Colt let out a quiet sigh as he squatted in an alley, leaning against the wall as he stared up at the sky, his mind muddled.

He couldn't quite make sense of what had happened, struggling to process it.

"Seriously, what was that? Does she actually-...? Nah, no way, not someone like me. Then...maybe I broke her? Like, maybe I've overdone it, and she just snapped and acted without thinking? Maybe she just wanted to shut me up, like she said," He pondered uncertainly.

"There you are!" Suddenly came Lexia's voice.

Colt tensed before springing back onto his feet, starting to run away before coming to an abrupt halt as Lexia rushed forward and grabbed his wrist, tightening her grip.

"U-Uh, hey, I have, uh...a thing to do, so-...," He stuttered as he tried to break free.

"Come on, you would be happy that I'm treating you so roughly," She huffed, before pushing him against the wall and pinning his wrists, adding as she met his gaze with a determined look in her eyes, "Now, then...I'm going to talk, and you're going to listen. Got it?"

"I-I, uh...yes, ma'am."

"You're not quite right in the head, you know, you're a sadomasochistic perv, you suck at reading the room-...or rather, you intentionally go against it to piss people off, in hopes that they'll retaliate. That's why it's so frustrating, but I can't deny it anymore, I...I've fallen for you," She uttered, her lower lip quivering slightly as her voice cracked.

"H-Huh?" He blurted out, his face turning red, before Lexia instinctively slapped him hard across the face before she could stop herself, wincing slightly as his head jerked across to the right.

"Th-That was a reward, a-and there's plenty more where that came from if you go out with m-...!" She began, before trailing off and shaking her head, taking a deep breath to compose herself before adding, "No, I'm not going to try and coerce you or dance around it. I'm just going to come out and say it as directly as possible...I'm in love with you, Colt, so be my boyfriend."

"J-Just...just give me a sec to gather my thoughts, I kinda can't think straight right now," He responded, looking a bit overwhelmed.

"Y-Yeah, sure," She nodded, thinking to herself, "Damn it, that confession was an absolute mess, it couldn't have gone worse! Did...did I screw up?"

She waited with a sense of anticipation and dread as Colt took a moment to compose himself and collect his thoughts, before finally speaking...

"I...I was fine with the way things were, or at least, that's what I convinced myself, because I never imagined that things could ever change between us. I never...I never even considered the possibility that you could like me back. I...I'm in love with you too, have been for a while. Though, I haven't really made much of an effort to hide it," He remarked, while thinking to himself, "Man, that was nerve-wracking, and knowing how hard it is for her to be honest with her feelings, I can't imagine how she felt when she confessed. There's no way I could disregard the courage it must have taken...but, for real, is this actually happening? I-..."

His train of thought was cut off as Lexia stepped in closer towards him, meeting his gaze from inches away with a gleam in her eyes.

"S-So, then...I take it that means you're agreeing to be my boyfriend?"

"Huh? Yeah, I am," He nodded, his eyes widening slightly as a warm, cheerful smile spread out across her lips, making his heart skip a beat as he thought to himself, "W-Woah, I've never seen her make an expression like that before, it...it might be my favorite one yet."

"Okay, I'm going to kiss you now, among other things," She remarked, as she leaned in.

"Y-Yes, ma'am," He nodded, before closing his eyes as she pressed her lips against his, caressing them softly between hers as she cupped his cheek, as Colt thought to himself, "H-Holy shit, this is...this is really happening. Wait...among other things? What exactly is she referring to? And does she mean out here? I guess I don't have a problem with that, but I never would've thought that she-...w-woah, she's really going in."

Lexia pushed her thigh between his legs as she kissed him deeply and more fervently, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

He tentatively slipped his arms around her and pulled her closer towards him, her chest pressing onto his.

He shuddered slightly as she pulled on his lower lip, tracing it with the tip of her tongue as she ran her fingers through the hair on the back of his head with her right hand, while tracing her left fingertips across the back of his neck.

As he slid his hands down to her hips, she pushed her tongue into his mouth, twirling it around his, before the two of them pulled away to catch their breath, their faces deeply flushed as they stared into each other's eyes tenderly.

"L-Let's...let's take this indoors," Lexia suggested in a hoarse whisper, burning with desire as she thought to herself, "It's embarrassing, but...I really, really don't want to stop. But I'd rather not go any further in a dirty alley...since I kissed him yesterday, at least I didn't have my first kiss in this alley, that's something."

"Y-Yeah, okay," Nodded Colt, before Lexia stepped back, composing herself with a deep breath

.

"Your place is closer, right? Let's go there."

"S-Sure, that's fine with me."

As he began to lead the way, his heart racing, he glanced to his left in surprise as Lexia took hold of his hand, lacing her fingers between his.

"What?" She mumbled, averting her gaze bashfully.

"S-So cute, this side of her might be awakening something new inside me," Colt thought to himself with a slight gulp, "N-Nothing...uh, let's get going."
