asher and babe’s first kiss, written by me, in full detail (jk it’s a draft) based off of the song “kiss her you fool” by Kids That Fly. they/them pronouns are used for babe :)
on the third date they went ice skating. not the best idea. sure, asher was the one to ask them to go skating with him, but he started rethinking that decision when he realized he had no idea how to skate whatsoever. it was nice when babe grabbed his hand to steady him, which only led to them going down with him the next time his skate caught on a small crack in the ice. shit, this was not supposed to be going so horribly.
babe steadies themself and extends a hand for him to take again. “are you ok??”
he almost laughs at how concerned they seem because hello?? he literally just knocked them over and they’re asking if he’s ok?
“yeah, i’m fine! uhahf- are you ok? i mean it’s basically my fault that we fell- god!”
“don’t worry ash, it’s all good,” they smile, and asher thinks he might have died right then and there, “oh, hey! you might want to re-tie your skates, we’ve been on the ice for a while so they might be kinda lose by now.”
he agrees, and tells them that he’s going to the bathroom before they can help him with his skates. he whips out his phone to text milo as soon as the gets in a stall.
milo: wait aren’t you supposed to be on a date right now??
milo: did you ditch them?? oh my god asher
ash: no!! i’m in the bathroom. and im at the skating rink and things are not going well. like at all
ash: i keep messing things up AHHH
ash: AND I REALLY WANT TO KISS THEM SHAKDJSJ BUT HOWWW
milo: ohh that’s what you’re so worried aboutt
milo: just kiss em you foollllll
ash: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WHEN I FALL OVER EVERY TWO SECONDS??
milo: when the moment happens it’ll happen, just be patient doofus
milo: NOW GET BACK TO UR DATE YOU GOT THIS KING
he thought it was the right moment when babe was holding both of his hands and skating backwards while looking up at him ever so sweetly. he really wanted to kiss them there. but then they squealed (adorably, if he may add) and turned around, because one of their favorite songs was on. damn it. either he was failing miserably or babe was extremely oblivious to any hints he was dropping.
