[He doesn't want her to be uncomfortable. He ... he wants this to feel as good as the rest of the night has.

[She shrugs out of her blouse, shifting beneath him, and when she's managed it, he kisses her - every bit as sweet and gentle as before ...

[But then he starts to roam. Lips trailing kisses along her jawline, a slow slide of his tongue on her neck, a nibble on her collarbone ...

[One of his hands settles on the smooth plain of her stomach. Settling there for a moment before gliding upwards, feather-light, until he's palming one of her breasts.

[Makoto is still as she watches Ren closely, and she releases a breath she didn't know she was holding into a sigh as he kisses along her jaw and down to her collarbone. She feels like she's being showered with affection, but it's so sweet and gentle it doesn't become overwhelming.

So by the time he's touching her breast, she's completely relaxed, cupping his cheek and kissing him. A silent gesture to show that she's comfortable, even that she's enjoying this.]

[Of course it feels like she's being showered with affection. She is.

[He cares about her. This is their first time together. He's not thinking about it consciously -- he's as caught up in the moment as she is -- but he wants this to be special, and for her to feel special.

[She'll feel his lips curl into a little grin against her skin before she cups his cheeks and guides him up to kiss her - something he'll follow along with without any sort of hesitation. His lips find hers again, and the hand on her breast curls - gently squeezing through the fabric of her bra.]

[He's so gentle. And yet she wants to feel more, the padding of her bra getting in the way of the sensation of his touch. Still kissing him, one hand wriggles underneath, and she unclasps her bra for him to remove it.]

[He promised her he would be, and honestly ... he's loving this. Taking it slow, lavishing affection on her, seeing how she reacts .... he could keep that up for a good, long while.

[Not because he doesn't want to go the rest of the way - he absolutely he does ... but it feels good making her feel good.

[He feels her body shift under him - back arching up so she can undo the clasp on her bra. He feels it come loose, he feels her settle back down underneath him, and he doesn't waste any time sitting up and getting into a better position to remove it.

[He's still gentle of course. His hands gently brush over her chest before finding the straps and guiding them down over her shoulders, sitting up straight, slowly working off her bra and tossing it aside.

[Instead of diving right back in, though ... he lingers there. Enjoying the sight. Marveling at her, really.]

God, you're gorgeous.

[She's probably going to be a little embarrassed hearing him say it, but it's true. All you need to do is get one good look at him to see.]

Th-thanks... [Lying back, Makoto is heavily flushed by now as Ren simply looks at her, both with want and a little self-consciousness. She's never exposed herself to anyone like this before, but now she's bare and vulnerable, and not even fully naked yet. She wonders if he can tell how fast her heart is pounding.]

I-it's... nice to show someone the real me.

[Sure, there's Queen and Johanna. They're the real her, but they're also masks of a different kind. Here, she doesn't have any mask at all -- no student council president, phantom thief, little sister of a prosecutor. No expectations. With Ren, she can fully be herself.]

[He understands.

[It's ... it's great going into the Metaverse and being Joker. The first time he pulled off his mask and summoned Arsene was probably the most him he'd ever felt at that point. He felt some of that going back into the real world - a little more day-by-day - but there was still this gulf between him and 'Joker'.

[Maybe that was what was deep inside, all the way down at the very center of him ... but it wasn't the person he was day-to-day. Maybe he had a little more confidence, maybe a little more cheekiness and sarcasm wormed it's way out ... but he was still Ren, just like she was still Makoto and not Queen.

[There were these moments though, around the other Phantom Thieves and around her, where that line wasn't quite so distinct. 'Joker' and 'Ren' blurred together, and he was just ... himself.

[This felt like one of those moments. Where there were no expectations, no need for a mask of any kind ... it was just them, and nothing else.]

I'm glad I'm here to see it.

[And yes, that could very obviously sound dirty, and it probably would in most other circumstances ...

[But no. Ren is being perfectly genuine right now, because honestly?

[He feels really lucky.]

[She giggles, a light and delicate sound, her face tinged pink as she smiles.]

You can... um, keep going, if you want. [Telling her she's gorgeous? Undressing her? Touching her? It's not clear what she means, and she's not exactly sure herself. All three sound good right about now.]

[His grin takes a turn back towards the coquettish, seeing the flush come to her cheeks. It's stupidly cute, and he can't help but feel a certain satisfaction at knowing that he's the one who coaxed that reaction out of her.]

I'm planning on it, trust me.

[He leans down to kiss her again, planting his hands on either side of her. After a second he breaks the kiss, and nudges her chin up for better access to her neck.]

I've been waiting for this for way too long not to make the most of this.

[A kiss under the line of her jaw, a scrape of his teeth on her neck, another nip a little further down, just past her collarbone.

[He leans on to his right hand a little more heavily, freeing up his left to caress her outer thigh.]
