Well... this is awkward. [Open to anyone who'd randomly walk into Minato's room; I get the feeling that's most of the school :P]

"Heh... I gotta practice that more, then.." he kissed the tip of her nose, then her chin and jawline.

"Mm... Ah... 'S not the only thing I'd very much like you to... Practice..." a small groan rose from her throat when he got to one of the sensitive spots he knew very well.

"Oh..." he blushed a little. "Iah. What do you... what would you like me to do?" Okay, maybe he did want to ... well, whatever she wanted.

"What... Whatever you'd like to. Just... Please, continue... I've... Missed you so, so much..."

"I..." and he wanted so badly to keep kissing her, all over, but he drew a deep breath and stopped. "I don't have... y'know. Condoms. I'm not... I won't let that happen to you again."

"... Oh..." her face fell for just a second, then she smiled again. "There's other ways."

"Yeah... I know. I'm gonna - it's not that I don't want it. I'm gonna get them, but... well, I didn't think I was gonna need them," he explained hurriedly, blushing a little.

"... Yeah, I see why." blushing, too.

"But.. you're right.. there's other ways.." Would he be reminded of Genma.. meanwhile? He didn't think so, but the thought still made her frown as he looked at her thoughtfully.

"... What is it?" she asked, after noticing the frown.

"Ah... just stupid. I was.. uhm." He paused and swallowed, steeling himself as he reminded himself that he wanted to be open with her, now. "It still feels wrong to have. Y'know. Done it with someone else."

She sighed. "I know..." she muttered. "But... Done's done. But we can promise each other a fresh start without any of that, right?"

Minato looked down at her and sighed. "Well. I want to, but.. I don't think I can. I mean, I won't sleep with him again!" he hastened to reassure her. "Not ever! But - I can't just forget it or pretend it never happened... much as I'd like to. Like - like your exes. Y'know?"

She sighed, nodded. "Well... I'm only really asking promises for the future." a weak smile, again, and she kissed him ever so softly, tenderly, very much unlike her usual, fierce kisses.

"I can promise you..." he told her gently "- that as long as I've got you, I'll never need anyone else." And then he kissed her back in the same fashion, tangling his fingers in her hair and pressing her close to his chest.

With her this close, he'd feel how her breath got slightly unsteady as she fought back just a few tears. "... Thanks, 'Nato." she whispered against his soft lips.

"Nah... thank you for even looking my way. You're... you're the best girl in the world," he muttered, and then hid his face against her neck as he kissed the soft skin.

"Nah, 'M... 'M not. Not really. But you're the kindest, sweetest guy ever. And the little flaws only make you human and perfect in my eyes."

"Then you're perfect for me," he nipped at her throat with his lips, tasted her skin and felt her warmth. "And I still wanna marry you."

Her blush grew more pronounced, a small smile grazing her lips. "Sounds... Nice." C'mon. He'd seen her doodles way back when.

"And I'll keep asking until you say yes." Yeah, it was a little unfair, but his tongue sought out one of the special spots almost automatically. "So you might as well say yes right away."

"Ah...!" a sharp gasp, and she leant her head back. "I... I thought my sketchbook already... Gave you an... Idea."

"What.. oh." He grinned. "Ah.. but I want to hear you say it." Already, he was becoming drunk on the power he had over her, and nipped sharply at her skin.

"Y-yeah..." she breathed, eyes nearly fluttering close before she shook her head, looking him in the eyes. "I... I'd very much like to marry you one day, 'Nato."

Abruptly he stopped what he was doing, drew back and looked at her sharply. "Oh... uhm... really?" He swallowed nervously.
