Rigel watched as Susan nervously looked around the room. Her face was heated as she examined the runes on the floor.
"Trust me, I'm not sacrificing your soul to a demon or something," Rigel joked, attracting Susan's glare.
"Fine, fine, do your thing," Rigel muttered as he walked over to one side and started taking off his school robe.
...
"Can you wait just a moment?" Susan sighed after a while, her eyes peeking at Rigel's.
"What?" Rigel asked. He was a little confused about the interruption. Both of them were perfectly aware that they needed to be naked for this...right?
She sighed as she walked over. She displayed firm determination as she came close—into his personal space—and then her arms went around Rigel's head, pulling him in for a kiss. He was decidedly stunned, but not for long, as his arms circled around her waist, and he reciprocated in kind.
It was an unexpected surprise, but one that Rigel would accept. Still, he didn't go overboard; he just held her. The kiss was brief. It lasted barely a couple of moments as Susan pulled back. Her face flushed, and her eyes remained closed.
