This is actually my favourite. I really love it.

Day 14 - Genderbend

Kaito was never fond of these big parties, held for only the most prestigious scientists the world, as well as their families if they had any. Haruto, being too young to attend, was left at home. So, whilst his father discussed things with a co-worker - Byron something, he didn't really care enough to listen - Kaito was left on his own to talk to other people his age. The thing was, there weren't many that were his age at all.

And that was when he had spotted a young lady, standing alone, sipping a glass of white wine as she watched couples dance along to the romantic music with a rather blank expression. He was rather plain-looking; there weren't many curves, and she was somewhat flat, but there was definitely something there beneath that blue and white dress. And for some reason, he had caught himself staring at her. And so had she.

Her gaze caught his, and he had found himself walking towards her. There was something about her that struck Kaito as odd, and he was going to find out what that was, even if he was lead straight into some sort of trap. As he walked, they never broke eye contact, until he was close to her. It was only then did the two of them realise there was a significant height difference.

"Are you here alone?" Stupid, overused, and overall unneeded line; she looked too young to be a scientist of any kind. But what else was there to ask? Oh, right. Her name. God, he was an idiot.
"No," she answered, taking a sip of wine. "I'm here with my father, and my younger brothers."
She was kind of intimidating, but it didn't appear to be on purpose. Maybe it was due to the fact she was abnormally tall, and that he was kind of on the small side. "My name is Kaito Tenjo. And you are?"
"Christina Arclight." She held her hand out to him.

This could have gone either two ways; either shake her hand as if she was nothing but a business partner, or he could have gone with the more gentlemanly option. Gently, he grabbed her hand, and brushed his lips against her knuckles, before letting go of her hand. Her once icy, blank stare warmed up a little as she took her hand back.

The music in the background ended, and a new song began. This time, it was Kaito's turn to offer his hand to her. "Would you like to dance?" She nodded, taking his hand. He led Christina to the dance floor, where other couples had already taken their place, dancing away the night. He wrapped an arm around her waist, and she wrapped an arm around his shoulders. He grabbed her free hand and led the dance, despite being the least dominant-looking one.

Kaito was rather enjoying himself, though that might've been because his face was in a somewhat soft place. Or that was just a small bonus. On the other end, for the first time, Christina allowed herself to relax around the shorter man, and even ended up enjoying herself. She closed her eyes, taking in the moment. She wasn't much of a dancer, or much of a person for cheesy romances, but she would just have her small segment of a moment. She followed his movements until they became natural, and she no longer had to think. That helped; this moment made her head cloudy, but in a rather wonderful way.

"Sis!" she heard a familiar boy's voice, snapping her back into reality and pulling her out of the clouds. "Father said we're going home!"
When she turned around, it was her youngest brother calling out to her, who was standing with the rest of their family. Reluctantly, she let go of Kaito. "I guess I should go, then."
"Wait, before you go," he said without really a thought as to what he was going to do.

She looked down at him as a couple of seconds passed, confused. Why had he stopped her? She had to go, and he wasn't exactly doing anything. She made a move to step back and to join her family, but he grabbed her hands, stopping her from going back further. Instead of offering an explanation, he stood on the tip of his toes and pressed his lips firmly against hers. When he pulled away and let go, she was stunned, and her cheeks were dusted pink with a very light blush. Without another word, she turned away to join her family.

"Took you long enough," the oldest of the two brothers muttered.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that the entirety of the world revolved around your life and needs," she replied as they all walked away.

Perhaps Kaito could have asked his father if he knew a method of contacting her. The fairytale didn't need to end there for them.
