THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!


'Damn it! why?! why did this have to happen!' Anise continued to run with tears flowing freely from her chocolate orbs, she didn't know how far she ran but she knew it was far since she was bent over sucking in gallons of air into her clamped lungs. Sweat poured from her brow, lips parted, chest heaving Anise tried to get enough air and clear her clouded eyes as the tears continued to pour

"It's not fair! Sync is just a friend to me! he's been me friend for so long I thought...he would always be there for me, always" her breath hitched once more as her face flushed from the run and the pain,

"Why didn't he tell me on the phone? or text me? or something?! why did he have to let Arietta tell me!?" her shrill scream resounded through out the forest outside of the city, not caring that she would probably be late if not absent for school, Anise stood where she was. Casting her swollen eyes to the sky she let her mind wander freely, as she let the sun bath her in its loving embrace, the wind carcass her like the loving mother she never had, the trees, leaves and vibrant greenery giving her the sense of overwhelming peace. Reminding her of one person,

"...Sync..." no matter how much she tried to escape his gaze, his face she couldn't get away. He was always on her mind. A humorless laugh escaped her lips, a light blush on her cheeks.

"When did I start feeling this way towards you, Sync?" once the question had formed its shape out side of her mind, she automatically knew the answer. It was before he became Arietta's boyfriend, long before she liked Ion, maybe...when she first met him.

'Yeah, back then...the first time I saw him, the first time we talked to each other, it was then when I liked him, I...just didn't know' she felt like smacking her forehead at her stupidity, all this time she had felt something for the boy, a warm feeling flow through her whole body when he was with her.

"I love him...I love Sync...and it hurts so much" clenching her chest in excruciating pain her tears were freed once more, Anise let her body fall to the ground with a hard thump. When a pair of footsteps crunching the crisp grass, sounded closer to her with each passing second. The seventeen year old girl, looked up towards the noise and up into worried green eyes.


"Ion..." the girls voice cracked as the boy kneeled down beside his girlfriend,

"I hoped to find you here" he smiled, putting his right hand on her left shoulder, slightly wincing at the her swollen puffy eyes.

"Please...Ion leave me alone"

"I can't do that Anise" shaking his head his green hair following his movement in every way.

"Sync isn't here yet, so until he is I have to be here for you" his voice slightly twitched with anger at the mention of the other green eyed boy, her chocolate eyes looking into Ion's bright ones,

"Wha-what do you me-mean?" his smile was the kindest he ever gave towards anyone, making the brunette blush slightly

"I've always known that you liked Tempest and he you" Anise's eyes widened in shock, her head off her knees.

"What?!"

"Ever since you both came into school two years ago, I knew both of you liked each other more than the both of you lead on, to yourselves as well as everyone else" the boy genius smirked at Anise's growing blush

"Then why did you...?" without finishing her sentence Ion held her in his arms close to his heart.

"Even though I always knew, I couldn't help but like you too Anise" he loosened his grip on the brunette slightly and looked into her wide brown eyes,

"When you asked me out that day, I couldn't help that my heart felt like soaring! I just had to ask you out as well, I wanted you for myself for at least a moment, I'm sorry" he down cased his eyes to the ground avoiding the girls gaze, not noticing Anise move closer to him. Until he felt a pair of soft lips on his right cheek in a gentle and soft kiss.

Ion's eyes widened in shock as Anise's own eyes stared at him, before she quickly pulled away.

"Thank you Ion, for understanding me so well when I didn't, you've always been there for me, I'm really glad I was your girlfriend!" Anise blushed giving him a slight smile, the boy could only nod when fast approaching footsteps came closer to the teens, both standing close to each other looking at the figure that appeared from the shadows.


"Sync?!"

"Anise! I found you!" the other green haired boy breathed out as he stood beside the tree a few feet away from Ion and Anise. Green locked on green, both seething with anger when Ion took a step forward, but not before he broke the gaze with the Tempest boy to look down into Anise's.

"I'll always be here if you ever need me, I promise" he gave a smile and a soft kiss to the brunette's forehead. Turning his stare back to Sync's making his way close to him until they were shoulder to shoulder, both looking the other way.

"If you ever hurt her again Tempest, I will make sure you suffer" Ion's voice deep with a dark promise,

"Heh keep your threats to yourself Fon, I will never hurt her again, you can bet on that" Sync's own voice dark with promise, green clashed with green once more before Ion left without a word taking one look back towards his now ex girlfriend. With slight pained eyes, he disappeared into the light forest going to explain to Mr. Mohs why Tempest and Anise were absent for the day. Leaving the brunette and the green headed boy behind in silence.

"Anise..."

"...Sync" both the teens orbs never looking away from each other as the noise of the forest cease to exist.

"..what Arietta said back there it wasn't true, I don't want to stop seeing you Anise"

"How can I be sure?" her defenses up and barricaded her already wounded self.

"Would you really believe Gloomietta over me?" Sync's sounded a bit teased and hurt at the same time,

"No but how do I know that you just want to...!" Anise's sentence went left unanswered as Sync flashed from across the field to right in front of Anise, pressing his flushed lips harshly on her own tanned ones. Time stood still as if watching the teens pour out their emotions in that one stolen kiss. Sync's strong arms wound closely almost possessively around Anise's petite waist pulling her closer to him, while her own arms would around the head taller boy's neck pulling him down crushing their lips together. However much both wanted to stay like that for as long as possible they needed air, so reluctantly they let their lips release each other only to stare into each others eyes.

"Bastard, you stole my first kiss" Anise flushed red with a slight pout only making her look cuter,

"That was the only way to shut you up, too bad I didn't think of it sooner" Sync smirked as his own face was flushed with a deep red aligning his cheeks. However his eyes looked pained,

"I'm sorry Anise I OUCH! what the hell was that for?!" the green haired male let go of the girl with one hand as he held his left cheek rubbing the spot the brunette had pinched.

"What's with you all of a sudden? when you were mean to me you'd do something to make up to me, but you never apologized so why now?" Anise teased, "did staying with Arietta make you soft?"

"No you idiot! I was trying to apologize...for all the times I didn't" his green eyes crestfallen, missing Anise's growing smirk at the uncharacteristically shy boy knowing that one thing could most likely bring him out of his daze. She roughly pulled him down onto her as she crushed their lips together once more. This got his attention in a heart beat, and Anise couldn't help but smile from under him.

"You stupid boy, just tell me what's on your mind and I'll forgive you" the teenage girl smiled with a growing blush over her tanned face, Sync signed in defeat,

'Has she always had this much power over me?' he smiled in return

"I love you Anise" pulling the brunettes body closer to his she grinned,

"I thought you'd say that! I love you too Sync" and they kissed once again. Letting the sun bathe them in its warmth that entire morning.
