Butterflies
"Well maybe if you didn't clumsily fall in the middle of it all they wouldn't run away." Kenji said in a huff watching a confused Uriko tilt her head in reply. She was sitting where she had fallen only seconds ago, butterflies in every shade of the rainbow, fluttering away like dust clouds, rising from the silky flowers.
Giggling she turned her face upwards to the clear blue sky, but not before glaring pointedly at him.
"Yeah, well," Sticking her tongue out, she smirked and leapt up to dance away. "There!" But Kenji refused to budge from his place in the middle of the field, and simply stood there, his arms crossed and his face locked in a look of crooked boredom. But his eyes couldn't leave her form. Every movement she made, made him want to fall over laughing. She was one of the clumsiest people he'd ever met…
And again she was on her face, this time in a new location, with new butterflies fleeing, who'd thought they could escape the clumsy cat-girl by fluttering only feet away. Chuckling he smirked, his eyes still on the now angry looking Uriko. Without a moment lost she was on her feet running full speed towards him. As soon as she was in range she leapt towards him, and together they fell, rolling in the field of wildflowers, squishing hundreds of daisies, and sending even more butterflies fluttering frantically into the clear blue sky.
As they came to a stop she smirked above him in triumph. And all he could see was her face, like bright sunshine, surrounded by millions of flowers, each its own luscious and vivid color, rising up from emerald stalks. She stuck her tongue out one last time, but this time he caught it and her lips with his own. After moments melted into minutes she sat up and giggled.
"I just want one!" She continued. "I mean, just one. You wouldn't think they'd be so incredibly hard to catch!" Kenji followed her motions and sat up, wrapping his arms around her, and narrowing his eyes to see the fields around him clearer.
"Just one?" He asked, his voice barely able to rise above Uriko's own as she ranted about being unable to catch one. Stopping she looked at him, surprise covering the rainbow of emotions that had been there only moments ago. Her head tilted like a kitten's would and slowly she moved off his lap.
"Yay! I knew you'd get me one!" She squealed, clapping excitedly. Kenji leaned back on his arms for a moment, then sighed.
"I guess…" He said, watching her with dark, earth colored eyes… eyes that were dark and cold to everyone but her. Shrugging he laid down, laying his arms flat and open like he was accepting a hug. Uriko blinked and then leaned over him, watching her with sparkling, laughing eyes.
"What're you doing?" She huffed, pouting as she continued to watch him.
"Lay down." He whispered, moving a finger slowly to his lips before he laid it back in the grass. Blinking she chewed her lip for a moment before following his movements.
As she laid down the world melted from view, and she could see nothing but the pure azure sky framed by jewel-toned flowers, and the tall grass that surrounded her, and encased her walls of swaying, glossy green life.
"Now what?" She whispered, moving slow like he had moments before.
"That." He whispered back. His voice sent chills from her as the sky above them erupted into colors. The flowers around them surged, like ocean waves, as masses of butterflies hovered above the protection of the little, colorful forest. Each was like velvet, and against the sun they looked like shards of stained glass, with sunlight filtering through the vibrant colors of their wings. Gasping she watched as each danced towards the sun, until the sun bleached them from existence, and then each would fall back down like single colored star from heaven.
And after they'd laid in the same place for long enough the butterflies began landing on them, blessing them with soft kisses with each landing. Uriko giggled and sneezed as one landed on her nose, and the noise sent the rest up into the air.
"See?" Kenji asked, sitting up and leaning over to see her giggling, still pressed into the flowers and grass of the field. Sitting up she hugged him tight, making a blush cover his face.
"Ah!! Wait till Alice hears! She'll be so jealous! She only got lunch, I got butterflies and lunch!" Kenji scratched his head, watching her stand and begin dancing through the flowers, her arms stretched out wide. Finally she froze and bent over to kiss his cheek before she started gathering their things. "We better hurry or we'll never make it to the lake to eat with them in time!" After she collected everything she hurried down the path. Kenji reluctantly followed watching her dreamily as she jogged down the trail.
And none of the love left his eyes when she tripped and landed once again on the ground giggling, cursing her clumsiness.
