Ship Stories (Kirby ships) [DISCONTINUED]

Knuckle Joe x Sirica

Knuckle Joe wandered around, aimlessly trying to find the missing meowing machine, Star Meme. He didn't even know what it looked like. All he'd been told was that it was a clock-looking thing, about the size of a huge beanbag, with a shooting star on its catlike face and a knob on top. Just then, he spotted Sirica.

Seriously? Of all people, why does SHE have to be the one I encounter on my search? he thought. He turned away, knowing he was starting to blush - a lot.

Sirica turned to him with a concerned look on her face. "Something wrong, Joe?" she asked.

Knuckle Joe turned to her and sighed. She was so cute. He could feel himself blushing even more now. He wasn't whether or not he should tell her about his, well... feelings for her. He had a huge crush on her. Turning away, he blushed even more and bashfully buried his face in his hands. "Nothing's wrong."

"You sure?" He could hear her approaching. Suddenly, he felt the back of a fist lightly tap his back.

He turned. "Hmm?"

Sirica hugged him, nuzzling the left side of his neck. At first Joe's eyes almost popped out of his head, but then he closed them in relaxation. He gently rubbed his face onto her neck, burying it under her chin. Humming contentedly, he lowered his nose on her chest and hugged her back.

Reluctantly, they pulled back.

"Hey, Joe?"

"Yeah?"

Sirica lowered her head and shut her eyes. "I love you."

Joe looked up, his eyes filled with hope. He gave her a sad smile, except he wasn't sad at all. He was happy.

"I... I love you too."

And with that...

He leaned forward, shut his eyes, laid his hands on her shoulders, and kissed her on the lip.
