First Kiss Meme



one. It's your first date, and you're dropping them off at the door. Are they going to lean in? Should you..?

two. You have been friends since forever. Everyone knows you like each other, but the moment quite hasn't arisen for the first kiss. Until now.

three. Awkward first kisses! Maybe you just bumped noses, or you kissed their chin instead. Time for attempt number two!

four. Maybe this is your very first kiss, or maybe it's theirs! Either way, one of you is experienced and the other isn't. What if it turns out really bad?! (But hey, maybe you're a natural.)

five. The accidental kiss. Might have tripped over your own feet, or maybe you've collided and they landed on top of you. Either way, your lips are locked- Where you go from there is up to you.

six. UST kisses. There's been some sort of tension between you for a while. Maybe you fight all the time, maybe you're in love with each other and you keep getting interrupted before anything happens. Either way, that tension needs to end now!

seven. Either pick one, mesh some together, re-roll, or create your own!

Getting together?

[Penny echoes, resting her hands in her lap.

She studies them for a long minute, her expression stern. Then, she looks over to Yang.]

Why do they have their faces pressed together like that? Is that what you mean by "getting together"?

[nailed_it]

[That question wrings an odd look out of Yang. Seriously??]

Uhhh...no, that's just kissing.

[You know, she was going to laugh this off as another of Penny's weird quirks but that's just too strange for her.]

...You've never seen anyone kiss before?

[saluutations]

[She shakes her head quickly, causing her curls to bounce.]

I have not! ...What is it, exactly? If you don't mind me asking.

[nailed_it]

[Wow.]

Welllll, it's usually a way of showing affection for somebody you like.

[Or a way of getting somebody to lower their guard so you can send them through a window but let's focus on that first way.]

You lean in close and touch lips together.

[saluutations]

Oh, I see!

[She grins and nods in understanding, looking back over at the couple. So like a handshake, or a hug? That's interesting. Also something she has never seen, or experienced.]

So, like this?

[Without warning, Penny leans over and takes Yang by the shoulders, giving her a firm kiss on the lips.]

[nailed_it]

[Well that is definitely something that Yang Xiao Long did not see coming.

The kiss takes her completely by surprise, unexpected enough that she's too stunned to even think of pushing Penny away or anything of the sort. Instead, she just sort of sits there, a tad shell-shocked.

Until...]

...What was that??

[She shouts that a little, but she just sounds way more confused than angry.]

[saluutations]

[Penny pulls away carefully, watching Yang's expression to see how she did. When she shouts, though, she at first assumes that she did a fair job. After all, the couple was shouting, weren't they?]

A kiss! Did I do it right, Yang?

[nailed_it]

[Yang stares at her blankly, still trying to process what had happened.]

But you-! I-!

[...]

...Well, yeah, actually that was pretty good.

[There's a momentary glance aside as if she's considering that fact a little longer before she snaps back out of it.]

But why did you kiss me?

[She's just...trying to figure out how she got to this point. Usually she's really good at catching flirting cues, which road sign did she miss here?]

[saluutations]

Oh, that is good! And, well...

[She pauses a moment, tilting her head again.]

You said people kiss to show affection, yes? And I figured, if I was Ruby's friend...you would be my friend, too.

Unless that is a problem, of course!

[She adds quickly, shaking her head.]

[nailed_it]

[Well, shoot, she did say that, didn't she?]

Well, no, that's not a problem. ...We can be friends.

[...She guesses. ...Okay.]

But usually you kiss somebody you've known a little longer. You know...somebody you really like?

[This is the strangest conversation she's ever had. And that includes that time she tried to give Ruby "the Talk". How sheltered is this girl??]

[saluutations]

Oh. I see.

[She folds her hands in her lap again, bouncing her legs a little as she averts her gaze.]

I just figured that was an okay thing to do. You know, like...a hug, or something. I apologize!

[nailed_it]

Nah, you're fine. You just...surprised me is all.

[At least Yang's mostly recovered from her shock by now. Really Penny should be given an award; it's been ages since somebody was able to surprise her quite like that.

She looks up thoughtfully trying to find a simple way to put this given how Penny seems to have no point of reference for this.]

It is kinda like when you hug somebody. It's usually like...a step above hugging? You know, handshakes and stuff when you first get introduced. Then hugs when you become friends. And then kissing when you know you both like each other.

[Of course, these are more like guidelines than rules. ...Neither of which Yang really follows all the time anyway but...]

[saluutations]

[Penny is quiet as she listens, her expression fiercely concentrated as she seems to be trying to absorb and understand everything that Yang is telling her.]

Okay...well, when you put it that way, that makes perfect sense!

[...Almost.]

But, do not friends like each other, usually? Or else you are not friends, right?

[nailed_it]

[...]

...Well, yeah, usually. But there's liking somebody as a friend and then there's liking someone as more than just a friend.

[This is starting to sound like playground children talk to her. Let's just go out on a limb here...]

You know, like when you love someone?

[saluutations]

[Penny is quiet for a moment, watching Yang with a gaze that is serious and unblinking.]

...L..ove?

[She's learned a lot- a lot- but her father has yet to sit her down and talk about the more serious things of life, such as love, or romance, or anything of that sort.

Naturally, it stops at friendship for Penny. She doesn't fully understand anything beyond that.]

[nailed_it]

[Yang's just gonna...stare for a good moment.

Penny's either the most sheltered girl she's ever met or the saddest. Because really...wow.]

Yyyeah, love. Like, when you really really care about somebody?

[She raises an eyebrow, frowning a little at Penny, but her tone is all sympathy.]

You seriously don't know what love is?

[saluutations]

..I do not.

[She frowns, her shoulders drooping a bit.]

I'm sorry, Yang. There are...quite a few things I don't know. But I'm still learning! Or...trying to, at least.

[nailed_it]

[Awwwww...

She pauses and then puts an arm around the Penny's shoulders comfortingly.]

Hey, that's okay. This is actually some pretty complicated stuff.

[Can't get a more difficult concept to explain than love.

She grins.]

Luckily, I happen to have quite a bit of experience when it comes to love. And I'd be happy to tell you everything I know.

[...Yang, no.]

[saluutations]

You...you really would, Yang?

[She seems a bit hesitant, but also eager to learn at the same time.]

[nailed_it]

Of course!

[She stands up off the bench, still grinning as she gestures for Penny to follow.]

Come on, we'll walk and talk.

[...Penny's father is probably not going to be happy with the information she's inevitably going to come home with after this.]

[saluutations]

Oh! Thank you so much!

[She's on her feet in a flash, bouncing on her heels. It's probably taking a lot for her not to sweep Yang into one of her infameous rib-crushing hugs.]

I cannot wait to learn everything there is to know about love!

[nailed_it]

Hey, you're welcome. Friends help friends out.

[Yang, you are the worst kind of friend.

She smiles, and then looks up in thought as they start walking off.]

Let's see, where to begin...

[Her words are punctuated by a tap of a finger to her chin as she decides just how she wants to go about this.]

Okay! Well, for starters, there's actually more than one kind of love...

[Aaand already this is off to a fantastic terrible start.]

[saluutations]

Oooh...more than one?

[Penny watches Yang curiously out of the corner of her eye, tilting her head to the side.]

I would very much like to hear about them all!
