Nocturne Summit Easy to be just you and me

At her apology, Charon offered her a consoling look that showed he wasn't angry in any way. It wasn't like she could help her hormones either. Is it your first time? he asked curiously, considering she said she had acted wrongfully. Charon always imagined it became easier each time, when they learned to know their body better and knew better how to tuck it away the best they could. He took a deep breath but instantly regretted it as his nostrils filled with her intoxicating scent. The only thing that was holding him back was knowing that she didn't want this, either, on top of it being less-than-good for either of them. Part of him whispered in the back of his head that he could keep her safe and that she could offer him things Amekaze could not.

As Speedy said they all behaved differently than they normally would have, Charon nodded knowingly. That's true. After a short pause he added: We might still be. There was a jittery feeling in his stomach as he admitted this, feeling fragile about it, but hoping that saying it out loud would somehow confirm that none of these feelings would be real a few weeks from now. They were only because of her heat, not because of real feelings.
