[Oh no, just the fact that Melody is idly playing with his hair is enough to make his knees go weak. Yuteru doesn't realize just how dry his throat is until he attempts to swallow, and even then there isn't anything he can do about it. But then their eyes meet, and he's positive that his blush deepens impossibly further.
Upon realizing that his mouth is slightly open, he quickly presses his lips together, and still can't bring himself to look away from Melody's eyes. In fact, he can't do much at all, and only stays frozen in place for several seconds before almost subconsciously leaning toward her. Ah, they're close.... very close. One moment of impulse it all it takes, and before he can even comprehend it, he finds himself pressing the tiniest, feather-light kiss to her head. Upon pulling back, the realization finally sinks in, and then.... nothing.
....He just did that, didn't he? He really did that?]
[Of all things to happen in that moment, Melody didn't expect Yuteru to start leaning forward. She's so startled that she freezes up, and even when he presses unfairly soft lips to her head she can only let out a tiny breath. For a second time, as well as her heart, feels like it stops. She's flooded with warmth, and the blizzard outside is all but forgotten as her mouth tries to form words that her vocal cords aren't following.]
Ah-- Ah... Eh--
[Melody shuts her mouth and swallows before trying again. Her mind feel like it floated off somewhere, so her words spill out completely unchecked.]
I think you... missed... [It was meant to tease Yuteru, but she's so red and sputtery, it's hard to look cool while doing it. She even leans forward a bit, but her boldness doesn't take her the extra step.] That's not how you kiss someone...
N-No, I.... [How badly is his voice quavering? Are his hands trembling? Where is he supposed to look, and what if they're so close that his overwhelmingly nervous expression is offputting? Better yet, what kind of face is he making to begin with?!
The momentary boldness he'd felt in spurts once again eludes him, and in an attempt to collect himself, Yuteru rests his cheek atop the auburn hair so close to it. He just needs a moment to compose his thoughts; why would Melody say something like-- No, there's no time to think about that sort of thing!]
Um, it.... It's not? [How stupid must he sound right now?]
[Melody is honestly so embarrassed that she might die. She can't see his face right now, so she nervously presses her face into his neck. He's sweating a little, and he's hot. You can hardly even tell that there's a blizzard outside right now. She stays relatively quiet for a second, trying to gather her own courage, and then pulls back. Her honey colored eyes are vibrant and confident despite her nervousness, and she bites her bottom lip for a second before releasing it to speak.]
You should try it on the lips... [Melody's voice is squeaky, but there's no wavering in her tone. There's no question that she wants this.]
[Yuteru is becoming increasingly convinced that not only his hands are trembling, but his arms and the rest of him probably are too. But that isn't the issue here. No, the issue isn't just how positively shaken he is, both inside and out, but instead the fact that he has to do something. He wants to do something. And even more obvious is the fact that he's being invited to do it.
Honestly, he isn't even sure he can make himself move. His willpower and confidence are fluctuating wildly by the second, and his thoughts are scrambled to the point that he's surprised he even comprehended Melody's quiet words. They're alone in a dark room, pressed up against each other close enough to feel each other's breath. How is he supposed to calm down when she's looking at him like that? Her gaze is positively heart-stopping.
Timid as he may be, he has enough courage to do this, doesn't he? Melody's words continue to play on an endless loop in his head as he looks back at her, trying to swallow in his nervousness before finally leaning that first centimeter forward.... And then there's nothing he can do. Just as gentle as before, he bridges the distance between them and barely brushes soft lips to hers, letting them linger for the briefest moment before pulling back with an expression nothing short of bewilderment. He did it.... he actually did it, didn't he?!]
[It feels like forever passes after her quiet words before Yuteru finally bridges the gap between them and presses the softest kiss to her lips. Even though it was so gentle, she feels an electric shock through her body as her heart starts beating fast enough that she's worried about it exploding. She can feel her face heating up rapidly, and her neck starts to sweat. As he pulls away, her fingers twitch, and she can only stare in unbridled awe towards the boy. Melody knows that Yuteru can see the embarrassing look on her face, and she's sure that even in the dark he'll be able to tell that she's red.
Ahhh, she didn't expect to react this much to something like this. How embarrassing! She can feel herself trembling, or is that Yuteru? Honestly, they're so close, with their bodies touching, that she can't tell anymore. Whose heart is who's? It's almost like they're both beating at the same pace. She takes a short breath and then finally she finds the will to move. There's a flash of some sort of emotion in her eyes as she sits up, almost like she's not done.
She's not sitting up and staring down at him for long. In a second, she's swinging her leg over his body and gently rolling him onto his back. She hovers above him for a second, and then she sits down on him and leans in close. There's a second of hesitation where their faces are centimeters apart, but then she closes the gap and their lips connect for a second time. She cups his cheek in her palm as she tilts her head, not letting the kiss end so quickly this time.]
[If there's any one thing Yuteru is certain of right now, it's that he's making a terribly embarrassing expression. He must be even redder than before, but as he timidly pulls back and somehow gathers the courage to finally look up at Melody again, he's quick to notice that she's blushing too.
The next few moments feel like an eternity, just staring openly and trying to find the right time to hide his eyes, breath caught somewhere in his throat. But then Melody sits up, and Yuteru can only begin to try to do the same. But before he knows it, he's staring at the ceiling, auburn hair falling over his face. Melody's eyes are suddenly so close, and there's some sort of weight on his stomach, and he can only hope to comprehend what's happened in the past few seconds, and, and--
It takes a few moments for Yuteru to actually register his current situation, but the lips pressed against his are so soft and warm that he finds himself closing his eyes instinctively. He's suddenly forgotten how to move, much less breathe, but Melody only leans in further as Yuteru's brain desperately tries to keep up with his accelerating heart. She's.... kissing him, isn't she? She's actually kissing him?!]
