Chapter 5: A very forward Buizel

Breaking through the surface of the water we were greeted by a carpet of black sky sparkling with hundreds of thousands of stars. The night had arrived and the half crescent moon began to peak above the mountains in the distance. Removing the small re-breather from my mouth I I took a lung full of night air. Breathing out a small yet thick mist of air I glanced at Buizel who seemed to be fascinated with being able to see his breath of air. My eyes seemed to meet his as we looked to each other and I found myself staring as if memorized by his hypnotic glare. His eyes seem to reflect the small glimmering light of the stars, making those beautiful eyes glitter. I could not believe what I was thinking, I felt like I was starting to crush on him, which was silly, wasn't it? I noticed he had not looked away, and it looked as though he was arguing with himself.

Afraid that my staring at him was making uncomfortable I looked away for a moment, t break the stare before looking back. That was when I noticed Buizel looking away, blushing lightly, unaware I'd returned my gaze. I couldn't believe he was blushing nor that he blushed deeper when he realized I had returned my gaze. I knew Buizel was not shy, but that just helped me to figure the true reason for blushing was it really possible that Buizel returned the feelings I'm starting to have for him, and if so how long has he. The thought of Buizel and myself having those feeling for one another was quickly interrupted by the feel of his paw against my hand. I looked at him as he glanced every where else trying to hide the fact he was blushing more, it didn't work.

Keeping hold of my hand, he was being very forward and I could feel his nerves take hold, he shook all through out. Yet I didn't move my hand, in fact I closed my fingers around his paw shaking as badly as he. Turning his head, he looked at me when he realized his sudden forwardness had paid off, I was looking to the surface, but couldn't hide my smile, try as I might. I knew now that he ha feelings for me and that I, in some way returned them, I was not however ready for Buizel's feelings went. He let me know though by the use if his twin tip tails. I felt them brush lightly against my lower leg and move slowly up my inner thigh. I jumped from the sensitive touch of his tails against my groin and let go of his paw, shock on my face. Buizel looked disappointingly sad which made me feel bad, being I did not mean to reject him so strongly, if at all.

"I'm sorry Bui, for reacting so, it's just those feelings I have for you..." I paused thinking hard on how to put this. I once more took hold of his paw to reassure him I still have those feelings.

"Bui?" He leaned forward asking me to continue.

"They're confusing and I need time to work through them before..." I couldn't think of the word, but Buizel took my hand more firmly, squeezing. Letting me know I didn't need to finish. "So you understand right Buizel?" He nodded smiling. "Ok."

Grinning, I decided to change the subject or at least do something that would loose some of the tension. Cupping my other hand into the water I splashed Buizel, immediately he began to laugh and as he pulled away he dived under the water's surface. In doing so he splashed me with his tails. As he peeked his head out of the water behind me I turned cupping water and launched it at him, but he dived before it struck. We did this for a good fifteen minutes with me trying to splash him and Buizel doing a better job, using his tails to splash me. We finally headed out, the tension from earlier practically gone and both of us smiling although the cold was almost painful, like needles. My re-breather, completely empty fell from my mouth and was gone.

The temperature had not got any warmer with the setting of the sun which sped up the grabbing of my clothes, that I took off and getting to the camp. Buizel just casually shook himself, not affected by the cold air being he was used to the cold. Following behind, he took a little longer to get to the camp than myself as I had ran, diving into my backpack for my towel. Drying myself I hung the towel on one of the tents lines and got dressed before lighting the camp fire. The warmth was welcoming as I sat there beside Buizel who was a little closer to the fire curled up, with his tails tucked under his chin. He was relaxing, his eyes closed, not asleep, just resting quietly. I yawned loudly after ten minutes of sitting under the stars gazing into the fire and Buizel did the same. I then realized just how exhausted we both must be, I nodded to the tent as Buizel looked up at me and smiling he returned the nod.

He stood up, so that he was on all fours, and followed me into the tent after I had dowsed the fire. It took us a few minutes to get settled, him to get comfortable and me to get undressed and comfortable. It didn't help that the events of earlier were still fresh in our minds. I thought through it bit by it trying to trick myself into believing it didn't happen, try as I might however I just couldn't convince myself. I found myself staring intently at the back of Buizel's head wondering if he was sleeping or struggling like me. I got my answer as he rolled over and stared into my eyes then with both of us blushing our stare became intimate, sparkling and even a little lustful. That's when it happened, being that the tent was small we were practically on top of each other, then we were. Our lips met with a high level of passion as Buizel rolled on top of me my heart raced, our eyes closed and arms wrapped around him holding his body close to mine. We stopped, smiling as he rolled off me and returned to the same position as he was outside, his head on my arm the tension was gone, my heart still raced.

"Good night Buizel." I was too surprised to think as I watched him fall asleep looking so peaceful. Eventually my eyes closed and I dreamed pleasantly of Buizel. All the while Buizel's head rested on top of my chest, after moving from where he had originally been lying.
