Hideouts behind the bushes were kind of dangerous, Honoka realized.
She couldn't help it, really. Nagisa just looked so cute every time she realized that they were going to be having a moment to themselves. She'd blush and say things like "Ho... Honoka!" out of surprise, but she was always so eager to reciprocate that Honoka knew it was okay, and that was important, because she'd never dream of doing something that Nagisa didn't want.
That's how it was now. They were at school, in their school uniforms, and technically there were still people about... but here, behind the bushes and trees, at a rather lonely side of the building... surely no one would notice two girls, right?
Honoka pushed herself forward gently until Nagisa was up against the wall. They kissed, but Honoka's glasses got in the way. She reached up with a hand instinctively, but Nagisa was the one who pulled her glasses off of her face. Nagisa then proceeded to get very distracted for a moment, staring into Honoka's eyes. "Honoka..."
Honoka kissed her again. She just couldn't help it. Not when Nagisa was the one taking initiative by taking her glasses off. It was too much. Honoka pulled away just longeenough to look at her. Nagisa's eyes were warm like honey-sweetened chocolate. Then she kissed her again. Her skin was soft and warm. Her breath came out in little gasps. It was almost an intoxicating feeling, Honoka thought. The word dangerous crossed her mind again.
"Mmm." That was Nagisa. She was enjoying this, clearly. That made it all the more special. "Honoka..." Nagisa said suddenly, and pulled away just enough so she could press her cheek against Honoka's. "We could get caught," she said in a low voice, close to Honoka's ear.
"Yes," said Honoka. "It's part of the game, don't you think?" She buried her nose into Nagisa's neck and breathed her in. She felt Nagisa quaver beneath her lips. There were so many sensations at play here. She couldn't concentrate on a single one enough to pick them out and distinguish between them. Nagisa was still holding her glasses, in one hand, but Honoka had her other hand in hers and had it pressed up against the wall, their fingers interlaced.
"Oh... I see," Nagisa stammered. Honoka was pressed against her and could hear her heart beating quickly against her chest. For a moment, she worried that Nagisa would tell her to back off; that this was all just a bit too playful. But she didn't. She didn't, until Honoka, her own eyes closed, felt something shift beneath her lips. Honoka opened her eyes. Nagisa was looking somewhere off over Honoka's shoulder.
Honoka turned her head and followed her gaze. Some poor, hapless underclassman had stumbled across them and was staring at them, wide-eyed. She opened her mouth to gape, then closed it again quickly.
"I... um... we..." that was Nagisa, her cheeks swiftly turning pink.
Honoka turned to face the poor girl who had found them. Had it been just about anyone else, she might have been less forgiving, but this girl was so non-threatening that Honoka couldn't help but be friendly. "Did you need something?" she asked.
"E...excuse me!" The girl bowed hastily. "I heard something and came to look and... I didn't realize... Yukishiro-senpai... Misumi-senpai... I'm sorry!"
"It's alright," said Honoka patiently.
"But... if I may ask," the girl ventured. "Two... girls? That's... I didn't think..."
Honoka smiled. "Two girls can share a special moment like this just as a boy and girl can. Or two boys. Or anyone."
"Oh... I see." The underclassman blushed. "I hadn't thought of that... but it does make sense... thank you! Ahh, Yukishiro-senpai... I should've known you would know these things! You're... you're so smart!"
Honoka giggled. "If you will excuse us, now..."
"Oh! Right! I'm sorry!" The girl bowed again and quickly left.
Honoka turnred back to Nagisa, who still had her back to the wall and was blushing deeply. "H... Honoka..."
"I wouldn't worry about it," said Honoka. She smiled. "I got the feeling... that she needed to know about us."
"Mmm," said Nagisa. Her cheeks were very red. She still had Honoka's glasses in one hand, which Honoka thought was extra cute.
Honoka found it remarkably endearing. Still, she felt a little bad for simply admiring the view like this. "We don't have to stay here, if you don't want to."
"Oh! I mean, I um... like it," Nagisa stammered. "I just wasn't expecting anyone to... you know... but... but I don't mind!" she added quickly.
"You don't mind?" Honoka asked.
"If people see, I mean," said Nagisa. "I'm not nervous about us being like this." She was blushing harder even as she said it, and she lifted her free hand to scratch behind her head. "It's always been a little hard for me to be open about things like this, but... I don't want this to be hard, I mean. I'm proud of both of us. Sorry, I don't know if I'm making sense."
"I think you're making perfect sense," said Honoka. "It's like... it's a special moment, just for us, but it's not one we're ashamed of."
"Yeah! Exactly," said Nagisa. Her eyes lit up at the realization that her thoughts had been put into words.
Honoka loved when that happened. It was easy for Nagisa to jump from emotion to emotion and she loved when excitement sparkled through her eyes. "Well then," Honoka said, and she pushed herself up against Nagisa and took her hand again. "Where were we?"
They kissed again, and this time there was a new thrill to it - new, but no less wonderful.
