[pencilpremonition]

[Becca's been putzing with her PDA, so when she opens the door to Shion's room, it's already on, at a weird angle, but her voice is clear.]

Hey Shion, so what are you pla--

...Shion?

[The PDA clatters to the floor and lands at an angle, propped up against the wall. It shows an empty room and Becca on her knees, holding an upgrade ring and a memory charm. The video cuts out as she bursts into sobs.]

Woah! [And Alex is successfully tugged back, laughing a bit. He kicks off his shoes so they don't get dirt on her bed. Even though he allows Becca to pull him back, he's bright red, but also smiling.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She nuzzles into him, cuddling close.]

I...don't know how I'm gonna cope, Alex... Shion was...was like having a brother again...

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex pets her hair,] y-you two w-were really c-close, then? [He knew that they were close, but never realized quite how close they had been.]

[pencilpremonition]

Between the two of you, you're my everything here. And now he's gone.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex thinks for a moment,] W-well, y-you still g-got me, and I ain't g-going anywhere. I-if I do, I'll find a w-way back.

[pencilpremonition]

You have to, Alex...you have to, I can't do this alone...

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[He nuzzles into her hair,] Th-then it's a p-promise.

[pencilpremonition]

And I'll always be here for you. I'll always be yours. I swear.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex goes redder, blushing to his ears. He slips his arm under her neck and pulls her close.] Always.

[pencilpremonition]

[The temptation to kiss him is SO STRONG. She hides her face against his shoulder.]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex rests his head against hers, stroking her hair. His heart was beating fast, and he almost felt lightheaded, but also a bit like the luckiest guy.]

[pencilpremonition]

I...really like you, Alex...

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex smiles, looking at her lovingly,] I-I really like you t-too, Becca. [He brushes back her hair and kisses her cheek]

[pencilpremonition]

[She gasps in surprise, but holds him a bit tighter.]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[He squeezes her back, stroking her face. He grows a bit more red,] y-you think? Y-you think I c-could k-kiss y-you?

[pencilpremonition]

Alex... I want to kiss you a lot. But we shouldn't...just push ahead like this... Not if you're not ready for it...

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex just leans over to her and kisses her gently on her lips.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She kisses him back eagerly, parting her lips just enough to make the invitation clear.]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex's heart skips, and he takes the invitation. He would never normally even be laying in bed with her, but thanks to the memory of his fear that Rakuen took from him, those nightmarish nights were far from his thoughts. All he was thinking about right now was Becca.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She shifts slightly, pressing herself against him more firmly and kissing him eagerly. Her touch is a bit clumsy from inexperience, but decidedly eager and accommodating.]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex, on the other hand, has a great deal more experience, but is gentle and guiding. He shifts too so that he can hold her close and lovingly against him.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She runs her tongue alongside his curiously, holding him close and pressing her body against his.]

Warning: there is kissing going on~ Figured we should warn people.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex slips his tongue under hers and pulls it up and back in a quick movement.]

Yes, goodness, people might be offended. XD Though it was kind of obvious where this was going.

[pencilpremonition]

[She moans into the kiss, rocking her hips forward against his as she follows his tongue forward and dips hers into his mouth.]

I thought I would be extra nice!

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

[Alex shivers and finally pulls away from the kiss with a smile. He was getting rather excited and knew that he would end up wanting to go further; he didn't want to spring that on Becca, going from 0 to 100.]

I... I-I love you.

[Alex puts his head down beside hers and makes a contented sigh, just hugging her.]
