#has made it here now

Kel kisses Aubrey under the mistletoe at Hero’s insistence and plays it off like it wasn’t a big deal which makes Aubrey super suspicious and eventually leads to the kiss. 

Which is shy and sweet gentle brushing of lips on Aubrey’s door step.

She had only been reaching up to hug him, like when they were small. Around his neck so that she could rub her cheek against his, to get that last bit of skinship for the night. Kel thought Aubrey might have wanted more and went for it, nervous.

The panic on his face when he realized Aubrey had not been reaching for a kiss is cut short by her pulling him down for another. Embarrassed by how silly it feels now. Wondering if they could be alone like this for just a moment longer, please.

 Kel pulls away to wish her a happy new year, but Aubrey is pulling him back in for another kiss.

They stand silently in the cold breathing hard and looking at the ground too embarrassed to look at each other and acknowledge what just happened. Kel steps back and wishes her goodnight, but Aubrey grabs his hand and squeezes

“I’ll see you tomorrow, right?” She sounds worried.

“I’ll come over, don’t worry”
