What if Ellie and Riley’s first kiss went more like this instead of how it actually did?

Ellie and riley were on the merry go round and it was too fast, Ellie spoke up “it’s a little fast don’t you think? Shit, I think I’m gonna be sick” riley came up behind Ellie and spoke “you want me to slow it down for you?” “Shit, you can do that?” Riley chuckled and nodded “yeah. One sec” she jumped off the merry go round and slowed it down by using the control panel and ellie spoke again, sitting on one of the horses “thanks” Riley got back onto the merry go round, sitting on the horse next to Ellie “no problem” Ellie spoke again “you’re great.” Riley chuckled “Oh,I know.” Ellie sighed playfully “you’re so full of yourself Riley! God, why am I letting you tease me like this? I let you get away with too much” Ellie’s confidence boosted slightly, taking on a more flirty tone of voice “not that I’m complaining” Riley chuckled slightly, taking on a playful tone herself “oh, so it’s like that is it?” Ellie giggled slightly “oh, shush” she sighed a bit playfully “you’re just too cute, it's hard to resist ya’!” Ellie smirked slightly, taking the chance to tease Riley. Riley looked surprised as she spoke “cute? Your kidding?” Ellie chuckled as she spoke again “oh, no.. I’m dead serious.. you’re just.. like, the cutest thing in the entire world.” Ellie blushed slightly out of embarrassment as she spoke “I can’t help it. I just look at you and my heart melts!” Riley shook her head playfully “now, if we’re gonna talk about cute, let’s talk about you. Cuz you’re fuckin’ adorable.” Ellie blushes and looks away, a little flustered “Oh, stop it! You’re making me blush!” She then laughs slightly “You’re the cute one here, Riley, not me. I mean…” she moves slightly close to Riley as she speaks, smirking slightly “...just look at you... you’re so beautiful…” Riley tried to hide the fact her mind was racing but the fact that she was blushing didn’t help, Ellie looks at her and laughed “Is someone starting to get a bit flustered?” Her smirk grows as she cupped Riley’s cheek, gently stroking her cheek with her thumb “You're so cute, Riley…” she leans in closer “You're more than cute... you're gorgeous, you know that?” Ellie pauses for a moment “Actually... is it alright if I... say something?”
a swarm of butterflies filled Riley’s stomach as she blushed more and she cleared her throat “uh, yea, sure” Ellie smiles softly “Well then, you should know…” Ellie leans in even closer, their faces only inches apart “I... really, really like you, Riley.. I want you to know that.” She stayed close to Riley as Riley whispered slightly under her breath “fuck it” Riley then leaned in and kissed Ellie softly. Ellie's eyes go wide and she blushes even more as Riley kisses her. She looks at Riley, clearly surprised and breathless. Her heartbeat speeds up as she looks into Riley's eyes, and she can't believe what just happened “You... did you... did you just kiss me?” Riley started to get nervous and panic slightly “uh, shit, yeah.. I’m sorry.” Ellie then softly caressed Riley’s cheek with her thumb as she did before “don’t be, Actually. I liked that. Like, a lot” she looks into Riley's eyes and gets closer to her again “Can you do that again?” So she did, she kissed Ellie more passionately this time, Ellie kisses Riley back with just as much passion, and after a few seconds, they both pull away, breathless, Ellie spoke softly in a low whisper “That was, uh... wow. That was incredible.” she smiles softly and blushes, laughing a little “You know, Riley... I think I'm starting to think that maybe I could really like you.” her smile grows a little as she looks into Riley's eyes “So I guess I gotta ask... are we... y'know? "A thing?" Now?” Riley replied with little hesitation “I mean, I guess so, if you wanna be?” Riley was blushing, hard. She scratched the back of her neck slightly as Ellie replied, blushing too “I... I wanna be. Would... you want to be "a thing" with me?” she smiles softly, seeming somewhat nervous, as she waits for Riley's reply, Riley nodded as she spoke “totally, yeah, I would love to!”..
