Disclaimer- Not in a million years.

AN- Apparently, I need a good swift kick in the butt. And my MP3 player and a quiet room to get something accomplished. Hope someone still waiting for an update and I really hope to update more frequently, but with moving in the next few months I don't know how often so please bear with me.

Two: Hot 'n Cold

I kissed a girl and I liked it… I kissed a girl just to try it… It felt so wrong it felt so right.

Tori snarled under her breath and all but ripped her radio out of the wall and chucked it across the room.

"Whoa!" Blake exclaimed, ducking as the radio barely missed his head. He stood with a slight grin on his face.

"Bad day?" He asked his off/on girlfriend.

Bad day was an understatement… Two of her best employees up and quit on her, one to backpack across Europe with her boyfriend, the other to go work at a bigger sporting goods store. Some moron mistook her van for his ex-girlfriends and busted all of the windows. And to top it off, she hadn't talked to Kira in over a week.

… Where did that come from? It wasn't as if--

"… So I was thinking…" Blake was saying as her mind wandered. "I'm in town for a few weeks, why don't we head up to that little B&B that you love and spend a few days there?"

Normally her inner teenager should have been squealing with joy of being alone with Blake, now, all she did was mutter 'whatever' and went back to humming 'Freak You Out'.

She smiled, or tried to. "Um, that sounds great, Blake, but I just can right now with the store and it's just not a good time."

Blake was disappointed but didn't give so easily. "C'mon Tor, the place won't burn down if you're gone for a few days," he reached out to rub her shoulder soothingly but it only grated on her nerves. Did her eye always twitch when he called her 'Tor'?

She shrugged his hand off. "Blake, I just opened a few months ago, if you'd paid just a little attention to what I tell you, you'd realize I don't want my business to fail."

He gave her a wounded puppy look, but she refused to back down. "God, it's no wonder we're stuck, you're too freaking self-absorbed to even notice what's going on! I'm upset and it seems like you can't bother to even notice."

"Who is it?" Blake asked quietly.

"What?"

"The guy you're seeing. Six months ago you wouldn't have been jumping down my throat for nothing."

"Six months ago, I wasn't a second thought to you, every time you leave it's like you completely forget about me, your brother, our friends. Remember them?" Tori could feel energy building in her fingertips, and she dreading explaining to her landlord (again) about another hole in the wall.

"What about you? All I ever hear nowadays is 'blah, blah, Kira this or blah, blah Kira that.' God Tori, if I didn't know better I'd say you're in love with her!"

BOOM!

Twin bright blue bursts of energy shot out of Tori's finger's blowing two baseball sized holes in her floor (was she ever glad she lived on the ground floor).

"Son of a--"

"You love her?"

Tori's eyes widened, meeting Blake's hurt eyes. "I--"

"S'okay, I'm not sure why I'm surprised, I've been a crappy friend lately." He said quietly.

"Blake--"

"Bye Tori." In a flash of navy, Blake was gone.

She wasn't even aware of the tears until Kira picked up the phone.

"Tori? What's wrong?"

"He. Sob. I. Hiccup! I can't… Sniffle. Can I come over?"

"Yes."

Stepping over the holes (screw her landlord; she was overcharged on rent anyway!) Tori was out her door in a flash of blue and landing on Kira's doorstep a few minutes later.

Kira opened the door before she could even knock. Immediately the singer wrapped her arms around the surfer, murmuring words of comfort.

Tori lost track of time as she buried her face into Kira's shoulder, crying what felt like an ocean of tears, she pulled back to look into Kira's eyes. "I--" but was abruptly cut off by Kira's lips pressing onto hers. Moaning softly, Tori wrapped her arms around Kira, oh-so-slightly deepening the kiss…

… Only to break apart when some idiot in a red Mustang honked his horn, catcalling at them; making them realize they were still outside. Both blushing they made their way inside, sitting on her couch, close enough to just barely touch.

"Does Blake know?" Kira asked as she laid her head on Tori's shoulder.

"More or less." Tori said, resting her head on Kira's. "We've been over for awhile now." It didn't hurt as much to say it aloud as she thought it would.

They sat in silence for awhile before Kira wonder aloud.

"Now what?"

AN2- Seriously, if I take too long for someone's liking, feel free to drop a plot bunny, it will help. Drop a review on your way out. No flames please. And if you're a Smallville fan check out my new fic: Mr. & Mrs. Queen. Thanks.
