Kisses in the Dark ~ An Aarmau Story

Him

Aphmau POV

How did they know! Was it really that obvious?! I don't know how Laurance and Garroth are going to react to this.

"Uh....." I say blushing a bright red. I didn't know what to say and it looked as if Laurance had been crushed. I'm sorry, I want to say to you but I don't think I have the courage to tell him.

"And it's OKKKKKK" says Laurance. Oh my god thank the lord. I can't believe he said it was ok, but it seemed like he was doing it just to make me happy. I forced a smile and hugged him.

"Thank you...." I whisper into his ear.

"Just know that I love you," he whispers back, "and I want..... the best for you." I was surprised about how much I wanted to kiss him.

"Uh! I have to go....."I say, a bit astonished. I walk back to Aaron. We say nothing but look into each others eyes. My heart is filled up, happiness is filled up with in me, "did you just try to replicate the time you asked me to prom?" I say teasingly, trying to break the awkwardness amongst us.

"Uh... Kawaii~Chan...." Aaron says, blushing a bright shade of red "she... uh.... suggested me to this,"

At this point I was blushing too, I know she shipped us and she has a shrine and everything, but how did she know about the time when Aaron asked me to prom.... Kawaii~Chan and her stalking habits... I'll never know!

"Well, it's getting late. We should go," says Zane.

"Yeah..." says Garroth. We all said our goodbyes and the guests left, including Aaron.

"Well that was a EVENTFUL evening," says Katelyn. I just giggle, I'm blushing bright red.

"Aww! Aphmau~Senpai is love sick!" says Kawaii~Chan as we enter the house.

"I'm going to be watching Aaron.... very closely," Katelyn says narrowing her eyes.

"Really?" I say with disbelief, "Well I don't feel like cleaning this mess up so let's do it tomorrow," We all agree, because I don't want Katelyn to use Kawaii~Chan as a punching bag in the morning, she usually does that when she's grumpy.

"Well, night guys," says Katelyn and we head back to our rooms and sleep.

Aaron POV

I.... I can't believe it. She actually said yes, I love her so much, but will I be good enough for her? She- She's amazing and all and-

"Hey Bro, need love advice? I can see you're a bit worried," says Garroth behind me.

"Uh... Yeah, I guess," I say.

"Don't worry she's liked you since high school, you guys are perfect for each other, I mean, come on, you two have been best friends since high school," says Garroth supportingly, I was really touched, I thought he would be mad... "I know, this might seem hard, but listen, Laurance and I will be fine, I was only tagging a long with Laurance anyway, my feelings for her have faded after we all went to college."

"Oh... well I guess," I say.

"Well, this is my stop, see you around," says Garroth. After he leaves I feel so relieved, I'm really glad that Garroth is ok with this. I just don't really know what to say, I'm lost for words. I should sleep as soon as I get home.

~ The Next Morning ~

I wake up and I'm still blushing, suddenly a *ding* noise comes from my phone, it's Aaron.

Aaron: Hey, you up?

I immediately text back: Yeah, I mean it is 7:00, I'm surprised your up XD

Aaron: B-)

Oh my god, not that face again, I've hated that face since high school, ugh... He does know how to make me smile.

Aaron: look outside your window

What? Oh my god, don't tell me he's outside right now! I look outside and there he is, holding a bouquet of flowers, I wonder how long he's been down there.

"Hey!" He says to me.

"Wait a minute I'm coming down," I say as I rush down the stairs.

"HOLD UP!" Says Zane jumping out of no where.

"GAH!!! Zane! What the! Where did you come from!" I say shocked.

"I'm not Zane! I'm your dad! Can't you see this manly mustache!" He says in a manly voice.

"Listen, dad I have to get cupcakes!" I lie playing along.

"Why of course! As long as you let me have one!" says Zane "dad".

"Bye!" I say running down the rest of the stairs.  I open the door and see Aaron waiting for me, same bouquet and same old smile.

"Hey, what about you and me go out to that new year carnival, it's nothing special for our first date but at least..." He trails off, and we both blush in silence. Our hearts racing, and our eyes locking for seem like eternity.

"Do you think I would say no?" I say.

"No, I guess not," he says.

"Pick me up at 5:00?" I ask.

"Deal... Potatoe," he says and goes off running down he street towards his house, and it starts to rain.

"Hey!" I say and run after him, he trips and I trip over him and we just laugh in the middle of the street, me on top of him. And I don't know what came over me but I went for the kiss and he didn't pull away. We sit there for a few minutes until we both get soaked.

"Maybe we should go to my house," he suggests.

"Yeah sure!" I say I'm still on top of him but he gets up and starts giving me a piggy back ride.

"Aaron! You don't have to do this!" I say.

"Yes I do! A short little potato won't be able to stand in this rain!" He says jokingly.

"Who you calling a potato!" I say. But he doesn't answer because we arrived at Aaron's house. 

"I'm pretty sure I have some of your clothes from a few years ago, when you were really chubby so it might fit," he says.

"I was not chubby in college!" I say.

"You were then but now your not, you just had a lot of baby fat!"  says Aaron innocently, i just roll my eyes. After I change I tell him I need to go home to have breakfast.

As I'm walking home I realise how happy I am with him. Him. I'm so glad to have Him.
