I...

[ he's being so kind to her when she doesn't know what she did to warrant any of this. it's definitely not unwanted; it's just surprising. she wants to tell him, but... ]

I just have to work through this. I'll be fine.

Okay.

[He doesn't quite believe her, but he's not going to press the issue. She'll talk about it when she's ready, and forcing it's not going to do her any good.]

Okay... I'm here for you if you need me, okay?

[ she nods and looks up at him. ]

Actually...there's one thing you can do for me, if you wouldn't mind.

What is it?

[He doesn't mind at all - he wants to help.]

It's...silly. But...

[ she blushes a little. ]

I could use a distraction, if you aren't too tired. I would much rather this not ruin my night with you.

What kind of distraction do you need?

[He's a little tired, but it's nothing too bad. He can handle staying up for a little while longer.]

Hm.

[ she looks embarrassed, but... ]

I think kisses would be nice.

[He laughs, before nodding.]

Yeah, I think so too.

[He leans in, kissing her soft and sweetly.]

[ she definitely wasn't wrong. it's really sweet, and ana moves her hand to gently cup his cheek. she kisses him slowly, softly.

she's very glad lance offered to come over. ]

[He's glad he came over too, even if won't say as much. It feels like an unspoken thing, though, that he's glad to be there.

He's glad he can help.]

[ she kisses him for a little while longer before she pulls away. when she does, there's a small smile on her face. ]

...I hope I did a little better that time.

Way better.

[He smiles back at her.]

You're basically a pro.

That must be because I have a pro teaching me.

[ she laughs a little. ]

I still can't believe that this is happening.

Oh, it's definitely happening.

[He chuckles.]

I'm glad it is.

[ she's a little bashful...but she reaches for his hand and laces their fingers together. ]

If you keep saying things like that, I might just keep on falling for you.

[ ...oh. ]
