Falling Spectacularly - a pangwave fanfic

5

Wave and Pang started eating lunch together on the rooftop every Thursday. Pang was still hesitant about making their relationship known to the rest of their classmates, so he made sure to get into the line for lunch a while after Wave did. Wave didn't mind. Actually, he preferred not having to be questioned by the rest of the Gifted students.

This particular Thursday was warm and a bit breezy. The perfect weather to be eating outside with your boyfriend.

Since they started dating about two months prior, Wave has had an itch in the back of his mind. A feeling that he needed to talk to Pang about something really important. He didn't bother bringing it up until now because it was more of an in the future topic, but he knew they had to talk about it eventually.

"...hey," Wave said as Pang plopped down next to him. They each had a tray of pork fried rice. "I have to ask you something. It might be awkward."

Pang glanced at Wave. He swallowed a bite of the food then said, "What is it?"

Wave looked at his tray and mumbled, "So I know we haven't been dating very long, but I was wondering..." Wave's cheeks changed to a rosy pink. "What are we gonna do about... you know..." Wave glanced at Pang. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open wide enough to catch a fly. "Sex."

"Um." Pang's cheeks were turning a similar shade to Wave's "I don't know. I mean, I've thought about it, sure, but I wasn't sure what you would... want?"

Wave rolled his eyes. "Of course, you've thought about it, you pervert."

Pang sputtered, "What? You brought it up! That means you've thought about it too! Who's the pervert now, huh?"

"Ugh, okay, we're both perverts. Are you happy?"

Pang smiled. "Yeah, okay. So... what do you want to do about... yeah."

Wave shrugged. "I mean, we haven't done anything except for cuddle and, like, kiss. So do we work up to it? Or do we just... go in head first?"

Pang flushed. "Is that a pun?" Wave's eyes got wide. "Okay, I don't think you meant it like that. I think we should work up to it. I don't really know how to do this so..."

"Should we... research?" Wave suggested.

"Like... watch gay porn? Is that a good idea?"

Wave swallowed a bite of food. "Probably not, but what if something bad happens, you know?" Wave grimaced. "What if it hurts? We should do this right, you know?"

"I agree, but maybe we should hold off on the porn part for a bit? Maybe just start with..." Pang looked at his hands. "Whatever feels good?"

"Yeah, okay, that sounds okay."

There was an awkward silence between them. They kept eating and glancing at each other. It wasn't until they made eye contact that Pang started to laugh. "Why are we so awkward?" Wave couldn't help but laugh alongside him.
