Swing Set

He saw her sitting on the swing; gripping the chains so tightly he was sure they'd bruise her hand. She was trying with no avail to get the swing to move but her legs didn't reach the ground thus she just kept wriggling in her seat.

He had been training in the park; it was easier to practice without the disturbance of his strident team mates. While he was going home he just had a desire to peek into the little kids' area. Their childhood unlike his seemed so carefree. He felt nostalgic for something he had never experienced. He had thought that he'd sit on the swing for a while, and then head back to the dojo before the others started worrying.

He had never expected to find the brunette he'd been thinking about on the way there, to be sitting on that very swing, trying with no avail to get it to move. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, when he saw her exasperated and pouting face. He was torn between going over to her, or taking the easy way out and going home. But he just couldn't resist leaving her like that. Why wasn't she getting off? He thought. Of course, she's stubborn! He concluded. He decided it'd be better to help her out otherwise she'd probably end up spending the night in the park, freezing to death before she'd get off. Besides, he just had an urge to spend time with her. He hadn't been able to for some time, since they were busy training for the upcoming tournament.

He walked over to her. He gave her swing a push. She felt the swing move, when she felt someone's presence behind her she visibly tensed, but relaxed when she saw the black fingerless gloves. She exhaled a loud sigh. When Kai saw that the swing had started moving, he walked over beside her and sat down on the swing next to Hiromi's.

She exhaled a sigh, "What's the point of all of this?"

Kai gave her a puzzled look, "Of what?"

"You, me, the team?" Hiromi started; her eyes seemed to be spacing out, "What's the point of us being friends when we are all eventually gonna go our separate ways."

Kai didn't know what to say. At that moment he realized that he didn't want all of it to end, he wanted for them to be together, always. Even after when they'd stop beyblading. He felt this urge to tell her, that he wanted to be with her, and never part ways.

Hiromi got up to get back. There was no point of sitting there now that she had accomplished what she wanted, getting the swing to move.

As soon as Kai noticed her get up, he felt the need to tell her what he wanted. Now or never!

He grabbed Hiromi's hand and turned her so that she was staring at him.

"I don't know about the others," Kai started slowly, "But, I want to be there with you as your friend, forever."

Hiromi blinked at him.

"I guess forever starts now," Hiromi smiled and kissed Kai on the cheek and ran off.

"Catch me if you can," Hiromi said, letting out a small giggle.

Kai smirked, and sprinted after her.

Just a thought that popped its way into my head when I was giving my Chemistry exam, and it just wouldn't get out! ^^
