Comments

[birdonawire]

Can if I want to.

[backinaflash]

...Heh.

[laying on his side, facing you, the chip bag is gone, and my, we're kind of close...]

[birdonawire]

... If I did something really stupid right now, would you blame it on the fever?

That's a request, not a question.

[backinaflash]

I thought you said your fever was gone.

[birdonawire]

Only mostly gone?

[backinaflash]

Okay.

[birdonawire]

Okay. [takes a deep breath] ... Okay.




[after the longest hesitation ever, he crosses that small distance and leans in for a very serious, very awkward kiss]

[backinaflash]

[breath catches a little, even though he was pretty sure this is what you were getting at, thinking about it and having it happen are two really different things]

[birdonawire]

[just... stays there for a few seconds, not moving, and wow this seemed like a way better idea before he actually tried it]

[backinaflash]

[moves his mouth just a tiny bit against yours]

[birdonawire]

[makes a tiny, barely-audible sound, shifting tentatively closer]

[backinaflash]

[quickly discovering that kissing is kinda more awkward than it looks, but doesn't pull away]

[birdonawire]

[this looks so much easier on TV]

[tilts his head a little? is this less bad???]

[backinaflash]

[opens his mouth a little bit against yours]

[birdonawire]

[no no no there's no way this is happening. pulls back a little, flushed and breathing way harder than he ought to be]

Dude, a-are you... you're not...

[words are hard]

[backinaflash]

What?

[birdonawire]

... You're not freaking out.

[backinaflash]

I... I dunno, I guess this is kinda weird and different, but not in a bad way?

[birdonawire]

[moves like he's about to go in for another kiss, but—]

I don't want to take advantage.

[backinaflash]

Take advantage of what?

[birdonawire]

... You? This?

[backinaflash]

I don't feel taken advantage of. Promise.

[birdonawire]

... Okay.

[leans in to kiss you again, then, a little more confidently this time]

[backinaflash]

[it's still pretty awkward, since neither of them have ever kissed anyone before, but less so than the last one]

[birdonawire]

[kind of wishing he'd thought to google kissing tips before he died]
