The Otaku and The Prince

The Closet, Kale, and a Kiss?!

Great.

I was at a party in my pjs. Already I was starting to get stares and laughs. I tutted, hating myself for being curious. I was afraid to go into the rooms so I did what I did last time and found a closet.

I closed myself in the closet when no one was looking, sat down, knees up, and hugged them. Che! "I forgot the damn PsP!"

I groaned.

I had my head down so I didn't notice the door open at first, but I felt a breeze and heat. I looked up fast just to see the closet door close. I couldn't see in the dark, so I don't know who the eff just entered. My heart pounded and then I heard his voice.

"Fancy meeting you here." Kale said.

"What the heck!" I snapped, "you scared me."

"Thought the closet monster was going to get you?"

"Ha. Ha." I deadpanned. "What do you want?"

"Well, I was coming upstairs and saw the closet door magically closing." Kale laughed softly. It was... nice. "So why are we here again?"

"Well... I walked out for a quick second and some horny couple jacked the room. I forgot my PsP in there so this really sucks." My eyes were suddenly adjusting in the dark and I could faintly see him now. All night I had been wondering why he never came to see me, now all the sudden he was just here with me in the closet.

"That does suck."

"So...." I said awkwardly.

"So...?"

I didn't say anything. By the second the silence was starting to consume me. Sure it was loud outside but in here with him, alone? The silence was echoing.

"Uhm... thank you." I finally said.

"For?"

"Saving me earlier."

"Oh."

Oh? "Uhm... yeah."

I felt him shrug and again it was silent.

"Do you... feel better?" He finally asked.

I looked at him. He was leaned against the wall, both legs up too, his right arm perched on his knee, and bent so his hand grabbed at his head.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"That's good."

My heart started to slowly but surely begin to thump louder. I was self-concious. Thinking that Kale could hear it. "So... why aren't you partying?"

Kale shrugged, "I didn't even know we were having one. It's the same as always anyway... I'm just bored."

"Well you're not gonna find any entertainment in here." I snorted.

Kale turned to me, I couldn't read his face since it was so dark but I could only imagine him smiling just the tiniest. "That's not true."

"Yeah right." I said, my face heating up. Dear God.

I suddenly remembered when I was told he resucitated me, steam could practically be coming off me now. Our lips touched.... I gulped. Situations like these only happen in mangas... yet it was happening to me right now. Maybe this was all just some dream I fabricated. What if Kale wasn't really real?

"Hey." Kale said, bringing me out of my deep thoughts.

"Huh?"

Kale gave me a heavy look that I couldn't look away from, it was like his eyes had latched onto mine by some divine force. (I know. I'm dramatic).

Suddenly he moved his hand to cup the back of my neck.

"What are you doing?" I wheezed out, the last of my breath went with that question.

My heart was pounding powerfully in my chest, what if it tore right through my rib cage? I would have to reach out and pull it back in!

Kale brought his face dangerously close to mine.

I still wasn't breathing.

I remained frozen on spot as Kale tilted his head, our lips were a feathers touch apart. We remained at that distance for a good minute before he suddenly flinched away, muttering, "sorry," in the most painful way possible, and then opening the closet door and rushing out.

I inhaled in deeply.

"What the f-... what the fu.... what the...." I gasped, clutching at my chest.
