it was weird to say, but kendal could tell his lips were untouched prior to this. she had known from him mentioning it to her briefly before, but his lips were soft and plump, cushion-y and so sweet. her heart beat seemed to naturally calm down by being so close, so suddenly intimate with him. they were already close but kendal pressed her body closer, not wanting any space between them. silly as it sounded, kendal swore she felt sparks. she felt something, a connection, a longing, a pull to him. it was strange, she had never felt it before when she was kissing boys. but it was a reminder to her that taeil was not just a boy. she could stay kissing him forever and never once grow tired of it. fluttering her eyes open, she sucked on his bottom lip gently as she pulled away, lips still touching his lightly as she spoke. “it’s a nice feeling knowing i got to be your first kiss,” the brunette smiled against his pink lips.

kendal hummed in response. she hadn’t met him yet and she was doubtful she was going to. what was taeil going to say to him? two practical strangers that met online, became best friends and now were clearly falling for each other? it seemed one hell of a shot and kenny wasn’t exactly sure taeil was willing to take it. it seemed too much of a chore to have to explain and justify all that. kendal didn’t want taeil fighting a uphill battle, especially when her stay at nephelia would be brief. biting her inner cheek, she noticed how tae’s stutter worsened and how he seemed to be barely functioning at her sudden question. she couldn’t blame him exactly, it was a bit bold, wild, especially when they had just met for the first time. yet something inside kendal was driving her, and it definitely wasn’t her logical brain. a hand slipped away from his torso and was softly placed on his cheek, her thumb rubbing the apple of his cheek. “i’d want you to kiss me forever,” the brunette mumbled softly before guiding is face down and bringing hers up, gently crashing her lips against his.

there was no way the young seattleite could move. it was like she was a small prey suddenly so mesmerized, entranced, captivated by him. in a split second, kendal realized she was all his and he was hers. forcing out a shy giggle, kendal blushed. “really? which parent do you get it from?” she had never met the king and queen and the chances of that happening seemed very slim. her sudden bold actions and gestures seemed to die down as seconds ticked by. she was losing the tough facade she was so used to putting up and showing her honest self to taeil, which scared her straight. sh felt his eyes burn on her and gulped a little. why was she so damn nervous around him? she had experience with boys, but she knew well that taeil just wasn’t any boy. finally, she flickered her eyes from his lips to his pupils. “if...if i asked...,” kendal started, her voice breathy as she felt the anxiety bubble from her stomach and rise to her thoroat slowly, “you to...” another soft sigh out, “to kiss me, would you?” she finally sputtered out, fingers playing with his shirt.

so this was one of taeil’s brothers, kendal thought to herself. she had wandered around nephelia, alone this time. she loved spending time with taeil but she wanted to see more of the island by herself. she didn’t expect to bump into a prince - well not another one. “i think that kind of comes with being royalty, i assume.” ken suggested. she wasn’t entirely sure, she was far from being remotely royal. “normality, i mean. kind of like a luxury you can’t afford.” she let the last bit slip out before quickly covering her mouth, eyes wide. she had only heard of his brothers through him, but this was still their kingdom and she wasn’t sure if she said something offensive. “oh! oh my gosh, sorry, y-your...highness?” the long haired brunette said, although the last bit sounded more like a question than anything.

“how did you end up making that?” kendal asked curiously. “i am a little cold..”

[kcndals-blog]

“it is handsome, i never knew pink hair would suit someone so well.”

kendal frowned down at her stomach. did it really have to growl so loudly? when she noticed a person was with her, she grew embarrassed. “just...a little. i’ve been with a friend for quite some time and forgot to eat.” kendal a hand through her hair before her pupils grew wide. “oh really? wow thank you.” the girl smiled as she took the box slowly.

why was his giggle suddenly the sweetest sounding melody that kendal had heard it was like everything he was doing, the most subtle things were getting under her skin and causing the butterflies in her stomach to swell, double in size. she was sick by his cuteness. a soft sigh escaped her rosy lips as she felt his arms tighten around her body. kendal felt safe and secure and it was a feeling she only felt with taeil around. it was a feeling she didn’t want to get used to, not when she knew she had to leave him. “and you’re much taller than i imagined..” kendal said softly, a laugh escaping her mouth. big doe hues tried to make eye contact. her pupils were shaking. she didn’t want to waste any time, she didn’t want to regret anything before she left, but she didn’t want to rush anything on him, force anything he was uncomfortable with. it didn’t take long for her to become stuck in her thoughts, struggling internally on what to do or say. in turn, her eyes simply stuck to his lips and didn’t move.

hi guys!! im sorry for my terrible activity, there has been such bad weather here and my wifi already sucks so it got really bad for a lil, plus there is a lot of things i had to do for school!!

at the soft sensation of taeil nuzzling into her hair, kendal’s eyes fluttered momentarily. he was so soft. so gentle. so perfect. he was everything she imagined and more. there was no way things could get any more perfect than were already. “i missed you more.” a soft giggle escaped her lips, biting her cheek. most of the time kendal felt like she didn’t deserve tae, he was too good for her. yet in that moment, she didn’t care at all. in an instant after hearing his command, kendal wrapped limbs around him tightly, like how a koala held onto a eucalyptus tree. her baby-like face nuzzled into his chest and she sighed in relief. this was so nice.

it happened suddenly but she was down and she made herself more comfortable on taeil’s body instead of crushing a ribcage by accident. her fingers drew faint, soft circles on his back as she hummed quietly. she didn’t expect to be curled up and cuddling taeil so soon, especially finding out about his princely nature, but kendal wasn’t complaining all that much either. “i missed you.” her voice became softer at each word and she sighed, snuggling into him deeper. it was like the contact they were making right now wasn’t enough, she wanted more, needed more. kendal never wanted to leave nephelia, not anymore, not now. a giggle escaped her lips, “oh yeah?” her heart was racing and she prayed taeil couldn’t hear her organ pound faster and faster as seconds flew by. “i wanna cuddle you.”

“it could definitely be worse. aren’t you glad you don’t room with me?” the brunette laughed. maybe that’s why her and taeil clicked so well, so easily. they were nearly opposites. he was usually clutter-free and she was the clutter. he was organized and knew where things were and she was a mess. but the one thing they had in common that seemed to pull both of them each other were their closed and locked doors in their hearts, only letting grains of sands worth of people inside. “just a little..” the girl said as she felt herself being softly tugged over to the source of warmth that was taeil. timezone adjustments were something kendal was still getting used to and the flight from washington to nephelia (including the various stops) had ken worn out. tired hands eased their way out of his gentle grip and her arms wrapped around his waist, hugging him close as her face pressed against his chest, eyes slowly growing closed. ken wanted to stay like this forever. the scent of him brought a sense of calm and relief over the high school student and a little, tiny smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “i’m happy to see you.”

it was probably ten times bigger than kendal’s. she had the attic upstairs, with the ceiling slanted in both directions in the form of a triangle. a small sun roof, and a small window. a tiny bed. a little desk with a chair. it was homey. it was the only homey part of her house. her wide eyes scanned the room and a loving smile was on her face. his room did scream taeil. it was simple but there was a certain je ne sais quoi about it though. kendal’s legs made their way over and she tried her best to peep through and over the window to get a look at the view. she assumed royalty in nephelia had the best view of the entire island, and of course she was proven correct. “it’s not that messy, not as messy as i’d imagine it’d be.” ken laughed playfully. coffee hues turned back to him and she noticed all the paint supplies, the filled and empty canvases and jars of paint. “have you been painting anything new?” she askd curiously, walking closer over to him, before letting out a small yawn. kendal didn’t expect to be as tired as she was.

[kcndals-blog]

“exactly.” kendal didn’t expect things to through this smoothly. granted there was some awkward bumps and nips here and there and it was hard for herself to keep a straight face and stop smiling an idiot so much, but it was nice. it was refreshing. it was reassuring that the boy she talked for so long behind the screen actually existed and within a few seconds, she was stuck to his side. kendal didn’t let the moment and opportunity slip by and snuggled into his side happily. he smelled so good. kendal bit her tongue from laughing at the mere thought. he smelled like escape and the ocean and everything good in the world. and right now, in that moment, he was all hers and she was his. “okay taetae.” kendal replied softly. she made a mental note to definitely change his contact name from ‘taetae’ to ‘prince charming’, it seemed fitting. as the two walked towards the end of the hallway and stopped momentarily before the door, until taeil opened it and ushered kendal inside. “whose room is this?” the girl asked as she took small strides forward, before twirling and facing him again.

“of course you do! i’d be upset if you didn’t.” kendal said as she threw him a playful glare, before giggling. it was easy to laugh and smile around him and forget the pressures of her home and school life. it was easy to forget that kendal kwon was the social butterfly of westlin prep, the schools cheer captain and in various other clubs. it was easy to forget that kendal kwon’s room was just the upstairs attic back home and she didn’t have a family, just a woman after her fathers money and two scorpions in the form of two step-sisters. it was easy with taeil, easy to forget, easy to breathe. “no...no it doesn’t.” it would have been silly if it did, this was taeil. her rock. “it’s gonna take some time to adjust to ... and i’m not sure if i have to use proper titles, but we’re still friends.” the girl said with a smile that held a thousand reassurances his way, nodding.
