Lost In A Daydream (OPEN)

[Deleted]

Kit walked with a bounce in her step. She’d started her day with tough training. Then a leisurely soak in the heated baths. The weather was just fine, but she was wearing one of her favorite scarves because why not? It was a fashion statement. The only fashion she could actually agree with. Her red hair blew in the light breeze, clashing horribly with her red light sweater. She had a tangerine in her hands as she peeled the skin off, tossing the pieces into the field beside the via. Tangerine peels were compostable, they’d be fine. Add nutrients to the soil. She popped the first slice in her mouth and chewed as the juice burst out and brought a smile to her face.

She vaguely wondered where Kenshin might be at this moment. Probably training. He was a really good fighter. Very skilled. And looked really good in a kimono, as she’d discovered on Valentine’s Day. And he was very romantic! She smiled to herself as she remembered their wonderful day together, then popped another piece of tangerine in her mouth. He was a good guy. In fact, he taught her that there were heroes in the world. Sure, you heard about them in the ancient stories, but those stories came from so long ago. Ken, though, he was a hero. Forget suits of armor and white horses. Apparently real heroes wore kimonos and lived in Roman camps.

Completely lost in thought, her ungraceful self tripped on a big rock and she made a fool of keeping herself from falling. She turned and glared at the rock as though it had insulted her. Then let out a short breath and kept walking, this time keeping her mind out of the clouds. Gods, she hoped no one had seen that.

It had been a very good day to train, maybe he wasn't a centurion anymore, but he was proving his cohort mates that he wasn't the bad element that some of them might think he was. He would become a centurion again he was sure of that, he only needed to be patient and make his way up there again with hard work, as always. He also wanted Kit to be proud of him, demoted wasn't something to be proud of, so... well he would be Centurion again soon. After that nice training session he went to the baths and take off the dirt and mud from his armor and body.

The baths always allowed him to relax and think, but the moment where he really had the chance to think on the way he had fought in a training was when he meditated. It wasn't usual to see a son of Mars meditating, but because of his Pax heritage and also because of... well the way his mind worked, he needed to meditate, to find the peace inside him and use it in his common day life. If not he used to be way too competitive and that wasn't good for anyone. But there he also examined all the strategies he used and the effectiveness of each of them, running them in his head as he meditated.

After meditating he decided that it would be good to go to look for any of his siblyngs, well... maybe Charlie or Remus, he needed to talk to them about the way that his Mars mind was working recently. the past months he was feeling more and more... well Mars child, not even the meditations were giving him the peace of heart he needed, and he needed to know if it was only him or did it happen to all Mars kids.

Suddenly as he was walking down the Via, he saw a beautiful red haired girl tripping over a stone. He was about to laugh, which was one of the things he needed to control of himself, but then he saw the scarf flying over her head, he frowned and connected points, so he jogged to get to the place where she was. His mind worked well, it wasn't just any red haired one, it was Kit, the girl that always brought peace to his heart, the only one that made him really find peace in the war inside his heart.

"I hope you won that battle" he said and smiled at her hoping she didn't think he was mocking at her, in fact was a compliment... well in his head it was.

I hope you won that battle.

She blushed bright red at the familiar voice. She had hoped so hard that no one saw her misstep. Of course it was the only person whose opinion meant anything to her that had seen it! She knew he was joking. Ken was far to kind to her to ever be hurtful. Entirely! She bit her lip and then summoned her courage and faced him. As usual, his face brought her to all smiles. She teasingly smacked him with the fluffy end of her scarf. “Of course I did. Did you expect any different?” She laughed, then hugged him quickly. “How are you, Ken? You read my mind or something? Because I’m pretty sure I was just thinking about you.”

She broke off part of her tangerine and offered it to him. “Try this. It’s a cutie. Or is it a halo. I don’t really know. They look exactly alike and they’re both delicious.” She took another piece off and ate it. “Totally delicious.” She tugged the scarf a little closer and took a moment to admire him. He truly was amazing. She loved him so dearly. She reached out, out of necessity to her soul, and gently stroked his cheek, just to feel his warmth at her fingertips. She loved that feeling. “Tell me about your day. Are you headed somewhere?”

She quite honestly hoped the answer to that question was a no and maybe a let’s hang out seeing as she was head over heels for this man. Anything for just five minutes with him. To see his smile. To hear his voice. Abslutely anything. Well, within reason. She respected him so highly that she would sooner go days without him than she would force herself upon him. No, he meant too much for her to do something like that. In fact, he quite meant the world.
