[ she makes a small, contemplative noise, then: ]

I don't want to.

[ she squeezes his hand. ]

This is good.

Good.

[He smiles, softly, squeezing her hand back.]

That's good.

[ she nods and looks up at him as he smiles, and...ah. he has such a nice smile... she grins back at him. ]

I think I'm going to lay down for a bit.

[She looks up at him and smiles, and he...

He acts on instinct.

He leans forward, and presses a quick kiss to her lips.]

[ she's about to look away for a second until she sees him lean forward, and.

oh...

oh. oh!!! ana's eyes widen, and she looks up at him with red cheeks. ]

Ah...

[ she pauses for a minute before she leans in to return the favor. ]

[Oh - oh, she's kissing him back. This is going better than he expected it would. It was just something that felt like the right thing to do.

It seems to have been paid off.

He's still hesitant, though, when he kisses her back. He doesn't want to pressure her. He just wants to enjoy this moment.]

[ she has no fucking clue what she's doing, she's just. going on instinct here, too? but it's really, really nice, and ana lets it linger a little before she pulls away. ]

...I-I hope that was alright.

That was definitely alright for me.

[He gives her a soft smile.]

As long as it was alright for you.

Y-Yes, of course it was, I...ah...

[ she's so embarrassed??? and so red, too. ana lets out a muffled, high-pitched noise beause she's so flustered and hides her face in his shoulder. ]

T-That was my first kiss.

[Oh.

Oh.

He raises an arm, patting her back.]

I'm sorry.

[ oh no... ]

N-No! Please, don't apologize, I...

[ she sighs and looks up at him, cheeks flushed. ]

I'm not upset. Truthfully... I'm glad it was you I shared it with.

[Wheezes...]

Well, I'm glad you're glad.

You're really something special.

[ she's so flustered, especially when he says she's special. ]

I'm not--

[ no, no ana. don't ruin the moment. she stops herself before she can go on any further before she looks at him. ]

...Mind if I kiss you again?

[Lance is so smooth.

Especially when he's not trying to be.

His eyebrows raise at his brief protest, before he blinks.]

Uh, yeah. I mean - go for it, if you want.

O-Only if you want me to! I don't -- I don't know what I'm doing, clearly --

[ she's nailing it. absolutely nailing it. ]

Sorry. I'm the nervous one, now.

[He laughs, softly.]

It's okay. We can both be nervous.

[He squeezes her hand, before kissing her again. Chastely, like a gentleman.]

[ nnnooooo he's so cute??? ana finds that she really adores kissing lance, even if she's having trouble believing any of this is happening. she kisses him back sweetly before she pulls away.

despite how nervous she is, she looks really happy. ]

...It's really nice, Lance.

[He's not cute!! He's super manly and rugged!!]

Really? I'm glad.

[He thinks so too, though. This is nice.]

[ no. ]

Y-Yes. It's...it's really nice.

[ she squeezes his hand. ]

So, um... I'd like to lie down, but I don't plan on sleeping just yet. You're more than welcome to stay if you'd like to.

...I'd...like it, if you did.

[Yes!!!!!!!!]

Heh.

[He nods, slowly.]

Yeah, of course I can stay.

[It's not like he has a roommate who'll worry about him being out.]

Thank you.

[ she smiles at him and leans in to press a quick kiss to his cheek. that's fine, right?

afterwards, she stands up to turn off the light and turn on her lamp instead. it's a dim light, and ana gets back to her bed. she lies down, careful to not aggravate her injuries, before she moves over to make room for him. ]

...If you'd like to.

No problem.

[He waits for her to lay down, and he's surprised she's making space for him, before he nods.

He lays down next to her, letting out a breath.]

This is pretty cozy.

It is, isn't it? Then again, anything is more comfortable than the bed I used to sleep on.

[ she lets out a weak chuckle before she turns on her side. luckily, it's her good side -- the one without the bite, so she can face him like this. ]

They're pretty luxurious beds.

[He looks over to her, a soft smile on his face.]

And you're pretty good company.

[ she grins back at him. ]

Am I? I think you are as well.

[ she sits up a little to pull the blankets over both of them. ]

Do you have any plans for summer vacation?
