"Okay! Daichi is gathering the boys' test results, but in the meantime we'll be deciding nicknames for them all! Let's get started; Daichi Sawamura!" Aima says, pointing at the list of boys. "Mura-Senpai(Daichi), Suga-Senpai(Koshi), Azu-Senpai(Asahi), Noya-kun(Yu), Tana-kun(Ryu), Yama-kun(Tobio), Hina-kun(Shoyo) and Tsuki-kun(Kei)." I say as she goes through, marking their respective names. "No first names huh? Well, I suppose if you wanted to you could call them their first names when you're more familiar. This will do for now." Aima says, snapping a picture of the paper before texting it to someone, presumably Daichi. "Are you ready to start kissing some people?" Aima cheers, though I just shake my head fiddling with my fingers. "No." I mumble, Aima smiling as she reaches over, taking my hands. "Hey, it'll be alright. I've met all the guys, they're all wonderful people and they'll take really good care of you. You'll start with the three sweetest and slowest kissers, your Senpai, and then move on down the line, okay? You got this, if you want to stop, Me and Daichi are just out that door, just say the words and we'll come in and support you until you're ready again." Aima says.
"Besides, this is the control test; just a quick kiss, in and out, over before you know it. Next time it'll be dates, so it'll be easier since the boys will be setting the mood. By then you'll be in the groove; just remember to document the kisses as you go along." Aima says, squeezing my hands as I take a slow deep breath. "For mom." I whisper, closing my eyes tight before I exhale. "You got this, trooper! Take all the time you need to prepare, the boys will be ready in 10." Aima says, giving me a big smile while I return a reluctant one. "I'll be right outside that door if you need me. Whenever you're ready, let me know and I'll let the next guy in." Aima says, letting go of my hand and stepping outside, giving me time to prepare. It had been decided that the control kisses would take place in the dance studio, my comfort zone. Aima had forbidden me from dancing so I wouldn't get all sweaty, but the boys had just got done with practice. They would be coming in after they cleaned up the gym and had a quick rinse to freshen up. Misaki had already left for the day, though she had dressed me up and done my makeup, which Aima had sent her out on a quest for the other day.
A light knock sounded on the door, making me jump as I realized it was probably my clue that the boys had arrived. "One moment please!" I called, taking a deep breath and brushing my hair behind my ear. I could do this, the first kissers were sweet and slow, and if I couldn't find it I could always say no- but these were just the practice kisses. I set the clipboard I had been gripping onto on my lap, wiping my sweaty hands on my pants before giving myself a quick fan to cool down. "Okay! I'm ready!" I said, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. The door opened and I held that breath, slowly peeking out to see Daichi step in, leaving the door open. His hair was wet with water, a towel draped over his shoulders as he walked over. I let out my breath, bolting to my feet and running over to him. "Mura-Senpai! You need to dry your hair properly, or you're going to get sick!" I said, grabbing the towel from his neck and beginning to dry his hair out for him. Daichi chuckled, lowering his head for me so I could give it a proper towel dry. "You look nice, Suzuki-chan." Daichi says, making my cheeks burn as I slow down in drying his hair. "Thank you, Misaki dolled me up." I mumbled, pulling the towel away.
