Ch. 6
The wind gently blew, bristling the trees. There was a faint smell of charcoal burning. The sun was burning brightly on my skin. I awkwardly sat next to the guy who became my stalker. Avoiding eye contact, no words spoken, it was really awkward. Words couldn't come to mind so I didn't speak at all, just followed him to the park. "What do you want?" I finally said.
Nothing. He came all the way to my house, stood in front of it for two hours, then guided me to the park, not uttering a single coherent word. "Are you okay?"
I scoffed, "Giddy." I started drumming my fingers against the bench as there was another awkward. "Look, if you're gonna try to pry into my past again don't bother."
He smirked, "A guy can't ask if someone's okay? That's a little shady."
"Not if the guy is a freakish stalker."
"I am not a stalker." he looked at me.
I grinned, "Really? How'd you know where I live?" He opened his mouth to say something but shut it. I got up and stretched, "I'm fine. Really. So you can tell Ruka that he doesn't need to send you over here." I started walking by, the smell of barbeque getting stronger. I felt a tug on my elbow, "He didn't send me over here." His eyes once again pierced me.
"Really." I said. He nodded his head.
"Then why are you here?"
He rolled his eyes as he let go of my arm. "You are so stupid sometimes."
I grimaced and started walking once more, this time he didn't stop me but followed five steps behind. It was like this for a while. We walked and walked, five steps in front of him and five steps behind me. As the time went by, the sky became a glistening orange, the smell of barbeque gone, mothers calling their children to go home and eat. I noticed as I was walking, a child playing by himself as other kids left one by one. He'd looked up then look down to continue playing. Looking up again seeing if his mom was there yet, waiting to be called. He reminded me of me. Waiting and waiting for mom to pick me up from the park, saying 'Mikan! Time to go home!'
My gaze continued to linger on that little boy. I didn't notice the tears that left my eyes or the warm hand that held mine and guided me back to reality. That little boy's mom finally came and he left with the biggest smile on his face.
"Sit." he said, pointing to the swing. I continued to stand there looking at him like a weirdo until he forced me to sit on the swing. He went around me and lifted me off the ground and threw me forward. I was startled, he kept pushing me and I went higher and higher. "H-Hey, stop!" I said. He didn't listen and I kept swinging back and forth.
The sun was gone. The street lights on, the crickets making its music. The higher I went, I felt at ease. I felt like I was given a head start before taking flight. Suddenly, I jerked back. He grabbed the chains and stopped me abruptly, I felt a sudden rush and there he was, right in front of me. He smirked, "Feeling better now?"
I felt my face warm, the goosebumps on my arms, that twitching in my chest. "I was fine this whole time." I looked away. He scoffed, standing straight, still looking at me. "Idiot." he said.
I scrutinized him and stood up, that twitching growing into a tremble. "Oi, you've been insulting me this whole time and yet you follow me around til the sun went down."
"Well someone should've made it so I wouldn't have to care." he said, putting his hands in his pockets.
"Why does someone care if someone else could careless about that someone who cares?" I retorted.
"Someone shouldn't have to careless about someone who could care about someone who doesn't actually care about someone." he replied.
"We—wait, I'm confused now. Someone who cares but someone else who cares less..."
He laughed, it wasn't a chuckle or a grin, but an actual laugh, "Like I said, you're an idiot."
I groaned. Arguing with this guy always had me going nowhere. I turned on my heel and started walking, it was getting cold. "Hey!" he yelled behind me. I kept walking, it was really chilly. "Hey!" he kept saying, but I still walked. I heard a few rapid footsteps behind me and he was suddenly in front of me. "Hey!" he said, looking deep into my eyes.
"Wha-" he kissed me. Before I could say anything, he kissed me. His hands holding onto my cheeks which I felt were getting warmer. The trembling in my heart became a full on earthquake. His eyes were closed as he slowly moved his lips against my still lips. My eyes were staring at the dark blue sky, but all I could see were these bright bursts of colors, it wasn't cold anymore. I saw someone playing the violins and I closed my eyes, beginning to move my lips with his. His hypnotism almost took over me, but Ruka suddenly flashed in my head. I pushed Hyuuga away from me, "You can't!" I screamed.
He looked at me in a way I felt my knees go weak. "Mikan.." he stepped closer.
"Don't!" I breathed in, "Just stop. Don't do this." He looked at me, confused. I bit my lip, looking at him one last time, I ran. I ran against the chilly atmosphere of the night. I ran ignoring his voice calling my name. I ran though my heart was already trembling from the kiss, the adrenaline, lack of oxygen.
I opened the front door to Youichi sitting on the couch, watching tv. He didn't notice me and kept his eyes on the new episode of One Piece. He laughed as Zoro got lost again while trying to stairs to get to Robin. I walked over to Youichi and hugged him. He was baffled, "Sis, w-what are you doing?" I hugged him tighter as I tried to erase the memory of what had happened away. "Dude you smell like sweat!" he said.
;p
"He WHAT?" Sumire screamed as we were eating lunch. I tried calming her down when a few people around us were staring.
"Quiet would you? He kissed me! Not shut up, people are staring." I said. Her eyes were popping out from the shock, she slumped back down.
"And you ran? What's the matter with you!" She shrieked.
I put my head on the table, "I don't know! Ruka's face popped into my head when I was kissing him, it startled me."
She didn't say anything as she slowly picked at her tater tots. "Here comes the itch-bay." I jerked my head up.
I turned around and saw Luna walking towards me looking furious. I opened my mouth to say something but she slapped me, hard.
"How dare you to have the nerve to kiss my boyfriend!" she yelled.
"Boyfriend?" I asked dumbfounded, "That fucker.."
I hope you guys can tell me what you think! Yay? Meh? Nay? Review please and thank you :)
