Through Your Eyes

"It's all in the eye of the beholder," Kashino read out loud, "I've told you that before, haven't I?"

"Does this story get interesting Kashino?" Ichigo whined. Kashino sighed, he and Ichigo were in his room, Kashino was trying to read Ichigo the book she need to read for their book report. He rolled his eyes, Oh why did I have to be paired up with her? Ichigo was stretched on Kashino's bed while Kashino sat in his desk chair, reading the book aloud.

"Baka, you're supposed to be taking notes on the book while I'm reading, what good is reading the book without having anything to use to write the book report after?"

She pouted, "You didn't even give me a pencil."

Kashino put the book down and handed her a pencil, "Geez, you couldn't have asked me 10 pages ago?"

"No! I couldn't have," she replied, "You weren't paying any attention to me, just that book."

Shaking his head, Kashino picked up the book again, "You see, depending on the beholder of a situation, it can either be good or bad. A situation can be pronounced 'good' or 'bad' depending on the eye of the beholder."

Ichigo groaned in frustration, "That doesn't make any sense! This book is stupid!"

Kashino rolled his eyes, "It makes perfect sense, come on, are you so much an idiot you can't understand a simple book for a high school book report?"

"I am not an idiot!" Ichigo snapped, "Why did the teacher assign us a book like this anyway?"

Kashino sighed, "If you had been listening in to our language arts class you would know, this is part of the topic we're learning!"

"How are eyes related to language arts?" Ichigo whined.

Kashino closed his eyes to keep him from yelling at her, "It's a metaphor Amano, 'eye of the beholder' means seeing or feeling what a person experiencing a situation, it's like reading a book in first person."

"... What does 'first person' mean?" Kashino put the book down, exasperated.

"First person, you know, like in books when the author is writing as the character, like 'I am going to the park'?"

"Okay," She nodded, but slowly her eyebrows furrowed, "You're going to the park?"

"No!" He snapped, the volume of his voice rising slightly, "It was an example!"

Ichigo whimpered softly, "Don't get mad at me!"

"I'm not mad!" He quipped.

"Then why are you yelling at me?" She cried.

He lowered his voice, "I'm not trying to, it's just..." He sighed, "Just... Never mind."

Ichigo took one of his pillows into her arms. "I'm not trying to get on your nerves, my mom just always taught me to ask questions about things I don't understand."

"Then why not ask the teacher then?" Kashino asked. Subconsciously putting his bookmark in the book and closing it.

Ichigo buried her face in the pillow and murmured softly. He smirked at her sudden shyness, "What was that Amano? I didn't understand you."

She lifted her face out of the pillow, "The teacher's explanations don't make any more sense, and I just get more confused." She blushed and looked away, "Your explanations are always simpler."

It was Kashino's turn to blush, "You think so huh?" He stared at the closed book in his hands, "It gets annoying, but I'm glad you think that."

Ichigo looked back up at him, a confused look on her face, "Why is that? If it's annoying, why are you glad?"

"I..." Kashino began playing nervously with the book's pages. "I get to spend more time with you."

"Eh?" Ichigo asked, clearly not understanding.

"I mean, look around," Kashino's blush deepened into a darker shade of red, "We're alone in my bedroom at night."

Ichigo's face went red, all the way down her neck and to the tips of her ears. "I-I'll go b-back to my room if this is too weird..." She whispered. With shaking hands she began gathering up her stuff.

Kashino stood up, his blonde bangs covering his eyes. He sat on the bed and grabbed her hands to stop her, "No, stay here."

She pulled her hands away, "But you just said that..." Suddenly Kashino cut her off by kissing her on the lips. She was taken by shock and pretty much fell over. Kashino had his arms wrapped around her, so the both landed flat on his bed.

Ichigo couldn't take it, "Gah!" She broke off the kiss and scrambled into an upright position, "Kashino!" She wailed, clearly embarrassed for having fallen on his bed in such a position.

Kashino smirked, "Let's use this as an example, say that I look at your point of view of this situation. Through the eyes of the beholder, or you, how does the situation feel?"

She tried to say something, but it came out as a small squeak. "Or say I was the beholder. Through my eyes, what do you think I feel? Do I think this situation is good or bad?"

Ichigo could feel herself blushing again, though she considered Kashino's question. "I think... If you were the one who kissed me, you'd think this was a good situation."

Kashino nodded, he raised his eyebrows, "Do you understand now?"

Ichigo quietly nodded, "I think so."

Kashino smiled, "Good." He kissed her again, he then finished it off by hugging her, loving the way her body just seemed to fit so well in his arms. After staying in that position for a while, Ichigo wiggled out of the hug, she grabbed her stuff and got up from the bed, "I'll finish writing my portion of the work tonight." She laid a hand on the doorknob, "Oh and Kashino?"

"What is it Ichigo?"

"I thought the situation was good too." She whispered quietly.

He smiled, "That's good."

She turned to face him, "And," She said, a hint of playfulness in her voice, "this is so not going on our book report.

He laughed, "I didn't think so." She opened the door, "Good night... Ichigo."

She nodded, "Good night," then she left. Going back to her own dorm, the first thing she did was grab her pillow and scream into it, "OH HY GOSH! KASHINO KISSED ME!"

Back in the boys' dorm Kashino smiled, "That was one study night."
