"Come on! Tell me! Is it being the best mechanics or designer for Zoids?" The curious Irvine asked.
"It's..." I blushed. "None of your business!"
"Hm? Your cheeks are red." he said blinking.
"No they're not!" I yelled in an annoyed tone while crossing my arms, turning my back to him.
"Tch. Fine." he turned his back to me as well. We stayed in silence for a while, staying still in our position. I secretly
look at him on the corner of my eye. I saw him look back at me slightly, confident enough not to get caught. I grinned and turned
to him unexpectedly.
"What are you looking at?! Hm?" I asked, slowly narrowing my eyes.
"M-me?! Nothing." He turned his back at me as I giggled knowing he's embarrassed of being caught.
"W-what?! What's so funny?!" he asked in an annoyed tone.
"Oh, nothing!" I smiled playfully.
"Better be nothing..." he grumbled.
"Hm..." I started walking around, studying the area of the forest we stumbled in. "Where are we....?" I asked in bewilderment.
"Ask yourself that. It's your fault for running around in an unfamiliar forest like this!"
"Well, it's your fault for not being able to catch up sooner. Seriously, maybe you should stay more in shape."
"What?! Are you implying that I'm weak? huh?!"
"What if I am? What are you going to do?" I narrowed my eyes at him waiting for an answer but nothing came out from his lips. He
just stayed still, looking down at me. It... kind of made me slightly nervous.... I just had to say something! The silence felt
awkward to me! I didn't understand it. I just have to say something... Come on Moonbay! Say something! "W-what are you looking
at?" I felt the words escape my small lips.
"....you.." he muttered softly, keeping his eyes on me.
"M-me...?" Now, I felt my heart skip a bit then started to beat faster and faster. My cheeks felt really hot. I wanted to turn
away but for some reason... I can't... I stared back up to him. I didn't had a smile nor a frown. I was bewildered... and curious.
We stayed like that for a while until he snapped out of it. He shook his head rapidly, erasing whatever thought crossed his mind.
"N-nothing! You just... had something on your face!" he explained, turning away.
"I... did..?" I felt my face but there was nothing. I figured he was lying. It was so tempting to tease him but, I felt bad because
he's embarrassed enough as it is. "Y-yeah! Thanks for telling me." I pretended to wipe something off my face. He slowly turned to me
but I continued to pretend like I was wiping something and that I didn't noticed him looking at me. "There! Is it gone?" I looked
up to him, showing my face.
"It's bea...it's fine now..." he turned away, putting both his hands inside his pockets.
"Oh, alright!" I smiles brightly up to him as he glanced at me again and looked away.
"Let's just find our way outta here..." he grumbled as he started walking.
"H-hey! Wait!" I followed him close behind.
After walking for an hour or so, I collapsed on the ground, landing on a sitting position.
"Oy! I'm tired Irvine! Lets rest for a while!" I complained, catching my breath.
"Look who's out of shape now!" he laughed, mocking how tired I am.
"Shut up! I tried to stand up, leaning against the tree. "Mr. I-made-us-more-lost-than-before!"
"Hey! This is all your fault okay?! If you haven't ran away into this stupid forest, we won't be lost!"
"Well, it's not like I planned to get lost! FYI, I'd rather be lost alone than be stuck with you!"
"Well, same here!"
"At least I know how to navigate better than you!"
"Yeah riight!" he said in a sarcastic tone. "Well, Ms. Navigator, why don't you guide us outta here."
"I will and I promise that we're not going to be-" Suddenly, he grabbed and I lost my footing, causing me to fall. I made a loud thud as
I fell on the ground and he fell on to of me. "W-what are you doing!" I felt my cheeks blush.
"Don't move..." he whispered closely to my ears, his lips so close to it. I felt his breath softly that made my heart beat fast. I felt
an odd sensation on my stomach and I stayed perfectly still.
"Moonbay...." he whispered my name so softly with his voice that I can't help but blush deeper. "...do you still have that dagger with you...?
"Dagger...?" I whispered. "Yes, it's in the back pocket of my shorts." I replied softly.
"Alright...let me borrow it..." I felt him unwrap his other arms around me as his soft hands wondered down my back. I felt a slight shiver
on my backbone as I felt his hand softly traveling down and finally he reached for my pocket. I was so embarrassed that not a word escaped my
lips. I tried to relax and get my heart to settle down but it didn't obeyed me. He already reached for the dagger! Why is he still on me! These
thoughts wandered around my mind.
"Stay still...."
I nodded slightly as I saw a huge wolf jump into the air. My eyes widened quickly as I felt a scream escape my lips. "IRVINE! WATCH OUT!"
"It's..." I blushed. "None of your business!"
"Hm? Your cheeks are red." he said blinking.
"No they're not!" I yelled in an annoyed tone while crossing my arms, turning my back to him.
