Chapter Two: Sealed with a Kiss
"You look beautiful tonight." Although Shin kept his face emotionless, he couldn't hide the hint of pink on his cheeks and his ears.
You just stood there, wide-eyed. You couldn't believe the almighty Shin Seijuro had said that!
You stuttered for a moment, then finally got the voice to say, "Thanks." You could tell that you were turning crimson.
Shin held out his arm. You gracefully took it. How could this be happening? You only dreamt about this once. And now, Shin is here with you in a white tux!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The night dragged on. You danced with a lot of guys: Kaitani Riku, Sena, The Kid, Haruto Sakuraba, Akaba Hayato, Shun Kakei, Kurita, Musashi. . . even Hiruma! The best part is you didn't step on a single foot tonight.
But, your escort has only been sitting there sternly. He hasn't even danced with anyone yet-- not Wakana, or Mamori or Suzuna, not even you.
You heaved a sigh.
"May I dance with you?" the tall kicker of Bando spiders, Kotarou, graciously asked. He held out his hand and waited for you to take it.
You looked at Shin, sighed again, and accepted Kotarou's hand.
He took you to the dance floor and led the dance. You followed. It wasn't that long a dance. Suddenly the DJ took the microphone and said, "The last dance of the night is up next."
Last dance? you thought. The dance that was supposed to be very memorable and romantic?
You glance over to Shin.
He's not there. He must've left. You thought.
"Excuse me, may I cut in?"
Kotarou let you go and you were in the arms of another person. Someone so strong, so muscular someone named---
"SHIN-SAN!!" you said aloud. So loudly, in fact, that everyone turned their heads to your direction. With slight embarrassment, you turned to face Shin.
His arms suddenly rested on your waist and he danced (practically carried) with you. You felt so warm inside that you closed your eyes and smiled.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Shin asked sternly.
"Yes, Shin-san. Thank you."
As the song ended, Shin held you by the hand and took you out of the building.
"Shin-san, what are you--" you started but you couldn't finish.
Shin lowered his face and held your face with his large but tender hands. He, then, kissed you gently on the lips--- you FIRST KISS! You involuntarily raised your left leg *pop*-- like in Princess Diaries!
It didn't last for long, the kiss. But when it did, you didn't realize you were crying tears of joy.
"I'm sorry." Shin said comfortingly.
"N-no, Shin-san. . ." You said wiping your tears. "I'm just--really happy." You smiled at him.
"I don't know when this started, but I suddenly started to want you around more. And you were always in my dreams. And whenever you're near, my heart beats faster than normal."
You were speechless.
"I love you." He said while looking at you straight into the eyes.
"Shin. . . I--I love you, too!!" you said.
You kissed once more. After that, you hugged him by the torso.
"Thank you, Shin-san. You've just made this night, the best night of my life."
Yaay!! I'm done!! I know it's a little OverActing and Shin's a little bit OOC.
Anyway, please review!!
Tell me what you think!!
