Aquaria X Miz Cracker - A New Kind of Love

Chapter 5 - Is This What Heaven Feels Like?

Aquaria's POV:
When I open my eyes, I'm staring straight into someone's shoulder. They smell like hairspray, mint and just that faint smell of boy that makes you melt. I snuggle into the cosy shoulder more. The shoulder shifts suddenly, and I match it to a person: Miz Cracker. Oh my god. Suddenly the events of last night come flooding back.

"Morning babe," Cracker murmurs as he slowly opens his eyes. He looks so goddam cute. "We kissed!" I whispered. "M-multiple times!?"

Cracker stares at me for a second before bursting into laughter. "We did!" Joy filled my heart, so it wasn't just some beautiful dream. Grinning, I lent forward and kissed him again, feeling his soft lips dance with mine. I slid my tongue in gently. Is this what heaven feels like?

Heaven is short and sweet, as Cracker's phone bursts into song, making us jump. He stands up to get it, and I'm in awe at his toned body, especially that tight ass. Damn.

"Hello?" Cracker says, as I stretch back on the bed, inhaling our scents. His eyes widen. "Oh my god...we'll be right there!"

Panic fills me. "What?"

"We overslept!" He cries, pulling on a pair of joggers and a black shirt. "The bus is leaving for Seattle in 10 minutes!"

I jump up and sprint back to my room, shirtless and in my briefs. This is not how I thought this day was going to go. Frantically, I shove my scattered belongings into my suitcase and pull on some clothes. I exit my room the same time Cracker does. He smiles, grabs my hand and together we sprint down the corridor to the lobby.

After a painfully slow checkout, the tour bus comes in sight and we're red, sweaty and nowhere near as cute as we were this morning. The bus driver sighs with relief at us. "Finally! Thank Jesus."

I turn to our drag sisters, but all their eyes are focussed on our hands. Shit.

The bus erupts into cheers. "That's where they were!" Laughed Asia. Great. Now they think we had sex. Laughing, I turn to Cracker. He grins and throws his arms around my neck.

Cracker's POV:
The journey to Seattle is calm and enjoyable. We're all sat in the living area, squashed in together, playing truth or dare like little boys, talking and laughing. Aquaria hasn't let go of my hand all day, and it makes my body feel all nice and warm.

The bottle lands on Naomi. "Vanjie, truth or dare?" Now that was a bold move. Vanjie has been suspiciously quiet and it wasn't news to any of us why. Apart from Asia and Kameron, who were oblivious of cause. Vanjie paused for a minute. "Dare."

"I dare you to kiss the girl you like the most." Remarked Naomi. Oh shit. That girl has some guts. I turn to Aquaria and we exchange a wide eyed look. Vanjie chews his lip for a couple of seconds. He then stands up, and walks towards Kameron. Before we know it, his lips are on Kameron's and his hands are on his face. Oh shittttt.

Asia has a face like thunder. "What the fuck, Vanj?" Kameron sits there, baffled and staring straight ahead while Asia stands up and glares directly at Vanjie.

"Asia, it's fine don't worry about it," said Aquaria quickly. "It's just a game."

"Are you fucking dumb? It means more than that." Remarked Asia. Anger flows through me.

"Don't you dare speak to him like that!" I yell, standing up abruptly, not letting go of Aquaria's hand. What the fuck? This is my season 10 sister I'm fighting with, me and Asia have never butted heads in our life.

Shaking, Kameron stands up. "Asia...it's fine it's just a kiss."

Vanjie shakes his head. "No, Kameron, it's not just a kiss. It means more. I like you, fuck it, I love you, and I have since season 10." Everyone freezes, like we've been dipped in ice. This is crazy! Aquaria squeezes my hand and I send a squeeze back.

Kameron stares at Vanjie, lost for words. Asia keeps trying to speak, but he's unable to force words out. The rest of our sisters are dotted round the room, mouths agape.

"Vanjie...I...I don't know what to say. I...I like you too." My eyes widen. Asia turns to Kameron, a look so full of emotion I can't even begin to describe on her face. "But...it's too late. I like Asia now-"

But Asia's had enough, and he sprints to the back of the bus. Kameron springs after him. "Asia...wait!"

Aquaria gets up to follow but i place my hand on his leg. "They need some alone time."

Aquaria exhales. "That was tough".

"I know," I say, "I can't believe Asia spoke to you like that though..."

Aquaria's POV.
The show in Seattle is rocky and unstable, with Asia not talking to Kameron and Vanjie not talking to Asia. We manage to pull through and get a standing ovation, but the feeling of joy from the first night has gone. I'm lucky I've got Cracker though.

His head is between my thighs and I'm stroking his soft hair as we watch tv together. God, I love him.

He turns around and gets on top of me and I can feel our hearts beating together. He leans in for a kiss and our lips touch almost automatically. My hand moves down to his crotch as we roll over and now I'm on top. I stare deeply into his eyes. Is this going to happen...now?
