Bunny - Kenjorine - Transition

Chapter 19

"Kenny! Stop! I need you right now!" I yell through the noise and hug Kenny's arm.

He calms down and hugs me tight.

"Are you okay, Mar?"

"I am now... thank you."

Eric stands up and wipes a bit of blood from his nose.

"Jesus, Kenny."

"You're lucky I didn't kill you, fatass." Kenny sounds furious

"Defending that thing? Looks like someone likes 'Marjorine'."

"So what?"

"Huh?"

"So what if I like her? Ignorant bigots like you won't stop her from being who she is, nor will you stop me from liking her."

"You actually like Butters?"

"It's Marjorine. If you keep using that name or calling her a boy I will kick your ass. This time no one will be able to pull me off you until you are begging me to stop."

"Jesus Christ, Kenny."

The hall goes silent. The bell rings after a few seconds and everyone disperses.

Eric gives us a glare before leaving.

Now it's just me, Karen, and Kenny.

Karen looks between the two of us, "I guess you two have some talking to do."

I nod slowly and she leaves. Kenny and I sit between a gap in the lockers on the floor.

I hug my knees, "So..."

He looks up at the ceiling. "So."

"You uh... you really like me? Was that all true?"

"Yeah."

"Woah." I stare at my feet, I can't believe what I'm hearing.

"I actually have for a while, ever since you cooked that meal for my siblings and I. I saw how caring and talented you were, not to mention how beautiful you are. I realized as we washed the dishes together that I liked you. And it just increased as I spent more time with you."

"I can't believe it..."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Go for it..."

"Do you like me too?"

I turn to him, he looks scared.

I smile, "Yes. I do."

He exhales, "I thought so. You reacted in really cute ways when I would do flirty things around you."

"Did I?"

"Yeah. But I may be biased. Everything you do is cute in my eyes."

I lower my head.

"Let me see your face."

I reluctantly look back up at him.

"Your face is red."

"So is yours..."

We are so close, our faces could touch if I move forward a little bit.

He smiles and lets out a little quiet laugh. "You really are beautiful, Mar. My heart melts every time I look into your eyes."

"Your eyes are way prettier than mine. They're an ocean blue."

"I want to kiss you right now, Mar."

Our faces hover close to eachother, we maintain our eyes on eachothers lips.

"Then... why don't you?"

"Because I'm scared."

"Why is that?"

"I know I won't be able to let go of my feelings for you if I do."

"Maybe that's okay..."

He takes his gaze off my lips to look into my eyes.

"Maybe it is..."

He brushes my bangs behind my ears. His hand holds my cheek as he pulls me into our first kiss.
