RE-WRITTEN
Swings and kisses
"So" Kuki said after a few seconds of silence "That's your brother"
"Hehe yeah... He's a little sensitive these days. Sorry about all of that stealing away stuff"
"Are you kidding" Kuki giggled "He was adorable!"
"He was" Wally cocked an eyebrow at his friend
"Absolutely" Kuki cheered
"Heh; easy for you to say. You're not the one who's stuck with him. He can be so bratty sometimes"
"Oh tell me about it" Kuki giggled "I have a sister who's five years younger"
"You do?"
"Uhu"
"Well..." Wally said stretching a little "Joey is nine years younger than me so... I have been babysitting him as long as I can remember"
"Haha" Kuki laughed a little "Yeah I also had to babysit Mushi a lot, and she always ran away with her boyfriend to play king and queen of the beach. I' d always have to run after them and drag her home"
"Oh well at least your sister didn't crawl out in the middle of the street dancing around and taking of her diaper"
"Your brother did that?" Kuki couldn't help but laugh
"Constantly" Wally said rolling his eyes
Silence entered between the two of them
"Anyways" Kuki said "The last word is yours"
They had split up the words the had to explain in English since they both knew pretty much all of them
"Yeah" Wally looked at his paper "Metaphor" he read out loud. "Hmm... A metaphor is explaining words... Like... Using other words to describe an object"
"Can you give an example?" Kuki asked playfully
"Sure" Wally looked around him finding his eyes settling on Kuki's hair "Her hair is black as coal... I just described your hair by comparing it to something else"
"Good" Kuki smiled happily "Although I do feel like adding something"
"Yeah? And what is that?" Wally asked while scribbling in his notebook
"Usually used in romance" Kuki smiled
Wally rolled with his eyes, how typical of Kuki to say something like that
"So" Wally said while collecting his stuff to pack it down his backpack "I guess that's it?"
"Yeah" Kuki said laughing a little to herself "I can't help but imagine my friends who only just started today, they must be pretty stressed"
"Yeah" Wally chuckled a little nervously "You can just be happy you're done... And stuff"
"Yeah..."
Silence
Wally shuffled a little with his feet "We should do this again some time"
"Yeah definitely" Kuki smiled
They had put their books and pencil cases down their backpacks and got up
"So uhm" Wally started "You headed home now?"
"Uhm... Well... I was kind of going to check out the new playground they build. I was thinking maybe I could take Mushi there someday if she feels like it"
"They built a new playground?" Wally wondered out loud
"Yeah, a little further in the park" Kuki said pointing the opposite direction they were supposed to go to come home
"Wanna come along?" she suddenly heard herself ask
"Erm..." Wally thought a little, he didn't have anything else to do and it was only two pm or so "Sure, why not?"
Kuki flashed him a quick smile before she started to walk side-by-side with Wally.
"I was thinking" Wally said after a minutes time of silence
"Yes?" Kuki looked at him with shimmering eyes
"We should" ahem "We should hang out even thought we're not studying... And stuff"
"I'd love that" Kuki smiled
Love? Why had that word in particular made his heart skip a beat, he felt his cheeks burning with a blush
"Yeah; me too" he then said doing his best to hide his eyes behind his fringe
"You know" she said while they were walking on the graveled path surrounded by grass fields and tall trees
"I haven't thanked you properly for studying with me, so... Thank you Wally, it really means a lot to me" she finished off a slightly pink color started to spread across her cheeks.
The same color was spreading on his cheeks as well
"Why're you thanking me for that? I mean it wasn't just me who helped you, you helped me too" he said while looking at her.
She shook her head a little with too short 'm' sounds after each other
"I really appreciate that you actually studied with me" she twiddled her fingers a little before continuing "Normally when my friends wouldn't study with me I would ask a guy, who would only agree so he could stare at me or harass me. But you actually studied with me without trying anything, that's why I wanna thank you" she looked at him while biting her lower lip as her blush deepened in color.
He quickly looked away from her after seeing her look at him like that
"Oh..." he said feeling his face burn up as if he had put it into the steam of a pot with boiling water
"You're welcome... And... You too..." he looked at her again as he felt his face cooling down "Thanks for helping me... It's the first time I've taken studying seriously. Normally I'd just hang with my former friends, meaning I'd only get three days to study and then just barely passing without having to re-take" he said looking down at his shoes while kicking the ground a little "Thank you Kuki" he finished looking at her again.
She smiled broadly at him "No biggie" she said her face shining up as if competing with the sun.
Okay, so he had to admit it, this playground was pretty neat, Joey would probably love it here; heck he might be able to spend an entire day here. This playground even smelled new
It had the content of a slide about Wally's height, to the right of the slide two bobs was placed neatly next to each other, and a few feet to the right of the bobs a jungle gym stood in all its glory. In front of the Jungle gym a little balancing pole had been placed.
A couple of feet in front of the slide was a mid sized litter box and a few feet further away stood a swing set with two swings, the seats of the swings were made out of wheel tires.
A couple of feet behind of the slide, stretching up a smaller hill, an aerial ropeway made its appearance.
Wally looked amazed at the little playground, with a place like this kids would likely never grow bored, he looked to his left where Kuki stood, stars forming in her eyes as she looked at the playground with a dreamy look.
He couldn't help but to start laughing warmly at the sight of her, she snapped back to reality and looked at him with an angry pout on her lips as a pink color started caressing her cheeks
"What?" she asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice
"Nothing just... You didn't really come here to see if you could pass time with your sister here did you?"
"What do you mean" she asked acting offended
"You came here to play yourself didn't you?"
"So?" she asked heading towards the swing set "One never gets to old to play"
Wally chuckled a little following her, she sat herself on the swing furthers away from the slide, Wally was about to set himself on the other swing when two kids came running and snatched it away. They laughed as they shared the swing with joy.
Kuki giggled a little at Wally's misfortune whilst swinging lightly, but her giggle stopped abruptly along with the swing
"So you think that's funny ey you cruddy sheila?"
"Hey!" Kuki complained as Wally sat across of her "That wasn't very nice"
"Yeah yeah, hope you don't mind sharing" Wally stuck his tongue out and started the swing again, resting his feet in the hollow of the wheel tire.
Kuki followed his example putting her own legs between his so their knees where touching lightly.
The sun was slowly starting to set and the two kids on the other swing started heading home, however Wally and Kuki stayed lost in conversation; they didn't really feel like leaving just yet.
"Well at least this time I can be happy with my grades" Kuki smiled "Because this time I actually studied so I know I'll have done my best"
"Well... I just hope they don't think I'm cheating or something" Wally frowned
"Why would they think you're cheating?"
"Well because usually I just barely make it without having to retake, remember? But this year since I studied and stuff I'm probably gonna do pretty well"
"Of course you are" Kuki smiled
"Well yeah... Still I just hope they won't think I'm cheating"
"Well if they do, we'll just have to show them our notes and prove to them we've been studying together" Kuki smiled
"Yeah" Wally sighed
"Hey Wally?"
"Hm?"
"Are we just study buddies or are we like; friends?"
"I dunno" Wally shrugged "I mean... We've been talking about other stuff than our studies, so I guess we're friends"
Kuki giggled at his conclusion
"Yeah I guess you're right" she smiled
"In that case" wally said standing to get the swing into motion again "We should probably meet up over the summer or something"
"Ooh yeah, I would absolutely love that. We could do all sorts of things. We could go for walks and we could..."
Wally had somehow stopped listening. It had happened again. The moment Kuki had used the word love his heart had skipped a beat and his cheeks had started burning. What was wrong with him? He looked at the smiling girl going on and on about what they could do together.
She looked really beautiful in this lightning, and her smile was just to die for. Her hair swayed playfully in the mild breeze and her lips.
Her lips looked so soft
"Wouldn't that be wonderful Wally?"
"Yeah" Wally sighed "Wonderful"
"Something wrong?"
"Oh" Wally snapped out of it "Nah... I just spaced out" he scratched the back of his head nervously
Kuki giggled a little biting her lower lip lightly, she wanted to be closer to Wally.
Wally whose knees were touching hers
Wally whose fingers were touching hers
Wally who subconsciously leaned closer into her.
Kuki found herself following him, leaning closer and closer, until their noses touched
Closer and closer until their lips brushed
Closer until their lips crashed in a kiss
A kiss that made their harts beat so fast it felt as they weren't beating at all, it made their bodies quiver.
They parted, Kuki with a satisfied sigh and a smile spreading on her lips. Wally with a nervous chuckle and a mile complimenting Kuki's.
"To think" Wally said breaking the silence between them "This morning I was convincing my mom we were only friends
Kuki giggled at his simple confession and leaned in to taste his lips again.
It was nice to know, that no matter what they would always have each other from now on.
Even if their love should one day fall apart, which Kuki wouldn't bother to think too much about right now, they would still have each other as friends.
