Raven didn't think she could turn much redder at this point. "None of your business," she told him, desperately trying not to burst into inappropriate laughter. She booped his nose gently. "Why are you nosy?"

[HutchtheHeinous]

Ruty narrowed his eyes, but kept his grin plastered onto his face. He was really trying not to laugh at her, but knew he shouldn't. "I don't know, why are you so pretty?" He said, not realizing what he had said until a few moments later. Now it was his turn to blush, and his face was coated with red.

Raven hid her face in her hands, suddenly very insecure. "No, I'm not, stop," she said, her voice a wreck. She had forgotten how to speak. She was grinning uncontrollably. She peered at Ruty through one of her fingers. "You look like a tomato," she commented. She realized that it was a pretty dumb thing to say as soon as she said it.

[HutchtheHeinous]

Ruty laughed, waving his tail behind him, "well, you look like a raspberry, so we're even." He said quietly, gritting his teeth as another bolt of pain ran through his right ribcage. "Hell, this crap is going to take forever to heal..." He muttere.

"A raspberry?" Raven said with a scoff. "And yeah, it might. You should be more careful." She turned her gaze to the ground. "I really wish I could help you."

[HutchtheHeinous]

Ruty sighed, looking down at his side. "Yea...it's hard to get my mind off of it, especially when I'm in a grumpy mood." He muttered, "there isn't really much to cheer me up at the moment." He said, glancing over at her. "But if you can think of anything feel free to let me know..."

Raven shook her head, almost unnoticeably, at the first thought that popped into her mind. She was scared, but her uncle had always told her that if she was afraid to do something, she just had to count down from three and do it without thinking. That would be extremely difficult, here and now. She felt as if her stomach was in her throat but she sighed and looked over at Ruty, unable to imagine how worried she might look right now. She began the countdown in her head.
3... this is a terrible idea.
2... he's gonna push you away and hate you if you do this.
1... don't. Don't do it.
But she did it. All in one quick, uncoordinated move she placed a hand on the side of his cold face and kissed him gently.
It didn't last long, because she backed out about two seconds after her mind was made up.
She very much wanted to get up and leave and pretend it never happened.
"Hope that helped," she coughed awkwardly. Her mind was reeling so quickly that she couldn't focus on a single thought, and everything was blank to her.

[HutchtheHeinous]

Ruty's face, once again turned bright red, and he felt as if his stomach was tightening. He closed his eyes for the brief few second it lasted, and pulled away as she did. He looked at her, stunned, then kissed her back, but for a longer amount of time. He pulled back only slightly, "I-it did...t-thank you..." He said quietly.

[grapebats]

Raven sputtered for a few seconds. She kept opening her mouth to say something, but her vocal cords had picked this moment to stop working entirely. Her face was burning so much she could have gotten a sunburn from it, she was sure.
"Ruty... What's your last name now?" was all she could think to say.

[HutchtheHeinous]

Ruty smiled lightly, feeling his heart pounding in his chest. "Jakel..." He said quietly. "What about you?" He asked, a small smile still plastered into his face.
