[There's no visible way that Scott can hide his shock when he feels her lips press against his cheek and even though it only lasts for a couple of seconds, that feeling of surprise continues-- resulting in him just looking at her with his mouth lightly parted. He may also be blushing, just a bit. Luckily for the both of them, he doesn't even try to run away and instead a soft looking smile begins to spread across his face to replace the shock that was there before.
Instead, he looks happy. If just a little bashful, until he leans forward to kiss her back on the cheek as well. He can't be the only one standing here with that goofy ass expression, he has to get her back!! And maybe because he wants to kiss her too, this time with that reassurance that she won't run away.]
Not bad. [...] Should we uh try kissing on the lips though?
[He does look kind of cute with that goofy ass expression! Now they're both turning red, and Maelle laughs again when he asks that question. Kissing on the cheek is... well, she does that with some friends. It's not dating exclusive.]
Thanks for the warning this time.
[... though she probably would have freaked out just the same, on Valentine's. She's braver now, after a few pep talks and the fact that she's beginning to accept the fact she has a long time ahead of her. Exploring and having fun outside of the Continent is probably a good idea. Living life is probably the best thing to do with her time, now.
She leans in to plant a quick kiss on Scott's lips. It's about as brief as a kiss can be while still counting as one, but she did it first!!! So there.]
[Okay so he had this whole master plan in mind, because he just assumed that Maelle would be blushing or hesitant and wanting him to ease them into it first. So, once she presses her lips right against his, she again leaves him in a state of shock and he is definitely blushing a lot more now. His cheeks might be as red as his sunglasses at this point!!
But uh that was his first kiss and it just happened and it was so fast but it was nice because it was with someone he's dating-- Maelle.]
You--
[That's about all he can muster before he leans in first this time, with his lips pressing against hers and he doesn't pull away immediately. A kiss that's going to last more than 3 seconds is the goal now!! He is definitely feeling giddy now though...]
[Soooo maybe making a boy blush is really fun. Maelle is about to say as much when there's another kiss. Fair. She should have seen that one coming, but... it feels like a very long three seconds in which they are Very Close and she doesn't know what she should be doing, if anything, but instead of turning to flee she just abruptly laughs.]
--sorry, I... I don't know how to kiss.
[She can take down Axons and immortal beings and the Paintress, but kissing is where she struggles and while it's sad it's also very funny.]
I'm going to pass out.
[Not really, but she's laughing so much she's dizzy.]
[Laughter is still better than her running away, so he'll take it! Especially since it's a fond kind of laugh, one that is just a little embarrassed rather than outright mocking-- not that he'd expect that. It's just still nice. And maybe the fact that Maelle isn't that great in kissing makes him more relaxed too, since he is hardly the expert either.
They're learning together.]
It's okay, we'll keep practicing. Maybe we can watch some of Sophie's dumb romantic movies too.
[He assures her with a small laugh of his own, his hand just taking hers but he doesn't try kissing her again. Maybe that's enough for one meeting? She kissed him and he kissed her and they settled most of their concerns. Honestly, he could just go for some food with her right now.

[He'll at least ask for that first!!]

That's part of dating anyway, right?]
