Hey again! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter! Now, this is an EveXTrain chapter, because Xaki requested it!! Hope you enjoy it, Xaki!
"Princess!"
Eve sighed. It was Train again, running towards her, using that stupid nickname again. Yet when she saw his grinning face sprinting towards her, eyes alight with the prospect of whatever was making him disturb her, she felt the blood rush to her face.
"What, Train? I'm reading."
It was true that she had been reading, but she just wanted him to go away so that he wouldn't see her heated cheeks. To make sure that he was oblivious to her red face she lifted her book up to cover her cheeks.
"Oh…"
She held her breath, hoping that he would go away yet fixing a blank stare on him, trying to fight the redness that was tainting her cheeks.
"Oh well! Princess, I found an old book! Do you wanna…uh…what do you do with these again...? Oh yeah! Read it?! It looks pretty boring, but you read everything!"
Eve shook her head.
"Train, you idiot, can't you see I'm reading a book right now?"
He pouted, eyes round and innocent. She had to fight the smile that was tugging at her lips, the laughter that was itching at the back of her throat and the blood that was once again rushing to her cheeks.
He out on a fake hurt look.
"Well, I'm sorry for intruding! I gave you the awesomeness nickname of Princess, and this is how you repay me?!"
She sighed, shaking her head at him.
"Train, who says that I wanted that nickname, anyway? I don't even recall asking you to give me a nickname in general! You're so stupid!"
His amber eyes dimmed and his head hung as he turned around.
"Yeah," his tone was bitter, "I guess you're right, Eve. I am stupid, aren't I? I bet I'm the stupidest person in the world."
Eve's eyes widened. Had she hurt his feelings?
"Train, I didn't mean it like tha-" She called, trying to tell him that she didn't want to hurt his feelings.
"No, I think you're right about that, Eve. I guess I'll just do you a favour and leave."
"Train!"
But he kept walking away, happiness completely vanished. He seemed like a completely different person. Eve hardly recognised him. A thought crossed her mind, and she gasped slightly. Had he suddenly switched back to his assassin mode? If he had, she couldn't let Sven see him like this…
That's when her mind clicked.
"TRAIN! WAIT!"
He turned as the 'Princess' ran up to him. She threw herself at him, arms snaking round his neck, locking their lips together in a gentle kiss. Her half-lidded crimson eyes gazed into his shocked amber ones, almost getting lost in their ochre depths.
The warmth of his lips against hers was enough to make her head spin. Her emotions were whirling out of control as they toppled to the floor, since Train had been unaware of the sudden gesture.
As his head hit the carpet, Train's vision became blurry. He wasn't responding to the kiss, yet he wasn't breaking away, either. He knew that he was sending mixed messages to the girl that fallen on top of him when he had tumbled to the floor, but he was frozen, not knowing what to do.
Just as Eve was thinking about ending the kiss, the doorknob turned, the door flew open, and there was a loud crash as groceries fell to the carpet. There stood Sven, mouth wide open, cigarette falling to the floor, looking incredibly disbelieving.
Silence.
Shocked, uncomfortable silence.
Then…
"TRAIN HEARTNET, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!"
"Uh…It wasn't me…?"
Well, I hope you liked it, Xaki! Please tell me what you think of it! If anyone wants to request anything, feel free!
