[ 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 ]

[she takes his other hand, giving it a squeeze, before guiding it up to a breast. this is your permission to feel her up, kalim.

and it feels like another good starting point, anyway.]

[ —- oh.

He blushes again, though she probably can’t see it. He doesn’t pull away, though, and there’s a little bit of pressure as he tries to get used to…

Boobs.

In his hands. It’s tempting to open his eyes just to see what works and doesn’t work?? ]

[There's a sharper intake of breath as he just, kinda like, feels around and squeezes and stuff because it's one thing if you doing it but another thing if it's another person entirely so it just feels new and different!!

And honestly if he opened his eyes she wouldn't know given that she's got them closed and she's enjoying the moment.]

[ oh, that’s… nice… he does end up opening his eyes to sneak a look at her reaction.

It still makes him blush a little more— but also kind of excited?

He closes his eyes again and presses down into the kiss a little more, experimenting lightly there too, his fingers a little more firm against her chest, but it’s hard to feel any contours with her bra on for now ]

[unfortunately, clothes exist, and she realizes that too. so, after a moment, she breaks the kiss so that she can pull back and she pulls off her shirt. not her bra! yet! but it's still a little more freedom than before.

. . . but she's also going to tug at his shirt a little, too. off with it, bud. she's not going to be the only one without a shirt here.]

It's okay, right? To take it off.

[ give him a moment— but then he nods, shedding his cardigan at the nudge. ]

Okay.

[ and then he has to fiddle with buttons—- not even getting into his headdress.

Turns out he has a lot of clothes. ]

[you big desert baby]

Let me help.

[Because she will, and she is. It helps the process go a lot faster if nothing else??]

[ IT WAS REALLY COLD OVER THE WINTER OK. But he blinks and then nods—

It DOES go faster. And it’s not like he is wearing his full uniform. ]

Thanks!!

[ he says, sneaking a kiss ]

[she laughs, giving him a kiss back]

I'll keep you warm, don't worry.

Ahahaha… okay.

[ it seems that he has been lucky for scars so far— another bit of luck that he’s hidden well. But his tattoos are more obvious— along both arms, white and in a curling pattern.

He hasn’t really worn short sleeves to make them obvious before. ]

I’ve never done anything like this before… you liked that?

[oh yeah, actually, it's notable that she's got a stab wound from the FATEFUL FLAG STABBING and what looks like a bunch of surgical scars from where the bomb was. Since he probably hasn't seen those, she's usually pretty good about not getting changed in front of people.

but she traces the tattoos along his arms thoughtfully]

I did, I liked it a lot. . . . I didn't know you had all these, though.

[ she’ll be able to see the scar on his back from feather face later… he blinks ]

Oh yeah! I’ve had them for awhile…

[ though, he is distracted by the scars for a moment. And then… wraps his arms around her pulling her close and down to the bed with him, just so he can nuzzle her, affectionately ]

You’re so beautiful.

How lon—

[there's a surprised noise as he pulls her down, though, before she nuzzles up to him and she takes a moment to just... enjoy? being pressed against him.]

You don't have to flatter me, Kalim.

Eh?? I’m just saying what I think!! Who cares if it’s flattery?

So you actually mean it?

[because now she's feeling all kinds of self-conscious]

Why would I lie?

[ again, with the genuine confusion ]

Sorry, I know you wouldn't. Just.

... You're the first person that's ever seen the scars, and I know they're pretty ugly, so...

Ahahaha… yeah. I could see that. And if you’re really worried, I bet Vil could help…

[ he considers for a moment, trying to be thoughtful about it. He wants to reassure her… ]

… but, I guess, they don’t really change my opinion? I wish they hadn’t happened! But… you’re still beautiful anyway.

It's kinda my job to have to look good. So. . .

[After she trails off, she just buries her face in his chest for a moment because she needs to take a second to get her thoughts under control.]

. . . Thank you, Kalim. It's just. Hard. Sometimes.

Yeah…

But you shouldn’t dwell! Especially not right now!

[ said as he nuzzles into the side of her head, near her head ]

I'm trying not to!!

[But, that still gets a giggle out of her all the same]

I love you.
