Why can't it be both?

Great question!

I don't have an answer. I just can't wait until we can get home~

[ See, they can both be really curious, and also not thinking long term, it's fine! ]

Me neither. We've got a lot of free time.

I can think of some things I could do, but none of it's nearly as fun as this. Or being with you.

We can do them next time!! Especially while things are this calm.

[ and into the house they go~ ]

[Ruby instantly shoves open the door to Kalim's room to lead him there.

Purely because it's closer than hers.]

You're gonna jinx it, it'll stop being calm before you know it now.

-- Really?!

[ oh hey, they're going to his room, okay ]

I mean, maybe!? Use your luck power for good, Kalim, not jinxing us.

[But she leans in to give him a kiss after she shuts the door.]

[ well, he could say something, but he is easily distracted, and it's easier to lean down to kiss her back, still gentle ]

[now that they're somewhere actually private, she fully relaxes, wrapping her arms around kalim's neck and pressing herself against him]

[ he's distracted, but he wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close, maybe a little bit of leverage. but when he needs a breath: ]

I won't jinx us. Promise.

I know you won't. Not on purpose.

[But she's already diving back in for another kiss.]

[ he wants to say something else, but oh, they're kissing again, and he's distracted as easily as he was the first time.

it's... a lot less confusing now, to kiss her.

a hand goes to her cheek, and he grins against her lips after a moment ]

We should go somewhere more comfortable, my beloved.

Yeah, o—

[and then it registers what he said, and she pulls back just. totally red, totally bewildered, married couples barely say that to each other.]

Beloved!?

[her voice is basically a high pitched squeak]

Of course!!

Is that wrong again??

I just!! Beloved is usually for people who are married!

... But it's not that I don't like it I'm just not used to hearing it!

I'm so confused... What would you normally call your lov-- girlfriend?

[ safe. ]

Honey? Darling? Um...

Nicknames? It's... not really a big thing in Japan. I could get used to it, though.

That's not very affectionate at all...

[ this is his observation. he wants to try but also, this feels more natural to him ]

Can I call you that??

... Yes.

I like it. A lot.

Okay.

[ and then another sweet kiss to her cheek, ]

But we definitely shouldn't keep standing near the door, no matter what!

Definitely not.

[She lets go, and leads him over to the bed. Waaaay more comfortable, for sure.]

[ exactly, though honestly he knows what they are supposed to do but also he has never done it before?? Kissing is one thing, which he is more than eager to do.

A little like changing the context made it a lot easier for him somehow, but the other parts…

He’ll figure that out in a minute, as he presses his lips to hers after they’ve sat down ]

[It's true, they can figure that out in a bit. It's not like she doesn't have some idea on what happens next too, she's seen dramas, but so much of this isn't even close to being like her dramas too.

But, you know, a good next step is deepening the kiss into something a little less chaste.]

[ oh right, they can do that. He opens his mouth to her easily, hand going to cup her cheek to pull her closer, his other hand brushing against her hand for the moment ]
