... And you know what? Theo's feeling adventurous today. No mess here either.

Well, now it's kiss time! Sadde returns to his original position after making sure messes won't happen and it's definitely time for kissing.

It is definitely time for kissing! Interesting kisses.

Definitely interesting. And tasty.

While they are interesting, Theo's not sure he'd call them tasty, but Sadde's definitely not bad.

Mmm.

Sadde was mostly being metaphorical.

"...say, this is your first time, isn't it?"

"... Yeah? I'm only sixteen."

"So am I."

"Well yeah, but you've been sixteen for longer, and I wasn't really motivated enough to try it before I turned sixteen."

"...my first time was a while longer ago than that."

"Oh, okay."

He kisses Theo's nose. "Guess I'm gonna have to teach you a thing or three."

Theo grins. "That's fine by me!"

"Quelle surprise," he says, butchering the pronunciation.

"Very surprising, I know."

Was that a slight grimace at the pronunciation? Of coourse not.

He giggles. "I did say I can't speak any foreign languages for the life of me."

"Yeah, but it's pronounced 'Quelle surprise'," he says, pronouncing it like 'Kell soo-r-preez'. "That's not that difficult? The 'u' and the 'r' in 'surprise' are just like... uh..."

Turns out it's actually pretty difficult to explain it through English words.

"Okay, no, I get it."

He tries it anyway. And continues failing.

"Yeah, don't worry. The 'R' doesn't appear in English, but I didn't think it was that hard to pronounce."

"Yes, not one of my many strengths."

"You could try German? The pronunciation isn't too difficult? Or maybe Japanese... that has fewer vowels?"

"It's not just the pronunciation."

"The vocab is pretty difficult, I guess? ... and the grammar. And things like politeness pronouns. Okay, I can see why you wouldn't like languages."

He laughs. "I don't dislike them, I'm just very not-good at them."

"Oh well. Lucky I'm good at them, I guess? If anything comes up."
