She didn't mean to stare. It's just that when she wanted to zone out, he was usually in her line of vision and her eyes wondering down. She felt like a pervert. But his lips looked so damn soft.

Okay, maybe she was losing her mind and maybe hanging out with a bunch of guys was affecting her. She couldn't even blame that. The pinkette sighed and cursed her stupid teenage hormones as well as put her head down on the desk facing the other direction. Her blue eyes watched the leafs fall. School had just started back up and it was late fall. Another year of staring from a distance and another year of never even telling him her name.

"Ms. Farron would you like to join the rest of the class or are you going to drool on the desk all period?" A few stifled snickers from the class erupted. She lifted her head from the desk and the teacher continued lecturing. As if her mind betrayed her once again, his lips were once again in her sights.

Noctis felt the heavy stare of Lightning from across the room. She was quiet and so was she but why did she always have to give him that look? The look of someone who wants to say something important but chooses not to. He realized she was not the most conversational but usually she did speak her mind.

It was just odd. He watched out of his peripherals and she peeled her blue eyes from his way. Noct let out an unconsciously held breath. "Does this class bore you, Mr. Caelum?"

"What- oh! No, ma'am!" He quickly answered. The bell rang and students rushed to lunch. Lightning grabbed her bag and quickly left to get to her corner of the field where she could be left to think. Talk about needing a cold shower. Noctis tried to catch up with the girl but was separated by the mass of students walking through the hallways.

The pinkette used her bag as a pillow and sat under the tree, its leafs falling in the very slight breeze. Her hands were shoved into the pockets if her jacket and she tried to shove her uncomfortable thoughts about Caelum's stupid lips.

"Hey." She opened one eye to see JUST the person she want to. "Nice spot you got here."

"Mmmm hmm."

"Sooooo, can a sit?"

"Sure." She went back to closing her eyes.

"Any reason you were staring at me in class...again?" Her body briefly tensed. Shit, he's notice this while time?!

The pinkette kept her cool despite this, "You had something on your face." Yeah, and she wanted to kiss them.

"Is it gone?" She opened her eyes.

"Mmmm hmm." Ha, not even close. Closed them once more.

Noctis toyed with a leaf on the ground. And then looked at the pinkette next to him. His eyes wandered to what he thought was her best feature. Her soft, pink lips.

It was quiet for a while until she heard rustling and Lightning just assumed he was leaving. She was sadly mistaken and felt a feather soft touch brush against her lips. Her blue eyes fluttered open to see Noctis's closed ones and he was kissing her. And she wasn't going to fight that.

Her cheeks burned bright red when he pulled away sadly. He looked deep in thought. "Hmmm, mint?"

She gave him a look, "I use cherry." Then she licked her lips. Cherry...and mint.

One more doesn't hurt any of us. Aren't we all happy that Kayleen has summer vacation?
