Arms automatically wrapping themselves around the blondeâs waist as she wrapped hers around his neck, he did something that he never would have done back in Nerima, he didnât pull back from Honey.
Despite his cheeks glowing just as red as hers, he actually squeezed her back, hands brushing against her back and chest pressed against hers.
Just being able to be this close to someone he cared so deeply for without some asshole getting in their way and ruining the moment, it was times like these that made him feel like all the crap he had to go through and even all the enemies heâs had to fight since meeting her was worth it just to be with her.
Being with Honey had changed him in ways he had no idea he so brutally needed to change, he supposed he once felt the same for Akane but their shared immaturity had ruined any chance of anything to happen between them while with Honey she helped him to grow into someone he sometimes struggles to recognize as himself but he doesnât think thatâs a bad thing at all.
âWell, you should check out the woman that helped me grow.â
He leaned forward, lips interlocking with hers, unable to keep himself from kissing the blonde anymore, he would hold her there in his arms, before he pulled back, a shy smile on his face despite the long romantic kiss he just gave her.
âSheâs pretty amazingâŠâ
And he didnât think he could have done it without her.
âMmm.â One of Honeyâs hands moved up into his hair and she was about to suggest they go have âdessertâ first when her tummy rumbled, loudly. She laughed and with a sigh of regret touched a final small kiss to his lips.
âThere, Iâm placing a bookmark so I wonât lose my place and can get back to where I was after dinner,â she joked. âI bet youâre hungry after training so hard, too.â She glanced over at the table where she had laid out their food. âWe donât want it to get cold, after all.â
And yet she didnât want to pull out of his warm embrace. It had taken a long time for him to get to the point of being comfortable with showing her affection when they were alone and she was enjoying the fruits of her patience. An idea crossed her mind; Ranma would want to clean up after dinner. Perhaps she could surprise him there to pick up at her saved place. She smiled, the plan taking shape.Â
A reluctant noise and she took his hands in hers, walking backwards towards the table. âLetâs eat!â
