It took awhile for the heart in Hypnos' chest to stop pounding as hard as it did. How could it not? Sailor Ixion had kissed her! Her fingertips lingered over her lips as she looked at the phone in her other hand. He didn't just kiss her, he stole her first kiss! She didn't know what to do and she didn't know how to feel. She thought they were just friends but what did this all mean? She knew Ixion liked her but he like liked her? Did she like like him? Icy blue eyes filled with confusion over it as she began pressing buttons on her phone until the right contact came up.
Under her contacts, Hypnos scrolled down to the C section. Just under Bellatrix and just above Cora was the contact Columba. Her eyes looked between the three of them with hesitation for a second. She needed to talk to someone and between the three of them there was one person she would want to tell. Sure, Bellatrix was older and experienced but she was also her sister and Hypnos wasn't ready to spill her guts over something so embarrassing to her. Bellatrix wouldn't understand! Cora definitely wouldn't understand. Columba probably knew exactly what to do!
Fingers moving with an unsteady hand from the nervous jittering, Hypnos took a lot longer to type such a short sentence than it normally would. After finishing, she looked at the sentence for another minute with more hesitation. Should she send it? Would this solve anything? Her heart beat nervously in her chest as it reminded her of the events that had just occurred. Summoning all her strength, Hypnos pressed send.

Hypnos stared at the screen, direly waiting for a reply. Time seemed to pass by so slowly and soon enough she switched out of the texting screen to check what time it was. She couldn't believe it! What felt like an hour had only been several minutes! It felt like it was so much longer! It seemed like forever! It hadn't been long at all, although the quiver in her touch as her hand fell over her chest told another story. It might not have been a long time but it was long enough for her to begin thinking about Ixion lying on the grass just yonder and kissing her.
A soft blush fell over her face. Hands raising from her chest to her face and quickly she began to shake her head as if she could shake the thoughts right out of there. It was impossible! The harder she shook, the more she thought about the events that had occurred. Why would he... why did he... what did it mean? Her eyes focused on the spot in the grass where the two of them had been and she closed her eyes tight. It had only been a couple seconds after that she opened them, sensing a power signature nearby.
Worried, Hypnos got up off the grass and migrated to a location more hidden and definitely not in view of the spot he kissed her at. It was totally a precaution though. It definitely was not simply to escape what had happened. How could she ever hope to escape it? Her heart reminded her with every beat.
She paced back and forth with the phone in hand as she waited, pleading with it for a message to appear until finally Columba replied.

Hypnos read the message.
Hypnos read the message again.
Immediately Hypnos' fingers released their hold on the phone and it fell to the ground as she fell back against a tree, her arms hugging against her chest. Her slightly red face from earlier was full on cherry as she relived Ixion's kiss over and over in her mind. Her eyes stared at the screen that glowed softly on the grass by her feet before it dimmed and then lit up again to signify another message had arrived.

She was staring at the screen but she wasn't reading the words that spread across it. No, Hypnos was back in time to the earlier events of this night. The kiss. She could not escape it and neither could she Columba's question. Is that what he wanted to do? Did he... would he...? Hypnos immediately thought back to the events and found herself practically spinning. His tongue? Would he? What would he do with it? In her mouth? Oh dear! Hypnos felt like her face was burning as another message flashed across the screen.
She cried out softly as her knees felt weak, causing her feet to lose their footing. Her back began to slide down the surface of the tree until she hit the ground with a light thump. It didn't hurt but she couldn't stop herself from crying. Did this all mean Ixion wasn't her friend anymore? She didn't want that! Did this mean she and Ixion were dating? She wasn't ready for that! She didn't even know if she like liked him yet! Why did this have to be so confusing? What if the next time they met he wanted to use tongue?! Hypnos face cried out all new shades of red until she finally just laid on the grass beside the phone.
Phone in reach now, Hypnos slowly moved her hand over to it and slid it across the grass until it was close enough that she could read the screen. There were a couple of unread messages there and they were all from Columba. Given the first message she had read, Hypnos was almost worried about what the new ones said. She hesitated, fearing the worst. What if they were even worse than the first one? She couldn't just ignore them though. Giving into her morals through her embarrassment, Hypnos read the last messages.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
