"Hey, Murrue?"
The woman turned at the sound of the questioning voice, focusing her attention on the man sitting on her bed. "Yes?" she asked mildly, continuing to set out her uniform for the morning. When he didn't answer, she sighed, and set down the folded jacket she held in her arms. Brushing a lock of her dark hair behind her ear, she walked closer to where he sat. "What is it?" The man studied the lacy hem of her nightdress with a faint smile, and she blushed. "I-is that all you wanted?" she huffed, and turned to walk away. But before she could get too far, he suddenly reached out and caught hold of one of her wrists, pulling her back towards him. Murrue tried to protest, but before she could get a word out, she was brought close to him, and he wrapped his arms firmly around her waist.
"H-hey!" she stuttered, flushing red, and tried to wriggle out of his grasp. Mwu chuckled. "Actually, I wanted to ask you something. Nothing serious, I just wondered..who was your first kiss with?"
Murrue's amber eyes widened in surprise. "Why do you want to know something like that?" she asked, confused, and he grinned. "No real reason. I was just curious." As he spoke, he reached up to gently brush the tips of his fingers across her lips. She frowned for a moment, deep in thought, then she smiled. "It was in school. It sounds cliche, but it was at the prom. A guy from my science class asked me. It was a great night. I think..I wore a pink dress. And my date..." She gave Mwu a sweet smile. "He was a perfect gentleman..."
He raised an eyebrow, fingers lightly tickling her waist. "And is that meant to imply that I'm not?" At her giggle, he pouted, pretending to sulk. She ruffled his hair gently, and continued her story. "After the prom, he took me home, and he gave me a kiss goodnight at the gate. He had a bit too much cologne on, but otherwise, it was very nice." Looking down, Murrue was amused to see her lover scowling a little, and she leaned down to kiss his forehead. "Are you jealous? You were the one who asked..."
Mwu looked up at her, and smiled. He leaned forward and hugged her tightly, tickling her through the thin material of her nightdress. "Mwu! Stop that!" she managed to choke out through her laughter. Pushing at his shoulders, she squeaked in surprise as he fell backwards onto the bed, taking her with him. He was laughing too, still tickling her, and attempting to kiss her neck. But Murrue was able to wriggle free of his embrace, and sit up, despite his childish whines.
"Now, none of that," she scolded gently. "Besides, you haven't told me who your first kiss was with.."
Mwu shifted on the bed until his head was cradled in her lap, and beamed up at her, blue eyes twinkling at her sudden blush. "It was with a girl at school," he said thoughtfully, closing his eyes in contentment at the comforting feel of his 'pillow'. "She used to come watch the soccer practices after class. She always had her books with her. She was real pretty, with big green eyes and black hair. And real smart too. Wish I could remember her name. Why she chose me to kiss, I still don't know.." Opening his eyes again, he looked up at Murrue. Her amber gaze was focused on the floor beside the bed, lips pursed. Was she jealous?
"But ya know.." he continued, inwardly grinning when she looked back at him, "it wasn't all I expected."
"How come?" she asked, trying not to sound interested. He stretched out lazily on the bed, closing his eyes again. "It was..kinda wet.." At her giggle, he smiled. "I didn't know what all the fuss was about," he murmured. "I decided then that the next time I kissed someone...it would be someone I really loved." He opened his eyes to gaze up at her. "And it was.."
Murrue, bless her, blushed vivid scarlet, and glanced away. "S-stop being silly.." she said, her voice only a whisper, and he shook his head, reaching up to caress her cheek. "It's true.." His fingers moved across her beautiful face to curl around the back of her neck, and he tugged her gently downward for a kiss. She murmured in surprise for a moment, then relaxed into his embrace, twining her fingers in his hair.
"That better than your first kiss?" he asked after they broke for air, and she nodded. "Besides," he continued, catching her hand in his, "our first kiss is the only one that counted for me..."
