The Only Exception

When You Cant Sleep At Night

Before me and Hikaru went to the fair he let me go home and change out of my uniform into my favorite outfit (in media), he for some reason had shorts and a tank top in his bag so he changed in the school bathroom. As I was putting in my Of Mice And Men gauges, my Aunt let Hikaru in and left him in the living room so she could finish her chores for the day. "Hey, who's this cute little guy?" I heard him ask from the hallway, I left the bathroom after finishing and went to see what he was looking at. "That's me when I was younger, I think I was around five." I said, looking over his shoulder to get a better look at the photo, "Oh, well you were very cute, I mean you're still cute now, er, Umm I'll stop talking now." The ginger said, sitting the picture of me back on the table he got it from, looking very flustered from what he had said.

I just walked past him, knowing whatever I say would only get him more embarrassed then he already was. Halfway down the main hall I heard footsteps closing in on me, quickly, then slowed to match my pace as we walked out of the house into the evening air. Hikaru got to the limo before me and proceeded to open the door like the gentleman he is, "After you." he said, moving his arm in a 'get in' motion. I did as he said and slid into the leather seat, him following after me.

We sat in comfortable silence for a while, then we pulled up to the fair. I jumped out of the car before Hikaru could open the door and grabbed his wrist pulling him to the entrance. "Lets go, lets go, lets go!" I started chanting since Hikaru wasn't moving much. "Wow, you really like the fair, don't you?" "Yea we have to ride the tea cups, the tilta whirl, oh and the ferris wheel, but lets do that one last so we can see all the rides with the lights on." I said getting really excited.

After Minato successfully pulled me to the entrance, I paid for us both and the lady gave us a stamp on our hands and sent us on our way. "You know I could've paid, right?" Minato asked, done with his rant of all the rides we had to get on. "Well, I asked you to hang out so I pay." I stated. "That only works with dates, unless this is a date?" I finally looked up from the little map we got and stared into Minatos bright blue eyes, I don't know if I was seeing things but I swear I saw a little glimmer of hope in his eyes when he asked that. "Do you want it to be?" I asked back, playing it safe incase I was seeing things, "Well, yea, kind of. Do you?" now he was looking at the ground, scared of what I was going to say. "Well then, Minato Yami, it looks like we're on a date." I said, matter of factly, intertwining my fingers with his. He looked up, giving me a good look at his beautiful face that was as read as a tomato, "Lets go ride some rides." I said, now it was me pulling him.

We rode almost all of the rides, we only had one more to get on, the Ferris wheel. The entire day, Minato hasn't let go of my hand, not even when we were eating, but I'm not really complaining. It was no different now that we were on the Ferris wheel, but once we got to the top he let go, to my disappointment, and stared out the side of the box. "Its beautiful out here, isn't it?" he asked, "Yea, absolutely gorgeous." I said, but I wasn't looking at the lights of the ride, I was looking at him. When he noticed what I was talking about, he turned a bright red and looked at his feet, a small smile making its way into his face.

While staring at my feet, Hikaru started getting closer until our thighs were touching. He grabbed my hand, but when I didn't look up he pulled my chin up with his fingers. We sat there and stared into each other's eyes until his lips finally met mine. What I was feeling right now weren't the stereotypical fire works, these were bazookas going off. His lips molded with mine so perfectly I thought it was something right out of a movie. His left hand left mine and was now on the back of my hand, his right one wrapped around my waist, making sure I couldn't escape, not like I wanted to. Both of my arms were around his neck, one hand laying limply and the other playing with his hair. Sadly we still had to breathe, so we broke apart, gasping for air. The rest of the ride was silent, but it was a comfortable one. On the way back to the car, I was the one to grab his hand, and he intertwined our fingers again and favs a light squeeze that I returned. Once we got back to my house he walked me up to the door, "So, I guess I'll see you at school." he said, "Yea, you will." I stated, getting on my toes and very lightly pecking his lips, then I slipped back inside and watched him walk to his car, hand never leaving his lips where mine were.
