My First Prom

(Warning: There's a LOT of kissing XD)

"Hitori," I muttered as I stared in the mirror at the tux I was wearing, "are you sure holding a prom at an all-boys school is such a good idea?"

Hitori finished fixing his tie, "Well, I'm not the one who came up with the idea but I really don't think so. Why do you think we're going to be there watching and make sure none of them aren't hiding?"

I blinked and looked at them, "Why would they be hiding?"

He met my eyes for a moment, "Think about it for a second, Kazuaki."

I did…

Then it clicked.

"… Oh."

He chuckled, "Yeah."

I paused, "… Were you like that in high school, Hitori?"

"Hm? You mean hide somewhere in the school and make out with a girl? Not really. Yo-" He stopped himself, "S-sorry."

"It's ok, Uzune, I was too scared to go anyway… but I am a little scared now."

He blinked confused, "Why's that?"

I glared at him slightly, "Because you invited Sakura!"

He broke into a smile, "Ahh~ I see, don't be like those teenagers now, Kazuaki."

"U-uzuneee!" I cried, shocked.

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

As if on cue the doorbell rang, "Ah! That must be her now!" He turned towards me, grinning like a cat.

Oh I knew what he wanted.

"… No."

"Kazuaki, she's your date, you know."

I quickly shushed him but he only laughed.

Glaring I shoved him out of the bathroom and shut the door.

"Fine, fine!" I heard Hitori call out.

His footsteps then walked away from the door and soon I heard the front door open.

I only heard their muttered voices.

I frowned as I glanced at myself in the mirror.

I never wore a tux before and it felt a bit rugged but I guess that's just the fabric.

I breathed deeply, trying to calm down, "Everything is going to be fine," I told myself, "just fine… we'll be with other people. We won't be alone. We-we won't be… Wh-what if she wants to-?" I felt my whole face flush, "I… I really got to stop thinking like that," I exhaled, holding my head, "this isn't working…"

"Are you done talking to yourself, Nanaki?"

I jumped at the sound of Sakura's voice. I had no words.

"Now are you going to stay in that bathroom all night or are we going?"

I gulped as I slowly reached for the handle. My hand was trembling as well as my whole body.

Instantly I jerked away, "I-I'm sorry… I-I'm really nervous…"

"You don't need to be, it's not like we're going to be alone or anything."

"I-I know… I-I just…"

"Open the door, please."

I took another look at my red face and I quickly ran the sink and splashed water onto my face. I grabbed a towel and patted it against my face. I took another breath as I set the towel down and reached for the door handle.

Almost regretfully I opened the door.

Oh how I didn't.

Sakura was wearing a dress with the most beautiful shade of purple.

No glitter.

No designs.

Just a plain purple dress that somehow made her gorgeous…

..zua….i…

Was someone talking to me…?

"Kazuaki," I finally heard Hitori's voice which made me snap back into reality, "Your mouth is open."

"W-wha—? I-…! Uh!" I swallowed, trying to speak again but I was truly breathless.

Sakura smiled and giggled, "I guess I can say the same about you too."

I felt her lips against my cheek.

Again I tried to speak but nothing would come out.

"Yup, you broke him."

She laughed, "I'm sorry!"

"N-no!" I finally got out, "D-Don't be! Y-you're… Y-…you're… I-I can't really find any words to describe it."

In the dim light I saw her blush, "Coming from an English teacher that's very surprising and thank you. You look amazing as well."

"H-heh… thanks."

Hitori smiled, "Let's go, you two."

As we walked to the school, I glanced nervously at Sakura. I couldn't help but wonder why she wanted to come so I decided to ask, "Um… Sakura?"

"Hm?"

"Wh-why did you want to come?"

She smiled up at me, "So I can dance with you, silly."

I felt my cheeks flare up from embarrassment.

B-but I don't know how to dance!

I looked at Hitori, "A-are we allowed to dance, Uzune?"

"I don't remember any rules permitting it, as long as we watch the students I guess it's fine, besides we have more teachers, don't we?"

"R-right," I replied nervously.

"You alright Kazuaki?"

"O-oh, I'm fine…"

Sakura smirked, "I guess someone's nervous about his first dance."

I jumped, "Y-you know?!"

"Uzune told me."

I glared at him.

"She was going to find out eventually, you know."

"Sh-shut up…"

Her lips pecked my cheek and squeezed my hand, "Don't worry about it, I'll teach you all you need to know."

I felt like I was in high school again.

Awkward. Embarrassed. Scared.

If Sakura wasn't holding my hand I probably would've bolted out of the room.

Actually I did have a strong feeling to do so but she squeezed my hand once more. I looked at her and she smiled sympathetically up at me.

In her eyes she was telling me to calm down.

I'm trying, I really am…

… And so we stood there… awkwardly for me anyway...

Hitori stood there like he was an expert. He's so cool unlike me…

I took a breath and glanced at Sakura.

I-I really wanted to ask her to dance but…

One: I don't know how to dance

Two: I'm a nervous wreck.

"Yes?"

I jumped, shocked.

"Sorry, you were staring at me," she smiled, "do you have something to say?"

"I-I…"

I breathed, "… S-Sakura…?"

"Yes, Kazuaki?" She waited for my question.

I felt nervous again. I gulped, "W-would you like to… um… c-care to…"

"Dance?" She interrupted, "I'd love to."

I looked at Hitori who gave me a smile and a thumbs-up.

I smiled slightly, gripping her hand and slowly advancing towards the floor.

Truthfully I had no idea what to do. The student around us peered over at me just made me more pressured.

Sakura began to smile, "Do you not know how to slow dance, Kazuaki?"

"N-no…" I answered honestly.

"I'll show you then. Put your hand on my hip."

I blinked, "What?"

She giggled and repeated, "Put your hand on my hip."

I slowly obeyed.

"Now take my hand."

I did so…

"Other hand," she snickered.

My whole face turned red as I took her other hand, "S-sorry…"

"It's alright," she placed her free hand on my shoulder, "Follow my lead now."

I gazed down to watch her feet.

Slowly turning in a circle while moving your feet was a bit difficult… for me anyway…

"Don't turn, turn with your feet."

"What? That doesn't make sense."

"Watch and follow."

I did so… Ooohhh.

"Do you get it now?"

I nodded, still looking down at her feet while following the motions.

I felt her hand leave my shoulder and touch my chin. She lifted my head up, smiling, "now let's try it without looking."

I felt my face was lit on fire.

"I-I rather not…" I realized afterward how rude that sounded.

Thank goodness she just laughed, "Haha, and why not?"

"I-I… I feel… nervous… Ignore me, I'm being stupid again," I stopped moving.

She lifted my head back up to meet her eyes once more, "you're not stupid, you just had never done this before… this is actually my first time too."

My eyes widen, "R-really…?"

She nodded, "I hated being in public so I didn't go but now… it doesn't matter because I have you with me."

I flushed.

I felt her hand clasp mine, "Do you want to stop or keep going?"

I stared into her eyes for what felt like a long while.

Slowly I placed my hand back on her waist and nodded.

She smiled and we slow danced to the music.

It was a very… happy moment for me.

Then I stepped on her foot, "Ah! I'm sorry!"

"I-I'm fine," she grinned, "I was waiting for that to happen."

I felt my heart pound.

"I don't mind, I'm really enjoying this."

"R-really…?"

She nodded.

I slowly smiled.

And so we continued dancing, with me stepping on her poor toes a few times.

Suddenly I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see Hitori behind me. He smiled, "Mind if I have a turn?"

I hesitated then glanced at Sakura.

She snickered, "You're the man, Kazuaki."

I sniggered a bit nervously, "Right, sorry, of course."

I stepped aside for Hitori to dance with her and I slowly walked off the dance floor.

I stood there, leaning against the wall, near the snack table, watching them. Hitori never did once step on her feet.

I envied his… everything.

No, you are not going to be jealous over nothing.

I took a breath, trying to calm down.

I felt like I was standing there for hours from my boredom. The slow song then ended and turned into something that sounded like pop.

I have never seen an atmosphere change so quickly it was fascinating.

Then I saw Hitori come out of the crowd without Sakura.

Swallowing, I met up with him, biting my heat back, "Where'd Sakura go?"

"She said she was going to the bathroom."

I blinked, "… but she would've walked passed me if she was."

Hitori too then blinked, then examined the area in thought, "You're right. I'll get her."

Immediately I stopped him, "No, I'll find her."

"Kazuaki, you're not jealous, are you?"

I froze, "…. N-no. Why would I be?"

"You know you just need practice in dancing, you'll be a natural in no time."

I know he was trying comfort me but I still couldn't help but feel heated. Without another word I walked around the crowd of students to the other side of the room and out the door into the hallway.

I looked around and soon spotted Sakura a few ways away from me.

"Sakura!" I called after her.

Before I realized what was happening I was being pulled into the staff room by Sakura.

Confused I said her name again, "Sakura, what are you—?"

Suddenly I felt the wall at my back and her lips pressed firmly against mine, overwhelming me with surprise.

My heart is pounding louder than ever.

I think I was shaking.

She was kissing me more… roughly than usual… to be honest it felt… nice…

Then I felt her lips leave mine which made my heart pang.

I stood there, breathing heavily. I thought my heart was going to shot out of my chest.

Slowly I looked at her, panting as thoughts raced through my head.

Never in my life have I ever wanted something in my whole life so bad.

I wanted to kiss her so badly…

She looked like she was about to leave. Without thinking I grasped her arm and whispered breathlessly, "Sa-Sakura…!"

She looked at me; she looked like she had something to say but something in my heart made me pull her towards me.

I pinned her to the wall like she had, my hands on the wall beside her head.

She was staring at me.

I opened my mouth, wanting to speak but nothing came out as I lost myself in her eyes. Slowly I moved towards her. How badly I wanted to kiss her but… I was hesitant. I felt nervous.

Then I saw her smirking at me.

"Just kiss me, Kazuaki."

I shuddered at her words.

"You have no idea how badly I want to…" I could myself shake with anticipation.

"Then why don't you?"

I immediately did. I copied from before of how she moved her lips and head. I heard what sounded like a moan from her and then felt her return the gesture against my lips.

I completely lost myself within the kiss and never have I felt so in love.

(Sakura's point of view now o/o my face has never felt so hot XD)

I felt his side to check outside… great I lost Souma…

I glanced back at Kazuaki. Heh, I have never seen his face look this red. I felt a bit bad for him for just kissing him like that from out of nowhere without explaining why... Souma who I was previously perusing was just ahead of me. I'm not sure if he had heard Kazuaki's yell but I couldn't have my cover blown just like that but I had to find him again.

Kazuaki's big brown eyes slowly looked at me. I'm sure he was speechless.

Wow he looks so adorable right now.

I smiled sympathetically and whispered an apology.

Before I had a chance to leave the room his hand grabbed my arm, "Sa-Sakura…!"

I looked at him, biting my lip. Now was not the best time to explain but… he did something completely different. He took the hand that was gripping my arm and pulled me towards him. He then released his grip and… placed his hands in between my head.

… Is he pinning me?

He was staring at me with those beautiful innocent eyes. Slowly he moved his foot a small step towards me then the other. Our foreheads touched, his eyes still glued to mine. I saw his lip was quivering.

I smirked. Aw, he wants to kiss me, he's so cute when he's nervous.

"Just kiss me, Kazuaki."

He shuddered and… did he just moan? "You have no idea how badly I want to…"

His eyes were fluttering as he shook, staring at me longingly. I thought he was going to collapse at any moment.

Wait a second… he-he wants to make out? I laughed inwardly, Ooooh, what have you gotten yourself into Sakura?

"Then why don't you—?"

Right as my sentence ended his lips instantly met mine. My head met the wall as he kissed me a-a bit violently, a moan suddenly escaped me... His kissing is gentler than this a-and I just moaned! Geez, how is he just a good kisser?

Hm… So he does want to make out… Heh, let's not try and spoil him then~

I returned the kiss equally, gripping his jacket. I felt his body flush against mine as well as the wall at my back. I didn't even mind. What was, was kissing him. I think I was losing myself in this kiss and I know he already has. His hands were practically messing up my hair in which I didn't even seem to care about. I smirked within the kiss and pulled his hair.

I felt him wince in responds and heard another moan from him.

My lips parted from his for air. Almost instantly he reclaimed them roughly.

Soon his lips parted from mine, panting. I grinned, grabbed him by the tie, and yanked him back to my lips.

(Back to Kazuaki)

I loving this … then a light suddenly filled the room, forcing me back into reality when I wasn't ready. Our lips parted for good this time and I squinted in the shining light that came from the door.

A… flashlight?

"… Mr. Nanaki?"

I-I recognized that voice…

"I-Iwaminie-Sensei!"

He stared at his with that dull scary expression he always had, "… To think you would be the last person I would find doing this."

…E-eh? Wasn't he on the look for students who ran from the auditorium so they can….

Oh…

I gulped, "I-Iwaminie, it's not like that—! I-I mean… um…"

"Just go back to the auditorium."

"Y-yes…"

I grabbed Sakura's hand and walked out of the staff room.

When we entered the auditorium, prom was about over. From the other side of the room I saw Hitori come running over.

"Where have you two—?" He bit his lip, pressing a smile.

I blushed, "Wh-what?"

I asked even though I knew the answer.

"K-Kazuaki, I want you to look at your suit when we get home."

Yup, my face is red again, "I-Is it that messed up?"

He nodded.

"Sorry," Sakura muttered.

"Nice hair," he commented.

"Shut up. I'm tired. Can we go?"

"Well, most of the students went home already, I guess so… Unless you two want to walk alo—?"

"No."

"Alright, alright."

I frowned, "wait."

They looked at me confused.

I turned towards Sakura, "…It's nice slow music… Um… d-do you want to…?"

She stared at me then smiled, "Sure, why not?"

I took her hand and led her once more to dance.

This time, I avoided her feet…

Alternative ending:

And so we walked home. Suddenly Sakura pulled me aside, "Ok, where did you learn to kiss like that?"

"K-kiss like what?"

She rolled her eyes, "C'mon now."

"Um… I-I just… copied what you were doing, I-I guess. I… I was kind of lost in the moment."

I saw her smirk, "Oh I know."

"I-I didn't do anything did I…?"

"No, no… it's just your kissing was very intense."

"S-sorry."

"Don't apologize. I liked it…"

I stumbled in my path, "Wh-what?"

"I said I liked it. You're quite a good kisser, and that's coming from someone who's had quite a few boyfriends."

Aaahhh….

"I-I… don't even know what to say…"

"What are you two love birds talking about over there?"

"None of your business, Uzune," Sakura instantly responded.

After we dropped Sakura off Hitori grinned at me.

"… Just say what you want to say, Uzune… I'm tired."

He chuckled, "I bet you are, so how was your first time at a prom?"

I stopped walking, surprised at his question.

He stopped and looked at me, "… what?"

I shook my head and we kept walking.

"… It was great," I finally answered, smiling.
