CHAPTER 7; MORE THAN FRIENDS MOMENTS

Your hands trembled a little as they clutched your gold chain, eyes wide and filled with anxiousness.

You had barely even walked five feet, keeping your movements slow and reaching out occasionally to brush your fingers along the wall, making sure you weren't going to bump into anything and hurt yourself. You kept your breathing steady, picking up the pace as to reach the end of the corridor. The end had another fork, but this time there was also an option to go straight. If you go to the right, you thought maybe you'd be able to go around and find everyone. But if you were wrong...

"If things don't go right, go left, but if things ain't goin' left, keep on straight." You whispered to yourself. Heading towards the door that led straight you were now in a lit room, filled with low green colored lights. This room looked a mess, hospital beds lazily placed all over, some against the wall and some in the middle of the room completely flipped on their sides. Sheets were hanging off some of them or nailed against the wall as well. Paperwork like birth certificates littered the floor, and the sound of squeaking rats filled the silence. Randomly, there was a couch, with someone sitting on it. Their head was thrown back lazily, eyes wide open, in a hospital patient outfit. You let out a little noise of shock, jumping back a bit. Your eyes stayed fixed on the patient, not bothering to move until you felt like it was safe.

Suddenly, the patient smacked his hands against the couch, creating a loud sound that made your heart lose its rhythm. You yelped, slapping a hand over your mouth. The patient must have been toying with you as that's all he did...or so you thought.

You needed to get through so you just scurried by quickly, squealing and yelping the whole way past him.

"WAIT!" He hollered, his voice sending a chill down your spine.

"Ah!" You screamed loudly, breaking out into a full out sprint. He chased after you, yelling out that you needed to come with him. You panted, still hearing the sound of his shoes beating against the cement floor. Running into a short hallway you then turned to the right, continuing to run until you were out of breath. You didn't even know if he was still chasing you or not, the ambient sounds were booming in this room you entered. It was flashing bright white lights, highly disorienting as all you wanted was to just catch your breath for a second. Some metal clanging sounds startled you, making you book it out of there like a fearful deer in headlights. The next room was pitch black aside from the extremely low red lights on a desk near the far end of the room, another disorienting contrast from the wildly flashing lights room you were previously in.

Suddenly, as you were running, someone appeared what felt like out of nowhere from in front of you, grabbing your waist and forcing you backwards with their movements. You didn't even hear them coming! "AAH-mmm!" Your scream was abruptly silenced with a hand over your mouth. The actors weren't allowed to touch anyone so what the fuck is going on?! Your eyes widened, the sound of someone yelling and running into this dark room from the direction you would have been going made your heart pound harder. The fact that you haven't had a heart attack yet was mind boggling. You reached up, wrapping both hands around the wrist of whoever had a hold on you.

"It's me, it's me, it's me!" Kazutora whispered by your right ear, pressing you against a cold, smooth wall. It felt like a five hundred pound weight was lifted off of you. Now that he was close enough you could see his silhouette, along with faint details of his face and earring. You relaxed instantly, both of you staying quiet as the actor ran out of the room. His hand retracted hesitantly, pulling away from you cautiously.

"AAAAAAHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Muffled maniacal laughter gradually became louder. A couple had ran into the dark room you both were in, being chased by that same actor that seemed to have been chasing Kazutora. His hand went right back over your mouth, keeping you quiet while the other used the wall for support. Instinctually, you gripped onto his jacket tightly, pulling him closer until you both were practically one person. The couple flew out of the room like bats straight outta hell, screaming their heads off.

The couple was finally out of the room, but the actor sounded like he was pacing back and forth in character, banging his fists against desks and the wall opposite from you both to make loud, startling noises. Your eyes were wide, trying with everything you had to get even a slightly clear glimpse of your surroundings. The only real assurance of Kazutora's presence was the hand over your mouth and feeling his body pressed closely against you. You two stayed still like statues, trying to keep your breathing as steady and quiet as possible. Once the actor had left the room, you let out a shaky sigh through your nose.

Thank God....

The two of you slowly relaxed, his forehead resting on the space between your neck and shoulder as he let his other hand lazily slide down and find a home by your upper arm. "That felt real didn't it?" He whispered with a small, breathy chuckle. You nodded shortly in response, still shook about everything that just took place.

And just then, it seemed at the same time it finally dawned on the two of you the kind of position you both were in.

This proximity...it's the closest you two have ever been...and the hand placements...

In that moment, Kazutora lifted his head, slowly as to not startle you, his hair tickling your neck. He felt like everything was moving in slow motion except for his pounding heartbeat. Surely it was from all that running he'd just did trying to find you, right? You kept your head down towards his chest, knowing if you looked up at him your nose would practically be touching his chin. He moved like he wasn't even conscious of what he was doing, his hand still resting on your upper arm hesitantly dragging its way to the space where your neck meets your jaw. Excitement coursed all throughout his veins as he lifted your head to meet his eyes. You looked up at him, eyes all sparkly and innocent, your grip on his jacket loosening little by little.

Why are you so damn cute?

There was no way you didn't know what you were doing. How could you not know? You do this to him all the time! You never have to really say or do much to make him feel like he can't breathe, can't control himself. One simple look his way and he's falling apart at the seams.

Then, right in that moment, you went and did something dangerous. Kazutora's eyes locked onto your lips, watching as your tongue swiped temptingly against your thinly glossed bottom lip. In his eyes, it was one of the most sensual things he'd ever witnessed so far in his life, and he concludes he'd do anything for a taste of your lips right now. His hand against the wall gently landed at your waist, then hesitantly snaked around you. It gave you the slightest bit of courage to lean forward towards him, just a little.

The small movement didn't go unnoticed by him though. Feeling motivated by your subtle advance, he also made a small effort to close the gap. Your lips brushed against his faintly, the gesture unintentionally teasing him. Both of you breathed heavily, chests rising and falling visibly as your eyelids fluttered closed. He wondered if you were feeling exactly what he feels right now. It was more like he needed you to feel the same way, he couldn't possibly go through these emotions alone. This weird nervous, anxious kind of excitement...and all the damn questions he couldn't bare to ask you.

Did you want his touch in the same way he wanted yours? Did you like the way he held you close like this? Did you really want to kiss? How much did you want to kiss him? Would he scare you away if he asked those things out loud? Damn, he couldn't take it anymore!

Finally, he pressed his lips against yours firmly yet gently. His mind went completely blank, rapidly being filled to the brim with a blissful fog. Your lips were even better than he imagined, they're so soft, and warm. The kiss deepened naturally, your hands finally letting go of his jacket to slowly wrap around his neck, while his hand on your cheek moved down to snake around your waist like the other, practically hugging you.

Your touch sent tingly shivers all down his spine, yet his whole body was burning hot. He could stay like this forever and be completely content without anything else. You were addictive, with those pretty, fully plump lips. The kiss was slow yet intense, your lips moving against each others with a kind of passion neither of you have the guts to acknowledge with words is there.

Then suddenly, the realization of where the two of you were, and the fact that there was now, officially, an obnoxiously visible grey area with your relationship to Kazutora came and hovered over your little moment. You pulled away abruptly, a little smacking sound the two of your lips made only adding to the fierce embarrassment settling in. Your head was cast down, lips no longer in Kazutora's reach as he furrowed his brows in disappointment. He felt like he'd just got snatched out of an amazing dream he didn't want to end.

"We should get out of here." You murmur bashfully, one hand messing around with your curls subconsciously.

"Oh...yeah." He responded blankly, his mind still stuck drifting off aimlessly in that dreamland your lips had sent him to. He trails behind you, feeling both amazing and yet utterly confused.

Why'd he even go and kiss you anyways? The real question is...why'd you let him?

💎

In thirty minutes the two of you finally found the exit, meeting up with the rest of your group. They all had made their way to the arcade, as the inner part of the theme park was already closed, leaving just the haunted attraction and arcade left to enjoy.

"Well goddamn! It took you guys long enough!" Asuka huffed, throwing her hands in the air as she spotted us. The rest of the group turned around, all making the same kind of comments and expressions at your tardiness.

"Ehh, it wasn't that long." Kazutora chuckled, waving her off.

"No, it very much was! We've been out here forever!" Yumi whines.

"Well at least we're all together now. What should we do from here? The park's gonna close in a while!" You chime in.

"How 'bout the arcade?" Hanma suggests with a plain shrug, looking to his left at the plethora of multicolored lights coming from the arcade area.

You all agreed as there was literally nothing else to do. Wandering around the arcade, you looked for something that interested you, Kazutora following closely next to you.

"Oh my goooosh! Look at this big old thing!" You beam, running over and pointing at a top shelf with a huge plushie. It was a white bunny with a strawberry hat, blushing pink cheeks, and a cute strawberry dress on. "It's soooo cute! I wanna win it!" You exclaimed determinedly. It was a claw game, a game you've never really been good at, but you wanted to try anyways.

Kazutora chuckles at your excitement and walks over to the game, watching your first two futile attempts at getting the big prize.

"Here, I'll get it for you." He offers, scooting you out of the way. You watch with a slight pout, disappointed that you couldn't get it yourself but grateful that you had help. Kazutora's focused, brows furrowed while he chews slightly on his bottom lip.

The claw makes slow, calculated movements, before finally stopping and clamping down right on the rabbits ear. "Oh!' You gasp but then quickly cover your mouth, the process wasn't over yet, he still needed to get it to the drop box. Again the claw proceeds to move, this time even slower than before, carrying the large bunny over to the left corner. By now Kazutora's lips were pursed tightly together, brows still furrowed deeply as he almost gets the prize to the opening.

"Oh my gosh, it's so close." You mumble barely above a whisper, hovering your hands over your mouth as you watch from behind him.

Then the prize drops.....right into the dropbox.

"YEEEEEESSS!" You both exclaim happily. Without thinking, you go and wrap your arms around Kazutora from behind, burying your face in his shoulder as you squeal in excitement. Your heart skips a beat as you realize what you did, pulling away with a slight awkward chuckle. It didn't go unnoticed by you the way Kazutora's cheeks dusted light pink from your gesture.

The game announces that we've won, then opens the large latch so you could grab the toy. The plush looks even bigger in your arms, reaching all the way down to your mid thighs from your chin.

"It's so perfect. Thank you so much, K!" You beam, giving him a cute, closed eyed smile.

"It was nothing." He murmurs softly, feeling that same slightly annoying tugging feeling in his chest.

From a far, Yumi and Asuka notice the whole scene, giggling and murmuring to each other unbeknownst to Hanma.

"Something definitely happened while they were in that haunted house." Asuka smirks devilishly.

💎

Once the park closed you all went your separate ways home. You learned through the group chat with your friends that Hanma ended up walking Yumi home, leading you to tell them that Kazutora did as well.

The walk back to your place after the train ride was excruciating, but somehow in an exciting way. It was quiet between you two, and so tense. The crisp, nearly November, air felt hot and heavy like the middle of August. Every brush of your hand against his caused you both to jump, eyes going wide while looking away from each other. It made you feel like you were in middle school or something. Since when were you this jumpy around him?

You hoped it wasn't obvious, the nervousness, and the quick stolen glances. You wanted to hold his hand, or have him wrap his arm around you, but you knew it was probably wrong. The two of you are just friends, and it's best to stay that way. It hasn't even been a day later and you both already don't know how act. It's awkward, like all the work the two of you did to get closer just went out of the window.

Neither of you had the guts to break the silence, at least, not until you got to your place.

"Thanks for walking me home, K." You mutter with a shy smile, clutching your bunny plushie to your chest.

"You don't have to thank me for that." He shrugs, looking to the side while placing his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah I do." You shake your head with a slight frown. Once again a silence falls between you too, yet this time the two of your eyes do all the talking.

Yours were involuntarily pleading for a kiss, a touch, anything from him. Just the one moment was quickly proving to not be enough. Part of you is disappointed you broke the kiss so early before. You didn't give yourself enough time to savor it.

"I'll see you later, alright?" He says, looking at you with a soft gaze that made your heart skip.

"Mhm." You nod, trying not to look as disappointed as you felt. What would happen if you asked him to come inside with you? You knew you didn't have the guts to ask and find out. The two of you slowly back away from each other, neither one truly ready to leave the other's sight. You force yourself to turn around, breaking the intense gaze and head inside to your apartment.

Tiredly you change into your nightwear. It was too much work to be all meticulous with your hair, so you opted for a basic pineapple using your satin scarf and threw a bonnet on top. You find yourself staring at the ceiling on your bed, your fingers grazing ever so slightly against your lips.

"That was my first kiss...."
