Lusamine was no stranger to physical intimacy, but Candela sprinkling her skin with kisses in such a carefree matter felt wildly unfamiliar, like the honeymoon stage of a young love. It was so casual, so affectionate, it made her feel weirdly sheepish in a way that just... Didn’t happen anymore. She couldn’t hold back the almost child-like giggle that escaped her lips, feeling her cheeks begin to burn ever so slightly at this gesture that, surely, would embarrass her in any other context.
“Easy to fluster?” Luasmine repeats, once Candela pulls away. Had it not been for the obvious laugh in her voice, she may have sounded offended by the remark. “Hardly. I just find you to be especially charming.” She smiled, before breaking eye contact to gaze at their Pokemon playing in the sand.
This wasn’t the usual kind of date she was familiar with, which almost made her wonder if that’s what this ‘get-together’ actually was. No expensive dinners at a bourgeois restaurant, no late night drinks at a high-class bar... Just the two of them at the coast, spending time together. It was unusual. A lot of things about their relationship felt unusual to her...
Candela’s comment cut through her thoughts. Emerald eyes widened and a hand was brought to her face, covering her mouth and a portion of her cheek. Her skin felt warm to the touch, and she immediately felt frazzled upon realizing that she was blushing. That’s...
That’s not something that happened to her.
“Well... Thank you,” She began, clearing her throat. “If you ask me, you’re quite gorgeous yourself... As well as a bit of a flirt.” Trying to regain her composure with a playful comment, she smiled back at Candela.
What was it about this relationship that made Lusamine feel so... Timid?
