You and Shotaro are best friends since a long time ago. You two met when you sit beside him in the first day of high school, and from that day on you are always together. You like to make some things together as like watching movies, having lunch, order something to each, etc. Your friendship is based on trust and company.
After many basic and common days together, Shotaro started to have a weird feeling lately. Actually, not exactly a feeling, but a certain curiosity. How would it feel like if he kissed you? That thought first crossed his mind some time ago and he just laughed at himself, thinking that that was a crazy thing to think about. You are his best friend. Someone who is always with him, but in a company way. Why would he need to have a close contact with you? That's what he asked himself, but now he has been more and more curious.
The fact of it be practically impossible made it even more questioning for him. Would it be weird? Or maybe good? How would you react to that? What is the taste of your lips? How would you look like while doing that? Many questions were running inside his mind making it impossible to focus on the movie on the screen. Not that it was a problem, since you were on your cellphone at his side on the couch.
The curiosity was killing him. He just wanted to know. At first he was holding himself back because it could be dangerous, and, at the same time, he was too shy to talk about it, but that's consuming him every time he looks at you.
-Y/n... - He calls your name in a low tone and you glance at him from the other side of the couch for a second before coming back to your phone.
-Uhm? – You hum to him to talk while on the TV passes a random show that both of your were too bored to watch.
-You know... I've been thinking about something lately. – He starts while you are still there seeing your things. – I mean, ehrm... I saw in a video that... was actually kinda funny. – Shotaro starts trying to not sound nervous. That was a lie. – It said that when we have a best friend, soon or later you would imagine yourself, like, kissing them. - He says and you look at him. – Have you ever thought about it? Like, us... kissing? – He asks and gulps. You stare at him for a couple of seconds and he immediately regrets his question. "Omg, why did I ask that." He thinks. You chuckle looking at your cellphone again.
-Why are you asking that? – You say with a smile.
-Uhm, nothing. I was just curious about it. That would be crazy, right? – He jokes and you look at him again.
-Yeah, it would. But... I confess that I have thought about it before. – You say and he widens his eyes.
-Really? Do you feel curious about it? – He asks with a glance.
-Kinda. – You say looking at your phone and a silence forms in the room. – Do you want to try it? – You ask now turning your gaze to him and his heart goes to the moon and back.
-Yeah. – He says in a low tone, almost whispering that.
You nod looking at his eyes, also feeling a bit nervous. You have never did something like that with him. Everybody says you two look like cousins, but now it looks very different from that.
Shotaro fixes himself on the couch, getting closer to you. His heart is beating like crazy and his hands are sweating. For some reason, he is very nervous. He licks his lips focusing on yours. You touch him slowly in a peck. He stays there for a second, before you start to move opening a little your mouth. You try to kiss him, but something feels off. You pull away looking at him again.
-Shotaro, you're doing it wrong. – You whisper.
-S-Sorry. I'm a bit nervous. Let's try again. – He says and you nod. He takes a quick breathe so he could calm down.
Getting closer again, he pecks you lips multiple times before deepening it. You confess to yourself that it feels kind of good. Still a little tense, he opens his mouth again, letting his instinct guide him. It goes with some hesitance, that slowly fades with a discovery of a better feeling. Your kiss started to create rhythm which you two learn to sync.
"So this is how it feels to kiss her..." He thinks as he hand goes to the side of your face to bring more balance. You two switch side, bending your head to the other side, taking the opportunity to catch a breath between this. It's something so new to him. He wants more. His hand now slides to the back of your neck, pulling you even closer to him. Your breathing gets unbalanced as your best friend kisses you with so much passion, opening his mouth wider.
He is getting drunk. Drunk in that taste. When you finally pull away, you look at his eyes, almost closed, waiting for you to come back to the previous place you were.
-S-So? How was it? – You ask the boy who is still feeling mesmerized.
-That was... very good. – He says as a cold pain from a shiver rolls on your belly. Having him admitting that was kind of satisficing to you. – Can we do it again? Like, just to... - He shrugs. – Just to try it one more time. – He asks really hoping you would agree.
-Yeah...
