Makoto inched closer as they walked, her knuckles skimming his. Taking the hint, his fingers drifted until they interlaced with hers. Leaning into him slightly, nervous energy tensed her body.

If done correctly, this could be perfect.

At her door, she wrapped long arms around his neck, swinging around to face him, and rose up on her toes. Nephrite leaned down to give her a chaste, sincere kiss. Hands on her hips prevented her when she would do more.

She bit her lip, stepping back.

He touched her face briefly, smiling his silent goodbye.

‘Not so perfect, but definitely right.’

Unable to stand the silence, she began blabbering. “Ami suggested I write a letter, when I told her I didn’t know how to tell you- . . . When I was writing, it sounded kind of . . . poetic, so I put it in poem form. I know it doesn’t rhyme-”

Nephrite finished reading and hooked his long fingers into her jeans. Jerking hard, he silenced her by making her stumble haphazardly towards him. Firmly grasping her hair near her scalp, he kissed her intently in response, letting the stationary with the pretty border drift softly to the ground.

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been so content. The black night surrounded him comfortably, flickering with stars that watched him back. His love lay beside him, shifting around to be closer. The night remained hushed with whispery breezes. If he listened hard enough, he could hear leaves scraping against concrete and rustling in branches. He pulled the blanket further up his chest and tightened his arm around the wriggling Makoto.

He sighed with satisfaction. “Is there anything better than this?”

She squirmed a bit more, not answering.

“Mako-chan?”

She looked at him guiltily.

“I really need to pee.”

Nephrite bumped his head again, setting his jaw and grimacing as he adjusted once more.

Facing him, bare arms around legs, chin resting on knees, Makoto chanced a half-smile, reached out to feed him a grape, and said, “Picnic for two, right?”

Hidden under the wooden table by a large, draping blanket, their friends’ self-invited chatter and activity buzzed around and above them, someone ‘outside’ occasionally tripping over protruding limbs and cursing in response. Nephrite’s shoulders slumped when he realized how she was trying. He held her hand in the cramped space and caressed her knuckles.

“Sometimes more,” he smiled.

Nephrite watched her twirl her loose hair from across the table. He leaned back and gazed downwards. Starting at her sexy, strapped sandals, he surveyed toned calves crossed in the epitome of femininity, the flirty, full skirt of her dress, and her expression of delight as she wrapped her pink lips around the straw submerged in yellow goodness – topped with whipped cream and a cherry.

Leaning forward with an inaudible, resigned groan, he took a sip of the dessert, smiling back at her through the taste and wondering why he’d had to choose the one who loved cheese ice cream.

Stubble could be enjoyable. The roughness tickled her sensitive skin, physical testosterone, hard against her softness. The sharp pricks rubbed her erotically, making her twitch spasmodically, making her tremble in his hands.

But, sometimes, she loved his silky cheeks.

They slowly nuzzle her thighs apart. They slide smooth, rubbing against her thighs, tongue extending to the most sensitive flesh Makoto has ever known.

She grips his hair, long limbs linking around him, not to be startled by little hard hairs, enjoying the orgasms his strong, wet tongue sends coursing through her body, lapping them up, one lick at a time.
