I leaned against the sink, flipping my phone up in the air and catching it. I hadn't broken it yet. I'd been in there for about three minutes, other thinking every possible scenario I come up with in my head.
Most of them end with him absolutely hating me, or ending in me feeling worse than I do right now. I didn't even know what I was wanting to talk to him about. God, this is gonna be awkward.
I spend another thirty seconds hoping he just wouldn't show up when I heard the bathroom door open.
"Sorry, teacher made me answer a question before she let me go," I could hear that damn smile on his face. I look up at and stop flipping my phone.
"It's alright," I say in a rather quiet voice, which is odd to hear because normally I'm either yelling at someone or just talking really loud for some reason. With Kio it's different, I want him to think I'm gentle, and not crazy like I am with Mae and Hanna.
I smiles and looks down briefly, then back up again after letting a few seconds of just silence pass.
"Soo, what's up?" He asks innocently, stuffing his hands into his pockets. He immediately gets a more serious face, "Is this about Friday? Honestly, I didn't mean to, I know it ma-"
"Calm down," I raise my eyebrows and rest my hand on his. After realizing what I was doing I pull it back quickly as if I'd been burned. "Um," I want to slap myself. I back up at Kio to see he is bright pink in the face, doing that embarrassed smile where his lips are slightly pursed.
It's honestly kind of adorable.
"I just wanted to ask if you're okay with that," My breath hitches, nervous habit. I think Kio noticed because he put his warm hand back onto mine,
"I'm more than okay with it, and I won't tell anyone." He promised, doing that stupid thumb rub on the back of my hand that made my stomach flip. You could definitely say I wasn't used to that type of contact, as I had to choke back a gasp,
to which Kio let out a little laugh and kept his hand sitting on top of mine.
I just sat there, biting the inside of my lip, watching Kio's hand slowly move and turn my hand around. He traced the lines of my palm slowly and started interlocking his fingers with mine.
Every touch felt like fire.
I felt his hand give mine a little squeeze as I met his green eyes. They were calm and loving, unmatched to my probably frantic and nervous ones.
"You want to get out of here?" He asks looking at me.
"Ditching on your second day?" I'm surprised I can even talk, despite the electricity running through my body right now, "What a rebel." I laugh.
Kio is Kio, and he laughs too, nodding as he pulls my hand making me stand up.
"We'd better head out the back, cameras aren't back there." I tell him as we exit the bathroom, his hand still in mine as we book it towards the backdoors. We see a teacher about fifty feet away, I'm letting out laughs like a toddler would as we run out the back.
He let's go of my hand and I'm left sort of bummed by the lack of contact,
"I know a place we can go," Kio smiles kindly as he enters the passenger seat, he's slightly out of breath as a result of how fast we ran. I nod and start the car,
As Kio's telling me directions of where to go, I can't help but notice how thorough he is, he knows all the streets and turns I needed to take. Surprising as he's only been here for about a week.
He also points, which I found quite cute.
The on the way to the place he's pointing me towards, there is quite a few trees. It like one of those forests from those old fairy tales. I'd never been to this part of town. I'd been here for a while, but I hadn't seen many parts of it still.
"And park and we can get out." I pull up to what looks like a strip mall, with lots of stores lined up alongside each other. I was totally and absolutely in the mood to shop, more of a guilty pleasure if you ask me.
I give Kio a big smile and step out.
"I didn't know you were the shopping type," I say to him, starting to walk towards it.
"I'd say the same for you." Kio giggles and looks around at the array of stores, to my surprise he heads towards the Urban Outfitters. He bites his lip as if he's eager to try on some clothes. Being the somewhat gentleman I try to be, I hold the door open for him, earning a, "thank you!"
We look around in the men's section for a while until I lose Kio somewhere.
Looking high and low, he's definitely not in the men's section. My mind tells me he must've had to use the restroom, but when I head into the direction of the restroom, something catches my eye. Kio is in the line for the men's dressing room, holding a few items. One of them is a light pink, and the other is black.
I watch him as he collects his number from the lady working there and he heads into a room. I'm curious to see what he picked out, but I chose against asking to see, as I didn't want to make him uncomfortable.
After a while of looking through a few sweatshirts, my phone buzzes.
"Can you come look at this and tell me if you like it?" The text read. I smile and head over to the dressing rooms, where I tell the lady that I was going into room four. She nods and tells me she thought the things he picked out looked really pretty.
That statement left me rather confused.
I knock on the door, and I hear shuffling,
"Close your eyes, and I'll pull you in," He says quickly. I laugh lightly and close my eyes, hearing the door open and being pulled into the room. I hear him smoothening out whatever fabric he has on and releasing a loud exhale.
A moment of silence until,
"Open."
I'm awestruck. Now I understood what that lady meant. He wore a light pink skater dress that went down to about mid thigh. The top part was somewhat of a crewneck, showcasing his bare shoulders.
He looked pretty.
My mouth is agape as he does a little twirl. I have zero clue what to say,
"Y-you're very pretty, I l-love it," I mentally curse myself for stuttering, but wow, who wouldn't. Kio blushes and looks down at the dress he wore, looking proud of himself. I gulp and walk towards him, wrapping my arms around his waist, pulling him into a hug.
"Thank you." Kio smiles against my shoulder.
