MBP: Okay, another prompt! This was from anonymous reviewer SpinningAround7! Thanks for the prompt, this was so much fun to do!

Rini: She owns nothing!

MBP: Though I wish I did... Miho would totally be in the actual series, and this would be a canon pairing!

Kio: Hope you enjoy...


Chapter 4: Butterflies

"Butterflies!" Miho ran through the field excitedly. "Ryou, lookie lookie! Miho sees butterflies!"

Ryou followed the girl, sighing wearily. She had appeared at his house at four that morning, shouting about a picnic. She had refused to leave until Ryou promised to go with her, and so he was now functioning on less than five hours of sleep, and walking through a field that he didn't think anyone else in the world even knew existed.

And somehow, even though Miho had around the same amount of sleep he did, which he knew because she kept him awake, she managed to be completely hyper and excited.

"Butterflies!" Ryou sighed again as Miho called for him.

"I see..." He didn't really. He didn't see any butterflies anywhere around them, but most of the time he humored Miho and just went along with whatever he did.

"Miho likes butterflies!" Miho skipped over to the boy, swinging the lunch basket around. "They're pretty!"

"Miho..." Ryou smiled as the girl almost tripped over her own feet, and let her grab his arm. "Are you alright?"

"Yep, Miho's fine! Ryou, close your eyes!" Miho ordered, trying to cover his eyes already.

"Why?" Ryou got suspicious whenever Miho said those words. Last time he'd closed his eyes when she told him to, he... well, something bad happened.

"Please?" Miho pulled out the puppy-dog eyes, and Ryou sighed, closing his eyes. She knew exactly what to do to get him to do what she wanted. Miho took his arm and led him somewhere and sat him down.

"Okay... Miho says open!" Miho giggled as Ryou opened his eyes and gaped. Flying all around them were all kinds of butterflies, and some had landed on the lunch basket already. Miho held out her arm and laughed as a butterfly landed on it, and didn't fly away.

Ryou watched, amazed at the sight. This more than made up for the last time... when she'd decided to shave off his eyebrows... this was breathtaking!

Ryou smiled as a butterfly flew right in front of him, and Miho laughed as the butterfly landed on his nose. He heard a click, which could only mean that Miho had taken a picture.

"Miho..." Miho waved her phone, and grinned. Ryou found himself grinning back. There was no way to get mad at her... and this more than made up for all the pranks she'd played before.

Miho smiled at him and giggled as more butterflies landed, and then lay down on the ground, making sure she didn't crush any. "Miho sleepy..." She murmured, closing her eyes, already fast asleep.

Ryou watched her, amused as a butterfly landed on Miho's lips and stayed there for a moment. Ryou sighed quietly, and lay down next to the girl, feeling ready for a nap himself.

Before he fell asleep, he felt a butterfly land on his lips gently for a moment before it flew away with more of it's group. Absently he noticed it was the same one that had landed on Miho's lips as well.

"Butterfly kisses," Miho muttered in her sleep, so quietly it was almost inaudible, but the two words woke Ryou up immediately.

The boy was bright red as he realized what had happened. If Miho had been awake enough, she'd have been screaming about an indirect kiss, and running around excitedly. As it was however, Miho was fast asleep, and Ryou was the one awake and realizing what had happened.

Ryou then smiled, and shook his head, leaning over the sleeping girl and brushing her hair out of her eyes, murmuring into her ear.

"I think I like butterfly kisses..."
