Buh, I guess I'm pretty popular with this one.

.and so, the three had plotted out their next voyage, hoping to discover something new, maybe get into some mischief, and be home before the sun disappeared from the sky of the red moon.
Of course, this wasn't a one-day trip; they were going to be gone for at least a week plus, for Vyse and Fina had things to confess, though, mainly Vyse. His parents were going to be thrilled, he thought. that or upset.
"Upset," he grunted. "What if they are?" he wondered. "What if they are what?" Fina asked, stepping up next to him at the helm.
Vyse grinned; people had a habit of walking up to him during his thinking moments.
"Oh, I was just thinking about how my parents are going to feel." He started. "Are you. worried that they wouldn't like the idea of us together?" she asked him, clutching her hands to her chest and staring at him innocently.
Vyse looked at her and couldn't help but release a small chuckle.
"Heh, no, nothing like that," he grinned. "I'm sure they'll be glad," he gave the wheel a quick spin, shifting the ship and turning it.
Fina just smiled and walked to look out along the side of the ship. Vyse couldn't help but admire her.
"Fina." he said, shaking his head, clearly amused. "Yes, Vyse?" she asked, turning on her heel. "I love you," he said, snickering.
Fina gave a small giggle.
"I love you, too," she uttered complacently.
She walked over to him and watched him curiously.
"Do you want to try?" He asked her, motioning to the helm. "Oh, me? I don't know." She said, frowning lightly. "It's easy, really." he said, stepping a bit to the side, "take a hold, I'll help you."
Fina stepped up, blinking quickly and giving a small blush.
"Like this?" She queried, placing her hands on it, slowly.
Vyse sighed and stepped behind her, her arms going about her.
"No no, like this," he began, shifting her hands. "Oh, I see now." she said, smiling as he held/guided her.
Vyse began by taking her around, showing her basic maneuvers and what not, eventually letting her try it out on her own.
After a while of her exploring the skies, she finally let him have his ship back, and she yawned off to her room, needing a nap after all that excitement.
"Speaking of nap." Vyse said, giving a small yawn himself, ".that doesn't sound like too bad of an idea."
Vyse walked away from the bridge, letting his Helmsman take over, and he walked into his room, sitting on the edge of the bed and sighing. He rubbed his eyes and heard a small creak. He looked to his doorway and there stood Fina. He looked at her with a pleasant smile.
"Hey." He said. "Hello." She said back. "What's up?" "Vyse, can I. sleep in here?"
Vyse looked at her a second, then looked down and pull off his boots, then focused on her again.
"If you want to." He said with a nervous laugh, scratching the back of his head.
Fina gave an embarrassed smile and sat down next to him, twiddling her fingers.
"I do." She uttered, still looking down. "Well, that's fine." He said, smiling. "Vyse?" She began, looking at him. "Yeah?"
Fina smiled weakly.
"I love you." She said, then hugged him. "Heh, I love you too, but why are you saying it now, just to say it?"
She nodded, her head on his shoulder, and gave another small smile. He grinned.
"Well, alright, whatever you say." He said, letting her pull away from him.
She nodded quickly and watched him lay down, doing so herself. She lay there and looked at his back, slowly moving in rhythm with his breathing, and giggled lightly.
Vyse turned to lie on his back and his head shifted to stare at her. He gave a small chuckle back and looked at her, a bit puzzled.
"What's so funny?" He asked her, smirking, and lying on his side, facing her. "You are." She giggled, a bit more loudly. "Am I?" he said, lifting a hand to the side of her face. "Yes." she sighed, leaning into his touch and shutting her eyes.
Vyse noticed her shut eyes and looked at her, somewhat differently. There was still something Vyse and Fina hadn't done. He continued to caress her face and slowly moved his head towards hers, shutting his eyes now. When his mouth pressed to hers, there was an instant shock between them both. At first, Fina opened her eyes to see Vyse's face before hers, his lips to hers, his body close to hers. everything about him was near her. For Vyse, when he started the kiss, and felt Fina give her small movement, he shivered slightly. Her lips were soft, a bit cool but still refreshing. At first, neither responded, they just lay there, lips touching, and Vyse's hand lay on Fina's face. Otherwise, there was no other contact.
The first to move was Fina; she gave a small whimper and shut her eyes again, her tongue moving about in her own mouth, curiously. She lifted an arm and let it fall on Vyse's side. Vyse responded by letting his hand fall off of her face and trail down her neck, along her shoulder and under her arm, down her body. His hand stopped just above her hip and stayed there, motionless.
Fina pulled her mouth away for a second and gasped, taking in a breath and releasing it on his face.
Vyse smiled at her blushed expression.
"That was certainly. interesting." Fina uttered, breathing hotly. "It's called a kiss." Vyse stated, matter-of-factly. "A k-kiss?" She stammered. "It's. an expression of love, I guess." Vyse said, a look of thought on him. "A kiss." Fina echoed, smiling a little. "I liked it." she said, grinning awkwardly. "Oh?" Vyse said, giving his own. "I-I'd like to try it again." She murmured, her face scarlet. "If you'd like." Vyse said, shaking his head a bit.
Fina nodded and pressed her lips to his again, giving an even louder whimper. Vyse chuckled to himself and thought he'd surprise her. His tongue pushed out and gave a small lick to her lips, splitting them somewhat.
When Fina felt his tongue invade her, she gave a slight gasp, one of both excitement and fear. Vyse gave a faint chuckle and continued with his experiment, his own hand now slowly rubbing her hip, but nothing more. Fina sighed against him and blushed deeper, imploring him to continue.
Vyse pulled away, leaving Fina shut-eyed and crimson-cheeked, and smiled, though his smile turned to shock as he heard someone clear their throat. He looked to the door and saw one of the crew members at the door, panting.
"C-Captain V-Vyse!" He breathed. "What is it?" Vyse answered. "There's someone here to see you." he sighed. "Oh? A visitor?" Vyse muttered, smirking and sitting up.
Vyse apologized to Fina and said he had to attend to something. She didn't mind, surprisingly. Vyse followed the shipmate to the bridge, and gasped, recognizing the all-too familiar face.
"Gilder!" He chuckled, shaking hands with his ally. "Hello there, Vyse. How have things been?"
Vyse chuckled and took him to the ship's meeting room, getting ready to tell him the past happenings.
