A/N: AU; Krillin and 18 (Lazuli) are dating college students but aren't ready for the next stage in their relationship so they try something more tame.

Chapter 3: Baby Steps

"I told you that wasn't gonna work on me little man." a young blonde woman said.

"It works on Goku all the time." a man the same age responded.

"Well that's cause he sucks at this game, you're not gonna beat me by just spamming fireballs."

He exhaled in defeat.

"Want another beer?" The woman asked.

"Yeah, sure!" He responded.

These two, Krillin and Lazuli, were on a date. If you count drinking and playing video games all night a date. They had just finished the stressful mid-term week and were unwinding for the night. Since both of Lazuli's roommates were gone, a fun, inexpensive, and private night like this wasn't just what seemed logical. It was heavily needed.

Krillin took a big gulp of his fresh beer. "AHHH" He declared after his sip. "Hey, how did you do on your bio test?"

"It was pretty hard, not gonna lie. The professor is a such a jackass, he had stuff on the test that he didn't talk about in lectures." She answered him. "How did your psychology mid-term go?"

"Ehh, not bad I think. She gave us a review so I just studied that relentlessly."

"Nice, wanna go again?" Lazuli asked her boyfriend.

"Sure, but I need to think of a different strategy." He said

"Nah, I'll switch to a character I'm not as good with so it'll be more fair." That's what her initial thought was, but with her intelligent and intoxicated thinking she thought of a way to spice up the night.

And all she had to do was intentionally lose the next two games.

Player 2 WINS!

"Damn, you got me there."

Player 2 WINS!

"Close! See now basically it's even." She told him

"Yea, now it's a competition babe." He responded.

"So, care to make the rest of the games interesting?"

"Oh you're on, what did you have in mind?"

"Lose a game, lose an article of clothing."

That was a lot to process. He was taking this relationship slow because he really liked Lazuli and didn't want to ruin it. They've been dating for about four months now and they haven't even seen each other naked yet. The closest they got were swimsuits.

Krillin was glad she trusted him but he didn't know if they should jump the gun on sex yet.

What am I saying, it would just be us shedding clothing. That doesn't mean we would have to be intimate. Just a little eye candy. He thought to himself

"Alright, you're on. But you have to stay on that character." He demanded.

"Deal!" She said instantly.

Player 1 WINS!

"Now take off that shirt please." She told him politely.

"Alright don't get cocky." He said while taking his shirt off. Showing off his body.

He wasn't as muscular as his friends Goku or Vegeta, but you could tell he went to the gym. Lean shredded arms, decent sized pecs, and a low key six pack. Lazuli knew this was the appetizer but she was biting her lip already.

"Alright, hit start." He was ready for the next game.

Player 1 WINS!

I might have gotten swindled. He realized too late.

"Well you know what to do." She said waiting.

The short man stood up and took off his belt.

"Sorry, but that counts."

"Yea...yea I guess that does." that didn't matter, she wasn't gonna lose any time soon.

Player 1 WINS!

"So uh, you...lost those two games intentionally didn't you…"

So much for seeing her naked, I'm gonna be the only one taking anything off!

"I don't know what you're talking about." The woman with blue eyes said, cracking open another beer. "But I do know that those khakis need to go."

Krillin stood up and dragged his pants down to his ankles. The only thing left defending his dignity was a pair of boxer shorts.

She couldn't help but laugh at his situation.

"Ok you're laughing now, but wait until I go on this win streak!"

Player 1 WINS! Perfect!

Not only did he lose that final game, he didn't manage to hit Lazuli once that time.

"Uhh, all or nothing?" He asked in one final act of desperation.

"Nope."

Yeah, that wasn't gonna work. He thought. Welp, here I go.

The defeated college student stood up and removed his boxers, showing his girlfriend for the first time what's between his legs.

...

"Oh. My. God." She said in disbelief. A blush instantly creeping on her face.

"What?" He asked. Sitting back on the couch.

"How tall are you again?"

"5 foot even"

"And how long are you, hard?"

"Little over 8 inches."

"H-how?"

"Heh, heh, heh. You're the bio major, you tell me."

The combination of seeing her boyfriend naked for the first time and all the alcohol she consumed , made her hungry for his taste.

She pounced on Krillin and started to kiss him feverly.

Looks like I lost but still won! He thought.

He started to return the kisses.

Kissing is the farthest they've gotten, well that and boob touching. They've both been in relationships before, and the general conscientious was: Wait. There was no need to rush things. Waiting to have sex makes the relationship much healthier. And they both reallllllly wanted the relationship to last.

She pulled her lips away from his so she could tell him something.

"Let's do something!" She yelled in the heat of the moment.

"Like what?" The naked man asked.

"Sex."

"Woah...are you sure."

"Y-yes, no….I don't know. I want you, but I feel like if we do it too early we will fizzle out by the end of college."

"I know babe, I...I think we should wait longer. I'm sorry, but it's for the best." He pushed the loose strands of hair back behind her ear for her.

"Let's do something else." She said.

"Like what? You want to try oral?"

"Maybe."

"We could look up something on the internet. The biggest baby step into a sex life."

"Good idea for a drunk man!" She told him.

"Hey! I'm not drunk yet."

She got up to the other side of the room to grab her laptop then sat next to him again. She kept stealing glances at his crotch and he noticed.

"S-sorry. You can put your boxers back on." She told him.

"Ehh, I don't think so. I lost and I have to pay the consequences."

That was true, but this is also the first time he had ever seen her this flustered. He wanted to keep making her so.

Krillin waited for her to finish searching. The only things that could be heard in her apartment was the volume from the video game they never turned off, and the sound of her fingers tapping her keyboard.

"This one looks like a good first step." She said, announcing that her searching was over. "It's called mutual masturbation."

"I've never heard of it." Krillin said.

"Basically we would be masturbating to each other."

This sounded promising to them both, they would be able to embrace each other without it being overwhelming.

"We can do that." He told her.

"Yeah...let's do it." She smiled at him.

Before they could start the group masturbation method Lazuli had to undress.

Ok, this is no big deal. The thought before she stood up from the couch and started shedding clothing. Starting with her shirt and then her jeans disappeared shortly after.

She had undressed for men in the past, but she had never done it for someone she truly loved before. She was a tad nervous, what if Krillin didn't like something about her body? That wasn't an issue though.

Krillin was in awe. He couldn't comprehend how marvelous she looked.

She was standing there in her underwear, and looked at him. He looked like an idiot with his mouth open and he was drooling a little. But she loved it, the way he looked at her made her feel so important.

She hesitantly reached to unstrap her bra before Krillin stopped her.

"You don't have to if you don't want to babe." He told her lovingly.

"But I want to." She said, unstrapping the purple fabric from her skin. Exposing her b-cup bust. Before Krillin could shower her with compliments she removed the last article of clothing, a pair of black panties.

There she was in front of him, fully naked for the first time.

He walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek. "You're beautiful."

Lazuli returned the kiss as a form of thank you. She took him by the hand and led him to the couch and seated him on the left side while she sat on the right. The two of them were a little apprehensive to start masturbating in front of each other.

Krillin wanted his girlfriend to be comfortable so he decided to take the lead. He grabbed his wood that had been hard ever since Lazuli first started unclothing herself and started to pleasure himself.

The biology major started to blush at the sight of her boyfriend jerking off to her. For some reason the hungrily way he looked at her really turned her on.

"Be right back, don't stop."

She got up to go retrieve something. Krillin was a little saddened but did what he was told, seeing her naked back side made him feel a little better though.

She came back with a towel and placed it in between them but didn't say anything.

She noticed that Krillin listened to her and kept on going. The blonde wanted to just keep staring but it would be rude not to join him.

Without another passing moment she shifted two fingers inside of herself.

They both kept a steady pace, basking in each other's presence.

Krillin didn't know what to stare at, it was like her body was a buffet and he couldn't decide on what to eat.

Her breasts, her fingers, her legs, her beautiful face, he even wanted to stare at the tattoos she had on her body. Everything about her was so sexy.

"Lazuli, your body is flawless." He just had to say what he thought was the truth, he truly could not find any fault in it.

She didn't know how to respond, but she truly appreciated the comment. "Thanks..ah...yours isn't too bad either." And she meant that too. Yeah he was shorter than most guys but she didn't give a shit, he was still eye-candy.

If all she had to trade for the total package of a boyfriend was just some height, she considered that a bargain.

They didn't say much else, just continued to pleasure themselves. Enjoying each other's company was enough for now.

Until Lazuli wanted to tell him something. The thought these words would cause him to finish, she herself was close so he had to be ready to cum too by now.

"Krillin...I-ah, love you." She told him.

"Eighteen…" Is all he said, those words, that L word. It's something he didn't get to hear a lot in his upbringing. Those words inspired him to speed up his hand, envisioning a future with Lazuli.

Krillin felt his dick get red hot, his fluid quickly moving its way to his tip. Right before he fired into the towel he yelled, "I love you Lazuli!" Painting the fabric with his seed. Seeing her boyfriend cum that much while saying those words was enough for Lazuli herself. She hastened her appendages, fingering herself as fast as she ever has. "Ah-Ah-Ah," She moaned as she met her release.

Her secretion didn't stain the towel like Krillin's did, but some of it did discharge onto her half of the towel.

Krillin waited for her to catch her breath before he said anything.

"Thank you babe, that was a great idea."

"Glad you liked it, we should probably get dressed or go to my room. I don't know when my roommates will get home." She told him. "We could watch a movie or something."

"Yea that sounds good."

The young couple decided to just put on underwear and retire to Lazuli's bed.

This night was the first time they shared any sexual act with each other. Seeing how well it went they had no doubt in their mind it wouldn't be their last. It also solidified that the two of them practicing abstinence was a great idea, they were sure they were going to have a great future together.

A/N: That's it.

Wanted to try something different, let me know if you liked it.
