It's a peaceful day at Leblanc. Sojiro has a couple customers in his shop, both sipping coffee, one eating a curry. Mellow music is playing, the lighting is cozy, and the coffee is as good as ever.
He nods a greeting as Akira enters the shop on her way home from school.
She nestles close, still rocking a bit, a few more tears and sniffles spilling out..
"I... Are you sure?"
"No, it's okay, I, uh... I kind of have more experience with this exact kind of hurt than I'd like to have..."
She looks away. "Joker... likes to hurt people. And, um. I think I do too, judging from... the way I just bit you, there..."
"Huh." She rests her head on Akira's shoulder. "I... I think it's going to t-take a while before I can explore that without crying. I-is that okay?"
"That is the most reasonable thing I have ever heard someone say."
Akira hugs Shiho tenderly.
She nestles shakily into Akira's arms, hugging her back weakly and sniffling a bit more.
Eventually her breathing calms and she presses a teary kiss to Akira's cheek, squeezing her a bit tighter.
"Thank you," she whispers.
"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't careful enough, and I hurt you..."
Akira gently runs her hand down Shiho's back. "You deserve to be treated well. As... something precious. Something good. I was reckless."
"And you stopped. You c-couldn't predict that I'd react like that. I didn't know I'd r-react like that. But when I did, you stopped."
She hugs Akira some more.
Akira takes a breath.
"Yeah," she says softly. "I did."
She holds Shiho. "Thank you."
Shiho snuggles into Akira's arms. "Thank you."
After a slow breath, she continues, with a growing blush, "I probably will want to explore that eventually, even though it scares me a bit. I... um... I k-kind of moaned when you bit me, before I freaked out. Be kind of dumb to ignore that."
Akira flushes. "Y-yeah. That... that would be a good idea to. Figure out. Eventually."
"... That's up to you. Please don't force it if you don't want to, okay?"
Shiho's response to that is simply to pause for a moment, blushing more as she goes, and then lean in and press a soft kiss to Akira's lips.
Shiho presses softly into Akira, deepening the kiss slightly, running a hand along her waist.
Her movements are a little hesitant, after the scare earlier, but Shiho pulls Akira closer and kisses along her cheek and down her neck, caressing her waist.
Akira sighs, smiles, and kisses back, mirroring what Shiho's doing to her. Gentle kiss after gentle kiss press into Shiho's neck and shoulder, with no sign of teeth behind them.
Shiho sighs tenderly, warmly, and returns to Akira's lips, deepening the kiss and pressing as close as she can.
Akira kisses back, a little deeper again, her breath mixing with Shiho's. Her body's still tense from the sudden shock of Shiho's withdrawal, but as she kisses Shiho it gradually loosens.
This feels... right.
She pulls away with a smile, breathing heavily. "D-do you want to... move to the bed, maybe? Twisting like this is a little awkward."
