Chapter Text

V stalked around the room, listening around for odd sounds. V and N were playing hide and seek and V was the seeker.
She heard shuffling coming from the closet in the room and immediately ran over and pulled it open, revealing a surprised N.
"Found you." V said as she caged him against the wall with her arms to prevent his escape.
"That was fast. Good job V!" N said as he looked at her, a smile on his face.
V smirked at him haughtily, "You hid pretty well but I'm just better at seeking."
A moment of silence passed as they looked at each other, their faces an inch away from touching. V unconsciously looked at his lips. His soft, red lips as she wondered what they would taste like. She slowly inched herself forward as though in a trance.
"Hey, V? You can let me out now." N said, startling her out of her thoughts as he turned his head away awkwardly.
"Huh? Oh yeah, yeah." V pushed herself off of N as she realised what she was just about to do. Her face flushed red as N walked out of the closet.

"V? Are you sure this is a good idea?" N asked from behind her as the duo made their way through the empty halls of the school.
"Of course it is you dork! Now cmon. We need to hurry." V lead the was with her flashlight as they made their way into one of the empty classrooms.
"Okay. I'll search over here and you'll search over there." She pointed at the set of tables opposite the entrance.
"Alright V. If you're sure about this." N nervously made his way over to the tables and began rifling through the desks.
V searched through the desks on her side until she found a small notebook titled: 'N's Diary'
V was about to call out for N before she got the odd urge to quickly rifle through the pages. A little peek wouldn't hurt right?
The sound of footsteps in the hallway outside interrupted her thoughts. She quickly pulled a surprised N as they both squeezed under the teacher's desk just as the classroom door opened. A bright flashlight shone across the room as the security guard checked the classroom.
V looked at N who was nervously holding her hand. The space under the desk was barely enough to fit them both and so they had to squeeze.
Their faces were so close to each other. V could feel N's breath on her face as she tried to ignore how warm it felt.
She looked at N's nervous face before focusing on his lips. She had wanted to kiss him for so long but this was probably not the time for a quick make out session. Besides, she didn't even know whether N even liked her. Still, a little peck in the cheek wouldn't hurt right?
V was so lost in her thoughts about N that she didn't notice that the security guard had left. N squeezed out of the desk as V followed suit, slightly dazed from the experience.
"Did you find it?" N whispered at her.
"Obviously." V handed N the notebook and V decided that she could settle for the cute smile on N's face tonight.

V was jealous. There was no doubt about it. The cause? The purple haired girl currently sitting beside N, chatting with him.
Normally, this wouldn't be such a problem. Usually, she could handle her emotions fairly well but the girl seemed to have grown very close with N during the short week in which they were acquainted.
The slight red hue in N's face wasn't helping things either. It was obvious N felt something for her even if it wasn't romantic but she highly doubted it wasn't.
She wanted to pull N aside and kiss him senseless as the purple haired girl (She couldn't be bothered to remember her name) watched. But alas, she could do no such thing so she settled for giving the girl a death glare.

V knocked on the door to N's room lightly. She could hear soft sounds of sniffling from behind it.
Footsteps could be heard as the door opened revealing a disheveled N. His silver hair which was usually already messy was even messier than normal. His eyes were red and puffy from crying most likely and his usual positive demeanour was nowhere to be seen.
"I heard about your dad N." V said as she looked at N, his eyes unwilling to meet hers.
"Then you know he..." N stopped as tears seemed to pool up in this eyes, ready to come pouring out once more.
She pulled her best friend into a tight hug, comforting him. N was shocked before hesitantly hugging her back as the waterworks started once more.
She could hear his sobs and sniffles as he held onto her tightly and she wished she could kiss every single one of those tears off his face.

"Cmon V! I wanna ride the Ferris Wheel!" N said as they made their way through the theme park. The sun was already beginning to set.
V sighed before finally relenting and allowed herself to be pulled by N towards the Ferris Wheel. The line was mercifully short so they were on it in less that 1o minutes.
V looked at N as he excitedly looked out the window, his face lighting up in joy as the carriage ascended.
As the carriage slowly reached the top, N's excitement slowly simmered into a joy filled smile as he watched the sun set beneath the horizon from the top of the Ferris Wheel.
This looked like the perfect moment to kiss him. The atmosphere was just right and everything seemed to line up in her favour.
"Hey N.." She began but was suddenly interrupted by the Ferris Wheel suddenly stopping.
The operator apologised for the problem and it seemed it would take a while to get it moving again.
The last rays of sunlight shone through the window as N turned to look at her, his face awfully red. Perhaps he realised what the situation was like?
She was sure her face mirrored his, but possibly more red.
V slowly stood up from her seat and stood in front of the seated N. Normally, he was slightly taller than her but now he was so short.
She leaned down as N avoided her face, his face beet red. This was it, she was going to do it. She was going to kiss him.
Fate had other plans however as the Ferris Wheel began operation at that exact moment. Ruining the atmosphere completely.
V sat down back on her seat awkwardly as an loaded silence filled the air.
Once the Ferris Wheel reached the bottom, the two scrambled out as fast as they could.
The journey home was as awkward as expected as the two snuck glances at each other. The moment they locked eyes accidentally, they would look away as fast as they could, faces as red as tomatoes.
V laid down on her bed that night as she thought back on the day. Specifically, the almost-kiss. She replayed the moment where she nearly kissed him in her mind over and over until she finally fell into a deep slumber.
