Disclaimer: I don't own this song, it's [c] O-Town, and this
chapter's from Taichi's POV.
Shy Girl.
Standing with the wallflowers,
Wishin' you had stayed at home.
You kicked yourself for coming,
When you're standing there all alone.
The centers of attention are busy makin' all their moves.
While all the guys are lookin' at them,
I got my eye on you. (Only you.)
"Sou ka .. I dare you to kiss
Taichi-san."
"NANI DA!?'' Mimi screeched, blushing
like mad; and made me twitch.
I heard Miyako, Sora, and Hikari giggling,
and the other guys snickering; all Koushiro did was blink.
"You said dare, ne." Takeru
simply said, grinning ear to ear. I was beat red, blinking as I gave Mimi a
sidewards glance before eyeing Takeru.
"Awwwww, c'mon, Mimi-chan! You and
Onii-chan look cute together." Hikari smiled.
".. Damnit." I said, taking a
deep breathe and sighed. Her face a brighter shade of red than mine before she
looked at me with her light chocolate colored eyes. I thought I was going to
melt right there and then.
"You're okay with this .. eh,
Taichi?" She inched her closer to mine, I did the same.
"H-hai .." I gulped, nervously.
I could notice everyone else just .. staring at us.
What should I do?! I cursed at myself silently, as Mimi and I faces kept
getting closer and closer ..Damnit, should I start it? Wait, she's the one
who's supost to start it, right .. GOD I'm so con-- she started it. Her lips
were pressed up againest mine, her eyes closed. Naturally, I shut my eyes and
kissed back.
You might think you're nothing special.
You might be losing heart.
But baby don't you realize,
How beautiful, you really are?
Takeru blinked, eyeing his watch. "20
.. 21 .. 22 .. 23 .."
"H-how long?" Hikari stuttered,
looking over his shoulder; causing the blonde boy to blush.
"Ohhhhhhhh no Miyako-chan, no
frenching Ken-chan today." Miyako grinned evilly towards Ken, who turned
bright red and looked down to his own watch.
"90 .. 91 .. 92 .. 93 .."
I had a hand on Mimi's cheek, Mimi's arms
around my waist.
".. 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 .. DAMNIT
TAICHI LET GO!" Takeru yelled, sweatdropping; as well as everyone else.
We both went wide eyed blushing, and pulled away. Everyone else staring at us
in pure, utter shock.
Shy girl; it's written on your face.
A mermaid outta water, feelin' outta place.
Shy girl, tryin' to hide a blush.
Caught you lookin' for a second, felt my heart rush.
Don't run away, don't be afraid, don't be shy, girl.
So beautiful. ( So beautiful )
Shy, shy girl.
The game continued for about another hour, and then it died. Takeru and Daisuke
were battling each other in a video game, everyone watching. I had an arm
around Mimi, staring at the screen. I was so dense at that moment I couldn't
tell she was glancing at me from time to time. Hikari was sitting behind
Takeru, cheering him on. That's my sister for you .. she'd do anything to screw
Daisuke up in the game
so her boyfriend would win. Miyako was sitting inbetween Iori and Ken; Iori
cheering on Takeru, Ken cheering on Daisuke. I was cheering on Daisuke too,
just to see how my little sister would react.
Yamato and Sora were watching blankly, like Mimi and Koushiro. Jyou was reading
a book. This time, I caught Mimi's gaze as she looked up at me, I looked back
down at her. She blushed, smiling. I smiled back before looking back to the TV
screen.
Moving in closer, slowly tryin' to break the ice.
But its hard to get a lock on your downward glancing eyes. ( Ohh yea. )
You might think you're nothing special,
But I'm about to lose my heart.
Baby don't you realize, how beautiful you really are?
Shy girl it's written on your face.
A mermaid outta water, feelin' outta place.
Shy girl, tryin' to hide a blush.
Caught you lookin' for a second, felt my heart rush.
Don't run away, don't be afraid, don't be shy, girl.
"Well .. it's getting late, ne?"
Hikari yawned before putting her chin on Takeru's shoulder.
"H-hai .." He turned bright red,
blinking.
Daisuke snored, before blinking and
rubbing his eyes, I sweatdropped.
"Maybe .. we should head home, eh?
It's 11:30." Koushiro blinked tiredly.
"Yeah .. c'mon, Mimi-chan." Sora
hugged Yamato before she got up.
Mimi had her head on my shoulder, her eyes
half way open. "I'm to tiiiiired, Soraaa." She yawned.
"Yanno, ne. It is a little late ..
maybe me and Taichi should walk you guys to Sora's?" Yamato suggested.
I raised a brow at him, blinking.
"Yeah .. Jyou and Koushiro can take
the other's home, eh?"
"Hai, hai." Jyou closed his
book.
"C'mon, Mimi." I blinked, taking
her hand and standing up. She whined, rubbing her eyes.
Everyone left the appartment, I waited for Mimi as she put on her shoes and her
jacket. I streched my hands behind head, watching her.
"Ne .. Taichi?"
"Nani yo?"
" .. Did you mean what you said
early?" She sat on the couch, tying one of her shoes.
"What did I say again?" I looked
to the side, blushing.
"About .." she stood up, walking
towards me. She turned my head so I could look at her. "Liking me."
Now I'm standing right in front of you,
I confess I'm nervous too.
Girl you know there's something goin' on.
And not to give it a chance could be so wrong ..
I blinked, staying silent for a moment as I stared at her, then rubbed the back
of my head.
" .. Yea, I meant it."
She looked at me, and smiled. She kissed me on the cheek before she took my
hand, a brow arched.
"So, are you going to walk me home or
not, Yagami?"
"And what if I don't?"
She smacked me upside the head lightly before she dragged me out of the
apartment, ignoring the dumbfounded grin plastered on my face.
