Jack felt a shiver go down his spine as he stepped onto the front porch of the old, rundown house. He was starting to second guess himself, I mean, was he really going to go to some fortune teller or witch to help him with his problem? But, he had already come this far, so he may as well go along with his decision for now. That was about the time when he took the bear shaped door knocker in his hand and knocked it onto the hard wood, just waiting for the witch to appear, or not. Maybe he could just pretend he had never come if she didn't... Ah, but that would have saved him from a lot of embarrassment, therefore, with Jack's 'luck' he noticed the woman peek out her long nose and eyes out from between the curtains of the window not to far away from the front door. The woman eventually opened the door with a sly, all knowing smile. "I knew you would come..." She said ominously. Oh great cleshés already, this woman must have been a joke. "Come, I have something for you." She continued as she led him through the hallway to a winding staircase covered in dusty cobwebs. He followed her up the creaking steps, but still wasn't sure if that was a good decision on his part. She eventually reached the top of the stairs, immediately taking a sharp turn left, leading Jack into a dimly lit room, instructing him to lie down on a couch. "So do you want me to tell you my troubles, or...?" Jack's voice trailed off. "Oh no, I know why you have come..." The witch started. "You have never been kissed, despite your many tries, no body ever does, they think you're arrogant so nobody likes to hang around you for very long." She continued, leaving Jack stumped. She was exactly right. He was 17, nearing the end of his HighSchool life and despite all his attempts, nobody he ever took out would ever kiss him, instead many of his dates just closed the door on his face as he proceeded to lean into them for a kiss. Though he wasn't too sure about the arrogant part. "Fear not, boy, for I have something for you...but first, payment." She said as she gestured to him to give her the charge for her services as he reached into his pocket for his wallet, before pulling out the money necessary for the 'miracle worker' to 'work her magic'. She took the money and put it inside a small box on her desk before looking for something in the desk's drawers. She finally found what she was looking for with a confirmation of 'Ahah!' before turning around and giving the boy a silver coloured tube. He opened the tube to realise what was inside it, as he had seen these on his mother's vanity before they went out somewhere special. This witch was trying to give him lipstick! "This is bogus, I'm not wearing lipstick!" He cried out. "If you want a kiss, then you will! This is not just any lipstick, because if you put this on everybody in the near vicinity will feel compelled to kiss you. And they will." she explained. He thought in it for a few seconds before finally deciding to just take it. ————————————————————————————— It had been a few weeks since Jack had gone to the miracle worker and she gave him the lipstick. Since then he hadn't actually used the lipstick, but he finally decided to do that today. He was currently standing on the porch of the Haddock household where two of his classmates lived. Their names were Raina and Hayden, Raina was currently 18 and was one of the most popular and nicest girls in his year level, meanwhile her younger brother, Hayden, was 16 but one of the smartest kids in the school, making him take many classes for Raina and Jack's year level and become pretty good friends with Jack after finding out the two had a mutual interest in being smart arses to people. Jack took the lipstick out of his pocket and fumbled with it for a moment, for he had a plan. Said plan was to ring Raina's doorbell for her to open it, meaning, that if the lipstick worked, she would instantly be 'compelled to kiss him', but on the other hand, if it didn't work, he could just ask for Hayden's help on some schoolwork... Yeah that sounded believable. Jack eventually opened the tube of lipstick and smeared it on his lips before putting it away in his pocket again and bringing his hand back up to knock on the door. He waited a few moments as he heard somebody's music was turned off and most likely that same person walking towards the front door to see who was on the other side. unfortunately for Jack, it wasn't Raina who opened the door. In Raina's stead was her aforementioned brother, Hayden, a gangly boy with auburn hair, freckles and deep green eyes that locked on Jack's for a moment before darkening as the boy's entire being was taken over by a strange feeling... He didn't really know what it was but... He really felt like kissing the other boy in front of him, and he did. Jack's own eyes widened as the younger boys' small hands grabbed on to the collar of his hoodie, before pulling the taller boy towards him and smashing their lips in an open mouthed kiss due to Jack's mouth falling open in his surprise. Hayden kept Jack in place by wrapping his arms around Jack's neck, bringing him down to Hayden's height. Jack was extremely confused at this point. This wasn't supposed to happen! What does he do now? Does he just wait till the other stops kissing him, pull him off and end it now, or should he reciprocate it? I mean even though it's not the most conventional first kiss, it still was a first kiss... Looks like Jack's body had decided for him as he found his hands placing themselves on the other boy's thin waist, pulling him even more closer than Hayden had made them originally which rewarded Jack with a small moan from Hayden. "Hey Hay! Who was at...the... Door...?" Raina walked through the hallway to find her brother and their white haired classmate making out on her front porch. At the girl's words the two boys split apart, staring at each other in bewilderment as they realised what they had just done. And there was no way they could deny it to themselves or Raina as they stood there with swollen lips, stolen breath and very noticeable blushes from the force of the deep kiss. "Uh... I'll come back later" Raina said hesitantly as she walked away, eyes never leaving the two boys on the porch. "So...that was....something..." Hayden said as his voice started to trail off. "Would you hate me if I asked you if we could do it again?" Jack asked him with a shy smile, blush still evident. "Would you hate me if I said yes?" Was Hayden's response as he brought his hands up around Jack's neck again. "No, actually, I think I'd like you more..." Jack said as he pulled Hayden back into his embrace, enforcing his thoughts with a kiss.
