Fix My Mechanical Heart

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "I was lucky. I have quick reflexes and steady eyes."

"Like I said," Mark said as he picked up his fork again. "You use speed to your advantage whenever you can." He went for what was left of Kiora's pasta for another time.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and blocked his fork. "Because that is what my greatest asset." She said, scooping up the pasta and eating it.

 

[grey987]

Mark sighed in defeat, seeing as Kiora was finished. "You win," he mumbled, although not without a smile. "I didn't even get a chance to be more offensive in my approach." He then scooped the last of his pasta up, taking it into his mouth to eat it.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled, giggling as she pressed the fork to her lips. "I know. That's the point of a speed mech. Hard to control, but hard to defeat." She said, smiling at him.

 

[grey987]

"Really?" Mark asked as a smug smile came across his face. "I don't mean to be rude, but that didn't seem to be the case during our last match."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora grunted at him. "Ok, I said I took a risk. I was being cocky, and it ended up with me smacking my forehead on the helmet of my mech alright?"

 

[grey987]

"Alright, alright, I'll lay off," Mark said as he lifted his hands in surrender. He didn't want to end up pissing off Kiora.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded. "Good." She said, smiling at him.

 

[grey987]

Mark returned the smile. "Did I mention how cute your hairstyle is?" he asked as he looked at the two small buns that she'd tied her hair up in. They really did look cute.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and blushed. "Thank you." she whispered, her cheeks pink.

 

[grey987]

Mark laughed. "Your cheeks are beginning to match your hair again," he told her. He assumed that the rest of Kiora's face would follow after that following his comment.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed so dark that her hair and her face could have mixed together, being that they where the same color.

 

[grey987]

"Ha, I knew that was going to happen," Mark chuckled. "I always manage to get you flustered."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed and looked down. "Yeah, you do."

 

[grey987]

Mark continued to smile at her. "You know, part of me wishes that you don't get over it," he said quietly. "It makes you so adorable."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed even darker. "I don't think I ever will at this rate." she mumbled.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled. Luckily, before he could embarrass Kiora any further, they were given the bill and he pulled out his wallet to pay for their meal.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora played with her strands of hair.

 

[grey987]

Having paid for them both, Mark stood up from his seat. "Well, this was nice and all, but now it's time to go back home," he said, moving to the side of the table and extending a hand out to Kiora.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and took his hand, pulling herself up. "I'm fine with that." She whispered to him, leaning on his shoulder.

 

[grey987]

Smiling back at her, Mark led both of them out of the restaurant, pulling the door open with his free hand as they walked back out into the city. The sky was now dark blue, the sun having almost completely set.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and walked out with him into the starry sky, sighing as she looked up. She leaned against his arm, closing her eyes while she enjoyed the cool air and his warmth.

 

[grey987]

"This was a nice night to be going out on," Mark commented as he also looked up at the sky above them both.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded dimly, her arm wrapped around his as they held hands, walking towards their apartment.
