And then... Oh...
Oh! Suddenly she didn't want to cry anymore, she threw her arms around Kennedy's neck and hugged him tight. "Oh, I'm so glad!" she said. And she was, it felt like all of her insides were doing some crazy happy-dance. "Wait," she unwrapped her arms and stood back a tiny bit, holding onto his hands. "So... what does this mean?"
Was he her boyfriend now? Or..? Because if she was then he should technically be the one to say it first...
Kennedy saw her face fall for a bit, but it was because he had taken too much time to tell her how he felt. He was surprised when she launched at him, but he caught her in his arms and hugged her back tightly. It wasn't an awkward hug, nor a shy hug and he didn't hold back. It was nice knowing that she felt the same way he did.
This made his stomach tingle with a foreign, warm feeling.
He slightly frowned when she pulled away. Was it weird that he didn't want to let go off her?
Oh....OH!
Kennedy's cheeks flared, but he didn't look away. It was time to man up. So far, Aurora has been the one with the guts - something he liked about her - and now it was his turn. Kennedy cleared his throat, still holding her hands. Here goes.
"Aurora...w-would you like to be my g-girlfriend?" Gah! This made his heart go on overdrive, pounding against his ribcage so hard he wondered if Aurora could hear it. This was his first time asking that question that it made him feel incredibly nervous.
