I pause again for a moment, though not for nearly as long as I did a few minutes ago because this time I don’t really think as much. If I gave it much thought, I’m pretty sure my reaction wouldn’t be to lean forward and kiss her back. You never know though.

Shell's eyes open a little bit out of shock but it fades away rather quickly. Without realizing it, her right hand was resting his cheek while the left was on his side kissing him back softly.

It's really very awkward, leaning over to kiss her like this, and it's that more than anything that makes me pull away after moment, coughing very slightly and sitting back like I was except that I won't look directly at her.
I think I'm waiting for the rush of guilt, or 'this is a really bad idea,' or something. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced with anything like this, but so far that's always been the case. So I don't know why it should be any different now.

Shell sighs, looking down at her hands. "What's wrong... not what you expected?" she asks in a slightly hurt tone before looking up at him for a second.

"Technically, yes, but only in that I don't regret it," I shrug with a tiny half-nod, frowning slightly. "Sorry," I add after a moment, shaking my head.

Shell stares at him confused just looking down at her hands. "You're just confusing me. You kiss me on the lips after I just kiss your cheek, then you pull away and confuse me even more about what you're saying." she says softly.

"Hence the apology," I mutter, sighing at myself and shaking my head, fully aware that I'm being exasperating but not sure what to do about it. Maybe, in a weird subconscious way i'm not aware of, this is a test to see whether she can actually put up with me. That, or I'm just a prick by nature and have difficulty changing so quickly.

"It's fine, I suppose. Do you want to try again to see if it's still werid or not?" she suggests with a shrug before looking at her hands once more. "I'll understand if you pull away again." she adds quickly after her suggestion.

I laugh very slightly, having no particular objection but, again, wondering why the hell not.
"If you honestly don't want to just hit me or something by now..." I shrug and shake my head, meaning something like 'sure, why not,' but feeling it would be rather tacky to say that.

Shell laughs slightly before looking up at him. "Of course not. Have I honestly ever really hit you unless you deserved it?" she asks with a raised eyebrow before keeping her smile on her face.

"I'm not even sure if you've ever hit me when I did deserve it... which would probably be often." I shrug again slightly, raising my eyebrows.

"I can think of a couple times when you did." she says with a nod before biting her lip again. "So are you going to kiss me again or are we going to debate about when you deserved to be hit?"

I shrug again, trying not to smile but laughing slightly anyway. "Whichever you'd prefer."

"I should hit you now for that stupid question." she says with a grin of her own before scooting closer and kissing him this time instead.

I half laugh again in return, but then she's started kissing me and funnily enough you can't really laugh very well while kissing someone. I hesitantly put my left hand on her lower back, right hand sort of hovering uncertainly in midair, and decide that I really don't care if I ought to be bothered because honestly I'm really not.

Shell smiles lightly against his lips, knowing she couldn't laugh either even if she wanted to right now. She moves her right hand to his shoulder, slightly dangling over it as her left placed his right on her neck. Her left hand then found its way into his hair, tangling a little.

I pull her slightly closer, not so hesitant now and putting my hand on the side of her face.

Shell deepens the kiss a little, scooting closer to him since he pulled her closer. After a few seconds more she breaks the kiss resting her forehead against his. "Never thought I'd be this close to you... not that I'm complaining." she says with a smile.

I laugh very slightly. "Believe me, it's weird... but I'm not complaining either."

Shell laughs a little as well before kissing his lips lightly for a second. "So. This makes us what exactly?"

"Good question," I mutter, laughing slightly. "People who would mutually be very bothered by each others' deaths?"

Shell shakes her head, but still laughs. "Maybe dating?" she says softly biting her lip a little. "Unless you'd rather be people who would be mutually bothered by each others' deaths?"

"Second one is less...." I shrug, making it more of an uncomfortable twitch then I shrug. "But... I don't know. I take it you'd prefer the first?"

"That would be the right assumption." she says softly before taking his hands and linking them with hers as she looked at him with a weak smile.

I look down at the floor, not really sure what to say to that. ‘Well, all right then,’ with a shrug? Doesn’t seem quite right.

"Fitzy? You okay?" she asks tilting her head to the side letting her curls fall over her shoulders and a few into her face.

"It's okay." she says dropping his hands and just nodding at him lightly. "It's perfectly okay..."

"Not really." she says softly before kissing his lips lightly again. "Are you sure you care about me this way?" Shell sighs a little biting her lip, "Because if you just want to stay friends and not date it's okay I guess too."
