It had been a few hours since Micah showed up at your house and surprised you. The two of you talked and ate ramen together, and you got to know a bit more about the annoyingly attractive guy who hacked you 5 days ago.

After eating the ramen he’d cooked for you, you decided to go on a walk outside your house. It was nighttime now and the moon was out in full view.

You two conversed under the moonlight, teasing and flirting with each other.

A moment of tension filled silence falls between you two as you gently brush your fingers against his. It’s the first time you’ve ever touched him…

“Daaaamn…what’re you touching me for?” Micah drawls out. He’s smirking, but you can tell that little touch had an affect on him.

“You want me huh?” He teases lowly. He’s trying his hardest to seem confident as always, but you can see through it. He looks nervous.

“What?” You ask as a small blush covers your cheeks.

“You wanna dance with me under the stars so badly, don’t you?” Micah continues to tease.

You shoot him a glare and Micah just sticks his tongue out playfully.

“Yeah? Maybe I do. It’s romantic.” You scoff. Micah raises an eyebrow, still smirking.

“It’s definitely right behind climbing through my window on ‘the list’.” You hum

“The list?” Micah asks curiously

“Don’t worry about it.” You quickly shake your head.

“You’re right, I have…bigger things to worry about.” Micah chuckles, but his voice has slightly raised in pitch. He seems more openly nervous now as a faint blush forms on his dark skin.

“Like what?” You raise an eyebrow as your eye trails down to his trembling hand.

When you look back up, you see that his ears are red from blushing.

“Why are you blushing all of a sudden?” You scoff lightly

“It’s not sudden! I was holding back the blush for as long as I could…” Micah pouts and looks away, not letting you see his face.

“What?” You chuckle softly “Why are you hiding your face? Look at me.”

“Aha…no.” Micah chuckles breathily

“Why are you so embarrassed? We’re not even holding hands.” You point out

Micah slightly whimpers as he speaks

“But I felt your pinky on mine…”

“I know. I touched your pinky with my pinky.” You raised an eyebrow.

“IT WAS ON PURPOSE?” *Micah gasps

“Of course it was on purpose. Why are you pointing it out? You’re making me feel self conscious.” You blush

“I…uhhh…” Micah stammers

“I can’t think.” He admits with a nervous chuckle.

“I’m only thinking about the pinky touch.”

“The pinky touch?” You laugh

“You’re sooooo lame.” You tease

“Uh, then why do you wanna touch my pinky bro.” Micah deadpans.

“I don’t know. Just wanted to..” You shrug

“What would you call this? If not ‘pinky touch time’?” Micah chuckles at his own joke

You pause before stepping forward slightly.

“The moment before our first kiss.” You answer boldly. That confidence quickly diminishes the closer you get to Micah. You stop millimeters away from his lips as doubt creeps into your mind. Maybe this isn’t the right move?

“Oh, are you hesitating now?” Micah asks lowly.
