Misao was sure she blushed from head to toe. Her heart began to beat a little faster, no doubt from such close contact with the object of her affection. She absent-mindedly brushed his bangs away from his face, freezing when his eyelids fluttered open.
"O-Ohayou, Aoshi-sama." She slowly retrieved her hand, her eyes still locked on his.
"Ohayou, Misao." He whispered.
She was still trying to figure out why on earth Aoshi was holding her. The corners of his mouth turned upwards, and a new blush exploded on her face. He chuckled, and placed a feather-light kiss on her forehead.
Misao's mind was spinning so fast it was about to explode. 'Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!'
The two stayed like that for a bit longer, still staring. Aoshi shifted, his face coming closer and closer.
BANG!!
The door swung open, smashing into the wall. It was Okina. Damn his perfect timing!!
"GOOD MORNING, THE SUN IS SHINING!! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY!" He was singing, but stopped when he didn't see anyone.
"Misao-chan? Aoshi? Where have they gone? Hmm...probably down at the training hall or something. I'll go look."
They heard the click of the door, signaling it was closed. Both let out long breaths of relief. It was a good thing they were on the opposite side of the bed.
Misao was really embarrassed, and now the moment was broken.
"Um...that was Jiya. He likes to do that sometimes."
Aoshi started to get up, stretching his sore muscles.
"I better get going. My parents are probably going crazy about me not coming home last night."
"I'm really sorry...I didn't mean for you to get in trouble with your parents."
"Don't worry about it. I'll just tell them I was over at Kenshin's or something."
"O-Okay. If you say so..."
Misao threw off the blanket, rising to her feet. She yawned loudly, flopping onto the bed in the process. She heard a chuckle from the other side of the room, and popped an eye open.
"What's so funny?" She questioned.
No answer...
And she had no warning of what would come next. She found herself suddenly airborne, limbs spread-eagle in panic.
"Aiiiiiieeeeeee!!"
Misao didn't even have enough time to comprehend that Aoshi had bounced her off of the bed.
She landed on the floor with a loud thud, and groaned. That *hurt*. With narrowed eyes, she finally heard the laughter.
He was *laughing*. At *her*.
Misao turned her head to see, and sure enough, the culprit was on the floor, howling like a banshee.
At first, shock hit. It was very rare to witness an event like this from Aoshi. Then, came anger. She stood, steam beginning to file out of her ears.
Misao pushed her sleeves up, fisting her hands. Marching over to him, she put on the evilest glare she could muster.
"MOU!! YOU STUPID JERK!!"
It didn't work. Aoshi began to laugh even harder.
Rage overcoming her senses, she did the only thing she could think of.
Misao tackled him. For the second time in their knowing each other, she attacked him.
He almost dodged it completely, but she caught Aoshi's left leg pulling him down, right on top of her.
Now wasn't this interesting? She froze, body ramrod straight.
Aoshi had to catch his balance, lest he crush her. He managed to fall on his hands, which where on either side of Misao's head.
Eyes wide, she just stared straight at him, unsure of what to say.
Lucky for her, he broke the silence.
"Arigato, Misao...no one has made me laugh that hard in a very long time."
"Do itashimashite, Aoshi-sama..."
He didn't get up. All Misao could see was black, nearing at the second. Her lips tingled momentarily, and she dared to gaze upwards.
Ocean-blue met ice. And held.
And all was lost.
TBC...
