Sydney and Vaughn walked down the long corridor silently. Vaughn was perfectly content with just being with Syd, but for her sake, struck up a conversation, but it quickly led to a subject he really didn't like.
"So, you never really told me if you liked hockey."
"Well, I've really never watched it." Sydney smiled, but quickly laughed as Vaughn's jaw dropped.
"You've never watched hockey? Are you sure you're from this planet?"
"Yes. But it's really not my sport. It's more Danny's." Vaughn's insides tightened. There was the D word.
"So why did you come if he didn't." Instantly Vaughn regretted his harshness, as he watched Sydney's face fall, but she quickly covered it up with a half-hearted smile.
"Well, I thought it would be fun. And plus I never get to spend anytime with you or Weiss. We never get around again." This time Vaughn's heart soared. So she had come to the game to be with him, well partly.
"Yeah, for someone who does their work in a quarter of the time of the rest of us, you really don't have a lot of free time."
"Well, besides school and my friends, I like to run. So I usually head out to the UCLA track. I spend a lot of time out there. Running helps with a lot of things, you know, to get out stress."
"Ya, I do. Funny. I spend a lot of time at the track too. I wonder why I never see you."
"We should meet out there one time." Vaughn felt as though he had just won the lottery.
"Sure. That'd be fun." He grinned at Syd who grinned back at him. They continued to walk down the hall, making small talk.
Suddenly a small boy came bolting down the hall, followed by his flustered parents, trying to catch him. Sydney didn't see them in time and soon found her self in Vaughn's arms. As he caught her, they both felt a shock go through them.
Still in Vaughn's arms, Sydney blushed, and he just grinned.
"Um, sorry. I didn't see…"
"It's okay." Although he didn't want to, Vaughn right Sydney and slowly released her. He smiled as he watched her. She was a little flustered, more so then she should have been, and busied her self brushing imaginary dirt off her coat.
"Syd?" At her name, she looked up to see Vaughn looking slightly amused while he watched her. "You okay, cause you look…flustered."
"Don't." Sydney grinned at Vaughn. "Make fun of me. I am a klutz, I know."
"Hey, don't…" But before he could finish, the bolting kid came back their way and knocked Vaughn in to Sydney this time. He knocked into her and they fell against the wall.
Suddenly Sydney realized that she was trapped between the wall and Vaughn. Warning bells started to go off in her head. She had a boyfriend, Danny, who loved her. But she couldn't tear her eyes away from his own deep green orbs. She noticed his faint grin and realized he didn't plan on moving, at least not away.
Vaughn reminded himself to find the bolting kid and give him a big amount of money. But the thought soon left his head, as he realized how truly close to Sydney he really was. Her cute smile and chocolate eyes captivated him. More then anything at that moment he wanted to kiss her. But to his dislike, warning bells went off in his head. She had a boyfriend who she loved, he couldn't do this. Suddenly the thoughts stopped, Vaughn realized Sydney wasn't pushing him away.
Each of their breaths got faster and heavier. Together, never breaking eyes contact, they moved closer. Slowly tilting their heads to the side.
Finally their lips met. At first the kiss was soft and gentle, but grew stronger, more passionate as the two moved closer.
Inside Sydney's head, all thoughts of Danny were gone. Instead her head was fill with fireworks and strong commands to keep on kissing Vaughn.
Inside Vaughn's head, the same fireworks were blasting through his thought of the kissing being wrong, Weiss's teasing, and any doubts.
"Well look-y at what we have here." Sydney and Vaughn suddenly jumped away from each other like the other was on fire. They each bowed their heads and slowly looked up, with purely guilty looks on their faces, to see Weiss grinning at them. "I can't wait to see how you guys are gonna get out of this one."
