Ok, so I got inspiration :P Hope you like this one too...
Don't own Sailor Moon!
There she was, once again standing all alone on the edge. Thousands of lights danced around her, much like all the pairs having the time of their lives on the dance floor. Still, she stood in the darkest corner, not wanting to bother any of her friends or the other people that had as much fun as possible.
Just as usual, Mina had dragged her along at the annual highschool ball, where people usually went with their sweethearts. Still, just like in every other year, no one had asked her. Her height and unusual strength had scared all the guys away... again...
It wasn't that she had a problem with being all alone, but she just didn't want to be forced to see all the happy couples around, when she knew that she didn't stand a chance at having a boyfriend. All the relationships she had managed to have outside the school walls had ended in the same dramatic way. The guy would run off to some human-sized Barbie doll while she remained heartbroken once again.
After this happened to her a few times, she just gave up. Love wasn't for her, so she remained the girl who would always stand up for the weaker onesand who could cook better than even some ofthe city'sfamous chefs.
And there she was, wearing a long dark dress fit for a princess, all alone in the ballroom, gazing at her four friends and their dates, all looking their best and enjoying the party at maximum. She was glad that the other four girls of the group had managed to find love and actually carry a steady relationship (especially Mina). She was happy for them, but she couldn't be happy for being right then and there. Being alone, almost like an outcast, was much too painful for her. And it was a waste of time anyway… At least at home she would be busy enough.
Having fallen inside her mind, she didn't notice a tall young man, a bit older than her, approaching her location.
"Hey!" he spoke and woke her up, making her pay attention to him. In less than a heartbeat she recognized him: Nicky Kensington, best football player in their highschool and every girl's ideal boyfriend. Unlike the others in the team, he didn't have a huge ego and also took part of strange activities for football players, like joining the astronomy classes around the year, without missing at all. He was sweet, polite, smart and had a deadly pair of clear blue eyes,withan incredible smile to match it. His long brown and wavy hair was settled in a neat ponytail at the back of his head, hanging over the dark jacket of his suit.
"Hey!" she spoke back, without any shyness in her voice, being somewhat used to his presence, from the gym class, which they happened to join in the same time. She smiled politely and returned to her quiet gazing, her back never leaving the wall's hard surface. She thought that he would disappear almost instantly, going off with some pretty girl that had thrown herself in his arms. Still, one moment later she heard movement nearby and noticed that he now stood right next to her, supporting his body on the same wall as her, less than half of meter away. She sent him a puzzled and daring gaze, noticing that he was now looking at the multitude of couples as well.
"So, how come you are here… all by yourself?" he asked, several moments later. She stared up at him confused, wondering if he had really never noticed that she either didn't come to such parties or stood away from the crowd.
"I don't have date." She sternly answered.
"Hmm, I've never heard anyone say it so openly." He noticed.
"Why bother hide it? I'm sure that the entire school knows it, so I really don't see why I should even try to make up some cheap lie." She said rather harsh and returned to the view.
"Well then, why are you alone?" he dared and watched her eyes turn from surprised to hurt and angry.
"Are you mocking me? Hm, and I thought that you were actually a nice guy..." she said and turned away, fastly exiting the gym and getting ready to finally ditch the "party".
"Wait! Lita!" he shouted and followed her. Found herself in the hallway, ready to get out, the tall girl turned around one last time, noticing the young man already having reached her. "That's not what I meant!" he pleaded.
"I'll buy it… Then what did you mean?" she decided to take the bait, not knowing where to go further.
"I meant… Dammit, I've tried for a three weeks now to ask you, ever since party was announced! I never had the guts though..." He glanced at her from below his brows, fearing her reaction… fearing that she might actually refuse him.
"You're lieing!" she gritted her teeth in anger and clenched her fists, lowering her head so that her bangs wouldn't allow the green eyes to be seen. If he were to see her orbs, then we would definitely notice the tears starting to form there and that was the last thing she wanted.
"What?"
"I mean, why would you want to take me to the dance? What kind of bad joke is this and why are you doing this? You're supposed to be all nice, but in fact you're just another jerk! Just like the others!" she shouted, glad that no one could see nor hear her from the crowded hall.
"Lita! Don't get me wrong! That's not it! I really want you to be with me at the dance!" he banged his fist into the nearby wall.
"I'm too tall for anyone to like! Gods, I fight boys and actually win against them! For three years now no one has asked me to the dance and why should anyone do it now!"
"Lita!"
"It's not like I mind! I mean, the only reason for which I actually come is because Mina keeps dragging me over here. It would be much easier if everyone would just leave me alone!" she burst and tried to run away again. Still, this time his determined hand on her right wrist stopped her from moving further away. Sensing his touch, she remained frozen in shock, not daring to move… just staring down, where their hands touched. In a heartbeat she felt herself turned back, facing his taller and stronger figure. To her even greater shock, after being sweapt around, she found his eyes burning holes into hers and then his lips touching hers, both gently and firm.
And then, for the first time in years, her eyes closed and actually allowed two tears to emerge from the dark green orbs. A moment later, his arms surrounded her body and held her dangerously close to him, while his lips worked magic over her mouth, forcing her mind to grow heavy and her body to lose balance and support entirely on him… which he enjoyed greatly. It wasn't everyday that he got to see the sensitive side of her. A long minute later, they broke apart and stared at each other.
"Why?" she asked, still locked in his arms.
"Because I wasn't here three or two years ago. I'm still the new guy, remember?" he joked and managed to make her smile. She leaned her face into his chest, trying to hide her face from him. "But I am here now." he whispered and gently rose her face, brushing her cheeks slowly with his fingers. He then leaned to her and kissed her again, this time with her entire approval too. Still, another minute later he broke away and grabbed her right wrist, pulling her back into the hall with him.
"What are you doing?" she walked along with him.
"I came here to dance with my girl!" He said and opened the door, making room for her to enter first. "So let's dance!"
She smiled again, nodded and allowed him to sweep her off her feet all night.
I know, I wrote two shots with Zoi and Ami, so here is one with Neph and Lita. Hopefully, you guys won't be mad at me and you'll review. Please... Pretty please with sugar on top?
