Readers POV
Ben and I had finally arrived back at my place. We didn't see Susie along the way however but I'm sure she would be back shortly. Although, I didn't want her back just yet. I just wanted to have the rest of the night with Ben all to myself. My parents weren't home and wouldn't be back till tomorrow, so this was the perfect opportunity.
Once inside, Ben heads upstairs to use the bathroom and I make my way to the kitchen to get us some drinks. Id had enough of alcohol, so colas would do nicely.

Not long after, Ben came back down and sat himself  on the sofa, to which I joined, sitting comfortably next to him. Placing the colas down on the small coffee table.
We were sat for a while as we decided what we wanted to watch. We were torn between a horror or a romance movie. But in the end we decided for a horror. Maybe if I could get scared enough, I could use that as an excuse to cuddle up to Ben. Hide my face in his chest.. god I bet he smells nice being as he dressed up all smartly.. However, as the thought went through my head, it just so happened that I didn't need the excuse, Ben wrapped his arm around me, his hand gripping my shoulder, pulling me towards him as he adjusted his position so that I was now leaning against him. It was the sweetest thing. Like a couple cuddling together. His body was so warm, I could feel his heat radiating from him and onto me. His heart was beating at a soft pace, I could listen to it all day. Just knowing that he's here and alive with me like this, I couldn't help but smile, with a small giggle of joy.

"What's funny?"
He asks as his hand softly strokes across my shoulder and down my arm. It was such a gentle touch but enough to sooth me completely. I didn't want him to stop, not yet.
"Oh nothing. I was just thinking."
I smile as I nuzzle my head against his chest more. I feel his body lift a little as he chuckles, his chest raising and jumping as he does.
"Thinking about me huh?"
He chuckles once more, giving my arm a few playful taps with his hand. I couldn't help but laugh, although, I think he was taking it down the funny route. So rather than telling the truth that I was just happy he was here and his action of cuddling me, I thought I would bend it a bit.
"I was just thinking about what you would look like as a furry."
He suddenly grabs me and spins me around so I lay across his lap on my back, looking up at him with a smirk on my face.
"A furry?! Really [Name]?!"
I couldn't help but laugh, reaching up and grabbing his long pointing ears.
"Yeah I mean, you're already an elf, so what's one step further?"
His eyes squint and his expression forms a mocking frown. But he soon laughs with a smirk.
"An elf? A furry? Right, that's it!"
He suddenly plunged his fingers into my side and vigorously began to tickle me all across my sides and rib cage. I couldn't stand being tickled. I was so ticklish, I couldn't stop laughing hysterically as my body trashed around on his lap.
"N-No! No sto- stop! Stop! I can't! I can't take it!"
I was interrupted each time I spoke by my own laughter. But I finally stop the torture as I manage to grab his wrists and hold them away. Panting heavily.
"Give in?"
He smirks playfully as his fingers flutter to mock another tickling session as I held his wrists up.
"Please no more.-"
"Beg me"
"I'm not going to beg you!"
"Okay then!"
Saying that, he yanks his wrists out of my grip and begins to tickle me again over and over until I was laughing so much, it became hard to breath.
"O-Okay!.. You!.. You win! I'll do whatever you want, just please stop!"
I laugh loudly, gasping for air and panting as his raising his hands to his chest as a sign to show he would stop. But he soon lowers them, one lays around my waist, the other on the sofa beside him.
"What was that?"
He asks with a cheeky grin. He knew exactly what I had said, he just wanted me to say it again. Looking at him square in the eye, I lift up my torso,
Leaning on my arm so that I was face to face, only inches away.
"I'll do whatever you want."
I said confidently but also in a kind of seductive tone. I'm not really sure what came over me, but I felt different. More confident and daring. But maybe, maybe even flirty?
"Is that so?"
He spoke so softly, his eyes watching me, looking at all my features like a painting as he slowly leans closer, gently pressing his lips against mine.
