Olli was playing with Aleksi's hair, gently combing through it with his fingers. Aleksi was sprawled out on the sofa, head resting on Olli's upper legs.
They were watching a movie but Aleksi wasn't really focusing on it anymore, too busy with his thoughts.
“Olli?”
“Hmm..?” Olli hummed looking down at Aleksi who was fiddling with a loose thread on his own sweater.
Aleksi bit his lip, unsure of how to start this conversation without making it weird.
“Have you ever kissed someone?” Aleksi asked before quickly adding: “A-a guy I mean.”
Olli frowned for a second, confused about the sudden question. “Yeah, sure. It's kinda bound to happen sooner or later, especially in this band,” he answered with a slight joke to break the sudden tension of Aleksi.
“Hm, I guess it is…”
Aleksi was quiet again after this, continuing to fiddle with the fabric. Olli wanted to ask why his friend wanted to know this but he felt like Aleksi wasn't going to tell him anyway unless he was the one instigating it. So Olli focused on the movie again, not thinking too much of it.
A while later, Aleksi suddenly sat up, turning to face Olli.
“Would you kiss me?”
“What?” Olli asked, visibly confused but muted the TV.
“W-would you kiss me? I-I don't know what to do… I've never kissed anyone. I… I would love to know how it feels and how to do it but… I don't,” Aleksi said, looking down.
Olli blinked dumbfounded, not sure if he had understood correctly.
“You've never kissed someone? Not once in your life?”
Aleksi shook his head: “No, and if the opportunity came up I wouldn't know what to do…”
Olli frowned again for a second, he didn't know if this was the best idea but then again, what could happen? They were friends. It was fine to kiss your friends, right?
“Okay, just so we're clear, you want me to kiss you, so you know what to do when the moment comes where you want to kiss someone for real?”
Aleksi nodded. “Y-yeah. Something… something like that. B-but if you feel weird about it we don't have to! It was a spontaneous idea if you don't feel comfortable kissing me even if it's…if it's just for this you obviously don't have to!” Aleksi babbled, not wanting to ruin their friendship and especially the comfortable closeness they shared.
“Don't worry,” Olli said, sitting to face his friend, “I don't mind at all.”
Aleksi cracked a relieved little smile. “Oh, good, very good.”
“Well then, let me teach you.”
