VII: Watching You
By: Ceriadara

I watched you.
I watched you as you smiled, your face lighting up, flashing white teeth to the world. Your eyes were like little suns, or golden flowers - they lit up the world. When you laughed, the world went silent so it would be able to listen.
I watched you as you flushed and giggled, playing with the hem of your shirt. You always do that when you're nervous, you know - you also bite your fingernails and tear at your bottom lip with your teeth when you think no one is looking.
I watched you as you flinched away from the water as the glass dropped and shattered on the bar. Amid the profuse apologies spilling from the gaping hole of that Japanese monster's mouth, you smiled softly and shook your head.
I watched as you blushed deeply, eyes widening ever-so-slightly, as his hand brushed yours. You bit your lip timidly, and I could just imagine you glancing up at him from beneath your eyelashes, laughing breathlessly.
I watched as he almost-smiled in return, taking a firmer grip on your slender fingers. I saw your chest heave as you took a shocked breath, and I imagined the look on your face - a mixture of anxiety, shock, and fear, I was sure.
I watched as he leaned in closer to you so that his mouth brushed up gently against yours. I watched as you responded, hesitantly and clumsily, and never before had I wished so badly that I could be him than at that moment.
I watched as the room filled with whistles, clapping, and laughter. You were looking at your feet, biting your lip yet again to hold back your smile, blushing. I knew what you were thinking, then: Is he for real?
I watched your look of disbelief gradually change into one of relief as he wrapped an arm around your slender waist and pulled you close, brushing his lips against your forehead. He is for real.
I watched you - and I cried.

A/N Ehm. I have no idea. Blame chocolate ice cream?
Yeah.
Angst.
