Can it be Real?

Kei icily escorted Subaru back to his house, carrying the convenience store bought items to his door, while fully expecting to have to trudge off all alone again, but after Subaru disappeared inside for a moment, he returned to the open door.

"Looks like she's gone already... did you still want to come in?"

She didn't answer, but stepped inside and kicked her shoes off roughly.

Dropping the bag onto his table, she crashed sideways onto the sofa and watched him unpack - still sourly mulling everything over internally.

A lot had happened between and to them recently, while Minami Tetsuko had complicated Kei's world by making her intentions clear; she'd obviously made a move on Subaru successfully too, while apparently a few others had also made moves on him and her as well - which Kei didn't like at all.

Between the rumours around Subaru and I - we're the hottest tickets at school... but we don't even touch each other...

Kei looked over at the surprisingly beautiful guy who finished tidying up about his kitchen, still rather delicately and daintily, thinking about a real possibility of getting closer with him.

I want to be nearer... I want to just be with him... I think... I might even want to get intimate... with Subaru....

When he was done, he moved back over and sat on the furthest edge of the big seat from her and waited with his hands in his lap.

"Subaru..."

"Yes."

He quickly squeaked.

"I think we need to discuss our arrangement... about us dating."

I'm taking a huge risk here - I mean I don't know if he truly even fancies girls... Though a few big enough signs point that way... I'm not one hundred present certain...

He waited on.

"I want us to date - properly."

Subaru was obviously confused a little when Kei went right out and said her wish.

"I mean really date - do what couples do... because I like you."

He fidgeted with his hands while his uncertainty disappeared.

"Yes - I'll go out with you... for real... I'd like that."

Kei felt overwhelming relief after her flicker of surprise at Subaru's instant accepting that they'd both take the relationship to a reality, but now she'd dropped her biggest angst and it had gone down well, next came a more embarrassing set of requests.

"So uh... should we do... things real couples do...?"

"Like dinners together?"

Subaru asked rather innocently.

"I was thinking more like... what couples do in private..."

Kei suddenly got a little more nervous, so downplayed her own suggestion, even though she really wanted to blow off some steam somehow.

"Like... I need to know how to... at least, I guess."

Is that enough of a prompt for some action...?

"So kissing?"

Subaru said hesitantly.

That's it... kissing is a good start...! Actually, I've never tried kissing anyone before... I really don't know any of this stuff...

"I've never done 'couple-ly stuff' before..."

Subaru watched on like a statue.

"I want you to teach me... what to do... about all the things..."

Kei gradually got quieter and looked away, feeling her cheeks grow hotter, as she got more embarrassed and slightly ashamed with her lack of knowledge in the matter she proposed.

They watched each other quietly for a period, till Kei's want made her break the silence of the quiet house with just the two teenagers present.

"What would you say if we... stepped it up... to us actually... kissing..."

"Really, now?"

Subaru looked like he could barely contain his excitement, which surprise Kei a little more.

He genuinely looks eager... but Subaru is a 'he' after all...? Wait a second - does this mean he likes me... like really like me for me..?

"Yeah... so... if you wanted to..."

"I happily would... if you're okay with that..."

Kei watched Subaru shift right along the seat, and only stopped a few centimetres away.

All right then... this is going to happen...

"So... um..."

Subaru swivelled his head to face hers, as he leant in a little.

"What types of kiss did you want to try?"

Types... as in more than one... I don't know...?!

"The usual... I guess."

It sounded bashful, the way she said it, but Kei really felt a grown 'need' within her, that compelled her to try these things she'd never done before.

"Okay then... lets just..."

Subaru lent that last bit over and their warm lips touched for a lingering moment.

Despite how close that was... that wasn't so special now was it...?

"Is that it?"

"Well no, how about..."

Again they touched, but this time his lips and a slow flicker of his tongue accompanied the press, that made Kei's mouth both tickle slightly, but also grow warmer.

"Was that nice?"

Subaru asked, as Kei remained still and processed.

"Yeah... can we maybe do a little more?"

Another brushing of their lips, and this time a deeper and gentle caress, and Kei too found her own tongue rubbing Subaru's inside her mouth, before chasing it back into his.

That's got me all... hot now...!

Her groin slightly ached when she thought about doing more sexy things with him, not that she had any sexual experience at all, but her hands had wandered to his arms as she drew him in for another go, without saying a word.

How is he such a great kisser...! I mean this is really starting to blow my mind...!

He pulled away, but Kei nearly wanted him to just keep going, totally addicted to the sweet sensations their lips made together.

"Darn... so that's what... real kissing is like huh?"

It felt totally peculiar to talk with such tingly lips and an extra sensitive tongue.

"Well yeah, I think that's how it goes..."

Subaru played coy, before realising Kei had a hold of his shirt and wasn't letting go.

I want to go further... like maybe even... doing other stuff...!

"Should we move on to something else...?"

Kei prompted as she suddenly and strongly hungered for more similar sensations.

"If you want to...?"

Kei was already softly nodding as their hands started wandering over the others near body.
