Flower Power

CHAPTER 6

SINOPHIX whipped around to see- "Reklaw!?" She hissed- why in all the flowers would he be here- at this time? "Sinophix!?" Was his response. "What are you doing here? " " I thought you- you - but...." Reklaw couldn't help but roll his eyes. " Just because I'm all the way up here doesn't mean anything. What are you doing here should be the real question!" Sinophix's cheeks, although was freezing cold, suddenly started to burn like they were on fire. "I-I'm just watching the stars.." she whispered. Reklaw blinked, stunned. "You watch the stars?" After a moment, she managed to gain back her boldness. "Anything wrong with that?" Reklaw looked slightly embarrassed. "No, it's just that... I didn't think that you would ever do something like...this."

"Oh, so now you think I'm boring?" Sinophix snapped. At this, Reklaw recoiled. "No, no— I..." he pinched the bridge of his nose— the hell? Was she giving him a headache?— "I just thought you would be sleeping, like everybody else at this time."

No response. Just Sinophix, Reklaw and awkward silence. Then Sinophix somehow managed to get herself lost in his blue, crystal clear eyes. She didn't know how it even managed to happen, but it did. She was pretty sure she was looking pretty dreamy at that moment, and she just backed away.....

Awkward......Sinophix continued to take several steps away from Reklaw as they continued to hold eachother's gaze for what seemed like forever-"Whaa—AAH!"

Then everything was a blur.

Warm hands wrapping around her waist, pulling her from the edge of the Astronomy Tower, but also pulling her closer against her savior's body. She smelled saltwater taffy and saw blonde, curly hair. She stared up into the beautiful blue stars— wait, were stars blue? She was pretty sure she had never seen blue stars in her life, and the ones she was seeing right now looked like identical, crystal clear stars— hold on, what?

"Sinophix, you idiot! What were you thinking, trying to launch yourself off the building!?" Reklaw scolded—oh, those weren't stars that she saw— those were his eyes... she blinked in surprise, " Uh, thanks for saving me , I guess?"

But Sinophix couldn't help but notice that his arms were still hugging her against Reklaw's chest. "Can you...let go of me now?" Immediately, Reklaw blushed a dozen different shades of red. "Sorry!" He pulled his body back from her and turned away. "You should get to bed now. It's late, and tomorrow's going to be quite a day."
