Now You Notice Me

Is he ... Blushing? Ch.5

     I know exactly what he is thinking.
     "Yes Kevin the scar is still hidden under there"
     "Oh sorry I didn't mean to~"
     "Eh it's fine I don't care". I take my hand from his shoulder and head to the kitchen. "Want something to drink?"
     "Ya sure. I'll have some water"
     "So was that all you had to say pumpkin or do you want to rant some more?"
     "Oh well I guess that's all I had to say but~"
     "But you can't resist my sexy charm can you?" I say in a teasing manor as I hand him his water. I like the guy do of course I'm going to flirt with him and I feel like this is my chance since he feels guilty and all. I'm a pretty bad person but hey at least it's fun.
     I look him in the eye once he has the glass firmly in his hands and I can't believe my eyes! Is he blushing? I can't help the fact that my heart just completely melted. God this guy calls me a dork when he's the one blushing at some harmless teasing. Shit ... Is my ... Is my nose bleeding?!?
     "Oh shit dork your nose is bleeding!"
     "Ya thanks for that capitan obvious. Can you pass me the tissues behind you?". He passes me the tissues and I fix my self right up. I can't believe I got a nice bleed ... Was it because of Kevin blushing?
     "Are you ok now dork?"
     "Ya I'm fine but can you please refrain from calling me dork. We aren't in middle school anymore Kevin"
     "Sorry dor~ uh Edd"
     "So anyway now that this is all situated .... What do you want?"
      "Well I though that maybe we could talk?"
     "About...?"
     "I uh I don't know .... Sports?"
     "Sports? That's the best you can come up with? It's like you're on your first date or something" and just like that he blushes again. What's going on with him? "Anyway ya sure sports lets talk about it". A few seconds go by and he has said nothing .... He's doing it again he's just starring at me ... What on earth is going through his mind.
     I lean my face in towards him as if to peer into his mind and see what he's thinking. This wakes him up. He stumbles back a little and runs into the wall.
     "Ha ha .... Man what is going on with you? Are you ok?"
     "Ya it's just that I wasn't paying attention and you startled me .... I'm sorry I'm not normally like this but I just I'm not sure how to act around you. You're not the same as I used to know so I have to get used to who you are now"
     "What ever you say jockstrap". He gives me an angry look but that slowly dissipates into a subtle laugh.
"That's clever did you come up with that your self brainiac?"
"Why yes actually I did and did you come up with 'brainiac' your self smart guy because that was very original" I said teasingly
"No actually it's just a dumb jock thing. We all have the same insults for everyone. They are very generic actually. Hey here's an idea, how about you become a jock and you can help us write some new ones since you seem to be the smart guy here" he says giving me a smirk
Oh so he wants to play then now does he? Ok then let's play.
"Well you see I would but there is a standard that I just don't meet"
"Oh ya? And what is that standard? Being popular and good with the ladies?"
"No actually. You can't have a maximum of 2 brain cells. You see it used to me 1 but it got lonley and died so they had to raise it to 2 so that their dumb jocks could actually function"
"Wow ok that one hurt ... And for your information it's 3 now because the other 2 would eventually get bored of each other" he says going along with the game.
I have to admit I have no clue where this is going but it's nice to have Kevin in my house even if we are just bantering on and on.
     "Well I guess that makes you the exception though" he continues before I could come up with a counter. "I mean for a jock you're pretty smart. Jeez for a genius you're pretty smart"
     "Well you see that's because I'm not a jock. I just enjoy the water and I'm good at what I do. Nothing more" I explain to him. He looks down and away like he just failed a qui he studied for. But why? Wait ... Was that a flirt? Was he flirting with me when he said that? Did I just shoot him down?
     "Wait did you just try to flirt with me?"
     "What?!?!" His face instantly turns red. Why does he leave himself so open like this? I'm not complaining or anything, I'm throughly enjoying his adorable reactions but I'm just not used to such an easily toyed with Kevin. I wonder how much redder he can get?
     I step in closer to him and he backs away but he doesn't get far since he's still pretty close to the wall already. I don't stop though, I keep going. I rest my forearm ring at his shoulder on the wall and look down into those incredible eyes of his. I squint my eyes and give him a tilted smile. He still hasn't given me an answer, all he said was 'what'.
     "Well?"
     "What?"
     "You never told me if you were flirting with me or not"
     "Well of course not. I'm not gay or anything. I'm not going to hit on you"
     I lean in closer just barely inches from his face. I just wanted to see if he would try to resist my advances. To my surprise he doesn't. Well he might not be gay but he sure doesn't mind if I were to kiss him. I really want to kiss him right now, I'm sure I could get away with it but I want to keep messing with him.
     I lean away and turn away from him walking a few steps from him. "Well that's a damn shame now isn't it"
     "What?"
     "Oh nothing. So Mr.Barr what if I were to flirt with you?" I mean I already am but what will he say?
     "I uh I'm not sure. I guess it would depend on what you did". This is intriguing.
     "What if I just casually called you cute?" I too a step closer.
     "Well I guess it wouldn't be too bad"
     "What if I were to brush my hand against your strong arms?" I take another step closer.
     "I uh well it's just my arm so it's not weird or anything"
     "What if I were to brush my hand against yours for a prolonged period of time?" I take 1 more step.
     "As long as your not holding my hand I don't see how that would harm anybody" his voice is slowly softening and I'm not going to like its kind of suductive.
     "What if I were to get real close to you?" I take my final step.
     "Umm I guess as long as we aren't touching I'm fine with it" I can tell he is fighting some kind of internal conflict. Damn I thought I was suducing you but in reality he's got me melting.
     "And what if ... Let's say ... I kiss you? Would that be fine?" As I say this I hear his breath hick and I can feel it against my neck.
     "I ... I'm not sure" he says as he lightly licks his lips.
     "Should we find out?". I've got him now.
