Out of all the days that Tenna could pick to have his first kiss with Spamton, he just had to pick today, he thought to himself. It was going to happen eventually, but Tenna cursed himself for not preparing more time. He decided to pick his next date with Spamton, which he was currently in the middle of. Spamton was making post-dinner conversation, but Tenna wasn’t really “there”, instead worried more about the very end of the date. Tenna held Spamton’s hand as they exited the restaurant, only letting go for the journey back to Tenna’s apartment. Only when Spamton parked and led Tenna to the front of his complex did he seem to notice Tenna’s disengagement.
“You haven’t said a word in ages,” Spamton commented. “Are you still into me?” If Tenna had eyes, they would widen.
“Of course! It’s just…” since Spamton seemed to be unsure, Tenna decided to take the direct approach, “I’ve been thinking about kissing you all night.”
“... that explains that. Well, if you want to kiss me so badly, let’s do it.”
Stooping down, Tenna prepared for the gesture of a forehead to forehead touch. He cupped Spamton’s face with all the love in his heart and leaned in…
and then their noses touched.
“Right,” Tenna realized. Both Darkners laughed awkwardly. Tenna tilted his head carefully in the opposite direction that Spamton did, leaned in again, and finally kissed Spamton.
Their kiss didn’t last long, but it was everything Tenna could have hoped for. Spamton’s lips were soft—did he use lip balm?—and the perfect complement to Tenna’s. Tenna could feel Spamton smile against him at the end of the kiss and Spamton’s reluctance to pull away by how he took hold of Tenna’s tie and didn’t let go.
“I really liked that,” Spamton confessed.
“So did I.” Tenna was then pulled down further by his tie. Spamton kissed him on the cheek, and Tenna turned bright pink. “I, um, I do have to go, but see you next time?”
“Absolutely.”
Tenna watched Spamton walk away, almost in a dreamlike trance. He was more sure than ever that he was really, truly in love with Spamton, and he hoped that things for them would only go up from here.
