Makoto, albeit hesitantly, closed her eyes. She puckered her lips in a way that looked forced and unnatural. It wasn’t a great start, she obviously needed help.
“Let’s stop right there…†Akira said sympathetically.
Makoto, still glowing red, stopped. She felt extremely embarrassed, like she just wanted to hide from Akira after doing something so stupid. “I… need help…†she mumbled in despair.
Akira pondered for a moment. How do you teach a person to kiss? “Hmmmm… Okay, how about this. Just kind of relax and let your mouth hang open a bit, and I’ll take care of the rest.†he suggested.
Makoto, even more embarrassed than before, complied and did as Akira said. Obviously, Akira didn’t give the best advice. She looked kind of goofy sitting there with her eyes closed and mouth hung open like that, but it was enough.
Akira went in, and then, contact. Makoto’s eyes shot open in surprise, she knew it was coming, but it still threw her off guard. She closed her eyes again, and enjoyed the moment. The softness, the warmth, the sensation, all perfect, more than anything Makoto was expecting.
And just like that, it was over. Makoto had had her first kiss, and by the end of the night, it certainly wouldn’t be the last.
