Soren's brow furrowed in confusion at Zale's accusation. "Are you blaming me for something you started?"
Zale's voice trembled as he stuttered out a response, his eyes downcast. "N-no, of course not. Maybe I imagined it, but...why did you kiss me back?" A heavy sense of sadness weighed on him for some unknown reason.
Soren saw the chance to end their teasing once and for all. "Shouldn't you be punished for your outrageous actions?"
Zale met his gaze and nodded in agreement. "Yes, what do you want me to do? You can even hit me if you want."
A sly smirk spread across Soren's lips as he mustered up all his bravery. "I want revenge." He felt invincible, like he could do anything in that moment. "I want to do to you what you did to me."
"Reve--mmmnfgh!" Before Zale could respond, Soren pressed his warm and soft lips against Zale's cold ones, cutting off any protests. Zale stood frozen, his ears turning red with embarrassment.
