Sure, hugs were nice.Warm, too.
Rey had always been far warmer dan others.
He didn't wnt sumthing nyc.
Rey didn't wnt a meager hug ,
he wntd a kiss.
"U're mad at me."
Rey twitchd, ignoring de warm presence of de petite brunette beside him & continued sky-gazing.It wz a relatively bright aftanun, de skul grounds marred wid students as de sun beat down on deir backs.De heat pierced through layers of clothing & de little wind in de air didn't mke much of a difference to help cool off de students of XYZ Academy.
He closd his eyes briefly, relishing de shade of de large Sakura tree dat he'd becum strangely attached to.Rey didn't knw Y he held de tree under such high esteem.It wz lyk ny other tree, really. Thick trunk, long branches & bright pink cherry blossoms littered de entirety of de thng but yet, sumthng abt it seemed to stand out to him.
Sumthng dat mde de tree seem jz dat much more special. He cudn't quite put a finger on it.
"Tell me Y u're mad @ me, Rey ."
He grunted, his gaze drifting back to de open manga in his lap. Rey had tried not to brood over it. He tried not to think abt hw a stupid high skul student had de nerve to tke advantage of his fav underwear patterned idiot.
He tried, he really did, bt Rey found dat his mind kpt coming up wid elaborate schemes to kill a certain Shivam afta de little stunt he pulled dat mring. Dere were 2 main ways dat he'd been planning to get rid of him. Dere were subtle ways, lyk a l8 ni8 escapade, happeningto cum by de unfortunate boy in a vry ugly situation. Nd den dere were vry obvious ways, lyk burning him lyk a strip of bacon & den drop-kicking him off a cliff. Bystanders? Who cared! As long as he got de deed wz done, he didn't care who happend to be watching.Rey smirkd triumphantly @ his thoughts.
"C'mon, Rey ," she prodded, sidling up closer to him on de branch. She frownd, her delicious brown eyes narrowd & it wz surprisingly difficult for him, Rey found to ignore de luk of confusion on her face.
"R u mad at me?"
Feigning nt to hv heard, Rey traind his eyes once agn to de manga in his lap, pretending to be engrossed in de drawings & de graphic scenes of battle. Everybit of his being wz successfully ignoring de brunette in front of him.
Puffing out her cheeks in frustration, Taani dangled her feet in annoyance, enjoying de free movement & de height she'd managed to climb. Straddling de branch wid her thighs, Taani carefully dislodged one hand frm de branch &pokd him in de shoe.
"I wnt an answer frm u damn it "she commanded seriously, only successfully luking adorable.
His eyebrows liftd questionably bt his eyes remaind glued to de same page he'd been 'reading' for de past 6 minutes. Wid his peripheral vision, Rey darted a glance @ her facial features dat wz set into an adorable scowl.
Biting de tip of his tongue, Rey kpt up his impassive expression & continued to dodge her anxious glances. In a last ditch attempt, Taani wrapped her legs around de branch, putting both hands on de branch btwn dem & leaned into his frm until their faces were merely a few centimeters apart.
"Rey "she sang carefully, eyes smyling 1ce he lukd up to face her.
Rey bit de inside of his cheek & forced down de heat dat crept slowly up to his cheeks.He glimpsd de flawless porcelain of her skin & lukd blandly into her gentle, determined brown eyes, a glare of displeasure on his face.
Much to Rey's dismay, she leand back triumphantly, her legs still hugging de branch as if her lyf depended on it. Biting her lips, Taani liftd her eyes reluctantly & tiltd her head to de side, "Rey r u mad at me?"
He gruntd, momentarily speechless at de sound of her voice.
She bit her lip once more, furrowing her eyebrows & askd slowly, "R u mad bcz I kissd shivam on de cheek?"
He scoffed almost immediately, turning his head away & nt even trying to hide de frown frm his face.
Ol he did was get a stupid squirrel stuck in a hole & de idiot kisses him on de cheek while I save her but frm stalkers & evrythng & I don't get a damn thng "
Rey ," she sighed softly, "I don't understand u at ol!" She poutd, crossing her arms over her chest, a concernd line where her smyl wz supposd to be.
Rey bristld, "I nvr expectd u to."
She shiftd uncomfortably on de branch & murmured, Aashi said... she said u were jealous. She said u were jealous bz I nvr kiss u on de cheek wen u help me an""
He scowled instantly, briefly thinking dat she hung out wid Rohan too often. "Ur devil-incarnate of a best friend is wrong," he muttered, scowling & turning his head to de side.
Taani huffed in offence.
She folded her hands in her lap, fidgeting b4 she slammd her small hands against de branch's surface,
"Ok, Rey," she said wid determination.
"B-but.. since u're always saving me"uh"thanks okay?" she sputterd, quietly moving over to place a chaste kiss to his cheek.
Rey blinkd, evading de kiss at de last 2nd so dat her lips met humid air. De luk on her face was of utter confusion as she furrowd her brows & bit her lip, tilting her head to de side wid a ques dancing in her eyes.
Rey ,acting lyk she hadn't tried to jz kiss him, remaind impassive.
"I want a kiss," he mutterd bluntly, luking her in de eye.
"I wz jz going to gve u one"
He rolld his eyes,
"Not a kiss on de cheek," he said snidely.
"A kiss on de cheek isn't a thank u. A real kiss is de right way to thank," he said nonchalantly.
"O-on de lips?"she stutterd, horrified. Her cheeks startd flaming red & he met her eyes intensely until it lukd lyk his eyes were smothering,
"Yeah."
He shruggd at her startld expression,
"I don't see wot de big deal is.He saves a squirrel, a kiss on de cheek.I save ur lyf,I get a kiss on de lips," he replied simply, widout tearing his eyes away frm her expression.
She gulpd apprehensively & her heartbeat quickend to an unhealthy pace.
"Uh"o-okay."
She inchd closer to him as he leand idly against de trunk of de Sakura tree. She didn't knw hw to go about it. Even though he'd kissed her b4 wen dey were little, dat wz a gud 4 yrs ago. She wz fourteen now & she still felt butterflies wen she wz close to him.
Taani lukd dwn in embarrassment & Rey, being de impatient one he wz, let his precious manga fall to his side as he liftd her chin up wid 2 fingers, luking into her eyes.
Surprised, she squeakd, "Rey.?"
He liftd an eyebrow as she stared at him, taking a gulp of air b4 swallowing hard.
It's now or nvr.
Taani quickly closd de distance btwn deir lips & wz instantly greetd wid gentle warmth, vich surprisd her. She trid to pull back, intending to gve him a chaste, quick kiss bt de firm hand on de back of her head kept her dere as she felt his lips start to stroke hers.
It wz hard not to kiss him back. He was urging her to respond & she cudn't pass up de chance. She wz surprisd to realize dat by de tym she closd her eyes, she cud feelmore.He was soft nd tender, kissing her so softly as though he wz scard dat she wz going to break if he held her too close or kissd her too hard. De thought mde her fingers tremble.
Heat slowly crept up her cheeks as a few mre moments passd & Rey finally let go.
A smirk mde its way to his lips & she watchd horrified at de devious luk on his face.
"U sud thank me lyk dis more often," he smirkd coolly, a faint tint of pink on his cheeks.
Rey cudn't help feeling cool in dat moment. He didn't quite feel giddy or excited. he jz felt..cool.
"Rey, u" she hissd, mortified @ de reality of de moment. She quickly got to her feet, startled, momentarily forgetting she wz sitting on abranch.Her foot slid off de smooth roundness of it & desperately reachd out. She closd her eyes & wz barely aware of de fact dat Rey had managd to slide his hand into hers, pulling her up.
"Idiot," he murmurd affectionately, smirking.
She trembld on his lap & her eyes widend wid worry as she clutchd onto de front of his shirt, still trying to calm de triple fast heart dance dat her heart wz currently doing. Whether it wz frm de fall or being dis close to him, she cudn't say.
He wrappd a lazy arm around her waist & pressd de small of her back b4 she lukd up wid surprise.
Grinning lyk a maniac, Rey murmurd, "I think u need thnk me agn 4 saving ur lyf...
