Awakening
 
Chapter 5 - A lesson in Flirting
 
 
The morning had come sooner than expected. Expected…perhaps the wrong word.
 
Sunlight ran along the floor and across the covers of a simple blow up double bed, invading the eyes of the girl that occupied it. Raven viciously grabbed the covers pulling them over her head groaning. It wasn't long before she gave up trying to return to any kind of slumber. Once awake she had always found it difficult to go back to sleep. It sucked. She peeked out from under the covers to see if anyone else was awake.
 
For the remainder of the night they had watched movies and chatted away mindlessly, as teens do. It was strange to think that a year ago she would have been up studying by now even despite it being the weekend. Her old school had been all about well school.
 
`Study study study till your limbs fall off only then can you reach your full potential.' She thought sarcastically.
 
Least now she had a sense of freedom…and friends.
Blowing a feather from her face she smiled.
When it came to sleeping arrangements the teens fought for space despite there being 4 bedrooms in the house. They all ended up sleeping in Skye's room simply due to laziness however they had been watching a film in her room and when they decided to sleep it was 3 in the morning so there lack of energy was understandable. Skye for one wasn't prepared to move at that time, boy could that girl eat ice cream, then again it had been fucking good. Which led her to wonder, `Where does someone pick up a talent such as making ice-cream? That boy was an oddity'
Anyways the sleeping arrangement battle started which led to feathery pillows being thrown in every direction rather brutality. Paige had been luckiest, her agility surprising. Kai seemed to have been unimpressed by the pillow fight and had been the one to get other quilts and covers.
 
She noticed Skye tucked up in her large bed mumbling to herself.
Thinking about it everyone could have fitted in her bed alone…`ok perhaps that's a little over exaggerated'
Tala was not far from herself and surrounded by a fort of pillows, quite an amusing site. Paige slept beside Skye's bed, quite happy as she had gotten the king size duvet which was currently wrapped around her, `Kind of like a cocoon.' Raven giggled to herself thinking of Paige getting up and being this big butterfly. The blonde embedded herself deeper within the duvet adding to Raven's amusement.
Raven paused and her smile faded to confusion wondering where the 5th member of the group was. She sighed…or did she? Eyes widening at the strange tickling sensation at the back of her neck, she turned round.
 
“…”
 
As she turned her head she came face to face with a sleeping blue haired wonder. `Since when is he a wonder?' Shaking her head she noticed the boy was lying upside down to her, his head the only part of him in line with her. (Hard to describe lol) He seemed so different when he was asleep, as though he was free of any worries he had, quite content. There was tenderness to his face she had never noticed before. She smiled despite herself, pink gracing her cheeks. She didn't know why but it felt almost wrong to be watching him when he was so unaware and unguarded nearly. In the time she had known him which sure wasn't long, she had noticed he was usually cold and indifferent and at other times he was more…real. He could be funny, admittedly helpful though still arrogant then again these attitudes never seemed to last long. If something was to make him laugh he would return to guarded as if he had forgotten himself, or his place. It was funny though, when he was Hanging out with friends, like he had been that night he was less wary of his mask and she had seen a little more of what she dubbed, his true personality. He shifted slightly in his sleep, his cover he'd long since kicked off himself now lay in a mess at his feet. The teen was wearing a white vest and Black boxers…simple yet…effective. She smirked inanely. `God Tala's made me the horny girl I am now, I used to be fucking sweet and knew nothing…ok so I was never sweet but still. FUCK what the hell am I thinking, I don't even know this boy, I'm not interested in relationships!...hmm' Grumbling she smacked her forehead as if hoping that would remove the thoughts from her head. She returned to looking at the teen cautiously checking for signs of life.
`Nope, still dead to the world'
Sighing she pushed her own quilt away stood up and retrieved her bag from the floor then made her way to the door walking around Kai and any pillows and covers on her way.

Vibrant red's, pink's, oranges and yellows made up the spacey background along with strange purple monkeys which ran around screeching. They called for Bananas. She wasn't sure how she understood but she decided to help. Franticly reaching for falling bananas…but they were tricky bastards. Suddenly the monkeys looked at her funnily.
“Now just wait a minute” she shouted franticly.
“No wait…noooo”

By the time Raven had changed she felt less sleepy and more refreshed. She looked at her reflection in the mirror before tottering back to Skye's room. As she entered she was sure to close the door behind her quietly so as not to wake anyone, when she was sure they were all still asleep she dropped her bag to the floor and turned around a little too enthusiastically but was a little late in noticing Kai had rolled onto his back from his side. Considering the quilt in front of the door it wasn't really a surprise when Raven tripped and found herself falling, her arms waving franticly as she mentally screamed.
 
`OH BUGGER'
 
It happened all to fast for her liking. Her hands reaching for the floor so she wouldn't end flat against the sleeping Kai. However it didn't quite happen that way and she didn't know whether to be thankful or mortified. It seemed Kai had chosen the perfect moment to wake up, that or he was a light sleeper. Her hands didn't do as she wanted however and was about to face the horrible truth that she would be the one to kill Kai. Then again to her surprise she found herself suspended almost above him and opened one eye and noticed he had caught her elbows and was holding her above him, surprise evident on his face along with confusion.
They paused, looking at each other. Still. Waiting, Expecting someone in the room to awake and complain about the noise, or simply wake up or…Anything. A minute or so had passed without a noise and Kai lost his awkward grip on her elbows causing Raven to fall completely on the teen with a groan, from both.
 
`Shit'
 
Desperately scrambling to get off the boy only resulted in her feet getting tangled within his covers at the bottom of his own made up bed.
 
“Eager?”
 
“Excuse me?” she asked in surprise.
 
“Well I never expected you to simply jump me”
 
“I WASN…” She didn't know what to say. She had never been in this situation before; she was on top of the guy for god's sakes. Was this even a situation or whatever? She gave up.
 
“I fell” she murmured pitifully.
 
“You fell for me?” Leaning on his elbows he brought his face closer to hers.
 
He turned back to retort to his remark only to shrink back. His face had been inches from hers, he was half naked and she was sitting on top of him. Was he suggesting something or was he just trying to intimidate her. She went for the latter not expecting it to be the first one. It wouldn't, couldn't be the first.
 
“Funny. You're the idiot you choose to sleep in front of the fucking door” she grumbled.
 
“Witty”
 
“I try”
 
At this point she furiously rubbed her feet trying to free herself from the duvet which entrapped her but to no avail.
 
“Clearly” he mumbled sarcastically.
 
She sighed giving up her fight with the sheets. “Are you always this one worded and sarcastic” she muttered.
 
The blue haired teen below her seemed to take her words into consideration before replying. “I've never really thought about it”
 
Raven Shrugged. The position failed to seem troubling to either teen anymore. Not to say it was comfortable though.
 
“I'm not a banana…”
 
Eyes widened as the two on top of each other on the floor looked to the girl that had spoken. It appeared that Skye was talking in her sleep, thankfully. They both let out a breath before turning to face one another again. It wasn't as if they were doing anything wrong. She had fallen on him and was finding it to difficult to move. It sounded pathetic in her mind was it was true.
It was a moment before either spoke and it was Kai who broke the silence.
 
“I don't think so”
 
Raven looked confused. `What is he on?'
 
“Don't think so too…what?”
 
He smirked and her curiosity grew. His mask had slipped so this had to be interesting. Surprised would be an understatement as to her response to his following actions.
 
Manoeuvring so he leaned on one elbow, he let his free hand run along her side leaving strange tingles till he brought it round to her chest where he stopped.
 
She still looked confused and slightly peeved despite her slightly open mouth, sure he wasn't feeling her up but still.
 
He looked down to her top and she followed to see what he was looking at.
She smiled despite the need to kick herself. She'd forgotten her chosen item of clothing, her shirt which currently displayed the words, `I'm Fucking You'. She grinned wondering how to reply. Sure she hadn't been around boys for long, it sounded quite dismal thinking that, then again didn't hurt to try something...new.
 
“You just haven't had the pleasure is all”
 
The Crimson eyed boy raised his eyebrow at her reply; he had not expected her to reply in a flirty manner. He wasn't one to indulge in something as pointless as flirting then again he had to admit there was something about her attitude which he found intriguing. All he really knew about her was that she had been at some private all girls school most of her life and had recently moved cause of her dad's work…or something. He smirked `Can I really deny her something she's been missing out on. Well unless she's…' he looked up at the girl. Her lips were tinted red but had no sheen, he assumed they were naturally that way, her mouth tilted upwards forming a grin and her eyes were wide, that wondrous blue seemed to be glittering playfully. `Not gay!' he confirmed to himself.
 
“Pleasure? If that's what you'd call it, why would I be interested in that?”
 
She had to admit she was a little put off. She didn't even know what she was saying she was just messing about. His eyes seemed mischievous along with his expression. He was just doing the same she realised.
 
“I don't have the answers.” She replied pausing,
“…Try asking your head” there was amusement in her tone along with something more teasing.
 
She smiled this time, a genuine smile, `She's been spending too much time with that red head'
 
“God I hate mornings…there so eugh…geez…stupid…banana eating chimps…stupid sun…quilts” the disgruntled murmurs continued even when the girl left her room oblivious to the two she passed on the floor.
Raven and Kai seemed to be engaged in a staring contest of sorts, a smirk gracing his lips and Raven…well she was still amused by her previous statement. Despite herself she decided she'd spent enough time on top of the boy and reluctantly rolled of only to find her feet still held tightly by the quilt. She lay pitifully trying to kick the bulky thing off.
 
Kai looked at her enjoyment clear in his voice.
 
“Need some help there?”
 
She frowned looking away. A clear yes.
 
He had to admit he was amused at how quickly she changed, grown into herself. From the first time he met her she had been shy and enclosed. Now she was fun, silly, comfortable and seemingly flirty. It was as though she had been repressed her whole life and suddenly she had a sense of freedom well up inside her and she was eager to let it out and see what there was to experience in the world. Part of that he had had learned from earlier. He enjoyed her current dilemma and like the gentlemen he was he would help her.
 
Raven couldn't prevent the surprised gasp that left her mouth as she felt a sudden weight upon her.
 
“You need to say please”
 
She blinked in surprise and confusion. She'd been feeling way too confused for her liking. She swallowed nothing in particular, she was a little uncomfortable with his closeness, his mouth inches from her own.
 
`What happened to the usually quiet guy? Why's he all...himself? If that's what he is…Does he not mind letting his guard done with me?'
 
“…please. But I could do it myself” she added the second bit to make herself feel less contemptible. `I mean I can't even free myself from tangled sheets'
 
He didn't seem to believe her. “You want to be free or not”
 
Raven had a new found determination not to lower her eyes; she didn't want to give him ideas so instead crystal blue locked with scarlet.
 
“More than anything” she mumbled unaware of what she had let slip as she continued to lose herself in those blood red eyes of his. There was something wild about them, like a raging fire screaming to be released. Perhaps she wasn't as free as she thought,…as he thought. Was he trapped like her?
 
He disregarded her comment and made his way down her body, not quite how she expected him to free her. His feral eyes never left her own as his hands moved down her sides, at one point she was all to aware of his hot breath on her stomach creating a strange warmth within her.
 
`Damn short shirts' she thought though she was not as annoyed as she tried to be.
 
It took the girl a few moments to realise that he was pulling the quilt away from her feet and when she did she sat up immediately and laughed in an awkward manner uttering a quick “thanks” before running for the door and leaving the room.
 
Kai ran his hands through his dishevelled hair before leaning back on his hands, his legs stretched out before him. There was an indescribable look on his face which was slowly returning to guarded and passive, as usual.
 
“Shit…Am I still asleep? Last time I saw Kai Hiwatari act like that with a girl was...well…never” The perplexed red head stood then grabbed the bed realising he was a little dizzy.
 
Kai looked up at his friend frowning, “Yep, still asleep” Kai too stood up hitting his friend over the head. “Now your awake, see. I woke you up”
 
“Ouch man. What was that for? I didn't ask to be awoken, Hey” he called out to his blue haired friend who had already left the room. Looking around the large room he soon noticed he was pretty much alone except for the blonde. He sighed pulling a white feather from his fairly messy effervescent red hair. He went for the door pausing. He couldn't understand. Had he done something? Shaking his head he too left the room assuming Paige wouldn't like to see him first thing in the morning or anytime for that matter.
