Authors Notes: Sorry for taking so long to update, everyone. I've had exams all week long and haven't been too motivated. And again sorry if the chapter isn't up to parr, but I tried my best. Enjoy! I do not own the song Mr.Brightside by The Killers.

"Knight.."

Kit's POV

Two large wooden doors seperated me from complete embarassment, torture and the ever popular plastic smile. Everyone would be there for a selfish reason of their own, not really caring about the graduating SeeD's. Hell, I doubt they even knew why this ball is being held. The constant questions that ring in their superficial minds were all the same, their thoughts never changed.

"Is tonight the night?"

"Do I look alright?"

"Do I love him?"

No, their thoughts were never focused on those that deserved it. Their applause was lazy, almost zombie-like but hey, I only came for the booze.

I took my first step towards the doors, placing my hands on the cold metal nobs and entered the nicely decorated room. "Nice work, Rae. Wow.." I looked at her in awe, how she pulled all of this off, I'll never know. Everything was black and red, the fabrics were either sheer or velvet and the lights were slightly dimmed. It sure beat the hell out of the normal blue and gold theme every year, how unoriginal can you get? Rae gave me a small smile, grabbed my arm and pulled me towards a group of people.

Now.. the fact that I just made human contact was more than enough for me to handle, but being surrounded by people that I don't know? It could only end badly. I looked around, trying to see if I recognized one of them. I didn't know one person, not a single face. I frantically struggled for air and backed up a little, almost ready to pass out. I heard a faint voice from behind me, felt a gentle hand grab my shoulder and I let myself go.

Catch me..

Vincent's POV

"Kit? KIT! ..You alright?" She fell into my arms, completely limp and fragile with her face just inches away from mine. I carefully picked her up and took her over to a quiet, unused corner. I didn't think she'd be out for long, and my feelings are usually right about these things. As soon as I came back from the refreshments table, Kit was sure enough awake and looked more than confused.

"Well..Well..Well.. Good morning sleeping beauty. I'll explain, just drink this first." I handed her a cup of orange juice, and sat down next to her. Kit's eyes looked down at the cup, back up at me, and then to the floor. "Don't worry, no one has spiked it yet. Too early on for that. Haha." She nodded, took a few sips, and then placed her questioning eyes back on me. "Well.. I was looking for you and Rae, because social events are never fun without your friends, after 10 minutes of searching I saw the back of you and tapped you on the shoulder. But you didn't look well, being surrounded by the people you were near would probably have that effect on you, haha. Suddenly you just fell backwards and luckily I was there behind you. I carried you over here, I didn't want to draw too much attention."

"I fell? Really? Sorry and er.. thanks." Kit graced me with a small smile, it wasn't much, I admit but.. Man. There's something about her. And she looked unbelievably gorgeous tonight.

"Hmm.. Waltz for the moon, eh? Haha. I think this is our cue, Kit!" She shook her head furiously, stood up and tried to walk, or rather run, away from me. "I can't dance and I won't dance." She stated simply. And yeah, I guess I understood but.. Damn it, she needs to have some fun. "Awww.. Come on!" I grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor. Man, I know it must look stupid, but I'm not trying to be the next Rinoa or anything. I just want this girl to dance with me.

I found the perfect spot, a little off from the center. I pulled her in closer to me, placed her hand on my shoulder, and the other one on my hand. Kit struggled the whole time, and I felt awful but.. She'd thank me later. I hate seeing her hurt, I hate watching her blink away the tears every day, I hate seeing her force a smile.. It's so unfair and it's all thanks to that fucking prick of a guy who went and messed up her head. She's worth more than she knows, more than I could explain to her. "I'm not gonna hurt you, Kit. Trust me, alright? You owe me this much, please. Do it for yourself, if anything." Her eyes were pleading with me.. Screaming, let me go. But she seeemed to give in and I took take the lead. "Pfft.. You can dance!"

I felt hundreds of eyes on us, and heard hundreds of whispers but I hardly cared and from the looks of things, neither did Kit. We were in our own world, watching eachother, every move, every breath. And it felt so right.. Maybe I hadn't made any impact at all before but I know that I must have now. I slowly leaned in, taking in her scent and for the first time.. Felt her soft lips against mine.

Fireworks as usual, the same fireworks that seem to ruin every romantic moment. Reality finally hit Kit, and there are no words to discribe the look on her face. Disappointment, disgust, happiness, shock, and bitterness..

Knight..

Kit gave me a little shove and ran like hell out of the gymnasium. I watched as she grabbed a slim, shiny object out of her purse and my heart sank. Rae ran over to me, shouting something..

But I didn't hear her.. the world stopped.

I ran towards the doors and chased after her. I wasn't quite fast enough but I saw a black object run towards the training center. And there is only one safe place in that jungle, so finding her would be a breeze. I know I pushed her to her limits, I'm such a jackass.

Man, Kit. WHY THE HELL DO I LOVE YOU?

It was only a kiss,

It was only a kiss..

I ran to the secret area, not once stopping to catch my breath. Torn dress, messed hair, and razor in hand. Kit layed down on the cold cement ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Tears filled my eyes, I never wanted to hurt her.. NEVER! THAT WAS THE LAST THING I EVER WANTED .."Kit.. I'm so sorry..I.." I walked over to her, slumped down beside her and pulled her close. This time, she didn't struggle, it almost felt.. natural. I helped her into a sitting position and took her into my arms, carefully grabbing the razor from her slim fingers and tossing it into the river below.

Another kiss..

Sweeter than the last.. Longer.. Closer..

"I'm so sorry.. Kit.. I love you."

Did I just say what I think I said? Love..?

For a second there, I heard the sobbing lessen., I felt her heart beat faster and her breathing cease.

"..Hold me."

Was all she could say and for now.. That was more than enough.

It was only a kiss,

It was only a kiss..
