"Tabloids really like to attack us, boo," Anomie said, making an airplane noise as she hovered her spoon of ice cream into her mouth. He glanced her way, raising a single eyebrow as she continued to read the article on her sex life with Kakashi. "Oh my poopie. Read this: Anomie and Kakashi are officially together. Reports catch them holding hands while walking in the park with obvious chemistry in their pace."
"Ridiculous," Kakashi agreed in a deadpan as she made another airplane noise, this time sending the spoon straight into his mouth.
"We held hands for like five seconds. People need to chill," Anomie reached over with a napkin to wipe away a bit of chocolate sauce that had fell from the spoon and onto his cheek. "Like I held hands with my mom as I crossed the streets. What's the deal?"
"Did you though?" Kakashi asked with a knowing smile.
"I admit, it was more like hold onto the grocery bag that held her eight bottles of brandy, but it's a start," she said with a shrug. "I don't know. Maybe we should try dating again." At her response, he nearly choked on his water, feeling it burn up his nose.
"I've asked you to give me a warning before you start making couple jokes," he told her, shaking his head as she laughed.
"I'm not joking dude," she told him. "I mean, I've been thinking. We legit kiss all the time on set. I don't hate it. Although, we agreed, next time to not eat watermelon before hand. You know I'm allergic," she told him, an odd fact considering her character loved the fruit.
"You're serious?" His face slightly lit up.
"We already love each other. Why not try one more time to see if it's romantic and not weird friendship that is so close that it made my ex boyfriend break up with me," she said, leaning over her kitchen table and placing her hand against his cheek.
"Wait right now?" He backed up in the kitchen nook, away from her hand.
"It's been two months since we last kissed, and we've never done it without a camera swirling around us. How about it?" She scooted her ice cream away and took out her chap stick, puckering her lips and coating them.
"You're freaking me out. I asked you not to make these jokes anymore," Kakashi said noticing she was laughing before she sat down in her seat and began to eat more ice cream.
"Chill," she told him, leaning her cheek on her palm, her elbow resting on the table. "You get so jumpy. Makes my heart burst."
He rolled his eyes and stood up, turning around to walk away. Anomie's eyes widened, afraid she actually made him mad. She quickly stood to follow him, nearly tripping on her own heels
"Come on, I'm sorry. Don't be mad. I won't do it again-" she didn't get to finish her sentence as he turned towards her, nearly causing her to crash into his neck. She glanced up in surprise, but his eyes were elsewhere as he gripped onto his head and brought her closer. Unlike the kisses on set, this one was unplanned. She had no chance to prep or distance herself as his soft lips pressed against hers.
It wasn't like the movies or books or the heated passionate kisses between their characters. Kissing him didn't make flowers bloom or any of that cheesy crap that made her blush. It was just tiny tingles, and the feeling of awareness. She felt her adrenaline spike as she noticed the smell of his cologne, the feeling of his fingers tangled in her hair, the way his head was tilted so she could feel the sharpness of his jaw as she ran her hand up it.
It left her breathless and awake when he slowly separated, his eyes searching for an answer as to if they both felt something. That part was awkward and dangerous. This was not the time to disagree about anything.
"I don't know," she told him and he broke out into a laugh. She felt a brush of relief filter into her skin. "I mean, this kiss was hot. Have you been adjusting your technique?"
"I normally kiss this way. I change the position cause I like the camera to catch my good angle," he told her, causing her to let out a burst of breathy laughter. They leaned their foreheads against each other. "I don't mind kissing you, but it's a little..."
"Weird?" She finished his sentence with a slight smile, noticing that his hands still cupped her head.
"Yeah. Just weird. Like kissing my cousin," he said and she raised her brows.
"That's not offensive at all," she told him. "I felt a bit more than a cousin kiss."
"I don't know, Anni. It's complicated. Maybe a relative being our example isn't the best idea," he said with a smile that she returned. She raised to her tippy toes and gave him a peck.
Slightly less weird.
"Let's just not change anything between us and go at sloth pace," she suggested.
"Sloths can be speedy when they want too," he inputted.
"What are you trying to get at?" Anomie asked and he smiled, reaching forward to kiss her. It was gentle and unnerving. There might of been a spark there, but neither was certain. They had grown as people since the last time they tried this. Perhaps it could work.
She pulled him forward by the scruff of his neck, but her phone ringing made her pause. It didn't help that the song was a very filthy hip hop song about sex. She laughed into his face, making a reminder to change it.
"Hold up babe," she said, reaching into her skirt pocket and pulling out her phone. She didn't realize her hand was shaking until she accidentally answered it instead of pressing reject. "Shit."
"Greetings going downhill, Anni?" Rin's voice was amused, and Anomie's mood immediately elated.
"Gurl," Anomie poked Kakashi's nose who had already gotten bored with the conversation. "How's Spain?"
"Bien," Rin said, and paused. "Nah I actually just got back. Do you never look at my blog."
"Sorry, but all you post are shoes and soccer," Anomie said, running her hand up Kakashi's wrist with a flirtatious smile. "What's up? Kakashi's here."
"I thought as much. I'm not on speaker right. Cause I hate it when you do that," Rin warned her and Anomie sent Kakashi an apologetic smile before she turned around to walk away and give Rin more privacy.
"Not anymore. What's up, teacup?" Anomie asked and Rin sighed.
"There's a sex tape of you."
"Rin, babe. I worked in porn. Of course there's a sex tape about me."
"No. Of you and Youngho. It's legit and amateur. You're being flamed even more than before. Anni, you're hugely unpopular right now," Rin warned her and Anomie's brow raised.
"That puts a small damper on my Saturday," Anomie bit her lip, running a hand through her hair.
"It's Wednesday," Kakashi said from the other room.
"And now my Saturday is gone. Funny how time just flies by," Anomie said, placing her phone against her other ear. "Did I at least look fit in the video? Like was it a good day? What bra was I wearing?"
"I couldn't get past the part when he brought out the jump rope and the paddle," Rin told her and Anomie broke out in a laugh. "What kinks do you have?"
"Says the girl who looked up porn on their ex," Anomie told her, causing Rin to chuckle.
"I wasn't looking up porn. I google my friends when I wanna know what you guys are up to," Rin told her and Anomie paused.
"Thanks for telling me though. You're a good friend."
"Of course hot stuff. Gotta go," Rin made a kissy noise before hanging up.
Anomie smiled pressing the phone up against her lips before walking back towards Kakashi who was currently not in the kitchen.
"Boo you would not believe the bad publicity," Anomie said, glancing up to see Kakashi next to the door and next to him, by his feet, was a burning bag of dog poop.
Just before the entire thing caught flames, Anomie was able to read the words 'slut' written ok the front. Kakashi glanced her way with a deadpan. "I didn't know people even still did this anymore."
"How enlightening," Anomie agreed before letting out a soft groan. "It's burning a hole through my welcome mat!"
"What kind of poop do you think it is?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"Probably from a dog."
