Back to Normal (Open)

Yumi snickered a little as her new friend got a little embaressed by the idea of plushes being made for them, but it was definitely a cute and winning idea in Yumi’s own head, perking up with a bright smile shooting back over her shoulder at her friend, though with the idea of her getting her own toys, she shook her head with a smirk. “I’d probably just get ecchi models made of me or something. I mean I’m not exactly gonna hide the fact I’m an anime nerd if it comes up, so it’d be the perfect marketing opportunity. Yeah there’s gonna be little models of me posing like this-“ She cocked her hips to one side, her body leaning to the other, and her head looking off with a distant expression to the same side as her hip, still hodling her fluffy buddy on her back, posing like a model till she broke down into giggles. “In the bedroom of some horny teenage fan.~” And of course a few respectable fans too, but she was more than happy to make the easy joke and giggle at her own expense. Besides, those kinda fans were as respectable as the others really. It wasn’t like she had any shame or misconceptions about how a girl like her might be marketed in the future.

She blinked a little at the tug of her clothes as more of the fabric scrunched up into his paws, glancing to him and wondering if he was okay or about to fall or anything, but smiled warmly as his experession and words made it clear he was just trying to reassure her. “Hey it’s okay…I mean, it’s a bit of a bummer I won’t make a great rescue hero, being coated in lightning and all, but…I know I’ll still be a great hero all the same. And ya know what…maybe you’re right, maybe I do master the parts of my quirk that could be used for rescue, but for now at least I’m focusing on what my quirk is good for, and being a great hero in that respect. Sound good?~” She asked, as if he was the one who was more upset over this than herself, hoping he’d feel a little better knowing she wasn’t upset about it herself, even if it did used to bother her a lot.

She beamed a little softer, definitely worried she pushed a line there. She’d gotten a little too used to being openly intimate with new people it seemed, and the fluffy plushy nature of her new friend had easily made her far too comfortable around him too quickly. She did see he at least took it well, but reached a hand around both their backs (as awkward as that positioning was) to give him a reassuring hug. “Don’t worry, won’t happen again okay? I mean…Ideal situation you might be comfortable enough some day to let me do that but er…yeah. I’m just…naturally intimate and er…I need to rememeber not everyone’s the same. Sorry again.” She was a lot more settled herself, still just faintly worried she’d made him uncomfortable, and it showed in her expression towards him.

Yumi calmed down a little as she took a sip from her own drink. Usually the kind to chug a drink herself but she could never do that with coco. A warm cup of milky tea perhaps, but coco, no matter what brand she got, always had the weirdest aftertaste she couldn’t handle if she took in too much at once. Maybe hoping it would make her friend more comfortable, she gently eased him off her back and onto a nearby bench so that they could sit together, and be at least a little closer to eye level as they did.
She chuckled brightly, feeling a lot more at ease as he talked about floofing in the shower. She briefly got the urge to tease him, but bit her tongue on the matter. He was already flustered enough, filling his head with the idea of her wanting to share the shower with him to see him get all cute and drenched wasn’t the best idea surely. “Hehehe, d-don’t worry. My roomates practically a wild animal. You could literally dry off like a dog and you wouldn’t create as much of a mess as she does.”

Thinking about it though, this had been his jog, and if Yumi was being nice…”Yeah it has been nice…hey, as good as this coco is, why don’t you come to my dorm now? My roomates been away a while anyway so we’re not disturbing anyone. You can use my shower and I can slap together a nice lunch for you or something. Sound good?”

Yumi felt that sudden tense vibration against her back as her new friend seemed so flustered by her comments abut having echi models made of her. Really Yumi didn’t mind so much, she had no shame about her body or the like so she’d said it without thought, but she was learning with each passing interaction that her friend appeared to be a bit sensitive to this sort of stuff and she was careful to keep their lips shut till they were sitting together, at which point she’d silently listen to him explain his situation. She flinched a little as he almost called himself a freak and lowered her own eyes as she listened and thought for a moment. Her quirk had it’s own alienating issues in her infancy. No one wanted to play with the kid who gave them static shocks. It was a skinner box effect at it’s fullest driving other people away from her, but now with it under control, she could choose how and when she used it. A mutation like him didn’t have the same choice, not even close, and so Yumi couldn’t even dare to begin to think how it felt to be in his position…

She pulled her leg up onto the bench, turning to address him more directly as she faced him, taking a long deep breath before she spoke, able to tell from his shift in mood at her offer to come with her that this weighed on him a lot more than he may have wanted to outright show, and she of all people could related to that at least.

“Look I…I cannot even begin to understand how it feels, and I’ll outright admit I do see you differently. I wanted to pick you up and cuddle you-“ Heck she wanted to do that with everyone who’d let her but she knew this was different. “But…I know you’re a person and you deserve a bit more respect than being treated like a living plush. At the same time though…you are a person, and already I hope we’re gonna be good friends going forward. Your mutation might always be a factor, sure, but I mean…” She gestured over herself with a sheepish smile. “I think you can admit too you might treat me just a liiiittle different than some other people based on my looks right? Even if only a little?”

She let out a slow breath through her nose, knowing she may be getting off track a little already and tried to refocus herself. “But, I can’t really help in how others see you, some may see you as more plush than person but…at the very least I promise that isn’t the case with me.” She smiled weakly for a moment, and while she knew it potentially made him uncomfortable, she leaned over, brushed his ears back down the back of his head, and lightly pecked his lips. “I don’t do that with plushies…” She tipped her head with a smirk. “Not much at least.”

She knew he seemed uncomfortable with intimacy, so she made sure to quickly pull back. “Sorry just…like I said I have no borders when it comes to intimacy, I just..thought that would be a nice way to encourage you? I dunno just…” She sighed and chuckled. “Aaaah maybe I’m just weird I…yeah. Best of intentions there but I’m sorry if it bothered you just…you’re more than just some plush to me at least okay? I think we’ll be great friends, and if it makes you uncomfortable, I promise I won’t make you one of my kissy friends again…I just thought it’d make a point and I…kinda hope it did?”

She looked at him a little hopefully, hoping her sense of intimacy had at least broken through and made her intentions clear enough to be received.

Yumi felt the thumping paw vibrate through her a little and was a little alarmed by the very animalistic reaction to, what in her opinion was a very innocent little peck even by her standards. She blinked a little, wondering if he was okay before he started to explain, but the fact he'd never had a real kiss before definitely helped to settle things a little. She never really held much value in 'first times' herself but she definitely recognized how much others could, even if she struggled to fully empaphize with that. She adjusted him a little on her back as they walked so they could easily keep communicating, and as he seemed to be hinting that he definitely wouldn't mind being one of her Kissy friends, Yumi stopped and hooked him about her, holding him at her front just to better address him.

"We can totally be kissy friends if you want. I am serious I just...I don't get why that stuff is a boyfriend girlfriend thing or whatever? Its just a nice cozy thing and it shows you care about someone, so why not do it with a friend if they're comfortable with it." She adjusted so she could hold him with one arm and pressed the finger of her other hand to the tip of his snout / lips as she paused for a moment. "However, that's up to you. We just met, and while I'm totally comfortable with it, don't rush yourself okay? Like, to be clear we'd just be friends, I just...yeah. I'm going in circles here, but I think that's okay for friends, if you're okay with it." She put her other arm back under him and smiled warmly and sweetly, definitely not messing with him.

"If thats what you want, it's okay, and I'd happily be your first case. On the other hand if you wanna wait, maybe be cuddly buddies, or even just normal friends, that's okay too!~ It all depends what YOU'RE comfortable with. We on the same page?"

Yumi listened with a warm smile, careful not to say anything rude or the like, but tipped her weight back a little so she could better view the eyes of the rabbit boy in her arms. He was explaining how he could get a little...antsy, and as it started to click with Yumi she couldn't help but giggle, actually finding it really funny but forcing herself to stop, blushing kinda deeply as that hit such a weird nerve for her. "Geeze just be lucky you don't actually go into heat I guess...I mean I guess this kinda counts but when you're in heat you don't exactly have a choice." She snickered for a few seconds more but placed a hand over her mouth to force herself to stop and take a breath. "Ah sorry, sorry sorry sorry just...honestly i just find that so weirdly cute I don't wanna upset you really." She had managed to stop giggling and managed to calm herself to the point she just had a warm smile on her lips.

As he went on to make it clear he'd definitely be fine with her taking his first kiss, she offered a warm smile, not about to take it from him right now but quietly accepting his nuzzling motions. He definitely had a lot of human in him, but a lot of rabbit too, and it made such a sweet and cute comination. Adjusting his weight in her arms she just shared a quiet moment with him and enjoyed the warmth radiating from his little body. "Okay...how about we go back to my room then. I'll let you wash off after your little training aaaand...then, once you're all dry and cozy, we'll see how you feel okay?" She wasn't trying to dissuade him or anything, she just wanted him to be fully comfortable before he stuck to his decision here. "Heck I have a few candles in my dorm if you want it to be a memorable first kiss.~" She winked, this time actually joking a little. "Seriously though, it'll be fun, but if anything gets too uncomfortable for you, just say the word and it stops okay?" She offered another warm smile and sweeped the bunny boy back around to her back and hoisting him back into place, pushing along to the dorms and maybe with a bit of a skip to her step now that she had something to look forward to.

Yumi blushed a little when Jisatsu made it clear he kinda was in heat, but she took it seriously beyond a brief spike in her smirk. If he was telling her that information he was good enough to be honest and she took it on board. "Okay, but just to be clear, we'd just kiss. If you seem a little...'eager', I'm gonna stop things. I don't get comfortable with people THAT quickly, so just keep that in mind yourself of course. If ya can.~" She was still chipper about it of course, she was just ready to make sure that there was a line to be drawn if they needed it. Other than that though she was totally game and picked up the pace a little towards her own room, wondeirng in the back of her mind what he'd think of her room.

Though, when he gave his 'thanks', she was a little bewildered what he meant for a moment before it kicked in. Honestly she'd only caught on because she'd heard a similar line in one of her anime. "O-oh! Oh erm...don't think about it okay? It's nothing special...everyone else is just a jackass for not seeing you." She smiled warmly over her shoulder just as she reached her dorm the next floor up. "Okay, hang on a sec I need to find my keys." She probably felt a brief weight on her back when she had to let him go and search her pockets, taking out her keys and pushing in through her door. With Aki tending to sleep outside most nights her own decorating took over. The anime posters pretty clear, though one or two were definitely ecchi in nature. There was even a cozy, borderline ecchi print on a body pillow layed out on her bed, making Yumi blush a little as she suddenly recalled she hadn't cleaned up before she left.

"Er...ignore the mess, I er...I usually stuff that under my bed when I'm not here." Clearing her throat she lowered down Jisatsu to his feet and gestured to the bathroom door. "Shower's through there. We keep our soaps on the floor of the shower so nothing should be hard for ya to reach." She then pointed a thumb back towards her own bed and the drawers beside it. "I don't feel so comfortable in my thermals so I'm gonna change if ya don't mind?"

Assuming he was okay with it, Yumi would let him have his shower and start to strip out of her clothes, though really not much changed by the time he came back out. Her thermal top and leggings where gone. She still had on her cargo shorts and her chest-length hoodie afterard, though under the hoodie she was just wearing a tank top instead now that her thermals were gone. By the time Jisatsu was done, she was just leaning her back against the side of her bed, idly toying with her phone, glancing over to him with a smile as he came out, her hair down from it's usual ponytail. "Soooo...how ya feelin nice and refreshed?"

Yumi blushed a little herself at the compliments to her decoration. She wasn’t ashamed of it herself she just knew some people could be unnerved by items like…well ecchi posters, figurines, or of course the body pillows she tended to keep stored under her bed. She did make sure to stuff that away even if her new friend seemed to be rather open to it, and simply gave an “Aw you’re sweet, but really I just slap up whatever I feel like. I don’t really have an eye for fashion or design, just…if I like an anime and I find a cool poster of it, it goes up, ya know?” She kept a warm smile on her lips as she let her bunny buddy head off to grab a shower in her bathroom.

When he finally came out Yumi’s smile was as present as ever and she made sure to open up to him warmly as he took his little seat down beside her, though from experience she got the vibe he was…maybe not antsy, but a bit more on the side of ‘unsure’. They both kinda knew what was coming, if he was comfortable with it, but in the current mood it was hard for her to tell if he was nervous to start, or if he felt he’d gotten ‘too deep’ and couldn’t say no now, so as he described getting himself comfortable and relaxed, Yumi decided to make everything a little easier on him, picking up his floofy body and sitting him on her lap, gazing down at him with tender eyes and gently running her fingers through his freshly fluffed fur, just getting herself cozy and trying to relax him further while making it clear she was still open to everything going forward.

“Well…now that you’re all fresh and clean…you still wannaaaa…?” She let the question linger, her smile making it clear she wasn’t against it in the slightest, but with a softness to it that could easily take a no or another rejection if the bunny boy had for any reason suddenly became uncomfortable with the idea. She was a little excited to see what it might feel like, given how little there was of him to cuddle as they did, and also she wasn’t sure how it would feel with the fur around his lips and the like, but rather than initial repulsion or the like, she had only curiosity as she met his eyes, patiently awaiting his answer.

She watched his goot subtly twitch like it was about to begin thumping away, and couldn’t stop a little giggle managing to escape her lips. He was such a cutie and she didn’t want to demean him in any way, but the reality was what it was. He was a cute little bunny boy and a part of Yumi just couldn’t quite handle that without something slipping out. She continued to run her fingertips through his fluffy fur and made sure to shower the boy in her arms with quiet and delicate affection as he found out where he was most comfortable, her gaze gentle and sweet as her amber eyes met his own and continued to feel the warmth radiating through his fur and into her fingertips, a part of her just wanting to lean in and kiss him now with how cute he was and how comfortable she was, but she had self restraint…most of the time, and made sure to hold herself back with a few quiet and calming breaths to keep her head focused on what was important. Making sure he was comfortable above all else before worrying about herself.

“Hmmm…that’s fair. I mean don’t get me wrong, I definitely wanna touch this floofy little coating of yours, but mostly I just wanna…I dunno.” She tipped her head back, her loosened hair spreading a little across the bed behind her as she hummed and tried to think of a word for it. “I don’t think there’s a good word to put it all into one…and ‘shower you in affection’ seems a little heavy for our first meeting but…” She took one of his paws in her hand, lifting it and kissing the back of his hand quietly before wrapping her arms about him and simply hugging him again, sharing a gentle gaze with him as she continued in a delicate voice, picking her words carefully, while avoiding overthinking every last one. “I just want you to feel comfortable. To feel safe and warm and cozy, and maybe just a little bit pleased when my fingers run through your fair just right…it’s what I want for pretty much everyone around me. I just need them to feel warm and cozy and comfortable, and if at any point that’s not how you feel, you just need to tell me. Okay?~” She offered a warm and sweet smile as she squeezed the little bunny boy in her arms ever so sweetly.

Okay, so he just didn’t know where to start huh? She chuckled as he used those specific terms but tried not to be rude about it, her shoulders pulling in with a tiny little giggle to follow as she gently toyed with the fur clinging to his back. “There’s no proper way to go about it hun. The most important thing is that you make sure everyone’s comfortable about it. You can be gentle, you can be rough, you can be fast you can be slow…everyone has their own tastes and I’m happy to meet whatever yours is.” She felt the tail wrap about her leg and smirked a little as she glanced to it, feeling his nerves and excitement rolling into one, and a delicate hand gliding through the fur of his cheek. “Tell you what…I’ll start, and you just tell me what works okay? We can try whatever you feel is good.”

And with that, she’d lean in to close the distance, delicately wrapping her lips around the lips of the bunny in her lap. The slight tickle she got from the fur around his mouth was definitely a new sensation but in no way an unwelcome one, taking a slow breath that raised her chest and lowered it again as she exhaled through her nose. The single kiss wasn’t the end of it, and starting slow so he could find the motions and follow her lead, she’d work his lips with some clear experience, not just in singular talent, but the bunny could probably guess this wasn’t the only first kiss she’d taken…in fact with how well she was offering him the chances to catch up and learn from her physical guidance, he probably wasn’t even in the first ten.
