Space Girl (Keith X Reader)

KEITH

I woke up, Nitro was tapping me.
"Mmm?"

"Water?"

I took it, and drank. I set it aside, and pulled her into a hug. Friends can hug. I was still kind of embarrassed from earlier, spilling out my feelings like vomit.
"Thanks."

She patted my hair.
"No problem."

"I'm sorry."
I blurted out, and I felt her tense up.

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

"I'm sorry I kissed you."
I said slowly. She didn't respond for a long time. I rested my head on her shoulder, rested like that.

"I'm not."
She whispered after long silence.

"Why?"
I croaked.

"Don't tell anybody, but it was... different. My first, actually."
She admitted shyly. Nothing about Nitro was shy, and I blushed.

"Do you want to try again?"

She looked at me suddenly, her eyes widening in shock.
"Try what?"

I kissed her on the cheek softly, inhaling her scent before putting my face in the crook of her neck.
"Like, just as friends, you know?"

She smiled painfully.
"I'm not sure that's what friends do..."

I started drifting off to a deep sleep.
"Then maybe we're not supposed to be friends, hmmm?"

Nitro's breath hitched, and she kissed my neck after pushing away my hair gently. I smiled sadly.
"Maybe."
