"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"NO!"
"YES!"
The screaming match between me and Sora had sparked the second he made that godforsaken dare.
"You HAVE to Kairi, that's why they call it a dare smart one." He said as a matter of factly.
"No I don't! It's just a game!" I retorted, backing myself away from Sora's face, which I had now nicknamed The Danger Zone.
Sora sighed and scrunched his face up.
"Listen Kairi, if your family is anything like you, they aren't going to be fooled by a couple who can barely stand each other. You had better get used to kissing me at some point."
Oh.
Wow.
That…that's a good point.
"I…uh…" I struggled to turn the argument around, with no avail. I had been beat. Sora grinned triumphantly and I grimaced.
"Come on honey. Use your brain, that's what it's there for." He said meanly.
God, he just has to ruin everything, doesn't he?
"Oh, shut up." I said, still refusing to meet his eyes.
"Look at me baby girl," he said softly.
Oh no.
That's CHEATING. You can't call me baby girl! ANY girl who gets called baby girl instantly melts. Like Laffy Taffy on hot pavement. He used the cheat! That's not allowed!
He took hold of my cheek and moved my face so it was facing him.
NO! No! This is like being tortured, but being forced to love it!
"Kairi," he mumbled. His eyes fluttered shut and my eyes begged to do the same.
He pulled me closer and I started to hyperventilate. Nonononono, this is NOT what I wanted at all!
I was frantic for some sort of escape. My eyes flicked all around the plane. My eyes focused on the plane window.
Woah, what is tha-
I was cut off mid thought as the entire plane shook with a sudden Boom!
Sora released my face quickly and looked around like a prairie dog. Though I'm sure I looked much worse.
" 'regonnadieohmygoshIcan'tbelieveitsallgonnaendlikethisIhaven'tlivedmylife I'MTOOYOUNG!" I was hyperventilating and I spit that entire sentence out in one breath.
"E-excuse me passengers, we are experiencing some turbulence, please fasten your,"
I didn't bother to listen to the rest of the captain's sentence. I buckled my seat belt so fast you would've never even known it was off.
Sora looked extremely concerned for my mental stability.
"Kairi, relax, we're not going to die." He said angrily.
He's just pissed because I didn't kiss him.
"How do YOU know?!" I asked. The storm clouds brewed outside the window and they were as black as night and I could almost feel an evil presence.
Stop overreacting.
"Shut up," I muttered.
"I didn't say anything." Sora said flatly. Well alright Mr. grumpy boots.
"Not you." I said sharply.
"Well excuuuse me princess." He said angrily. His glare burnt a hole through my forehead. I glared right back.
"Do you have a problem?" I asked, my words laced with knives'n poison.
"Yeah, you can never be wrong can you?" He said.
"What? That doesn't make ANY sense!" I yelled.
"You are always right! And god forbid if you're ever wrong, because according to you, you never are!" He yelled back.
"What was I wrong about?" I demanded. I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about.
"Look, I'm TRYING to make an effort to be nice to you, but you can't have that can you! Can't you just give me a chance?!" He yelled.
"This is you effort? You've been nothing but an asshat to me the ENTIRE trip and you have the nerve to say that I'm not giving you a chance?!" I was absolutely furious. The plane shook but I ignored it, despite my raging fear.
"Are you KIDDING ME? YOU have been a total bitch this entire trip for no reason at all!" He said angrily. My face burned like fire.
"I have a GREAT reason to be a bitch to you! You made me MISERABLE when we dated and I have no idea why!"
By now, tears were streaming down my face. But after I said that sentence, it was like I hit an off switch in the argument. Sora backed away from me ever so slightly.
"Kairi…please don't cry."
I sniffed.
"Why Sora? Why did you do that to me?" I asked in between pathetic sniffles.
Silence.
"I…I don't know." He said.
He was lying, I could tell, but I made the decision to let it go. He slowly reached over and wiped away my tears.
We sat in silence for a while. I watched the window as the fierce storm slowly passed, and I could see miniature dots which must have been cities.
There was only about an hour and a half of the plane ride left, so I continued to ignore Sora for the next ten minutes.
I listened to Sora move around restlessly. He shifted so many times in his seat that I was tempted to turn around and tell him to knock it off.
"Kairi?" He asked slowly, as if he were afraid I'd castrate him if he spoke.
Which I was actually considering.
"What." I said monotonously
"…I'm sorry."
I blinked a few times. Had I just heard right? Was the great Sora Hikari actually apologizing to me genuinely?
I swallowed before I answered.
"I'm sorry too."
A/N Yay! Latest chapter intact. And trouble in paradise, wouldn't ya say?
It really seems cruel to end the chapter at this point…
And often I won't write more than this, but…
Spring break started today!
Well, more like winter break part 2
So this is an April (March) fools joke!
On with the chapter!
I slowly turned to face him. Our eyes met, and at that very moment, I really wanted to kiss him. Like, bad. I studied his face and he did the same. I could tell that his thoughts were identical to mine, because ever so slowly he bit his lip.
He always did that when he wanted to kiss a girl. It was pretty cute, actually.
Too cute…
"Kairi?" He asked.
"Hm?" I answered, still distracted by his handsome features.
"Wanna play truth or dare?" He asked anxiously.
Really?
Are you kidding me?
I was about to answer really sassily, but he quickly added:
"Don't worry, we could just play truth."
Um…
My face scrunched up in distaste.
"20 questions?" He asked desperately.
"Fine." I said.
"I'll go first." He said.
"Favorite color?" Aah, the most basic question on this good earth.
"Uh, blue! Ooh, and pink." I answered eagerly. 20 questions was my kind of game.
"You can't pick 2 colors! It's against the rules!" He said playfully.
"Yes I can! Now…um…what's your favorite…fruit?" I asked.
"Strawberries." He said, a bit too quickly. I blushed, because basically every smelly, fruity, girly, spritzy stuff I owned was strawberry smelling.
He grinned when he saw that I had connected the dots.
"What's your favorite candy?" He asked.
"Starbursts." I answered. Those damn things would be the end of my skinniness. (If you even consider it skinny!)
"What is your favorite…planet?" I asked stupidly.
"Uranus." He pronounced it 'ur anus' like the punk that he was and grinned seductively.
I blushed wildly and averted my eyes to the ground.
"What's your favorite movie?"
"The Two Towers."
He laughed.
"You nerd." He teased, poking my nose.
"You're just jealous because it won more academy awards then dumbass Iron Man!" I argued lightly.
"Hey, Iron Man is not dumbass, Robert Downey is spectacular!" He said.
"Sure, whatever you say," I brushed it off lightly to annoy him and he crossed his arms childishly.
"What is your favorite food?" I asked.
"Pizza." He answered.
"That makes two of us," I laughed and he smiled like I had just said the greatest thing in the world.
Cute.
"Heh, what's your favorite…Relative?"
Yowch.
That was a tough one. I liked very few of my relatives. The second I turned eighteen, I was out of there. I moved to a distant island and hasta la vista loco familia.
"My cousin, Shiki."
Shiki and I had grown closer during our teenage years over our mutual hatred for our family. Unfortunately, Shiki was not as lucky as I was to have escaped from our family in time. She was forced to go to college on Adipiscing. Her family kept her close, and I hadn't spoken to her since I was sixteen.
I hope that she doesn't hate me…
"Who's that?" He asked. I am going to spare you the retelling of that story.
"Oh, that's pretty cool." He said.
Attention passengers. We have begun descension. Our flight will end in approximately 15 minutes. Thank you for choosing-
Wow. That went by fast. I guess when Sora and I aren't at each other's throats, we can actually enjoy each others company.
"What's your favorite song?" I asked.
"#SELFIE!" He said in a girly voice. I laughed, because imagining Sora jamming to the obnoxious song would certainly be a sight I'd pay to see.
"What's your favorite song?" He asked back.
"Err, underneath the tree." I answered.
"What? That's a Christmas song! You can't like that song now!" He teased.
"Yes I can! You can't tell me what to do!" I teased back.
We continued this pointless banter until the plane kissed the ground and the rumbling of landing silenced our argument momentarily.
We were escorted off the plane by a bunch of professional looking men in uniforms.
"I told you, you can't like a Christmas song in June! It's against the law!" He said.
"It's a free country!" I argued back.
One of the bored guards muttered under his breath.
"Couples." He said.
Both Sora and I froze and burst out laughing, for some unbeknownst reason. Maybe it was the fact that our lousy acting had managed to fool a man in uniform, and we weren't even really trying.
The guard looked at us like we had just stripped naked, and shook his head muttering profanities.
We walked up to the baggage claim, where, obviously, we had to claim our bags. While waiting, Sora made an interesting remark.
"Why exactly do I have to pretend to be your boyfriend anyways?"
"Oh, uh well, I kinda…told my family that I had a boyfriend just to shut them up, but, of COURSE they wanted to meet him, so, I kind of dug myself a hole I couldn't get out of." Wow, I summed that up well.
"Oh, so they're pretty tightly wound."
"Yeah." I answered. By now I had spotted our bags and pointed them out to Sora.
"Kind of like you." He said while moving towards our bags.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" I asked defensively. He laughed.
"Whatever you want it to be, sweetheart." He hauled both of our bags out of the carousel. I followed him out in to the pick up lane, where our taxi was scheduled to pick us up.
I huffed and I could tell that he was smiling, even when he was ahead of me.
"Hey, slow down, will you?"
For a man with two oversized suitcases in tow, he sure moved fast.
"Hurry up slow poke!" He said, picking up his pace on purpose.
I grumbled under my breath and ran to catch up with him.
"There's our taxi," he said, pointing to a yellow cab with smoke coming out of the driver's seat.
"Yuck." I said.
"Oh, don't be so picky." He said. We rolled up to the taxi and Sora secured our bags in the back. I offered to help, but him being the stubborn man that he was, said that he had it as he slammed the back end shut.
Walking up to me, he said:
"Oh, and one more thing before we go,"
He took my face in his hands, leaned down and kissed me, right on the lips.
A/N I bet that you thought that I was going to leave you kissless. Well, you got surprised muthafucka! Haha. Ohwell, long chapter, I guess. Don't worry, I'm almost positive I will have a new chapter by next week, sooo hang in there.
