Lack of Words

Episode 5 - "Awkward Situations"

SMALL LIME WARNING!!!

And as Koda had pulled, Zika that bit closer, their lips had finally met. Zika was in shock, but were pulled in quickly, his hands on Koda's shoulders pulling him slightly closer to him. It was only a few moments till' they pulled away, Koda's ears burning red. "Zika..." Koda said, holding a hand over his lips. Zika looked into the smaller male's eyes, their foreheads brushing against each other. "A...Gain...?" Koda asked, avoiding eye contact now, feeling embarrassed. Zika did not hesitate this time and placed his soft lips against Koda's. This kiss was longer and more passionate. Zika slightly pushed Koda, making him lay down on the couch. They pulled away for a bit, looking into each other's eyes. Zika leaned in again, the kisses getting more and more passionate. They were just two dumb teenagers in love. Koda's hands moved to the back of the boy's neck, their lips now slightly parting. "Zika..." Koda said in between kisses, his voice weak.

"Am I interrupting anything?" The two pulled away from each other in a panic, looking over at the one who spoke. Hannah stood there, having a small bag of medicine. "No, you didn't! We were just..." Zika was trying to come up with an excuse, but there was none that came to mind. To put it bluntly, they were fucked. Koda covered his face in embarrassment. "It's ok, I won't tell a soul" Hannah said and sat on the beanbag chair.

The two were embarrassed and sat at the opposite ends of the couch now. It was Koda's very first kiss and he felt his heart being unable to calm down after such eventful acts.

The following days were odd. Koda and Zika still spoke to each other, but now, Zika offered to be Koda's tutor. Well in his ability to speak, but Koda also needed help in history and math, something Zika was good at and got almost perfect scores in those subjects. "Let try again, slowly." Zika placed his hand on top of Koda's. "Can you tell me, the directions, to the mall?" Zika said slowly, so Koda could follow.

"Of course... You take a left... and go, round- Around!... the corner" Koda said, correcting his own mistake. Zika smiled supportively and placed hit hand on Koda's head, moving it down to the back of his neck in a gentle and soft manner. "That's good, very good..." Zika said in a soft voice and a charming smile. They kept practicing for hours and hours on speaking. "You're improving a whole lot Koda!" Zika said with a big smile.

"Thank you Zika. I am trying" Koda said. It was the only two sentences he could say flawlessly. They looked into each others eyes for a while, before breaking eye contact. It happened more often, where they would become awkward around each other. Zika's hand grabbed Koda's, looking at him once again. "Is this ok?" Zika asked, Koda nodding. His hand moved up Koda's arm and to the back of his neck. In a pure moment they leaned closer, their lips meeting. That also happened occasionally. But this time, Zika deepened the kiss, lightly biting down onto Koda's bottom lip. Zika's arms moved around Koda's waist and the smaller boys arms wrapped around Zika's neck. 

As they were kissing the door to the empty classroom opened, making them pull away from each other, but their arms were still around each other. There at the door, the mothers of both Zika and Koda stood. They were both there to pick up their kids due to the unexpected storm that roared outside the windows. The two teens were so cut up in each other, they hadn't noticed. Zika's mother stood for a bit, before giving her son a warm, yet worrying smile. Meanwhile, Koda's mother stood, with disbelief in her eyes, almost not being able to understand. "Koda... We are going home..." She said and Koda pushed away from Zika, too embarrased to even say goodbye. 

Koda hurried out to the car, looking out the window as his mother drove. "Koda... I didn't expect... We didn't know you were... Are you...?" His mother was so confused and unsure of the situation, she was unable to bring her to say the word, not wanting to confuse her own son.

"I don't know... I just lae- like him. Why should I expel- explain?" Koda said, stuttering and almost getting his words wrong. His mother nodded and drove them home.

Meanwhile, Zika's mom was just happy he had found someone. "You do know your grandmother will not be too happy... She is a traditional woman..." His mother said, driving the rather old car. "I know, but she doesn't need to know. I am still not sure if he only likes me, because I am helping him with speaking and tutoring him with maths, but I would rather think there is a chance he does like me..." Zika, his mother smiling brightly. "Don't give up, unless he rejects you or turns out straight." His mother said in a cheerfull tone.
