Drabble - Magic
A/N: Drabbles are all I have time for. In fact, this can be any pairing, but it sure screams YulSic, doesn't it?
Magic
Gazing deeply into your eyes, she reaches for your hand across the table, and holds it tightly. You feel the soft, warmth of her hand enveloping yours; the heat permeating through you like a rush of adrenaline.
You know that only she has the capability of eliciting such an emotion in you as you feel that uninhibited pounding of your heart, as it hammers relentlessly against your chest. Dugeun. Dugeun. Dugeun.
"What?" You ask, blushing furiously, wishing she wouldn't quite stare so.
"I just can't get enough," she says in that slightly husky voice with that sultry tone to it, to which you have grown accustomed, and for obvious reasons, you know you will never tire of listening to.
"Of what?"
"You."
You bashfully avert your eyes, staring into your glass of bubbly, but she lifts your chin with a finger and her eyes meet yours.
"Are you always this cheesy?"
"I know, right?"
"So, what do we do? Play hopeless romantics and stare meaningfully into each other's eyes for the rest of the evening?"
"Shouldn't a kiss be the order of the day?"
"What? Here?" Alarmed at her suggestion, your eyes dart wildly around the Italian restaurant. "For ALL to see?"
"I can kiss you without touching your lips, " she declares, and with a slight smirk, adds, "You see, I know magic."
"You expect me to buy that?" You pooh-poohed the notion.
"Let me show you my magic trick."
She leans closer. You have suspicion written all over your face as you recline further away into your chair.
"Nothing doing. You're not kissing me in full view of others."
"I can kiss you without touching you at all."
"How is that even possible?" You ask disbelievingly.
You want so much to believe her but because of her reputation of being the Resident goofball among your mutual circle of friends, you have your reservations.
"It's a magic kiss." She pulls you gently by your jacket lapels, drawing you closer towards her, saying earnestly, "Just - trust me."
Your faces are mere centimeters apart and you get a whiff of that expensive French perfume you gave her for her birthday. You find yourself staring at her luscious lips, although at such close proximity, your vision is, of course, as blurry as your head is woozy. You have the champagne consumed earlier to thank.
"I swear, if this is another of your silly - " you begin, but she shushes you up by pressing a finger to your lips.
"Ssshh. Just - close your eyes already. This is sheer magic. "
"Fine."
You still don't believe her but you obediently close your eyes, waiting with bated breath, and you wish you hadn't ordered clams with white wine and garlic sauce because you're terribly self-conscious of that garlicky aftertaste in your mouth. You wonder if she can smell it on your breath?
Of course, this is against your better judgement. You should have known better than to believe this incorrigible goofball of all times. You mentally facepalm yourself over and over in your head the moment you feel those soft, moist lips gently pressing down against yours.
But do you care? Somehow or other, it doesn't really matter to you anymore if the whole universe become spectators of this little scenario, or that once again, you have fallen victim to her prank - hook, line and sinker. You only care that you want to return her kiss, and you voluntarily part your lips to allow her slippery appendage access into that welcoming cavern that constitutes your mouth.
A good 10 seconds or so later, slightly breathless, you chide, an eyebrow raised, "You fail magician. You call this magic?"
She flashes you that disarming little grin that never fails to make you go gaga.
"Dang, it didn't work," she says, making a big show of faux disappointment, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. " Can I try it again?"
A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know. Another randomly-written, lame one from yours truly....ahehehe. :p
Partly inspired by a Spanish movie I was screening at work the other day.
And I absolutely loathe Lj for screwing up my format once again.
