush.
So…
No. 'Beautiful', 'flawless', 'gorgeous'… none of those words did Maria justice. Almost unconsciously, he reached out to cup her warm little cheek. He started to lean in…
Maria's sleep-clouded brain got kick-started again at the feel of a large, soft hand caressing her cheek gently.
Hm? Where…am I? Suddenly she remembered.
Oh that's right! Ichiru and I went to the beach and…I fell asleep?
Forcing her eyes open, Maria only got a glimpse of Ichiru's face before he kissed her.
This is sort of developing into a routine, Maria thought idly. Ah well, it's not like she was complaining or anything. Pressing herself closer to him, she laid her hand gently on his cheek. It was sweet to some and disgusting to others, but soon it was nothing to anyone, because the couple broke apart at the words "Maria? Ichiru? What are you doing?"
There we go. That was chapter 2~ Thanks to magicalgirl100591 we were able to have some fluffy moments XD
