AN: One of my favorites. :) Even if I'm extremely jealous of Usagi because she's able to kiss my Sei-chan. ;-;

First Kiss
They were unsure of how to go about this. Officially a couple, and neither of them having any experience other than their former lovers, they weren't used to the whole moving-to-the-next-level thing. Though they figured it would come naturally as it was in their previous relationships, they still couldn't help but feel awkward and anxious. Usagi sat next to the raven haired male, her fingers tracing and twisting the hem of her skirt as one of her legs continuously bounced up and back down. She watched her hands as they fidgeted about, almost on their own. Seiya sat back, his hands resting on the back of his head, leg propped up on the other, and lips pursed tightly as he stared at the ceiling. The blond looked at him from the corner of her eye before turning her attention back to her hands. Neither of them spoke, and the uncomfortable silence that had settled into the room five minutes ago was beginning to bug her.
She heard him inhale deeply before releasing the air in a long sigh. She felt the couch bounce a bit as he shifted himself, so that one of his legs was on the couch and he was facing her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and her movements stopped. She slowly turned her head, revealing a faint pink tint on her cheeks. Seiya smiled and pulled her close to him, burying his face in her potpourri-smelling golden hair. Her blush deepened at his action, but she scooted up onto his lap and rested her head against his shoulder. He chuckled softly, "I'm not exactly used to this. I mean, I was, but not with you."
Usagi nodded, fully understanding his situation. She had been with Mamoru since the Moon Kingdom existed and had been through every single life threatening battle with him…up until Galaxia that was. But with him, she was used to moving with him – even though they were a bit out of sync. He sighed before continuing, "So, I'm not exactly sure is we're supposed to talk about it – though, I'm pretty sure we're not."
At this Usagi giggled and Seiya took that as an agreement. He smiled and brushed his lips against her forehead, "But I do know that I don't want it to be like this. I don't want it to happen during a tense atmosphere. I want it to be unexpected, almost out of the blue. I want to surprise you. I don't want it to seem like an appointment."
Usagi pulled away from him, so that she was sitting upright and staring into his sapphire hues. Her eyebrows were furrowed together in confusion, "So…we're not going to do it now?"
Seiya shook his head and immediately the awkward atmosphere vanished. Usagi nodded – though, slightly disappointed. So for the remainder of the night, Usagi and Seiya sat on the couch; Seiya cradling the blond in his lap.
(A Few Weeks Later)
"Odango?"
Usagi snapped back into reality. Seiya frowned; lately she hadn't been acting like herself. If he came close to her, her body would tense. If he touched her, she'd become excited as if anticipating something. He didn't understand that she was waiting for his lips to be on hers. After receiving nothing for the second week, she stopped waiting and started to wonder if he even planned on kissing her. And after the third week, she stopped wondering and just forgot about it entirely. The raven haired male sighed and wrapped his arms around Usagi's waist. He pressed his forehead against hers and kissed her nose, "Odango, what's wrong?"
Usagi smiled and shook her head, "Nothing." And he could see that she wasn't lying – something he hadn't expected. But it was true; she didn't know what was wrong. She truly had forgotten about the kiss. Seiya kissed her nose again, "Are you sure?"
Usagi nodded and before she knew it, her face was trapped in between Seiya's hands. His face inches away from hers. The pounding of her heart blocked out every sound that was not her or Seiya's breathing. Heat rushed up to her cheeks and she saw Seiya's lips twitch upward into a smile.
"I love you, Odango. I always have and I always will." And his lips were upon hers before she had a moment to respond.
The warmth started slowly, beginning at her feet. But the deeper the kiss went, the more the fire in Usagi's body spread. Seiya gently caressed the blonde's cheek as he gently clutched her golden hair, pulling her closer to him. Usagi trembled in the pop star's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her heart nearly leaped out of her chest. Mamoru's kisses were never like this. They never made her crave more than she ought to. She felt Seiya begin to pull away, releasing his grip on her hair. She shook her head refusing to let go. He smiled and gently pried her grip on him.
The blond hissed softly, "It was about time you get to it and you cut it short."
Seiya chuckled, "That's what makes a first kiss so great. You can't give each other all they want; you have to leave them wanting more."
Usagi growled slightly, mumbling, "Tease."
He smiled and pulled her closer to him, brushing his lips against various spots on her face before claiming her lips again. She hissed once again when he pulled away. He chuckled, "I love you, Odango."
She sighed and smiled, "I love you too, Seiya."
AN: I wasn't sure if the theme was 'first kiss' as in a character's first kiss or 'first kiss' as a couple first kiss. So I just wrote it as if they were a couple and still hadn't had their first kiss. In this drabble, Seiya was previously with Kakyuu before he was relieved of his duties. :D
