This Kiss
Disclaimer: No, I don't own these characters, and the song belongs to Faith Hill. (I was listening to her songs. Ok? I'll try to find different people..). So, don't sue me.
A/n - Hey! PLEASE R/R, I need the help and critique. If you read this far, I'm so grateful. And yes, I was bored and 'depressed' when I wrote this.. So sorry for not writing sooner, but those darn teachers give to much math and history homework!
Right now, this is from Neal's POV. ~ ..~ means thoughts. I have figured that much out.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
It's the way you love me baby, It's the way you love me darlin', It's the way you love me baby, It's the way you love me...
Neal walked into his room, thinking. ~ I really have never seen Kel act like this. It has to be really hard on her. ~ He sat on a chair, looking out of the window.~ This would have to be the first time this has ever happened to her. I wonder what she'll do? Beat up a practice dummy most likely. I hate seeing her like this. I wonder if she knows how pretty she looks when she's happy?~ Neal pondered ~ Where did that thought come from?~
Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the door. "Hey Meathead! Let me in! We have to talk!" came Dom's voice from outside. Walking over, Neal slowly pulled open the door.
"What do you want with the likes of me? And I've told you before - it's SIR Meathead to you insubordinate!"
"Right. Anyways. Enough with the talking. Did you notice anything wrong with the way Kel's acting lately? Or is it just me? Do you know what's wrong?" Dom asked relentlessly as Neal closed the door.
"Whoa! One question at a time cousin dear! You mean she hasn't told you? Well, I guess she wouldn't. You remember Cleon right? The big red - head?" Dom nodded. "He just showed up about a week ago, and brought his betrothed. And introduced her to Kel." Neal stated slowly.
"Oh. That's why she's acting strange. I saw her riding just a few moments ago, and she looked really miserable. I thought she had gotten over Cleon!" Dom said.
"Well, I guess she hasn't. Hey, I'll see you at dinner Pig-head?" Neal said as Dom turned and left. "Sure thing. You can't get rid of me that quickly."
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssss
~Kel's POV~
As she asked Peachblossom to canter, she saw Neal coming towards her on his mare Midnight Dreamer (do they ever say his horse's name?). As he neared, she smiled at him. "How's it going?" he asked her.
Kel sighed. "Alright. Not to much is happening. What about you? It thought that you would be inside still, leaving poor Dreamer here to be locked up in her stall."
"Mmmm. So did I. Until a little birdie told me that you needed some company. And I don't mean your little friends there" Neal said, pointing to the sparrows on Peachblossom's back.
"Oh." Was all that Kel could manage at that moment. She looked up into Neal's emerald eyes and saw them twinkling. ~Just like little emerald gems. Except you can't get lost in stones, and anyways, his eyes are more beautiful.~ she thought. ~Oh no! BAD thought. Bad.~
I don't need another heartbreak,
I don't need another turn to cry.oh
I don't want to learn the hard way, Baby hello, oh no, goodbye, But you got me like a rocket, Shooting straight across the sky
~ Why am I feeling like this? I really am fickle~ Kel thought sadly. "How about some fencing?" she asked Neal, hoping to stop her mind from thinking these strange thoughts.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When they reached the practice courts, Kel drew Griffin, her sword that the Lioness had given her. Stretching, she noticed that Neal was doing this also. When he turned at the waist, Kel saw how his muscles filled out his cream shirt. ~ Ugg. I don't know why I'm noticing these things! Why?~
After half an hour of fencing, Neal and Kel started back towards the castle. "Kel?" Neal started.
"Yes Neal?" Kel said absently. They were now at her rooms. "Can I come in?"
Kel looked at him quizzically. "Sure." Wondering why he had asked this, she opened the door. "Take a seat."
Neal walked over to the window, which looked out onto the gardens, which were alive with color. "You know, I'm so glad that this war is over. It was really depressing for me up there."
"Why? Because you miss Yuki?" Kel teased. Seeing Neal's shoulders stiffen, she looked at him in surprise. "Neal, what's wrong?"
Sighing remorsefully, Neal turned around. "Yuki ran off to the Yamani islands with another man. A Yamani man." He said sadly. ( a/n doesn't that sound weird?)
"Oh Neal. I'm sorry! Here you are, being nice to the miserable me, when you have your own problems!" Kel exclaimed.
Cursing, Neal walked over to Kel, sweeping her up in one giant hug. She looked up into his eyes, and couldn't look away. Suddenly, Neal kissed her softly. Pulling back, he looked at her, and she nodded. They kissed once more, but this time, not so softly.
It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) impossible
This kiss, this kiss
Unstoppable
This kiss, this kiss
Still kissing, Neal pushed towards the bed. Dropping onto it, His tongue explored her mouth. Kel moaned. They room was exploding with passion.
A few minuets later, Neal and Kel were down in the mess hall, trying not to grin and look to suspicious. Falron and Merric looked at them strangely.
"Hey you two. Where were you this afternoon? We were looking for you." Falron said, grinning.
"We were at the practice courts. First riding, and then fencing. Then we got ready for dinner." Kel said. Neal nodded. Turning to him she said "Eat your vegetables. You know they're good for you."
"Yes Mother." Was all Neal said.
@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@O@ ~ I wonder what the others are thinking~ Neal thought as Owen sat down. ~ I hope that I didn't scare Kel off this afternoon. She seemed to like it. But then again, you can never tell with her~
Owen plunked down with his tray, looking at the two of them. "So Owen, how do you like being a knight?" Kel asked. ~ Anything to get him off my mind. That was wonderful, but what if he didn't mean it? I don't want another broken heart. What have I gotten into?~
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby I'm forever yours
Looking at Neal pick at his vegetables, she let a small smile escape. This was proving to be a very interesting night.
It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss
Unsinkable
This kiss, this kiss
Just at that moment, Dom walked in, grinning at the two of them. "So how is my Mother and Meathead doing today? Enjoying the lovely weather and the beautiful gardens are we?" he said, winking. Neal glared at him, and Kel sat there, gaping. Merric, Owen, and Falron looked at the pair in wonderment. "H..How did you know?" sputtered Kel.
Dom looked at her with mischief in his eyes. "A certain Lady Knigh't window faces the garden fountain, and I was out walking. I happened to glance up and. well.you know."
Neal let out a sound that sounded like a cross between a squeak, a cough, and a scoff. A very strange sound.
After much teasing from the gang, Neal left. A few short moments later, Kel followed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Neal pulled Kel onto a balcony, and they kissed passionately. Pulling back, Neal held her closely. Gently pushing on the back of his neck, Kel pulled him back down to her.
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pourin' inside, oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let everything slide
You got me floatin'
You got me flyin'
Brushing her lips past his once again, Kel stole off the balconey. Neas followed.
It's the way you love me
It's the way you love me
It's the way you love me
It's the way you love me
It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's criminal
Kel turned back to see if he followed her, and seeing he was, she turned back.
It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
And just at that moment, she collided with Cleon. "I see you have found someone to replace me Kel" Cleon drawled slowly. Neal stepped up next to Kel. "and what if I have?" she asked. Neal slung an arm around her waist, and pushing past Cleon, continued on their way. It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me
It's the way you love me
It's the way you love me
It's the way you love me
