Work Text:
Rui noticed two things:
One, that Nene was concentrated on the game she was playing, her fingers moving rapidly on the controls, the sound of quick taps on buttons rising in the room.
And two, that she was wearing a new makeup product on her lips. Perhaps it was his imagination playing tricks on him, seeing as she was currently lying on the ground on his side while she was on his couch. Yet he still asked, “Nene, are you wearing a new lipstick?”
She took a second to respond, then quickly looked up from the screen. “Hm? Yeah, I just wanted to see how long it’ll stay on me.”
“Interesting,” he replied, watching her go back to her game. “When did you get it?” He asked as he himself went back to tinkering with the robot he was working on.
This time, the girl paused her game. “My mom bought it for me a few days ago.” She paused. “…Actually, I do need to test something else asides from how long it’ll stay before fading away.”
Rui rose an eyebrow, but didn’t sit up yet. “What is it?” Nene swallowed her hesitancy, becoming a bit more bold while putting her console down. “I… I need to check how easily it transfers to other surfaces.” She stood up from the coach, and sat down next to him on the ground.
“I can get you a glass of water then,” he began, recalling how stains of pigment marked plastic cups his mother would drink from. Nene put a hand on his shoulder, stopping him. “N-No, I was thinking more of…” She leaned her head down quickly, her hair brushing against the side of his face and placed a peck on Rui’s cheek.
He jolted a bit, a little caught off guard. But he regained his composure. “Ah, you meant like that. Well, did it transfer?”
Nene looked down at his cheek. It definitely did. There was a small reddish pink mark on his skin in the shape of her lips. But selfishly, she didn’t say yes. “U-um., no, it didn’t transfer yet.”
Rui knew she was lying. His eyes darted to her lips, seeing how the color had gotten lighter, and he could feel the velvety texture on his skin. Before he could say anything though, Nene pushed his shoulder down and moved him onto his back, ducking down suddenly, and captured his lips with hers. Her hair fell over him again like a curtain, tickling his cheeks.
First, she kissed lightly, in case he pushed her away. Instead, he had made a small sound of surprise in his throat that made the girl go deeper, until she couldn’t breath. Nene pulled away momentarily, catching her breath. Her heart was racing, and she was certain he could hear it.
The boy’s own heart was racing from the unexpectedness of the situation. Just a few minutes ago, the two were hanging out in comfortable silence aside from the clinking of metal and quick presses of buttons, and now she was hovering over him, one hand resting on his shoulder and the other now cupping his cheek.
A grin began growing on Rui’s face, his lips parting, planning to speak and tease her about her eagerness to kiss him, but she leaned down once more, pressing her lips firmly against his. But she was still breathless, and had to pull away faster than the first kiss.
“Nene—“ He began, but she shut him up once more with another kiss. A few seconds later, she raised her head again. Her face was flushed, probably hot to the touch, but she still managed to look him in the eyes. His face was also uncharacteristicly red.
Rui tried to speak again, but this time she put her hand over his mouth. “J-Just be quiet…” He giggled, grabbing her wrist and moving her hand away, placing it over his own racing heart. His other hand went over her waist, holding her in place. “Are you just going to kiss me every time I try to speak?”
Nene's tongue darted out to lick her lips, already missing the feeling of his against hers. She denied, saying “No, I just don’t want to hear any teasing comments you might make!”
“Mmm, I think you just wanted an excuse to kiss me with your little lipstick test—“
“Shut up,” Nene snapped back, but kissed him again anyway.
