Runo's POV (Little while before Dan comes downstairs)
Keep Calm.
Keep Calm.
KEEP CALM WOMAN!
I kept chanting this mantra in my head, but unfortunately it made me anything BUT calm. He doesn't know that I am here, means that I may have the head start by running out of the door right now. My thoughts were halted when Dan's father came downstairs. The first thing I noticed was how much Dan resembled his father. His nose, facial structure… When suddenly he landed on the floor with a thud.
"Sorry" He mumbled as his face turned beet-red, and he threw his hand at the back of his neck.
'Totally Dan's father' I thought.
"Oh honey" Ms Kuso said, as she sighed, as my mother suppressed a laugh while my father couldn't contain himself, since he ended up falling on the floor laughing, while I was too busy thinking about Dan. Been doing that for a while lately.
My mother nudged my father into making him quit laughing, and with one glare sent towards my father, it was milli-seconds before he sat upright on the dining table we were seated on. Silence filled the room-again, since my mother and Ms Kuso were gossiping in such a low tone, even werewolves wouldn't hear them!
Ms Kuso went to the kitchen in order to bring the dinner that I was craving for. As she left for the kitchen, I looked down at my thighs, as I kept fidgeting with my fingers, since my hair was neatly tucked into a French braid, while I wore a grey tunic, dark tights, with black knee length boots.
I kept making different shapes with my fingers, as Ms Kuso entered the room with a bowl of something really delicious. My stomach roared with hunger, but the hunger subsided when she said "Honey, can you please call Daniel? I totally forgot about him!" Well, that's why you don't lose contact with your High school BFF's, since you end up forgetting your own flesh and blood.
And as if on cue, the brown haired boy haunting my dreams walked down the stairs in his oh-so-amazing gait. I took a deep breath, repeating 'Keep calm', and waited for the impact to occur.
As he reached the end of the stairs, I grabbed the hem of my tunic and let the material cloud my thoughts.
'Why am I so nervous?' I thought, and then looked around at Dan's and my parents. 'Right, because of that'
I looked over to the corridor, only to get my blue eyes intermingle with two chocolate brown ones.
"R-Runo?" He asked.
Screw this. I'm Hungry.
"Ms Kuso, can you please pass me the rice?" I asked, ignoring Dan's gaze.
"Mom, what is she doing here?" he asked, pointing towards me.
Okay, there are many things I can bear in this world-including the Stefan and Elena moments- but NOT when people talk about me when I am RIGHT there!
"She is right here, you know" I answered in the same tone Dan had asked, "and She was invited by your mother for dinner" I replied, with a fake smile across my face. 'When did I become so confident in front of the school's hottie?' I thought to myself.
"Oh" Dan managed to say, and sat down on the only empty seat left on the table. Next to Mine. Dear lord, what sin have I made that you made my life so unfortunate?
As he comforted himself on his seat, I could practically feel his heat surge towards my direction. But I ignored it, and instead put all of my attention towards the amazing food in front of me.
"Did I tell you how awesome of a cook you are?" I asked Mioko- yes, we're already on first name basis-as I helped her clear the table.
"Yes, the fifth time, actually" She replied, as she giggled.
"Oh, sorry" I blushed, as I gave her the last utensil on the table.
Right now, my dad and Mr Kuso were ranting about the political schemes taking place in our country, while my mom, Mioko and I were getting the table cleaned.
"You know what Runo, I'll let Dan show you his room, while your mom and I catch up some more" she said, as she took the plate from my hand.
They were blabbering the whole dinner, what else do they have left to talk about?
"No, it's fine Mioko" I assured her, ignoring the thumping on my chest, "Besides, I think Dan might be busy right now" I said, showing her that he is nowhere to be found.
And again as if on cue, we hear the toilet flush, and Dan pop out of the hallway.
"There he is" Mioko smiled, "Dan!" she called out, making Dan raise his eyebrows-making him look REALLY gorgeous, by the way- "Yeah, mom?" he asked, walking towards her,
"Can you show Runo your room?" She asked, as I bit my lower lip.
"Sure" he answered nonchalantly.
Seriously? Isn't he supposed to be nervous of showing his room? Instead I AM the one with stupid loud heartbeats thumping against my chest?
Oh yeah. If you didn't notice, I am very short-tempered.
"Here it is" he said, opening his room's door.
I looked around. It basically looked like a normal teenage boy's bedroom, a computer, a messy bed with clothes scattered on it, and a half open wardrobe.
"It is… interesting" I answered.
"Oh, yeah!" he said, walking towards his bed and picking up a box, "I totally forgot about your shoes!" he continued, when I remembered myself 'The shoes that Dan had told me to buy!' Just by thinking that, a blush crept up on my face.
"Why are you blushing?" he asked, as I took both of my hands and almost slapped them on my cheeks. "I am not blushing" I said, turning towards the closed door behind me, making him chuckle. 'Even his chuckles are hot! Is it even humanly possible to be hot in everything? I mean, I am pretty sure he farts hot too!'
After I realized what I said, the blushed immediately subsided; instead, a nauseous feeling appeared on my stomach.
"Runo, you are weird" he said, confused. "First you blush, now you look like you are going to puke"
"Well, thanks allot Captain obvious!" I retorted. If only he knew what made me want to puke…
He inhaled a deep breath, as he sat down on his bed and gestured me to sit by him.
This is sooo normal, isn't it?
Sarcasm 100% intended.
Ignoring my thoughts-once again- I sat down beside him. As I sat down, my fingers mistakenly touched his, making an unknown electric bolt rush through me, as I quickly pulled my hand away.
'Look somewhere else! Distract, Distract, Distract yourself!' I thought, only to see a picture of Mira on the wall, making me frown inwardly.
"So, you didn't break up with Mira?" I blurted out, catching him in surprise.
"Huh?" He asked dumbfounded. Instead of answering, though, I pointed at the picture on his board.
"Oh, that thing!" He said, "I barely even saw it, she made me hang it up on my wall so I can look at it and it will lighten up my mood" If he was talking about the relationship or anyone BUT him and Mira, I would've cooed at it, but I didn't, instead, I felt slightly jealous of her right now, but the jealousy was short-lived as Dan chuckled.
I looked around to see what he found hysterical. "Instead of lightening up my mood, this thing tended to give me the creeps" he said, making me chuckle as well.
"Then burn it" I blurted out again. Is it possible to swallow words? Because I think I would want to die right now.
Instead of looking at me like I was crazy, Dan looked thoughtful for a while.
"You know what? You are right" He said, as he went towards his desk and took a lighter from one of his drawers.
We both started at it Mira's face smeared in the flames of the paper.
I didn't realize that I was smirking until my right started hurting. I guess even my body couldn't react its best by seeing the face of Mira get destroyed; the face destruction was enough joy for me already.
The Dinner was over, and I was sitting my window sill, repeating the memory when Dan burned Mira's picture. Don't blame me! I just saw my crush burning the face of my solemn enemy!
You heard it. I just said the word 'crush'.
Yes, I do hereby admit that I had a crush on Dan Kuso, the best looking jerk on the planet.
'But what about Pyrushotdude..?' I thought, letting a loud sigh fill the sound of my silent room.
"I wish they were the same person" I said out loud, "That would've made my life SO much easier!"
And with that, I walked over to my bed, and let the drowsiness take over me…
A/N:
How was it?
Fave/Follow/Review (Please :))
Oh, a question: Do you guys want something on Shun and Alice too? Or are the beauty and drama of Dan and Runo enough in the next chapter?
Haha.. I wish I would tell Runo that her wish was fulfilled: P
