THREE WEEKS LATER
-Fayre-
"Hey Fay."
Kiyomi said as she walked into the house.
"Kiyomi! What brings you here? Did your mission go well?"
I asked as I ran over to my best friend and gave her a hug.
"I came to see you and yes my mission went fine."
She said as I stepped back.
"Good. Come on, you're joining us for breakfast."
I said as I grabbed her hand.
"I don't know…."
She said and I pouted.
"Aww come on. Kankuro will be there."
I said and smiled at my friend when I saw the blush rise to her cheeks. Her and Kankuro obviously liked each other, but both were too scared to make the first move. Temari has tried to help Kankuro and I've been trying to help Kiyomi, but so far we haven't had any luck. Gaara thinks we're insane and should just let things happen naturally, but that's boring. I wanted those two together, it was right having them be single. I mean, I have Gaara, Temari has Shikimaru, Naruto has Hinata, Sakura has Kiba, Tenten has Neji. Hell, even Ino found love with Lee. So it seemed only fair that those two get together.
"O-Okay."
She said after a while and I smiled at her as I pulled her over to the kitchen table. I had her sit next to Kankuro's seat then set the table. I called up the stairs that breakfast was ready and took my seat next to Gaara's.
Temari came down first, followed by Gaara, then Kankuro. Temari and Gaara quickly took their seats, leaving Kankuro to have to sit next to Kiyomi. I noticed the blush on his face as he sat down. Kiyomi's face was just as red. I rolled my eyes at them before telling everyone to help themselves. Kankuro reached for a piece of bread at the same time Kiyomi did and they both froze and blushed when their hands touched.
"You take it."
Kankuro said, but Kiyomi shook her head.
"N-No, you go ahead."
She said and I wanted to bang my head on the table. It was so obvious!
After breakfast I volunteered Kiyomi to help Kankuro with the dishes since it was his turn. Hopefully if those two were left alone one of them would manage to make the first move. I watched them silently do dishes from the doorway and growled.
'Time to make things interesting.'
I thought as Kiyomi went to put a plate away. I used my sand and wrapped it around her feet, making her loose her balance and start to fall.
-Kiyomi-
I know that Fayre volunteered me to help Lord Kankuro with dishes because she was trying to help me, but I was too afraid to tell him how I felt out of fear that he'd reject me. I took the plate Lord Kankuro handed me and blushed when our hands touched again and I almost dropped the plate he was handing me.
'Get a hold of yourself Kiyomi!'
I snapped at myself as I moved to put the plate away. I suddenly felt something around my feet and lost my balance. I squealed as I started to fall. I closed my eyes expecting to feel the floor beneath me, but when it never came I opened my eyes to see Lord Kankuro had his arms around my waist and had caught me at the last minute. I blushed as I realized how intimately he was holding me and how close our faces were. He looked into my eyes and blushed before he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. I gasped in surprised and felt his tongue slide past my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.
-Fayre-
"Finally!"
I yelled, but quickly clamped my hands over my mouth and retreated into the living room where Temari and Gaara were watching a movie.
"What?"
Temari asked curiously and I just smiled as I sat down next to Gaara.
"It finally happened."
I said and Temari squealed with joy.
"About time."
She said and I laughed a bit.
"You're telling me, but all they needed was a little push."
I said with a triumphant smile which earned me a 'what did you do' look from Gaara, but I just shook my head at him. It didn't matter how it happened, all that mattered was that it did.
