A/N: So here we go again. Another time that it feels the same. Got sick of waiting here. Set the same in our concrete ways. No survivors left to save. Too late for the walking dead.
Lostprophets, cheery bunch aren't they?
CHAPTER SIX
MOVING FORWARD
After our outing at the mall, and my several confusing encounters with Seamus, we congregated at Rei's large house.
We were to go clubbing that night and needed to fix ourselves up all pretty like.
Yeah, right
OoOoOo
"I don't see why I have to go." I whined to Cere Cere who was combing my long hair until it shone like spun gold.
"And why is that?" she asked boredly.
"Because." I replied like a petulant child.
"Because what?"
I just grumbled, my face brightened as Ami stepped out of Rei's walk in closet.
"Ami!" I squealed.
Said Mizuno looked uncertain in a shimmery silver halter with black leather pants. Her hair was done with spiked edges, and silver streaks.
"Isn't this a little over the top?" she asked, tugging at the fabric of her shirt.
"Nope." replied Lita from a bean bag on the floor where she was flipping through a magazine, idly.
"Don't worry about the streaks Ames," said Padma coming out of the bathroom, "the box says it'll wash out by tomorrow."
Ami looked relieved, "Padma!" I squealed again.
Looking at the dark red ruffled top and dark jeans she was wearing, "I look alright don't I?" she asked mischievously.
"Awesome." said Ginny as she too stepped out from the bathroom.
This time Cere Cere's hand over my mouth stopped me from squealing, "Are you going to do this every time someone comes out?" asked Blaise tiredly.
I made a face and then squealed again, Blaise was wearing a violet lace top with a black silk skirt.
Ginny was clad in a dark green tube top with dark jeans and dangly earrings.
"Wufei's going to shit himself when he sees you." said Vesu Vesu excitedly.
"So will her brother." muttered Blaise to Ami and Rei.
Ginny grimaced at the thought, "So, Mina what're you wearing?" asked Para Para.
"Good question." I said thoughtfully.
"Mina," chirruped Ginny with a gleam in her eyes I wasn't sure I liked.
"Yes?" I asked cautiously.
"Let me help." she said smiling widely.
"Oh, no, there's no saving you now Mina." said Lita wryly.
Para Para and Vesu Vesu pulled her out of the bean bag and into Ginny's clutches.
The resounding snickers were, well resounding.
OoOoO
I didn't look too bad, I thought as I regarded myself in a full length mirror.
My blonde hair was done up in a complicated looking bun and my face sprinkled with glitter, my top was a flowing orange flowered one, with dark blue denims and a orange flowered belt to match.
"I look like a hooker." moaned Lita from behind me.
"You do not." I said firmly, looking Lita's black shirt with a dark rose with a red background and leather skirt over.
"You look like a seductress." replied Blaise from the doorway.
"Great, instead of getting paid I am now a whore." said Lita angrily.
"What's your deal today?" asked Vesu Vesu concernedly.
Lita suddenly found the tiled floor interesting.
"Is it Trowa?" asked Ami gently.
"No." she muttered annoyedly.
"I think it is." sang Ginny.
"You also think Wufei pays attention when you talk about clothes." she retorted mordantly.
"Lita." I said.
"Ye-es?"
"Whatever it is you can tell us." I said more certain than I felt.
"He's being an idiot again." she murmured inaudibly.
"What happened?" asked Para Para gently.
"I don't know but every time we get somewhere in our relationship it's like he's afraid that I won't be there the next day." she said clenching her fists tightly.
"Then you should talk to him." I said delicately.
"How?"
"Figure it out." I said firmly.
"Come on guys we can have that group hug later right now if we don't go we'll be late to meet with Parvati, Hotaru, and Jun Jun." said Cere Cere checking her watch.
I smiled as I hooked an arm through Lita's and skipped off dragging her with me.
OoOoO
The club we arrived at "Club Mecha" seemed to be very high end.
"Just opened this week." Blaise murmured in my ear.
That explained why I hadn't seen it before.
"Let's go in." said Rei as she pushed past the long line.
"How?" asked Ami skeptically.
"Wait." said Blaise assuredly.
Rei pulled out a cell and began dialing. "Yes, Orion it's me Rei, we're waiting outside and we can't get in. Yes I know this is morally wrong, no I don't want to go to Hell, but Draco's already inside, please I'll never ask you to do it again, yes I know that's a lie. Okay, love you."
"We're in." she said, smiling.
"Who'd you call?" asked Vesu Vesu curiously.
"Draco's brother, Orion."
"How's he going to help us?" I asked.
"He owns the club." said Blaise.
"Oh." I said.
"Yes 'oh'." said Rei grinning.
Suddenly a tall blonde man closely resembling Draco stepped out and waved us over.
OoOoO
The inside of the club was nothing like the outside, the loud pulsing music and multi-colored strobe lights could attest to that.
Sighing I took a seat at the bar and ordered a green apple martini and watched Lita and Trowa make up and Parvati and Duo dance.
I sighed again.
There should be an Olympics for sighing, I thought absently.
Sipping at my drink as it burned its way down my throat, I didn't notice Seamus until he softly said. "Boo."
I nearly choked on my sip, "Is that how you greet people you're friends with?" I asked accusingly.
"No, I attack them with a butcher knife."
"Great." I said as I ordered another.
"So, what's up?"
"The sky." I answered dejectedly.
"Why so glum?" he asked.
"Not really sure, could be for the first time in my life I want a boyfriend because everyone else has one, but that's just a thought." I said swirling the vodka around in its glass.
"I don't."
"Don't have a boyfriend you dolt."
"Obviously, if you did you wouldn't be looking down my shirt you pervert." I said wryly.
"You caught me." he said sounding regretful.
"You aren't that good a Peeping Tom."
"Gee, well, there goes my dream of becoming a Peeping Tom." he said sarcastically.
"Don't worry maybe one day you can become a stalker." I said cheerily.
Seamus rolled his eyes, "Would you like to go for a walk?" he asked disinterestedly.
"Why?" I regarded him with suspicious eyes.
"Because it's crowded and smelly in here.''
He had a point there, "Alright." I found myself saying as I hopped off the stool.
OoOoO
The walk in the park was uneventful and silent, in a good way.
"So, Mina what's your deal?" asked Seamus as we walked along the paths lit by the harsh florescent street lamps.
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"I mean, what made you stop hanging out with Relena and them."
"Oh." I said quietly.
"So?" he prompted.
"I couldn't take it anymore!" I said breaking the silence.
"Take what?" he asked.
"The fakeness. They were all living in such a lie and sleeping around with each other's boyfriends and pretending like they forgave each other afterward. I just couldn't take it."
"Sounds harsh."
"You make it sound like I was in a prison camp or something."
"Never mind that, let's talk about something else."
"Like you?" I asked.
"Why would you want to talk about me?" he asked suspiciously.
"Because we've already talked enough about me." I said seriously.
"Oh."
"So?" I prompted.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Let's start with a love interest, any girlfriends or crushes." I asked.
"Not really, there is this one girl." he said trailing off.
"Really? Do I know her?" I asked interestedly.
"Sorta, I've been dropping hints ever since we met and she still hasn't picked up on it."
"Sounds like she's really thick to me."
Seamus merely quirked an eyebrow up, could it be me?
"Could it be me?" I thought out loud.
"Yes."
"What! I said that out loud!" I asked nervously.
"Definitely."
"You like me?" I went on frantically.
"Weren't you here for our conversation five seconds ago?"
"I was here!" I said smacking him upside the head.
Seamus sighed, rolled his eyes and kissed me on the lips.
I froze, Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, he…kiss…me…! Kiss……back………!
My thoughts were a mashed up jumble of fragments until I listened to the strongest voice and consequently the one who wanted me to kiss Seamus back.
As we broke apart for air I tried to string together sentences, "That was…wow."
Seamus smirked, "Tell me about it."
I rolled my eyes, "Are you hungry?" he asked suddenly.
I blinked, "A little."
"Wicked, come on I know this great place." he said taking my hand and pulling me along.
0o0o0o0
Seamus' great place turned out to be a local Taco Bell, but I was in the mood for junk anyway.
Our fast food which by the way was very cheesy was eaten on the hood of his car overlooking the river.
It was the best impromptu date I'd ever had.
