Tesla turned to walk back to the house. When he turned the key in the lock and opened the door, he couldn't help but feel excited again. He walked up to the bathroom, clothes in hand, and changed into them, thanking GOD they fit right.
Kyoko walked a while to her studios and went through a hallway when the same person from last time saw her. "Kyoko? What are you doing here? You aren't working today" she said."Oh I was just wondering...um...could I borrow a dress from here?" she asked. "Why?" she asked Kyoko. "Well, um, our school is having a dance...and I don't have a dress." Kyoko said looking down. "Well that's not a problem at all!" the girl said.
Tesla, after he was changed, and cleaned up, could only sit and wait for Kyoko to arrive. And boy, was he eager to see what dress she picked out.
"Ok well here's a room full of dresses that I hope you can find to your liking" her freind said leading her to a room. "Just borrow one and have it back here tommorow afternoon, ok?" she said. "Alright!" Kyoko said happily. "Have fun!" the girl said as she left. "Oh look at all these dresses, they are so wonderful!" she said as she found a few she liked, but couldn't choose between them.
She finally found the most beautiful dress that caught her eye. It was sleeveless and corset styled. There was a deep purple down to the waist, then the skirt was a lacy black. "It's so pretty!" she said. She walked out of the door to the room holding the dress. "Here, put it in this box" her freind said as she was waiting outside the door. "Ah, Okay!" Kyoko said smiling, and put it inside the box her freind offered her. "You've been a great help!" Kyoko said smiling. "You're welcome...oh and here. Wear this, you'll look so great in it!" the girl said, handing Kyoko a small and silver tiara. "Oh...my...gosh..." Kyoko said. "Enjoy it!" her freind said as Kyoko ran out of the studio squealing with joy.
Tesla could feel Kyoko coming nearer. He nearly giggled. Kyoko opened the door, hoping Tesla was there. She couldn't wait to try on her dress. "Hi hi!" she said as she opened the door. Tesla stood up and hugged Kyoko.
"Hey!" he said, happilly. She saw how nicely he was dressed and squealed. "Oh wow! You look so amazing! I love it!" she said hugging him back.
"Thank you! Now go up and change! I wanna see what you look like!" he said, in a slightly higher voice. Kyoko smiled. "Ok, I'll go um change into this stuff real quick" she said grabbing her stuff and running toward the bathroom. "Should I take a quick shower first?" she asked herself.
"Probably would be best" she said smiling. She undressed and took a quick shower then dried herself off and wrapped a towel around herself and brushed her hair out nicely. She then slipped her dress on and put the tiara on her head."I feel like...I feel like a princess!" she said happily. She had always loved the princess stories when she was a child, and the girl that always wore the tattered clothes soon became a beautiful princess and lived happily with her prince. Kyoko remembered those stories and felt just like the princess in those stories and was so happy. She stepped out of the bathroom wondering what Telsa's reaction would be.
Tesla's smile stretched to both ears, and his eyes ((forgive me, EYE singular)) nearly popped out of his head.
"K-Kyoko!" he said, getting up and attacking her with hugs, "You...look so great!"
"Aah!" she said at the immediate hug attacks. "I, uh, you really think I look that great?" she asked. "Yes, you look beautiful!" he said, looking her up and down. Kyoko turned red and smiled. "Thanks! You look really awesome too!" she said.
"I am so excited!" he squee'ed. "Me too!" she said excitedly. She looked at the clock. "Oh we should probably be leaving now." she said. Tesla smiled. "Yeah. Hey, if we Sonido, do you think it'll mess up your dress?"
"Um, probably not" she said smiling up at him. Tesla took her in his arms. "Okay then!" he said, then sped off.
Once again, they were at the school in seconds flat. "Yay we're here!" she said smiing. There was loud music and lights coming from inside the school And it was decorated on the outside too.
Tesla grabbed Kyoko's hand. "C'mon, let's go!" Kyoko smiled and walked inside with him and saw all the people and decorations and everything. The music was played, some was Japanese and some was English. "Ooh cool!" she said smiling.
Tesla smiled as he looked around. "Wow, they really have this place dressed up, don't they?"
"Totally!" she said smiling. "Ooh they have drinks and stuff in one of those bowls over there! They have like, what, juice, water, tea..." she said as she looked at all the bowls of drinks and cups they had on one table.
You want me to go get you something?" Tesla asked, before he met eyes with a certain...beady...purple eye.
"Nnoitra!" he yelped, then turned to Kyoko, "Kyoko....N-Nnoitra-sama's here..."
"Um...It'll be fine" she said trying to calm him down. "B-but what if he's really mad at me, but he just didn't show it to you?" he whispered, until he felt a long, cold hand on his back. "NNOITRA!" he yelped, turning around, "Phew...you scared me..." Nnoitra looked down at Tesla, who was shaking slightly. He sighed. "Hey, Tesla. How're you?" he asked, nonchalantly, but Tesla swore he heard sadness. "Um...fine...Nnoitra...how are you?"
"Uh...fine."
"Wow akward" Kyoko commented. "Well um if you two are going to talk and stuff I'm gonna go get a drink" she said.
Tesla nodded at Kyoko, mostly so he could deal with whatever Nnoitra was going to say without difficulty.
He examined Nnoitra's...outift. "You're dressed up." he commented. Nnoitra smiled. "Uh...yeah...I had to...uh...go to a tailor for my outfit, since I'm so tall..." Tesla laughed. "So, why'd you come over here?" "Well, I only wanted to talk...and..." Nnoitra seemed to snap, "Please, Tesla, please come back to me!" Tesla jolted, and took a few steps back. "Nnoitra!"
"I wonder if I should tell him..." Kyoko said to herself as she poured herself a drink. She wondered if Tesla would want a drink to. "Hmmm..." she wondered as she saw Sho, surrounded by a lot of fangirls, coming over to her. He was amazed by how pretty she looked. "W-wow..." was all he could say. He left the crowd of fangirls and walked over to Kyoko. "K-Kyoko?" he asked. She turned around. "Yeah?" she said. "You, uh, look...really great" he said. "Thanks" she said.
Tesla, in the meantime, was having to beat Nnoitra off of his leg with a punch ladle. "Nnoitra! Get off! No! You broke my heart and now you have to pay the price!" Nnoitra looked up at him. "I broke...your heart?" he said, puzzled. Tesla turned his head and nodded.
Kyoko turned and saw what was happening with Tesla and Nnoitra. "Uh oh..." she said. Sho saw what was going on and laughed. "Aren't you gonna go break that up or something?" he asked her. "Um...not just yet..." she said.
Nnoitra got up and brushed himself off. "I'm...uh...sorry, Tesla. I had no idea. Really," He felt like a real idiot.
Tesla hugged Nnoitra's waist. "That's all I wanted to hear." he said, but Nnoitra pushed him off. "Nope. None of that." he said, and Tesla smiled and nodded. "Okay, Nnoitra-sama."
"Now. Now you should go over there" Sho said to her. "Hey don't tell me what to do!" she said. "Fine whatever" he said getting some drink himself. Kyoko sighed and was going to walk back over but Sho grabbed her from behind. "Hey, I know we've had a bad history, but do you think soemtime tonight...you would want to save a dance for me?" he asked looking into his eyes. "Sho..." she said. "Please?" he asked. "Um..." Kyoko said, looking over at Tesla, then back at Sho. "We'll see" she said.
Nnoitra smiled. "So...uh...if it's not too much trouble...could I steal you from your girlfriend for a dance...?"
Tesla pondered it a bit. "Um...maybe. I'll have to think about it. And ask Kyoko. Wait---SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"Um, I'll go ask if it's ok with him if I dance with you" she said and ran over to Tesla. "Do you think that for like one song, it would be ok for me to dance with Sho?" she asked. Please say yes..., Sho thought.
Tesla smiled. "I was just about to ask you if I could dance with Nnoitra!" he said, then giggled, "How wierd! Sure, go ahead!"
Wow sounds great" Kyoko said smiling. She walked back over to Sho as My Immortal started playing. "So you wanna dance?" Sho asked her. Kyoko smiled and nodded as he put his hands around her waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck and they started to dance. "Do you like this song?" Sho asked her. "Mhmm" she replied.
Tesla skipped over to Nnoitra. "Kyoko said it was fine!" he said, and Nnoitra scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah...okay. So...uh..."
He was interrupted by two hands, straining to reach his shoulders. Nnoitra sighed.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked. Tesla blushed.
"I can't reach...your shoulders..." he said softly.
"Well you can fucking try!" he said, stretching Tesla's arms up, making him squeak.
"Ow, Nnoitra-sama...that hurts!"
He finally gave up and put his hands on Nnoitra's slender chest.
Nnoitra wrapped his arms around Tesla's waist, and they began to sway.
"I like the beat of this song..."Nnoitra commented.
"How are you feeling?" Sho asked Kyoko.
"You actually care?" Kyoko asked looking up at him.
"W-well of course..." He said.
"Well, I'm very happy" she said smiling.
"Really? He said.
"Mhmm" she replied.
"You look great" he said.
"Thanks...you don't look to bad yourself!" she said.
"I never do!" he said laughing.
"Ha I guess that explains your millions of fangirls following you over there" Kyoko said smiling.
"Yeah I think they are getting kind of jealous" he said. "Yeah I guess" Kyoko said holding back a laugh.
Tesla inhaled the scent of Nnoitra, but Nnoitra caught him doing this.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he yelled, "You got a girlfriend, ya don't need ta be fucking sniffing me!" Tesla blushed.
"Was not sniffing you!" he yelled, a bit too loud. He hoped Kyoko didn't hear.
As they continued to sway, Tesla realized how out of character Nnoitra was acting. Holding him so close...letting them dance...it was strange.
Kyoko looked over at Tesla and Nnoitra dancing and couldn't help but giggle and turned back to Sho. "Kyoko, about apologizing earlier...I really am sorry for everything-" he said interupted by Kyoko. "I know I already hear-" She said interupted by Sho. "No! I am really truly sorry. My words hurt you bad, and I am so sorry. I should never have said those things, or used you like that. When the truth is..." he sighed and looked down. "I really like you Kyoko." he said. She gasped.
Tesla smiled at Nnoitra, until Nnoitra patted him on the cheek.
"Hey, what're you smiling for?" he asked.
Tesla only smiled harder.
"This is a side of you I've never seen before." he said, plainly.
Nnoitra blushed. Tesla swore he saw Nnoitra blush.
"Nuh...nuh uh...I just...I"m just sorry. I'm sorry I boss you around. The truth is...I really do care for ya...Tes..."
"Y-you really like me?" she said. "Yeah, and I liked you a lot always...and then we came to that school and that...that...that idiot over there is trying to make you like him! I know it! I want you to be with me, not him. I know I've done some really stupid things in the past, but I want to throw those all away, and you be with me! Please Kyoko, please?" Sho said holding her closer to him.
Tesla's big blue eyes widened.
"You...what?"
"I like you, Tesla..." he said, then picked up the conversation across the room, "Uh, Tes, he's hitting on your girl." he said, sadly.
Tesla glanced over.
"What?!"
"I-I really don't know Sho..." she said looking away for a moment. "Please Kyoko, Please! I really want you! I like you a lot...more than just that I...I love you, Kyoko" he said pulling her head so her eyes met his. "Y-you do?" she asked. "Of course! And I really wanna be with you!" he said. "I...uh..." Kyoko said, not knowing what to say. Was this real? Did Sho really like her?
Tesla didn't want to go over there. Kyoko and Sho were having "that" conversation. He couldn't stop it from happening. All of the sudden...in Nnoitra's arms at last, he lost the will to fight. To fight against Sho...to fight for Kyoko. What could he do, anyway? He didn't deserve Kyoko. He didn't deserve anyone. That's why Nnoitra treated him the way he did.
He felt tears coming to his eyes. "Tesla, are you okay...?" Nnoitra asked. Tesla nodded. "Yes...just...don't stop swaying...please, Nnoitra-sama..."
"So, what do you think, Kyoko?" Sho said looking into her eyes. "I-I really don't..." she started. "Please! I promise not to hurt you again! If you'll only be with me!" he begged. "I'm sorry, Sho...but I really like someone else...but can we still be freinds?" she asked him. "K-kyoko...you're going to pick someone else over me? Someone who is willing to throw away their past just for you? And promise never to hurt you again?" he said, tears forming in his eyes. "I really am sorry Sho, but..." she said looking over at Tesla.
Tesla looked over at them, and caught Kyoko's glance. A smile tried it's hardest to form, but...He turned back to Nnoitra, who looked reeeally creeped out. "Tesla..." he whispered.
The song finally ended and Sho and Kyoko stopped dancing. "Kyoko, please?" Sho asked as she was about to walk away. "I'm really sorry Sho, I like somebody else, a lot. But I hope we can still be freinds" she said, turning around to smile faintly at him.
"You are really gonna give me up, after I am offering you the world...for him?" Sho asked. Kyoko nodded. "Ok then just...just go I don't care..." he said walking away back into his screaming crowd of fangirls. "Sh-Sho!" she said after him. "Just shut up, ok?" he yelled after her, and a tear went down her face. "I...I'm sorry..." she whispered.
Tesla unhanded Nnoitra, and began to walk to Kyoko. "I heard..." he said, softly, "So, what'd you say...?"
"I...had to say no to him..." she said looking down. "He offered me the world if I would only be with him, but I couldn't" she said. "Why?" Tesla asked, "He offered you...the world?"
"So? I just couldn't see that happening!" she said. "I really couldn't see me with him"
"Well..." Tesla began, "to tell you the truth...I was hoping you'd say no...Kyoko..."
"R-really?" she asked him. "Y-yeah...I...really didn't want you to be with him..."
"You didn't want me to be with him....because..." her voice trailed off. "Because...I...uhm...I...like...y-you..." he whispered. Kyoko smiled up at him. "That's the exact reason I had to say no to Sho...cause I like you too" she said.
Tesla blushed. "Y-you do...?" he said in his soft voice, clearly surprised. "Of course I do! You really understand me and you are so nice to me! And I really like you for that! And I never ever want you to leave" she said.
Tesla smiled.
"Sa-same here!" he said, giggling uncontrolably, "I've liked you ever since...I...well, ever since I got over Nnoitra...for the most part."
"Oh...that's...that's awesome!" she said and hugged him tightly. "I am so so so thankful you came...I thank the God every day that you came here to me" she said.
Tesla smiled. "One day is all it takes." "I agree!" she said smiling. "I'm...I'm so glad you feel the same way I do..." she said. "Me...me too." He reached out a hand. "Would you like to dance?" he asked. Tsumetai Yoru started playing and she grabbed his hand. "Sure." she said smiling.
Tesla squeezed her hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist. "I really can dance, you know."
"Yeah you seem pretty good at it" she said smiling. She put her other arm around her neck. The first time she had ever actually danced with anyone was tonight, and she danced with Sho first...but she had totally forgot about that.
Tesla smiled as he began to waltz with her. "Do you know how to waltz?" he asked. "Uh, no...could you show me?" she asked. "Just follow my feet...I don't care if you step on my feet." he said, then laughed. Kyoko giggled. "Um, ok!" she said as she followed what he was doing. "Wow this is fun!" she said smiling.
"Very graceful...my favorite dance." he commented. "Wow, you're a natural." "R-really? Thanks!" she said smiling. "Yeah. You're welcome." he said. He wondered what Nnoitra and Sho were doing right now.
Nnoitra walked over to Sho. "Looks like we both lost, eh?" he said. "Mmm I guess so" Sho said looking back over at Kyoko. "I really like her...but she wants him...I offered the world to her and she denied it" he said sadly. Tesla glanced over at Nnoitra and Sho. "Well, I was just born with certain things, I suppose."
"I guess so...and I totally regretted everything I did to Kyoko..." Sho said. "I regret hitting Tesla as many times as I did...and pushing him to hard when we trained...and pushing him away when he tried to hug me...and..."
"I guess we both treated them like crap, huh? And broke their hearts. But, look how happy they are? Kyoko is just like the princess in the stories she used to read as a kid..." Sho said.
"You are a lot better at this than I am though" Kyoko said smiling. "Who taught you to dance like this?" Tesla glanced over at Nnoitra and Sho. "Well, I was just born with certain things, I suppose." Kyoko giggled. "Probably so!" Tesla looked into Kyoko's eyes. He had never been happier than he was right now.
Kyoko smiled at him. She had never had somebody love her or anything...so she felt like the princess in her stories. First Kyoko had nothing, now she had a dress, a tiara, and a prince. It was the happiest time in her life and she never wanted it to end. All the times she doubted her so called fairy tale thing to come true, it finally had, and with the perfect guy too.
But there was just one thing missing... Tesla blushed hard and kissed Kyoko, his hand squeezing her's hard. Kyoko was immediately surprised, but didn't let go as she wrapped both her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Ah...the perfect ending to the perfect love story, Tesla thought, as he pulled Kyoko closer.
