Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I had writer's block. :P

Chapter 5

"Why must you hurt me in this way?" Ares asked Missy in a mock hurt tone. She just rolled her eyes at him. It's been almost a month since Ares met Missy and he was seriously regretting making this choice to act more like a mortal.

"I'm not hurting you in any way at all. I'm just making sure you don't get fired." The job with Joe didn't really work out. Ares was mopping the chemistry lab on his first day and he somehow managed to almost blow up the entire room and sear off one of his eye brow (which, to Missy dismay, grew back over night). After that he was threatened to be expelled and so that's how he got his job as a bus boy at The Shack (also to Missy's dismay).

The only thing he really seems to be in a good mood with is when he is in classes or when he is hanging around Missy. Most of the time. He was slowly growing to have feelings for her more and more. And since he is becoming to have the slightest feeling of….love?... he has been acting like a fool lately. Accidentally bumping into her to where all her books fall down (déjà vu), stumbling over his words when she dresses in something different than he is used to her wearing. Like once, she wore a skirt one day that rested a good 4 or 5 inches above the knee and he just couldn't grasp the idea of why she always wore pants if her legs seemed to go on for miles…..But he would never tell her that of course. She would obviously laugh or punch him in the face.

But the current situation he was in was one of the arguments when he kept thinking over and over to himself about why he loves this silly girl in the first place. "But why must I go to work today? Deborah is home to day and you know I never get to play-"

"I don't care if you never get to play your pathetic war games, Ares! This is the real world and you can't go off skipping work just to play video games!" she was practically shouting at him now. He didn't seem too happy about this though. "I don't care about the damn job! Please tell me why I need the bloody thing anyway?" Missy was practically fuming by this point. Usually Ares thought it was extremely amusing to watch her like this, but right now he was just as angry with her. She just grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the dorm. She yanked on his arm every time he tried to stop. She didn't notice the box of papers that was lying on the ground in front of her. "Missy watch out-" But Ares was interrupted yet again by Missy tripping over the box. Since he was so close to her due to her short arms, he tripped over her feet and was falling to the ground too.

Out of his natural instinct to protect her, he reached out and grabbed her by the waist and twisted so that she would fall on top of him, not vice versa. The impact of the fall was harder than either of them expected and when Ares hit the ground Missy came down on top of him and to her confusion and his embarrassment, their lips smashed together rather uncomfortably. They stayed like that for a moment, just staring wide eyed at each other, until Missy shot up with her face beet red and trying to help him up the best she could. He took her hand and pulled himself up, his face just as red as her's.

They stared at each other for a moment until Missy looked away, further embarrassed. Ares finally seemed to calm down and asked a question that made Missy want to explode from anger.

"Why the bloody hell did you do that?"

This chapter wasn't as good as I hoped it would come out, but thanks for still reading! Constructive criticism is wanted and needed! Thanks!

R&R please!
