Stolen kisses

It's getting warm all of a sudden.A wave of panic struck you like lightening on a fine evening. You assumed that you're late for school. "where's my phone" you gasp without thinking. Fliping the covers over and searching blindly in the pitch-black room. Your brain is all fogged up, soft as cheese perhaps, you can't comprehend your environment. It's as if your chest is flaming like some Greek fire. You pierce your nails into the mattress beneath you. Calming your heavy breathing, you gather all your scattered thoughts. It finally stricks you that your phone is on the bedside table. You reach out your hand and grab your phone like your life depends on it. It's 5 am on the screen. "oh I'm not late" you let out a breath of relief. You laid on your side with your eyes shut pretending to be asleep. You turn and roll around searching for a comfortable position to fall asleep. You try your best to not pay attention to anything but the ticking of the clock had fun tormenting you. You gave in and accepted defeat, there's no way for you to fall back to slumber. You stretch out your arms and leg and sat on the edge of your bed staring into nothingness.

You reached school too early. There was not a single soul around. You put on your headphones and turn the volume up. You dance your way to your class room like a main lead in a rom-com. Flipping and tossing your hair, singing along (off key ofcourse). You slide into your classroom as if the floor was made of ice, only to find Akashi sitting at his desk. He was watching you even before you stepped in, through the window on the side of the corridor.

Embarrassment took over as always. Your face turned red like a clown. Why do I do this to myself you asked yourself. You hoped to disappear into thin air right then and there. He was wearing a sharp grin on his face. You head straight to your seat with an expressionless face pretending as if nothing happened. You sit on your chair, music still blasting in your ears but the vibe is dead.

"You'll go deaf if you listen to music this loud" he said turning to face you, "and you're a good dancer"
"What?" you asked acting dumb. "You're a good dancer" he repeated. "Well I don't dance never did what are you talking about" you defended.
"Then what was that just now" he argued.
"That was nothing"
"Nothing? Really?" He lowered his head to your level and looked straight into your eyes. His eyes were hauntingly beautiful, they were piercing your soul.

He moved slowly and closed in the distance between two of you until his face was just three fingers away from yours. Regardless of being tempted you didn't moved an inch. You thought he was a butterfly and if you moved too much, it would frighten him and he'd fly away. The smell of mint in his warm breaths stained your skin. Your stern face turned into a soft smile which is often seen on the face of lovers when they know that this moment will fade before they could even fully live in it. His sunlit face was so gorgeous. His bewitching red eyes, his soft features, red hair everything about him was mesmerizing. Neither of you looked away. He looks at your lip then into your eyes, his palms were resting on your desk. His index finger reaching out towards yours.
"Are we having a staring contest?" you finally asked, ruining things that could've warm three winters.

He lets out a halfhearted laugh and says "No, I'm just... I was.. ahh", he let's  out a sign and backs off,  putting one hand behind his neck he proceeds "for- ugh never mind, why are you here so early?"

"I could ask you the same thing" you replied chewing your chapped lips.

"I'm here for club practice."

"I woke up early so I came to school early" you pouted.

"ah and here I was thinking you came to watch me practice"

"In your dreams Loverboy" you chuckled placing one hand under your chin.

That's when his teammates came in and interrupted the conversation.

"let's go we got the gym keys," said the blond one, you don't remember his name but you know he's that third-year Kim's boyfriend.

"Did we just cockblocked you, captain?" he smirked looking at you. His other teammates started laughing and hooting "burnnnn".

"get out, I'll be right there" Akashi casually dismissed them. He apologized to you on their behalf and left.

You widened your eyes at the thought of what happened just now and could've happened if you didn't run your stupid mouth like always.

Akashi almost reached the staircase then turned around and jogged back into the classroom.

"I forgot something" he whisper under his breath as he entered the room.
"Oh" you thought you owed him a reply but didn't quite know what to say. 
He came straight your way and cupped your face with both his hands before you know it he has already pressed his lips gently onto yours. Your heart skipped a beat. You could feel the heat trasmit from his face to yours. His long lashes fluttered next to your skin. He pulled away rather quickly and left without saying another word.

You were stunned. You didn't want him to pull away so quickly. Everytime you remember his touch you started smiling like a dork with your face tinted crimson. You wanted to yell out of joy. It felt like your soul melted away, you couldn't wait to see him again.
