Stealing Your Heart
A/N: This one's for Cheyenne. Because. Just because. I'm glad you were held back in kindergarten. As sick as that may sound!
There was this moment. I have no clue how to explain it. I sat at the counter at the Crown Arcade, conversing with Motoki. At some point, you walked in all smiles and cheerfulness. Then you saw me. No more smile, well not a happy smile. A smirk is a better word than 'smile', really.
"Konnichiwa, Baka," you said, lips tight.
Nodding in acknowledgement, I turned away-back to Motoki. I stopped. And turned back. You weren't trying to pick a fight. There was no way this seemed possible. I looked at you, and you looked at me. "Konnichiwa, Odango."
Now you nodded and turned away yourself. Now, your friends were behind you, but it still didn't seem like you were going to leave just yet. And I was right. Turning back to me, your hair brushed my leg. "Nevermind," you muttered before turning away.
I watched you recede and smiled. There was something different. A light. It made my heart flutter and I turned back yet again to Motoki.
"What was that all about?" He demanded, refilling my coffee cup.
I glanced back over my shoulder. There you were, laughing again with your friends. " I have no idea," I paused, contemplating. "But I have a new urge."
The words escaped my mouth, but I could really care less. I didn't even wait for Motoki to respond. "I want to steal her heart."
