Chapter Text
Ricky was never one for talking, after all, he lost that ability when he was five. And most of the time he communicated in sign, so there was no need for it.
The simple hand movement back was enough for him. He's never met someone as talkative as Mischa. He understands the most sign out of the whole choir, right next to Ocean and Noel.
One day, when Ricky was laying on their bed, looking up at the star stickers that they had put on their ceiling a few years ago, just then his mother creaks open the
"you have a visitor"she signs with a bit of a smile on her face.
Ricky gives her the ok to let whoever it is in their room to his surprise, it was just the person he was thinking about.
'Ricky, I couldn’t get the thought of you out of my head! something just told me I needed to see you'
the taller boy said, and excitement as he plopped down next to Ricky on the bed Ricky blushed a touch at the comment.
"Did you need something?"he signed after all none of his fellow choirmates have been this excited to be at his house the only thing that can top Mischa's happy talkative self is Penny.
She was a little more quiet, but she was equally as excited.
no matter how much Ricky wanted to be in their thoughts, Mischa began to speak once more.
"I think I have a crush on...Noel?"
He said it was a bit of confusion as if he didn’t even know
Ricky’s face went completely blank.
It was pretty obvious, but she never thought she’d be the first to hear about it. it kind of felt like an honor to him.
"Why are you telling me?" He asked as he fidgeted with the bracelet on his wrist.
"Because I was wondering if... we could maybe practice some stuff"
Ricky’s eyes widened mischa was actually asking him for advice or something along those lines, at least
"I can help you, what do you need to know? You seemed to be a pretty big professional with talia and all"
they signed with a chuckle mischa’s eyes looked away from Ricky in a moment of embarrassment
"well, I’ve never been that good of a kisser... that’s kind of what I came to you for of course if you want to do it is what I mean completely platonic!"
Mischa was as red as a strawberry. Ricky, gave a puzzled look before nodding and beginning to sign
"I have the time..”
She signed as she looked at his face Mischa had turned away from him slightly trying to cover his clear embarrassment
“really! I mean…cool cool..”
Mischa was obviously trying to hide his excitement he has been wanting to do this with Ricky for ages he just never had a decent reason
Ricky smiled at this and began to sign.
“Well, it shouldn’t be too hard I mean if it’s platonic”
They signed with a smug smile, putting emphasis on the last word.
But nonetheless Ricky pulled their laptop closer to them, and began typing up kissing techniques knowing they had a lot to explain to their parents if they saw this.
Mischa was ecstatic. He couldn’t show the big smile he wanted to have on his face, because if he did Ricky would know how he feels about them he couldn’t have that.
So he smiles with his eyes as he watches Ricky type, not missing a single key, which was surprising to him.
Ricky rested her chin on her left hand as he scrolled through the various answers he was responded with after typing in the question
“Have you tried tongue kissing before?”
Ricky signed to Mischa kind of hoping he said no she didn’t know why, but she had a connection with Mischa they just couldn’t figure why that is.
“Um..”
Mischa pondered on the question His face being a light pink
“No..?”
He finally said, now that he thought about it, this would technically be his first REAL kiss if he didn’t count spin the bottle.
“I guess we could try that first then”
Ricky signed back, clicking the blue text on her laptop and reading into it a little more, before finally looking up at Mischa.
“Ready?”
Ricky signed.
“Ready..”
Mischa replied.
Their lips gently collided with each other, and Ricky closed their eyes when it happened, while on the other hand, Mischa's stayed open the whole time, not exactly ruining the moment, but making it a little uncomfortable for himself.
As their lips came together, Ricky put his hand on Mischa's shoulder, which was like telling him to not stop, essentially making Mischa close his eyes in the moment, just as much as Ricky was.
The kiss began to last longer and both boys couldn't keep their mouths apart. before finally pulling away.
Micha’s face flushed with red as he looked at Ricky, who looked kind of indifferent about the whole thing.
As Micha noticed Ricky‘s face, his own became embarrassed
“I um… have to go see you at school tomorrow”
The taller boy said getting up from the bed and racing out of the house as quick as he can feeling embarrassed and aggravated.
All Ricky could do was sit there they were disappointed was the kiss not good? did he not do something right? She had too many questions. and none of them could be answered now that Micha was gone.
Ricky side and fell on their bed as they continued to think about everything that just happened
