They stayed that way for a long while. Stitch's lips moving gently on Lilo's, just the way she liked it. Her nails raked through the fur on his back, causing him to smile in their kiss to let her know he liked it.
Who ever knew Lilo could be such a good kisser! Stitch thought to himself as he reveled in the feeling of Lilo's hands roaming on his back. She's a better kisser than Angel is. Wait, Angel!
With that thought, Stitch ripped his lips away from Lilo and jumped off her. Lilo, confused why Stitch would break the moment, sat up to look at him. She tilted her head when she noticed the apprehensiveness flash in his features. His claws fiddled nervously, his head bowed and his ears flattened on his back. A habit he had picked up when he knew he did something wrong.
Lilo stared at him with a raised eyebrow. Feeling the warmth of someone's gaze, he looked up into Lilo's beautiful chocolate brown orbs. He sighed. There was no way he could get her to love him like that. Moreover, even if she did, it would've never worked.
"I'm sorry Lilo, but I'm still with Angel." Stitch replied.
"Do you love her?" Lilo asked, hoping silently that his answer was a negative.
He sighed. "I don't know. I do know that I care for her, but I don't know if it's love. Lilo, I've noticed things about you that I've never noticed before. I've noticed how beautiful you look when the sun shines on you, how angelic you look when the moon beams on you, how perfect your smile is, just about everything! I don't know what this means Lilo, but it has to stop. Angel loves me and I think I still love her, so I don't want to go and break her heart."
She opened her mouth to say she's in love with Reuben. However, the words wouldn't come out. Then she remembered a roadblock in their relationship. Her cancer. She shouldn't get this close to Stitch when she's going to die soon. Tears welled up in her eyes and she turned from Stitch to run home. Stitch, believing he was the cause for her to cry, followed her. He screamed at her to stop, but she continued running into the house. Stitch pumped his legs as hard as he could to catch up to Lilo. When he was just inches behind her, he reached out to grab her arm.
When his hand latched around her arm, Lilo stumbled, sending them both to the ground. Seeing his opportunity, Stitch climbed on top of the struggling little girl, pinning her arms to the ground. He looked down at her soft lips. Oh, how he delighted having those lips on his. They were so sweet, delicate, and so... Lilo. He licked his lips, thinking it wouldn't hurt to have just one more taste of heaven that was the Earth girl underneath him. He bent down to place his lips gently on top of hers. He felt her struggles cease and began to kiss him back. Stitch let go of her arms to wrap around her low back while she put her arms around his neck, pulling him deeper.
They continued this until Lilo snapped to her senses. She took her arms off Stitch and used them to pull him away. He gazed at her with longing, but she shook her head. The tears forming on the edge of her eyes.
"Stitch, we can't do this." She said as she choked, pushing Stitch fully off her. "You're right, you still have Angel." He was about to protest until she put a finger to his lips, silencing him. "Even if Angel wasn't in our way, there's another reason why. Stitch, did you forget I'm dying?"
He looked away, refusing to let her see the small tears that started welling up. He didn't want to remember that. He didn't want to think of Lilo dying. He wanted to think she was still okay, that she was going to be with him forever. Nevertheless, he knew that could never be. She was dying and she was going to leave him soon. He swallowed hard for he knew there was no way he could save her.
As he stayed lost in his thoughts, Lilo interrupted them. "Besides, do you even love me?"
He turned his head back to her quickly. Of course, I love you Lilo! You mean everything to me. I know I don't say it like I should, but I do Lilo. I love you so much. More than you can possibly imagine. He wanted to say to her, but when his mouth opened to say the words, his tongue wouldn't form. It seemed as if the words refused to come off his lips. With a sigh, he turned and ran. He didn't know where he was going to go, but he had to get away from her.
Lilo sighed dejectedly. Of course, he doesn't love me. He shows that he does, but I can tell he doesn't. Maybe it's best he doesn't love me. That way it'll be easier for us to let go when the time comes. When MY time comes. With those last thoughts, she spun around to continue her walk to her house.
When she was upstairs in her room, Lilo immediately plopped down on the bed. She grabbed the pillow that wasn't covering her parent's picture and screamed until her voice was hoarse. Kira, who was still inside the closet, heard the little girl's scream. Though she didn't care about what Lilo was going through, she still became curious. She crawled to the closet door, stretching the leash as far it could go. Finally, she put an ear to the door and listened to Lilo sobs.
"The girl really needs to get a life." She mumbled grouchily.
"Why?" Lilo asked to herself as she flung the pillow across the room. "Why did I kiss Stitch?"
She kissed him! Kira's mind shouted. "That's my man you insolent girl!"
Lilo wept as she brushed away her tears of anger, frustration, and sadness. "Why did I have to fall in love with a guy I could never be with? Why did I even fall in love when I'm DYING!"
She's dying. Kira asked to herself. Good thing too. If she wasn't already dying, then I'd kill her with my bare paws for kissing MY 626. Wait, if 626 kissed that little brat, then that means he has no romantic intrest for 624! Instead, he has feelings for that little girl! Hm, it should be easy to break them apart. After all, how can he have her for so long, if she's already dying?
"Aww, poor innocent little Lilo." Kira mocked in fake sympathy. "Do you need a hug to make it all better?"
"Who's there?" Lilo asked aloud, forgetting she had Kira in the closet.
"Who do you think brat? It's Kira! You locked in the closet!" She yelled.
Lilo mentally kicked herself for forgetting all about Kira in the closet. She shuffled her feet in the direction of the closet. She turned the knob to see the tan experiment smirking. Lilo bent down to the experiment's level, debating whether she should untie her.
The experiment sighed exasperated, wanting the Earth girl to release her. Lilo reached up to undo the buckle on the leash, causing Kira to be free. She ran past Lilo without an appreciative gesture then jumped up and down on the bed.
"So, you're in love with 626 huh?" Kira enquired with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know." Lilo answered as she walked over to the bed and sat down. Kira, disgusted at being an inch near the girl, scooted away while scowling. Lilo sighed perturbed. "Oh come on! Do Earthlings really sicken you that much?"
"Yes! They are lower than us experiments! They don't have powers, they're brainless, and most of them are not evil! Now, back to the topic of you and Stitch. Lilo, he can never love you."
"Why should I listen to you? All you want is for you and Stitch to be together."
"So? I love him."
"No, you love him because he's cute. Not because of whom he is."
"Just who do you think you are? My love doctor!" Kira cried out to her in an agitated tone. "All I want is for the guy to be cute. That definitely sums up 626." Kira replied in a dreamy state just before glaring at the girl. "He could never love you Lilo. I can't believe I'm saying this, but 624 is better off being with him than you! She is a beautiful experiment, one who has a lovely voice, expert in fighting, and his heart. What do you have? Tell me about yourself girl. What do you think he'll find interesting in you?"
Lilo looked away. "Again I'm asking, why should I listen to you? Stitch may never love me, but he'll never love you either."
Kira gritted her teeth in anger as she raised her paw. Lilo turned to look at her with determination, but ended up with a strike across her face. Kira didn't stop there though. She pounced on Lilo, glaring at her dangerously as she raised her fist. Lilo squeezed her eyes tightly before she felt the experiment's fist smash into her left eye. She cried out in pain, making the experiment roll her eyes.
Lilo moaned as she tried to open her eyes. Her left squinted while the other opened with ease. Kira snickered. "See? That's why I loath you Earthlings. You can't even handle a punch without an injury. That was barely even a hit! This is why 626 shall never love you. He's strong while you are weak. So, don't ever make that comment again Lilo or your other eye will match your left!"
She then hopped off Lilo and down the elevator to get something to eat. If Nani and Pleakley were home, Lilo wouldn't ran after her, but she didn't. Nani was still at work, and Pleakley was shopping around. Besides, she didn't want to risk the chance of Stitch seeing her with a black eye.
The rest of the day went by without Lilo and Stitch giving one glance at each other, much to the surprise of the family. Lilo stayed in her room when everybody, especially Stitch, was downstairs so nobody could see her left eye. When Nani came home to make dinner, Lilo still stayed in her dome. Nani thought she wasn't hungry and also sleeping, so she didn't dwell too much about it.
Stitch had tried looking for Angel, to tell her what went on between him and Lilo. He knew Angel and Reuben were getting close. Even a blind man could see it. Stitch was not a stupid experiment. He noticed the longing glances between them and knew they were in love. However, he didn't pay much attention to that. He wanted Angel to tell him what was going on with her and Reuben. If she didn't love him, then she would come out and break it down to him. That kiss he and Lilo shared made him consider his relationship with Angel. He loved her, that was for certain, but he wasn't sure if it was the love between a boy and a girl. When he kissed Lilo, he felt a wonderful feeling that was more powerful than when he kisses Angel. With Lilo, he could've sworn he fell in love all over again.
These were his thoughts that night while lying in bed next to Angel. If anybody that knew of Stitch and Angel walked in on them, it would be an odd sight to them. Angel lay on her side, facing away from Stitch at the end of the bed. Stitch faced his other side and was at the end of the bed. Her eyes closed while his were open, even though all the lights were off. He looked at the picture of him, Angel, and Lilo sitting on the dresser. He smiled to himself as he stared at the figure of Lilo. She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen walking around this island. She had been his best friend since day one and now, they're still close, but shared their first kiss. He licked his lips, he could still taste her sweet sugary lips on his.
What was I thinking when I kissed her? He thought. Now I'm in love with her all because of one stupid kiss! I shouldn't love her that way, especially since she's dying. A few tears welled up in his eyes. Instead of wiping them away as he always does, he let them roll freely instead. Why her? Why couldn't I just be happy with Angel? Why can't first love last forever? How am I going to love Lilo if she's going to die in a few months. He sighed then he made his decision. I will love her. If I just ignore my feelings for her, then it'll hurt when she's gone. I must spend all my time with her, make the best of it until the time comes. In the words of Jumba, Nani, Pleakley, and Reuben, I must make Lilo feel loved.
He threw back the covers and quietly slid off the bed. Without a backwards glance at Angel, he left the room. As if a prowler, he made his way to the elevator as silently as he could. He reached the elevator, which gradually brought him up to his and Lilo's old room. He saw that she was asleep and he walked over to her bedside. He looked down at her face, shining from the moonlight. Due to the light of the moon, he noticed her nasty black eye, which made him gasp. From the pattern of it, he noticed an experiment did that to her. He growled deeply in his throat when he realized who the blame was. Kira.
He decided to make Kira pay tomorrow. He bent down and softly touched his lips to hers. As expected, Lilo started writhing underneath his touch. Stitch pulled back to see her chocolate brown eyes flutter open. She gasped when she saw Stitch.
"Stitch! What are you doing here?" She asked.
He sighed then lowered his ears. "Lilo, I want to stay the night with you. Every night."
She smiled then scooted over to make some room for him. Stitch slipped under the covers. "I want to be more than friends with you." He murmured, half-hoping she heard while the other half hoped she didn't.
She did though and peered over her shoulder to look at him. "You want to what?"
He wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing her back to his abdomen. "I want to be more than just friends."
"What are you saying?" She enquired, rolling in his arms to face him.
Why should I tell you, when I can show you. He leaned forward and firmly placed his lips upon hers. Lilo shrieked, but didn't move. He held her closer and just when he was about to pull away, she returned the kiss. He smiled on her lips and continued the kiss.
After a minute or two, they pulled away, breathless. Their lips parted as they sucked in air from their nostrils. Stitch retracted his extra arms and wrapped her in his embrace. Lilo snuggled into his chest, finding it hard to breathe. Even though the kiss was simple, it literally astounded her. She never felt anything like this feeling. The feeling of protection, devotion, and even love. The love that Stitch directed all towards her. She felt his claws run through her straight raven hair as he started dozing off.
For once, Lilo believed everything was going to be all right.

Note: Lilo and Stitch are FINALLY together. Be aware of a lot of kissing scenes (There'll also be the 'tongue' in the most emotional places, but if you don't think that's proper, then let me know and I'll change it), because these two are going deep. Also, I would love to see what you guys think Kira would do. I have this all planned and I hope you'll be amazed at what I came up with, but still, I'd like to hear your ideas as to what Kira will do to get Stitch to love her. State it in your review, please!
