Tigress X Male Human Teenager

Chapter 9 - OH MY GOD

It had been a serene evening not too long ago. She and Ryan had decided to take a break from their usual training routines and enjoy a quiet moment together. They had ventured into the lush bamboo forest that surrounded the palace, a place where they could escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

As they wandered deeper into the forest, the air became thick with a sense of intimacy. The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in their own private sanctuary. Tigress couldn't deny the feelings that had been growing between them, feelings that had culminated in a single, unscripted moment.

Underneath the canopy of swaying bamboo, their gazes had met, and without a word, they had drawn closer. In that tranquil setting, surrounded by nature's beauty, Tigress had found herself leaning in, her eyes fluttering shut as their lips met in a soft, lingering kiss.

The memory of that kiss now played in her mind like a vivid, unending loop. She could still feel the warmth of Ryan's breath against her skin, the gentle touch of his lips, and the surge of emotions that had coursed through her. It was a moment of vulnerability she had never experienced before, a moment that left her feeling exposed in a way that training never had.

Tigress's cheeks flushed with embarrassment at the memory. She had always prided herself on her stoicism and discipline, and yet, in that moment, she had allowed herself to be swept away by her feelings. It was a side of herself she hadn't known existed, a side that made her feel both exhilarated and vulnerable.

As she sat alone in her room, Tigress couldn't help but replay the scene in her mind. She berated herself for being so careless, for letting her guard down in such a way. What if her fellow warriors, the Furious Five, had witnessed that moment? What would they think of her? These questions weighed heavily on her mind, fueling her embarrassment.

Tigress knew that she couldn't hide from her feelings or the consequences of that kiss forever. She had to confront her emotions and, if necessary, talk to Ryan about what had transpired.

Ryan's P. O. V
As I replayed the moment in my mind, I couldn't help but wonder what it meant. Tigress, with her fierce strength and unwavering determination, had always been an enigma to me. I admired her from the moment I arrived in the Valley of Peace, and our friendship had grown into something deeper and more profound than I could have ever imagined.

But that kiss had changed everything. It had been a whisper of vulnerability, a glimpse into a side of Tigress I had never seen before. It had left me breathless, my heart pounding like a drum, and my thoughts in disarray.

Part of me yearned for more, for the taste of her kiss again, for the warmth of her embrace. I couldn't deny the feelings that surged within me, feelings I had never experienced before. It was as if a door had been opened to a world of emotions I had never known existed, a world where Tigress was at the center of everything.

But the other half of me was gripped by fear. I was just a teenager from another world, a world where such a relationship was impossible, even inconceivable. The thought of pursuing something with Tigress felt like stepping onto a treacherous path, one filled with obstacles and uncertainties.

I knew that ignoring my feelings would be the wise thing to do. I should focus on my training, on my duties in the valley, and maintain the friendship we had built. That was the logical, safe choice.

Yet, logic seemed powerless in the face of the emotions that had been stirred by that kiss. I couldn't help but long for Tigress's presence, for the moments we had shared, for the connection that seemed to transcend the boundaries of our worlds.

I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling the weight of the dilemma that gnawed at my heart.
----------------------------------------------------------

s I approached the training grounds, I spotted Ryan practicing his forms, his movements graceful but distant. With a deep breath, I gathered my resolve and approached him, ready to strike up a conversation and finally address the unspoken tension that hung in the air.

"Ryan," I began, my voice gentle yet filled with concern. "Is something bothering you?"

He paused mid-strike, his eyes flickering with a myriad of emotions before settling into a guarded expression. "Nothing's wrong, Tigress," he replied tersely, resuming his training as if my presence was an unwelcome distraction.

My heart sank at his response. It was a curt dismissal, a stark contrast to the warmth and openness that had defined our interactions before. I couldn't understand why he was shutting me out, why he had become so distant.

"Ryan," I persisted, my voice barely above a whisper, "we've always been honest with each other. Whatever is on your mind, you can tell me."

He continued to train, as if I hadn't spoken at all. It was as if an invisible wall had been erected between us, preventing any meaningful communication. My confusion deepened, and a sense of helplessness washed over me.

As I watched him practice, my thoughts raced. Had I done something to cause this rift? Was there something he wasn't telling me, something he felt he couldn't share? The uncertainty gnawed at me, and I wished I could break through the barrier that had suddenly sprung up between us.

Without warning, I pounced, my training allowing me to close the distance between us in an instant. I pinned him against the wall, my arms on either side of him, effectively trapping him.

His eyes widened in surprise, and he struggled for a moment before realizing it was me. "Tigress, what are you doing?" he stammered, his voice a mixture of astonishment and confusion.

I met his gaze with an intensity that matched the fire burning within me. "You can't avoid this any longer, Ryan," I said, my voice firm but filled with concern. "Tell me why you've been ignoring me."

He hesitated, his gaze flickering away from mine. "It's... it's nothing," he mumbled, clearly avoiding eye contact.

I tightened my grip, not allowing him to escape this conversation any longer. "Ryan," I said, my voice softer now, "we've always been honest with each other. Whatever is bothering you, you can tell me."

He sighed, a deep and troubled exhale that tugged at my heart. "It's the kiss, Tigress," he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

I couldn't help but chuckle at his confession. It was unexpected, and a wave of relief washed over me. "The kiss?" I repeated, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "That's what's been bothering you?"

He nodded, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Yeah," he admitted, avoiding my gaze once again. "I didn't know what it meant, and it confused me. I thought maybe I had crossed a line."

I nodded, my smile warm and reassuring. "Yes, Ryan. I was just as bewildered as you are. But I realized something important but since we're together it would have happened sooner than later."

He furrowed his brow, prompting me to continue.

"That kiss," I said, "it made me realize that there might be something more between us than just a relationship. And that's okay."

Ryan's eyes widened, and he seemed to process my words slowly. "You mean... you liked it?"

I nodded again, my voice gentle. "Yes, I did. And it's okay if you did too."

"Tigress," I said, my voice filled with sincerity, "there's something else I want to do."

Before she could respond, I leaned in slowly, closing the distance between us. The moment our lips met, time seemed to stand still. It was a gentle, heartfelt kiss, a silent expression of the gratitude and affection I felt for her.

When we finally pulled away, Tigress's eyes were wide with surprise, and a blush colored her cheeks. I couldn't help but smile, feeling a warmth spread through my chest.

"Tigress," I said softly, "thank you for being you. For being an amazing friend, for understanding, and for being patient with me."

She smiled back, her eyes reflecting the moonlight. "Thank you for being open with me, Ryan. Romantic partners support each other, no matter what."
I smiled finally glad, that I got this off my chest.
"Do we uh? Tell the rest that we kissed?" I asked curiously and scared.
"No absolutely not" Tigress said pulling me into a hug.
