"I want to slide down the banister, but I'm kind of too scared." She said.

"I'll do it," I said, already jumping up onto the banister, clutching tight, so I wouldn't slide down till I was ready.

"Careful." She said, "Don't hurt yourself."

"I won't," I said, carefully letting go, letting myself slide down.

She jumped down the stairs in front of me. "I'll catch you."

I continued to slide, as I began to reach the end, she got there faster, grabbing me quickly as I slid off the banister, falling into her as I found my footing.

I took a long breath in, suddenly realizing how close we were standing to each other. I was about to back away when she suddenly leaned in and kissed me.

"Sorry." She apologized when she broke away.

"Sorry? Don't be sorry, that was nice."

"Really?" She asked, with a shy smile.

"Yeah," I said. "That was fine, I kind of want to slide down again."

"I'll catch you again."

"Will I get a kiss too?"

"Maybe."
