A/N: Hi, thanks for stopping by! This is just a short story from Narumi's perspective, thinking back on what happened the first time she went over to Hirotaka's apartment. Hope you enjoy!

Narumi's P.O.V.

They had been dating for a while, but it oftentimes seemed like they were still just childhood friends. They really hadn't kissed too many times, and when they did it didn't feel right. Not that they didn't want to kiss each other; they did. Well, she thought they both wanted to kiss each other. Most of the time. Some of the time. She still wasn't actually quite sure. She definitely like Hirotaka (more than she cared to admit, actually), but she still wasn't sure about kissing him. She had thought about it before, imagined it several times, actually, but when his face was actually in front of her, she froze. She wasn't sure how to go about actually kissing him. I mean, it's not like I haven't kissed anyone before, but we've been friends for forever, so how are we supposed to suddenly switch over to dating mode? She was still surprised that he had even suggested going out in the first place, and had said it so casually at that. Then again, everything he does seems so casual. Hiro and his stubborn stoic face. I know what he's thinking about more than anyone, and even I have a hard time reading his face sometimes. She thought back to the first time she had been over to his apartment. She hadn't known at the time that their office co-workers would be coming over later. She had been sitting at his table in the living room, working herself up into an anxious fret (thinking about things that sometimes happen between two dating adults late at night), when he had walked into the room.

"Narumi. Do you want to shower?"

"Huh? Already?"

"Huh? You're sweaty, right? Here. Beer."

Narumi was already blushing as he handed the beer to her. Taking the beer and opening it to distract herself, she thought, Calm down! There's nothing to be afraid of. It's only Hirotaka, who's famous for no one being able to tell whether he's awake or sleeping with his eyes open! She almost grinned a little to herself at the memory, but the still present nerves wouldn't let her. He wouldn't try pulling a fast one. I know better than anyone that he doesn't have the guts...but her thoughts were cut off as Hirotaka leaned towards her, his arm snaking around her back. She looked up at him, only one eye visible through his glasses, the other being stubbornly blocked by a light glaring across the lens. How she wanted to remove those glasses to get a better look at those eyes...

He leaned closer, and her breath hitched in her throat. Does my breath smell okay? Wait, I just drank beer. But he smokes and drinks himself, so he shouldn't mind. Is he really going to do this? Is he really going to kiss me? What if it doesn't stop at just kissing?

Then a thought stopped all others. She leaned back against the cute plush pillow on the floor.

"Huh? Wait...Hiro..." I'm wearing beige underwear right now! I'm not ready for this! At least wait until I'm wearing cute underwear!

He leaned in even closer. His face was just inches away. A heavy blush spread across Narumi's face.

"Uh...wait..." she averted her eyes. "Let's do it on a day when it's pink…"

He reached behind her. "Here we go." As he leaned back, two Wii remotes in his hand, he gave her a confused look. "You wanted a pink one? I don't have any."

She was still leaned back against the pillow, Hirotaka slightly leaning above her, one arm on the table to support himself.

"You're going to play a game?" she asked confusedly, still trying to reconcile herself with what could have happened.

"You're not going to play?" he proffered a remote to her.

"I'll play."

Still blushing, she grabbed a remote from his hand and sat up. Crisis averted, she thought. So why am I feeling disappointed? I'm not even wearing the right underwear today..She faced forward, waiting for him to put in a game. Not that my underwear would impact our kissing, but..She sighed inwardly. I still have a long way to go.

A/N: Alright, so that's it for the first bit. Sorry about the end; I'm still working on writing proper endings. Reviews are always appreciated!
