Lullaby (Zero x Stanley)
"If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs,
The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
Crying to the moo--oo--oon,
If only, if only."
Stanley looked over at Zero, who was splayed out on the ground. He saw a small smile grow on the latter's face; he couldn't help but stare at his best friend's lips for longer than he should have.
"If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply;
Reflecting the sun and all that’s gone by.
Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly.
Fly high my baby bird,
My angel, my only."
Stanley gaped at Zero as he continued the lullaby. He could sing?!? Zero looked at him with a slightly sheepish expression. Stanley struggled to find words.
"Wow..." He blushed lightly. Could Zero get any more wonderful? The said person's dark, hypnotic eyes flitted down to the ground, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
"Thanks, but I'm really not." Why had he said that? It was Stanley's turn to flush as he realised he had voiced his thoughts. He then crouched by Zero and looked into his eyes.
"Lie. You could never not be amazing." Zero didn't answer, but instead lurched upwards and smashed their lips together. Stanley's brain took a few moments to process what had happened, but his heart was beating rapidly from the first touch. He pulled Zero closer by grabbing the front of his orange jumpsuit and kissed back. The kiss could've lasted several hours or mere seconds, Stanley couldn't tell. All he could think was that he was being kissed. By Zero. The boy he'd loved for weeks. Zero pulled away, his face still only a few centimetres from his own, his chest rising and falling but a large grin plastered on his face. Stanley mirrored it.
"I've always wanted to do that." The lovebirds gazed into each other's eyes.
"Me too. I love you, Zero."
"I love you too."
