"Are you kidding me?" Matsuri exclaimed, a smile going across her face as her eyebrows went up at the information Yuzu just admitted.

"Shh! SHH!" Yuzu jumped to silence her, panicky eyes darting around the room, but Matsuri was having none of it.

"You two have been dating for a month and haven't even kissed yet?" The volume of Matsuri's voice was going even higher, coupling with the utter mischief in her eyes was making Yuzu have a heart attack.

"Matsuri, for the love of god, shut up!"

"Whaaaat," Harumin's voice said from across the room in disbelief. Harumi made her way over, giving Matsuri a look of warning. "Stop giving her trouble, runt." She turned to Yuzu, face softening. "Seriously, though? Even with your lusty face?" Her evil amused smile was starting to match Matsuri's. "That's just unacceptable, Yuzuchi!"

Yuzu was covering her face, horrified. "You guys are so mean."

"On the contrary, Onee-chan, there's nothing I want more than for you to get laid!" Matsuri said, grabbing the blonde's hand. "If not by me, then it should be the person you're dating."

Harumi rolled her eyes at those words. "I'm just genuinely curious."

"We're just taking it slow," Yuzu muttered, brows furrowing. "... I think."

Harumi shook her head. "This won't do. Hey, president!" she hollered. Yuzu tried to bolt, but Matsuri's grip on her hand was surprisingly strong.

Mei, apparently ducking behind a wall nearby, appeared when prompted. "Yes?"

"You've been dating Yuzuchi for a month and haven't kissed her yet?"

"That is correct."

Yuzu gaped at Mei, surprised that the subject was so easily breached after so long of tip-toeing around it.

"You're an even bigger tease than I expected," Matsuri said in the form of praise.

Yuzu was fuming red from embarrassment, flailing her hands as if to reassure her girlfriend. "W-We don't have to! I mean, if you don't want to! I-it's not like I've been thinking about it! I'm totally fine with whatever!"

"I want to," Mei interrupted.

The suddenness of those words made Yuzu freeze, instantly going red. "Eh?"

"I want to kiss you."

"Ohhhhh," Harumi added unnecessarily, as if she was watching this unfold on television. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" she started chanting. Matsuri promptly joined her, even pushing Yuzu closer to Mei.

Yuzu floundered where she stood, torn between gaping at Mei in awe and yelling at her friends to quit it. Mei took it upon herself to close the rest of the distance between them, cupping Yuzu's cheeks. The blonde reacted instantly to her touch, looking up at Mei with wide eyes. Harumi and Matsuri hushed their chanting, watching with anticipation.

Mei leaned in, and Yuzu couldn't help closing her eyes, chest aching with how fast her heart raced. Mei's lips landed on her cheek in a chaste and quick kiss, making Yuzu's eyes fly open in surprise. Mei offered Yuzu a small apologetic smile. "If you don't mind, I'd like our first official kiss to be perfect."

Yuzu swallowed thickly, quickly nodding her head. "O-oh. Okay. Cool."

Matsuri looked the most disappointed of all. "Booo-" Harumi whapped the back of her head. "Ow!"

Mei gave the trio a stern look as she walked away. "Behave yourselves."

"Never-" This time Matsuri's protest was cut off by Yuzu quickly covering her mouth from behind. "Sure thing, Mei!" she said brightly. Then to Matsuri in a low voice as she started mercilessly ruffling her hair, "You're in so much trouble!"

"Not the hair!"
