I think you're extrordinary...

Chapter 6: Five

"Why do you bother with me?" She asked naively, 

Because your Vanya, and I like you more than anyone else. A love type like but I don't know if it is love because I'm 14... Probably shouldn't say that.

"What do you mean?" What had sparked these evil thoughts to seep into her brain. 

"I'm useless. I don't have any talents and I can't even use my powers. I'm worse than ordinary."

"I think you're extrordinary... and not because of your powers because of you." I said with a feirce compassion that sounded strange to me but also eerily right. I saw her eyes watch Luther as he plodded around. "What did they say?" Gritting my teeth in pure rage, I jumped over to them and punched Luther across the face into the tree. Vanya tried to pull me away from the situation, but I persisted, staring Luther down as if to challenge me.  Luther retaliated with a smack across the face that left me on the floor with what was surely at least a broken nose. She tried to persuade me not too, thinking I was fighting out of obligation to protect her. But I was fighting, not beacuse she needs protection, but because he hurt her and no one is allowed to hurt her. Luther was suprisingly nonchalant when I mentioned her powers but he probably though I was bluffing to irritate him. I swung to punch him again, but Vanya pushed herself in between my fist and Luther's stomach. 

"Vanya? Why the hell did you do this?" I tried to say nicely but I was angry she had interrupted my vengeance and forced me to hurt her. 

"I didn't want you to hurt him" She astounded everyone around her and rendered them silent. Allison obviously appreciated the sentiment as she mouthed a meek apology and punched Luther, who she normally agrees with unconditionally. She helped me back into the house but I prevented her before she could alert Mom, I knew that explaining our situation would mean Vanya's powers being revealed and could end up with her being hurt or sent away. My eyes followed her as she searched for the small emergency kit. Allison and Luther's heated argument could be heard echoing through the house. My skin burnt as she lightly dabbed the solution onto my cuts and bruises. Grabbing her free wrist for support, I let her continue her work. She leaned on her knees next to me and leant so she could reach my face.  Scanning her concentrated face, I accepted the medication and ice pack. Holding onto her wrist, I made it so she had to stay where she was. She adjusted the icepack so it would help my nose efficiently.  She settled into my lap comfortably after a couple minutes then continued to fix my face. Her abrupt announcment of her leaving caused me to whimper. A noise I never considered making, the dissapointment just slipped out. Waiting impatiently, I twiddled my thumbs and held the old icepack to my nose in the same position it was earlier. Coming back with a sandwich, an icepack and more orders. 

"How do you know all this?" I questioned eagerly. After her answer, I instructed her on the passive agressive speech I wanted her to deliver. Her body curled and fit perfectly into mine. I knew this was when I had to tell her. Tell her what I had always been afraid to say out loud, but in a rambling jumble of mumbled words. After my very mediocre proclaimation she ran of to lunch at the beck and call of an idiotic bell. I succumbed to sleep easily and dreamt of Vanya and her beautifull smile. Rousing from my light sleep, I heard the thundering of everyone else dashing up the stairs before they had to do their homework. 

She loved me too. She didn't say it in those many words but I knew what she meant and she knew what I meant. Leaning over she went for a small delicate kiss to the cheek. My heart beating out of my chest, I carressed he face, alerting her I was awake, and pulled her lips to mine. Our first kiss was small and cautious. But our second was nothing short of tremendous. Holding her cheek, our ecstatic smiles matched. She returned with a harder kiss. I pulled her down to me with a hand on her back. Her arms wrapped around my neck as she sat above my lap and dragged me up to her and furiously kissed me back. It was messy and a little bit weird but it was perfect, just like Vanya. Consciously trying to avoid bashing my nose with her own, she rested her forehead onto mine. Still kneeling on either side of my legs, she burst into a contagious and beautifull fit of laughter that I couldn't help but join. We just sat like this for quite a while. Happy and content.
