Sneaky

Mana's uneven breathing was the only thing to be heard in the dark room. Pale moon light illuminated her dark features. She would look so peaceful-If she didn't have a small pucker in between her eyebrows. The day had been dry and dull, not just temperature wise... Just because she was 18 now-a woman. Didn't mean she couldn't see her best friend right? They had grown up together, they were practically family to each other... But they didn't see it that way. They being the women in the temple...well it wasn't really a they just a she. The old, feeble, stubborn Priestess Razih. Something about; 'Suspicious'

Mana had laughed hard and fallen off her stool when Razih had announced this. She had stopped when she glanced up the Priestess's grave face. And Mana's twisted into protest. "But that's not fair!" She yelled. "Atem's my best friend!"

To this the Honorable Razih rose a grey eyebrow. "Really...Is that all?" she questioned. The slender girl on her knees....had no comeback.

Mana's already puckered eyebrows itched more together when a dull thud interrupted her slumber. Another thud. She clawed at her pillow and pulled it closer to her. Another thud, and another...it was getting more and more aggressive. Mana's aquamarine eyes flew open and the right one twitched.

"Psssst! Mana!" a quiet voice rang out from the window. Mana froze. What on earth...? another rock was thrown up landing inches away from her bed.

Atem picked up another bunch of peebles off the ground. Toying with a white one in his right hand. "Psssst! Mana!" He called out again. He hadn't seen her all week-well he did see her today at breakfast. But that was only brief. This was his best friend for crying out loud! Atem had to talk to her...He threw the white rock as hard as he could, up at Mana's hollow bedroom window. Just in time for the now irritated brunette to poke her head out the window. A higher thud and a yelp from Mana told him that he had hit her head. He inhaled in shock, "I'm so sorry, Mana! Please forgive me?" Mana smiled at her best friend, "sure, just be more careful!" she whispered.

She looked over her shoulders and into the night the see if anyone was listening in. Atem could get in serious trouble sneaking out at night. "Atem!" she hissed lowly. "You are gonna get in so much trouble!" But Atem wasn't listening to her. He was too memorized by the way her long brown hair waved down her shoulders, without her hat on, and the way her eyes sparkled whenever he talked to her. A shiver ran down his spin-that had nothing to do with the cool wind.

Mana ducked back inside. Atem took a involuntary step forward. Mana reappeared. Holding her pink and blue wand. She muttered something under her breath. Suddenly Atem was hoist up into the air by his ankle. He held in a startled gasp, at the risk of getting caught. Mana easily flew him up and inside her room with a flick of her wand. Atem got his feet. "Levitation?" he gasped out, clutching at his chest. Mana nodded. A huge ear-to ear broke out on her face. Thrilled that she was talking to her best friend again. She jumped at him in a enthusiastic hug, wrapping her long legs around his waist. The suddenness took Atem by surprise. He fell down on the bed with Mana on top of him.

Mana giggled, while Atem went bright pink. Didn't she realize what this would do to him..'uh..oh' he thought. Panicked he threw a anxious glance up at Mana. Mana's expression was un readable. She unwrapped her arms and legs from him and reached out for something on the dresser. Her wand. With a casual flick. A bucket full of ice cold water hovered above his head. "You wouldn't!" he cried.

Mana laughed. Sending another shiver down Atem's spine. He laughed too. It came out rather ragged. She smiled at him.

He smiled back-a real smile, she was teasing him...like she always did...but not like this! "Mana?" he began warily. But Mana cut him him off by flicking her wand with a flourish and sent the freezing water over his head. Atem made a strange noise- cross between a loud startle gasp and a unmanly squeal. Mana giggled again and wrapped her blankets around him. "Y-your b-be-bed's al-all -wet" he shivered through his chattering teeth. Mana wrapped her arms around Atem's neck and shrugged into his shoulder. Her skin was hot against his, and it began to warm him up. He hesitantly pulled his arms out from under the covers and wrapped them around her waist. After a moment, Mana's even breathing still moved against his throat. So he pulled her closer to him.

He could feel Mana smile. And he smiled too. So...did this mean that she knew how he felt. Blood flooded to his cheeks. That was certainly not the way he had planned it....Mana shifted her weight, propped herself against the pillows. She ran a hand threw Atem's sapping wet hair, and giggled yet again. He looked so silly. She told him this. He just laughed. Mana's face was just inches away. His breathing got heavier as he stared deeply into her Bright eyes. Man leaned in. Her lips lingered inches away from his. Their eyes never unlocked as they kissed for first time.

When the sun began to set Atem reluctantly moved his mouth away form Mana's. "I have to-go" Mana wasn't listening, and continued to kiss him again. Atem momentarily lost his trace of thought. But his head cleared as the room got brighter. "No Mana!" he laughed and pulled her hands down, so they were folded on her chest. "Were gonna get caught!" he jumped off her bed and ran to the door. He shoved his tunic back on . He took one long agonized look of longing at Mana and then at the door. Mana laughed.

"I'll see you breakfast Atem" He flashed her a crooked grin, and his eyes, simply glowed. Mana's heart thumped loudly in her chest.
