[6/7] d e l i c a t e .

It took a total of 12 dates for Donny to ask Kisses to be his girlfriend. (Twelve and a half if you count the one time Kisses stopped by at the end of Donny's shift to have lunch with him on the bench outside the shop before his classes started.)

Coincidentally, it was the first time he kissed her—or, she kissed him. Don't get him wrong though, he was going to kiss her, she just beat him to it. At least, that's what he tells himself instead of admitting to the fact that his heart was in his throat and this was the most nervous he'd ever been in his life.

The two were leaning against Donny's car, saying goodnight to each other before Kisses left to go back to her dorm.

"I had fun. Again," Kisses said, a smile playing on her pink lips. "You've surprisingly been a good date."

"Surprisingly? I could say the same for you."
"Hey, you're the one who keeps asking me out."
"And you're the one who keeps saying yes."
"I'm still deciding if it was worth it."

Donny rolled his eyes, bumping shoulders with her. She bumped him back before they fell into a comfortable silence.

The night breeze was warm against Donny's skin but nothing compared to the fire he felt when Kisses' fingertip would brush against the sensitive skin of his wrist. She did this multiple times before trailing her fingers to his palm. She grabbed his hand in hers and played with his digits, feeling the calluses yet also knowing how gentle he was. It made her heart flutter in a sickening way. Swallowing the thick lump in her throat, Kisses laced her fingers through his and finally looking up to meet his eyes.

"I like you so much." The statement was sudden and Donny's voice had cracked but his eyes, while holding a small amount of fear and doubt, were determined. "And I want to be the one who you call at 3AM when you can't sleep or when you've had a shit day and all you can do is complain. I want to be the one you can come to for anything, no matter what it is, good or bad."

"Yeah." Unable to clear the fog from her mind, it was the only thing that Kisses could think of to say.

"Yeah?"

Lips seemed to speak for her because the next thing she knew, she was pulling his head down, her hands were cupping Donny's jaw and her lips were on his. Heat exploded under her skin and her knees felt like they were going to buckle when she felt him gripping at her hips but at the same time she thought she'd be okay if the sun decided to burn out or the ground under her feet gave out because a beautiful galaxy appeared behind her closed eyes and Donny gave that to her.

When they pulled away, she laughed breathlessly, pressing her face into his shoulder. Her cheeks were burning but in the most pleasant way possible.

"I like you so much," Donny repeated into her hair. All Kisses could do was nod, fingers tightening in the fabric of his jacket. "Can I take this as a 'yes' for being your boyfriend?"

A muffled laugh against his shoulder was all he needed but the quiet, "Yes" made it even better.
