(I think I fell asleep like half through writing mine so probably didn't help at all lol)

The girl couldn't help her laugh when the boy let out his little breath of air. It was definitely a little amusing to hear... but nice all the same. She pressed a couple of light kisses to his lips and one to his nose before sitting back ever so slightly and giving him a grin as she tugged on the end of his shirt. "Can we lose the shirt?" She asked with a playful little giggle, clearly very... how to put this, excited. She'd been excited before, of course, she had, but even more so now that he'd reassured her he wanted more too.

(loll, that's funny. I was busy so mine probably didn't make too much sense either haha)

Sage kissed the girl back happily before nodding with a light him in response to the girls question, shifting so she could slide it off of his shoulders easily and toss it to the side. The girl's giggle was amusing, but it was nice to know she was excited about this all....and the scars wouldn't bother her, he knew, which was nice. He was just as excited as the girl was, admittedly, and his heart was beating about a mile a minute by then. It took effort to keep his breathing controlled, too.

(Yours was all good! I just did the same thing and wrote exited instead of excited about five times lmfao)

Mari smiled softly when the boy shifted so that she could slip the shirt off his body... really, her heart was only beating faster and faster as time went on. She let her eyes graze over his body for just a moment and she couldn't help but let her grin get even bigger. She knew well enough about his scars, but she didn't seem to fuss about those right now. More so about the fact that she had a boy right in front of her, who loved her in a way she'd never felt before... it was definitely nice. There wasn't a person in the world that wouldn't think this was nice. She let her fingers trail back up his body before hooking her arms around his shoulders and pulling him in for a slightly deeper kiss... if he wanted, he could move things along a little bit... she wouldn't at all care.

Sage noted the girls grin at the sigh of his chest, so really he couldn't help the blush that covered his face. He felt a chill run up and down his spine at the girl's eyes, her sigh seeming to burn his skin wherever it went...in a good way of course. When the girl went in for a deeper kiss again, he reached forward to wrap his arms around her. Of course, he also fell back into his back, since he was no longer holding himself up...but he figured the girl wouldn't mind. He kissed her back happily, more than happy to go along with whatever the girl wanted.

The girl squeaked a little bit when the boy fell back... it was mostly out of surprise than anything. It was nice, though. She relaxed into him a little bit so that their chests were pressing lightly against each other. She shifted her hand from around his shoulders and let it rest lightly on the side of his neck, while the other kind of moved to loosen the back of her dress off so that it could come off without a hassle if that was what he wanted.. to be honest, it didn't really need to come off, but it could if that was what he wanted. She wanted to explore him a little bit more... but she was still keenly aware of the fact that there wasn't much separating them from the rest of the ward.

Sage pressed himself up into the girl lightly when she pressed her own chest into his. He noted her movements loosen the back of her dress, though she was still kissing, exploring a bit, so he decided they could wait a bit to make the next step come to life. Besides, this was enjoyable too...the rest would all come naturally he knew, so why rush it? The rest had been slow, so this could be too...there was nothing wrong with that. He did suppose he should find a secret place they could do this without worrying about someone walking in on them...somewhere with a door that could be locked would probywork best. But he could worry about that later. None of the patients ever came near his little room, and the doctor had been leaving them alone...so it would be alright.

Mari felt a kind of thrill run up and down her spine when the boy pressed into her. It was definitely a good thing... something she hadn't felt in a while. It was a small movement... and there wasn't much behind it, but for some reason it just made her heart flutter. She smiled softly before moving her kisses towards his jaw a little bit... her hand was still trailing along the side of his neck, but she couldn't help but note the scarring there... there was definitely a lot of it. She wondered how in earth that'd happened, but that thought was fleeting, because she was soon enough more focused on exploring his body just a little bit more... if he wanted to wait, that was fine... they had all the time in the world.

Sage sort of just let the girl do as she pleased..moving kisses around, and trailing her fingers around his neck. Anywhere she touched seemed to be electric, and he was more than happy with the way things were going. He supposed it would be nice to explore a bit, before going right to all the heavy stuff. The girl seemed to agree too, since this was what was happening, and really this was just as good as the more intimate things they'd get to later. Besides, he wanted the girl to get to know his body...Anya had grown to know all his soft spots well, so Mari could too. Besides, knowing him that well made it more enjoyable for both of them...not that this wasn't enjoyable, but he knew that he was..vocal...and it was probably something the girl wanted to find on her own anyway. So, he let her explore, keeping himself open to her touches and kisses, and kept his arms wrapped around her loosely but firmly.

Mari kept on trailing light kisses around him for a little while longer... a couple of them trailed around gigs jaw, and she couldn't help but venture down to his chest and collar. This was slow... it wasn't a bad thing necessarily, but it was a little bit slow as she tried to figure his body out a little bit better. She wasn't getting much back... so she supposed she wasn't doing a super great job. She'd have to search him whenever she could. It might not be this time around.... but she'd get it, she would. She couldn't help her grin when the boy wrapped his hands around her back... it was really quite nice to be held like that, in a way she was struggling to explain. Like it was reassuring her to keep on going, in some way. She started to play around with dropping her body lower down to him... putting a bit more pressure here and there, just to se how he'd like it... it might not be his thing, so she just wanted to see how it all was.

Sage tilted his head slightly as the girl trailed her kisses lower down his body, the dumb grin still on his face. He could tell she was still trying to read him...explore a bit, figure out what worked. This was all wonderful, of course, but he could tell she was waiting for a reaction from him. His breathing hitched slightly when she pressed more weight down on him...he did like that, he'd figured that much out before too. Really, he liked the gentle things, yes, but he supposed the harsher was better as long as it was passionate. He didnt mind nipping or heavy weight or kisses, or touches....in fact it was all quite nice. He supposed his slight reactutold Mari that, though, too. After a while of her explooaround his collar bone, he sort of chuckled and breathed out "you can ask for a hint" in a rather amused tone of voice, hoping the girl would find something soon...he had plenty of soft spots, so really if he gave one away a bit, they got the best of both worlds.
