Aww, that's okay. Raven gives a slightly awkward nuzzle, accepting Ren's closeness, even if they are currently sitting on ice. "I assume this doesn't count toward the wager..."

Shiro can't help but peck back. Affection! He likes affection. "But of the two of us, you're the one gifted with a silver tongue."

Hmm. Wager...did they have one? Something about...something. "What if I gave you another kiss?"

Wormwood pokes his tongue out, the red tip visible through his odd lips and teeth. "I can assure you - it's far from silver of any kind. But if you need a demonstration, I'm happy to provide."

Demonstration. Tongue. Demonstration... Shiro's face turns even redder than before, defying all logic. "W-well... I wouldn't say no..."

Damn it. They're so... Raven's face scrunches up for a moment, but... But! Ren. Kisses. Ren kisses are good. "Another kiss is acceptable, yes."

"Let's get somewhere comfier..." Ren stands up and takes a step--

"ACK!"

--and falls flat on his face.

He stares at the ground, accusingly. Why did it betray him...?

Oh, it's ice. They're in the rink.

"Mgh." He grunts in protest at the current state of affairs.

Wormwood stifles a laugh at Ren, scooping up Shiro and skating over. "You'll get there eventually, I believe."

"Mgh."

Oh. That's awkward. Very awkward.

Raven tries standing, much more slowly, so as not to fall, and tentatively offers a hand. "Do you need some help?"

Shiro happily lets Wormwood hold him. It's so dramatic, so gentlemanly. "It's all right. No one will judge you."

"He will," Ren grumbles at Wormwood, who laughs in response.

"Only because you will," Wormwood reminds him.

Ren grumbles and mumbles and presses his palms flat to the ice, hefting himself up.

It's okay, Ren. Goro's right here, and he's offering his hand again. "Don't let him get to you. If he gives you a hard time, he'll have to deal with me."

"That's the worst part," Ren grumbles. "He doesn't push me too far."

"It's almost like I know your limits...and when you aren't being true to yourself."

Grunt. "Let's go sit down."

As he's walking off the ice, he catches Wormwood's gaze. Do it, he says. I dare you.

And...yeah. He turns to Goro. "It looks like I've lost the bet. My pride is so wounded...but the least you could do is...^{kiss it better}..."

His face is so, so red. Kill him now. Except don't, because. Kiss.

Oh. Oh, that's Ren flirting. Ren flirting and asking for a kiss.

His cheeks won't stop feeling so warm. His heart's fluttering like it's been infested with a swarm of butterflies, but. Sitting. Sitting side by side. He places a hand over Ren's and, um. Another on Ren's cheek? This seems reasonable.

So... "As you wish." Lips? Meeting. Right now.

Yes!!! Ren grabs Goro and kisses back, one hand in Goro's hair and the other around his back.

Goro leans into the touch, savoring the kiss. He's... not quite sure what else to do here, but that's okay. They're still learning.

His verdict: Kissing good.

Ren would agree. Kissing good. He moves his lips against Goro's, since that feels good...

Okay. This is fine. He'll... do the same?

Shiro watches this all with a wistful sigh. "I'm glad they've figured it out."

"Isn't it lovely?" Wormwood giggles and dips Shiro. "I couldn't have done it without you, my dear." He pecks kisses along Shiro's jaw. "My lovely."

Oh, yeah, that feels good. Ren's hand clutches into Goro's side...mmmmph.

Shiro wraps his arms around Wormwood, savoring all the kisses. "My demon of the night..."

There are probably other things they could do, but Raven is content with this. They're not like Crow and Joker, anyway. They're younger. They've got time to figure themselves out.

He's just gonna bask in these happy feelings 'til they have to breathe again.

Ren lets out a noise when Goro breaks from the kiss. Kiss...he pouts.

"Just needed to breathe." Here, have another kiss, Ren. It's okay.

Ren perks up. Kiss! He likes kiss.

Raven also quite enjoys kiss. That's why he isn't moving.

Shiro covers his mouth to muffle a giggle. "Well, they're certainly having fun."

"They are. Young love..." Wormwood nuzzles into Shiro's chin, rubbing his nubby horns into him.

Ren, likewise, presses his forehead into Goro's. He doesn't move to kiss again, but he's there.

The nubby horns are more than welcome. They're so uniquely Wormwood, that Hiro even offers them a gentle stroke.

As for Goro, he presses his forehead back, laughing breathlessly. "Do you want to give skating another try? We could always do something else instead, if you prefer."

Wormwood shivers-- oh, those pets-- warmth spreads down his--

Suddenly, he jerks his head back, taking his nubby horns out of range of Shiro's soul-melting touches. "I appreciate it, but uh." His lithe not-quite-wings tremble. "We should save that for the bedroom. I think..."

Ren's eyes, likewise, are about as big as dinner plates with red-flushed cheeks to match. "Mgh..."

Shiro squeaks out a gasp, face redder than a tomato. "I-isn't it a bit soon for—"

Goro coughs and sputters. "Erm. So, anyway! Next activity? It can be more skating, or we can do something equally exciting. The sky's the limit!"

"I just wanted to let you know!" Wormwood yelps, all composure wiped off the face of the earth. "It definitely is too soon, I just-- I didn't know and you feel-- too good when you do that--"

"Let's." Ren squeezes Goro's hand. "Get on the ice and cool down."

"W-Well, I'm glad it felt good, at least! Though, obviously, lesson learned. We can save it for when we're older and wiser!"

Goro gives Ren's hand a little squeeze before slooowly rising back to his feet. "Yes. That sounds like an excellent idea."
