( She's certain, more than ever, with the way that he seeks out her cool hands and the way his pulse beats so quickly that even March can hear the hammering of his heart that everything is not as it should be. Dan Heng is unflappable, he's cool and lacks people skills but he's still never been like this. Moving closer to her, and that startles her out of her thoughts long enough that she tries to speak. )
Wha--
( That's all she gets out before Dan Heng is kissing her. Dan Heng is kissing her! She's read a lot of books about this -- her first kiss and their first kiss! -- so she thinks she'd know what to expect. But there aren't any fireworks and the world doesn't change around her or move under her feet. Instead she feels warm, happy, because her first friend in the whole universe is kissing her.
So she presses back, making her lips as cold as her hands because his are scorching hot and they look out for each other. If she was going to kiss anyone she's glad it's Dan Heng. He never makes her feel bad or small or insignificant and he's so smart but in a way that never makes her feel stupid. March almost giggles, then, because now that she's kissed him she doesn't think she wants to stop.
There's stuff that people do during a kiss, right? Something about tongues, but she's not sure how they're supposed to go about that, so she just gently presses her's (after she's made it cool, too) against his lips, trying to see if maybe he knows more than she does about this sort of thing. )
