"Sasha..." He hesitated, face flushing as they were practically eye to eye, nose to nose, his heart racing and his insides churning. Deep breaths. Just say it. "Y-you're.. important to me. Being... being around you is like... like ... I feel like how I feel when I'm playing the guitar or... or the piano. You know? It's just... I'm just... Um."

"I know."
Sasha gave a low hum, reaching forward with a cool hand. She pressed a finger against the scar on his chin. Slid the backs of her fingers against the lacework mess of scars on his cheek.
After that small touch, Sasha tucked her hands beneath her cheek and stared at him in silence before speaking.
"I'm.. I don't.. I don't know how t-this all works, Jerry, I just.. I feel comfortable. Around you, and.." She shook her head.
"If .. If I lost that, I.. if I lost you, I don't.. I don't know what I would do."

"You'd never lose me," He smirked, still flushing from the touch before scooting a little bit closer. The action made the whole makeshift bed bounce and a sharp pain jolt up from his knee. His moment of confident smile was replaced by a cringe as he reached down to rub it with a hiss, "That's unless something eats me first but well... ho-hopefully that won't happen um. Anytime soon. Ahahaha..."
He cleared his throat, settling back down again, happy to just take in her face, her eyes through that curtain of hair. "I didn't... have any um. R-real experience with... with these sorts of things before um."
She-who-must-not-be-named.
He cleared his throat again, timidly lifting a hand to tuck her hair behind her ear so he could see her better.
He had kissed Rin just fine, hadn't he? He had even kissed Clarice.
How come this was so hard?
His adam's apple bobbed behind his scarf and he leaned his forehead against her's, letting the sides of their noses touch.

Sasha's lips tugged down in a frown, but she refrained from speaking. Her mouth merely flattened into a line as he settled; she didn't want to think about what he'd said, so she chose to ignore it - for now.
She closed her eyes when he leaned in. Sasha made no move to push forward. This was nice, too, honestly. Just being close to someone that cared enough to be there for her. It was comforting, soothing. Nice.
"It's okay," she whispered softly, their breath mingling. "I'm.. it's not important. The.. the kissing, I mean. This is nice. Just.. being here. With you."

He paused, his lips hovering a breath away from her's.
Her words sank in.
His face went red.
"I... I'll always be there to... to protect you okay? To the best of my means. I know I make a... a p-pretty terrible moon but. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you. Okay?"
What the hell.
He leaned forward, gently pressing his lips against her's and this time they were aimed properly.
If she freaked out, he'd blame exhaustion.

Sasha's breath hitched just the slightest before she reached up to touch his cheek with gentle fingers. Her eyes briefly widened before slipping shut.
The kiss was chaste, a simple press of her lips against his. His against hers. After a few moments, Sasha broke the kiss, pulling back. She pressed the tip of her nose against his.
"You do make a p-pretty terrible moon."
There was a sweet smile on her lips.

He relaxed, simply smiling into her cool blue eyes as his glasses went crooked against the pillow. It was.... nice. Not being afraid. There was no rushing too fast or too rough and the worst of it was over. There had been no rejection. "I'm... I'm just so glad you're okay. And... and we'll be okay. This is just... a stepping stone. We're Hunters, right? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger," He shifted until they both were more comfortable on the small bed, an arm gently wrapping around her as their socked feet touched.
He was tired. Exhausted. She was probably as well, it was written clear enough on her face. He kissed her again, gentle once again before gingerly removing his glasses to pop them under their pillow for safe keeping.

Right. What didn't kill them made them stronger. Unless they were dead, and then they were just... well, they were dead. It was a thought that Sasha didn't give much attention to, not now. Not when things seemed so perfect.
Sasha gave a content hum when he kissed her again, eyes slipping closed immediately afterward.
"If .. if we live through tomorrow, if .. I'm. I'm worried. I disrespected... I stole from my division lead, I .. I just. I hope he understands, Jerry."
She tucked her head beneath his chin inhaling softly.
"What happens if ... if I get in trouble?" She shook her head.
"I don't want to.. to think about it."

"No one could be mad at you," He whispered, feeling his body relax for the first time in what felt like a month.

The only response he would hear was a soft snore that slowly rose in volume until it peaked and subsided.
There was also probably already a healthy dose of drool.
