*KISSES*
Eiko laid on her bed and cried into her pillow. "I..I can't believe he would do this to me!" She said between cries. Garnet, who was passing by Eiko's door, heard her crying and went on in to see what was the matter. "Eiko? Eiko, what's wrong?"
"Vivi! He..he went out with some other girl! He kissed her and everything!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes i'm sure!" Eiko said sitting up on her bed. "He said it himself! He was right outside my balcony and he said he kissed some other girl and he was going to try to hide it from me!" Garnet grabbed a tissue off of her nightstand. "Here. Dry your eyes. I'll go talk to Vivi."
"Alright. Thanks Garnet."
"No problem." She said and walked out towards Vivi's room.
-Meanwhile, in Vivi's room-
Vivi was laying down on his bed staring at the ceiling thinking about that night. *This won't be so hard to hide from Eiko. I'll just keep my mouth shut about the whole thin..* He stood up when his door swung open and Garnet came in the room and started yelling at him.
"HOWCOULDYOUDOSUCHATHINGTOEIKO?!HUH?!YOUREVERYTHINGTOHERANDYOUGOOFFANDMAKEOUTWITHSOMEBIMBO?!"
"Garnet! Calm down! I can't understand you!"
"How can you do such a thing to Eiko?!"
"Do what?!"
"Go make out with some bimbo?! How could you do that to her?!"
Vivi gulped. "I..it was an accident. I didn't mean to. It just...happened."
Garnet gave him a piercing glare. "Well, because of that Eiko is crying her eyes out and it's all because of you!" Vivi felt like he swallowed a lemon. "E...Eiko knows?!" Garnet kept on glaring at him. "Yes, she knows. She heard you outside when she was on her balcony." Vivi's heart sank and he sat on his bed. "Oh no. This wasn't supposed to happen! I was just taking her to the theater. We were just friends and she kissed me." Garnet sat down next to him and seemed to calm down. "Well, you should tell Eiko exactly what happened and explain to her that it was an accident."
"I will. Later!" Vivi said and shot off to Eiko's room.
-Back to Eiko-
Eiko sat on her bed and started to think. *Does Vivi still love me? Have I not showed him enough affection? Or was he just playing with me all these years? No! He loves me. I know he does. I'm sure whatever happened was not his fault.* Just then, her door creaked open slightly and Vivi nervously poked his head in. "Um, hi Eiko." He stammered. She felt like throwing whatever she could find at him, but then he walked in and asked, "Do you mind if we talk a bit?" Eiko calmed down enough to say, "Sure."
"Look, I know you heard me when you were on your balcony and I just wanted to straighten things out."
Eiko turned her head away from his and tried to hold back tears. "Wh..whats there to talk about? You've obviously found somebody else. So you don't need me anymore." A tear fell down her cheek. "No! No! That's not true! It was an accident."
"How was it an accident?!" she was now staring at him with tears running down her face. "Let me guess, you accidentally slipped and fell on her lips, is that it?!"
"No! Look, me and her were just going to the theater as friends. I didn't tell you because I know you would freak out. After the play, she grabbed me and kissed me. I didn't kiss her. I pulled away and ran all the way back here." Eiko calmed down and dried her eyes with her sleeve. "Oh. Sorry. I guess I shouldn't have over-reacted. Sorry Vivi." she said and lightly kissed his cheek. He kissed her lightly and left for his room.
-Back in Vivi's room-
Vivi walked in the room and started looking for his calendar. "Where is it?" he said while digging through his dresser. "Aha! Here it is!" Vivi said pulling it out. He stared at it for a bit. "Only three more days. I can't afford to lose her." He put the calendar back in his dresser and went off to sleep.
-Back at Eiko's room-
Eiko got up to see who was knocking on her door. She opened it up to see Ben, who looked like he just came out of a war zone. He lifted his hand to show Eiko a purse. "You…dropped this." Was the last thing he said before passing out and falling on the floor. "OMG! Ben!"
-5 minutes later-
"Ben? Ben?"
"I'm up, i'm up. Quit shaking me already."
"Oops. Sorry." Ben was sitting on a couch and looked around to see where he was. "Where am I?" Eiko grabbed a cup of water and handed it to him. "Your in my room. Someone or something beat the shit out of you."
"Actually, it was a bunch of somethings. Some Ironites ran me down and started to beat the living hell out of me. The only reason i'm alive is because some of your perfume came out of your purse and the smell scared them away." Eiko playfully hit him on the arm. "Hey! I like my perfume, thank you!"
"Well, they didn't. And i'm pretty glad they didn't, or i'd be dead."
"So, you came back, found my purse, and got beaten up by a bunch of monsters, just to return it to me?" Ben shook his head. "I can't help it, i'm a gentleman sometimes."
"Well," Eiko sat down on the couch next to him. "Being a gentleman this time almost got you killed." Ben moved slightly closer. "Well, it's all thanks to your skanky perfume that i'm alive!" Eiko playfully hit him again. "It is not skanky! It is some of the best perfume money can buy."
"Maybe from the old hags section but..."
"Why you little!" Eiko got up and grabbed her purse and swung it at him. He quickly dodged it and fell to the ground because of the injury on his ankle. "OMG! Are you ok?" Eiko grabbed some bandages and wrapped up his injury. "Thanks. Where you trying to hit me or something? Cuz you weren't doing a good job." Eiko grabbed her purse and swung at him again. He dodged it and backed up a bit. She started to chase him around her room and he tripped on the bed. He grabbed a pillow and tripped her up. She fumbled a bit and landed right on top of him.
They were both laughing but they stop when they looked into each others eyes. Ben grabbed her chin and lowered her head. She lowered her head until their lips met in a passionate kiss. They laid there kissing each other for about five minutes until Eiko realized what she was doing. Eiko shot up and looked at Ben, then she ran out of her room and into the garden. She sat down and started to cry. *What the hell was I thinking?! I kissed him! We kissed each other! Vivi will never forgive me for this! I might as well kill myself, with everything that's happening, and three days before my birthday! I wonder if I should just jump off a cliff. Or tell one of my eidolons to aim at me. Or...* She had exhausted herself to sleep.
