Lavi gently set Nicolet onto her bed. After the Head nurse looked her over, she was given a sleep medication and sent back to her room on strict bed rest, saying the hearing coming back was something to rejoice for, not to worry about. Lavi INSISTED on escorting her there. Well, carrying her there.

He sat down next to her, then clumsily pulled the bottle of medication the head nurse prescribed for her earlier out of his jacket pocket. She looked up at him awkwardly.

"U-um…I can do it myself Lavi…"

Lavi's eyes widened, then he jumped up.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was just so worried about you earlier…I…I guess I just-"

He was cut off by Nicolet's lips against his. He jumped a little at the sudden action, his eyes as big as saucers. Nicolet pulled back suddenly, embarrassed.

"I-I'm sorry… I wasn't thinking just then…" She looked down at the floor, her face bright red.

However, Lavi did the exact opposite of what she expected. He didn't leave, or run off or yell at her. Instead he lifted her face up, smiled at her, closed his eyes, then brought her into a kiss.

Nicolet was completely caught off guard. Sure she kissed him…but that was an accident, right?

But Nicolet couldn't tell herself to pull away. The feeling of Lavi's lips against hers just felt so…amazing. All she could do was let her eyes flutter close and melt into the kiss.

Lavi was the first to pull away for air, but quickly pulled her back for another go. The kiss was stronger than before; more passionate. But Nicolet didn't mind, positioning herself on his lap with her arms around his neck. But Lavi had another trick up his sleeve; tickling her.

Nicolet gasped to the feeling of Lavi's hands tickling her sides, and he slipped his tongue into her mouth as she squealed in laughter at his touch. She jumped at the sudden movement, not knowing what to do. This was her first kiss…she had absolutely NO IDEA what she was supposed to do at this point…

But Lavi seemed to know exactly what he was doing, and Nicolet let herself fall into it. Before she knew it she found herself lying on the bed, Lavi on top of her, his lips never leaving hers. Nic succumbed to the unknown feelings and emotions running through her mind and body, just letting go. And then-

Knock knock.

"Nic, are you in there? It's Lenalee! Lavi, I know you're in there, so let me in!"

Nicolet quickly pulled away, looking down at her knees blushing. Lavi couldn't help but smile at the sight, then gently lifted her off of his lap and stood up, motioning for her to do the same.

"You might wanna open it…we don't want Lenalee getting the wrong idea now, do we?"

"What? You…you can hear now?"

Nicolet nodded eagerly, snapping her fingers by her ears as proof. Lavi jumped out of the way as Lenalee lunged to gather Nic in a clumsy hug, squeezing the life out of her. Mic glanced at Lavi behind them helplessly, her face turning red from lack of oxygen. Luckily Lavi came to her rescue.

"Uh, I think you better let go of her Lenalee…she can't breath you know…"

Lenalee stopped her squeezing and looked up at her almost unconscious friend, releasing her. Nic collapsed onto the bed panting heavily, Lenalee crouching over her saying sorry over and over. Lavi chuckled at the pair and walked over, sitting next to Nicolet. Lenalee stopped speaking for a moment, a look of alarm on her face.

"Lenalee? What's wrong?" Lavi asked worriedly.

Lenalee looked up at the sound of her name with a playful look on her face.

"Heh, nothing. She just fell asleep. It seems that medicine the Head Nurse gave her is pretty strong. But anyway, this just proved my little theory I've had going on for a while now…"

Lavi stared at her, clueless as to what she meant. Lenalee went on.

"Uh, let me rephrase that; you just proved to me that you like Nicolet. I knew that if I pretended something was wrong with her you wouldn't hesitate to know. You just gave everything away with that one little thing…so tell me; what's goin' on? Hmmmm?"

Lavi didn't know what to say. She figured it out? Was he that obvious? Great, he thought to himself. Does anyone else know about all this?

Lenalee stared at him expectantly, obviously wanting the whole story. Lavi sighed.

"Alright," he started, a bit irritated. "I'll tell you…"

Uh, well, there you have it! This was my first make-out scene I've ever written, so do tell me if it was all right. Thanks a lot you guys!
