I thought I was already spoiled by Skye at this point, but turns out they had a lot more tricks up their sleeve than I expected. Even on the days where we had our jam sessions together, they managed to surprise me every time I stopped by their house. The last time I went to their house, they got boba tea from my favorite boba shop. Before that, it was a new pair of slippers to use at their house. If this wasn’t love, I didn’t know what was.

Speaking of their house, I realised that I began to be at their house a lot more than vice versa. Not that I minded, but I was wondering if they were more comfortable being the host than the guest. I also began to stay a lot more often at their house, which made sense since their house was larger than mine. Their bed was also larger than mine in comparison, so I had more space to wiggle and cuddle around whenever we were in bed. 

A few months have passed since our first date during Valentine’s and I thought we were going at a pretty steady pace in our relationship. I found out more neat facts about my babe, including the fact that they enjoyed crunchy peanut butter, while I was firmly on creamy peanut butter. I knew that they were a musician, but I didn’t know some of the most popular tracks in the charts were co-written by them. This definitely explained a lot of their connections in multiple industries. What surprised me more was that they won a prestigious music award a few years ago and I wasn’t even aware about it until I looked at their shelf containing all their trophies.

My babe knew that I loved The Weeknd and managed to snag concert tickets and backstage passes. I was stunned by their move and showered them with kisses and cuddles when they surprised me with that. Of course, the concert was a blast and I managed to give Abel a big hug when I met him backstage before the concert. It seemed that Skye knew Abel relatively well too, as they had a conversation while I was admiring the wardrobe changes.

I was ready to take our relationship to the next level, but I would rather wait until they were also ready for it. I was very inexperienced, but with inexperience, I made it up by reading up online. I knew practice was not the same as theory, but I wanted to be prepared. Plus, I wasn’t sure which position I would be in, and frankly I was fine with either.

It was then Skye decided to walk into the bedroom where I was researching and decided to interrupt by showering me with kisses in nearly every part of my face, then they moved to the other parts of my body. I would be lying if I wasn’t turned on, but Skye seemed a little nervous, which was the case when they wanted to ask me something important.

“My love, I have something to ask of you. It’s quite important, and I would rather know now.”

“Yes, babe? You know you can ask me anything right?” 

“I actually have a few questions, but I’ll start with this: Do you want to have sex with me?”

I wasn’t expecting them to be so direct when it came to sex, but I appreciated the gesture. In fact, I would rather have them be as direct as possible, and I figured they knew that I liked that too.

“Actually, babe, I was looking into various positions before you interrupted me. I hope that answers your question.” 

I threw in a flirty wink towards Skye, who started grinning widely.

“Well, I’m glad we’re on the same page. I’m not sure if I’m a top or a bottom though…” Skye left that sentence intentionally hanging to see my reaction.

“I’m the same, babe. I’m honestly fine with either. We could always switch positions throughout, no one has to strictly top or bottom. I presume that answers your next question.”

Skye nodded and started taking off their clothes. Though I did say I was ready to have sex with them, I started panicking and asked them.

“Wait, are we doing it now? Do you know what to do? I’m a virgin after all, so I have no experience either way.”

Skye laughed as if they heard me making a good joke.

“No worries, my love. I actually do have experience with this. I’ve done both top and bottom, and since you’re new to this, I don’t mind bottoming for you. Just to check though, are you really okay with having sex with me?” 

I nodded at their question. It was a fair question since not every aroace folk was okay with sex, and I did panic for a bit, though it wasn't because I didn't want to do it. I took the time to remind them again that I was sex-indifferent and wouldn’t mind having sex if they wanted it. 

“Cool, do you want to try it out? No worries, we can take it slow. After all, this is your first time.”

I giggled at their last sentence, because it was true. It would be the first time, and hopefully many more times if we enjoyed it.

“Sure, let’s do this now.”
