Bwahaha, it's another snippet! Now, this one I've said is shoujo-ai, but nothing happens, and it's not actually... the pairings are actually straight.

Warnings: Lone cuss word, implied shoujo-ai, but nothing actually happens. Girly talk.

Enjoy!

Dragon Knights Snippets: Experience

"They're so cute together," Kitchel sighed dramatically, twirling a ribbon between her fingers.

"Oh, I know! – Pass," Kitchel placed the ribbon into Cesia's waiting hand, and the fortuneteller finished tying up the braid that now adorned Kitchel's hair.

"How far do you think they've gone?" Kitchel's voice was wonderingly curious. Cesia patted her hair once and sat down on her bed, watching Kitchel swing her legs back and forth as she sat on the edge of the balcony.

"I don't know. They seem like the shy type."

"Yeah, but they're so comfortable with each other that it probably means they've done a lot with each other," the thief said wisely.

"But they're not married," Cesia defended.

Kitchel raised her eyebrow as if wondering what the hell that had to do with it, "Ces, hun, they're soulmates, that's like- no, more than being married."

Cesia considered this and found that it made sense. Standing, she made her way to the other girl and looked below.

On a bench, swallowed in flowers, sat the faerie couple they'd been talking about. They were apparently admiring the flowers, as Tintlet pointed and giggled and Rune spoke.

"So, how far have you gone?"

Cesia was taken aback by Kitchel's sudden attack, but it wasn't the first time said girl had made slightly intrusive comments or questions. And not just to her, since Cesia didn't mind anymore, but there was no one in the castle who hadn't been the victim of one of Kitchel's embarrassing inquiries, much to the amusement of certain people (until it happened to them).

Cesia stammered a bit, blushing red enough to make the rubies hanging from her ears jealous, and fingered her hair nervously.

"Me and Thatz and done plenty," the smirk wasn't entirely comforting, but that may not have what Kitchel had been trying to accomplish in the first place.

"I'm sure you have."

Kitchel laughed and batted her hands dismissively, "So?"

Cesia shrugged, long dark hair falling off her shoulders, "Well, not much really… nothing past kissing-" Kitchel's eyes widened and the demon girl crossed her arms defensively, "Hey, we haven't been together all that long, and he's a moody guy. And shy."

Kitchel nodded knowingly, "That stinks. I don't know what it's like to have a guy like that, but I sympathize anyway."

Cesia sighed and flopped on the bed, "And I don't have any experience. That's actually the biggest problem, cause he doesn't have any either, and so it's… awkward."

Kitchel clapped her hands delightedly, "Aw, it's so cute! You guys are each other's firsts! Thatz and me didn't have that."

She winked, and suddenly Cesia felt very uncomfortable, like a bird nearing a sleeping cat whose mouth was open just enough to show the worm hanging between its teeth, and for the little bird to slip in. That, couple with the mischievous smile, made Cesia edge away slightly.

"But you know, we can remedy that."

"What?" She was curious, no denying that. Kitchel grinned widely in response.

"The experience problem, of course."

Cesia gaped, "I'm not cheating on Rath with another guy just to get experience! Besides, there's no guy I would even consider for this," Kitchel opened her mouth, "And I'm definitely not kissing Thatz."

The thief pouted, "Hey, he's not bad at all. And anyway, I wasn't suggesting him."

"Then who?"

"Me."

Cesia stared, blinked, and turned away, muttering something about hearing problems and insane people who caused them.

"Oh, come on, you've never done that either? This is what girl friends do, they practice on each other! You have no idea how many times me and Marine did this to get ready for our first dates. Even Delte asked me for help after she hooked up with Tetheus," Kitchel pointed out.

"So that's why you guys were suddenly spending all that time together!"

"Yeah, no duh. See, the greatest part is that it's a great way to get experience, and because it's with a friend, it doesn't matter at all."

Cesia looked a Kitchel dubiously, but the human girl could tell she was almost there, "C'mon, you're not cheating on him- I mean, we're not doing anything, and we're just friends, plus we're both girls, and you get my drift. It'll get rid of that awkward phase with Rath if you can do a little more than what you guys are doing right now," she wrinkled her nose, "Man, I don't know how you guys stand it. Just kissing? I'd be bored to death."

Cesia gave her friend a flat look and crossed her arms again, visibly hesitating, "Well… a-alright."

"Good!" Kitchel clapped her hands together. She leaned forward, tilting Cesia's head up, "We'll take it slow for now, but remember, tongue is natural, not weird."

OoO

"Thatz, have you seen Cesia?"

"Yo Rath. Yeah, I think she's in Kit's room, doing her hair or something. I'm heading there right now."

"Oh, I'll go with you then."

Later, they wished they'd never opened that door.

You know... I have friends who've actually done that. Kissing lessons (they were supposed to be doing math XD) I thought it was hilarious, and am only sad I missed it, cause it would have been sooo funny to watch. We had no experience back then, so that shoudl have been interesting... Anyway, see? It wasn't that bad.

Puppy: I don't know where the angsty side of Thatz came from, but I like writing it a lot. I think I like Thatz more than I let myself catch on, lol.

Kage: Kitchel's an interesting character, and she's fun to toy around with, lol.

Angstluver: School does suck.

Reviewer: Thanks!

Lost and Far Away: Scanlation is when you scana copy of the manga and translate the word bubbles into english, thereby pretty much having the manga online isntead of bying at a store. It's great for mangas that haven't come out yet, or those that have BAD publishing companies (looks at Tokyopop) Yup, they do DK, and personally, I think part of the reason it's such a hard series to understand is because they don't do all that good of a job translating. Viz is better. They don't stick at all the series they do though. I hope you kinda liked this one?

Dark-birdie: Yup, I need more of Thatz/Kitchel. Enthusiastic, are we? Lol.

Aquajogger:blush: Thank you:huggles: And I updated Possessed by a Memory yesterday, so that ones up too. Thatchel shrine, LOL! That's awesome! I want one... Wow, NY, I've never been there. That's awesome. 12 Hours... . eeeeek.

Old Fiat: Yeah, I'm sorry for making it seem like you have to read it or something. Who are Stacy and Clinton? O.O But Lykouleon on a game/tv show isn't a bad idea... :turning wheels: Your review somehow came through 3 times O.o

Alright, Thanks everyone! Next update at 183, and it's... hm, I'm not quite sure yet. I guess slight Rune/Rath and Thatz. Dunno. Wooopa... Til next time!
