Serena Elesion laid in the grass, looking at the beautiful sky filled with clouds. There were so many things that looked similar to anything, an elephant, a snake, a hand, a sword. Clouds were so amazing.
"Whatcha lookin' at?" a familiar voice called out, breaking Serena from her little world. She looked over and fell into the flashy blue eyes that belonged to Noel Kreiss.
"Clouds. Can you tell?" she replied as she sat up.
"Are they pretty?"
"Yeah, they are."
"Prettier than my face?" Noel said confidently. Serena scoffed and dropped her head. He was always so smug. Noel and Serena had been friends since... they couldn't remember when, but it was a long time ago. Both had become smitten with one another over the years, although neither of them couldn't see it.
"I don't know... Are they?" Serena asked standing up and facing the handsome man in front of her, arms crossed.
"They might be, although that's debatable," he replied, hands on hips, smirking. Serena rolled her eyes.
"That it is. By the way, what are you doing here? I thought you went out hunting," she said as she started walking back home.
"I couldn't find anything so I decided to spend the day with you," Noel said as he wrapped an arm around Serena's shoulders. She couldn't help but blush. She cleared her throat.
"What?"
"Hands to self, Kreiss."
"What are you talking about? I'm hardly doing anything."
"You know I like my personal space," she replied as she tried to brush Noel's arm off her, which was more muscular than she realized. The other thing that Serena wasn't aware of was that Noel was planning on confessing to her, but she was making it harder for him than it already was.
"Burr... You're colder than ice," he smugly replied.
"Oh, you haven't even felt the half of it," she said as she pushed him lightly.
Noel then took hold of Serena's arm and pulled her towards him. She was baffled and flustered, thinking this was some kind of tease.
"Would you happen to have a hot side too?" he seductively whispered in her ear. Serena's blush worsened as she tried to squirm away from his strong hold.
"Noel, stop teasing me!"
"Why do you think I'm teasing?" he asked as he grabbed her shoulders gently and forced her to look at him. Serena finally looked in his eyes. They seemed to be filled with... hurt?
"I... don't know... Why?" she asked him sheepishly. The young man sighed and looked down.
"I guess what they say is true... love is blind."
Before Serena had time to register what Noel had said, he grabbed her face with his hands and overcame her lips with his in a passionate kiss. The girl's eyes widened. Tears of happiness were attacking them. She closed her eyes to keep them from falling. Their lips went together like a puzzle piece, like they were made for each other. Each sync was melting their lips and both vied to go deeper. However, the breath in their lungs was becoming scarce and they eventually pulled away.
Serena looked in Noel's eyes. She saw the look that she'd wanted to see for so long... but then she realized...
He had always looked at her that way. She gave him a smile
"That, they are."
Noel's eyes widened.
"D-Does that... mean..." he struggled as he also realized the same thing.
"I love you," Serena said.
"I love you more," Noel replied.
With that, the new lovers delved into another kiss. When they broke it, Noel whispered into her ear again.
"So... What about your personal space?" he asked.
Serena cringed and buried her face in his chest.
"Why do you have to be such a tease?"
