Chapter Six: Calm Before the Storm


Heliopolis, Morgenroete Factory Production Floor Eight, two months later


Ryu sighed as he looked over the production floor where the robotic assembly line was busy constructing a mobile suit frame. "Log Note 45c: Frame Construction for Project: Vidar is progressing smoothly," Ryu said, speaking into the recorder he had in hand. "Minor adjustments were made to the metal compound, added in some tungsten to help reinforce the frame. Projected time until completion… t-minus 23 hours, 45 minutes. End Log."

Kira walked in soon after he'd finished his recording. "How're you doing, Ryu?" she asked.

Ryu smiled at Kira as he set the recorder down and picked up a tablet. "Not too badly, the frames will be finished tomorrow," he informed. "I'll be getting started on the wiring after that…"

"That's good to hear," Kira replied, as she enfolded Ryu in a hug, though now that they were in such close proximity, Ryu could tell that Kira was slightly paler than normal.

"What's wrong?" he asked, brushing a hand along her cheek. "You look pale… Are you feeling alright?"

"A… a bit queasy…" Kira admitted. "Breakfast probably just didn't agree with me for some reason, but I do have an appointment with a doctor scheduled for later in the day, just to be safe."

Ryu nodded his understanding as he soothingly rubbed her back. "Good," he informed her in a whisper. "Don't want my boss sick in bed after all…"

"True…" Kira replied with a slight giggle. "Though, I was kind of hopeful you'd be willing and able to come with me… it'd make me feel more comfortable with it, I think…"

"Not a problem," Ryu informed with a nod, an easy smile on his face. "Like I said, the frames won't be completed until late tomorrow afternoon anyways."

Kira smiled back. "Thank you, Ryu," she said. "That means a lot to me." She then pulled him into a kiss.

"You mean a lot to me, Kira," Ryu informed when they separated. "Very much."

Kira smiled, simply nodding as she enjoyed the moment with her lover.


Heliopolis, Pilot Preparation School


Jade stifled a yawn as she listened to the instructor drone on about Mobile Armor Safety Protocols to the classroom she was in, staring absently towards him. 'I thought that Pilot Prep School would be more learning to fly, not being bored to death!' she cried to herself mentally, looking around at the other occupants in the room who seemed to be in a similar state to her. 'Doesn't help that I'm the youngest one here, either…'

Though, as she looked around, she realized that even though she was the youngest one in the room, it wasn't by much, as that black-haired boy she'd met when they arrived at Heliopolis, Shinn if she recalled correctly, was sitting a few seats away.

Shinn, himself, was also feeling bored. 'It doesn't matter where you go to school,' he thought. 'Lectures always seem more like a chance to catch up on sleep than anything else. It was that way back in Michigan, and it's that way at the Technical College, too.' He gave a brief sigh. 'The only difference is that Flay isn't here in the classroom to make it more bearable.'

He'd only first enrolled in Pilot Prep School a couple of months ago, having decided he wanted to do whatever he could to protect Flay, including possibly becoming a pilot in the Heliopolis Militia. He still went to his classes at the Tech College, if only so he could spend more time with Flay, but after the first couple of days at Pilot Prep School, he realized that being a pilot was what he wanted. Didn't mean he didn't hate the boring lectures, though.

Jade smirked as an idea popped into her head as she took some of the paper from her notebook and quickly and quietly folded it into a paper plane. Watching the instructor carefully, she waited until his back was turned before carefully aiming and throwing the paper plane, nailing Shinn in the back of his skull with it before ducking her head back to her notebook.

Shinn resisted the urge to yelp in pain from the impact, knowing he'd just draw attention to himself and get in trouble (it had happened a couple of times when he'd started going to that school in Virginia, before meeting Flay for the first time), but he did reach back and grab the offending object, sighing as he realized someone had thrown a paper airplane at him. A quick glance around the classroom didn't show who had done it, though there were quite a few quietly giggling about it. However, his gaze shifted upward slightly, and he grinned as another idea came to him… unfolding the paper airplane until it was a flat sheet of paper again, he began rolling it up into a cone shape, making sure the roll was as tight as possible, and taping it together once he'd finished. As the teacher was currently writing something on the blackboard, Shinn took careful aim, before using all of his strength as a Coordinator to hurl the impromptu missile at a light fixture in the ceiling.

Normally, paper wouldn't do much to light fixtures. However, at the speed at which Shinn had thrown it, the paper missile hit the fluorescent light bulbs with enough force to shatter them. Now, he'd chosen that particular light fixture for two reasons. One, it wasn't over any desks, so there was no risk of injuring anyone.

And two, he'd actually seen the results of that particular fixture burning out before, so he was the only one not surprised that the room was plunged into blackness, the only light coming from the door out into the corridor.

Jade rose an eyebrow from Shinn's response, wondering just what he was planning on doing, her hands occupied as she prepared another paper projectile under her desk.

Shinn mentally grinned, feigning the same shock the rest of the class was feeling as the professor, after searching in vain for whoever had thrown the light shattering projectile, tried to go back to his board, only to find that he couldn't see well enough to write on the board with just the light coming from the corridors. After a few moments, the professor sighed and said, "Well, as much as I'd like to continue, I can't really do much with the lights down like they are. We'll resume from this point tomorrow, after the technicians have gotten the lights back up."

'Huh… wasn't expecting that…' Jade thought to herself. 'Hmm… can I turn this to my advantage?'

As the students all filed out, now free until whenever their next class was, Shinn made his way to the main lounge, sitting down after getting a snack bar from the vending machines. 'Definitely pays to know just which light to take out in order to bring them all down,' he thought. 'Means you can cut the most boring lectures short before things get nasty.'

Jade, who had gone to the lounge as well, mused for a minute before taking a new paper and jotted a quick note on it before folding the paper into a plane and tossed it to Shinn once again.

This time Shinn saw the plane coming, and managed to snatch it out of the air. Noticing a little bit of writing on it, he unfolded it to see the entire note.

'Nice work getting us out of there, Fly-Boy.'

He smiled slightly, and wrote his own note on the paper before refolding it and sending it back to her.

Jade was able to snatch it out of the air, and opened it to read his reply.

'When people start throwing projectiles at each other out of boredom, all-out fights tend not to be far behind unless someone can end class early. Knowing which light fixtures to take out to kill all the lights in a room helps in said ending of class.'

Shinn was met with another reply.

'Fair point, but I mostly did it to bug you.'

Shinn sighed as he wrote his next reply before sending it back.

'May I ask why?'

A page came back to him.

'Curious to see how you would react, you can learn a lot about a person from their reactions to minor annoyances.'

Shinn noded slightly, before writing out his reply.

'Fair enough, though when we're in class I'd appreciate it if you kept stuff like that to a minimum - otherwise you could get yourself or someone else in trouble.'

A note came to him shortly.

'Fine, fine, actually, I'm kinda surprised you didn't notice me in class, although I think you were more occupied with a certain red-haired girl when we met.'

Shinn blushed, then realized what she was talking about.

'Wait a minute, you were one of the two who came to Heliopolis at the same time Flay did… Jade, right?'

He could almost hear a giggle when he sent his reply off. "Right in one, fly-boy," a voice informed behind him.

Shinn almost leapt out of his skin as he swiveled around in shock, seeing Jade standing before him. "What the - how did you do that?!" he asked, holding a hand to his chest as he tried to get his breathing and heartbeat back under control.

Jade giggled as she dropped into a seat next to him, a grin on her face. "My dad was in command of the EA Intelligence division and my brother is 'unofficially' well known for doing black ops contracts, take a guess."

Shinn sighed. "A family of ninjas…" he muttered under his breath. "Great…" At normal volume, he asked. "Anyway, do you actually like almost giving people heart attacks like that?"

"Yup~" Jade announced proudly. "I like seeing all the funny faces a person makes when they realize someone is right behind them."

Shinn sighed again. "Just be thankful you likely haven't done that to someone of frail constitution yet," he muttered. "They might actually have a heart attack if you startle them like that!" He then paused for a moment. "Out of curiosity, may I ask why you decided to enroll in Pilot Prep School?"

"I love flying," Jade informed with a wide smile. "Ryu-nii would take me flying whenever it was possible, the adrenaline rush you get when the boosters are engaged, it's even better when you hit the afterburners… the rush you get is amazing…"

Shinn chuckled. "I take it you're a bit of an Adrenaline Junkie?" he asked. "Nothing wrong with that, if you are, it just puts things a bit more in perspective."

Jade shrugged. "Ma told me it runs in the family," she informed. "I can see it in Ryu-nii, him being a merc and all that, I don't think Jinn inherited it though."

"I see," Shinn replied. "Well, being a pilot would definitely suit you, then."

"Yup, can't wait until we get to actually fly something," she said eagerly. "The F-7D Spearhead may be a bit outdated, but it's still a solid jet fighter."

Shinn nodded. "Agreed," he said, "but honestly? As long as I'm able to keep Flay safe, it doesn't matter what I'm piloting. I care about her a lot, and I won't let anything happen to her."


Doctor's Office


Kira let out a small sigh as she leaned into Ryu, whose arm was resting comfortingly around her shoulder, the doctor had just finished the test and was checking the results.

"You feeling alright, Kira?" Ryu asked in concern.

"Well, not quite as queasy as this morning," she admitted. "I am a bit nervous, though. I'm hopeful that it's not anything bad."

"I'm certain that there's nothing wrong with you," Ryu soothed as he gave her a tight hug. "Everything will be fine, Kira…"

"Thanks, Ryu…" Kira whispered.

They both looked up as the door opened up and the doctor walked in. "We have your test results here, Miss Yamato," he informed the pair. "Congratulations, you're pregnant."

There was dead silence for a few moments. You could have heard a pin drop. "P… pregnant?" Kira asked, her eyes wide in shock. "So… that queasiness I was feeling this morning…"

"Morning sickness," the doctor confirmed with a nod. "You are about two months into the pregnancy so I am not surprised that you're experiencing morning sickness."

She took a look at Ryu. It was pretty obvious to her who the father was, and from the look in Ryu's eyes, he knew, too. "We… we're going to be parents…" she whispered.

"Uhh, wow… talk about surprising news…" Ryu breathed out, rubbing his eyes. "I take it… you want to keep it?"

"Y… yeah…" Kira replied. "It may have been unplanned, and we may be in the middle of a war… but I don't want to end a life before it even has a chance to live, especially since it's me bringing that life into the world…"

Ryu smiled comfortingly as he hugged her close. "I'll support you no matter what happens, Kira," he informed. "Heaven or high hell, I'll be there."

Kira smiled as she returned the embrace. "Thank you, Ryu," she said. A few moments of silence passed, as the Doctor had secretly left the room to give them some alone time, before Kira continued, "I know usually it's the male of a couple who asks this, and I don't even have a ring, but… Ryu Hisanaga, will you marry me?"

Ryu chuckled. "Well, we are a rather unconventional couple," he informed, kissing her behind her ear. "Yes, I will marry you, Kira Yamato…"

Kira smiled happily. "Thank you, Ryu…" she whispered, before kissing him passionately.


Heliopolis Technical University


Jinn frowned in contemplation as he looked at the formula displayed on his computer. 'This is similar to the one that Ryu is using for the metal compound for the units he's building, doesn't have the tungsten added in,' he thought to himself with a raised eyebrow before answering the equation. 'Curious…'

He glanced over next to him where Flay was working on a computer. "How are you doing, Flay?" he asked.

"Doing fine," she replied. "Missing Shinn, but that's often the case whenever he's over at Pilot Prep School." She paused a moment, typing something out on her computer, before sighing. "This particular assignment for Kato's class is eluding me, though - it just seems like what he's asking for is impossible for anyone to come up with, even Coordinators!"

"A=34.281," Jinn informed, getting a shocked look from Flay. "It's a formula used for energy transference in beam weaponry."

"Th… thanks, Jinn," Flay said. "But that raises two questions: First, how did you know that so readily, and second, much more importantly, just what the hell does Kato have us working on in the lab?"

"To the first, I have minor Autism, math equations help me keep attentive to the world, my medication also helps much with that," he informed. "To the second, it seems like the professor is desperately trying to find the answers to important equations for mobile suit operating systems."

Flay paused for a few moments to take in both pieces of information. "Thank you for sharing about your Autism," she said. "I'd heard about it in books, but never seen anyone with it before now. As for Professor Kato… that does make a certain amount of sense… do you think he might be helping design Mobile Suits for Orb?"

"He is most likely assisting the EA with their G-Weapon Project while sharing the data with one of the Houses of ORB, most likely the Sahaku family."

Flay nodded slightly. "I see…" she said. "That does make sense, and I do remember overhearing him talking to one of his friends about a contract being worked on with Morgenroete a few days before he hit me, that was probably the G-Weapon Project."

"That would be the most logical explanation," he informed curtly. "I think some of this is based off of the little amount of data brother shared with Morgenroete."

"Hmm…" Flay mused, thinking things over. "Well, along with turning in the correct numbers, because I'd imagine these will be graded, G-Project or not, perhaps we could share what we've been able to figure out with your brother, see what he makes of the information?"

"He would appreciate it," Jinn replied, his eyes glancing to the equation Flay was working on. "You forgot to subtract the four."

"Oh, right," Flay replied, making the correction to the numbers on the screen, and indeed, the answer did seem to fit better for that equation.

Her mind was drifting a bit, though, for two reasons. First, the revelation about their inadvertent role in the G-Project, meaning that the home Takeshi and Linda had picked for her wasn't quite as safe as any of them had believed.

The other reason was that after classes were over, she was going to meet Shinn, and finish the last step of packing up and moving her stuff. The two of them had been dating for two months now, and had decided to save a bit on costs by moving in together, and had decided through a coin flip that Flay would be the one to move into Shinn's apartment.

She was hopeful that in the upcoming night, she might be able to take her relationship with Shinn up a level, as well…


Aprilius One, PLANT Supreme Council


"So have we received any information on this 'Right Hand of Vengeance' group that attacked the funeral?" Siegel Clyne, the Supreme Chairman of the Council, asked the assorted Councillors. "How has the Earth Alliance been responding?"

"One word, chaos," one of the Councillors replied. "So many of their leaders were killed at once, the Atlantic Federation has pretty much descended into anarchy."

"Well, I doubt they would have responded with a Mariachi Band Concert," another Councillor remarked, before a small round of chuckles went around the room.

"We need to press this advantage!" Patrick Zala shouted out, cutting the general mirth of the room short. "We need to strike at the EA now while they are confused!"

"That might not be the most prudent decision at this moment," A third councilman noted.

"What do you mean?" Zala asked, looking over to the councillor. "How would it not be an advantage to us?"

The councilman gave a calculative glance at Chairman Zala. Then he sighed. "We are standing at a crossroads here. From a military standpoint, our enemy just lost their leadership and is now the proverbial chicken without a head, which would make this the perfect time to strike." He then looked around the council table. "However, this will not solve our long term problems. We need to deal with the root of the issue. We are forgetting that we are not dealing with a chicken, but a Hydra. Getting rid of the hardliners and that ingrate Azrael was only part of the solution. We need to now hit them hard. Not through military might, but by appealing to the rational thoughts of the populace. Basically, we need to ensure that to the people of the Earth Alliance, this war was nothing more than a power play by radicals and a way to sate the greed of the arms industries that supplied the Earth Forces with weaponry. We need to make them see that their mothers, brothers, sons, daughters, sisters, and fathers died so that people like Muruta Azrael's stocks would go up. Even if this is not true, it would be enough to break the power base of the Earth Alliance."

"A victory based upon morals rather than military might," Siegel said musingly, rubbing his chin in contemplation. "How would we accomplish this?"

The Councillor smirked. "We need to find evidence that corroborates this hypothesis. To be honest, after going over it in my mind, all of what I just said makes a lot of sense. All of the warmongers on the Earth Alliance high command were in the pocket of Muruta Azrael, who just so happened to be not only the leader of Blue Cosmos, but also the largest armament conglomeration in the Atlantic Federation. The man literally was a merchant of death. It shouldn't be hard to find some evidence that Azrael thought of his people as nothing but sheep to follow the herd and be slaughtered. We find that evidence, we win this war. Hell, it would only add to our victory if we were to find some sort of evidence pertaining to a secret society of industrialists and executives that were actually running the show from the background." (Somewhere, a blue haired fruit cup sneezes.)

Siegel looked over to Patrick, who was contemplating the councillor's advice with a serious expression. "It will take some time, but it will minimize casualties," Patrick said finally. "I can have Special Operations raid known Blue Cosmos safe houses and some of our intelligence operatives search through Azrael's company."

"We should also consider making Bruno Azrael a priority target for capture and interrogation. If anyone could tell us the link between Muruta and a possible shadow organization, it would be his cousin Bruno."

"Make this happen, Patrick," Siegel ordered. "If we can finish this war with minimal casualties, I want to make it happen, perhaps we could also start relief program for countries affected by the N-Jammers as well?"

The councillor interjected. "We must be cautious in how we aid these countries. Image is very important right now and we do not want our operation to be possibly interpreted as the action of invaders and conquerors."

"Of course not, I'm just saying we can do things like donate power generators and food," Siegel informed. "Not send in our relief forces, doing so at this time would be more harmful than helpful."

"Of course, Your Excellency."

"Is there any other business that needs to be attended to?" Siegel asked, looking around the room to be met with various head shakes. "Alright then, this meeting is now adjourned, have a good day ladies and gentleman."


Morgenroete Factory Production Floor


"For the last damn time Erica, I am NOT naming it the 'Thor'!"

"Well I don't hear you coming up with any brilliant names for it, 'McMuffin' really?" Erica asked skeptically over the video link.

Ethan rolled his eyes. "I was joking about that. And besides, everyone and their mother would use 'Thor.' It's unimaginative. The Earth Forces will always use some Nordic/German name for everything and ZAFT almost always uses something Latin. I want something different."

"Colibri?" Erica suggested. "It's Gaelic."

Ethan looked thoughtful at that. "Maybe, but I also want a name that would complement my moniker of being the Flying Thunder God." He then paused. "And don't you dare use Raijin."

"Hmm…" Erica mused for a bit, before developing a bit of a grin. "What about Hiraishin?" she asked.

"Hmm… Interesting thought. Unfortunately, my Patriot is called the Hiraishin Custom. So that's already taken."

"Why are you so…" Erica stopped her rant and looked down at something she was reading previously. "How about Indra?"

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Indra? The Indian god of Rain and Thunderstorms?" He placed a hand on his chin. "That could work." He then smiled. "Yeah, that could definitely work!"

Erica nodded as she wrote something down on her own computer. "Well, we got the interior skeleton for the unit finished," she informed. "Used some of the data from the G-Weapon project to get it right, but it should be good for the unit you have planned."

"Nice. I was thinking of having a long bladed beam lance connected by wire to my suit. It could also be used as an anti-ship sword when we figure out the Armure Lumiere shell."

"True," Erica agreed. "We'll do the best we can with it, might not be exactly what you want however…"

"We'll worry about that at a later time, darlin'. Right now, you have to worry about the rats in our midst."

"I hired Fenrir to weed them out while he's working on the units for his Corps," Erica informed. "Plus, the G-Project is more worried about results right now than sabotage, especially after what happened to the Blue Cosmos big wigs."

Ethan chuckled. "I owe Ryu and Hughes a drink for that. Ryuzaki was a good man. And my family and a whole load of people on Junius Seven were good people too. I'm glad that justice was served. Would've done it myself if the Dragon didn't do it first."

"I had no doubt the Dragon would have done it," Erica informed seriously. "Think of him like this, Ethan, he is Ryuzaki on steroids when it comes to commando work."

Ethan snorted. "So he's basically like me, huh? Just hope he doesn't decide to perform a kidney transplant with a balisong like his old man tried to do to me." Ethan sighed and looked at the machine behind him. "Having these machines here is just asking for fuckface to jump the gun and start trouble if he is the one to find out about it."

"Ryu is not as… twitchy as his father," Erica informed. "That being said… he'd be more likely to snipe you using ice bullets than to gut you."

"A real Simo Hayha, that kid is." Ethan smirked. "Of course, he could try. But I'm not stupid enough to stay out in the range of any sniper. Ryu may be a crack shot, but I'm just too fast for him."

He then became serious. "Unfortunately, we need to plug the leaks and soon. ZAFT has been poking around. If they find out about the G-Weapons, depending on the one who receives the info, we could be in for a rough ride. Especially if that fuck face is the one to find out."

"Rau is a dangerous one, but…" Erica trailed off, chewing her lip slightly. "Tell me, do you know the name Victor Amsel?"

"Yes. Yes I do. Great close combat pilot. I know he was assigned to the masked menace and they eventually had a falling out. Not sure of all the details, but all I know is that like me, Amsel ended up on the wrong side of Patrick Zala." Ethan remarked, reminiscing. "I know he received the boot. Such a shame. I was the one to recommend him for redcoat."

"Well, he's on the Colony with Ryu," she informed. "Between the two of them and their new 'captain' I would be more worried for the ZAFT forces, after all, you have an Anti-Unit Specialist and an Anti-Army specialist working side by side… "

"Moreau right? If I recall, that guy could fly a ship through the eye of a needle and come out intact." Ethan remarked, clearly impressed with the personal choice.

"That's their pilot," Erica informed. "Ryu has been classified as 'Anti-Army', the captain of the Ship, Kira Yamato, doesn't have a designation yet, she's still considered to be an all around pilot."

"Amsel is a close combat specialist, so it looks like they are missing their hit and run veteran."

"Yeah, you know that list that the EA released for the wanted Commandos who have deserted?"

"Course I do. I helped bail some of them out pro bono after Ryuzaki was killed," Ethan snorted.

"Well, I've been getting rumours that they've been spotted around Fenrir's ship, one or two here and there, but nothing confirmed," she informed, sending him a meaningful look.

Ethan deadpanned. "You really care about those kids don't you? Fine, I'll ask them if I can join up. Was planning to do it anyway. Going solo is starting to wear me down."

"It's not them I was worried about, not completely, anyways," she informed. "You can't keep eyes on your own back Ethan."

The seventeen year old chuckled. "I'm touched, Erica." He closed his eyes as his smirk grew foxlike. "Although I'm worried about you, darlin'. When are you gonna find yourself a man to get shacked up with?"

Erica raised an eyebrow. "You do remember that I have a son right?" she reminded. "And that he doesn't like you very much…"

"I wasn't talking about me, darlin', as flattering as that might be. And I know your son doesn't like me very much. He made that abundantly clear." Ethan sighed. "Sides', you're a beautiful woman and all, but you're not my type."

Erica rolled her eyes in response. "His name is Noneofya Buisness," she informed with a look. "Now leave me alone, unlike you I have work to do."

He chuckled. "Alright, alright. But you can't blame me for caring." He then gave her a sad look. "I owe you way too much for looking out for me as you have. It's been hard being on the run from my own people and nation. It was especially hard leaving her behind."

"You'll move on eventually," she replied. "It hurts, but it's survivable."

"Yeah." Ethan looked down. Then he heard a large crash. "Hold on Erica."

He turned around to see the Trikeros shield on the floor. "HAMANA! Be careful with that!"

"Sorry boss!"

Ethan rolled his eyes and turn back to the screen.

"Nothing like working with newbies, huh?" Erica asked with a smirk. "Better go keep an eye on them, I'll talk with you when we hit the next phase in construction."

Ethan huffed. "Talk with you then." He turned off the video monitor and turned around, looking quite cross. "Hamana, what did I tell you about handling the crane?"

The worker in question looked quite sheepish. "It wasn't my fault! Myers fired a rubber band at me!"

"A rubber band? You drop a volatile, expensive piece of equipment because someone hit you with a rubber band? What are you, ten? Grow up! Both of you! You're older than me! ACT LIKE IT!"

In the background a female tech sighed as she palmed her face. 'Dear god, I worry for the future of our project with workers like them!' she cried to herself mentally.


Heliopolis, Shinn Asuka's Apartment


Flay set down the last box with a grunt. It had taken a while, but they'd finally managed to get all of Flay's belongings from her apartment into Shinn's. "Well, that's the last of it," she said to Shinn, who was currently leaning against another box. "As of now, we're now officially roommates. Thanks for agreeing to let me move in with you, Shinn."

Shinn smiled in response. "Of course, why wouldn't I agree?" he asked skeptically. "It'll be just like back at school."

Flay giggled. "Well, not exactly like back in school," she remarked. "We didn't really… hook up… until about a month or so before you had to leave…"

Shinn chuckled. "Well, I'm glad we did hook up," he informed as he gently held her in his arms. "I'm so glad that we met, Flay."

Flay nodded with a smile. "Yeah," she said. "I am, too. I… I love you so much, Shinn…"

She then proceeded to pull him closer to her, their lips crashing together in a passionate kiss.

***Lemons Ahoy***

Shinn paused for a minute, before his own arms tightened around her as he kissed her back. As they kissed, his hands slowly dropped down to her rear and slowly began to massage it.

Flay moaned into the kiss, gently pushing Shinn through the apartment until they reached his bedroom. Once they were there, she parted from the kiss and whispered, "Shinn… I want you…"

"Flay…" Shinn breathed out, his face flushed. "I want you, too, but are you sure about this?"

"I am," she replied, cheeks flushed with arousal. "I… I want to show you just how much I love you… please… make love to me…"

Shinn nodded dumbly, unsure of what to say in that moment, before moving in to unzip Flay's dress, allowing it to fall from her body as his eyes hungrily took in her underwear-clad form.

Flay blushed even deeper, and kissed Shinn again as she helped pull Shinn's shirt off of his body, then undid the button of his pants.

Allowing his pants to slide off, Shinn stepped out of them and, while still engaged in their kiss, pushed Flay back onto the bed, falling on top of her as their tongues entwined. "Flay…" Shinn breathed out between kisses. "You are so beautiful…"

"And you are so handsome, Shinn…" Flay whispered. "I… I'm glad I fell in love with you…"

"Flay…" Shinn breathed out as he quickly reached behind her back to unclip her bra and pulled it off, revealing her modest breasts, leaning over he cupped a breast and brought his lips down upon it.

"Shinn…" Flay moaned, "that feels so good…" One of her hands began pulling Shinn deeper onto her breast, while her other hand reached under her panties to rub a finger along her dampening slit.

Shinn complied with her wordless request as he continued to suckle on her breast, his other hand clumsily massaging her other breast.

Flay could feel heat and pressure building up in her crotch, Shinn's ministrations stimulating her even more than the few times she'd pleasured herself, despite the clumsiness. She pulled the hand that had been rubbing her slit out of her panties, and moved it up to Shinn's boxers, where she could feel his growing erection even through the fabric as she began clumsily massaging it.

Shinn gasped as he felt Flay's hands upon his erection, even with her inexperienced fondling and rubbing he felt bolts of pleasure from the contact. "Flay!" he shouted out as he separated from her breast.

Flay's cheeks were now bright crimson from arousal as she reached down and slipped her panties down just enough to expose her womanhood, already glistening from her juices. "I… I can't wait anymore, Shinn…" she moaned. "Please… I… I need you in me…"

Shinn took in a shaky breath as he nodded, hastily bulling his boxers down enough to free his erection before placing it before her entrance. "F… Flay… a-are you sure?" he asked, restraining his own raging hormones to ensure her willingness.

"I… I am…" she moaned. "My… my virginity is yours, Shinn… please… take it…"

Shinn nodded, unable to restrain himself any further as he plunged himself fully inside of her, the two of them gasping in unison as he broke past her proof of virginity, Shinn gasping in pleasure as he felt her virgin pussy wrap itself tightly around him.

Flay moaned both from the pain of her hymen breaking and from pleasure at the feeling of Shinn's member filling her pussy. After a few moments to get used to the feeling and let the pain subside, she kissed Shinn again and shifted her hips slightly.

Receiving the confirmation to go ahead, Shinn slowly removed the majority of his length from her pussy, before plunging it back into her welcoming pussy. "I-It's so tight…" he grunted out as he slowly picked up his unsteady rhythm.

"Y-you fill me up so much, Shinn!" Flay moaned as she began gyrating her hips, trying to match Shinn's movements. "It feels so good!"

The two moved erratically as they bucked against one another, the pleasure they were feeling overwhelmed any discomfort that came from their unmatched rhythms. "I'm going to cum soon!" Shinn warned desperately, not wanting to remove himself from Flay's tight snatch.

"I-Inside!" Flay gasped, close to her own limit. "Cum inside me! I want to feel it!"

Shinn nodded as he thrusted desperately into her, before letting out a wordless shout as he thrusted himself fully within her and spilt his seed within her.

The feeling of Shinn's seed filling her womb sent Flay over the edge, and she screamed out wordlessly as she came, the walls of her pussy spasming around Shinn's member and milking it for everything it had.

The two clutched at each other as they came, white filling their eyes as they rode out their orgasms, the two of them spasming and twitching as the pleasure overloaded their nervous systems.

After they had come down from their orgasmic highs, they collapsed onto the bed, thoroughly exhausted. "That was… amazing…" Flay remarked, panting from exhaustion. "I… I never thought… my first time… would feel so good… thank you, Shinn…"

Shinn gulped for breath as he continued to hold Flay. "M… me, t… too," he informed. "Y… you were amazing, Flay…"

Flay giggled tiredly. "Th… thank you… Shinn…" she said, before yawning. "I guess… I guess we can… unpack everything… tomorrow…"

"Go… good idea," Shin agreed, his eyes drooping before he let out a yawn of his own. "Flay, I love you…"

"I love you too, Shinn…" Flay affirmed, her eyelids drooping closed. "G… good night…"

Shinn's snore was her answer as the two drifted off into an untroubled sleep.

***END LEMON!***
