CHAPTER IV
Her mind was racing, she couldn't quite belive what had happened. It took her brain a few moments to react; her lips responding – kissing him back, finally. Her hand slowly moved around his shoulders, her head slightly turning to the side. It was her body reacting automatically, relaxing into the kiss.
Sky was kissing and exploring her mouth in a painfully slow manner. He felt her relax into the kiss – into his touch. It caused his to smile into the kiss; which resolted in him to pull her closer, hold her tighter.
After what felt like a century, Sky was the first to break the kiss – for much needed air. Bloom had a fainth blush upon her features, which disappeared after a while.
For a while, they were both silent, before Sky broke the silence, reaching his hand out to her, for her to take.
"You wanna acompany me to the Tournament?" he questioned, offering her a devilish good smile; /too/ good for her to resists, or say no.
The redhead smiled, nodding her head and took his head.
The two walked hand-in-hand, towards where the rest of the guests and specialists were. It was time for them to depart & for Sky to get to his team and get ready for the challenges. But, not before he stole another soft kiss from Bloom, before they both got lost in the sea of people.
It took Bloom a few minutes of walking and looking around for her friends, untill she spotted a certain blond, waving to her from the crowds. Stella really is a /shining/ sun. The redhead returned the bright smile, and half-raised her hand in the air to wave back at the anticipating blonde friend of hers.
"Somebody seems very happy," the blonde remarked as Bloom reunited with her group of friends. Most were already seated up on the stair-like seats. If Bloom had to guess, it reminded her of the ruined theathre in Rome back on Earth.
Turning her attention to Stella, Bloom smiled, an index finger pressed againts her own lips. "I'm just excited to see the guys go." It wasn't a complete lie; she was happy to see the specialists go at it and show what they've leanred.
But this was Stella. There was no fooling her. The Solarian fairy pulled Bloom closer, hooking her own arm under the redheads'. "C'mon, c'mon! I saw you grinning from a mile away! Did you see prince charming?" she asked in a high piched voice, anticipating Bloom's answer.
Bloom couldn't help herself but roll her eyes slightly, laughing at her best friend. "Alright, alright, Stella! Yes, I saw Sky." The redhead fairy was quick to explain as the two were walking up the stairs to their friends, who were already seated.
Greeting the rest of their group the two took their seats, while Stella was still holding onto Bloom's hand like a child.
"Well? Did he kiss you?" the blonde kept poking at Bloom with questions; it seems she has made it her mission to drag all the juicy details out of her friend before the Tournament even begins.
And, honestly, she was on a really good path of getting those answers from Bloom. Another eye roll from Bloom, followed by a low chuckle.
"Yes, we.. we kissed," Bloom said, turning her head towards the exit at the very back, from where she had come from earlier.
"-it happened while I lost sigh of you guys, and I found a fountain. He found me, and one thing led to another—"
"Oh my gosh! You two finally kissed, it was about time!" Stella exclaimed happily. And, if this was an anime, Stella would definetly be making heart eyes at her friend.
Of course, before Bloom could even tell her to keep it down, she was already playing 'telephone', and within a few seconds all the Winx knew that she'd kissed Sky.
Three heads commedically peaked at Bloom, one after the other. No doubt, they all had question on when, where and how it had all went down. Definetly in great detail, too.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please."
The whole area went silent, all eyes on an middle aged man, probably in his fifties, who was making the announcement.
"Thank you. It is that time of the year again, where our new recrouits gather, and display their skills to you. I shall now name the men."
"This is it!" Stella eclaimed silently to Bloom's ear. No doubt, all the girls were excited to see /that/ specialist of theirs perform and show off his skill.
Bloom especially felt so. The kiss at the fountain and before departing to go their seperate ways just added more heat and excitement into this whole moment. Gripping her hands together, she caugh herself with a small smile on her own features, whenever her eyes would wander to the line of specialists down below and she'd find Sky standing between Brandon and Riven.
A few times during that Tournament, their eyes would find echoder, and the sparks would flow once more.
