Mistletoe

Natsuki POV

Yuri's voice was slurring. If it was anyone else I would be scared, but for some reason Yuri made me feel... not scared. I scowled, it had to be Yuri.

"H-hold on," Yuri sighed, as she stood up, "I need to get something. I think you'll like it Suki." She slowly walked out of them room, blushed red from all the wine. 

It took me a while before I realised what she said. "Hey! D-don't call me Suki without my permission!" I yelled after her. I crossed my arms, then uncrossed them. What was Yuri getting? It better not be... I blushed as I thought of all the possible things she could get. She said that I would like it, which really didn't narrow it down. It was probably just a christmas present, I thought as I fiddled with my hair.

Just when I was going to jump up and look for wherever she had gone, she appeared at the doorway. She was holding something behind her back and my heart jumped.

"You took you're time." I grunted, folding my arms again.

"Aww, did you miss me?" She giggled, since when did Yuri giggle? "I got you a present."

She flopped down on the sofa right next to me, the thing still behind her back. She bought her face close to mine, and looked right into my eyes.

"Am I too close?" She asked. She said it softly, or maybe I was just distracted. Her arms which were placed on either side of me were propping her up and her chest was awfully close to mine, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"I- I-" I stuttered like an idiot. She wouldn't be saying this if she was sober! I reminded myself. "N-no I'm not uncomfortable I guess..." I was blushing like crazy and Yuri was still staring at me, unblinking. "Are you going to show me my 'present' now?!" I barked.

Yuri giggled, then hiccuped. She produced a green plant with white berries from behind her back and held it up over our heads with a smile.

"Mistletoe." She whispered.

I swear my soul left my body. I did like Yuri but was this was way to much. But was it? Yuri was gazing at me with those beautiful purple eyes. I knew if I was uncomfortable she would step back. But was I uncomfortable? I covered my face with my hands in embarrasment and groaned. What was happening?! I wanted nothing more to kiss her right then and there, so why couldn't I? What was wrong with me?!

I felt Yuri's weight lift and step back. I peeked through my fingers. Yuri was sitting on the other end of the massive sofa, her hands pressed togeteher, and she looked as though she was about to cry. The mistletoe was thrown to floor. 

Shit.

"Yuri, are- are you ok?" I asked stupidly. Obvously she isn't baka! I thought, and edged up to her awkwardly.

"I'm sorry Natsuki." She muttered. Her eyes flickered to the door, and she sighed slightly, then hiccuped. "I- I had to much to drink. I made you uncomfortable. I-m so sorry." She gulped and her bottom lip wobbled. "I'm going to bed. There's a spare bedroom for you upstairs, first one the left." She stood up, still not looking at me, and walked slowly out of the room. I heard a stifled sob.

Well done Natsuki I told myself. Stupid idiot, I wanted to kiss her godammit! I just chickened out. Now Yuri was upset, and it was all my fault.

But... Yuri only said that because she was drunk. She didn't actually want to kiss me, I was just there to play with. I always got the impression that Yuri didn't like me. She just wanted to kiss someone. But the way she looked at me...

Why was this so confusing?? Did Yuri even like girls? Did I like girls?! I always found them pretty, and I had had crushes on female anime characters, not male ones. But I alway's thought that didn't count - they were anime girls not real people. Yeah, I never had a crush on a guy, but I got used to thinking I would just find someone one day. That's what everyone said didn't they? But I was 17 and I still hadn't found someone. Or had I?

One way to find out I guess. I picked up the mistletoe and left the room to search for Yuri.
