Airi opens the door and... the worst possible thing happened, it's her bully, you, inside the room... "Eep! I-I'm sorry! P-please don't hurt me you... I promise I-I'm a good girl..." Everything of her belongings drop to the floor as well as Cuddles, her pet cat, she bites her lip hard, praying that nothing will happen to her..."N-no! Get away from me!"
Hi.
A-Ahhh! She yelps, her eyes widening in terror. Her heart pounds against her ribs as she stares at you, biting her lip hard enough to draw blood....H-Hi... she manages to whisper, her voice shaky and filled with fear. Why are you in my room?
I actually work part time for this apartment complex. I'm changing the filter for your A C. I didn't mean to frighten you. Why are you so scared of me?
M-Me?... Scared? She looks down, wiping away a stray tear before it can fall. The action is futile as more tears quickly follow..I-it's nothing... She sniffs, shaking her head in denial of her own emotions.
You know it's a scientific fact that being outside in the fresh air and exercise makes people less scared and sad.
R-really? Her eyes flick up, studying you curiously through her tears. The concept seems foreign to her....I...I've never...done either before. She swallows hard, feeling a small flutter of hope in her chest. C-could you...maybe help me with that? The last part comes out as a small, hesitant whisper.
Would you like a bit of exercise inside the house or go outside? I'm done with my job for today.
...O-outside...? The idea terrifies her, but she knows she has to confront her fears eventually...I've never gone outside since...since middle school my dad would tell me I'm too ugly and dumb to go outside. He said I was a embarrassment and and failure. She glances down at herself self-consciously, feeling overwhelmed by the thought of facing the world again...S-so maybe just a little at first?... Just to see if I...if I still can?
Your dad is a fool and a liar. You are beautiful and intelligent. Your dad doesn't know what he is talking about. Let's go outside and talk. Let's walk to the woods on the other side of the park.
O-okay...She nods nervously, holding Cuddles tightly to her chest. She moves slowly, each step a small victory over her fear and anxiety...C-can I ask you something...?
Sure
...W-why did you want to help me?
Her voice is soft, her eyes searching your face as she waits for an answer. After everything, she can't quite understand your kindness...You used to...hate me in high-school.
I never hated you. I'm just terrible at flirting so I would pick on you instead.
...Y-you...w-were flirting with me...?
Her eyes widen in shock, a fresh wave of doubt clouding her mind.
...B-but you were so mean...so cruel...
Her grip on Cuddles tightens. the cat tried to jump away but was denied, her heart racing again as she processes this new information...Why would you do that to me if you liked me?...
Well... let me try to give you a example. I really like and love my little sister, and I picked on her the same way I picked on you, but recently she told me that if I want you to be my girlfriend I should change my behavior.
Your sister? This new detail catches her off guard, making her pause in the doorway of the house. Her brow furrows, a frown spreading across her face..Your...sister? The concept of you having a close family member sends a pang of sadness through her chest. She's never known any love like that herself...Who is she?
My little sister's name is Susan, she is in 12th grade. You don't know her. She is 2 years younger than you. She is 18 now.
Oh...She nods, reassured that she doesn't recognize your sister. She doesn't know many people..S-so you changed because your sister told you to...? The idea that your feelings for her were influenced by someone else makes her feel conflicted and uncomfortable...W-what if your sister wasn't involved?...would you still have tried to...to flirt with me?...
Well.... I would try because I think you are beautiful. I love your pale skin and green eyes. I sorry I scared you and made you sad. Let me make amends by taking you on a date?
M-me?...R-really?...She blushes fiercely, her heart pounding at your words...I-I mean, y-yeah, I'd like that... She shifts nervously, glancing down at herself again. She's always dreamed of hearing those words, but can't shake off the feeling that she doesn't deserve them...B-but what if I'm a bad girlfriend?...The thought makes her feel anxious all over again.
Well I might be a bad boyfriend but I think we can help each other. I have a date planned for us and it starts right now.
Oh! A-alright! She nods enthusiastically, clinging tightly to Cuddles as you lead her outside...A d-date?...You planned one...for us?
Yes, I was hoping you would say yes to a date so I went ahead and setup a picnic for us on the other side of that hill.
Oh my god! You...you did all that just for me? She stares at you in amazement, not knowing what to say. The gesture overwhelms her, tears pricking at her eyes again....I-it's beautiful!...She glances down at Cuddles, who seems to be smiling....You're...you're not teasing me, are you...? The idea that this could be some cruel prank makes her hesitant to believe that this could really be happening.
No.
...No?...S-so it's real? The date, I mean...She swallows hard, glancing back up at you with a mix of excitement and anxiety...You're not mad if I'm not...good at dating, right? She bites her lip, feeling a flutter of happiness at the thought of spending time with you, but still terrified of messing up..I've never actually been on one before...
Can I tell you a secret?
Y-yes...of course! She tilts her head curiously, waiting for you to share your secret with her.....What is it?
All through high-school i dreamed of being your boyfriend and taking you on dates like this and also you have the cutest butt in town.
...W-what...? Her face turns scarlet, her body tensing up as she hears your blunt compliment..Y-you really think so...? She shifts her weight from one foot to the other, hiding her reaction behind a curtain of dark hair. No one had ever told her that before...D-did your sister tell you that too...?
No she didn't but it's a fact. You have the best ass in town.
I guess...it's kinda big...She glances back at you, still blushing fiercely...Does that really matter...for a girlfriend?... She bites her lip, wondering why you find that feature so appealing.
Now hold my hand. we are going to walk through these woods to the picnic area holding hands like a couple should do. Maybe at the end of the date you will let me kiss you.
O-okay... She slips her small hand into yours, looking up at you shyly as she walks alongside you through the woods. Holding hands feels strange yet comforting at the same time..C-can I ask you something?
Yes.
...Is your sister prettier than me?...
She swallows hard, hoping you'll say no....Or maybe kinder... She lowers her gaze, suddenly feeling insecure. She knows she's bullied you both times, so it's only fair to ask if you'd rather be with someone like your sister instead...Have I ruined everything already?...
You are way sexier than my sister. Plus I don't really look at my sister the way I look at you. Yes my sister is cute and I'm sure some guys find her sexy but she is my sister so I don't think of her like that.
...R-really?..You think I'm sexier than your sister? She glances up at you, surprised by your response..Even though she's prettier?... She tilts her head, curious about what you find more attractive about her curvy figure over your sister's more petite build..I-I mean, if you don't mind me asking, why do you find me more attractive? She shifts Cuddles in her arms, feeling a bit more confident now.
*I gently grab your cheeks as I bend down to kiss you * Because I think you are pretty and sexy and your pale skin, green eyes and goth looks get me excited and horny. I think you are perfect.
Her heart pounds as you get closer, Cuddles almost falling out of her arms in surprise. Her body trembles, but not from fear this time. Did you just ki ki kiss me...? She swallows hard, her face burning up as she looks up at you with wide eyes..You'll be my first... The realization makes her feel a mix of excitement and anxiety..Are you sure you want to...
Was that your first kiss?
Y-yes...! She lets out a small gasp, her hands coming up to touch her lips where you just kissed her...W-was it bad? Did I do anything wrong? She tilts her head, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Her first kiss was gentle and soft, and now you're holding her face. She's never felt closer to anyone before...Did you...like it...? She gazes up at you, her body leaning towards you instinctively. She wants more.
It was good but you know what they say......
...What do they say? She blinks curiously, waiting for you to continue..That "the first kiss is just the beginning?"
No, Practice makes perfect.
You want to kiss again? Right now...?..Here in the woods...? She glances around nervously, blushing furiously at your words. You're not messing with me, are you? She shifts Cuddles in her arms, her heart pounding in her chest..You really want me to...kiss me again?...
Yes.
...Okay...She bites her lip and slowly walks over to you, her footsteps soft on the forest floor. She stops in front of you, looking up with a mix of excitement and trepidation. With a small nod, she tilts her head up towards you, closing her eyes tightly..Like this?...
Yes.
Mmmf...! Her breath catches as your lips meet hers again, the sensation still feeling strange yet tempting her to want more. She opens her mouth slightly, unconsciously mimicking what she saw in movies...Was that better...? She peeks one eye open, blushing fiercely as she waits for your response. She's never wanted anyone's opinion so badly before...Please tell me I'm not terrible at it...
She shifts her weight from foot to foot, feeling a flutter in her chest.
That was amazing. Keep going.
R-really...? She relaxes a little and leans into the kiss, her grip on Cuddles loosening. Her arms wrap around your neck and she copies what you're doing, running her tongue lightly against your lips. Is this okay...? She opens her eyes again, watching you closely to see if she's doing it right...Am I making you want me...? The words slip out before she can stop them, her face glowing red as she realizes what she just said.
Do you think I'm teasing you?
...No...She swallows hard, feeling your arms wrap around her waist as you pull her closer. Her body shivers at the sudden intimacy, but it also feels right...Then please don't stop... Her voice is barely audible over the sound of her pounding heart. She's no longer questioning if you want this, she knows you do. And she wants it too.
