All right, Tommy said to himself as they rounded the corner, leaving the Ice Cream Parlor behind them. Operation Kiss Angel has begun. Even just the thought of it made Tommy squeeze Angel's hand. But the whole getting there would be the issue. He couldn't just go off and kiss him. Couldn't he? He wondered if maybe he would seem too forward if he kissed Angel. It was only their first date anyway. And it was a psuedo-date. Tommy shook his head, he would do it. He had to.
"So...tell me about yourself. I did so much blabbing about myself, I still feel like you know more about me than I know about you," Tommy said gently.

"Well...what do you wanna know?" Angel asked as they walked. He had to smile as Tommy squeezed his hand, and gently squeezed back. Was Tommy nervous? It was hard to tell...Angel was, a little. Though it was slowly being replaced with more excitement than anything else.

"Uh...anything you wanna talk about I guess. What classes do you have?" Tommy asked as it seemed to be a safe topic usually. Not exactly a romantic question though. "Ummm...favorite flower. Just for further reference," He said with a hesitant wink as he knew that with the dance, he'd have to give Angel a flower thing.
Tommy hoped that his palms weren't too sweaty. He had calmed down since they were out in the open now. But he was still slightly nervous about the whole thing, and Angel seemed to be cool as a cucumber. He wished he was that strong.

"Science, math, gym and still life...fun stuff," Angel laughed softly. He was nervous...his palms were sweating, he was stumbling all over his words again...but why? They were just walking...in fact, Angel was feeling pretty relaxed. He rubbed Tommy's arm gently. "It's okay, you know...I;m not gonna eat you alive," he promised. "I don't know...lilys are nice," he shrugged.

"Sounds like it. Junior Science? That was the killer for me. I was always so close to blowing up the place. I'm pretty sure that I only passed because they didn't want me to go back and try again til I succeded," Tommy explained with a nervous giggle.
He paused at Angel's words and sighed. "Is it that obvious? I know you're not gonna eat me..." Tommy made a mental note for a lily and then stopped walking. He tossed his ice cream cone out as it was the last thing on his mind at the moment. "Can I uh...ask you something?"

Angel snorted. "Why is that not surprising?" he asked with a laugh. "Yeah...I don't know how well I'm doing with the class. Probably not great, but I;m not too worried," he shrugged. It wasn't like he was planning on going into space in the near future. He knew the basics.
"Anything," Angel nodded. Hopefully, once the question was out, Tommy would relax a little.

Tommy let out a laugh and shook his head. "I can't help it. They tell me not to mix them all and don't give a good enough reason. So I want to know why. If they just told me why then I wouldn't have played so much...maybe," Tommy added.
Take a big breath, He told himself. "I'm sorry that I'm all nervous and all...but I was planning on somehow causing some romantic kiss with the sun going down and the birds singing. It's a whole lot to live up to. So I was just wondering if you would...you would kiss me? If not just say so, I won't be hurt."

Angel stopped, and looked at Tommy. Had he heard right? Kiss...he was going to...he swallowed deeply, trying to focus. To think straight. Tommy wanted to kiss him.
He had pretty much no experience at all. He'd never been on a date, never kissed, never nothing. Here Tommy was, asking a simple question...a simple question that had so much meaning behind it. Would he kiss back. That was a no brainer...of course he would. But...would he be...it was such a stupid thing to worry about. But what if he wasn't good at it? Even if they did..he had no idea how to move, where to put his hands, how long to hold on. What if he did too many things wrong?
"You want to kiss me?" he asked quietly, and began to give himself a good mental beating at how dumb he sounded. He bit down on the inside of his lip gently. If he never tried, though, he'd never know...but he didn't want to mess up. Not with Tommy. But in any romance he'd ever seen (and he'd seen more than he'd admit), the lovers only got together when they threw their inhibitions away...only then were they finally able to be together.
Timidly, he leaned up gently. His heart was racing a mile a minute...but it was the good kind of heart racing. He swallowed, and gently brushed his lips against Tommy's. To someone more experienced, it would hardly be anything. But even that small a touch almost made the junior's knees give out.
He drew back a little too quickly, not wanting to hold on too long. "Is that a good enough answer...?" he asked shyly, the heat rising up on his face as it sunk in what he'd done.

Tommy kicked himself internally. He felt like a compleate idiot. "Would you kiss me?" Who said that? No one did, cept himself when he was being very very very stupid. He was about to utter a long apology when Angel reiterated the question. Then he cleared his throat and then opened his mouth to speak. But nothing really came out. Instead, he nodded. Was it a crime? It seemed like it...a kiss and they weren't even done with thier first semi-state. Did this make him a man-slut or something.
Just as Tommy was about to utter another apology, Angel leaned up and kissed him. Well...he wasn't expecting that. At least, not that fast. The single moment that they kissed seemed to last for eternity at least he wanted it to. Just a simple contact...but it was more than that. Tommy shivered slightly as he reopened his eyes to watch Angel to take a step back.
"Yeah..." Tommy said smiling deeply. "That was a very good answer....thanks." He decided to ignore his conscience which was saying 'Wanna do it again?'

"Good..." Angel said quietly, not even bothering to hide the smile on his face. His first kiss. He had no idea whether it was Tommy's, but he could only hope it was just as special. How could it not be? He'd been so nervous...you didn't get so nervous for 'just a kiss'. You got nervous for something special...or at least Angel hoped so.
"Oh...did you still want to do the whole romantic kiss thing...? I mean...even if the birds aren't singing or the sun doesn't set at just the right moment...it doesn't really matter..." Angel suggested quietly as it occured to him, giving Tommy's hand a little squeeze.

Tommy grinned deeply, how couldn't he? It had been his first kiss, and it wasn't with someone that he just "liked." It was Angel who he was really starting to...care for. "That was nice," He said simply looking down at thier hands which were still joined.
A small and gentle laugh erupted from Tommy's mouth. "I would be up for that for sure. Did you at least wanna wait for the sunset...or you don't mind much?" Tommy asked. Just then he realized that he was about twenty times more calm now. Now that he knew what it was like to kiss him, Tommy was content. Although, he did wonder if he would taste the same every time.

"Yeah...it was," Angel agreed quietly, his cheeks pinkening a bit as he looked down bashfully. He was still in disbelief that they'd kissed, and in even more disbelief that he'd initiated it...but Tommy apparently wasn't objecting, and that was fine by him.
"We can wait for suset if you want to..." Angel trailed off. But sunset's so long off...how am I gonna wait till then? he thought to himself, the smile on his face growing.

Carefully, Tommy reached out and brushed his thumb along Angel's blushing cheek. A part of him worried that Angel would pull away and be disgusted. But more of him was too calm and excited to worry about such an idea. "Well...we can wait if you like. But we don't have to." he slowly dropped is hand to Angel's shoulder.
"You granted my request...so I'll grant yours," Tommy said quietly ready for anything.

Angel sighed softly as Tommy brushed his cheek, and was tempted to move a bit closer. It was as if Tommy could read his mind; knew exactly what Angel wanted and did his best to comply. He'd always imagined his first kiss to either be with a woman after he'd caved, or with someone who didn't rteally care about him. But this...this was nothing at all like he'd expected.
"Well...to be honest, all I really want to do at the moment...is stay with you," he finished quietly, barely meeting Tommy's eyes.

Tommy smiled gently and leaned his head down trying to match Angel's eyes. But that proved to be rather difficult due to their height difference. So he made it simpler. He gently took hold of Angel's chin and raised his carefully. "Me, too. Well...stay with you. Staying with me isn't much fun...but I like being here," Tommy whispered his hand moving to cup his face.
"Would you mind if I kissed you this time?" Tommy asked leaning it but refusing to go any further until he got Angel's consent.
