Falling - Benny and Nina - An Adapted In The Heights Roleplay (COMPLETE)

36 - Falling Connected

In a spur of the moment heat, she put her hands on the back of his head, pulled him in and kissed him. She went softer as she waited for him to kiss back.

At first Benny was shocked that she had suddenly kissed him. His hand shot into her hair and without a second of hesitation he kissed back. He matched her intensity but half hoped that she'd increase it. He let her take the lead not wanting to go farther than her wishes.

Since he kissed back, she intensified her power. Things were beginning to get a bit heated.

As the kiss became more intense, Benny had shivers down his spine. He continued to almost massage her head as he held his hand there, holding her close. He continued to follow Nina's lead as she continued to increase the intensity.

Not wanting to exhaust herself too early, she slowed a bit, but then kept it at a steady pace. She felt the heat.

Benny held her tightly, as their kiss became significantly bigger and into a strong and passionate, yet still affectionate make out, he felt the heat, he felt alive, he felt wanted, he felt needed but most of all he felt loved.

She melted into the kiss. It felt not only heated, but loving, and affectionate. Nina loved it.

As much as Benny loved it, he was beginning to feel lightheaded from a lack of oxygen, he knew he had to pull back, just for a second to get some air. He felt horrible, but it had to be done. He pulled back, took a deep breath, "God, I love you so much" he told her and pulled her back in, pushing her lips against his and continuing their strong and heated yet loving and affectionate kiss.

She'd like to have returned the "I love you," but she was pulled back in too quickly. Her eyes closed as she leaned more into the kiss.

He closed his eyes as well and held Nina's head to his, taking it all in. He never wanted it to end. He wanted to be able to hold and kiss Nina like this forever. But he knew that wasn't possible, Nina was going back to Stanford whether she wanted to or not, and he wouldn't be there. He thought about asking her again if he could move out with her. He created a list in his head of all the things he had to talk to her about. The majority were things he knew he'd find upsetting, emotional and hard to talk about, but it had to be done. While the thoughts ran through his head, he continued to kiss Nina with just as much passion as the first kiss.

Nina wanted more than anything to go on, but was once again, she was emotionally exhausted to the point where she physically couldn't. She pulled back, practically panting.

When Nina pulled back he wasn't upset by any means. He was exhausted. He joined in with Nina panting until he eventually caught his breath back. "That was incredible." He said, still holding her just at an arm's length away.

She silently agreed, nodding. "Shall we go inside? It's a bit hot out here." The heat from the sun, rather than them, was setting in.

"Let's", he took ahold of her hand interlocking their fingers. He smiled at her and then he led her inside. He went to the kitchen to start making breakfast. "What do you want sweetie?"

"Hm," she said. Suddenly, Nina had an idea. "I'll cook."

"You sure?" She nodded. "Okay then, take it away. I might go get changed then. I'll be back in a moment."

"Alright." She gathered some pepperoni, bacon, and some muffin mix, along with some measuring cups, a plate, a pan, and a muffin pan. She put the pepperoni on the plate, then popped them into the microwave for five minutes. She then took the muffin mix and mixed the milk and eggs in with a whisk. When it was done, she put liners in the pan and then poured in the mix. She put it into the preheated oven, setting the timer as the box said, and moved onto the bacon. Nina put the bacon in a pan on the burner and turned it on medium, cooking a few pieces crispy and others more softly, not knowing how Benny liked his bacon. When she was done, she had delicious blueberry muffins, chewy and crispy bacon, and crunchy pepperoni chips.

Benny, went to his room and changed. He sat on the bed for a few moments and decided what order to talk to Nina about all that was going on in. He could smell bacon from the kitchen and his mouth watered. He went back out wearing a different shirt and a pair of shorts. It felt nice to change into casual clothes in the morning rather than his uniform he had to wear for work. He walked up to Nina and hugged her from behind. "Smells good baby girl. I can't wait to delve in."

"Mmhm. Do you like your bacon crunchy or soft?" She put around fifteen pepperoni chips on the plate, along with a muffin. Before she could put any bacon on, however, she had to wait for an answer.

"I don't mind, I like both. You choose what you want, and I'll have the rest."

"Alright," she put half of the crunchy and all of the soft on his plate, taking the other three crunchy ones for herself. Nina handed the plate to him and then dished out her own.

He took the plate and grabbed a knife and fork each for him and Nina. He sat down at the table and waited for Nina to come join him.

She followed and sat down beside him and picked up the fork, as she didn't see that a knife was necessary. She thought that Benny might be happy to eat something, but when she sat down, she saw a worried look on his face. "¿Cuál es el problema, cariño?" she asked, a hint of doubt in her strong voice.

"As I'm sure you know, we need to talk at some point today about everything that's going on. So, I'm worried about that, and am still terrified of what your dad will say about us."

"I know about those, Benny. But I know there's something else. Just spit it out. It'll be alright."

"You going back to Stanford. I don't think I can do it. I can't be here alone, without you. I was beginning to think I could do it but after our kisses on the fire escape, I realized just how much I love you and how I can't leave you. It makes me sound weak, I know." He looked down at the place to food and ate a few bits of bacon.

She internally groaned. He wasn't saying everything, and she knew it. There was something else in there, she could see it in his eyes. "Benny, baby, listen to me. It doesn't make you sound weak. You're in love, and so am I, and love is stronger than everything else. I just," she said, but cut herself off. Honestly, she didn't know how to say what she wanted to.

"Can we finish eating, then talk after. This food is amazing, and I don't want to ruin it by talking about this thing." Benny said quietly.

"Okay," she said, accepting that he didn't want to dampen the mood. She didn't really like the food much, as she burnt the muffins a bit and the bacon was still too much of a mix between chewy and crunchy. The only part she really enjoyed was the pepperoni chips, but she kept her mouth shut. When they finished, she waited for him to start talking about 'it', whatever 'it' was.
