"Are you sure you're comfortable? Maybe you should at least take the sash off, it looks pretty tight," I remarked, as I glanced at the purple sash around her midriff.

I love the way it accentuates the curves of her hips, but it's better to sleep in loose, comfortable clothing.

"Yeah, I guess so...it's not particularly uncomfortable or anything, but I know you're not supposed to go to sleep with tight clothes, so maybe I should," She nodded, before unwrapping the sash and pulling it off, neatly folding it up and setting it aside on the bedside table.

She then shuffled closer towards me, wrapping her arms around me as she snuggled up. I placed one hand on her head and the other around her waist, stroking her hair gently as I felt the warmth of her breath brushing my cheek.

"I love how pleasantly cozy this feels, this is the best," I smiled, as I kissed her forehead.

"Yeah, me too, this is really, really nice...but, um, I've been wondering something. Is this tough on you, sleeping with me without doing anything? Like, are you holding yourself back or anything?" She asked me with a look of concern on her face.

"Honestly, I thought that'd be the case at first, but it isn't. It isn't as though I don't feel a sense of temptation and desire sometimes, but I'm not struggling to hold back or anything.

I just feel comfortable and at ease, and moreover, there's my desire to never do anything to hurt you, so it isn't tough at all," I assured her.

I'm way too afraid of doing something that might make her hate me, but even with that fear, it hasn't been a struggle to hold myself back.

"I see, okay...that's kinda been on my mind for a few days, I know I'm being really clingy, which probably doesn't make it easy on you," She responded sheepishly.

"You say that like it's a bad thing. Cling to your heart's content," I replied, as I slid my hand down to her cheek and caressed it with my thumb.

"Careful, I just might take you up on that," She smiled, before pausing for a moment, staring at me with a hint of nervousness in her eyes, before adding, "Hey, um, you've got an eyelash on your eyelid. Here, let me get it off...close your eyes, I don't want to accidentally poke you."

Hm? She's acting kinda strange.

And my passive lie detection is going off slightly. Well, there's no chance she's upto anything malicious, so I'll play along.

I did as she asked and closed my eyes, feeling her hand on my cheek, a couple of seconds passing before I suddenly felt something soft press against my lips, lingering briefly.

Huh? Wait, was that...?

"Did you just-...?" I uttered as I opened my eyes, trailing off as her expression instantly answered my question, her face bright red.

"I, um...y-yeah," She nodded, averting her gaze as I stared at her.

I really wasn't expecting her to do that, she definitely caught me off-guard. My heart began to race as I processed what just happened...woah, I've never felt so flustered from a kiss before, my face feels warm too.

"I-...wow. That really surprised me, in the best way...but, is it really okay that your first kiss wasn't in a more memorable setting?" I asked her, feeling a bit worried that she put undue pressure on herself and did that impulsively.

"Don't worry, I didn't decide to do this without thinking it through. I felt like I was ready, and I went for it...and, well, I can't think of a better place or setting for my first kiss.

Right here in your arms, this is where I feel the most safe and comfortable...just relaxing at home in your arms, it's my favorite place, I have absolutely no regrets," She whispered, sounding nervous and a bit awkward, but without the smallest hint of hesitation, her face practically glowing red with how hard she was blushing.

She was struggling to meet my gaze, very visibly flustered. But I didn't sense any deceit in her response, she meant every word.

"That really means a lot to me, that you feel safe and comfortable with me," I smiled, placing my forehead against hers as I gently caressed her cheek.

"I really do, I know I can always be a hundred percent myself when I'm with you, and I cherish that. By the way, um...did I do okay? I didn't, like, suck at it or anything, did I?" She asked me nervously.

"Definitely not, it felt really nice. Have you been practicing or something?" I responded teasingly.

"H-Huh? Well, um...y-yeah, I looked up some instructional videos online a-and practiced on my hand...," She muttered, an embarrassed look on her face.

She's so cute, I can't handle it...

"I see. Well, I can assure you, your practice paid off," I replied with a smile.

"R-Really? You're not just saying that to spare my feelings?"

"No, I'm not. I can go into detail, if you want...the way you pressed your lips against mine was so tender and affec-...," I began.

"Th-That's okay, I believe you, y-you don't need to go into detail!" She cut me off in alarm, a wry smile spreading out across my lips.

"You sure?"

"Y-Yeah, I am," She nodded, before pausing for a moment, her gaze darting about slightly before she met my gaze and added, "I, um...could you...?"

"Yeah? What is it?" I prompted her with a smile.

She didn't say anything, staying quiet for a few seconds, before closing her eyes and tilting her head up as she parted her lips, my heart skipping a beat.

I gulped slightly, before reaching out and cupping her cheek. She tensed slightly, seeming startled, before relaxing and leaning into my touch, her face flushed.

I moved my face closer towards hers, my lips briefly hovering millimeters in front of hers, before I closed the gap and kissed her.

I slowly and tenderly caressed her lips between mine, before she followed my lead, matching my rhythm...
