It was late at night, and scar couldn’t sleep. He tried everything! He tried the 4-7-8 method, warm milk, even counting sheep! But alas, it all failed. What was a man to do? Bother his best buddy Grian of course!
It was only 23:36 so Scar knew that the avian would be awake still. Scar had knocked on the door, “Grian! You awake? Can you let me in?” After throwing this statement out, he heard shuffling anf the foor opened. “Oh heyy Scar! How- how are we tonight? Sorry sorry, im a teensy bit drunk—come in!” And with that, Scar had happily came inside the house.
“Scar, you should uhm. Let’s go to my bed, yeah? It’s. It’s soft n’ stuff,” Grian had slightly sing-songed. Scar was always endeared on how Grian had always been so sweet, even if he was a bit of a prankster. “If you want to, i’m up for it,” Scar politely replied, “is your goal to cuddle?” “PFFT WHAT? nooo. Never. Thats a lie actually, yes can we please cuddle?” “Of course we can cuddle, songbird, what kind of person would i be to deny that of you?” Grian had paused at that, and slightly flushed. He was obviously embarrassed about it. “Are you ok, gri? You’re kind of.. red?” “OH AM I? It must be the alcohol, i- i’m fine. I swear.” “If you say so.”
The duo had adjusted on Grians bed, with Grian laying on Scar, as the larger held the avian. Grian’s head was on Scars chest, listening to the other’s heartbeat. “This is nice,” the bird mumbled, “I wanna stay like this forever..” Scar had giggled at the smallers comment, choosing to mess with Grians hair rather than reply.
“Hey Scar?”
“Yeah?”
“Can i—can i kiss you?”
Scar paused at that.
“I- did you ask to kiss me? Did i hear that right?”
Grian quickly sat up, pushing himself away from Scar.
“I- i understand if you don’t want to—god way to ruin the moment—uhm. You can. You can leave, if i made you uncomfortable with that.” Scar had nearly cut off the bird, not wanting to have such a miscommunication with Grian, because believe him, he’d *love* to kiss Grian. “No no, the question just, caught me off guard. You can kiss me.”
Grian stared at Scar.
Scar stared back.
And slowly, they leaned into one another, and kissed. Grians heart exploded, full of warmth and delight as they kissed.
They pulled back from one another, “woah,” grian remarked dumbly, “that was. That was nice.” Scar had full on laughed at that, “Lovebird, you are an incredible kisser. I wouldn’t mind doing that again.” Grian had absentmindedly whistled at that, unaware of the noise. Scar just cooed at it.
Grian had then cupped Scars face, kissing his cheeks and forehead. He pulled away once more, grabbing Scars hand and kissing the palm. Scar could only stare wide-eyed as Grian continued to kiss his hand, Scar feeling a bit flustered over it.
“So, does this like, mean we’re like dating or something? Scar, you cant just kiss me and expect me to know what to do next!” Scar merely chuckled and retorted, “well, if you’re fine with getting together with me, then i would love to. I’ve had a huuuuge crush on you for a while, songbird.” Grian froze at that, “wait. What?” Scar just smiled, grabbed Grians hand, and kissed it. Grian had flushed even more, making small chirps
“Yeah, i’d like to become your partner, Scar. Would you?”
“Of course i would, i’d be the happiest man.”
“Ok whatever, let’s just cuddle again. I’m tired.”
“Anything for you dear!”
They laid back down, and slept shortly afterwards.
