Plagued Love

6

Zeltron woke the next morning with a terrible headache. He groaned and buried his face into his pillow. He had a feeling someone would visit, that meaning that he had to get up. He eventually did, got dressed and put on his plague doctor mask, peering out the green lenses just as there was a knock on his door. Carnelian is standing outside his door, his face flushed and his heart beating wildly in his chest. The thought of Zeltron makes his legs feel weak and he tries to calm himself down. His hands tremble as he knocks again. When he answers the door, he smiles softly and his cheeks become brighter than before. 

"H-Hello, Zeltron. Sorry to bother you so early in the morning." He says, sounding slightly out of breath.

 "Was there, uh... was there anything you wanted to talk to me about?" He asks nervously. 

Zeltron blinked and smiled even though his headache was annoying him greatly. 

"I didn't want to talk with you about anything, but I'm happy to have you over". 

He said as his face turned a soft pink under his mask. His cheeks continue to turn brighter as he glances at Zeltron's flustered expression. He clears his throat and pushes his hair out of his face, revealing the strands that Zeltron moved out of the way when he first met him half a month ago. 

"That's good. I... well, I wanted to... ask you something." He said, feeling nervous about what he might say next. His body trembles slightly, his legs feeling weak. "I... um... I have a question for you... uh, a personal question."

He says nervously, his voice a whisper. Zeltron tilted his head bringing him inside his home and shutting the door behind him. Zeltron sighed as he sat down with his friend on the couch, moving closer to him when he wasn't looking at him. 

He sits down next to Zeltron and glances at his hand, noticing how close Zeltron placed it near his. A small smile spreads across his lips before it fades instantly. 

His cheeks turn bright red once again and his heart beats faster as he looks down at the couch, unsure of what to do. He opens his mouth to speak but only awkward mumbles come out. He clears his throat and tries again. 

"I... well, I... I..." His voice trails off and he looks at you once more, his heart missing a beat. "So.....What did you want to talk about?" Zeltron said as he pulled off his mask. His caramel skin was tainted with a slight pink. 

His pale green eyes shone in the early morning light as his dark brown hair shaded by his hat. Carnelian's eyes widen when he sees Zeltron's face in front of him, his eyes moving to his soft cinnamon lips. Something about the way Zeltron's mouth moved when speaking... caused his thoughts to get hazy and his mind felt empty.

He clears his throat, trying to remain focused on the task at hand. "Um... I know it's kinda weird to ask you this after knowing you for while... " 

He pauses, his voice shaking slightly. "But... do you like me?" He whispers to him, his cheeks a bright shade of pink once more. 

Zeltron looked up into the golden eyes of Carnelian, his mouth open slightly in shock. He looks away as his face gets red. He attempted to speak but all that came out was stutters, his face getting more and more red. Carnelian notices the stunned expression on Zeltron's face but doesn't question why.

He blushes madly as he watches him fumble over his words. His heartbeat races as he gazes at your face and he feels himself lean closer. 

"I... um... I'm gonna... I'm gonna be honest with you." His lips are just inches away from touching Zeltron's, his breath catching in his throat and his hands trembling. 

"I... can't stop thinking about you. I love the smell of your hair, and your beautiful face. I'm... I'm falling for you." He whispers softly. 

Zeltron looks over, feeling Carnelians hand which slid over to Zeltron's and held onto it. Zeltron took a deep breath and looked back at him, blushing like mad. Carnelian smiles as he watches his expression change. He continues to hold onto Zeltron's hand tightly as he watches him blush. His heartbeat is beating rapidly as he leans forward, his heart racing as he gazes at his lips. Something about them... draws him in. 

"I... I want to..." He trails off, his voice shaking slightly. His cheeks are bright pink and his eyes wide, his mouth slowly moving closer to meeting Zeltron's. Zeltron doesn't stop him, leaning slightly closer but not to close. His caramel skin stained with crimson as he looks at the elf. Carnelian's lips touch Zeltron's ever so gently, feeling the softness of his lips for the first time. 

His cheeks flush as his breath catches in his throat. As his eyes slide shut, he doesn't notice the sudden rush of rain outside. He pulls away after a few seconds, looking at him with a soft look in his eyes. 

"You like me then?" He asks quietly and his cheeks remain a bright shade of pink.

He tries to catch his breath and the sound of the rain outside calms him down a little. His lips still tingle from the feeling of his lips against his. Zeltron nodded and smiled gently. Carnelian smile turns into one of joy. He moves his hands up to Zeltrons face, gently holding his cheeks in his hands. 

His eyes are filled with adoration and his lips part slightly as he looks deeply into Zeltron's eyes. He places a kiss on the tip of his nose and blushes brightly. He can't help but notice how sweet Zeltron's lips taste, his lips feeling tingly and his heart beating fast as ever. His cheeks remain a bright shade of red and he doesn't want to look away, he loves having his eyes on Zeltron's face.
