I almost flinched when he spoke, but cleared my throat.
“If a… if a guy asked you out, what would you do?” I repeated hesitantly, fully expecting backlash.

I shoved my burning hands into my pockets, exhaling slowly and choppily. Nerves twisted my stomach into a million knots, rendering me speechless for a few seconds.
“That—That depends on which guy.”
I opened the door to our dorm, swallowing thickly at his answer. Before I could stop myself, I blurted out another question.
“If I asked you out,” the words rolled off of my tongue before I could stop them. “What would you do?”
Copper burrowed deeper into my hair, frantically attempting to help suppress my powers, which were currently burning marks into our floor.
“I would—I would say yes. And probably faint,” I whispered and squeezed my eyes shut.
That was all I needed to press my lips against his, fireworks exploding in my stomach. He said yes. He said he would. That meant he liked me, right?
I pressed my lips against his softly incase he wanted to pull away. I desperately wished he doesn’t, and I wished he’d kiss me back.
My eyes flew open in astonishment as something soft connected with my lips. It took a moment for me to register what was going on, for me to realize who it was, but once I had… Fireworks exploded in my chest. My trembling hands pushed themselves into his hair. Most importantly—I kissed him back.
Kaden has his mouth on mine. Another boy had their mouth on mine. And I had never been happier about the way it made me feel—so happy, that I didn’t notice my lips begin to burn.
I pulled away from Andreas in surprise, my hand flying towards my mouth.
At first, I could only register one thing. Andreas kisses me back. He liked me, too.
And the second was…
“Did you suddenly get shy, Andreas?” I teased. “I wanted to kiss you a bit longer, you know.”
The moment he pulled away, my eyes went round with fear. Had I done something wrong? Disappointed him? Hurt him? Disgusted him?
But one look at the expression on his face sent my worries to sleep. Since it wasn’t possible for me to blush harder than I currently was, my whole body decided to heat up like the coils of a toaster.
“I—You—We just—“ I stammered, unable to string together a set of words to form a proper sentence.
I turned pink as well, shuffling my feet.
“Yeah,” I agreed. “I did kiss you. God knows how long I’ve wanted to do that.”
Even if it was for a few seconds, his lips on mine felt absolutely amazing. It was like I was in heaven. I could only imagine what it would feel like kissing him for more than a few minutes.
“You are so adorable when you get flustered, you know that, right?” I laughed. “But control your flames, Andreas. I want to kiss you again.”
How on earth was he so calm? Well, calm compared to me. I was a complete wreck, a blushing mess… hardly deserving of someone like Kaden.
But, spurred on my the irresistible bribe, I did my best to wrangle my power, sucking the heat back into my core.
When I was sure Andreas had control over his abilities, I closed the distance between us again and captured his lips in another kiss, pulling him towards me, pressing our mouths harder against each other.
And God did it feel amazing. His lips, still warm, molded perfectly in mine. Fireworks erupted in my stomach and my heart decided to attempt to jump out of my chest, desperate. I was wrong.
Kissing him was much more enjoyable that I thought it would be.
My head became a wastebin of static, pushing away all thoughts that didn’t include the guy in front of me. The guy with his arms around me. The guy kissing me.
Kayden.
My world went white.
I finally pulled away to catch my breath, lips tingling from what we’d just done.
“Well,” I panted for oxygen. “I’d certainly like to do that again. Want to join me in my room so we can make out a little more without interruptions?”
I didn’t let him finish his sentence, only grabbed him by the front of his shirt and yanked him towards me again. Our lips crashed together, desperate, aching with desire. And I didn’t pull away.
My eyes widened in surprise at his bold move, but didn’t let it keep me frozen for long.
Wrapping my arms around him, I kissed him back with just desperation as he was, pushing against him as if my life was on the line.
I was struggling to keep from burning up, battling and pushing the heat back, trapping it inside of me. I didn’t want to hurt him—especially now, that he was kissing me. That I knew he liked guys. That I knew he liked me.
Pulling away, I rested my forehead against his, breathing heavily.
“God, you have no idea how much this makes me happy,” I whispered, breathing harsh.
I opened my eyes and looked into his—they were so dark, so beautiful in comparison to mine. Exhaling shakily, I offered a weak, wobbly smile. “I didn’t know—I didn’t think—I didn’t know you were—“
"Gay?" I finished for him, my cheeks slightly pink, my lips burning. "Yeah, I honestly thought you were straight, too. What a surprise, huh?"
“Y-Yeah,” I stammered, cautiously slipping my arms around his waist. “What a surprise.”
I kissed him on the head, sighing softly.
"I'm glad," I murmured. "Now I can say this without being dubbed as crazy. I like you, Andreas."
My cheeks glowed red—literally—at his words.
“I—“ Swallowing, I bumped our noses together. “I like you, too.”
I grinned before resting my head on his shoulder.
“I’m glad,” I mumbled. “Really, really glad.”
Gingerly, I pulled him into a tentative touch, careful not to let my burning cheeks hurt him or singe off any hairs. "This is all very… new to me," I said finally, nervousness trickling into my voice. "I–I've never done this before."
I noticed his hesitancy and smiled, hugging him tighter, paying no mind to the heat.
“You and me both,” I answered with a chuckle. “So we can try this together.”
