"Ah- y-yeah, I was finguring we would." Arien was still beet red.
"Ah- y-yeah, I was finguring we would." Arien was still beet red.
He breathed out a small sigh of relief. “I’m glad..I was afraid you wouldn’t want to..”
"After what happened in there? My friends would kill me if I didn't…" Arien blushed a bit.
"Still," he said softly, "I… I really did mean it."
He smiled widely. “I’m glad that you do.” He didn’t want to pressure Arien into anything, he couldn’t mess up like he had before.
Arien gave Rafael's hand a gentle squeeze.
"I… actually, about what my friends were saying… about the… k-kiss…"
He raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You want to kiss me?” He asked, just wanting to make sure.
"I-" Arien's face was red, and he hid his face in Rafael's shoulder as they walked. Still, he nodded.
He smiled, doing his best to remain calm. “You can if you want to.”
Arien pulled his head away a bit, looking at Rafael with wide eyes. He came to a stop, holding onto the man's hand.
"I…" he smiled a bit, a bit unbelieving. Still, he raised his second hand to lightly cup Rafael's cheek, leaning forward…
Rafael leaned the rest of the way forward, closing the distance and kissing him softly. And doing his best not to panic or make this a big deal.
Arien closed his eyes as they kissed, pulling away after a moment.
"I-I…" he was grinning like a madman. "That was nice…"
He chuckled softly. “Well I certainly hoped so.” Even now he was trying not to get his hopes up, waiting to make sure Arien wasn’t going to reject him.
Arien stayed in front of Rafael, holding his hand to the man's cheek still.
"Is… is it alright if we do it again?"
He smiled gently. “I think I would like that..” Right now, he pushed the possibility of him getting hurt by this man to the back of his mind. He couldn’t think about that right now.
Arien was grinning still, and he leaned forward, kissing Rafael again. He closed his eyes, one hand wrapping lightly around the human's waist.
Rafael smiled happily. He never wanted this to end. His hand found it’s way to the curve of Arien’s lower back and he pulled him closer.
Arien let out a soft sound of content, melting into Rafael's hold a bit.He tilted his head just a touch, his hand going from Rafael's cheek to the back of his head.
Rafael grinned. After a few more seconds, he pulled away. “Do we want to head back home?” He asked, hoping Arien didn’t take it in a weird way.
Arien felt his lips with one finger, smiling.
"Yeah…" he said softly. He wanted some alone time with Rafael. He moved to the man's side, taking his hand.
He smiled, gently squeezing Arien’s hand as they began to walk back home. He couldn’t believe this was real.
Arien couldn't either, not really. He was grinning like a madman, leaning his head on Rafael's shoulder as they headed back home.
Rafael hummed softly as they walked back, enjoying this moment where they could be alone. “Are we almost there?” He asked.
"Almost," Ariean said softly. He was still in a bit of amazement that Rafael and he… were actually like this. He turned, bringing Rafael down the walk to the front of the house.
(Wouldn't it be a shame if)
(Elliot showed up)
(At the house)
(Before them)
((That would be a shame))
(a crying shamebut our new friend was in a world of pain)
((Lol))
He let Arien guide him back towards the house. He couldn’t stop smiling.
Arien opened the door when they reached it, looking over at Rafael with a grin. He looked in the house though, and stiffened.
"Why are you here?"he growled.
“Arien?” He asked softly, not sure what was happening.
