"Waits! Buttercups, I don'ts have a condoms," he said.
She sighed. "I don't have any, I'm not on the pill either," Buttercup said. "There's a convenience store just around the corner of my apartment block..."
"I'lls comes backs ass soons ass possibles!" Snake said, jumping off the bed.
He ran through the night, and sure enough he saw the sign "open 24 hours". Snake quickly grabbed some condoms, he did not know which type because there were so many.
When he presented it to the cashier, she raised an eyebrow. "Have a good night, sir," the cashier said, smirking.
...
"I'ms backs!" Snake said.
The sight that greeted him almost made his heart stop. Buttercup was completely naked now, her legs spread open invitingly.
"Hold on, your suit. It's soaked in sweat," she said, handing him a hanger. "You can hang it next to my dress."
He eagerly undressed and hung his clothes, fighting between the urge to jump Buttercup right that instant and the need to hang his fancy suit properly so it will not get damaged.
She upended the plastic bag filled with Snake's purchases on the bed. "Oh my, how many condoms did you plan on using tonight?" She asked playfully.
"I-I don'ts knows! It'ss mys firsts time buyings condomss so I justs grabbeds one ofs each," he said.
She inspected the condoms one by one. "Mmm I think we should go with the banana flavoured one," she said, giggling.
...
After a demonstration by Buttercup, Snake finally managed to put on the condom by himself. It was time for them to do the deed.
"Your penis goes here," she said, guiding him between her legs.
He slowly pushed his hips forward.
"Ungh! Stop," Buttercup said.
"Dids I hurts you?" Snake asked, concerned.
"Yeah," she said, wincing a little. "I've only ever used a vibrator."
"Maybe you're justs nervouss," he said. "We don'ts have to do its nows."
"Aww, you already ran all the way to the convenience store to buy all these condoms. It'll be a waste," Buttercup said. She looked at his condom-wrapped penis, it was already softening.
"For all your hard work, Snake, I think you deserve a reward," she said. Buttercup lowered her mouth, taking him in.
Snake gasped; even through the condom, he could feel her sucking him. He was slowly hardening now. With a growl, he pushed her on her back. They kissed desperately, moaning.
Snake trailed his kisses downwards. He avoided her nipples, teasing her. He kissed down her breasts, her belly, and finally between her legs. Buttercup felt her body was on fire, she could feel herself relaxing and moistening, her body readying itself.
"Now, please," she said.
He slid into her easily this time. "Yess," he hissed, rocking deeply.
...
They were completely tired. After several awkward attempts at changing sex positions, they decided the best position was Snake on top while Buttercup wrapped her legs around him.
They cuddled now, facing each other.
"Buttercups?" Snake said sleepily, his eyelids drooping.
"Mhmm?" She said.
"I love you," he said.
"What?" Buttercup asked but he was already snoring.
...
The next morning, Snake woke up. He was in an unfamiliar bed. Snake peeked at the trash bin next to the bed. A bright yellow used condom lay inside it. Banana flavoured, he remembered Buttercup giggling.
He also remembered her giving him a blow job. Events of last night flashed through his mind. Snake was struck by the realisation that he had told Buttercup he loved her.
He turned towards her sleeping form. Her face was peaceful, her chest rose up and down in deep, steady breaths. What if it was just a one night stand? She told him she really liked him but she did not say she loved him.
Or maybe it was too soon to tell? He always thought love came first, sex would come afterwards. Did all the lunch dates and flirty talk mean something? And then the way she had invited him to be her date... Snake really wished he knew.
He checked his phone, and there were multiple missed calls from his grandma. It was Saturday, thankfully he had no work today. But how was he supposed to explain to his grandma why he did not come home last night?
"Good morning," Buttercup said, yawning. She felt slightly sore but also pleasantly tingly.
"Mornings, Buttercups," he replied. Snake touched her face and she smiled at him. "You're my firsts, you knows thats, rights?" He asked.
"Yeah, I remember you telling me," she said.
"I wanteds mys firsts time to be... withs someone I love," he said. "I wants uss to be somethings more." Snake searched her face for an answer.
"You know we can't be in the same department after our relationship becomes known, right? I'll be transferring. That means someone else will be taking my current position," she said, kissing him on the cheek. "I love you too."
"W-what?" Snake asked, stunned.
Buttercup laughed. "I wanted to reply to you last night but you already fell asleep. Yes, let's become lovers," she said, hugging him.
...
He showered and dressed in last night's clothes, borrowing Buttercup's hairdryer to blow dry his hair. There was the smell of coffee, she had made a cup of coffee each for both of them.
"Mocha. The coffee I alwayss orders," Snake said, as he took a sip.
"Your favourite, I can tell," she said.
Buttercup was seated at the table, eating a bowl of cereal. "I prefer having a light breakfast. I can fry some eggs for you if you like?" she said.
"Cereal'ss fine," Snake said. Spotting some fruits on her kitchen tabletop, he asked, "Cans I have some ofs yours fruitss?"
"Go ahead," Buttercup replied.
Without thinking, he immediately reached out for a banana. He did not fancy apples and bananas were easy to peel and eat. Seeing him eat the banana, Buttercup blushed instantly.
"I enjoyed your banana last night," she said suggestively.
Snake choked on the banana he was eating. Buttercup laughed. God, she was killing him.
