Standing out on the balcony, Haruka sighed. So much had happened, and it seemed to just keep piling up. She she frowned when she thought about how she had accidently kissed Masato. She felt bad about it. It was probably his first kiss, and she had taken it from him. She sighed when she recalled when she had gotten an indirect kiss from Otoya. It wasn't as bad then. At least it wasn't on the lips, so she knew nothing would get awkward between them. Her spirits lifted when she thought about them and a smile found it's way to her lips. She bit her bip when she recalled how Syo accidently kissed her, by tripping. And on top of that, Ai saw! Syo would get in so much trouble! She told her how hard and strict the schedule Ai gave him was, so he was bound to get stuck with some hard punishment! And, on top of that, Ren had just kissed her purposely! The others at least didn't mean to kiss her! She knew he liked her, it wasn't his first attempt to kiss her, but she never thought that he would actually do it. Her face blasted with red and she shook her head, trying to forget about the entire ordeal.
She leaned on the white railing, and took a deep breath in, taking in the clean, fresh air. She let a smile brush her lips momentarily, enjoying the gentle feeling the night gave her. She opened her eyes and looked up at the clouds that covered the sky, hiding almost all the stars. The moon peaked out momentarily, it's full light shining on her for a second. The clouds had become darker since she had arrived at the party and now it seemed as though they may just have rain tonight. Haruka frowned. Ren would ruin the Christmas party, and with it being so we, it would be a moapy and depressing Christmas tomorow.
Haruka looked up, afraid she may get caught in the cold, upcoming rain. But she relaxed when she took in her surrounding. The balcony was half covered with a roof, allowing for some shelter if it did rain, so cover would be at her finger tip. Haruka's relief only lasted a moment when she suddenly felt a chill go up her spine, causing goosebumps to raise on her arms. She brought her hands up, rubbing her arms to warm them. It was cold, but something else was bothering her. She didn't quite understand why, but there was a strange hovering feeling, it felt as if someone or something was watching her?
She looked around confused. She could swear she felt someone's presents. Perhaps ne of the boys were here to apologize for kissing her? Or maybe another had come to take their turn at her lips. She blushed momentarily and shook her head. Who else has confessed to her in one way or another. She turned around in time to see a waiter standing behind her with a tray, containing some water on it.
"Excuse me, miss, would you like a drink?" He asked, smiling kindly, his haired comed and crisp and his posture perfect.
"Oh, yes, please." Haruka said kindly, smiling brightly at the kind waiter that worked so hard. She reached for a glass and the waiter moved, bending down to make it easier for her to take one. Haruka took a glass of water from his tray and holding it between her small, hands. The man gave her a small smile, bowing to her.
"Have a good evening." He said, turning away rom her and briskly leaving. Harika smiled and sipped at the water peacefully, a smile dotting her face. She felt a chill from the cold water and looked up again, to check the clouds once more. Suddenly, she jumped up, squeaking. The water spilled all over the floor, flying out of the glass. And why did she jump, you ask? Because there was a tan skinned boy with black hair watching her from the roof. He was dressed in a white tux with some kind of exotic flower sticking out of his pocket. He was sitting up, his right leg propped up. His hands were folded on his knee and his chin was resting on top them. Noticing her stare, he smiled, jumping down to her with grace and skill, landing perfectly in a kneeling position. He looked up at her with a smile, standing up.
"Hello, My Princes." He greeted, smiling his princely smile.
"Cecil-san!" Haruka cried, shocked to see him. What was he doing up there? Surely there were so many better places to be at the time, wasn't there? Haruka stiffened, gulping. Oh man, if the other guys kissed her by accident, this one wouldn't be so accidental.
"Haruka, you look stunning tonight." Cecil complimented, getting on one knee, kissing her hand. Haruka blushed when she felt his lips make contact with her hand gently. His hand took hers gently, warming her chilled hand from holding her cold water. She placed the now empty glass on the railing to prevent an accident.
"A-arigato." Haruka thanked, trying to pull her hand away. Cecil caught it again, pulling it closer to him.
"Truly stunning, your beauty matches-no exceeds the Muse herself." Cecil said, eyes half open. He caressed her hand, running his fingers across it. Haruka shivered, his delegate fingers brushing her skin coming as a surprise to her. Suddenly Cecil's attention was focused elsewhere, behind Haruka, with great interest, confusion, and curiosity. Looking behind her, Haruka saw a white blob slowly drift towards the ground. It landed, melting immediately and was followed by others just like it, yet difference.
"Oh wow, it's snowing!" Haruka cried, jumping up like a child and looking out over the balcony, leaning out to the snow. A white Christmas!
"Snow? What's that?" Cecil asked benevolently, catching a white flake in his hand, he stared at it with interest, looking at it's tiny, crystal shape.
"Oh, thats right, it doesn't snow in the desert, so you wouldn't know about it." Haruka giggled.
"It's cold!" Cecil said in amazement, a smile brushing his cheeks, letting out a white puff of air, which he found just as interesting. He caught a few more flakes, smiling at them. Haruka giggled quietly, enjoying Cecil's childish notions, like always. If he had lighter skin, she might mistake him for Otoya's younger brother or something.
"Yeah, thats why when kids play in it, they bundle up in warm cloths. Its basicly frozen water." Haruka explained to Cecil, smiling. He froze (A/N: Haha, snow joke) and looked in his hand as the snow melted into water.
"W-WATER!" Cecil suddenly cried, jumping under the shelter and freaking out in the corner, sliding down to the ground, shivering.
"Oh, thats right, you're afraid of water." Haruka frowned, staring at Cecil's frozen figure. She felt bad for him and for forgetting that he was afraid of water.
She began to walk over to him, to comfort him. But, suddenly, her foot landed on a slippering puddle of ice that use to be her water. She felt herself lose balance and start to fall forward. She braced for impact, getting ready to hit the ground hard, but strangely the ground was a lot softer than she expected...and warmer. She stiffened, knowing exactly what she had landed on. She looked up to come face to face with none other than Cecil. She had fallen... on him.
"C-cecil-san! G-gomenasai-" She started, beginning to push herself up with her hands, but was forced back down. Cecil's long, warm arms wrapped around her cold torso, holding her gently.
"No- it's okay." He smiled, pulling her close. Haruka's heart beat fast as she felt his comforting warmth seep into her skin and her cheeks light up. N-no, he wasn't! He wouldn't!...Would he? "Haruka..." Cupping her cheek, he pulled her face up, forcing her to look at him. He stared down into her golden eyes, his green eyes shining with love. He pulled her down to him and brushed their lips together. Haruka blushed excessively staring wide eyed at Cecil. He did it! He really kissed her! He pulled her close, wrapping his arm around her waist while he slid his fingers through her hair. The cold snow seemed to melt momentarily, the air warm and filled with long desired love.
Finally, gathering her sents, she pushed off of him. Making a break for the dance room, she moved to get away, afraid of messing up her relationship with Cecil. Suddenly, his arm shot out, grabbing her wrist just in time, desperately holding onto her. He shot, wrapping and arm around her again and pushing her back. He pulled her against the wall, kissing her again, cupping her cheek with one hand and the other sliding down to her hip.
Suddenly, Cecil yelped, slipping on the ice, falling backwords backwards. He landed on his butt, hissing in pain from the impact on the ground.
Seeing her chance to get away, she made a break for the door and escaped through the crowd of people, leaving Cecil, watching her leave, a sad look in his eyes and heart breaking in his chest. He covered his face in disgust.
"I messed up." He whispered harshly to himself, no longer bother by the snow.
