Was this what insomnia felt like?
Madeleine couldn't sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, her thoughts made her open them again.
It was late, Will was presumably with Anton - and she had no idea where Kira was. She'd be worried if she didn't have her own (slightly mundane) things to worry about.
Was Lee mad at her? She'd been trying to explain their argument, but she actually had no idea what was going on. It wasn't like them to argue like that - Lee didn't seem to have much of a temper, and generally, Madeleine knew better than to lose hers. Only Levi was irritating her with his stalking, and she couldn't get angry, jealous thoughts of Chloe out of her head.
It would drive her mad.
Suddenly, the door to the dorm opened quietly, without even a creak.
Madeleine sat up. "Kira?" she hissed into the darkness. "Is that you?"

Lee had taken Kira flying once around their street. She remembered it well- that strange swoop of the stomach as they flew through the sky, spinning and turning and free-wheeling through clouds. It was one of the most terrifying, yet exhilirating experiences of her life. All she could do was cling onto Lee and hope beyond hope that they'd land together, safe, and sound and laughing.
After her mother banned her from flying, Kira thought she'd never get to feel like that again.
She'd kissed Deron.
The words flared within her, and she savoured them. The memory of his lips against her's was so vivid she felt it would be burned into her mind forever- etched on the inside of her skull. Mock it all you want- there was no denying there was something... something amazing behind it...
Pushing her dorm door opened, she crept quietly into the darkness, hoping not to wake anyone... to get into bed and dream- well, dream all sorts of-
"Kira?" came a faint hiss through the darkness. "Is that you?"
Darn.
Kira sighed, then tiptoed over to Madeleine's bed, kicking her shoes off as she did so. "Hey," she said softly, flopping down beside her. "I don't think anyone's in here but you and me."

"No," Madeleine whispered, moving to make room for Kira. "Why are you so late?"

Sieze the day...
"I was with Deron," Kira grinned.
And why shouldn't she grin? She had nothing to hide. She should just be open- honest- embrace the life around her.
"Is it late?" she asked suddenly. "Oh, it is. Have you been worried? I'm sorry!"

Right now, Madeleine was cursing the darkness, wishing that she could see Kira's face.
"It's fine," she said, dismissively, looking at Kira's outline, trying to see her expression. "What were you doing until this time of night?!"

"Talking," Kira laughed. "Just talking. And then..."
She paused, savouring the moment, and the words that were about to fall forth. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
"We kissed."

Madeleine clapped her hands to her mouth to stop the scream of glee coming from her mouth.
"You.. what?" she exclaimed in a whisper. "Oh my word, Kira!"
Oh, how much did she wish she could see her face now?

Kira laughed. "I told you! No-one else is here! You don't have to whisper."
Perhaps Madeleine was under the impression it was later than it was. Okay, it was late, but not late enough you had to go to bed- yet. Had Madeleine gone to bed early or something?
"Anyway... yeah," she felt herself blush, and bit her lip. "We... kissed."
Wow it felt good saying that.

"What time is it?" Madeleine asked, frowning and lifting her watch from the bedside table. "Oh... I thought it was later than that."
It felt like it was later. She'd gone to bed early after taking a paracetemol for a headache, and as she couldn't sleep, it felt like much later than it actually was.
She shrugged. "Oh. Well, how did that one come about?"

"I told you," Kira sighed. "We were just talking about... um... stuff and he was explaining something to me and... it just happened."
Wasn't that nice?

Madeleine leaned over and searched for the bedside lamp. When her fingers finally found the switch, and after the temporary blindness, she looked at the smiling, happy Kira.
"And how was it?" she asked, sitting up straight and pullling the brightly coloured patchwork throw around her.

"Wet," replied Kira, truthfully.
She'd always wanted to say that...

Madeleine laughed - she couldn't help it. "Is that all you have to say?"

"Great," grinned Kira. "It was... great."

Madeleine bit her lip, suddenly feeling an odd feeling in her stomach, suddenly reminded of the argument.
"That's really great Kira," she said softly. "That's really great."
Then, she blinked, waking back up to reality.
"So does this mean that I get to meet him?"
