Hoth-er Than the Gates of Hell (Rima)

[Slot 11]

"U-uuuh..... I-if it helps you stay, um, cozy..... I-I guess you can?"​

​

Rima wasn't going to dive into the weirdness of the entire scenario. But they'd just pretty much started dating, right? It was totally normal for a girl and a boy to cuddle when they were dating. She continued to reassure herself of this as she crawled inside the tent.​

Celty didn't reply. His ears turned as red as the rest of his face. His blanked dragged on the ground a little as he pulled it into the tent, and then laid on his back, not even pulling the blanket over the two of them.​

​

"I made this really weird for you, didn't I? Like, in every freaking way possible. Sorry."​

Rima just lied there next to Celty for a few minutes. She pulled the blanket up a little to cover their waists before closing the tent.​

​

"You? It was me. I don't know what happened back there, but something made me just... attack you. I was two seconds away from smacking you, but instead..."​

​

She grinned a little. It was kind of funny now that she thought about it. One of her hands went back to his stomach as she scooted a bit closer to him.​

Celty grimaced at the thought of their little pheromone-powered wrestling session earlier. It was a little scary, now that he thought about it.​

​

"Uh, that was my fault, too... Apparently, even half-Zeltrons have pheromones, and... stuff like that happens when you combine adrenaline and yelling with 'em..."​

​

He tried not to think about it too hard as he gently rubbed the hand Rima had on his stomach.​

​

"Probably the only time I'll ever be happy that I used to get drunk often enough to pick that trick up."​

Rima scooted even closer, laying her head on his shoulder.​

​

"Do you remember the time you went skinny dipping in the little pond I had in my backyard? You did it at night because you thought no one would notice you then."​

​

Celty smiled at the memory. Rima had come out and actually held his hand for a couple of hours. He slid his arm under her back and pulled her a little bit closer as he leaned his cheek against her head.​

​

"You caught me, but for some reason you just came outside and grabbed my hand. And we sort of teased each other, even though we didn't know about that kind of teasing."​

​

Celty squeezed Rima and looked into her eyes.​

​

"So, at eight, we were less awkward about liking each other than we've been for the last couple of months."​

​

Rima's hand slid up from his stomach to his neck.​

​

"I was freaked out, trust me. You were naked in the pond I swam in all the time. But I knew if you figured it out, you'd get out and chase me or something. So, I decided to try and play it cool. I just held your hand on the edge of the water and explained that it wasn't a good idea to swim at night."​

​

She got even closer, her mouth inches from his neck.​

​

"Not that you listened to me, though. You always do things your own way."​

​

Celty smiled a little bit wider as Rima came closer. He craned his neck to kiss her on the lips, and barely pulled away.​

​

"But you seem to like my way. Or maybe your way's the same?"​

​

His hand moved up with hers, and he enjoyed the feeling of it. He was in love with his best friend, and she was lying here next to him. There was no way he could feel any better than he did right now.​

​

"I did something right, though. Was it letting you throw things at me?"​

​

Rima felt a wave of excitement and happiness wash over her when Celty kissed her again. She smiled widely.​

​

"Maybe. Or maybe it was you persistently finding ways to annoy me so much that I started laughing." ​

​

She kissed him again, soft and short. Her cheeks were pink from all the smiling.​

Celty felt way warmer than he normally would've felt under a blanket, in a tent, in a cavern full of ice and snow. When Rima kissed him, he was just so... happy. He nudged a little bit closer, so her head was resting on his chest. He raised an eyebrow at her.​

​

"Any specific incidents you're talking about? Never ran out of ways to try and make you laugh."​

"Tentacle mouth..."​

​

Fifth grade. Celty figured out that Rima had a fear of tentacles because she'd seen a horror movie where a guy's head exploded and tentacles came out. So what does he do? He finds a way to stick pieces of cooked asparagus in his teeth and jumps up in front of her going "Buhulululuh" and waving his hands like a maniac. He started doing that all the time, putting his fingers in front of his face and wiggling them with the noise every time he saw her. At first, Rima was scared. Then she was angry. Then she was annoyed. Finally, after the fiftieth time, she just started laughing.​

"Oh, really?"​

​

Celty curled his fingers and began to tickle Rima, until he made it down to the small of her back. Whenever he'd used to tickle her there, it'd involved a lot of shrieking and sometimes feet in his gut when she tried to push him off. As he tickled her, he brought his face closer until he knew he could hear his barely audible whisper.​

​

"Bwuhlalalalala!"​

​

Celty kissed Rima a little bit more deeply than before, and then stopped tickling and pulled back a little after a few seconds. He held her closer than she'd been and smiled happily.​

Rima laughed and squirmed and lightly tried to push Celty away. But the kiss made her go still. When he pulled away, she stared into his green eyes. Her smile faded just a little.​

​

"I love you, Hammerhead."​

​

She said, pulling him toward her and kissing him fervently.​

​

[Celty Ikon]

Celty let Rima pull him in, and he smiled as he kissed her back. His hands went down her back, and he found himself gently tickling her again. That was a little weird. But the fact that she'd told him she loved him like that erased most of his rational thought from his head. He pulled away a little, still tickling just a tiny bit.​

​

"I love you, too, Silly Filly."​

​

He slipped his fingers in between hers and held her hand, feeling all the warmth and happiness he could possibly bear.​
