I'm Right Here ~ Zanemau

Kiss

I know! I know. Last chapter there was a slight kiss.

No! NO admitted feelings yet so the kiss wasn't intentional.

Good. Now read, please?

PS. Golly chicken nuggets, 601 reads? What you people do to me...

Zane's POV

My face reddens when I remember the little kiss we had a week ago.

It was so awkward opening my eyes and feeling her soft lips on mine and....

GAH! Don't think about that! Don't think about what Travis is probably thinking about Katelyn!

Stupid emotions. I wish I didn't have them. But maybe I wouldn't have been friends with Aphmau. Hmm.....

Sometimes I wished I had confessed to her before she dated Aaron.... Although, they had been quite close on the gaming side and found out about each other in high school. Had I not been so infatuated with Gene....

I shake my head. No. I can't think about that. I sigh as I kicked the rock off the sidewalk.

A branch fell on my head and I look up to see a cheeky gray squirrel that was somehow wearing a red and yellow scarf... Probably someone's pet who ran away. It seemed familiar, though....

I grumble and think to myself, I hate you, karma.

Aphmau's POV

I was absently chopping the lettuce for salads we're going to have for lunch.

I was thinking about the little kiss from a week ago. My face turns into ten shades of red. I chopped the lettuce faster, still thinking about the kiss up in LaLaLand...

Of course, until Vylad had to hold my hand so I wouldn't chop my fingers off.

"Jeez, Aphmau. What are you thinking about? You could've chopped those fingers off and I wouldn't know what to do!" Vylad exclaimed as he pried my cold fingers off the knife and placing it in the sink.

Vylad cocked his head to the side and said, "Well, I best be going".

"Hey, Vylad," I called out before he left. He turned around in acknowledgement.

"Are you gay?" The brunette's eyes widened and his cheeks burned a crimson red.

"W-what kind of random question is that? I'm not g-gay!"Vylad stuttered as he gripped his hoodie.

"I don't know. Just thought if you were gay you'd look cute with Dante," I smirked, leaning on the counter as Vylad looked like he was going to explode from embarrassment. (Yes I ship it, don't judge meh)

"U-u-uh, I b-better leave now. G-garroth asked me to...h-help today! Yes! He asked me to help him today," Vylad stuttered as he made up an excuse.

"With what?" I raised my eyebrows suggestively. Vylad's face turned a darker shade of red.

"S-something! Okay, I have to go now or I'll be late! Bye!" Vylad quickly ran out the door and I shook my head at his obviousness.

 I stopped cooking, not feeling the mood to do anything. When I was about to go up the stairs, I felt a stare boring into my head.

I quickly turned my head, almost getting whiplash, but saw nothing. I swore I saw black and red but that must be my imagination, right?

I shook my head at the crazy thought. No way. He was gone for a while. He is not there. And with that, I walked up the stairs into my room to read Septiplier fanfiction.

Zane's POV

I went to Aph's house and saw my little brother run out with a tomato face. I only stared at him, and decided that if I intervened and asked Aph she would somehow make me help her do her schemes.

I was about to knock when I see a guy run down the opposite way I was going. He was far away and I couldn't quite see him clearly, but all I saw was red and black.

Deciding I would kick Aaron's butt if it was him, I knocked on the door. Steps thundered inside the house and the door opened only to reveal a crazed Aphmau.

She had a Septic Sam shirt that had a pink mustache on it, with Septiplier emblazoned underneath it. Stripes of red and green decorated her face and a bandanna was in her raven hair, also saying Septiplier.

She showed me her phone, that had a picture of Markiplier and Jacksepticeye kissing. She twirled as if she was drunk and landed on the couch.

I closed the door behind as I entered and Aphmau was sighing as she looked at the picture again and squealed.

"Man, I wish I could hear Mark's voice all day...." Aph said under her breath but I heard it clearly. I promised to myself that I would learn how to imitate Mark's voice the best I can.

"Ooh! Maybe I should make a Septiplier fanfic! Ooh! And you and Travis could be Mark and Jack!" Aphmau dashed upstairs and came back down with a notebook that she started to scribble on.

I sighed. I knew which ship she was talking about. Zanvis.... What? I know all my ships. Well, only because I saw Aphmau's scrapbook of ships...

I walked behind her and leaned over her shoulder. She tensed but relaxed when she realized it was me.

She was writing about some conversation about Mark having a baby.... I'm not going to question it.

I laid my head by her neck and Aphmau started to pant. I held her shoulders to try and calm her down but she breathed heavier.

"Aph, you okay?" I asked worriedly.

"I-i-i'm f-fine, Z-zane!" she stuttered. I turned her head around and her face had a deathly blush. 

I was looking into her eyes when she suddenly leaned forward, pulled my mask down, and laid her soft lips on mine.

I was unresponsive for a second before something in my head turned on and I moved my lips against hers. 

She grasped my hair and I held her hips. I felt shivers up my spine and after a while she pulled back, gasping for breath.

We leaned our foreheads against each others as she gripped my freckle-covered cheeks (A/N: Zane had freckles, right?).  We were staring into each other's eyes when a voice rang out.

"Well, Jess. We didn't really expect to barge into this situation, didn't we?"
