-Of Smirk Stealers-
Yeah, I know, I've got no idea what came over me either. Of course, it might have been the way she looked with tiny flakes of snow in her hair, and her cheeks so rosy from the cold, or it could have been the jealously in the pit of my stomach from how close she seemed to Mirco-Ice. But it was, most likely, the amount of alcohol in my system.
She responds instantly though, standing on her tiptoes and pulling me down to her by slipping her hands behind my neck. For my part, I simply hold her waist and push her back against the curving wall on the tunnel. She mutters something against my lips in an irritable tone.
"What?" I snap, "Kind of in the middle of something here, in case you didn't notice!"
"Sorry," I move my lips to her jaw and kiss my way down her neck, "It's just..." She sucks her breath in sharply as I bite down her neck before kissing the same spot. "Stop it."
"Stop what?" I ask teasingly against her collarbone.
"I can't concentrate with you doing that!"
"That's the general intention."
"Well anyway," She says forcefully, moving her head away, "you're too tall."
"That's what you wanted to say?" I stare (down) at her incredulously. "That's what you interrupted us for!"
"Uh huh." She says matter-of-factly. "See, everyone I know, and especially the ones I care about, are always so much taller than me!"
"So...you care about me?" I smirked, my hands, currently on her hips, pulling her close to me. An equally sly and teasing smirk slides onto her lips.
"Maybe...let's see what you can do to...persuade me..." I stare at her until incredulousy gives way to plotting.
"Well then...let's see, shall we?" She steals my smirk, before I lift her up, moving my mouth to hover inches from hers.
"Bastard." She mutters, dragging my mouth to hers forcefully.
I smirk.
