Chapter 8: Kiss Me

POV: Puffy
I look down at the ground as I walk. I only live about 4 blocks from the school so the commute isn't that bad. I feel a tap on my shoulder and jump, a little startled.
"Hey" Minx smiles walking backwards in front of me,
"Hey lovely, what's up?"
"The sky" I give a smile of disappointment but also trying to hold back a laugh.

"You think you're so damn funny" I say. She chuckles and falls back to walk next to me.
"Where ya off too?"
"Home" She nods and we walk in silence for about 3 minutes until she says,
"Wanna hang out? I mean, I have band practice but I could always just skip it" I look up at her,
"I don't know...I have a big English essay due tomorrow..."
"Oh c'mon! Live a little!" She nudges me.

I want to hang out with her, I really do...but I can't ruin her reputation.
"I can't, I'm sorry..." Her smile fades,
"Alrighty then. See you tomorrow" We reach the corner and she turns, running at almost full speed. Shit now I feel bad.

POV: Minx
I run home, something hit me when I said the last thing. I shoot the boys a text,

Lovejoy
Minx: Can't come today
Wil: Minx we've talked about this, you can't just fucking skip whenever you want
Sap: Awah Minx don't leave me with these two!
Dream: Cool, see you tomorrow
Wil: Dream, really?
Dream: I mean, nooo!! Come to practice pleaaaassseee 🥺🥺😩
Minx: Fuck off, it's just once. Plus, I'll make it up
Wil: How?
Minx: You'll see :)
Karl: Not to be rude, but why am I in this gc?
Sap: Oops
Wil: Sapnap-

I put my phone away and unlock the door to my house, today I get to be home alone. With my thoughts. Well, my one thought. I enter and head straight to my room. Closing the door behind me. I throw my bag down and grab a sheet of paper and a pencil.

(A/N: I used to write poems and songs but they weren't good so the song Minx is writing will not be very good lmao just suspend disbelief and pretend it is :D)

I sit down at my desk and begin with the title,

See You Tomorrow

~Time Skip (7 hours)~

POV: Puffy
...that's why the Romans were so greatly affected by Christianity.
I finally finished my essay. I stand and walk downstairs to get a glass of water. I grab an apple on the way by and bring both of them back up, stopping at my brother's room.
"Hey, when you finish with that can I get that $20 you owe me" I take a bite out of my apple and look into the eyes of two bewildered men that were about 15 seconds away from...you know. Schlatt stands and I smirk,
"YOU LITTLE FUCKFACE GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM" I run to my room and lock the door. Smiling to myself.

I sit back down and begin to read over my essay just to make sure it's good when I hear a tap. I look up, a bit confused when I hear it again. It sounds like it's coming from the other side of my room I walk over and looked. I checked under my bed, behind the bookshelf, nothing. Then I heard it again in the direction of my window. that's weird. I walk over and open it.

I look down and see a girl in a black sweatshirt looking up at me. She's smiling,
"Hey short stack" I look behind me to make sure no one's there,
"Minx what're you doing here? it's like 8pm!" I whisper-yell
"It's 10:30, and I gotta show ya something"
"What do you want to show me?" I ask,
"Well come down here and find out!"
"I can't I'm already wearing my pj's" I try to object,
"That's alright, so am I. Grab a sweatshirt and get your ass down here" I roll my eyes before closing the window.

I take a sweatshirt and pull it over myself while walking down the stairs. Almost tripping multiple times. I grab my keys and pull on my shoes, half stumbling outside. I walk up to her,
"So, what is it?" I ask shrugging.
"C'mon" She grabs my arm and tugs me in the direction we're walking. She's quite the fast walker at such a late hour. She turns and looks at me.
"What?"
"You're really fucking slow, you know that?" I stop and close my eyes, swaying a little.
"I'm ttiiiiirrrreeeeddd-" I get cut off by the sudden grasp of my neck and knees. I open my eyes,
"Woah" I say. Minx has picked me up bridal style and is walking just as fast as before.
"Where the fuck did you get this energy from...Can I have some?" I joke and she smiles,
"I'm more of a night person"

~Time Skip~

"Puffy...Puffy wake up" I open my eyes.
"Yeah, what's up?" I rub them looking forward and cuddling back into whatever I'm laying on. Jesus this is comfortable
"Why is it so bright" I dig my face into the object behind me when I feel the vibration of a voice.
"It's the moon" I sit up and look at Minx who's smirking at me.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"I don't care, it's kinda cute" I feel her arm wrap around my waist and pull me back.

I accept and snuggle back in. I look up at the sky and see thousands of stars.
"Wow...this is beautiful" I feel the hard blush from before slowly fading away.
"Yeah, it is" She says.
"Is this what you wanted to show me?" I look sit up a little and twist to look at her. The moon is lighting her blue eyes in the most amazing way.
"Mhm" She says. I watch as her eyes fall from my own, down a few inches. She bites her lower lip.

"Go ahead" I say,
"What?" Her eyes snap back up.
"Kiss me"
