Every new year brings new challenges. Sometimes entirely new and out of left field but oftentimes old challenges pop their little heads out like digletts. This is why Gaige was hiding behind a wall outside the cafeteria waiting for this problem to just leave already! This problem has been standing there for over 15 minutes now! With those smoldering eyes of his! Oh no! He hasn't said anything to Gaige yet and he was falling for him! He was good! Gaige can't deal with this! [break] Gaige rested their back against the wall and slowly slid down the wall until their butt reached the floor. Gaige's had an utterly flustered expression and deep blush on their cheeks they have only been creepin-keeping an eye out for the flirty man and hoping he would leave but at this rate Gaige will simply have to starve to death before they could get the lunch special of a stack of waffles. They just wanted some waffles. Not to deal with the biggest flirt at SEA and hopelessly fall in love with him. That's what everybody said about Connor Tempestas. If he even looks your way you will fall hopelessly in love with him. Gaige can't deal with that. They can't fall in love with a man who would find him scary and not that attractive. [break] Gaige hoisted their knees up to their chest and got themselves comfortable as they started to twirl a few thick strands of hair between their fingers. This might be awhile.
[attr=class,acontent] It was a rather typical lunch period. Snag a quick bite for himself and Hyro, chow down, and then shoot the breeze with some classmates. Today was some rather inane discussion between some fellow art majors about nude models in class. Connor found it rather childish the way they were going on. Those people where there to be drawn, not ogled at. He tried to pass off an annoyed sound in his throat as a cough as they kept prattling away. [break][break] Sensing the annoyance his partner was feeling, Hyro stepped in and started tugging at his sleeve. It helped bring him back to reality in that moment and realize he could just leave. Silently cursing himself for the umpteenth time for his past behavior toward the Riolu, he came up with some excuse to take his leave of his classmates. [break][break] Once out of the cafeteria, his mood was still a bit on the sour side, though gradually improving. They’re idiots, come on, just ignore their stupid rantings, nothing to get worked up over. The thought helped to settle him a bit more as he ran a hand through his hair, taking a deep breath before leaning down to scoop up his canine buddy. “Thanks bud, I’ll make sure we get in some extra contest practice this weekend for that save.” He knew he didn’t really need to reward Hyro for it, but he still felt like he had a lot to make up for. [break][break] Connor hadn’t even noticed Gaige in the hallway as he walked out of the cafeteria, but Hyro did. He tried to timidly shift about in the white haired man’s grasp, attempting to get out of potential sight of the other human. Noticing the reaction, he turned to see who was causing the reaction in the red furred canine. Lacking most of his usual playfulness he strode over to the vaguely familiar classmate. He was a second year as well, and Connor was sure he’d heard the kid’s name at some point. [break][break] “Hey, your name’s Gaige isn’t it?”
This was the darkest timeline. [break] Connor 'bringing sexyback' Tempestas walked down their way but due to Gaige being deep in their own headspace twirling their curly hair between their fingers to notice. Connor 'bri-okay that's gonna be too long to repeat, Connor sexily apporached them with their sexy legs down to Gaige's totally unsexy direction and with thier sexily sexy voice asked if they were Gaige. Which they unfortunately are. So Gaige had to play dumb and act cool. [break] "Who's Gaige Long?" NOT THAT DUMB! HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY YOUR LAST NAME. "uh-I mean-Who's asking...?" NOW YOU ARE BEING RUDE! NOT COOL! [break] Gaige really wanted to eat their own foot now since it was pretty much down their gullet already with how much they put their foot in their mouth. "UH WHAT-WHAT-WHAT I REALLY-REALLY MEAN IS THAT UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" Gaige spoke with uncertainty as they clawed their way up from from the ground as they uhh-ed. "-uuuuh You're connor Tempestas? Right? and Yeah I'm Gaige, local psychic of SEA!" Gaige loudly greeted with a deep red blush across their cheeks to the single hottest guy they have ever met in their boring brown paste for a life.
[attr=class,acontent] The smaller student’s vocal fumbling as he managed to get up to his feet was far too entertaining to pass up. On top of that, it seemed he knew about Connor’s reputation as well if the blush on their face was any indication. Oh, I am going to eat him alive. A cocky grin stretched wide on his face as Gaige mentioned being the school’s local psychic. He was just making it too damn easy now. [break][break] Hyro thankfully had relaxed, sensing the swirling unease in Gaige’s aura and feeling far less timid because of it. He hopped down from his partner’s grasp, opting to stand next to the two instead. Why he always got a kick out of making others a turmoil of emotion was a mystery to the Riolu. [break][break] Leaning in a bit, Connor propped himself against the wall with his forearm, looming over the poor sod as he kept giving him that utterly predatory grin. “A psychic eh? Then tell me,” he leaned in closer, easily having slipped right back into his usual suave and cocky persona, voice kept a bit lower in tone since that always seemed to be the best way to get a reaction out of these flustered classmates, “what is it I’m thinking about right now~?”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [break] Gaige silently screamed as they covered their mouth so they wouldn't let out a horrible screech from being Kabedonned to the wall by Connor's firm and strong arm. Gaige looked up to Connor's red eyes even though he was leaning forward he was still a lot taller compared to them. O-oh Arceus. This was way too much to deal with. Gaige needs an out of this mess right now! But Gaige's legs were jelly, their gut had butterfrees, their head was light and fluffy, their heart pumping too fast for comfort. They were crushing hard and Connor only said a few sentences to them [break] Gaige's with their mouth still covered listened to Connor's silky smooth words which caused a spark to shoot up their spine. Gaige was too preoccupation with... their whole thing to correct Connor's assumption on their type of Psychic powers. But Gaige blushing face intensified as they tried to keep their mouth covered but they couldn't hold back anymore. They had no idea what Connor was thinking but Gaige knew what they wanted him to think. So Gaige uncovered their mouth and whispered. [break] "You want to eat me alive." WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?!
[attr=class,acontent] Hook, line, and sinker. He had this poor kid on the ropes, and it was so horribly obvious Connor couldn’t help but want to provoke him further. The taller male wanted to know just how far he could push before Gaige snapped, and he wanted to see how he reacted when he did. Would he be the type to just run away crying? Or would he throw a punch? He was dying to know the answer. [break][break] Hyro on the other hand, thought they were both acting silly. So he moved to sit down and lean against the wall to wait for their shenanigans to be over. At least when Connor was focused on messing with someone he wasn’t having a depressive fit, so there was a silver lining. [break][break] The fact Gaige had covered his mouth as he leaned in had Connor so utterly amused it was almost silly, like something out of some cheesy romance show. There was no romance involved in this though, just playful mischief from an ornery sophomore. Gaige’s blush only got darker before he finally answered the teasing query he had shot off. Their whisper was adorable, but it was the answer that made Connor pause. His grin faltered for a moment as he moved slightly away, honestly surprised and at an utter loss for a moment. [break][break] A rather hearty laugh rumbled up from his chest then, his grin returning in force as he closed in on Gaige once again. Now he really wanted to make this kid squirm. “Well, color me surprised~. Practically word for word,” voice hushed a touch more than before, he moved a hand up as he spoke, catching hold of their chin. Fingers curled to tilt his face up slightly as his thumb every so lightly traced over their bottom lip. Teasingly licking his own lip, Connor leaned in a bit closer, putting their faces just inches apart as he kept steady eye contact.
was the only words that escaped Gaige's lips when Connor spoke up saying they were almost right, word by word. But Gaige messed up his wording, he meant to say ou-y'know what let's not go there despite Connor seemingly wanting to go there if what he said was to be taken to be true, which with his smile faltering for a moment might very well be. Gaige timidly looked away when Connor laughed a hearty laugh. It shook Gaige to their core. This was too much. Too much for them to deal with right now.
But as soon as Gaige tried to look away their head was tilted back to look back to Connor's red eyes with his thumb lightly tracing over their bottom lip Gaige couldn't help but quiver from the touch. THIS IS TOO MUCH! Connor inched his face closer to their. THIS IS TOO MUCH!!! Keeping constant eye contact between the two of them. THIS IS TOO FUCKING MUCH!!!!!
Gaige closes their eyes.
And they simply stood there, they aren't going full psycho. They wanted this. Gaige wanted this for so long. To be seen as attractive, to be seen as worthy of kissing, to be loved by somebody not related to them. If this was just a cruel joke on Connor's part. So be it. Gaige can pretend that this kiss mean something real and not just a joke. Gaige is used to pretending.
[attr=class,acontent] Alright, who gave the psychic permission to be this damn cute? [break][break] Connor paused another moment, somewhat surprised he hadn’t caused the poor, skittish sod to react in a different manner. Closing their eyes and just standing there seemingly waiting for it? Yeah, that was not what he expected at all. At least, that’s not what he expected from his current behavior. He fully expected that kind of thing when he was being more subtle, but not when he was just “going in for the kill”. [break][break] He wondered if this year would bring any more surprises like this his way as he closed the gap between them. Lips brushing lightly against Gaige’s, the kiss was short and admittedly rather innocent. The smaller student wasn’t likely to make any kind of entertaining outburst at this rate, so he was cutting him some slack. For now. He was definitely going to be fun to mess with in the future if his initial reactions were anything to go by.
Rather a moment of weakness or a lapse in judgement, Gaige let themselves be kissed. And they were on Cloud nine.
Gaige waited painfully in anticipation for the payoff. And it was well worth it. Gaige had expected something rougher, more feral. Wilder. But instead it was rather chaste, innocent, gentle. First it was a feather light brush between lips which caused Gaige to shiver with a strange sensation, joy? What ever it was it flushed their system of any fear and nervousness they felt a rare calm in this moment between the two of them. It was free, liberating. Wonderful.
Gaige's heart was still beating like mad, and their stomach was filled to the brim with butterfrees. Gaige felt like they could die happy in that moment. But Gaige learned in that moment-they are greedy for kisses. So Gaige lifted both hands and gently as possible brought them to Connor's shoulders and slowly stood up on their tippy toes to deepen the kiss between them ever so slightly. It was still chaste but Gaige was in control now. Just for a moment.
