Chase kissed me.

Chase kissed me.

That was the only thought that swam in my head.

Chase had kissed me! I didn't know what to do. I was so giddy with the thought that he kissed me- on my birthday~ But what did that make us now? Was it a one time thing or did we mean something more? I simply couldn't ask him and face the embarrassment. So I thought it was best to carry on as if nothing had happened. Sighing as I went, I walked outside and fed my livestock, wondering how they weren't freezing in the cold winter. Once that was finished, I traveled into Harmonica Town towards the Ocarina Inn, but soon the realization crossed my mind: that would be a bad idea. Maya worked there. No! I wouldn't be done in by her stupid remarks and insults. Well that was the plan at least because when I walked in and Maya and Chase were in a heated argument.

"Maya! It's none of your business who I like and who I don't!" Chase yelled.

She stomped her foot and crossed her arms against her chest. "Chase! You shouldn't like anyone else except me! I've know you the longest!"

He gave a low irritated growl. "That has nothing to do with it. Why can't you just leave me alone!" I didn't want to stand and eavesdrop any longer so I gave a loud awkward cough and caught both their attentions.
Their heads swirled around to face me. When all that rage in Chase's lavender eyes bore into mine. I flinched.

"What do you want?" Maya snapped.

My eyes shot open in shock. I hd never seen her so angry. "U-uh coffee!"

Her eyes squinted and her voice became shrill. "We don't sell coffee to broke down whores!"

The words surprised me more than anything. Then the hurt sunk in, but they didn't sting for long as I watched Chase life his hand and bring it down sharply on Maya's cheek. "May. I swear!" He yelled his voice laced with venom. "You ever say anything like that to Hikari again, you will suffer. Badly." His voice was soft yet his anger seeped through like poison.

He straightened his posture and turned, striding towards me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the Inn. My mind was blank as he dragged me down the stairs and on to the docks. Then he led me behind the Fishery and ended up at the beach. "Uh- Chase..." I mumbled but he cut me off by pressing his lips onto my own. My eyes shot open and I froze in place. I couldn't kiss back but I also couldn't pull away. Not that I wanted to mind you. His lips tasted of orange juice which he undoubtedly drank the morning. His hands wrapped around my waist and slowly the shock faded just as he pulled away.

"Don't listen to her Hikari." He spoke softly and looked into my eyes. "She is so wrong. Just jealous because you're the one I have feelings for and not her." My heart seemed to stop at his words.

"Yo-you like...me?" I stuttered looking at his chest and not his eyes. As if he could read my mind he took one hand off my hip and used it to tilt my chin up. He stared directly into my eyes.

"Yes." he nodded. "Ever since that night when you were drunk. You confessed to me and kissed me." My face went tomato red and my hands flew up instantly to cover my embarrassment. I had always wondered what went down that night. He told me "nothing" but there was always a glint in his eyes whenever that subject comes up.

"Uhm..well..." I stuttered not really able to form words while staring into his purple orbs. "That makes me happy!" I suddenly busted trying not to feel embarrassment by how close he was to me. A smile formed on his face. Not a smirk, nor a sneer, but a real smile. And it was for me.

Finally, he stepped away from me and I was free from his smoldering gaze. It sent a shiver up my spine. "So... Does that mean...we're dating?" I asked, a string of hopefulness lacing my voice.

He smirked and nodded. "Yep. This hotness is all yours." I rolled my eyes and mustered up some courage, then leaned up to kiss him.

Sorry Chase turned a little "Barney-ish" i'm watching How I Met Your Mother. I love That show.
