FFFF. I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD, MAI PEOPLEZ. :DDD

Chapter 12

Gorgonzola is silent. He blinks once. And then again.

It's killing me inside not having him respond.

My face is on fire, and my hands are balled up into white fists, my nails clawing into my skin.

"W-Well," I say. "Answer!"

His eyes widen. I suddenly feel the familiar sting of tears in my eyes. A lump forms in my throat.

Why now?

Why in front of...

Gorgonzola stands up and walks up to me.

…him?

His arm hovers weakly in the air for a moment, as if he has no idea what to do, then it wraps around my neck and pulls me close. A small gasp escapes my lips.

My hand reaches up and clutches his shirt.

We don't speak.

"I don't know why I-I am…" I say softly.

I feel his hand touch the back of my head.

I have never seen him like this…

"I…" he starts.

Does he really…

We pull apart, arms still linked.

care…?

He stares, I stare, he moves his head forward, I don't. But the outcome is the same.

We kiss.

His lips are surprisingly soft. My eyes flutter close. His fingers entangle in my hair. He leans in more, and I feel something wet slip in.

My eyes snap open. Is that…

I pull away.

"What w-was that?" I say warily.

Gorgonzola looks confused.

"Chowder, have you ever been kissed before?" he says.

I blush.

"Only on the cheek by Panini…" I reply, looking away. I hear him sigh, then feel his palm on my cheek. I turn to meet his gaze again.

"Well, Chowder, this is how to do it properly."

Again, we kiss, this time, his tongue sliding in immediately. A small yelp comes from me. But…it does feel good.

We pull apart, but for only a moment. He wraps his arms around my neck and we fall onto the bed. He crawls onto of me, running a hand up my shirt. I gasp, my eyes closing. His touch is so warm and…

"Wh-What are you doing, G-Gorgonzola," I breathe. He suddenly stops, looking up at me. My chest heaves up and down as we look in each others eyes.

"…Nothing," he responds, his hand slipping out. He lies down next to me curling up into an adorable ball.

"You're not… ready yet…" he says in a barely audible whisper.

"Ready? For what?" I say, but he silences me with a finger to my lips.

"Sleep," he says, eyes closing.

I want to respond, but choose to instead follow his command.

Its been to long since I've written a chapter ;w; I got that wrapping-arms-around-neck-and-pulling-to-floor from Strawberry Panic XD I hope I build up enough courage to write a sexy chapter for you guys. You want that, right? =w=;;
