Day #12: Making Out

Pranks aren't supposed to be planned out. They're sudden, quickly thought and they're done. Simple, right? Well, apparently not. For some odd reason, everything seemed to mess up when the couple were involved. It started basically when Elliot hid in the closet for a prank. A simple..stupid..prank.

Long story short, Elliot hid in a closet in order to scare Cecilia. After what seemed like forever of hiding (He was surprised that neither the servants or Sebastian had found him yet. This closet was used, wasn't it?)Anyway, hearing light heeled footsteps coming down the hallway and he continued to wait for the opportune moment. The minute the footsteps were close enough to the door, he sprung out and grabbed the girl by her arms and covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from screaming. Managing to drag the struggling girl into the closet and the door slammed closed.

Laughing, Elliot finally let her go and Cecilia wasn't amused.

"You think scaring people is funny?!" She scolded, but the boy continued to laugh.

"You should have seen your face!" Elliot mocked her. He was so lucky she didn't pull her gun out the minute he grabbed her.

"..Yeah, whatever. Let's just go." She ordered, still trying to calm her racing heart from the fright.

Climbing over her, Elliot grabbed hold of the doorknob and tried to open it. Problem was, it was locked from the outside. "Uh..we may have a problem."

The minute the blonde said 'problem', she knew there was nothing good coming out of his mouth. "What is it?"

"We're..kind of trapped in." Elliot reluctantly admitted. It was far too dark to see how angry Cecilia was already getting.

"What?!"

"I'm sorry!" The blonde cried, already cowering in the corner.

The two tried to bang on the door to get the attention of the other servants, they tried calling out Sebastian's name and screaming for help. Nothing. So..they were stuck there..for god knows how long.

"..You know, I really am sorry."

"..Shut up." Was all Cecilia needed to say to keep the blonde quiet for a few more moments.

So, they sat on opposite corners of the closet, but really they were so close together because of how small the closet really was. With Elliot's head resting against Cecilia's shoulder, all they could do was wait to be found.

".But you do have to admit that this is nice quality time.."

"..If I wanted to spend time with you, I wouldn't do it inside of a closet."

"..True." Elliot sighed as he sat up, cracking a few columns in his spine as he did. "..But you do know I care, right?"

At his question, Cecilia nodded her head, but it was still dark and he couldn't see. "Of course I know." She told him, resting her body against his.

Wrapping one of his arms around her waist, he held her close. Now, it was clear that these two didn't really act like a couple..they experimented with a few things and since they were practically stuck here and they had nothing better to do, Elliot leaned down and gingerly placed his lips against hers. Taken back slightly from the gesture, she automatically pulled back. "What are you doing?" She asked, her voice sounding curious in the darkness.

Of course, the blonde had no defense for himself. "..I just thought I'd try it." He told her honestly, looking away from her even though they couldn't properly see.

As their eyes began to adjust, Cecilia reached up and gently caressed the boy's cheeks as she made him look back at her. Hesitant, she leaned up to press her lips back against his own. It didn't take long before Elliot got the message and returned the gesture. Wrapping his other arm around her slim waist, he tugged her into his lap despite the crammed never really knew how soft Cecilia's lips were until they were locked, he could practically feel the slim fingers tugging the short strands of his hair as their bodies closed whatever space was left.

Just as fast as it started, Elliot pulled away for air. Feeling Cecilia's heated forehead up against his own cooled one, he smiled faintly. "You alright..?"

He felt her nod, her fingernails gently scraping the back of his neck. "Yeah, just..never done this before."

"Well, that makes two of us." He laughed softly and quickly stole her lips again in a chaste kiss.

Slightly smiling against his lips, the bluenette was slowly leaning back in for another kiss - but was interrupted when the closet door suddenly opened. Only to reveal Finnian and Bard carrying what belonged in the closet.

"-Young Mistress?" The gardener asked, somewhat confused as the disheveled girl quickly crawled out of the closet and Bard pulled her to her feet.

Too embarrassed to even say anything, the girl stormed off as she brushed herself off. Probably to her study as the blonde crawled out moments later, Finnian pulling him to his own two feet.

"What were you two doing in there?" The 'chef' asked, lighting another cigarette.

Elliot, keeping his smile, simply shook his head. "Nothing of importance."

The two servants stood there in confusion as the younger blonde quickly took off. Probably to follow after the girl to finish what was so rudely interrupted.

I never expected this chapter to be so late. Eh, it happens.

-Major out of characterness, but I did the best I could. I: I'll try to get the next one so much earlier. This was ridiculous.
