It was a cold Wednesday afternoon and school was closed because of the snow. You were spending some hours at your best friend's house, that happen to be also your neighbor.
"I'm bored.", you said, rubbing your hands covered by gloves to harm yourself.
River was laying beside you on the floor, trying to keep himself warm in his jacket. He looks at you from below.

"You wanna watch some television? ", he asks.
You shrug your shoulders.
"Sure. Why not?", you say as River stands up to turn on the TV. On the screen popped up the 'Looney Tunes Cartoons' with Bugs Bunny eating a carrot and smiling.
River returned to his seat, laying his head on your lap as he kept his attention on the screen.
"Bugs Bunny was always my favorite.", River says. "Who's your favorite?"
"Beep Beep.", you reply.
He smiles briefly at you.
"Beep Beep is cool too.", he says, returning his attention to the screen. It took him some seconds to realize you were still watching him. River looks at you. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing.", you shake your head. " I was just thinking how you look like a little kid watching cartoons."
"Little kid?", River lifts his head off your lap, sitting beside you. "I'll show you the little kid.", he starts to tickle you.
Your laughing fills the space as River keeps tickling you. You fall to the floor, but River doesn't give up.
"Stop, River!", you laugh. "I take back what I said."
For a moment, River stops. He looks at your reddish face from laughing. You just noticed then that he was really closer to you. He must have noticed it too because the smile on his face turned to hesitation. He looks at your lips and then at your eyes.
River gets closer slowly, almost hesitating. He sees that you don't show any sign of wanting less than he wanted at that moment. River captures your soft lips in a small kiss at first. You don't try to stop him as he kisses you again, tasting the sweet flavor of your mouth.
He kisses you for some moments as you both stayed on the room's floor.
There are smiles on your faces as you stop kissing. Your heart was racing so fast that you feared that he could feel it. You had just kissed your best friend.
River moves a lock of your hair away from your forehead with nothing but tender on his eyes.
"Not bad for a little kid, hum?", he jokes as he holds you in his arms on the floor.
