.:~The awkwardness~:.

They stayed in the moment of Bliss for a minute or two before they stepped away from each other, still close enough to let their arms rest on the other's hips or lower back.

They both suddenly drew away from each, sharp, quick motions.

"Did that just...?" The blonde asks.

"I think so..." Matt replies.

"And did anyone...?" Dom questions, becoming a little anxious.

"Not anyone we know... I think..." Matt answers, though unsure himself.

"So should we...? Should this be...? Can we even class it as...? " Dom says, his words beginning to pick up speed.

"I don't think we should... It's a little unconfirmed... I just needed to tell you something... Guess I showed you instead..." Matt mumbles awkwardly.

They were trying to decide on what to do. If Matt's mind could pace to and fro in thought, it was doing it now.

-Dating? Nah. We've only explained how we felt for each other, nothing more. Right? Or is it? I'd love to think... I am thinking... Stop it, Matt! Being pernickety will get you nowhere! You'd love to think...? Right, yeah. I'd love to think that I could be dating him. It'll complicate maaaany things if we carried this on... Maybe I should tell him it was a mistake? Yeah, because that would work... Just make sure this is secret I guess...-

Whilst Matt made a smile once in a while to Dom to hide what was really going on in his head via facial expression, Dom was simply staring at Matt with wide green-grey eyes.

-I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him... 'CAUSE OUR LOOOOVE! IS FOREEEEVVERRRRRR! AND IF WE DIEEEEEEEEE! WE DIE... TOOOGEEEETHEEEEERRRR! Hmm... That sounded like something that Matt might sing. One day I'll inform him of these words! They'd do well on some sort of lovey-dovey movie... About us... Stop it Brain!-

Dominic suddenly snapped back to reality and shook his head, stepping backwards awkwardly. This awoke Matt too from his thoughts and he mirrored the Blondes actions. Until Dom fell over.

"Ouch! Son of a-" Dom whined, grimacing with his eyes closed whilst he lay on the dry grass beside the concrete pathway. Lucky he had fallen sideways or he would have hit his head straight on the cold, cemented ground beside him. He grumbled in annoyance of the embarrassing fact that he tripped and how much pain he was now in.

Matt instantly reacted to Dom tripping backwards though when he stretched out his arm, he only managed to scratch the surface of the blonde's leather jacket with his blunt nails. He winced in sympathetic pain as his friend made a large thumping noise when his body collided with the hardened mud. Winter had caused the ground to provide everything but a soft landing...

Dom rolled slightly onto his side, relieving some of the pain on his back Whilst Matt crouched beside him. He let his elbows rest on his knees; his hand dangled between his legs. "You alright there, Dom?"

"Do I look alright..." Dom muttered, giving a smile to show it was light-humoured.

Matt used the humour, grinning a little as he came out with his joke. "Well you have mud on your jacket but other than that... Wonderful!" He exclaimed.

"I always look wonderful..." Dom grumbled with his second, humorous reply. After that, he sat up and examined himself, dusting off some dry crumbs of dirt from his back before standing.

Matt rose with him, smiling in both that humour of Dom falling over and the humour the blonde had used in reply. Suddenly, both their smiles, Dom's being subtle, fell into a frown.

"What do we tell Chris?" Dom asked quickly.

"Nothing." Matt blurted out, considering what he had said and finally agreeing completely with the idea.

"You mean never tell him? What if it progresses further then this kiss and into a relationship!" Dom said, clamping his mouth with his hand as the realisation hit him on what he had just said. "I didn't mean to say- It's only if you- Just forget I even said that! Ugh, I can be so thick sometimes...!" Dom said, grumbling the last few words under his breath. "I need to go home and do my ironing!" He said loudly, turning himself sharply on the heel of his shoe and racing off with one hand over his forehead. "I need to lie down..."

In the meantime, Matt was staring dumbfounded after Dom. The breeze pushed against him lightly as he stood there, trying to understand the thoughts that raced too quickly round his head.

-Ah, Dom. You do make me laugh. It's what I love about you! I mean adore- I mean- I didn't- That wasn't- I hadn't- What if- No that's- Oh shit! ...I love him! RED ALERT! RED ALERT! Red can stand for love... Oh for fu- GOD DAMMIT IT BRAIN! WHY DO YOU WORK THAT WAY?-
