"Wait up! Why are you walking so fast?!" a young petite vampie called out to her older brother. He continued walking at the same pace, his overgrown hair hitting him in the face with every step he took.
"I want to find the hill. I heard the stars look beautiful on that hill," he responded.
"So? What's the big deal? We can see all the same stars at home. We can even lay out in the pool and look at the stars," Aisu responded, trecking through mud and knocking insects away from her.
"It's not the same," Winter replied. They continued to walk in silence as the neared the hill that Winter so desired. He clutched his mothers camera to his chest, hoping to get some good shots. He wasn't sure if the stars would show up on the camera, but he wanted to try.
A few kilometers away was their famalies camp site. The Kuran's didn't go camping very often; once in a blue moon. They often enjoyed camping, but it's quite a pain to plan for so many people to go camping.
The brother and sister duo continued until they had finally reached their destination. Out of the woods stood a bare hill. It was very steep on one side, but the view from where they stood was perfect. Aisu clutched the back of Winter jacket when she caught up with him. She led out a small gasp when she realized how beautiful they stars looked.
Winterhawk sat down right where he was standing. He even laid back a little, and grabbed his camera to start taking pictures. Aisu sat down next to him, their knees bumping into each other. Aisu watched in silence as her brother snapped away. She continued to watch the stars while laying down next to him, hoping for a shooting star so that she could make her wish.
Her heart started beating faster, slowly, bit by bit. She was excited about something. No, more like nervous. He brother heard the slight difference in his sisters heart beat as it slowly became louder and louder.
"What is it?" he asked. Aisu blushed at her own thoughts. She had tried to ignore it for so long up until now, but now that she was alone with her brother, this boy that she had feelings for but could never admit, it all felt so different.
"It's nothing..." she said in a soft voice. Winter continued taking pictures, never once breaking his concentration.
"Liar. Just tell me," he said. He used his 'big brother' voice. She hated when he did that. She really wanted him to see her as more than his little sister, but she doubted that he ever would.
"It's just... me and my friends were talking," Aisu began.
"Oh good," Winter said sarcastically. He learned that whenever Aisu began with 'me and my friends were talking...' it never ended well.
"It's nothing bad, it's just... they were talking... about..." Aisu stumbled. She couldn't quite find her words or figure out what to say. She didn't want to be too obvious, but she didn't want him to not take her seriously. What could she do? Without thinking, the words flew out of mouth.
"Winter, have you had your first kiss?" Aisu asked. Suddenly, the snapping sound of Winter's camera stopped. He slowly laid the camera next to his head and looked at his little sister. He was blushing slightly. Aisu felt like she crossed a line.
"No," he said bluntly. Aisu blushed even harder then she already was. Feeling embarrased, she turned her head back to stars, trying to ignore the tension that she had created. Winter continued to look at her from the side, never taking his eyes off of hers.
"Why did you ask that?" he asked. Aisu shrugged, not wanting to talk about it anymore. She shouldn't have said that, it was stupid, she wasn't thinking...
"Did your friends tell you to ask that?" Winter asked. Aisu's eyebrows came together in confusion.
"No," she said.
"Then what is it? I can tell when your lying, so just tell me," Winter said. Aisu sighed, knowing her brother was right. He knew her way too well, which was now a flaw in their relationship.
"My friends were talking about their first kisses. I'm the only one that hasn't had mine yet," she explained. Now it was Winter's eyebrows that were showing his confusion.
"What? You're only eleven," he said, letting the slight shock and the even slighter disgust show in his voice.
"So? They've all had their first kiss!" Aisu said, frustrated. She hated, truly, truly hated, when people didn't treat her like she was mature. She was actually very mature for her age, but because she was generally a happy person, she always was treated like a little child. How could people pretend like she wasn't old enough to want to kiss people?
"Well, why? All your friends are vampires, what's the rush? We have plenty of time to kiss people. Even if we were humans, we'd still have plenty of time to have our first kisses. There's not need to rush something like that so soon," Winter said. Aisu thought about it... she wasn't sure if she agreed with him. She wasn't even sure what to think. She finally turned to look back at her brother.
"You know how mom and dad are from Japan?" she said. Winter hid it very well, but he almost blushed from how his sister used such a sweet, innocent voice.
"Yeah..." he said. It was pretty obvious to everyone around that their parents were Japanese.
"Well, I heard that in Japan, people get engaged when their only like seventeen years old. I bet they started kissing when they were eleven!" Aisu said. Winter chuckled, taking in his sister childishness.
"Where did you get that? Anime and manga?" Winter asked.
"Well is it wrong?" Aisu said, getting frustrated again. She sighed and looked back up at the stars, annoyed. Winter chuckled again and also looked up at the stars.
"I don't think comic books and cartoons can accuretly represent what a country is like," Winter replied. They layed in silence after that. They could only hear the crickets chirping, nothing else. They both thought of the conversation that they just had, both of them rethinking their positions, but neither of them really changed their mind.
It took a while, but finally, Winter spoke up.
"Just wait for the right person, and I bet your first kiss story will be better then any of your friends. Wait for someone who's willing to love you, not just kiss you," he said. Aisu slowly turned her head to her big brother. She was in awe of his words. Winter didn't look back, he just continued look at the stars above him.
"Not everyone who is willing to kiss you is willing to love you."
Neither of them knew it, but a only about twenty feet away stood their father. Kaname smiled, proud of his son.
Two Years Later
"Do you remember all the conversations we had up here?" Aisu asked, munching on another stick of pocky. Winter stole one and replied.
"Yeah. This is where we had the infamous 'first kiss' talk," he replied. Aisu giggled and covered her face. She rolled onto her side, her back facing Winter.
"Don't remind me. That's so embarassing! I can't believe I was so worried about that. I'm so happy I waited," she replied. Winter blushed slightly, looking at his sisters back.
"You did?" he asked. Aisu's cheeks also tinted slightly. She rolled onto her back again and looked back at him. She nodded her head. He smiled back. They both turned back to look at the stars, just like they had two years ago.
"I'm the same age you were," Aisu said.
"Mm-hmm. Thirteen," Winter agreed. He played the conversation over and over in his head, and decided to mention it again.
"In a couple years I could get engaged in Japan," he said jokingly. Aisu began to giggle again. She really was quite stupid for a eleven year old...
"How was I supposed to know? I had only read it in manga!" she laughed. Winter only smiled, still looking up. Aisu's laughs began to slow down as she remembered why they were here camping again.
"I guess we'll find out of it's true. We have to move to Japan anyways now..." she said. She didn't really want to leave... she had a life here, and she was bit terrified of going to a normal human school. She bit the inside of her lip. Winter looked at her, a bit sympathetic. He was a little scared too. He searched for her hand in the darkness, and when he found it, he slowly slid his hand into hers.
"It's okay. I'll be there too," Winter said. He looked back up at the stars, but Aisu looked at him. The way his hand felt in hers... it was a strange but good feeling. When they had talked two years ago on this hill, everything was so different. How could two years possibly change so much in only two years. Winter was no longer a moody thirteen year old. Now he was so different... she was so different, and she wasn't afraid anymore.
"Winter?... Have you had your first kiss yet?" she asked. Winter smiled and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. She smiled back.
"No. Have you?" he asked.
"No," Aisu said while she shook her head no. Now it was different. Now it was Winter who's heart began to pump a little harder. Now he had the butterflies... and Aisu could tell.
"You were so eager though," Winter said, mocking her. Aisu chuckled. Then, her attitude seemed more serious. She looked at him with a little more meaning and purpose.
"You told me to wait, so I waited," she replied. Winter's eye's widened. Was she saying... no... that wasn't... did she... Why was this all so confusing?! Luckily, Aisu broke the tension.
"What about you? You're fifteen. Why haven't you kissed anyone? I'm sure you have friends who aren't even virgins anymore," she asked. Winter chuckled. He would never admit, but she was right; some of his friends were already having sex, and then there was Winter, who's lips were still virgins. He nodded.
"True, but... I've been waiting too," he admitted. Aisu smiled. She knew it... now to just get him to say it.
"Waiting? Waiting... for me?" she asked. Winter blushed. He turned his head totally to look at her. He smiled and nodded his head.
"Mm-hmm," he said. Aisu smiled back, only her smiled was a little wider. She almost giggled, but tried not too.
"Prove it to me," she said. Winter's smile faded as a blush grew even deeper across Aisu's cheeks. She turned her head back to the stars. Winter slowly lifted a finger. He traced his little sisters lip, feeling the softness of her lip balm that had worn off. Aisu's smile dissapeared too as she concentrated on his touch.
"Close your eyes and I will," he said. Yes. She did know it.
Following her brothers orders, she slowly closed her eyes. She felt the warmth of Winter's hand dissapear from her own. His finger moved down to her chin as he pushed her head up a bit. Then she felt it.
Winter lightly pressed his lips on hers. Both of them felt some sort of relief. It felt good... they were finally honest, and it felt very good. Their lips moved in perfect rhythm. Neither of them wanted it to stop...
Aisu had never seen Winter this passionate before, and Winter had never seen Aisu this confident before. They liked seeing this new side of each other.
Winter pulled back gently and gently licked his sisters bottom lip. Aisu, taking the hint, opened up her mouth. Winter pressed his back on hers as their tongues began to dance in responce to each other. Neither of them had ever done anything like this, but they worked so well together, it didn't seem to matter. Their compatability made up for their lack of experience.
Eventually they had to stop kissing. They pulled apart, both of them catching their breaths. Winter pressed his forehead on hers. They smiled at each other, blushing.
Let me know if there are any other one-shot/extra's you would like to see.
