We hug for a bit of time after our confessions before retreating back to my room. Snakes eyes, more or less, forces me over to my bed and to lie down. Me being me, pull him down with me. He puts his arms out to stop himself from crushing me. He hovers over me completely tense. I see a flash of the brown haired boy and younger me in a similar situation only outside by the tree. Finally, I can hear what is being said.
"I wish there was way you could stay. I feel like I just got you", the boy confessed.
"You did just get me … yesterday to be exact", I teased.
He leaned his leaned his head down so our foreheads touched. He looked into my eyes and kissed me. He pulled away and smirked at my blush. In my defense he's the first boy to kiss me.
"I really like you, Swift", he said.
"I really like you too, Snake Eyes", I giggled.
I gasp as I come out of the flashback. Snakes Eyes … he … I … what? The present Snake Eyes is just hovering over me right now, but I can tell he's looking at me with worry. Right now I don't care. I just need to try and rap my head around this discovery. Snakes Eyes and I met already … he was my ninja buddy. We have history. Does he remember? Does he think I'm someone else? Did he miss me? Are we still technically dating?
I leave my thoughts here and focus on the present. I stare at Snake Eyes for a bit before trailing my hands up his arms. I stop at his shoulders and gently pull him down more til we were inches apart. He tense up more if that's even possible.
"Do you remember me?" I whisper.
He nods slowly.
"I mean from when we were kids."
I elaborate in case he wasn't sure what I meant. Again, he nods slowly.
"So, are we … does this means … you know … are we still dating or is that invalid now?" I stutter.
The only movement he makes is to stroke my left cheek. Now that I can remember what his actual touch feels like, this gloved version is not as special. I want to feel is skin touch mine (not like that you perverts, okay maybe but not now).
"So I'm just going to take that as a yes. You don't have an option now, we're getting married in two years, you better start looking for locations", I joke.
He nods in a formal way. Does he know I am just kidding? Well if he doesn't I just get a kickbutt wedding in two years. This thought makes me smile.
"You know what? This conversation is too one-sided and I can't read your expressions so I'll just talk for you!" I declare.
"I missed you, Mystie! I never forgot about you! You're all I could think about!" I mock him in a semi-deep voice.
"I missed you too, but … my brother would never approve", I say dramatically.
"Who cares about him? I'll kick his ass across the world to be with you!" I exclaim in my deep voice.
I don't get to reply to myself because Snakey start tickling me. I guess he's tired off impersonation of him. Haha! I don't know why … haha … I thought I was spot on! I can so see him saying that stuff. Haha!
"Snake Eyes! Haha quit it! Ha I can't take it!" I beg through laughs. "I'm sorry!"
He lets up, lies down beside me, and pulls me so I'm lying on his armored chest. Surprisingly it actually feels nice. I look up him in the mask. I lean up and kiss his masked lips.
"I'm going to sleep now, but when I wake you better be here. Right beside me. Cuddling me. Like in those romantic movies. Capiche?" I joke adding a mock glare at the end.
Snake Eyes just pulls me closer to his chest and holds me like I might disappear. I snuggle into him and shut my eyes. I go to sleep wondering does he sleep with his mask on.
A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the wait but I didn't get my muse back until 11:30 at night. I know this one is shorter than usual but I'll try and make it up to you. She remembers him! Yay!
