[Yoshi]

My brain stops working for a while as I try to understand what happened. I see Mario near me, his eyes closed, and his lips touching mine. Is... Is this a kiss? Is Mario really doing this? Am I just hallucinating? Or dreaming?

It doesn't matter to me. I'm going to savour this moment.

My lips follow the movements his make. The world around me disappears, and I'm only able to see the two of us. We keep up with it, our lips dancing with each other in a marvellous feeling. We begin moaning in pleasure, and I could tell Mario was enjoying this as much as I was. My heart is beating so fast it feels like it's going to explode. Even if it did, it wouldn't matter to me. I would've died happy.

After a bit, we break off, gasping for air. Even though we spent about a minute kissing, I still think it barely lasted. We look at each other with pure passion. An immensurable happiness washes over me and I could flutter jump out of the planet, but I don't; Mario likely wouldn't be able to follow me into space.

"Yes, Yoshi. I love you as well." He tells me.

"Am... Am I dreaming?" I ask.

"If you are, I am too." Mario wraps his arms around my neck, bringing himself closer to me.

"I don't want to wake up, then."

"Who said we have to, Sunshine?"

I giggle. Our heads approach again, slowly, and we start another kiss. I'm euphoric at this point. That was the best feeling I've ever experienced in my life, and I think it will be for a long, long time...

Me and Yoshi begin another kiss. I forget about all my worries as his mouth pushes against mine. I have to tilt my head a bit due to Yoshi's nose being in the way, but it doesn't matter to me, nothing else matters other than being with him right now. We continue for another minute. Oh Grambi, what a perfect sensation this is. We finish our kiss regularly this time. I wanted, craved more, and I could see in his eyes that Yoshi did as well. He has a perfectly innocent smile in his face, which is quite possibly the cutest thing ever, as he begins to scratch the back of his head.

"That was my first kiss ever... How does it compare to your other ones?"

I giggle a bit, and he looks at me, confused. "I think it's my time to confess something to you... That was my first kiss as well."

Yoshi looked dumbfounded.

"You're telling me the great hero of the land, Super Mario, never kissed anyone?"

"He he, suprised? I'm always the one to get kissed, not the one to kiss."

"Not bad for two first timers, huh? But don't you think we could do even better?"

I dip him a bit, and he lets out a squeal.

"Yes."

We began again. This will go down as one of the happiest memories I'll ever have. My mind was made, and I did not regret my decision a single bit.

We stop again.

"That's enough for now, sweetheart."

"Who said that's enough?" Yoshi jokingly says.

"I did. Let's not exaggerate.."

"Awww, fine then..."

I can't help myself and begin laughing. It is absolutely adorable seeing Yoshi in love.

"So what do you wish to do?"

"We can go inside and chat. What about it?"

"Well, first I think you should finish gathering those papers."

Yoshi turns around, not knowing what I was talking about. He notices a few of his letters flying away due to the wind.

"OH CRUD! Come back here, all of you!" He yells, running after the papers. I follow him, laughing even harder.

A few minutes later, we're both inside his house. I'm waiting on a couch as Yoshi does something in the kitchen. I examine the house around me. I remember when this was just a fireplace and a mailbox under a few trees, and now it looks just like a regular house. It still has a jungle-ish air, due to the tribal decoration around.

Yoshi came back, carrying two mugs. He hands me one, saying it's tea. I take a sip and feel refreshed.

"What tea is it?"

"Koopa tea."

"Pretty tasty." I say, as I begin to chug down the liquid. Most people would consider this rude, but by the time I finished my cup, Yoshi had already finished his. This is one of the things I like about hanging out with him. It's nice being able to eat as much as I want to without anyone judging me.

"So... What are we going to do now?"

"Huh?"

"About our relationship."

"It's official?"

"I'm pretty sure we became a couple after our kiss." I answer, giggling. Yoshi laughs back, a bit embarassed.

"Sorry. I find it hard to believe this is all really happening."

"Me too. But since all of this is real... How are we going to tell everyone?"

Yoshi's gaze locks forward, as if he was thinking.

"I... don't know." He finally says, and it's then we realize we have no idea what to do next.

"We can't keep this a secret, Yoshi. Everyone should know."

"I know, I know! I just don't know where to start."

"This isn't going to be easy..." I say, disappointed and resting my face in my arms.

Yoshi wraps his arm around my shoulder and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't get so desperate now, Mar-Mar. We're going to work this out. I promise you."
