"I wanna do it."
The words hung in the air briefly before their full effect set in.
"What?!?"
It had been a normal Saturday afternoon with Ryoki lounging on his bed flipping through the latest mock exam while Hatsumi lay at the foot of the bed reading a teen magazine. Then Ryo had to interrupt the comfortable silence with his declarative statement.
"I wanna do it."
"Now?"
Hatsumi was, understandably, mildly distressed and shocked about what her boyfriend of over a year about the subject of conversation had brought up. It wasn't just that she didn't feel ready, although sometimes she was sure she was, it was more of the fact that it would be awkward and messy and her body wasn't exactly something she wanted on display.
"No, not now. Unless you want to." His hopeful thought was struck down by the look of abject terror spreading across her countenance. "But someday. Soon. I want you Hatsumi and I know you want me so it's only natural that we do it."
She flushed with embarrassment at his words because she could neither deny them or fully accept them. But she did accept them. Just not right now.
"Not today." Was her simple reply. She wasn't ready yet.
"Not today." Someday. Soon. She would be completely and irreversibly his.
And Ryoki couldn't help but smirk at the thought.
