My Gladiator Family

Chapter 33

~ORCHID'S P.O.V.~

 After Taurtis and Blue left for their date, I allowed myself in Blue and Dom's dorm. "Dom?" I called out in the room. Dom was looking out the window. He turned around to see me, and his face seemed to redden. "Are you ok?" I asked. He looked at me quizzingly. "Why do you care?" he asked, sounding a bit upset. "What, I can't be concerned for someone I care for?" I said, weakly smiling. He let out a huge sigh and turned around to look out the window again. I slowly walked closer to him. I stood by him and looked him in the eyes, but he just kept staring out the window.

 "Dom?" I said again. "What?!" he said, annoyed. I was a bit surprised when he exclaimed. "S-Sorry.." I said quietly. He realized he scared me and his face burned. "No no, sorry, Orchid!!" he said, begging forgiveness. "It's ok.." I said. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. I felt my face burn up. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. He took off his purple hat to reveal his wolf ears. "I don't have to worry about you judging me, r-right?" he said nervously. "Of course you don't have to worry!" I said to comfort him. He took out his furry, grey wolf tail. He rubbed his furry ears against my face and I laughed as it tickled me. I petted his wolf ears and he made a purring-like sound. He immediately realized that and his eyes widened in embarrassment. "Oh gord.." he said embarrassed, his face quickly burning up. "It's ok, it's cute!" I admitted, laughing. He let go of me and lead me to the kitchen.

 "I know everyone is having a date or somethin, so... " he said, shuffling his feet, staring down at his shoes. "Are you asking me out on a date?" I asked, giggling. He tensed up, "M-Maybe, I guess, I don't know.." he said slowly. "Well, if you are asking me out on a date, yes." I said, my face burning up. He looked up to me, eyes widened, as if surprised I'd go out with him. "Seriously?" he said surprised. "Why wouldn't I?" I said, laughing. He smiled weakly and his wolf tail started swinging around happily. He stared at me in some sort of trance for a minute, not noticing his tail swinging. "Dom, your tail is so cute!" I said. He snapped out his trance and looked at his tail, eyes widened. He started chasing his tail in a circle. "COME ON!!" he exclaimed. He kept chasing his tail a circle, trying to grab it. "Dom, let me help you!" I said as I ran over to him. "Nah, I got it!!" he said, still struggling to get his tail. I stopped him from keeping on going in circles, and he grabbed his tail. "HA!" he exclaimed. I took his tail from his hands and I petted it. His face immediately turned a dark red. "Your fur is soft!" I said, smiling. His tail started tickling my arm and I pulled away. "Don't pet my tail, it tickles!" he exclaimed. I laughed and we walked to the couch and sat down next to each other. We watched Bee Movie together.

~30 MINUTES LATER~

 We were still watching the movie together on the couch. I scooted closer to him. He noticed and his face burned up. He continued to keep his vision directed to the TV, but I felt his arm stretch over behind me and his hand rested on my shoulder, pulling me closer. I laid my head on his shoulder and I felt his wolf tail come wrap around my waist, and pulling me even closer. "You're pretty.." he admitted, still trying not to look at me. I used my hand to guide his head to face me. He looked me in my eyes and I looked him in his crystal brown eyes. He pressed his lips against mine and I melted into the kiss. I kissed him back passionately and he kissed me back passionately. I kissed him back again, and he pulled away for air. His face turned red again and he turned his head to stare at the screen again. I rested my head on his shoulder again and he rubbed my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around his waist and closed my eyes.

 "Orchid?" I woke up to Dom's voice. I opened my eyes and saw I was laying on his lap. "Did you fall asleep?" he asked. "Ya.." I admitted rubbing my eyes. "Was the movie that boring??" he asked. "No, I just haven't gotten a good night's rest." I said. It was silent for a minute.

 "The movie was boring wasn't it."

"Yup"

 "Well, luckily, the movie is over." he said. I got up from laying down on him. We stood up to say goodbye. He kissed me lightly on my lips and I kissed him back gently. "Goodbye.." Dom said, somewhat sadly as I gripped the doorknob. "Goodbye.." I said, weakly smiling, as I exited the dorm room and closed the door behind me. I walked back to my dorm room and laid down on my bed. I took a deep sigh of relief and closed my eyes.
