"Does that mean my hugs are as good as Alex's then?"

I can hear Lena's heart beating extremely fast and I can't help but become curious if it's me doing it to her. My lips are so close to her neck, she can probably feel me breathing on it. Her skin is so soft against my cheek.

"Even better." I mumble and I can feel her flinch as my breath sends vibrations down her body.

She looks down at me, an eyebrow raised.

"Really?" She asks, obviously not believing my statement, and I feel myself blushing like crazy.

Before taking recognition in what on earth I'm doing, I bury my head in her neck. What? Clearly I'm not thinking at all.

I don't realise until moments later, but my lips are actually pressed on her neck and I become so shocked and scared, I freeze and can't move.

I feel her shift uncomfortably under me so I pull back my head just slightly so that my lips aren't grazing her neck anymore.

A tingly sensation covers my lips and my whole body goes numb. She smells amazing.

"Do you want to put on a movie or something? Or do you just wanna stay here and sleep?" She asks uncharacteristically awkward.

"Stay here and sleep."

In all fairness, she is super comfy and I really can't be bothered to get up. I'm afraid of falling asleep in case I have another nightmare about Krypton or in case I start murmuring stuff in Kryptonese, something I normally do when I have nightmares about Krypton, according to Alex.

"If that's okay? It's totally fine if you want to go home."

"No, no. I want to make sure you're alright. If you want me to stay?"

"Of course." I reply, looking up at her and smiling weakly.

"Do you want to talk about it? Does it make it better?"

She runs her hand up and down my arm and I feel a rush of warmth spread through me at her touch. It's so comforting.

"Well," I start, partial lie on the tip of my tongue. "I keep having nightmares about when my parents died in the house fire. But this time, it wasn't just them in the house."

I didn't dare mention that she was there as well.

"That must be horrible," she trails off. "Can I touch you?"

What?

Our bodies are basically pressed together already and, I'm not sure how she intended that to come off as but I think I took it the wrong way.

I look up at her with a bewildered expression just to find her cheeks tinted pink. I want to earth to swallow me whole. Instead, I nod my head. She adjusts her position so that we are face to face.

I swallowed hard. Even though it was so dark, she looks... stunning.

She cups one of my cheeks with her palm and delicately brushes a stray tear away. We catch each other's gaze and I can't seem to look away.

It is so dark in the room, the only light coming from some light upstairs. I don't know why I didn't turn on a light or anything but I guess I should be grateful because it means Lena can't clearly see how flustered I am.

Her eyes are so green and as I search them, her finger brushes against the indent in my left eyebrow.

The whole world stops and all I can hear is the ringing of my heartbeat in my head. It's intoxicating. We gaze into each others eyes for what feels like forever as she runs her thumb up and down my cheek.

She lowers her thumb to just under my chin and I wanted to cry. Her soft, caring touch broke me in a twisted, satisfying way.

She slowly and gently raises my chin with her hand, making me look up at her.

I get lost in her eyes. Like I had dived into the ocean and I was drowning and couldn't come back up. All the air has been knocked out of me and I'm gasping for air.

I go lightheaded, seeing how close we are.

I bite my lip.

I feel myself leaning closer as my breathing speeds up and I could've sworn I'm having a slight heart attack.

We are only moments away. So close, yet so far.

I could smell her sweet perfume radiating from her. I literally feel like I'm about to explode with all of the different emotions and thoughts zooming around my head.

Does she like me back? Does she want this? Do I want this? That's a stupid question, of course I do.

Pros and cons are flooding my head and I feel like I'm about to faint.

For some reason, I place my hand on her hip and I hear her gulp loudly as she shifts uncomfortably.

"Is this okay?" I whisper. She can probably feel my breath on her face, we are that close.

She nods slightly and I swear she's leaning in closer as well.

We are only inches apart and all I have to do is lean in a tiny bit further and we would be touching.

I gently close my eyes, my heart beating so fast, freaking out about the consequences of what I'm about to do.

I can't back out now. Not when I am this close. This close to getting what I've dreamed of.

Anxiously, I start chewing on my lip. My breathing is heavy and my eyes are fluttering shut.

I feel Lena's breath on my face before I lean in closer.

Although, it's Lena who closes the small gap between us. I'm met by the softest of lips and my stomach starts going mad.

My head is spinning and I freeze. Words won't do the sensation justice.

My stomach is doing backflips, my heart is pounding so fast. All of these feelings in a matter of seconds.

It was a short kiss and I don't think either of us expected it. We break apart and I slowly open my eyes, to see Lena's still closed.

Oh no, what have I done?
