A/N: Finished my CBA final project early and got bored.
Disclaimer: Not mine; never will be.
Pairing: Mai and Naru
Theme: Talents
-
Her many talents always surprise me. She has prophetic dreams. She sees my brother. She's so incredibly naïve.
"Hey, Naru! Guess what I heard!"
She's so happy. She's so caring.
"My friend told me that if you could tie a cherry stem in your mouth, you're supposed to be a good kisser."
She'll believe anything you tell her. She brings out the possessive side of me. A side I've always tried to keep dormant.
"I'm going to try it!" Mai held up a bag of cherries and pulled one from it and stuck it into her mouth. She spit out the pit and swallowed the flesh. She popped the stem into her pink-stained mouth. Her face contorted into various expressions, each one more silly than the last.
I stared at her, trying to stay expressionless. Her adorable face fell as she stuck out her tongue with the stem still straight.
"Here." I took a cherry and repeated her actions. I opened my mouth and used my fingers to take the stem out. It had a neat knot in the middle and Mai gasped.
"How did you do that?!" She took the stem and glared at it before eating another cherry.
"It's simple. You just tie it." I replied, trying to spark her anger. I succeeded as she glared at me and turned away from me quickly.
"It's harder than it looks. Anyway, I suppose that means that you're a good kisser and I'm not."
She may have many undiscovered talents…
"Wha!" Mai felt herself being pulled into an embrace.
… while trying a cherry stem may not be one…
"N-Naru!" She started to exclaim but a pair of cherry-tasting lips covered hers.
… kissing defiantly is.
