Neupos: First kiss
The memory takes place in junior high, with Aiya, Araj, and Yura sitting together in Araj’s room. It’s a very cozy room, lots of earth colors, but with shelves full of computer parts. Yura is sitting cross-legged on Araj’s bed, while Araj herself and Aiya have their school textbooks open in front of them on the floor. They’ve been working for hours already, and it’s now the late afternoon. Even Aiya is losing steam at this point, and they’re almost done with their homework- Yura, of course, was the first to get distracted and start talking about other things.
During one of their distracted moments, Yura twirls a pen around idly, and asks out of nowhere: Hey, Araj, is there a guy you like? Araj denies it, turning slightly pink. Then, what about a girl? Yura asks, causing Araj to go from pink to very red, and tripping on her words. Aiya can’t help but giggle a little at that.
Who is it, who is it? Yura asks, her tail swaying excitedly. It’s no one, Araj stammers feebly. It doesn’t matter, she’s an elf so she’s not supposed to like girls… Yura and Aiya exchange a confused glance. Why would that matter? Aiya supposes it’s like how a traditional couple is supposed to be a warrior and a mage. Yura makes a face.
It’s really rare for elf girls to have any girl friends at all, and it’s pretty frowned upon, Araj explains. They’re supposed to support the men, and keep to their own duties… She looks upset by it, so Aiya and Yura share a quick glance, and Yura slides over to Araj and nudges her with an elbow. Well, she says with a grin, now you’re not in the elven woods anymore, so you can kiss all the pretty girls you want. The tense mood dissipates instantly, in favor of Araj blushing deeply and tripping over her words again.
What’s the matter, Yura grins mischievously, don’t you want to? Araj shakes her head, mumbling- She’s still an elf, so no one would want to, and she’s sure whoever tried would find her gross, and she wouldn’t even know what to do- until Yura cuts her off by kissing her. Aiya feels a strange knot in her stomach as she sees this- surely it’s just displeasure at her friend for doing that to the poor girl. Araj recoils back fairly quickly, leaving Yura pouting. But, still! She points out. Araj is really, really cute, and she wasn’t bad to kiss at all. If she’s still worried, Yura continues, she can just practice by kissing Aiya.
It takes a second for what she said to sink in, and Aiya immediately protests, but she can feel herself blushing. Why her? Because, Yura responds, she already kissed her, and Aiya’s a lot prettier. Aiya protests, she knows Yura is just saying that, but Araj protests again too- It’s weird, after all…
Yura pouts. It’s not weird at all, she says, look! With that, Yura takes Aiya’s arm, pulls her in close, and kisses her deeply, right on the lips. It takes Aiya a fair few seconds to process what’s going on, and even then she’s not sure what to do. When Yura finally breaks it off, Araj is absolutely beet-red, and Aiya can feel her own face burning just as badly. The only one who doesn’t seem to be embarrassed at all is Yura herself, who seems instead rather proud of proving her point. So, you see? She grins to Araj, who just nods meekly. Aiya can feel her heart pounding, but she tries to calm herself down, tuning out the other two for a moment… until she hears Yura ask if Araj wants to try now, and Araj agrees.
Araj approaches Aiya and tries, but she can’t seem to make herself do it, too anxious to actually go through with it. Aiya assures her it’s all right. She should take that sort of thing at her own pace, not just because someone thinks it would be fun- she shoots a short Look at Yura- besides, don’t they have homework to get back to?
They go back to continuing their work, Yura pouting, Araj blushing, and Aiya just trying to keep herself calm. But it’s no good, and she’s clearly distracted as they work- for the rest of the day, Aiya just can’t keep her kiss with Yura, and the near-kiss with Araj, out of her mind, her heart pounding the whole time. This was clearly just embarrassment, right?
