No, Alice does not seem like the flirty type to me.

But it seemed to work for this chapter, so just read it, okay? :P


winning; n. the act of one that wins; victory


Alice was flirting with him; and she was winning. Occasionally, she would glance in his direction and flash one of her warm smiles. Every time he heard one of her bright wind-chime laughs, something resonated deep in his heart. Whenever she gave a flick of her bouncy orange curls, he knew that he couldn't fight it any longer.

He was supposed to be the lone wolf; the cool, calm collected person who always stood off to the side. But somehow, whenever he was around Alice that seemed to change. He tried to keep up his cold demeanour, but Alice always found a way to break through that icy barrier of his.

He had to admit, the Russian girl was very pretty, but he would never have guessed that he would be the one to fall for her; he was still trying to deny it himself.

For a while, he remained distant towards her in the hope that he would eventually get over this 'crush' of his. But Alice wasn't going to let him go without a fight; that was when the smiling and hair-flicking started.

It was then that he knew that he couldn't contain his growing feelings for her any longer. So the next time Alice smiled at him, he smiled back at her; much to her surprise, but that only made her smile grow even wider.

Shun Kazami was used to winning; but perhaps this was one fight that he wouldn't mind losing.


X is for X-Ray. Hopefully I'll be able to write that one well!
