And Couric was caught right off guard by that, his face turning as bright a red as a tomato, if not brighter. The teen's eyes widened and he could already feel himself begin to go lightheaded. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to surprise kiss the young saiyan...But he was still conscious...and he enjoyed the kiss on the lips, of course.

Julia shifted closer during the kiss, letting herself get drawn in to the moment... she wanted to just let herself go at last. Just a little. So her lips continued to work their magic, as her left hand caressed Couric's cheek, and her right trailed down one of his arms to his hand.
She'd slide her fingers through the gaps between Couric's fingers and hold his hand, whether she had the back of his hand or the palm against her palm.

Couric's face only became a brighter red as the kissing continued, the teen being drawn into it, not able to actually move his arms at the moment, even though he probably wanted to. And, unfortunately for the both of them, it might not last all that much longer, considering Couric's track record with these situations.

Julia decided to stop the kissing at a certain point, not wanting to knock Couric out again.
But... she desperately wanted to kiss him some more...

Couric slumped backwards a little, face still quite bright red. But at least he was conscious...though that might just be a bad thing since he had really wanted to continue with the kiss...
/And here I thought my body'd be able to handle more than it could when I was alive.../ A tiny bit of steam escaped his mouth.

"I don't think I'm that good of a kisser, Couric..."
Julia's voice is quiet, and she lets out a short giggle. Hoping Couric will be able to recover.

"Don't sell yourself short..." He replied, sounding a tad dazed...but at least he was still conscious. That was a positive thing, right? He could still feel Julia's lips upon his own...
And his face became a shade redder. If that was possible.

Julia's blush reddenned a little more.
"Heh... I wish you could be a little better at staying conscious, though... kissing's no fun when it ends with one of the kissers konking out."
She raises an eyebrow, and gives Couric a silly glance to emphasize she's, obviously, referring to him.

"I'll just have to work on that, now won't I?" He replied without thinking, not realizing just what could come about because of that being said...Poor, poor Couric. Or would it be lucky in this case?

Julia bit her lower lip gently for a second, and then decided to say...
"Well, you did kiss me earlier outside the dojo before Goku ruined the moment... maybe if you get more practice of being the one in control, you'll get better at it?"
Hilariously obvious hint.

Couric's face turned an even brighter shade of red...already past the "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLY RED" mark, the rest of his skin seeming quite pale in comparison.
"M-Maybe...." This could only lead to the teen blacking out. Or maybe not. Who knows?

Julia couldn't help but giggle a little more at how flustered beyond belief Couric was getting.
"Jeez, you really are inexperienced. You should've gone to high school. You'd have met loads of girls who'd have fallen for you there, and this'd be no problem."

"Eh? Loads of girls would have fallen for me?" A sweatdrop made its way down the back of his head. He really couldn't even imagine such a thing like that...It actually made him wonder, for a split second, what that could possibly be like. But, since he couldn't even imagine it, no sexual mental images followed.

"Well yeah, you've got a wonderful personality... you're strong and gentle... you're cute and funny... and you look pretty handsome even with the hair... I can't imagine you not being a hit in high school."
Julia means every word.

/I'm funny?/ Another thought added to the Couric's mind only category. It almost made him want to crack some kind of joke just to see if that was actually true...but for the sake of avoiding a Gozu moment, he decided against it But outside of that, he almost seemed surprised by what Julia was telling him. Granted, he didn't have many self-esteem issues, but still...he hadn't really ever heard that from anyone else.
Best he had ever heard was the good ol' insult from Cajabe when it came to his personality. And maybe the mention of being cast aside by his own 'family' for being too soft had actually bothered him a bit on the inside, who knows.

"Most important to me, though... even better than all of that... is that you're the closest friend I think I've ever had. So... it's really important to me you get used to kissing me... because... I want to kiss you more... yes it's funny when you collapse bright red as a tomato, but... it sort'a ruins things at the same time, so... you know..."
She doesn't know how to say the words where she's going with this.

He could understand what she meant by his sudden loss of consciousness ruining things, but it was just a tad out of reach for him to fully understand why kissing was important to her...After all, as far as he knew, they still considered each-other friends, right? At least, that was what he thought, though it was becoming increasingly obvious that it was quite a bit more than that.
"Alright....I'll definitely get to work on not passing out..."

"Cool."
Julia was quite red in the face right now... it took a lot of effort to say all she said earlier.
"Uhm, so..."

Post by unholylssj on Jul 22, 2009 22:10:04 GMT -5
"So..."
Couric fidgeted a little, a tad more nervous than the tiny bit of fidgeting actually let on, clenching and unclenching his right fist. He just couldn't manage to think of what to say and found himself wondering just what Julia was about to.

"So, uhm... Couric... what do you..."
Her voice is fairly quiet.
"...what do you like about me?"
She's been wanting to ask this one for a while.

And as quickly as it had begun to turn back to its normal color, Couric's face quickly became a brighter red than it had been.
"W-well.."
This is a good start, isn't it?
"I-I like that....you're...really caring and...that you've got a rea..really good heart and head on your shoulders..." He began. This could only end horribly if the teen screwed up somehow. "And...despite some bad things...that happened...you're still stand strong...even if it hurts..."
Mentioning what he liked about her besides her personality would only lead to absolute hilarity.

"Wow..."
Julia, unlike Couric, does have self-esteem issues at various times... and although Couric's words were a little broken by his nerves, they got through to her.
"Am I really... like that...?"

"Yeah. Y-You're definitely an amazing person, Julia." Couric managed to say, only screwing up a single word that time, but his expression showed that he absolutely meant it. And then, by sheer accident...
"And you really are hot."
Now that sounds like something a teen would say...Except Couric wouldn't realize he had said that til it had already been said, his face winding up a brighter red than before, eyes a tad wide.

Julia found herself smiling helplessly... but then her eyes widened...
"Err..."
Julia's face went redder than ever. She was totally absolutely speechless.

Couric seemed frozen in place as his mind replayed the instant where he had finished speaking over and over. And it took all Couric had to keep from winding up unconscious...that or the sheer shock of what he had said was making sure he didn't.
Poor Couric.

"Well..."
Julia clears her throat.
"...I didn't expect that, but... I guess... thank... you...?"
"I'm... hot...?!"
She was still getting around the idea.

Unlike Julia, Couric couldn't quite manage to get up the strength to manage to speak, a bit of steam escaping his still open mouth. But at least he was still conscious...right? He was just in shock, right?

"And here I was thinking you were the more innocent type... eh-heh... but I don't... mind... it's... all right... I guess this explains those times when we've fought and you've... uhm..."
Touched what he shouldn't have?

And just when you thought Couric's face couldn't get any redder. It was practically comparable to the sun in terms of brightness at that point...but at least he could manage to speak...a little...semi-coherently.
"B-...B-...Bbbbbubbbuuuuh...." Okay...Maybe not semi-coherently. He was only managing to get more and more flustered with each passing nanosecond.

Julia starts to get worried, and places a hand on Couric's shoulder.
"Okay, I was kidding... please don't freak out or... pass out... please..."
"Why can't he be a little more... able to cope with this? I know Gozu would probably handle this way better..."
