The Threeway Date
She turned her head in the mirror, catching to see if a lock of hair was out of place or needed to be smoothed out.
Lily rarely primped like this, but Anakin was in the room watching her, and she wanted to make him... Well, she didn't know.
Mad?
Jealous?
Hopelessly burning with desire?
Pulling a few strands from the bun, she twisted them around her finger until they curled. None of those would ever happen, unfortunately. But a girl could still dream.
“Do you have another date tonight, Lily?” He asked her in a quiet voice from his chair, and she glanced over her bare shoulder to smile at him.
“Yeah. He should be here soon, actually. How do I look?” She spun around completely, her long skirt flaring out as she did so before coming to a stop facing her, hands on her hips and a wide grin on her lips.
“Y-you... You look really nice, Lily.” Anakin glanced down, rubbing his knees. “Amanda went out on a date, too...”
The way he said it made her pause, and suddenly she was hating herself, parading around like some little bitch to elicit a desirable response when all she had done was probably hurt one of the people she loved the most in the world.
“You want to come with?” She asked suddenly.
That small, shy smile that lit up his face was worth the fact that the guy she had the date with slandered her name for a week afterward.

No Compromises
“Can I spend the night?”
His face resembled a tomato. A cute tomato.
“I can sleep in the bed~”
He turned blue instead.
“I'll sleep on the couch...?”
He started to breathe again, though she was aware that he was gripping his chest kind of funny.
“We have to do something besides hold hands and hug, Ani. It's been three months since we started dating.”
“But I like holding your hand!”
Lily sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Jim's Failed Advice
Have to keep it together. Dad said to keep breathing and not freak out.
So much easier said than done as Anakin twisted his hands together, staring down at the floor as Lily leaned against him, yawning softly. She was tired. Of course she was tired. She'd been working really hard lately. He hadn't seen her in a few days, and he'd really missed her.
It was nice when they got to spend these few moments together.
Don't freak out, don't freak out.
While one arm moved to wrap around her shoulders, the other was helping to maneuver his hand into tugging at his collar. This wasn't abnormal. At least he wasn't blushing as much whenever she touched him, like she was doing now, curled up against his side, although she made sure that her hands were above waist level and still.
Okay, that thought caused his face to go on fire.
“Anakin, son, when you have a girlfriend, it's okay to do more than hold hands. It's not like we've never had the sex ta-Don't fidget like that.”
“What if she doesn't like it, though? Because, um... She hasn't tried in awhile, and...”
“She's waiting on you, Anakin. Now...”
He could do this. He was Anakin George Kirk, and he could put the moves on his girlfriend of six months.
Absently, his hand rubbed her arm, and she snuggled in closer to him.. Good sign, good sign. Adverting his eyes, Anakin let his hand fall to her waist instead, repeating the same soothing motion across the exposed skin. Lily murmured softly, pressing into him more.
His dad was right!
Now, all he had to do was to stop looking down at the floor and kiss her. He began to move around, wetting his lips, because he didn't want them to be too dry when he went to kiss her, since Dad has said that was really bad, and okay, he could do this, inch by inch...
“Ani, 'm tryin' to sleep,” Lily sighed before her breathing became deep and even again.
Oh... He went back to being still. She hadn't even noticed what he had been psyching himself up to do.
