Summary/Notes/Warnings: An object falls at 9.8 meters per second, multiplied by weight. And even so, Fujitaka couldn't believe how light she was in his arms.

He hadn't gone to school that day expecting to catch the love of his life, but love always does come as a surprise. It had been so quick, an instinctual thing, really--

She weighs nothing, he thought, dazed, as he held her in his arms. Like a model, he thought when he saw her face. She was like a doll, a living doll.

He felt bad when he realized that he liked her, he wanted her, just a little girl skipping into adulthood and he a teacher! What was wrong with him? She smiled and he realized sickly that the feeling might not go away. Ever.

"Are you all right?" he asked, to say something. When she said yes and smiled again, he had to put her down so that he wouldn't do something... dangerous.

The forces of attraction...

She told him her name and he repeated it, letting the syllables each fall off his tongue like a kiss and enjoying every one. Then he repeated it in his head, a little altered. Kinomoto Nadeshiko... now doesn't that just roll off one's tongue? Shame welled up in him but something more exuberant was trying to escape first, bubbly and fun and--

"I thought an angel had fallen from the sky," he said aloud and she giggled and that was it. He was gone, no matter the consequences. The other girl she was with he noticed suddenly--how hard it was suddenly to focus on anyone but Nadeshiko--damn, Amamiya-san--and the girl didn't seem too happy. Maybe a little more mature than Nadeshiko, because she seemed to recognize that look in his eyes.

He could see she feared it, and it was enough to bring back his inhibitions. He accepted Nadeshiko's formal apology--dismissed it, for how would anyone ever stay mad at her?--and watched the two walk away. Possessively the other girl with the severe haircut linked arms with Nadeshiko. She gave him a glare over his shoulder but it slid right off of him. He was desperately wishing that it was he who had her arm, that she would climb another tree that he was underneath, anything--anything to be near her.

But for now, Amamiya Nadeshiko and Kinomoto Fujitaka had to get to class.
