We both rushed at each other, swords in hand. We clashed, metal clanging upon metal as we fought. Soon, we ended up in a standstill, blades crossed.

"You're good." I said, panting a bit.
"You're better." He replied, showing only a hint of exhaustion. Is he flirting with me? I thought. We pushed apart, fighting again until I got the upper hand, knocking his sword from his hand and also cutting into it. He grunted, falling back and clutching his arm. I dropped my sword and moved up to him as he winced behind his mask.

"Let me see." I said gently, taking his hand. "Right through the bandages. Great." He made a small noise as I checked the wound, then pulled out some salve and bandages from a first aid kit nearby. I patched up the wound, and rebandaged it. "There." I said. He opened and closed his hand to check. "Thank you. I appreciate the help." He purred. "No problem." I grinned and went over to another bag I had nearby; which had a change of clothes in it. I pulled off my shirt, which was covered in sweat, and placed it nearby, pulling another out of the bag.

"It's rude to stare," I said over my shoulder to Kiyo, who I knew was looking at me. "I apologize. I didn't know what you were doing." He said. I smiled and slipped the second shirt over my head. "I think that's a half-assed excuse, if you don't mind." I smirked. "Really? Then allow me to test that theory." He retorted.  He swung at me, which I dodged, then pushed him away with a palm strike. I laughed. "This is way too easy, dammit." I said. "Fine." His voice rung out softly, as he reached up towards his mask and, to my surprise, pulled it off.

His face seemed to be both handsome and beautiful, his pale skin bright even in the daylight. "I don't usually do this, but I trust you." He said, his voice softer than ever. "You-you can." I stammered. "Trust me, that is." He looked up at me and snorted. "It's rude to stare." He said in a mocking tone. I let out a small chuckle. "Don't worry. I'm not going to tell anyone what you look like." I said. He nodded.  "That would be in your best interest." He said.

He took a step towards me. Then another. Then another. "K-Kiyo? You okay?" I asked. "Why yes, I am. " he was smiling now, showing perfect white teeth, as he gave me a small grin. He then moved forward with surprising speed, grabbing my arm and pulling me close, and then kissed me. I almost jumped out of my skin at that point, but then relaxed into him. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I pushed back, enjoying the feeling. Suddenly, we broke apart, with him looking worried, and me a furious shade of red. "God, that felt-that felt good." I stammered, looking back at him. He pushed himself away from me though, looking at me as if something had happened to me.

"I-I-I apologize." He said, putting his mask back on. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry if-if that was unwanted." "No! No no no. It was fine." I said, trying to console him. "It wasn't. I'm sorry." He said quickly packing up his things and starting to head towards the door. "Kiyo. Wait!" I called after him, knowing it would be useless to chase him down. I heard the door close, and I knew I was now alone. I groaned and buried my head in my hands, then got up and put the swords away. What the hell is wrong with me? I knew it was my fault. I knew it. I silently berated myself for what just happened, then went upstairs to take a shower. I sighed as the water washed over me, thinking about what was happening, feeling the kiss happen over and over in my head.

Why did he do that? And why did I enjoy it so much? Am I sick in the head or something? I thought. Tomorrow I'll talk to him. I went downstairs and made some dinner, a frozen pizza. After dinner, I changes into my pajamas and climbed into my bed. Tomorrow. I told myself before deciding off to sleep.
