He glanced up at her. Again. He admired her. Again.
She got up from her seat and walked right in front of him.
"Hello, Zoicite." She sent him a sweet smile and spoke on a calm tone.
"Hi…" he only managed to mumble before she wouldn't be able to hear him at all.
"She smiled to him. Again. And he got tongue-tide. Again…
With a defeated sigh, he gazed at her petite form, walking into the chemistry lab. He liked Mizuno Ami… a lot. She was kind and generous, she was a genius, in all matters, she seemed as fragile as a China doll… and still, she was stronger than anyone could have imagined. And he liked her… a lot.
"Hey Zoi, babe." A red-head almost as tall as him put an arm around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. His body didn't react in any way: no blushing, no fast heartbeats, no sweating… just repulsion. He looked down at her with almost disgust in his eyes.
"I have always wondered how come I can resist a person like you, a cheerleader, the soul of every party, a somewhat seductive person and still… how come my knees go weak onlywhen I meet her: your exact opposite?" he spoke out loud.
"Huh?" she asked, eyeing him confused. In response, he simply took her arm away from him and left her alone in the crowded hallway.
"Why can't he just tell me something? I mean, I am just another girl who goes to the same highschool as he does… right?" Ami questioned herself, while sitting on a bench in her secret place and enjoying the park's view. She loved it here, because it was quiet and peaceful… it was the perfect place where she could calm down after a long day of school.
"Actually… you aren't…" a rather embarrassed voice was heard behind her. She turned around and saw a young man, about her age, with wavy blonde hair and green eyes… the only one capable of making her think about anything else than studying. She slighty blushed and passed on the right part of the bench, silently inviting him to take a seat. And he did. "You see… you have… an unusual effect… on me."
"What do you mean?" she asked, feeling the blush going deeper and looked at the lake, hundreds of meters away.
"Well, I can deal with cheerleaders throwing themselves at me. I can manage easily any bullies that might even want to harm me or someone close to me. I can deal with absolutely any person in our highschool and even home town… except for one." He confessed and lowered his head, afraid that she might never want to see him again after he ended his short speech. "I can't respond properly everytime you greet me in the hallways because my mind goes blank, my breath turns heavy and I am afraid that I might say something incredibly dumb and that I would appeare like some sort of retard, in spite of my remarkable grades. You see, I'm afraid that I might receive your disgust instead of your beautiful smile. What can I say… I'm a coward…" he ended. Surprisingly, a comforting hand touched his shoulder one second later. He looked up and saw her smiling warmly.
"No you're not. And what you just did proves it." She assured him and then a deep silence fell between the two.
"Mizuno-san…"
"Please, Ami!" she cut him off and then the two found themselves staring at each other once again.
"Ami… thank you for listening…" he bowed and got up to leave. However, her hand stopped him. She got up too and did something she had never thought she'd ever do: she kissed him.
"Zoicite… I…" she retreated scared, both of them blushing like mad.
"It's ok… I wanted to do the same thing actually…" his voice drifted off as his face leaned to hers. It was a rather deep and completely sincere kiss… one which could last for a lifetime. In the end, they broke apart, noticing that it was getting dark. Zoicite simply took her right hand in his and walked her home. Once they reached the suburbian house, she said somewhat embarrassed.
"Look… you know that on Monday…" she stopped when his fingers gently touched her lips.
"I'll tel you what. Saturday, after the last exam I'll take out… have some ice-cream… visit the Geological Institution?" he asked with a gorgeous grin on his face. In response, she smiled, kissed him briefly and ran inside the house. He turned around to leave only after she had entered her home.
That had been hard… but, at least, his knees didn't go that weak at the sight of her eyes anymore.
I had to write this down because I wanted to show the boldness within these two. Although I did write about Ami's shyness before and I find it quite amusing, I wanted her to also be pretty strong and stand up for her opinions. As for Zoi… you know what I mean !
See'ya'll next drabble! Oh, yeah, I don't own sailor moon and I would like to receive some reviews if possible.
