His chest rose and fell heavily with every breath that he took, the grin upon his lips and the laughter not helping him catch his breath even a little bit. He was aware that she'd rolled off of him and so he turned his head to the side smiling brightly at Scarlett, "'Lo," he laughed quietly, "welcome to the floor, it's cold and just so happens to make your butt numb after a while.." How did he know? Well, how do you think he knows? He's been sitting on the cold stone for a while now.

Scarlett grinned at her best friend, noting how cute he was from this angle [[did I already say that last time? too lazy to check ..]]. "Ah, yes, the evil butt-numb-er that we call the floor." She didn't move into a sitting position, but stayed laying down next to him. "You know," she said conversationally, glancing at him, "This position gives me an awfully good view of your lovely face." She laughed at her own corniness and then noticed that a window appeared near them. "Look!" she exclaimed, latching onto his arm. "I can see the moon from here! Oh, it's so beautiful!"

He grinned brightly, taking the compliment with ease. Though there was a slight flush at his cheeks that made him seem ever so slightly embaressed about it. "You say i have a large ego and still you insist on inflating it ever more with pretty compliments," he pointed out, looking pleased none the less, "I return the compliment whole heartedly, 'cept with the word 'lovely' replaced by 'beautiful'," the blush upon his cheeks deepened ever so slightly, not really noticable unless you looked closely. He wasn't used to giving compliments, nor recieving them, in that respect he was actually very shy.
"Huh..?" He blinked, rolling the back of his head against the stone floor to look up out of the window she was referring to, a smile gracing his lips almost immediately, "Oh yea.. And the stars, stars are beautiful too.."

Scarlett didn't blush like Chase, but she smiled at him and scooted closer to her friend. "There's a difference," she said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "It's not egotistical when I give you a compliment, because it's me, and you love me." She grinned, and accepted his compliment with a large smile and a cute little laugh. "Haha, Chase, thank you. I'm tempted to accuse you of lying, but I'll take any compliments I can get."
She turned back to look out the window. "Yeah, stars are nice," she said. "Have you ever wished on a star?"
She could not honestly believe that she was sitting in a random room, looking at some of the most romantic sights she'd ever seen, exchanging compliments with her best friend [and not her boyfriend - she hoped Kakashi wouldn't walk in for a long, long time...].

His smile spread into a grin, he looked pleased once again, "yea, i love you," he told her chirpily, meaning it in the 'friendship' kind of way. He might have a crush on Scarlett but he didn't love her, not in that way just yet. He'd been told he couldn't fall in love at his age anyway, his mum had once told him it wasn't possible. Obviously, being stupidly gullible, he'd believed her. "I never lie," he laughed suddenly, his lips coming into contact briefly with her cheek, "never, ever. I'm a good boy like that see," he added with a cheeky smile upon his face, "honest."
He looked back out of the window, his arm crossing over his stomach so his hand landed upon her forearm, "yea, plenty of times.. I'm still waiting for some of 'em to come true." He didn't seem down about the fact they hadn't come true yet, there was still that little ray of hope in his voice, a small spark within his eyes that hadn't quite gone out yet, "what about you? Have you ever made a wish upon a star?"

Scarlett grinned at Chase, her smile expanding more than before. "I love you too, Chase," she said, giggling and meaning it in the friendship way also. She did have a crush on him .. but, yeah. There you go.
When he kissed her cheek, she actually, well, blushed. She didn't expect him to really do that, and it surprised her. "Ha, I believe you then," she said, a little quieter than before as her hand involuntarily touched the spot where his lips had touched it. "You're such a good boy." She was still laughing though, not shattering their jokey banter.
"Actually," she said, "I have wished on stars. Like you, some of them have yet to come true, but others have. I find it's a very good way to get your emotions out, you know. Talking to stars." She smiled, and put her hand over his slightly hesitantly.

His grin brightened even more so as a blush appeared ehr cheeks as well, at least now he didn't feel so silly for blushing earlier, "And proud of it," he added, sounding pleased with himself, "being a good boy ain't so bad, nor's having a mind that isn't in the gutter," referring to Farren here.. Some boy he'd met who had managed to twist everything he said to make some innuendo out of it, "innocence is waaay underrated," he couldn't help but laugh, Chase isn't innocent as such, but he won't take advantage of situations. Not as much as some other people might anyway o.0
His smile grew slightly softer as she placed her hand above his but he said nothing of it, "i've never tried speaking to the stars, i just wish on them.." But then again he's always been pretty open to other people about things going on in his life. Good things anyway, todwell on negative events is bound to make anybody depressed. So he tends not to.. Simple really..

((Mwuahaha...I shall ruin your day...))
Kakashi quietly opened a secret door he usually went through for some quietness. Today, he was tired and wanted some peace. Before he went throught the door to his secret corridor, he heard murmuring. Kakashi pulled out his wand and opened the door making it creak ever so slightly. He tip-toed inside and saw what he least expected.
Kakashi's face flushed red. Something inside him urged him to rip Chase apart. His brow furrowed as Chase and Scarlett lie next to each other. They obviously weren't asleep. What the hell are they doing? he thought angrily to himself.
After a while of observing, his breathing slowed down. Kakashi placed his wand back in his pocket and turned back out, his robes billowing after him.

Scarlett smiled at Chase. There was an impending feeling in her gut that this was wrong; that it should be Kakashi, her boyfriend laying next to her, and not Chase, her best friend .. but then, why did laying near him feel so, err, right? It was corny but it was true. "Yeah, people who have their minds in the gutter are laaaame," she said, pouting. "I'm not a statue for people to ogle, I'm a woman." She blushed again. "Sorry, I've just been treated like eye candy for far too long."
Scarlett giggled, and tightened her hold on his hand, lightly stroking his fingers with her thumb. "Well, yeah, okay, I've never really had a conversation with a star either," she confessed, the entire thing sounded silly. But she could be silly around Chase. She smiled again.
However, she thought she heard a door creaking open and out of the corner of her eye, she saw an image of Kakashi billowing out of sight. She sighed deeply, turning back to look at Chase. He always made her smile ...

[[In Chase's defense, he doesn't know that Scarlett and Kakashi were an item! Heh, just thought i'd let ya'll know before you murder him in his sleep ^^]]
"Being treated as Eye Candy is better than being treated as an Eye Sore," he replied with the smallest of chuckles, "And i guess i know how you feel a little, just 'cos i *apparently* have a pretty face i'm thought to be as dum as," his chuckled progressed to quiet laughter, "people shouldn't label other people all the time, makes 'em look stupid themselves.. And slightly ignorant." He was going to move off of this subject, he could moan about it for ages if he wanted to. It would be much better to move on.
"I had a conversation with a squirrel once," he stated randomly, the thought just occuring to him, "but then that's a living thing.." It had been sat in the tree he was lazing under, he had been bored, seemed like a cleverthing to do at the time.
The sound of a door creaking (those House Elves weren't doing their job properly if they weren't oiling the hinges) startled Chase and he raised his head just in time to see somebody going out of the room. He was too late to see the person's face, he just caught the image of their robes, "who was that?"

Scarlett nodded at him, listening to what he was saying. She was going to comment, but the next thing he said was so incredibly random and unexpected that she could tell he was desperate to get off the subject, as much as she wanted to tell Chase that he was most definitely NOT an eye sore.
"Squirrels are cute," she said idly. "I've talked to one before too. His name was Potato." Wow, if Chase didn't think she was odd before, he must now. "We met at a camping trip one time."
At his next question, Scarlett sighed deeply. "That .. was Kakashi," she said. "He .. err .. wants to kill you. And probably me, too. He's had enough of us hanging out. At least, that's pretty much what he said last night when we broke up."
Tears threatened to sting her eyes again, because she had lost a best friend along with a boyfriend, and she hoped Chase couldn't see .. but he probably could. Now she just looked like an idiot.

"Potatoe the squirrel," he laughed, seeming more amused than anything else. There wasnothing like just relaxing someplace and chatting, Chase was prone to do this more than run around like some idiot anyway.. Chase was actually quite proud of the fact that he could make decent conversation when he wanted to. "I didn't name my squirrel, all the names i come up with are stupid, i didn't want to offend it because then it'll just run away.. That would have been sad." Not that the squirrel hadn't run away anyway...
"Kakashi? Erm... Why didn't he jo- " He stopped, slightly startled by her words, "he wants to kill me? Why the heck does he wanna do that for? And since when were you dating?" He turned his head to Scarlett and immediatly stopped speaking, stopped asking all of the questions that he wanted to ask her. Even in the dim lighting he could see her eyes beginning to glaze over with unshed tears. It made him frown for a split second before he gently squeezed her hand, a small comfort that he could offer as the frown disappeared to be replaced by a small smile, "Hey.. It'll be alright, Kakashi isn't the type of guy to hold a grudge right? I'm sure it's a misunderstanding on his part... It'll be alright, i promise." He'd said the 'P' word. He always did that, mostly because he can't stand his friends being upset in any way, shape or form, he'll do anything to make them feel better, "I'm not a girl.. But i can pretend to be a girl's ultimate girlfriend for a while if you want? I'm a good listener ^^"

[wow, this is a strange conversation ..]
Scarlett glanced at Chase. "Squirrels don't get offended, silly," she said, as though everybody in the universe should have been aware of that. "If they did, I'm sure that Potato would have been mad at me. He was a good fellow. At least, until he met Tomato, his new girlfriend. Luckily, that was the day I left the campsite. But I wrote him once. I don't know why he never answered." As you can see, Scarlett isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box. She was enjoying the conversation about squirrels probably more than what was healthy.
She felt his hand squeeze hers reassuringly and she tried to smile. But even looking at him wouldn't work. "Well, I don't think he wants to kill you," she admitted. "I think he's more angry with me. I don't know. I've always been closer to guys than girls, and guys make better friends, so I'm just used to acting the way I do with you, to all my guy friends." Well, okay, that wasn't necessarily true and she knew it. She had a crush on Chase, but he really didn't need to be aware of that right now. "Jsfdbfbdkfbjfd," she said, or .. well .. that was what came out, a least. "And Chase? I don't want you to act like a girlfriend," she said, finally cracking a smile. "Please, stay a guy." xD

[[just a little ^^]]
"They do get offended! Specially if you steal their nuts, they're like ravage dogs if you do that. Squirrels have a license to kill, mostly because they kill so rarely and it's too much of a bother to track each killer squirrel down..." He sighed heavily, sounding slightly exasperated, "the government are far too easy on those squirrels, i swear." I mean, the government don't even have the squirrely deaths on the News, the country's really lacking in security ¬_¬
"Then it is a mistake on his part," he told her, sounding more convinced than he had a moment ago, "i can always tell him that there's nothing going on between us. I mean, he has no right to be mad at you cos we've done nothing wrong, no rules have broken at all..." And believe Chase, he has the little rulebook of relationships and everything.... Well... He hasn't, but he could easily guess what it says inside it!
He beamed at her, glad that he'd at least made her smile a little, "Mmkay, to tell the truth i wasn't too keen on putting pigtails in my hair and lip gloss on, so i'm glad you're letting me stay a guy."

Scarlett nodded enthusiastically. "I agree," she said. "Let's start a petition for those killer squirrels. Potato was the only nice one I've ever met. There was another who hated me so much that I didn't even want to name him! He threw a nut at me." She pouted.
Scarlett looked at Chase momentarily. "No," she said. "I don't want you having to reassure him that we don't do anything. I told him that we're just best friends, and if he doesn't believe me, then maybe we shouldn't be together." Was it wrong that Chase's name popped up into her head instead of Kakashi's when she thought of the word 'together'? Ew, she wasn't rebounding, was she? No .. she liked Chase before, too. A smile then appeared on her face. "Pigtails? Oh, please. Not even my little sister wears pigtails, Chasey poo."
