One evening, Kuu in a towel rushed downstairs, having just had a shower and a spray of cool perfume on him. He shot past Spike, who was relaxed on a soft couch, reading a novel from the bookshop, brought by Kuu this morning.
"Shit, shit, shit. Have you seen my glasses?" Kuu panicked, scanning through clutters on a table.
"No, 'fraid not," Spike said.
"Shit."
Kuu kept searching, with no help from Spike at all. He went from one side of the room to another, rushing in search of that pair of spectacles.
"This happens every time I go to the cinemas," he said. He quickly opened a drawer and rummaged through it. "Average day, my glasses are everywhere –– everywhere I look, glasses. But the moment I need them, they fucking disappear. It's one of real life's cruelties."
Spike chuckled softly. Yeah, he could feel his place. He'd been like that too, only his clothes.
"That's compared to, like, earthquakes in the Far East or testicular cancer?"
Kuu's eyes were wide.
"Oh, shit. Is that the time? I have to go!"
Kuu rushed upstairs, amazingly skipping two steps. After a few minutes, Kuu sprinted downstairs, now fully dressed neatly.
"Thanks for your help on the glasses thing," Kuu said, not meaning it. He quickly threw his black denim jacket, as the other one was with this star, whom he was supposed to meet tonight.
Spike smiled.
"You're welcome," he said sincerely. "Did you find them?"
"Sort of. . ."
That night, inside a cinema, a film 'Superman' flashed on the screen. And there was in the middle of the audience on the second level, Julie.
Gorgeous with her black fitted top beneath Kuu's blue denim jacket and a denim skirt. Her white trainers on. So that no one can immediately recognize her, she let the waves of her beautiful blonde hair down on her shoulders and a white baseball cap. She ate popcorn from a huge container, and right next to her, was Kuu, watching the film keenly while drinking his soda can, through his scuba-diving goggles.
It was only until Julie passed the popcorn to him, that she looked and saw his funny face. The goggles and the cool movie unfolding in front of her didn't go well. Kuu noticed a container passed to him. He looked down and took some popcorn. Then, two popcorns flew towards him. He looked and saw Julie looking at him, laughing silently while holding a can of soda. He teased her, moving the goggles up and down. Julie covered her mouth to stifle her laugh. Kuu pushed the brim of her cap down, covering her head.
The following day, they spent the whole morning at the forest. Nobody was there, so the two lovers lingered beside the river. Julie posed on a tree, looking so pretty on a red bikini under a white shirt with its ends tied around her waist, her skin glowed under the rays of the sun. Her golden hair down and flowing behind her. Kuu just wore his white fitted sleeveless shirt and a brown cargo shorts, taking pictures from his camera.
Julie watched him fixed his camera for a moment. She had to admit that this was her first time to have seen Kuu wore something almost revealing. The fitted white camisole suited his chiseled body. Her eyes could make out soft ripples of his abs. His shoulders were lean, and there were actually gorgeous muscles on the biceps. She continued to eye his broad chest and faking a pose for him, sighed quietly as she lifted her head up, tempting him to stare behind the lens her gorgeous white pillar. How on earth, she wondered, did the gods sent such a man for her?
She kept urging him to move backward to get good batches of perfect angles. He moved back, still holding the camera up. He admired her beauty through the lenses, and thought she was just the most beautiful woman in the world. He flashed pefect shots. She posed and teased him again to keep going. He kept edging backwards, until his feet hit a rock and he landed straight at the river. He cursed at his wet body, and his camera on the rocks, thankfully safe and dry. He looked up to see Julie laughing brightly there. He quickly got up and ran after her, catching her by the waist and they both fell, hitting at the bottom of the waterfall. After a few seconds they were back at the surface, this time with Julie cursing under her breath as she was not yet ready for a bath. Kuu splashed water at her.
They laughed happily and played with water at each other. They played. Then they were back in each other's arms, locked in an embrace and deep kiss against the waterfall.

AN: This is probably the shortest chapter I've ever worked on :D Must have been the time I've spent writing a couple of chapters in one night. I've written five in one go. The moment I was done with this, it was already 3AM. -.- That late and I've got class to teach the next day! lol! I'm still grateful my mind still worked at that hour. But I won't do that again. I deeply regret it :) Thanks for enjoying Fallen! Love you lots! Mwah!
