"I'm kissing him?" Kyou screeched, Sunohara flinching involuntarily.
"He was the only guy who looked at you and said no," the girl holding his arm on the right giggled. "We thought it'd make the challenge even better."
"K-Kyou, who are these girls?" Sunohara asked, glancing about with wide eyes as Kyou leaned over to snatch the school photo the girl on his left was fanning herself with. He knew the picture was from their senior year but he was still a little confused as to how he had ended up here when all he did was see the picture and say he'd never want to kiss her. The parking lot was filled with bystanders and he tried to swallow the hard lump in his throat down.
"Shut up! You knew you did this on purpose," Kyou fumed, taking a step forward. Sunohara nearly shrieked but the girl on his right let him go to put her arm around the shaking violet-headed girl.
"Honey, all of us have to do this! Other sororities make it much worse! Besides," she gave him an appraising once-over, "he's not that bad."
"What did they ask you in the restaurant," Kyou growled, ignoring her friends. It wasn't a question, it was an order Sunohara realized.
"If I would make out with you," Sunohara winced again. "But obviously I said no otherwise I wouldn't be here!"
"If only I was that lucky," Kyou muttered, glowering at the girls laughing around them.
"Kiki, we just need to take a photo of you two so the seniors know you did it."
"But he's not a complete stranger! I've known him since high school," Kyou hissed.
"But we recorded him saying he'd never ever pucker up for you," the shorter of the two winked and held up the camera with a disarming smile. "And that is worth a whole lot more! Now say cheese!"
"Wait wait, I don't want to do this," Sunohara yelled, panicked. It was too late to run now that Kyou was now right next to him and a gathering of college students were watching from a distance. Kyou tossed her braid over her shoulder and spat out her gum with more disgust that he personally thought was necessary.
"You have to. I need to do this before tomorrow so shut up."
"Some friends you have," he retorted, face flushed.
"They're not the ones kissing me so I don't have to be mad at them," she snapped.
Sunohara stared at her, mouth open in disbelief.
"Just promise me you won't enjoy this or tell anyone," Kyou glared at him, her finger boring into his chest. "Or I'll rip out your test-"
"Ready Kyou?" The girl with the camera fixed the viewfinder to her eyes, slender fingers poised to take the shot.
"Make it short-" Sunohara started to say but Kyou suddenly took both his lapels into her hands and yanked down so that his mouth closed onto hers. Their noses bumped into each other but she shifted so that her face was tilted at an angle and he suddenly tasted cherries and strawberries. Then he heard the click of the camera and Kyou pushed herself away with a gasp. Her face was red but her eyes were round and Sunohara realized she had rubbed some of her gloss off onto his lips.
"Yeah Kiki! Hot as always," one of the girls cheered. Kyou strode over to them, ignoring Sunohara's nervous chuckle, and crossed her arms.
"Well finish the interview thing so we can go," she said with her back to him, voice low.
"Right. Hey dude, how was the kiss?"
Sunohara looked over and saw the girl who had interviewed the guys in the restaurant holding the video camera back up.
He opened his mouth, wondering what to say, his eyes moving back onto Kyou.
"Well I promised not to enjoy it," Sunohara started, feeling oddly pleased when Kyou's shoulders hitched, "but, yeah, it was alright."
She didn't turn around but the girls waved goodbye for her and tugged on her arms as they walked away. Sunohara grinned uneasily until they were out of earshot and he sighed, feeling dizzy in the cool spring sunshine.
"I lied. That was hot."
A/N: You know, the requirements to be initiated into sororities make great drabble ideas! XD I've heard great stories...but yeah, thought this would make a more believable kiss although I want to start working on the really romantic scenes now :D
Enjoyed? Please review!
