Thanks to SweetHoneyBee, fishstick1999 and ScandinavianTrash for reviewing.

And for those who want to know, our school starts mid-January, and then we have two weeks off in March/April, three in June/July, one in September/October, and then classes end at end-November or the beginning of December. It also depends on the province. When we were visiting friends a few years ago, the daughter still had school while my sister and I were on holiday. They lived in the Western Cape while we're in Gauteng.

ChuLith: First Kiss

To say that Toris was nervous would be an understatement. He had a stomach ache, and he kept running scenarios in his head over and over. He wanted everything to be perfect. But what if it wasn't?

He and Yao had been dating for over a month now, and yet they still hadn't had their first kiss. Toris intended to change that. He was very serious about Yao, and wanted the other to know that.

He had planned their date, and everything would go well. Yao would be speechless, and hopefully he would be happy. Nothing could go wrong.

…

Everything had gone wrong.

First, Toris's car had broken down, making him almost late for their movie date. And what's worse, it had started raining. Actually, 'raining' would be putting it mildly. It was storming. Yao had forgiven him for the tardiness, and the two had gone in to watch the movie.

But half an hour later the power went out due to the storm, and everyone had to leave the theatre, thankfully with refunds. And because Toris's car had broken down, they had to rely on Yao's car. They also couldn't get any food, since the restaurants were all closing.

Toris tried to salvage the night by suggesting that they could spend the rest of their date cuddling at his apartment (since Yao had siblings that wouldn't give them privacy), but then Kiku, one of said siblings, called to demand that Yao return home as soon as possible, since he didn't like the idea of the other being out in this storm.

Yao had offered Toris a ride home, and the Lithuanian accepted it disappointedly. When they arrived at his apartment building he sighed, hands already on the door handle.

"Thanks for the ride, Yao," Toris said. "I'm sorry this turned out to be a disaster."

"Don't worry about it," Yao said. "It couldn't be helped. And it was still fun spending time with you."

Toris's mouth twitched, and just when he was about to open the door, Yao placed his hand on the Lithuanian's cheek and guided him to look at him. And Toris's eyes widened when he felt soft lips on his own.

It was a chaste kiss, and ended sooner than Toris would have liked, but it was still perfect.

"You worry too much," Yao said. "I'll call you when I get home."

Toris smiled and nodded, opening the door. Perhaps this night wasn't such a disaster after all.

I had a request for China and Lithuania having their first kiss. And having Toris intending to plan it with everything going wrong, and then Yao doing it spontaneously seemed to fit their personalities, so I went with that.

Also, I've posted the prologue for my new story, Enough. Go check it out.
