There was a head on your shoulder, it wasn't heavy or uncomfortable, but unfathomable enough to cause a brilliant shade of red to shyly settle itself on the apple of your cheeks. Mussed, black locks could be felt against your hair and skin - Gandales' soft breathing could be heard amongst the mingle of sounds, and feelings swelling passionately into the air around you.
You were currently resting on your couch with the television scintillated brightly in front of you, the audible sounds becoming somewhat of a blurr the more you focused in on the alien still beside you. "Hey, [Name]-chan. What are they doing?" said boy pointed to the television screen, and you brought back your attention to it the moment that inquiry flew from his vocal cords.
"A-Ah, they're..." you trailed off to articulate a proper response, an answer to feed that childish question and give him the satisfaction of an answer - however, you couldn't flat-out lie to him about it either! "Kissing..." you mumbled out to him, voice instinctively shedding into a lighter note of quietness, and it rung with that embarrassment you felt just confessing that.
You craned your head to look at him, and espied him staring up at you with an intensive look captivating his magenta orbs - they were practically shining with a shimmering gloss of hope and determination. "Why are they...kissing?" he furthered pressed on with another query he demanded an answer for. Geez, can't this guy just leave it alone?!
Coughing awkwardly along with another bashful smile, you explained simply to him, "They like each other. If you like someone a lot, you kiss them." Your words truly stabbed at Gandales' heart, and he found himself shifting in his seat so he was sitting on his knees and laughed gleefully when your face doubled in color and confusion.
"Let's kiss then, [Name]-chan!" he dictated with an overly ecstatic tone of voice, and you wanted to lean back away from him because he really was coming closer, entirely serious about kissing you. He puckered his lips to mirror the actors that he watched do it in an exemplary manner, and his pale-white skinned hands cupped your cheeks gently so you couldn't be given the chance to escape.
You stammered out a string of incoherent sentences that even the overly-excited Gandales couldn't piece together correctly until you finally formed a tangible statement. "W-Wait! You have to do it with someone you really, really, really, really like, okay?! I'm your friend, right? You gotta do it with someone you want to marry-!" you blabbered whilst being shaken with a discomforting mortification - so, so embarrassing!
You were never good with these sort of things, and having your crush come onto you like this was too much for your heart to handle at the moment.
The alien adored learning new things, and he was certain Ryugel-nii would've taught him about this strange Earth custom - since he knew everything, he was so awesome! But, he didn't mind you telling him about this though; perhaps it was better the dear you be the one to explain everything on this subject to him...he loved you after all. "Where's the problem then? Isn't it okay?" Gandales chimed in, entirely innocent and pure it really made your heart skip a couple beats.
Your head nodded timorously, because well of course it was okay...You were just getting carried away with this, you concluded. Fluttering his eyes closed, Gandales delved in immediately and affixed your lips together with his own. Your hair stood on end at the awkwardness of it all, and disbelief was mixed behind your feelings as you processed that this was all really happening. However, soon you found yourself able to kiss him back for a second - climbing over your wall of shyness to embrace that tender warmth given to you from him.
Both of you were completely inexperienced, and the kiss itself was nothing more than your smackers clinging together on the same spot without a single movement. Yet there was nothing wrong with that in both your heads, in your hearts, because as awkward and strange as it was...it was the two of you at a pure agreement of serene love.
Gandales drew back with tingling lips, secretly and certainly most innocently wanting to kiss you again, but he chirped out, "I romance you, [Name]-chan!"
"...I-I think you mean like? Love, even?" Well, whatever - you got the point regardless of his bad Japanese or not.
