34. It Started With…
~ The Bluenette and Brunet ~
"Were you listening to me at all?" Aqua questioned, in a mock hurt voice.
"Yeah…" came Leon's reply, although his ears and the back of his neck had become red.
That wasn't so strange, because he really felt embarrassed at his actions. Had he really been gaping at Aqua for that long that he hadn't realized that she was talking to him?
"Oh yeah? Then I'm sure you can answer this question; what was I talking about?"
"Uh…" To be honest, he had no idea. "It started with uhm…"
The blue-haired woman tried to stifle a giggle. He really looked adorable when he was struggling for words like now. Unfortunately for her, it didn't happen that often.
Deciding that she had teased him enough, she changed the subject. "Hey, shouldn't we head back now? It's getting pretty late…"
Leon, being more than glad that she dropped the subject, nodded. "…Yeah."
~ The Spikes and the Blonde ~
"Nami, someone's at the door for you," Aqua called from downstairs.
The blonde girl was still lying in bed, because, honestly, what else was there to do for her on a Saturday morning. Especially now that Ven wasn't here. And now she was thinking of him again.
It was needless to say that she was more than surprised that someone came here for her. As long as it wasn't someone whose name started with a 'V', she was fine with everyone who visited her.
Not bothering to brush her hair or change clothes, she walked down the stairs, towards the front door. As soon as she saw who it was, she gasped, because not only did this person's name start with a 'V', but it ended with 'en', too. The last person she wanted to see.
"What are you doing here?" she uttered.
"We need to talk," he replied, earnestly.
