Suddenly, the sky broke and a streak of light fell all through it.
The sky was on motion of a light show.
They both looked up as they couldn't have missed the most beautiful and bright thing ever. They eyes reflected it whole.
The star was so close and shiny that they couldn't even blink as they were struck by it completely.
It took a whole 10 second to disappear when Iven and Seb's daze was broken.
"Did you wish?", Iven nudged her.
Seb looked at him perplexed,"Ah right...I forgot. I was so lost in it. Did you?".
"What should I do with you?", Iven sighed,"I did my part. And if it gets fulfilled, than you don't need to wish anymore".
"You don't tell me what I need to do", Seb beamed and started to walk off.
Iven swiftly caught her wrist and pulled back,"Where are you going? Are you walking off on me?".
"Who's walking off? It is getting late", Seb said nervously. Iven was quick to notice that.
He smirked and faced her directly with the intention of dazzling her more. It was cute to look at her when she's all flustered. Her ears had turned red.
Iven said,"Why do you keep dropping hints of what I want to hear? Just be brave and admit it already. We both don't have to suffer from it."
But he knew Seb wouldn't. She was a scholar in stubbornness.
She talked without meeting his eyes,"I have nothing to admit. You're so stuck up".
"Why are you so nervous then?" Iven smiled.
-Who's nervous???
-Fine don't tell me, why don't you wish for it. If it's true, I'll come to know it anyways.
-I don't have anything to wish for, besides, the star is gone.
-If you really want to wish, I can bring it back for you.
-Don't throw such bluff Iven!!!
-Belle, do you want to wish?
-Iven...enough...
-Do you want to wish Belle?
Iven's face has completely changed. He seemed more serious. Seb couldn't answer. She didn't know what to reply. His eyes were so deep and reflected herself. She couldn't look away from him. It struck her that he has never been so beautiful before, or it's just she had never seen him so closely from this angle or never noticed.
-Do you want to wish?
Iven repeated restlessly.
Seb swallowed once and replied,"Only if you can bring it back. You know that's not possible right?".
"Trust me more", Iven whispered,"Close your eyes".
"Huh??....", Seb was surprised.
Iven looked down and smiled,"Just trust me, you know you do".
Seb took a while before she closed her eyes. She was hesitating, but it was Iven before her. And she knew that she believed more than anyone.
Iven absorbed 10 seconds watching her face.
It was so fair and smooth. Her large eyes and constantly twitching lips due to nervousness. She wasn't a patient person, neither was he. Her head was tousled and bangs fell all over her eyes. Her lips were as pink as a baby's without any extra color in them. It kept on twitching. When did she turn so attractive? Or was it just Iven.
He knew if he stare a while longer he can't control himself.
No!!! Not anymore! He can't resist her anymore.
He tried to stop himself, but something possessed all over his body and controlled him. It was her!...
Seb was all over him, tempting him, making him this vulnerable, the way he is now....
Bending forward, Iven grabbed Seb's face and before she could open her eyes and study the situation, he had already pressed his lips against hers.
He was gentle as he pressed a bit harder and puckered them, savoring the taste of her lips. They tasted cold but warm to him. He opened his mouth and sucked once, twice....thrice....again.....more.....he needs it more....not enough....
Seb was dumbstruck!!!
She never could have imagined Iven to do so.
It was too soon.
But she couldn't pull back. She didn't want to. Though she wasn't being able to return the same sensation which he was providing and demanding, she couldn't gain the strength to deny him.
Somehow it was suiting to her taste...because her eyes were shot open the whole time.
And she could see him in front of her...Iven. She was calm because it was him. she didn't resist because she could see it was Iven in front of her. She wanted him, she knew now what had he tried to imply.
Iven would have probably eaten her up whole if he had no self control or conscience.
When he had opened his eyes and judged Seb's reaction, he pulled back slowly to give some space.
She was still shocked, trying to recover from it. But she didn't seem uncomfortable.
This time the situation was reversed.
Seb was gazing without a blink at him and Iven tried to avoid her eyes and hide his blush. He covered his face to prevent her from seeing it.
"Will you just stop staring?", he finally interjected when nothing worked.
Seb didn't say anything. Her ears were apple red.
"Why?", she asked timidly.
"What do you mean why?", Iven was getting high tempted,"You could have pulled back if you didn't want it..."
Seb went on looking with pop out eyes,"But...was that my wish?".
Iven looked back, his shy expression was fading. He walked up to Seb and said,"You still want to wish? I'll make that happen then".
He reached out for her face.
Seb flinched.
Iven assured,"I won't do anything".
He held her cheek and slowly nudged it up, towards the sky.
"Anytime now...", he warned.
Seb was trying to make out his intentions when all of a sudden, a shooting start fell from the sky.
She was amazed,"How did you.....",
She couldn't complete when another followed, then another....and in a while, the whole was lit up like falling fireworks. It was a shower which was timed tonight.
Seb watched with her mouth open and eyes bloomed. They were shiny and bright. She was totally lost in them.
Iven watched too. But he observed the star beside him more.
Her eyes were larger than ever, and it is undecipherable how they shone. He kept losing himself in them as his eyes were moving towards her open mouth with a tint smile and joy.
He decided not to look many times, because then he would lose control again.
But he couldn't help but look again.
Oh how much he wanted her right that moment...to touch her...embrace her....
The shower was over.
But Seb eye's were fixed towards the sky.
Iven noticed and said,"Belle, it's over".
"I know", Seb replied without looking,"But do you see the stars?".
Iven looked up again. There were indeed too many stars that night. The sky bathed in moon and star light.
"Did you wish this time?", Iven asked.
"I didn't", Seb answered calmly.
Iven didn't say anything. The amusement had vanished off his face. Seb chuckled as she understood even without looking at him.
Slowly she reached out her hand beside, and held Iven's. Iven's expression changed to surprise and then a warm smile. He held back without any grab, but a rather passionate one. He entangled his fingers with hers and kept it intact. He won't let go of it anymore, anytime ever. He'll protect this person, even on his life. Her aura...face...voice...all made him want to protect her so badly. And he would, no matter what!!!
"My wish was fulfilled even before I could ask for it", Seb let out slowly and shyly.
"So, officially my person?" Iven teased.
"Shut up!", Seb said.
"My bad", Iven said,"You're my girl. And know this, unless I let you go, you can't leave me. I won't let you run away".
"Try me boy", Seb challenged back.
