Okay okay okay the first kiss. Just a teeny tiny spoiler for "Damsel in the Red Dress"...
I bite my tongue.
But I…
Really really just want to - need to know-
“Kat,” I ask a little shyly, as he keeps watching my face…waiting for me to be convinced it’s ‘okay’ so he can stop panicking that I can see through -
But I have to…
“Do you remember that old X-Men show we used to watch when we were younger, where there was that chick who could steal people’s powers and memories, and she always did it by kissing them for no reason?”
Breathe.
“Yeah.”
I can’t tell if…
“We’re going to play a little game,” it’s almost a whisper, and he looks at me with a nerve-wracking-ly impassive expression - almost impassive - but in his eyes, I can see that slight light and coquettish curiosity-
“If I kiss you, I steal your memories, and you have to answer one question for me.”
