First meeting

"well, additude, dont know... body, when she was checking my head, she leaned on me... lets just say she has developed, or modified, and leave it at that..." i said simply, sighing with irritation "im not into that... i like a quiet girl who likes what i do, and gets that im quiet and shy, and doesnt force things apon me... im the guy that will quietly go shopping with a girlfriend if she asks, but would rather stay inside and spend quiet time with her... im not the dominant one, unless i have to be... girls like you... i like... girls like her... not so much..." i grumbled, drinking another large drink and sighed "wish we had some more of my medication or the herbs to make it..." i said, sitting down next to her

I gently patted his head. "Dont take what im about to say offensively, and dont get mad, but youre very...feminine. In traits and such. But like I said dont get mad at me." I held my arms in a pose of surrender. "I like you and all, but you have to be a little more...assertive, maybe, when it comes to girls like her. Youre a bit...soft."

"im not mad, i cant be when your being honest with me... thats an important thing to me... might be the raging migrane i have, but i have a feeling you heard more than you let on when i slipped and was talking to him... i think you know i like you... so if it was you, you would like me to be more assertive?"

"Heh, youre really bad at keeping secrets." I patted his head again. "But yes, id want you to be more assertive."

"well, since you were kinda blunt about how you feel, can i be blunt as well?" i asked, looking over at her with a slight smile, waiting paitently for her responce

"Well, then, be blunt with her too, so she can stop trying," I said, suddenly mildly serious.

"i love you... not sure how it happened, but you have made me fall for you... time means nothing to me... she may know me more, but i dont care...." i said, darting forward to kiss her forhead

As soon as he kissed my forehead I blushed such a deep hue of red it seemed all the blood in my body had gone to my head and ears. "G-give me a second to think se-straight..." I stammered.

"fine by me.... take your time, ill go check on her, make sure she isnt schemeing to kill you..." i said with a smile, glad she was surprised in the way she was by how i kissed her

I felt a little scared, for some reason. But he's different, you have nothing to fear... He was so nice to me, I wasnt sure why I worried he'd try to use me. I decided that I would let my guard down a little around him. My blush began to fade away as I relaxed.

"...." i came back a couple of minutes later and sighed "shes sleeping, thankfully... but my headphones need to be burned now..." i said with a grumble, sitting next to her "so, how are you doing now?"

"Well, Ive translated quite a bit and wrote everything out so it looks more like a blue print. Still got a long way to go though..."

"i ment you... about how you felt... you seemed like you were having a panic attack when i kissed you..." i said, brushing my hand against her leg

"Oh, Im fine, nothing to worry about here," I answered probably a little too cheerfully.

".... either that happiness is fake, or you really are happy that it happened..." i smiled teasingly

A small part of the blush returned. "Meanie. Youre enjoying this."

"only cause i like being able to make you blush... but if thats how you really feel, i could go back to being quiet and submissive with how i feel..." i said with a chuckle, leaning against the wall now

"Noo, you have to act a little more masculine, which means you cant always be submissive," I sighed.

"seriously... stop sighing... it makes me think ive done something wrong, and that makes me want to retreat..." i said when i heard the sigh again "come on.... either stop being grumpy and take a break, or i will put you on the couch and force you to play a game with me..."

"...Was that supposed to sound mildly questionable?" I asked, trying to keep a straight face, though my blush wasnt helping in letting me look composed. ...Im going to kill myself for asking, but... "What kind of game?"

"i was thinking 20 questions... nothing to far into that... keep in mind, if this developes into anything, you will be my first girlfriend ive ever had on mutual terms... even if i did anything like cuddling or makeouts, i would be terrible at them... besides, im to shy to do anything other than hug and cuddle..." i said with a nervous laugh, turning red at the sheer thought of it being possible for me

I laughed, relieved. "Well, I suppose thats nice, we're on the same page, more or less. But if it develops into anything more, I truly doubt you'll still be shy." I stretched a bit. "Do you still have a really bad headache? I dont think all that blushing is good for you," I teased.

"not as bad, so i can take some leneancies... but trust me, that kiss took alot of willpower on my part...."

"Yeah, I could tell. Its not an everyday thing for you."

"might turn into one...." i said, looking to the side and sighed a little bit "ive been trying to hint it for awhile, and now that SHE is here, i have to tread lightly, so we dont have to put up with her crazy crap when she relizes that i like you back...."
