Just as you finish brushing your hair too, Ruel moves to stand right behind you. His arms snake around your waist, both hands sneaking under the oversized shirt you're wearing, so they can rest on your stomach.
Something you noticed lately, is that he's become more...touchy-feely. Sure, he liked to give you kisses randomly, but he never used to do things like this, or like what he did in bed just a few minutes ago. Brushing his fingers through your hair.
You didn't mind it at all, you were just a bit confused, since the both of you mutually agreed that no feelings were allowed.
"You're so pretty, Y/N." Ruel tells you quietly, maintaining eye contact through the mirror, while also bending down to rest his chin on your shoulder. "No, you're gorgeous."
That's another thing. He used to only compliment you while in bed, but now he does it all the time.
It still takes you by surprise every time.
Your face turns slightly red. "Thank you."
He grins, as his hands get higher and higher, until they're right under your breasts. "I still haven't received a kiss yet."
You turn around around in his hold, forcing him to move his hands back down to your hips. "Only because you're cute." And then you stand on your tippy toes to crash your lips onto his.
Ruel doesn't waste any time before returning the gesture, his hold on you tightening even more. He deepens the kiss after only a few seconds, and everything was going fine, until suddenly you felt a tingling sensation in your stomach.
Butterflies. Something you've never really noticed before while kissing him.
This new feeling surprised you, so on instinct you pull away.
This causes him to raise his eyebrows questioningly. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah." You attempt to send him a convincing smile, but you honestly just felt confused. Why did kissing him just now feel so much better than usual? "I-I should go. I have to work later."
He frowns, shaking his head while placing both hands on the bathroom counter, right next to each side of your body. Basically trapping you. "Stay a little longer, baby. Please?"
Usually it's easy for you to say no when he asks questions like that, but now all you feel like doing is staying here with Ruel. You have to fight the urge to agree, and instead shake your head sheepishly.
"I really can't. But I can stop by later tonight if you want?"
"Fine." He stands up straight. "But I expect to see you as soon as you get off of work."

- can't make it tonight, sorry :(
You hit send, feeling guilty immediately after.
It's not like you to flake on Ruel. You're always down to have some fun, or even just spend time with him.
But you can't shake off the weird feeling you got earlier. The fluttering in your stomach, and the way your lips tingled while touching his. You couldn't stop thinking about it all day. You were scared of what it meant, of why you suddenly felt that way with Ruel, which is why you cancelled.
