[ Phew, that's the first hurdle. She really thought he might refuse...
Not expecting to get this far, she flounders a little. D's kind hand squeeze helps, at least... Sharing an empathic bond really goes a long way toward assuring a Gray that the person she's with isn't judging her every move.
Now what? There are, she's finding, unexpected logistics in kissing someone. Her only other experience has involved someone close to her height, and D is what seven feet tall?? Gray glances up at him, cogs turning, then away, too flustered to look him in the eye. Should she ask him to kneel? Isn't that awkward?...
In the end, she decides that inconveniencing D is unacceptable. She makes her decision and sighs out her nerves. All at once, she looks back up at him, braces down slightly, and then hops up to a perfect height to brace her hand on his shoulder and deliver a well-mannered kiss to his lips.
It's a ridiculous application of athleticism. Add is already laughing at her before she's touched the ground, a little metallic clank signifying that he's fallen over.
Hello, Gray is no longer anxious but instead wants to die from embarrassment. Still holding D's hand, she looks ambiguously away somewhere, her hood sheltering at least some of the redness of her face.
And what were the results of this experiment she's been bullied into? From an objective standpoint, she can't say she disliked it... though this is a very different experience compared to Rin. Less complicated. More raw embarrassment. Hard to draw conclusions from... She'll need a larger sample size. ]
... Thank you.
[ She says faintly, though she feels like she should apologize. ]
