Falling Spectacularly - a pangwave fanfic

3

Wave and Pang's first real kiss wasn't anything special if you ask Wave.

Wave hasn't kissed anyone in his entire sixteen years of living. He wasn't expecting fireworks or anything spectacular like that. He was expecting his first kiss to be brief awkward contact with some faceless girl's mouth. Now that Wave had a boyfriend, he didn't know how to go about kissing. Of course Wave wanted to kiss Pang's stupid face, but how?

It was a Tuesday night and Wave was studying in the library with Pang nowhere in sight. Pang said he wanted to hang out with Ohm and Namtarn because he was spending all his free time with Wave and was neglecting his friends. Wave understood, even though he didn't have anyone to hang out with except for Pang. Wave knew that Pang was a lot more social than he was, and that was fine.

It was nearing nine in the evening when the door to the library slammed against the wall. Wave was shaken from his concentration, only to look up and find Ohm standing right in front of his table. Wave glared at Ohm. "What do you want?"

Ohm grinned but didn't say anything. Wave really didn't have the patience to deal with whatever shit Ohm was about to pull, so he rolled his eyes and got back to studying.

"Pang told me a secret about you," Ohm said. He moved to sit in the chair across from Wave.

"I'm sure he did," Wave said, not looking up from his book.

Ohm hummed a little. "He said that you and him watch movies together sometimes...and that you enjoy it? I never thought you, like, had any hobbies. All you do is complain and hack into the government's secret files or whatever. But you actually watch movies and don't sit around doing math for fun. It makes you seem more human."

Wave glared at Ohm. "Is this really the reason you wanted to annoy me? I'm busy, you know."

Ohm stared at Wave with wide eyes, but he didn't seem offended. Wave almost wished he was. "No, Pang told me to get you for him. He's having trouble with triangles or something."

Wave sighed and closed his textbook. "You should have said that first. Now I have a headache." Wave gathered all his things to put them in his bag. "Next time, tell him to get me himself."

With that, Wave left the library and Ohm behind. He made his way to Pang's dorm, but when he knocked, Pang didn't answer. Wave sighed and walked the twenty-five paces to his own room. He unlocked the door and found Pang sitting on his bed reading a volume of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

"Where did you even get that?" Wave pondered. He put his bag on his desk then joined Pang on the bed.

Pang didn't look up from his book. "Ohm gave it to me. He has every book in the series, can you believe that?"

Wave fell back onto the mattress. "Somehow, I do."

Pang glared at Wave. "You're so mean to him."

"He's annoying."

"You don't have to say it to his face, though." Pang put the book down on Wave's nightstand. "He's my friend, you know. Can you be a little nicer?" Wave glanced up at Pang's puppy dog eyes, regretting it immediately after. "For me?"

"How old are you, five?" Pang kept on giving Wave that look. Wave relented, "Fine, whatever. I'll be a little nicer."

"Thanks, babe." Wave's heart thumped. Pang had never called him babe before, but Wave thought he could get used to it.

"Ohm said you were having trouble with trigonometry," Wave remembered. He sat up and looked around for Pang's study materials, only to find that they weren't in the room at all.

Pang shrugged. "I mean, I am, but that was more of an excuse to get you to hang out with me."

"So you don't need help with your homework," Wave deadpanned.

Pang hugged Wave around the waist and looked up at him. "Please don't kick me out! I haven't seen you all day!"

Wave pushed Pang so that he was laying on the bed. "I wouldn't kick you out."

Pang pondered for a moment. "You're right. You always threaten to kick me out but you haven't done it once yet." Pang tugged on Wave's arm, then said, "Lay down with me. You need to relax."

Wave rolled his eyes but lied down anyway. "Says the guy who obsessed over destroying the hierarchy of our school."

Pang mocked offense. "It was oppressive and unfair and you helped me do it so don't act like you weren't a little obsessive too!"

Wave laughed and reached for Pang's hand, wrapping his fingers around his boyfriend's. "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

Pang pouted but didn't respond. The silence between the two hadn't always been as comfortable as it is now. Just being in the other's presence made Wave feel at ease. He never thought that another person could make him so content.

"Hey, Wave?" Pang asked after nearly ten minutes.

Wave looked at Pang. "Yeah?"

Pang looked into Wave's eyes. "Can I... kiss you?"

"...yeah."

Pang sat up a little. Their hands were still gripped tightly as Pang leaned down and pressed his lips onto Wave's. It was quick and innocent, but it was everything that Wave thought it would be. This kiss was so entirely Pang and Wave couldn't get enough.

Pang pulled away and looked at Wave, eyes pleading. "Okay?"

Wave sighed, breath shaking. "Yeah, okay." He hesitated for a second. "Can you kiss me again?"

Pang nodded with a huge grin on his face. "I think I can manage that."
