Eldritch [the original]

Chapter 11 ~ Are you coming?

        He continued to cry with me in his arms, and me, being the awkward idiot I am, had no idea how to respond. After a minute or so I slowly raised my trembling hands and hugged him back, and I sniffled out of habit. "I'm sorry." he muttered again. He said it over and over and I kept telling him it was just fine, over and over. "Vincecho," I said clearly, nudging him away from me slightly, so I could see his tear stained face. I cupped his face in my hands. I didn't really know what I was doing or how to go about doing it, but I was going to go for it, "It's fine." I said again, and he sniffled. He just looked at me with sad, worried eyes. So I took the chance, the oppurtunity, and I kissed him. He didn't know what to do at first and it must have shocked him because he even removed his hands from my body. He was completely unresponsive for a moment before he slowly moved his hands up and held my head, his fingers behind my ears and his thumb pressed against my cheek, and he kissed me back. I thought about the time he'd pinned me down and forced another kiss upon me, and I thought about how I had wondered if we would ever have a real kiss. One I'd welcome. And I remembered doubting it. But here we are. Having a real kiss. He pulled away too soon. 

        "T-thank you." he said, stuttering. I managed a bleak smile. "C'mon," I said, "Let's go upstairs." I suggested. He nodded in response, leaning away from me entirely and starting up the stairs. I stopped and looked at the doorway to the second room. "Are you coming?" He called. "Yeah!" I responded, trampling up the stairs. 

(A/n): Sorry it's a short chapter, I wanted to get this part written and I have stuff to do so I thought I'd go ahead and release this short little bit of cuteness. I'll be back my fantabulous readers!
