A second meeting.
A flash of emerald with tears glistening at the edge of it
scrapped tan hands grabbing mine, almost reverently, trembling ever so lightly
"—sorry—-Splen—-i didn—-Fliq—-Dont!—NOOOO!"
The emerald melt becoming lighter and lighter like paint becoming diluted with water before it shone brighter, more intense gold. Normally smiling mouth turn down into an angry snarl, previously pliant and gentle demeanour change as if becoming an entirely different person, becoming someone more dangerous, someone more…
Terrifying
With a choked gasp, Splendid immediately sprung upright into a sitting position. Shocked awake at the intensity of his dreams or more appropriately nightmare. Is it a nightmare though… His heart beats as fast as a drumroll and his breath was short but loud. His heart pumping his blood too fast for his lungs to focus on keeping his breathing steady. But despite the loudly pumping heart and the fact that he is still gasping for air, he can't really say that he is scared. Well, that's not true… he is scared but not for himself, rather he is scared for someone else. For someone with bright green eyes and ever smiling face. A person's image appeared in his mind. Yeah someone just like Flip-py…
'Eh, did i just dream about Flippy..?' the feeling of drowning and a hand grabbing his to pull him out appears, 'just like yesterday.' With a groan, the blue haired boy slumped back down into his bed. Without him noticing it,his breathing had calmed down right after he thought about the green haired boy who he had just met yesterday. He did just met him yesterday right? He didn't remember meeting him before. He would have remembered meeting someone that handso- er.… someone that… obviously strange before. Seriously who wear a military uniform to school?
His face flushed red again, and not from lack of breath this time and he quickly grabbed his pillow and tried to smother the redness on his cheeks out with it.
"You know Splendid, someone is trying to sleep here." a voice suddenly appeared. With a surprised squeak, Splendid jumped out of his bed, knocking his head on his lamp desk before crashing on to his floor with a resounding thwack. A muffled snort can be heard from the doorway where a red haired boy with a face similar to the boy currently rubbing his aching head was currently leaning on.
"As impressive (and hilarious) as that is, do you know what time it is?"
"ugh," while still laying on he floor, Splendid tilt his head up and tried to correctly interpret the upside down number flashing on his digital clock. "uhm… 4 am? wait that's so early!" his pain forgotten, the blunette jumped into a sitting position and grabbed the clock of the stand and stared at the glowing number proclaiming '04:00' in front of him.
"You tell me." The other scoffed. "Go to sleep 'Deed. It's Saturday and i really dont want to be woken up this freaking early." With a last wave his figure disappeared from the still open doorway. Splendid scrunched up his eyes and groaned before lazily dragging his body up the bed.
"Before i leave though, remember that 'thing' you did yesterday with the water and all. Since you did make such lovely egg for me yesterday i decided to be nice to you and have you do the grocery shopping tomorrow instead of what i originally planned to do." with a smirk, the red head left but not before he gave a final wave and a last remark, "Don't wake me up before noon tomorrow".
With that final words, the only thing Splendid could do was whimper pathetically.

next day
With his red headphones on his ears, music blasted at full volume loud enough so that anyone who walked past him could actually listen to the lyrics of the songs, and hands laden with bags of groceries, it's probably no surprise that he would eventually bump into someone sooner or later. When that someone happen to be the military uniform clad, green haired boy who had been plaguing his mind as of late- well then you get a tomato red Splendid.
"Damn….sorry about that.." The green haired teen said, standing up and dusting himself off as he held out his hand for the other to take, a small smile playing at his lips."Guess I wasnt paying much attention to where I was going."
"No, No- it's fine. The fault is on me really, i wasn't watching where i was going either." waving the others apology away, Splendid grabbed the offered hand, ignoring the warm feeling spreading throughout his body when he noticed how seemingly perfect their hands seems to fit together. Unconsciously, his thumb started moving, rubbing the skin of the other's hands like a habit from long forgotten memory. 'ah, it's as rough as always, warm and gentle you would never have guessed that it's a hand of a ki-'
"Are you alright?"Flippy asked, a slightly concerned look showing in his eyes. He pulled his hand back before using the same hand to tilt up the other's chin in order to get a better look at the other's face. His green eyes flashed a slight shade of gold as he smiled softly leaning close to the other until they were merely an inch apart."It doesnt look like anything is wrong…"He said as he moved back from the bluenette.
Splendid face was beet red. Due to their previous closeness, he noticed a few things about Flippy that he didn't really take notice of before, mainly that Flippy smelt really really nice and his eyes are a really incredible shade of green and in a different light it seems to shine bright yellow instead- .
fear filled green eyes that slowly brighten until it become a murderous yellow shade-
"Hey" Flippy said as he notice the other spacing out once more. "I need to get going... some important things to do...but"He lifted up the other's hand and leaned down placing a light kiss to the back of it once again before slowly placing it down. He looked back up at Splendid's face, a somewhat reminiscent smile playing at his lips"It was good talking with you again...see you in class monday." With that said he turned his back with a wave walking off.
Staring at slowly disappearing figure of his classmates, the bluenette sighed. He really blushed too much today. Is there a limit to how much a person can blush in a day? As if preserving the memory of the kiss, the bluenette used his other hands to hide his red face. Suddenly, a ringtone broke through his silent reverie. Blinking, he quickly snatched his phone to answer it as he only set that particular ringtone for his brother.
"Hey Don" he murmured.
"Don't hey me. How long does it took for you to buy groceries and come back here anyway? I haven't eaten breakfast yet and i'm hungry."
'Grocery?' with that thought he immediately remembered what happened that lead to his impromptu meeting with Flippy. "SHIT!" Looking down, he watched at the previously completely forgotten mess of groceries on the floor. Sighing again, this time in despair. He replied his brother with a simple. " Probably another hour… or so"
On the other line Splendont let out an irritated growl"Fine but you're cooking tonight so hurry up."With that said he hung up the phone leaving a still somewhat flustered Splendid on the other line.
"Better hurry then…"He said as he ran off back to the store not noticing a figure watching from the shadows.
