Author's Notes

Whee, I'm back! Alive and kicking! Err...anyway, what you're about to read is one, weird Kaiba × Serenity drabble, but...oh, well...I'm already well-known for my weirdness so that shouldn't surprise you. Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last story! ÷ponders÷ What was the last one, anyway? Gah, too much time passed...and I'm rambling. Ah, just go and read!

Fascination

Kaiba × Serenity

She would look outside the window during her lunch break, observing the large schoolyard with soft, hazel eyes. Her bangs would fall over her shoulders, auburn tresses cascading down her back as she would stand right in front of the window, leaning on the sill and waiting for him to cross the said schoolyard.

Ever since that fateful tournament he organized a while ago, she couldn't get him out of her mind. She still remembered that crucial moment in his office on the blimp; the way she begged him to stop and get Ryou Bakura a doctor and she still remembered the look he gave her. He was sitting behind his desk in his chair confidently, absolutely refusing to give in to anyone's suggestions or threats. Not even her big brother could make him do something he didn't want to.

She still shuddered sometimes when she remembered his eyes – a deep, rich shade of blue. Of course lots of people had blue eyes, but his...his were different.

There was just something deep and raw in them that made her shiver and gasp softly when he glanced at her. And for some odd reason, she would find herself blushing profusely every time she remembered those eyes and that look.

Other girls in her class would tell her from time to time about this or that boy, casting longing looks in her direction, but she would only lower her head and frown, feeling sorry for turning them down before they even had a chance to ask her out. She knew she would decline their offer and therefore hurt their feelings. That was why she would to talk to them politely, but not suggestively, look at them kindly, but not encouragingly what they would, perhaps, wish to see.

No, her interests and her curiosity were leading in another direction. Her friends would ask her sometimes why she was always so deep in thoughts while looking out the window.

She would stay silent and wait.

She would wait for the bell to ring, and she would wait to see her brother and his friends, because she knew that with them, he would also come.

She sometimes wondered how he could manage to lead such a successful company and attend school, have remarkable grades and excel in everything. There was only one explanation for that – he was a genius, the name many deemed him with.

She would sigh softly after spotting him crossing the distance over the schoolyard to the school entrance. She would look at him carefully, noticing the way his hair would glistened on the sun, the way his trench coat would billow ceremoniously behind him, the way his body would move with such grace and efficiency and those eyes, unwavering and unyielding like his personality, complimenting him perfectly.

He would look up occasionally and meet her eyes, leaving her to shiver and stare at him helplessly with wide eyes and a racing heart. But his eyes would remain cold and mysterious, a perfect mask, a mirror to his soul well protected and hidden behind numerous layers. He was a riddle in person, a being shrouded with mystery.

And every time he would leave her breathless and in wonder just why he had such an effect on her. One of her best friends would tell her she had developed a crush on someone after seeing her blushing cheeks and an unmistakable twinkle in her eyes. But she wouldn't tell anyone about him. That was her little secret.

And who would've thought that the original curiosity could turn into such a sweet obsession with the only boy she could imagine herself being with and knew she could never have...

Last words- Whoa...took me a long time to update Bonds. Ha, didn't I tell you this would happen? But, anyway, this is something I came up with just recently and finished in half an hour. How I managed to do that, is beyond me...I hope you liked it, though...÷hopeful look÷
