"I read on the internet that they all make out," Tomo says authoritatively, gesturing to the magazines scattered across Sakuno's floor. The pages are covered with pictures of the boys of KAT-TUN, NewS, and Arashi, all of them sparkly and touching each other in ways that make Sakuno feel a little nervous and squirmy. Her eyes widen and she looks at Tomo.
"They do what?" Sakuno asks, nervously glancing between Tomo and the pictures of the boys.
"They kiss! And sometimes they even do-" Tomo lowers her voice and leans in conspiratorially, "other stuff."
Sakuno chooses to ignore the little flip-flops in her stomach when she thinks about what "other stuff" could mean, and instead asks Tomo where she read this. Tomo pulls Sakuno over to her computer and pulls up a website, dense with text. Sakuno skims it, seeing things like "Jin pushes Kame against the wall, kissing him passionately" and "Ohno runs his fingers tenderly through Nino's hair, pulling him close." She turns to Tomo and says, slowly, "this stuff's not real, though, right?"
Tomo shrugs. "Who cares, it's hot, right?"
Sakuno blushes. She's never really thought about stuff like that, but Tomo seemed so knowledgeable that she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she just nodded, staring at her hands in her lap.
Tomo doesn't seem to notice Sakuno's nervousness, and she's moved back to the magazines strewn on the floor. "I think I like Kame and Jin together best," she's saying casually. Sakuno thinks this makes sense, though. Tomo's always liked KAT-TUN the best. Sometimes they make Sakuno nervous, though. She likes NewS and Arashi better. KAT-TUN has scared her a little ever since she found that video of -- well, there were actually a few videos that scared her.
Sakuno slides down from the chair onto the floor, picking up one of the magazines. She's still blushing profusely, and Tomo looks over at her and giggles. "Come on, Sakuno, don't tell me you haven't thought about--" Tomo stops, thinking about the way Sakuno acts around Ryoma-sama, or around any boy for that matter. Tomo smiles. This is just another wonderful opportunity for her to take Sakuno under her wing and impart some of the sage knowledge that she has gathered in her 12 years on earth. She leans over and puts her arm around Sakuno, pulling her in close. "It's okay to think they're hot, you know?" She says quietly.
Sakuno bites her lip and feels the prickling of further redness in her face. "But... two boys..."
Tomo laughs. "Boys think two girls is hot, too. I read it on the internet." Tomo is proud of her mastery of the internet. It tells her about lots of things she wouldn't know otherwise.
"But... I don't get it..." Sakuno says, getting ever more flustered. She wriggles out of Tomo's grasp, smoothing her skirt free of wrinkles.
"I don't really get it either," Tomo admits, "but I know I like it."
Sakuno's not sure if she's understanding this right. Did Tomo just say she liked two girls together, too? Or was she still talking about boys? Sakuno struggles to figure out which one she would have preferred Tomo to be talking about, but she can't come up with an answer that doesn't make her squirm. Her palms are sweating, and she wipes them slowly and nervously on the carpet. Tomo has turned her attention back to the magazines, but she soon leans over to show Sakuno a particularly nice shot of NewS all shirtless and laying on each other on the beach.
"The more boys the better, huh Sakuno-chan?" Tomo says with a giggle.
Sakuno takes a breath, face serious. "Did you mean earlier... I mean... when you said you like it... did you mean boys together, or... girls?" She barely manages the last word; it comes out as more of a squeak.
Tomo looks thoughtful for a moment. "I'd never really thought about girls before." She shrugs. "Can't hurt to give it a chance though, right?" And then Tomo's leaning really close and brushing her lips against Sakuno's. Sakuno freezes up. Her first thought is that this is her first kiss. Her second thought is that maybe she should be an active participant. She doesn't want to have a bad first kiss memory. It takes until after they've parted before Sakuno thinks oh my god, I just kissed a girl.
When Sakuno opens her eyes, Tomo is staring at her, eyebrows raised. "That wasn't bad," she announces, "but you really should work on being more responsive. Let's try again." She leans back in before Sakuno can say anything in protest.
The second kiss catches Sakuno less off guard, but she still doesn't really know what to do. When Tomo's tongue pokes out and swipes across her bottom lip, though, Sakuno responds instinctively, letting her mouth fall open slightly and making a little whimpering sound. Tomo lifts a hand to brush through Sakuno's hair; the feeling of fingertips on her scalp, massaging lightly and slowly, unwinds a lot of the tension that's been building in Sakuno ever since the start of this conversation. She tilts her head back, leaning into Tomo's hand. Tomo watches Sakuno's reaction for a moment, brings her other hand up to do the same. She leans in again with a smile, pressing a kiss to the side of Sakuno's mouth.
Since Sakuno seems too absorbed to concentrate on more kissing, Tomo crawls forward, pushing Sakuno onto her back with more force than Sakuno expects from her. She finds herself laying there with Tomo hovering above her, looking for a split second like she doesn't know what to do next. True to form, however, Tomo comes up with something quickly enough. She rolls her hips slowly down against Sakuno's, making her shudder, half from nervousness and half from... something else she doesn't really want to figure out right now. Sakuno worms her way out from under Tomo and asks, face red, "what... what was that?"
"Oh, that?" Tomo says casually, "That's just something I picked up from watching videos of Jin." She smiles and flashes a victory sign.
Sakuno thinks maybe she likes KAT-TUN more than she thought, after all.
