Drying off and getting dressed, you realize you forgot to grab a hoodie to wear to bed. Having had enough of just standing around in only a pair of black sleep shorts and a matching black bra, you decide to just yell out to see if Mountain can grab you one. "Mounty! Can you grab me a hoodie, I forgot mine in my bag."
"Yeah just gimme a second angel!" Waiting until you hear him knock at the door, you open it slightly so only your arm and head are sticking out.
"Thank you Bubs, I'll be out in a minute then." Giving him a smile, you take the coat and shut the door to finish getting dressed. Not failing to notice the fact that this is not your hoodie, but Mountain's instead.
Happily putting it on and walking out of the bathroom you take notice of the ghoul laying down on his stomach. You carefully and quietly move so you're at the foot of the bed, taking this as your moment to strike. Jumping and landing on the tall ghoul who had his eyes closed, startling him so much so that he let out a small yelp.
"Oh my Satan's you're crushing me-" Wheezed the Earth ghoul that was struggling under you.
"Wow, you sure know how to treat a lady." Looking at him with the most sarcastic look known to man, causing the two of you to laugh at each other.
Still chuckling, Mountain replied with the same sarcastic tone. "Oh, please forgive me, how ever could I make it up to you my angel?"
"Yeesh, at least take me on a date first. Things are getting wild in here."
"A date?"
"Hm? That's what I said yeah, it was only a joke though-"
Being cut off from finishing your sentence, a nervous smile grows on Mountain's face. "I'll take you on a date. Only if you want to of course-"
Now it was your turn to cut off the blushing ghoul. "Well, I guess I'll just have to accept your invitation then. Doesn't seem like I have much choice, you're really pulling my arm here."
The smiles growing on both your faces, along with the small tinge of blush. You take notice that the odd but pleasant feeling is coming back.
You never thought you'd feel anything quite like this. When it's described in movies and books, it doesn't compare to the real thing at all. The words don't do it justice, or maybe it's the person who's causing them that's too perfect for words.
"Do you feel them too?" Focusing back on the ghoul in front of you, you realize he's staring right at you.
Taking note of his words, you're stunned, had he been reading your mind? "Feel what?"
Looking nervous, but still carrying on, he replied. "The flutters in your stomach, the fireflies as people call them. The feeling that I get when I'm around you. When we're cuddling or sitting together. When I watch you paint or when you let me teach you how to play the drums. Whenever you're near me I get this feeling, it's like I feel whole. As if I'm not alone in this world."
Taking a breath after he finished, he whispered out one last thing. "Ness, you make me feel safe, I don't think I could ever stand losing you."
Cirrus's words running through your head on repeat. "It may seem scary to take the leap to confess or make a move, but trust me when I say in the end it will be worth it. All you have to do is trust yourself."
"Trust yourself"
Feeling a soft warm hand rest on your cheek, you're shaken out of the shock of what he just confessed. With a shaky and concerned voice, Mountain spoke out to you. "Angel? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry-"
"I feel them too."
It was dead silent for a beat before you spoke up again.
"I feel them whenever I'm around you, no matter how close or far apart we are. I feel them when I think about you. Whenever you cross my mind, which is a lot by the way. You're stuck in my head like a plague, but I'm perfectly fine being diseased. I don't mind it one bit, because I have you. Mountain you have a hold on me that no one else is allowed to have, and I'm okay with that because there's a chance that I have you the same way."
Silence yet again taking over the room, engulfing the two of you.
"Ness?"
"Hm?"
"Can I kiss you?"
"You know as hot as consent is, I really wish you'd just shut up and do it already-"
You get cut off once more, but this time it wasn't from him speaking.
