Hands Down : Chapter Three

!- Hisashi Mitsui's POV -!

"Sempai?"

"Yeah?"

"It's dark."

"Heh. I guess you're scared eh?"

"Do'ahou."

"Nani!?", and a veinpop on my temples. So annoying. I don't understand why I can't seem to get used to this bastardic and arrogant behavior of his. But it doesn't matter. I love this arrogant bastard so at least I must do something for him. I grabbed the fishing box, rummaging through it, hoping to find something useful. A-ha. A candle and a match box. Perfect. And I mean it. I lit the candle (using the matchstick in the match box of course) and sat beside the ice prince again.

He was staring at the blazing fire of the now lit-up candle. And I was staring at him. I can feel the fire battle against his icy cold stare. His face hidden in the shadows of the dark cave, was illuminated by the dim of the soft candle light. And his lips showed a very firm expression.. but still supple, luscious and kissable. Mhmm.. He looks so.. hot.

Suddenly, I heard a beeping sound from my wrist watch. '11:00 PM' it flashed. So much for my string of Rukawa Kaede fantasies.

"Well, I guess it's time to go back now. Er, do you mind? It's still raining and you might catch a cold."

He shrugged as he stood up. I guess that means "I-don't-mind-if-I-catch-a-fuckin'-cold-so-let's-go-now" in his lingo so I smiled.

I was about to grab his hand but he placed it inside his pocket. Crap. Maybe later.

Oh god.. It was a very long day, indeed.

Waking up to the sound of noisy people, get forced to catch a big and chunky fish, go on a long walk because of some stupid search, and the rain. But then again.. having Kaede wake me up in an unexpected sleep, get to kiss him, embrace him, tell him everything and this walk we're currently sharing together. The sand is wet and mushy because of the still pouring rain but we didn't care.

When we got back to the house we were staying at, the gate was locked. Oh joy.

"Teme.. Some idiot locked it with us still out in the open."

"Hn."

I looked at the height (or length. whatever.) of the gate. Why? Because I'm going to jump over it. And so, I did. As soon as I jumped my way inside, I opened the gate as to let the ice prince in. When we got to the porch, (or doorstep. AGAIN, whatever.) unsurprisingly, the door was unlocked. Those careless morons. I was turning the doorknob as to let us inside, when I felt cold arms wrap around my waist.

Kaede..

He turned me around as for me to face him.. and he kissed me. This time, it meant something. I was being kissed by a love-hungry ice prince. I guess he isn't cold after all. He's just, er.. hungry. Hehe. I pulled him closer as he raked through my hair. Mhmm.. I have to admit though, that he's not really a good kisser. But I couldn't care less. He's Rukawa Kaede, for crying out loud, and he kissed me.

We didn't care if we were fuckin' wet, we didn't care if any of them can bust us anytime..

.. and I didn't care if I don't have the big and chunky fish I was SUPPOSED to bring home in the first place.

Let them screw me like hell. As long as I know that Kaede's kiss meant something, I could die any time. Haha.

Shortly, my wrist watch beeped again, '12:00 AM' it read. Ohoho.. Meaning it's already January 1. The beginning of a new year-- and Kaede's birthday. The same day, 16 years ago in which this lovely, mysterious creature was born. I pulled the ice prince into an embrace and whispered lovingly in his ears..

"Happy birthday, Kaede."

And I wondered, how on earth is he going to respond? What will he tell me? What's his infamous reply? 'Do'ahou' maybe, or 'I love you, sempai.' Or..

"Happy new year, sempai."

Ahaha. That tricky kitsune. It is the beginning of another new year, after all. I almost forgot.

.. and we kissed again. Hands down, Hisashi, no doubt about it. This is the best day I could ever remember. It's definitely a happy something (insert-occassion-here) for both of us. Hehe.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it.

That you meant it..
