Nerd Love

You sat on the couch, more than a little puzzled as Jane fumbled around in the Kitchen.

What the Hell was today?

There was Dad and... whatever happened in Ms Franklin's office? the Days that you had spent at the Academy (So Far at least) had been filed with Classes, Studying and the occasional victimization, that was as exciting as things got for You, but today was something else.

Despite being a little freaked, due to recent events, Jane's gentle humming was just distracting enough to help relax things.

You pretended to play with your phone, but You were watching Jane stepping and twirling cheerily around your kitchen, looking around for the instant hot-chocolate.

Jane Watson was all in all a giant Nerd, Her long Curly hair always neatly tied back and her face was seldom uncovered from her large black-framed glasses, Cardigans, Loose jeans, and woolly jumpers frequented her daily apparel, dottings of faded freckles covered her light caramel-coloured skin, however somehow in the Chaos of today, You had failed to realize the odd little things that were wrong with the usual 'Jane Watson' that You had gotten used too.

"Trying out a new outfit today?"

She poked her head out of the kitchen "Oh this?" she faced her body in your direction, stretching her arms out so that You could see her in all of her glory.

A tight Emerald green shirt hugged her torso tightly, she was mostly skinny, not skin and bones but lightweight for sure, her waist was wide though, the sizeable rump that hung behind her being nearly as eye-catching as her breasts, which were perky and Springy through the Green material.

"Is she... even wearing a bra?" You thought as You looked down to her legs, barely covered by her loose black skirt and leggings, She blinked for a moment before smiling a little nervously "Just... something that I found laying around you know?"

Jane stepped back in for a moment, then emerged from the Kitchen, holding two cups of steaming hot Cocoa, which she was adamant about making herself for whatever reason, even though she was the Guest in Your dorm.

It also became apparent that she was a little on edge, she would giggle girlishly at Your usually unremarkable sarcastic quips, she was soft and warm now, a little less energetic and Sharp, She even started blushing when you offered to pay for the Pizza delivery... A hardly uncommon thing, You did have the Money for it after-all.

The Pain was great, excruciating even, no greater **** could be known... than to suffer defeat at nearly every split-screen game that you owned, to a fucking Girl... Again!

"Ha, get fucked!" Jane cried as her Magenta armoured Spartan smashed Your Blue elite, the crushing **** of the Gravity Hammer sending your character flying towards the other side of the Map

"Jesus Christ are you kidding me?!." You sigh, watching as Jane's Mane of Brown curls danced around her head, bathing in her absolute victory

"You Sir are my bitch!" she pointed at You cartoonishly, making You give her a malicious grin in return

"It's not fair, I barely know Sandbox."

"Perhaps we should switch to another Map, Valhalla maybe, so that I can kick Your ass again?" You take it back, she was still Satan... A very well dressed and undeniably cute Satan, it was doubtlessly part of her plan to further destroy Your Self-Esteem, this sudden change of style was all a trick.

"Nah... Nah I'm on to you, I think all of your little kindness' today has been to lull me into a false sense of security!" Her Brown orbs fixed on You curiously as she chomped hungrily on a slice of Pepperoni Passion

"Huh?"

"Well, You made sure I woke up for Dr Ito's Lecture this morning, paid for My coffee at Lunch, came with me to see my dad, You even made the Cocoa... when You're the guest! It's all a part of your master plan, to soften the blow for this evening's Gaming Devastation!"

Of course, You weren't being serious... but a she looked away getting a redder again, things became a little clearer, She had been nice today, and though Jane was never really mean, she teased playfully and allowed You to put Your abundance of funds to pay for Take-out or Coffee, maybe something was up, "Well... well..." she stammered, crossing her arms and fully blushing now "...I felt like I should return the favour every so often, You know?"

You had never seen her like this, fumbling and Nervous "What Favour'?" You asked, unsure of what she meant exactly

"Well," she started, keeping eye contact this time "You hang out with me every day, You buy things when we go for coffee or go to the comic store, help me out with my assignments... and there's the thing with Vicky too."

Wow... that was a while ago, You had almost forgotten how the Two of You met originally "I just did what anyone would have done Jane." Brushing it off as always, she shook her head very adamantly

"Oh really, because I seem to remember You being the only one that even bothered to stand Up to that Witch."

It felt like forever since then, The start of Your Term, You had found Vicky and her fellow banshees terrorizing Jane in the cafeteria, calling her names, pulling her hair, really nasty stuff.

Vicky and her group were bad in High school... but never anything like that.

Naturally, you confronted them, and it was probably the worst/best thing You could have done, insulting them in front of the whole academy like that, at least You earned Yourself the number one spot on Vicky's hit-list, "It's not a big deal."

Jane's hand crept along the couch, reaching your knee, where her shining Green painted fingernails danced around uncertainly for a moment "it is a big deal, I think that You're a really special guy Charlie." was it hot in there, or cold maybe because You were both sweating and shaking at the same time

"I um..." speech; not the easiest thing right now.

Shyness seemed to catch up with her "Y-You know, how about You clean up and I'll choose a movie to watch before I head back?"

"Yeah, Right, sure, of course!" You shot up from the couch, grabbing the Pizza boxes and Empty mugs in a flash and running away to the Kitchen. This was Crazy, absolutely insane, She has a Crush on You! How in the hell did You not see this? Your eyes were drawn to the Empty box that once had a small Hawaiian in it, "Maybe Pineapple on Pizza is Ruining my observational skills..." You flattened it and then began to empty the Crusts from her Pizza into the Garbage... She never ate the crusts, You found it a little weird but it was one of her little quirks, a small thing that made You smile.

......You totally had a crush on her too didn't You, this was fucking unreal "Hey does Kissing Booth sound okay!?" she shouted, making You jump and dropping some of the crusts on the Kitchen floor

"Uh, Sure!"

"Are You sure, I thought You hated chick-flicks?" You slid over to the door frame, poking You head out to her "I know but, there I go being Kind again right?" tilting her head curiously, she raised an eye-brow at You

"Are you alright, You look kinda Pale?"

"I'm great, perfect, just putting the mugs in the Sink okay?"

She smiled nervously again "kay'."

You did just that, put them in the sink, while having a minor panic attack "Holy shit, what do I do, she looks great and I look like a slob, Should I shower again or something, or brush my teeth, Is my breath okay!?" Your thoughts racing, Heart pounding, you gripped the sink tightly as You tried Your best to breath

"Charlie?" spinning around, there was Jane

"H-Hey"

"You look like You're gonna pass out dude!" Jane rushed over

"I'm okay, I just..." She waited for his answer as he thought for a second "...Just worried about going Home tomorrow I guess?"

Her warm grin helped calm things down a little "Well what if I went with You?"

"You wanna come to my Dad's tomorrow?" She took your hand, her pink lips arching as she smiled widely

"Come on, I'll give You time to think about it. I have a feeling You might like this movie!" she pulled You hand, leading You to the couch where she cheerfully picked up the controller and started her sickly sweet Chick-Flick.

Time passed as Jane watched her movie "Kissing Booth" You think she said, it was one of those Netflix romances, not particularly thrilling but not altogether bad either, it had its little twists and turns, the Main love interest seemed somewhat psychotic when looking at him logically but Jane seemed to be enjoying herself and that was all that mattered.

Every so often, however, You noticed that she would scoot a little closer, leaning in and clutching at Your arm while gasping as the Protagonist of the Tale was stood up by a potential date.

She smelt amazing, fruity and sweet, something that only became harder to ignore when Jane lent her head on Your shoulder "A-Any thoughts so far?" she asked, whether she was talking about the movie itself or the move she had made, You decided to play the safe route

"Well, it's not something I ever really considered adding to my experiences but... I like it."

she chuckled lightly "Good."

After a while You began to pay attention to the Movie less and less, taking in the smell of her perfume, feeling the soft bushy sensation of her hair on Your arm and noticing the cute little faces she would make when something would happen in the movie... however she seemed to start getting quite distracted herself when it came to one, certain scene. You're not sure what was going on but a bunch of characters started to make out, kissing in a large booth worthy of the Movie's namesake, and every thirty seconds or so, She would look at You, with her big brown eyes, quickly looking away and turning red when she saw that You noticed

"I have a question?" she suddenly asked

"Sure." You answered

Jane looked up at You, facing You without losing any distance "H-Have You, like, ever kissed anyone before?"

Gulping You thought back, only one thought came to mind, that one time Your Sister Diana smooched You when You were nine... not something that You wanted to talk about right now "Nope. why do you ask? You think we should start a kissing booth?"

"No, not really" Jane chuckled awkwardly.

"Oh okay..." You figured playing at confidence was better than awkward silence and so You shot back "What about You, any lucky Guys?" well that didn't sound cringy at all

"No actually."

"Seriously, none?"

Her eyes fluttered, how did You not notice how mind-blowing this girl was before, "Well plenty have tried, thinking that I'd be a Goody Goody."

You laughed "They clearly didn't get to know You first." Jane's brows fell as she frowned

"What do you mean by that!?"

Ah shit "No, no, no, not like that, I meant... You're good it's just that You're feisty sometimes." She backed up a bit, looking upset

"B-But I'm nice sometimes, like today right, I know I can a little harsh sometimes but I'm just teasing, You know that?" Her face changed very quickly from warm and happy to sad and worried quickly... Seeing her like that, it clicked something, like a clarity, You knew just what You had to stay

"You do tease and have a temper, but I know for a fact that You are a Smart, Kind, Thoughtful and Beautiful Girl..." hope ignited in her eyes and a furtive smile returned to her face

"Y-You honestly think that?"

Events unfolded like a stream flowing down a smooth rock face, she was getting close and so were You, time felt non-existent in the low-light of the room, the TV still flickering with life in front of them, but that didn't even register anymore "I do think that." You manage to say, breaking only a little from her Eyes, drawing closer and closer to You in the tenderness of the moment

"...Promise?" she whispered her minty scented breath making You grin boyishly before You're lips finally met

"I promise." And so it began, The Nerd Love.
