A/N: Here's the first chapter, a slow introduction to our characters and their relationship with each other, say? It's a bit random but I hope you find it cute. Also, I would like to dedicate this chapter to my first subscriber; SimplyCuteBambi - so thank you, and do review (:
The start of the weekend meant one thing; Friday night usual with Shane, sitting in front of the TV, eating pizza and drinking coke. After several movies, followed by a few games, they talked, a little or a lot, depending on the 'feel' of the moment before falling asleep in each other's presence. It wasn't much of a Friday evening, but it was safe and was always much needed after a long week.
This evening, she had the house to herself which was unusual. Normally, Friday nights were spent at Shane's place but this Friday, it was her turn. Tonight, they were watching a mildly gory drama on late night TV. Sat on the sofa, under a blanket, she winced as she squeezed her eyes tightly shut as the characters were manically tortured by some zombies of sort.
'It's only a fictional show, love,' he chuckled gently, pulling her into his arms. It was so comforting, his smell and his warmth. She sat there for a moment, not daring to move.
'It's only other people's pain that I can't take,' she sighed and pulled away. He didn't say anything but she could feel his gaze on her. Immediately, she turned the situation awkward, well it was awkward for her anyways. It was strange when she admitted something really honest; it made her feel exposed, weak and scared, even. She didn't tend to do it much, but things were different when she was with Shane, things came out more easily. Sure, at times, she hesitated, like at this moment, but at least she told him stuff, things she couldn't admit to others.
But growing up, she learnt that for every awkward silence, a gay baby dies. She never was one to let misfortune lie in the path of others so attempted to lighten the mood; 'That and the fact that there's blood everywhere! Ewww! I hate blood!' She squealed, wrinkling her nose. He smiled at her naivety and they burst out in a fit of laughter and soon the movie was over.
'Here, close your eyes.' He told her; she did as she was told. 'Now open your mouth.' She didn't open it straight it away, her lip twitching a little, teasing him. He laughed, 'C'mon, don't you trust me?' She opened her mouth at that; she would never doubt him. Something sweet found its way inside her mouth. 'Don't open your eyes just yet. Describe it to me.' She kept chewing. It tasted like chocolate; but nothing like she'd ever tasted before. It started off bitter and as she chewed on, it became sweet, really sweet.
'Erm...Bitter…sweet…chocolaty…'
'Do you like it?'
'Yes, it's interesting…hmm…'
'What does it remind you of, love?' She shivered, for every time he called her 'love', she wasn't sure why but it was just an immediate reaction and she had yet to find out what it meant. 'Are you cold, love?' There it was again, she shivered again before having the chance to respond as he once again, pulled her into him. She nuzzled her head into his chest and held her head there. After a few moments, she mumbled into his shirt,
'It reminds me of you. It reminds me of me. It reminds me of me and you, together. It reminds me of life; bitter, but sweet and generally, a good thing. I think. It also reminds me of uncertainty.' Her voice was barely audible but he understood it. That's why they worked so well together; things that didn't seem to make sense to outsiders, made sense to them.
He held onto her and after a while, they both collapsed onto the sofa. She fell asleep, he held onto to her tight, reaching up to brush the hair that had fallen onto her face. She was so peaceful, so young in many ways. Usually, he felt so worn out, so old and dirty, but with her, he was just a kid again. They understood each other well.
A/N: What do guys think of the first chapter? A total fail? What about the characters? Love them/hate them? Please review. Currently working on the next chapter. Aim to have it up by the end of the today. Again, please review (: Lots of love,
