AN: i originally didn't want to post this right now since i wanted it to coincide with WOS. there's a small bit of spoiler for it here, but if you follow the World Youth Manga, then i guess its not necessarily a spoiler anymore... sort of. because i mostly follow that arc, but with my own twist (if you read WOS, then you already know it) so yeah, here you go.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Who needed a stuffy, boring party full of formalities between teenagers like them? They're young adults! They might be expected to be mature enough to understand adult matters, but that didn't mean that they couldn't be the minors that they were.

Besides, that kind of party would just create more tensions around them than there already were. Let them release those even for just one night. They're still teenagers, they deserve to be one at least for a while. Tomorrow, it'll be back to business again and they could all duke it out on the field.

For now, she's going to party like no tomorrow and have fun.

The party was working, at least in her opinion. She was sitting around the table she occupied with her cousin and their other friendly. She was really grateful that their grandfather, agreed to support the idea for Japan to host this tournament and lend the hotel's grand room for this occasion.

It was amazing how such a party like this could erase all the tensions they all felt earlier. Everyone was just having the time of their lives. There was no glares, no arrogance, no rivalries. Just smiles and dancing to the beat of the music.

It was amazing.

She was about to stand up and join the dancing again, expecting another upbeat song to play. But apparently, she guessed wrong. The DJ choose to play a slow song of all times. And it had to be one of her favorite songs too! Except she didn't have someone to dance with for this song. Damn.

Naturally, the couples started to flock the dance floor. What was surprising though was that, there was even someone from a different country asking someone from another one. Oh gosh that's so cute! Maybe she should just sit this song out and watch these couples. It seemed so much more entertaining than just wallowing here in self-pity for not having someone to dance with.

She could see her cousin and Tsubasa shyly wrapping their arms around each other. Dear Lord, these two were just too sweet. Sometimes, she wanted to puke when she saw them act like the destined soul mates that they were.

But still, she couldn't help but feel jealous even a just a little bit. Would she ever get the same thing in her life?

"Why the glum face?" his voice interrupted her train of thought. She looked up to see him standing beside her, with his hands in his pockets and a teasing smile on his face.

"Nothing," she huffed as she crossed her arms and leaned against her chair. Hell would have to freeze before she admits that she was jealous.

She heard him chuckle and she gave him a glare.

"You're such a bad liar," he said to her. "I've known you for three years now. I can see that something's wrong."

She tried to deny and retort back that she was fine, but seeing the way he was looking at her disbelievingly made her just glare at him and stop talking.

"Fine, don't tell me," she heard him say. "But, don't spend all of your time sulking in the corner. Come one," she felt him grab her arm and she tried to tell him to wait but he wouldn't listen and dragged her on to the dance floor.

"It's one of your favorites, right?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist, making her to instinctively put her arms around his neck. "I figured you would rather dance to it than just sulking there in the corner."

"I was not sulking," she denied vehemently.

"Sure you weren't," he replied amusingly as she glared up to him, but she didn't hold onto it because she knew that she could never stay mad at him. Her heart loved him too much for that.

But seriously, she couldn't help but admit that what he did, pulling her with him to the dance floor was sweet. Sweet enough to make her heart swell, because this song meant so much to her and having him dance to it with her made it more special.

Gingerly she looked up to him, and she couldn't help wish this wouldn't end.

But, for some reason, her heart was calm. Unlike those books and manga she read where all the girls' heart races whenever they were this close to their crushes. She was calm and her heart was so full of love for him.

She wasn't expecting to fall in love when she's a teenager, but then again most of her favorite Disney characters fell in love when they were her age. It was okay to feel like a princess sometimes, right? Because that's how he makes her feel, even more so for doing this more her.

That's why she can feel her love for him growing even more.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered all her courage and slowly captured his lips with hers.
