Melodic Discord

Ness: "Y-you want me t-to come in?"

Tina: "You sound shocked."

Ness: "I just uh… didn't expect it, haha…"

Tina: "Teehee~ Come on in!"

Ness: "I—ok!"

He stepped into her room, and his breath hitched as he took it all in. The walls were a canvas of rebellion and creativity, adorned with skateboards mounted like trophies, their scratched surfaces a testament to countless tricks and tumbles. Record CDs shimmered in the dim light, catching the glow of a string of fairy lights draped along the ceiling. Posters of her favorite artists dominated the walls, their bold designs and graffiti-like fonts mirroring the edgy vibe of the space. Stickers plastered on the corners of the room added bursts of color and personality, each one seeming to tell a piece of her story.

In the corner, a framed piece of graffiti art caught his eye—her signature style. Bold strokes and vibrant splashes of color created an image that seemed to pulse with life, standing out against the room's darker tones. The atmosphere felt moody yet inviting, like stepping into a secret hideaway where creativity thrived.

Tina: "So, whatcha think?"

Ness: "I like it!"

Tina: "I changed some stuff since the last time you've been here."

Ness: "Riight. I forgot, haha…"

Tina: "I don't blame ya. You weren't here for long. But now you can take in the atmosphere! I'm pretty proud of how my room turned out."

Ness: "You should be! It's great!"

Tina: "Haha~ You're too kind."

Ness: "It's creative. I like it."

She crossed the room with a casual grace, perching herself on the edge of her bed. The mattress dipped slightly under her weight as she leaned back on her hands, looking up at him with a calm, inviting expression. A small smile played on her lips as she gave a subtle tilt of her head, motioning for him to join her.

He stiffened at the gesture, his heart skipping a beat. Swallowing hard, he nodded, though his feet seemed glued to the floor. With a deep breath, he took off his shoes and forced himself to move, each step feeling heavier than the last. His hands fidgeted at his sides as he approached, and by the time he reached the bed, his legs felt like jelly.

He lowered himself onto the edge of the bed with a nervous stiffness, the springs creaking faintly beneath him. His shoulders were tense, his gaze fixed firmly on his lap as if looking anywhere else would undo him.

Tina: "Hahaha! Why so nervous? Get loose. Get comfy."

Ness: "I'm not nervous. W-who's nervous? N-not me!"

Tina: "You're so cute~"

Ness: "!"

Tina: "Ya know, Ness, I'm glad I met you."

Ness: "H-huh?"

Tina: "I just… The band wouldn't be complete without you."

Ness: "Oh, uh… I'm sure you would've found a better guitarist eventually."

Tina: "Nah dude. It's not about bein' better. It's about our bond. I feel comfortable with you."

Ness: "R-really?"

Tina: "Ya dude. You're super chill. Most guitarist that were in our band sucked ass."

Ness: "Like how?"

Tina: "The first one was constantly on crack. And the second, well, you know how Darnell is."

Ness: "Oh that guy…"

Tina: "Ya. He's literally the worst. I dunno why Riley and Kip like him so much. They know what he's done to me."

Ness: "Riley and Kip rub me off the wrong way. No offense."

Tina: "I'm sorry. Ever since you've come into the picture they've been talking about how much they miss Darnell. They didn't do that before."

Ness: "I think they're jealous."

Tina: "I've noticed. It's pissin' me off."

Ness: "Do you think they have feelings for you?"

Tina: "If they did, then they wouldn't want me to get back with my ex."

Ness: "That's true."

Tina: "I love Riley and Kip, but they're bein' so toxic. I think it's cuz they're racist."

Ness: "I've definitely got that vibe."

Tina: "It ain't right. I mean, I was kinda that way too for a bit, but soon realized how dumb it was."

Ness: "What made you realize?"

Tina: "Honestly, comin' to smash. The people here are cool."

Ness: "That's really mature of you."

Tina: "Thanks. I just wish Riley and Kip could see everyone else the same way I do."

Ness: "Me too."

Tina: "I just wanna say, thanks for bein' a part of the team even though they're actin' like that. Because of you, I'm reachin' closer to my dream."

Ness: "Your dream?"

Tina: "To be a rockstar! Ok, maybe not that big, but to get up on stage and sing in front of a large crowd at least once."

Ness: "That's an amazing dream."

Tina: "It's all thanks to you~"

Ness: "O-oh! Haha… I-I don't know about that..."

Tina: "You have no idea how much this means to me~"

Ness: "Tina I… I don't think I'm the right person for this."

Tina: "Whatchu mean?"

Ness: "This is such a big dream of yours. What if I mess up?"

Tina: "You won't."

Ness: "N-no, I... I'm not good at it."

Tina: "Sure you stumble here and there. That's why we're practicin'."

Ness: "I stumble a lot…"

Tina: "Not that much. Plus, you're gettin' better."

Ness: "Tina I… I have to tell you something…"

Tina: "What's that?"

Ness gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening as he shoved the bill of his cap down, letting it cast a shadow over his troubled eyes. His hands clenched around his thighs, his gaze on the floorboards. The air between them felt heavy, suffocating, as if her very presence was pressing him into the ground. A storm of guilt and anxiety churned in his chest, each wave crashing harder than the last.

He hated this feeling, the weight of unspoken words eating away at him like a slow poison. But he had to face it—he had to face her. The truth sat like a stone in his throat, and as much as it terrified him, he knew he couldn't let it fester.

He took a shaky breath, his grip tightening even further. He couldn't allow himself to be like Darnell, the kind of guy who weaved lies and manipulation into a web just to ensnare women. That wasn't him. That wouldn't be him. He had to be better, even if it meant tearing himself apart to get the words out.

Ness: "I lied."

Tina: "What?"

Ness: "I didn't know how to play guitar."

Tina: "You didn't?"

Ness: "No. I only said I did because I… I uh… wanted to impress you."

Tina: "..."

Ness: "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to be manipulative."

Tina: "..."

Ness: "I should just leave."

The brunet shifted, his body tensing as he prepared to rise from the bed. His hands pressed against the mattress for leverage, but before he could fully lift himself, her hand landed gently on his thigh. The sudden contact sent a jolt through him, and he froze mid-motion, his breath catching in his throat.

The warmth of her touch seemed to seep through the fabric of his pants, melting the tension in his muscles and anchoring him in place. His resolve to leave faltered, and slowly, he sank back onto the edge of the bed.

He turned to face her, his heart hammering in his chest like it was trying to escape. His face burned hotter when his gaze met hers. She was smiling—soft and genuine.

Tina: "You went out of your way to learn guitar just for me?"

Ness: "Y-yeah…"

Tina: "Dude, that's so sweet of you~"

Ness: "It is? B-but I lied."

Tina: "It was all to impress me~ No guy has ever gone that far. To learn a whole ass instrument in a month! That's impressive, Ness."

Ness: "Y-you think?"

Tina: "How'd you do it?"

Ness: "I barely took breaks, haha…"

Tina: "You really are incredible."

Ness: "N-no, I'm not that good. I still make mistakes."

Tina: "For someone who's only been doin' it for a month or two, you're truly gifted. You barely hiccup."

Ness: "I-I… Haha… T-thank you."

Ness's gaze darted to the floor, his cheeks still burning as he reached up to scratch the back of his head, the nervous gesture doing little to mask his shyness. His submissive, flustered demeanor only seemed to ignite something deep within her, a primal urge she couldn't quite explain.

Before he could react, she grabbed his hands, her touch firm and gentle, pulling his attention back to her. His eyes widened, and his heartbeat thundered in his ears.

Ba-dump!

She leaned in, her eyes fluttering shut as her lips puckered slightly. The world around him blurred into nothing but her presence—warm, overwhelming, and consuming. He barely had time to think, let alone act, before her lips pressed against his.

It was sudden, raw, and unrefined. There was no hesitation in her movements, no restraint. The kiss was messy, almost desperate, her enthusiasm outpacing his own. His heart raced as he tried to keep up, his inexperience making him stumble in the rhythm she set.

Feeling overwhelmed, he gently pushed away, his hand trembling as it rose to cover his mouth. His gaze flicked away, avoiding hers as a deep crimson spread across his face. "S-sorry," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not… I'm not good at it."

Tina: "Is this your first kiss?"

Ness's thoughts drifted back to darker times, memories he tried not to revisit but couldn't completely forget. He remembered the suffocating confines of the cave, the cold, damp air clinging to his skin. Luigi had been there, his presence looming over him in that wretched place. It was then, against his will, that Luigi had taken his first kiss. The memory made his stomach churn, but in his mind, it didn't count. It never could.

Another memory surfaced, softer but still complicated. Tina had kissed him once too, but the circumstances blurred the lines. She'd been intoxicated, her movements clumsy, her words slurred. He'd dismissed it then, writing it off as a fleeting, drunken impulse. That, too, didn't feel real. It didn't count.

And now, here he was, caught in the middle of something that felt entirely different. This time, Tina was in her right mind—her movements intentional, her feelings unmistakable. There was no haze of intoxication or coercion to muddy the moment.

Even though the kiss had taken him completely off guard, it was different in a way that made his chest tighten. For the first time, he could finally say this was the kiss he'd been truly waiting for—the one he could hold onto, even if he was terrible at it.

Ness: "Y-yeah…"

Tina: "Sorry, I shouldn't have been so aggressive."

Ness: "Y-you're totally fine! I just… I didn't expect you to kiss someone like me."

Tina: "Why?"

Ness: "I don't know. I just…"

Tina: "Oh Ness, you're beatin' yourself up too much."

Ness: "…"

Tina: "Did you wanna try again?"

Ness: "No, I'm bad at it."

She reached out, cupping his face with both hands, her touch firm yet comforting. Her thumbs gently brushed against his warm cheeks as she leaned in, shaking her head with a small, determined smile.

"No, you're not," she said, her voice soft but steady. "It's your first time. Everyone's first kiss is a mess." Her tone was reassuring, laced with a hint of amusement as she tried to ease his nerves.

She chuckled lightly, her gaze softening. "Trust me, my first kiss was way worse than this," she added, her honesty breaking through the tension.

Ness: "Really?"

Tina: "Oh yeah. I was a total klutz."

Ness: "I couldn't imagine."

Tina: *Chuckles* "C'mon, let's give this one more try. This time I'll go slow."

Ness: "O-ok."

Their eyes fluttered shut as they leaned in once more, the world around them fading into a quiet blur. When their lips met this time, the kiss was slower, softer, carrying a newfound sense of purpose. Ness was still a little unrefined, his movements hesitant and unsure, but he was beginning to find the rhythm, guided by her confidence.

As the moment deepened, her tongue slid gently past his lips, persuading him further into the kiss. A shiver ran down his spine, and he instinctively reached for her waist, his grip tightening as if to anchor himself in the dizzying rush of it all.

Her hands moved with urgency, tangling in the soft strands of his hair. She tugged gently but firmly, her desire desperate, igniting a fire between them. The kiss grew hungrier, more aggressive, their movements blending in a clumsy but passionate dance as they lost themselves in each other.

When they finally pulled away, both of them were breathing a little heavier, their chests rising and falling in sync with the intensity of the kiss. A quiet pause hung between them, but Tina was the first to break it.

She bit her lip, her eyes glinting with something new. Without warning, she pushed him back onto the bed, her movements swift and sure. Ness gasped, his breath catching in his throat, and his eyes went wide with shock at the sudden shift.

"T-Tina?" His voice was shaky, filled with a mix of surprise and something else he couldn't quite name. His heart raced, pounding against his chest as the heat from his flushed cheeks spread even further.

She licked her lips slowly, her gaze never leaving him as she moved with purpose. She started stripping her clothes, her movements deliberate, almost teasing in the way she slowly peeled them off.

As the fabric came away, her body was revealed to him. Her brown skin, smooth and flawless, seemed to shimmer under the soft glow of the room. His gaze lingered on her figure, the way her curves were highlighted by the light, his breath catching as he took in every detail.

Is this really happening? Ness couldn't wrap his mind around it. His thoughts were a whirlwind, and the feeling of confusion settled heavily in his chest. A part of him wanted to stop her, to put an end to this before it went any further. The nerves surged through him like a tidal wave, washing away any certainty he thought he had.

I've never done this before… The thought struck him like a cold reality, and doubt crept in. She's going to be disappointed... The negative voices in his head only grew louder, pushing at his resolve. I should stop this.

His mouth opened as if to protest, to say something that would pull them back from the edge, but before he could find the words, she kissed him again—this time, with a fierce urgency that left no room for hesitation.

Without thinking, his arms instinctively wrapped around her, pulling her closer as she began to move against him. A shiver ran down his spine as he felt the sensation of her grinding against him, sending waves of heat through his body. Quiet moans escaped his lips, and even as the embarrassment burned through him, he couldn't help it. He felt completely overwhelmed by the way she took him by surprise once again, making him lose himself in the moment despite every uncertain thought racing through his mind.

Warning: NSFW

Ness could feel the growing tightness in his pants with each passing second she was on top of him. The sensation was foreign, and his pulse quickened in response to the overwhelming closeness. When she finally pulled away, it only took a moment for her hands to move up, lifting his shirt slowly.

She revealed his twink yet lean, toned figure, and for a moment, Ness felt exposed—his fair skin catching the light, smooth and almost too pretty for his liking. But Tina seemed to admire it, her gaze softening as she took in the sight of him. She gently tugged his shirt higher, exposing more of his collarbone.

"Damn, you're so sexy," she whispered, her voice low and full of admiration.

His eyes widened at her words, his lips parting in surprise. The compliment hit him harder than he expected. Immediately, he looked away, the heat in his cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Despite the flood of nerves coursing through him, there was something else—a feeling of happiness he hadn't anticipated. Beneath the vulnerability was a warmth, an unexpected sense of being wanted, of being seen in a way that made him feel both fragile and powerful at the same time.

"I-I…" He stuttered, his voice shaky and unsure, his breath caught in his throat. "Is this really happening?" His voice was barely above a whisper, as if speaking too loudly would shatter the fragile reality he was caught in.

Tina: "Do you not want it to?"

Ness: "I do! It's just… I've—uh…"

Tina: "Never done it?"

Ness: "N-no…"

Ness quickly lifted his hand to cover his eyes, as if shielding himself from the overwhelming embarrassment could somehow make it go away. His heart raced, and his thoughts scrambled, the sheer vulnerability of the situation hitting him all at once. But before he could retreat any further, Tina chuckled softly, the sound light and playful.

She gently took his hand, moving it away from his face. Her touch was warm, her fingers brushing against his skin as she guided his hand down, bringing their eyes back together.

Tina: "Don't be scared."

Ness: "B-but I-I… I don't know… How to y'know."

Tina: "That's fine. I don't care."

Ness: "What if I'm bad?"

Tina: "Hey, shh, look at me."

Tina cupped his chin and smiled. "I'm gonna have a good time because it's you~"

Ba-dump!

Ness: "!"

He let her gently scoot further down the bed, feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness. As she slowly removed his pants and boxers, the cool air of the room seemed to heighten his awareness of every sensation. There he was, completely exposed and vulnerable in a way he hadn't experienced before.

Tina: "Wow, it's…"

Ness: "Huh?"

Tina bit her lip, her heart pounding in her chest as excitement swelled within her. It was surreal seeing how big his dick was. Though it wasn't her first time seeing it. She had dated his clone before, and in terms of physical experiences, they were exactly the same. However, she knew that they were two completely different people. Tonight felt different. It was going to be a new experience entirely, far removed from the night she had shared with Nate.

Nate had always exuded confidence, his cocky nature both enticing and frustrating. She liked how he would let her take control—it was fun in its own way—but something always felt off. There was an emptiness to it, a lack of authenticity. It wasn't real. It was all a game, roleplay and acting, nothing more than a performance to him.

But with Ness, it was different. There was no cocky bravado in him. He was nervous, shy, unsure of himself, and it was raw. It felt genuine. His vulnerability stirred something inside her, a sense of power that was more natural. His reactions weren't just part of a roleplay; they were real, and that made everything feel more intense, more exciting.

Tina: "You're pretty big."

Ness: *Gasps* "I-is that a good thing?"

Tina: "It's a really good thing~"

With quick precision, she reached for the drawer in her nightstand and retrieved a condom. Tearing the wrapper open with her teeth, she pulled it out and slid it onto his erection. Her movements were fluid and confident, yet there was a hint of urgency in her actions. Once it was securely in place, she removed her undergarments, tossing them to the side without a second thought.

Gulp

Ness swallowed hard, the sound audible in the quiet room as she lifted herself slightly, her movements deliberate as she tried to find the right position. His hands trembled faintly at his sides. She leaned in closer, her voice soft and soothing, "Relax," she whispered, her breath warm against his ear.

Despite her gentle encouragement, the tension radiating off him was noticeable. His chest rose and fell in rapid, uneven breaths, the rise of anxiety written across every movement. She could see it in the way his fingers gripped the sheets, in the slight quiver of his lip. He was overthinking every second, caught in a storm of nerves and anticipation that he couldn't seem to shake.

"You'll feel good," she said softly, her voice laced with reassurance as she reached for his cock. The moment her fingers brushed against it, it twitched, reacting instinctively to the contact. She gave his dick arm a firm yet comforting squeeze, her touch causing an intense feel of euphoria.

Then it happened. The sensation was sudden and overwhelming as she slipped inside his erection. His body arched slightly, and a sound escaped his lips—a moan, louder than he intended. "A-ah~!" His eyes widened in embarrassment, and he immediately slapped a hand over his mouth, his cheeks burning a deep crimson.

She didn't stop him from trying to hide, though. If anything, the sight of his flustered reaction only made her smile. Her gaze lingered on his face, captivated by the raw vulnerability etched in his features. One of his eyes was nearly shut, his expression caught between surprise and pleasure from the sudden shift.

She began bouncing rhythmically on his dick, the movement causing soft creaks from the mattress beneath them. Their breaths grew more erratic, coming in quick, shallow gasps as the exertion increased. Beads of sweat formed along her brow, catching the light, while his chest heaved, rising and falling.

There were moments when their rhythm faltered, the synchronization slipping away. Awkward pauses crept in here and there as he struggled to match her movements. His sincere effort was clear in the way his brows furrowed, determination etched across his flushed face.

She could feel his hesitation, the slight stumbles as he tried to coordinate with her. It wasn't perfect—far from it—but there was something endearing about his clumsy attempts. Each misstep was a reminder that this was new for him, that he was learning, and that he was trying his hardest not to disappoint her.

She chuckled softly, brushing a hand against his cheek. "It's okay," she whispered, her tone laced with warmth and reassurance.

Tina: "How about for now, you just lay there like a good little toy~"

Ness: "O-ok."

He focused intently on her voice, letting her take full control as she led him through the motions. Her confidence was magnetic, grounding him in the moment. As she swayed and moved, she reached for his hands, guiding them firmly to her hips.

Something clicked. The clumsiness that had plagued him earlier seemed to melt away. There were no more awkward pauses or mismatched movements. His focus sharpened, syncing with her every motion. Watching her, feeling her, he began to follow her rhythm, his hips gradually falling into step with hers.

Tina: "Damn, you feel so fuckin' good~"

Ness: ["Hah… Hah… Y-yeah? I do?"]

Tina: "Mm~ I love it. I love your riding on your cock~"

Ness: ["A-ah~! Y-you feel amazing, Tina."]

Tina: ["Am I sweet?"]

Ness: ["Nnf~! The sweetest."]

Tina: "Aww, how cute. Too bad the sweetness is over."

Ness: "Huh?"

Her hand darted to his neck, gripping it with a firm, unrelenting squeeze. The sudden force made him gasp, his eyes widening as his hands instinctively shot up to grasp her wrist, his fingers wrapping around it in a mix of surprise and reflex.

Ness: "Ack! Eech!"

Tina: "Aww, you like that, don't ya?"

He nodded faintly at her response, his grip on her wrist lingering as if to anchor himself in the moment. Without hesitation, her other hand slid into his hair, fingers threading through the soft strands before yanking hard. The sharp tug sent a jolt through him, his breath hitching as he froze under her control.

"Kch!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes squinting shut as the intensity of the moment washed over him. As much as the pain stung, he couldn't deny the thrill that surged through him, a mix of discomfort and exhilaration he found impossible to resist. Sure, he's a guy and supposed to be dominant, but there was something exciting about falling into the sub role. Though he was powerful and could stop her at any moment, she held the reins completely. Her influence was undeniable, her charm far surpassing anything he could resist. His mind felt foggy, clouded by the pull of the moment, unable to think clearly. All that filled his mind was a blur of pain and pleasure, each sensation overwhelming him completely.

Tina: "God, seein' your face right now is such a turn on."

Ness: "Eech!"

She stopped bouncing, releasing her grip on his throat. With the pressure lifted, he gasped, eagerly sucking in the air as if he'd been starved for it.

Tina: ["You're such a good boy~"]

Ness: "Hah... Hah... G-good boy?"

Tina: "Yeah, you just accepted it. So obedient~"

Ness: "I-I…"

Tina: "Aww, can't speak your mind?"

Ness gave her a shy, almost submissive look, his innocence radiating in a way that she found irresistibly charming. Eager to draw out more reactions from him, she leaned in, her teeth chomping down on his neck causing him to squirm.

Ness: ["Agh~! Kch! Nn~"]

His arms instinctively wrapped around her as her bite stayed firm against his neck. He gritted his teeth, enduring the sharp sting that pulsed through him. Tough as he was, he managed to keep his voice steady, at a low conversational level, but the unexpected pressure of her bite sent a jolt of surprise through him.

She released her grip and softly began to lick around the area, as if soothing the mark she had left behind. Since it was his first time, she decided the roughness was enough for now. But next time, she knew it would be different. She placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, ruffling his hair affectionately afterward.

His face softened from her affectionate, now gentle touch. She carefully lowered herself onto his dick and began riding him once again. The intensity of earlier still lingered, sparking excitement in him to the point where he could hardly hold back any longer.

Ness: "T-Tina, I-I… Wait, slow down."

She smiled and shook her head, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You can't always get what you want," she teased, her voice low and playful. Slowly, she leaned in closer, keeping him on edge. She could see the tension in his shoulders, the way he was trying to control his breath. It made her want to push just a little further, to see how much more he could handle.

She quickened her pace, her momentum more intense. He instinctively raised a hand to his mouth, his fingers pressing against his lips, muffling the moans. His voice, already soft and barely audible, was swallowed by the gesture. He tried so hard not to cum, especially since she wasn't there yet, but he couldn't. The pleasure was too great. This is something he never felt before. The closeness of it all, he couldn't control his urges anymore. He reached climax, his erection throbbed as his arm flew to his eyes covering them. His chest was rising and falling as he took time to catch his breath.

Ness: "I'm… *pants* … S-sorry…"

Tina let out a soft chuckle, the sound warm and comforting. She gently pulled herself off him, her movements slow and careful. Without a word, she shifted beside him, her arms slipping around him in an embrace that was both tender and protective, holding him close as if to shield him from everything else.

Tina: "That was amazing."

Ness: "B-but… *pants* you didn't finish…"

Tina: "Don't feel too bad. I was almost there."

Ness: "Really?"

Tina: "You can still help~"

She gently took his hand, guiding it with a soft touch toward her pussy. With a subtle, deliberate motion, she wrapped her fingers around two of his, leading them toward it. Her fingers, steady and purposeful, slipped his inside of her, pressing his wrist tightly, Slowly, she began moving his hand, her fingers controlling the motion as she moved his arm into a steady up-and-down rhythm, each movement intentional and intimate.

Using his fingers, she quickened the pace, causing herself to fully immerse herself in the pleasure. She let out a quiet cute moan as she finally let herself go, fluid gushing out from her, pooling and dripping splattering onto his hand, leaving a warm, damp sensation.

He couldn't believe this moment. Even though she didn't finish during sex, he still managed to make her cum overall. That was enough for him, especially since it was his first time doing anything intimate like this.

Tina: "Wow, that… *huffs* was nice."

Ness: "R-really? I was ok?"

She cupped his face gently, her eyes sparkling as she smiled. "You were more than okay. I loved every second of it." Her words wrapped around him like a warm embrace, and he couldn't help but feel a tug at his lips. Deep down, he knew he hadn't been perfect, especially at the start. His anxiety whispered doubts, but the way she smiled made those thoughts fade into the background. In that moment, all he felt was happiness.

Tina: "I definitely wanna do it again."

Ness: "A-again?"

Tina: "If you want~"

Ness: "I-I... Y-yes! I want to do this again! I've never felt anything like this before! I can't even put into words how incredible it felt with you!"

Tina: "I'm glad~"

She let out a soft, quiet yawn before slowly turning onto her back, her body settling into the motion as she stretched out.

Ness: "Oh, uh… D-did you want me to let you sleep?"

Tina: "Wha? Nah. I want you to stay. Let's cuddle~"

Ness: "O-oh! Okay."

He turned onto his side, hesitation lingering for a moment before he gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. She smiled at the warmth of his embrace, her body relaxing into his. With a soft sigh, she closed her eyes. "Goodnight," she murmured. "G-goodnight," he stammered in reply, his voice barely a whisper as he settled into the calm of the moment.

The entire time he held her, his mind was racing. He couldn't believe it—what had just happened. D-does this mean we're together now? The thought made his heart skip a beat. We just did that, so... A rush of serotonin flooded through him, his chest swelling with excitement. Obviously she's my girlfriend now! I-I have a girlfriend!
