Keenai doesn't stop me. Instead, he pulls me against himself. His lips are soft, I don't stop to think for a second if this is right or wrong.
I deepen the kiss, and he moans into my mouth. I don't remember ever hearing something so pleasing. All of a sudden, he breaks away.
He hesitates before asking, "What was that?"
"I-I don't know." I shake my head and back out of his embrace. "I'm sorry, I didn't think."
He takes ahold of my arm just as I'm about to turn away. "It's okay. Did it...um..."
"What?"
"Did it soothe you?" He looks embarrassed as he says this.
I run that thought through my mind a few times. "Yeah. I guess it did have the same effect."
His eyes light up. "Instead of cutting yourself, why don't you try to find someone that will care about you and help you forget the pain?"
"What?"
"I can help you find different ways to cope with the pain, ways that are healthy. In this state, anyone could take advantage of you. Don't let anyone tell you that your feelings are stupid, or that you're broken. You're a beautiful soul who just needs a little help." He smiles and I have the urge to grab his face and kiss him again.
"Alright." I sniffle and he smiles.
