It was difficult to be a single mother. Especially when that mother had to have a full-time job. That was what Akiko felt having to raise her son by herself after his father had simply up and left them. Shido handled it admirably. He was a good student, obedient, and did his chores without complaint

"A-ah, hey mom. Home early?" He asked, trying not to sound too awkward, though he was blushing lightly. He got his shoes off, shrugging his backpack off his shoulders and letting the straps fall to one hand as he gave her a small smile in return.

"Shido..." she started, then paused, frowning when he looked away. She lifted her hand to touch his shoulder trying to get him to look back at her. "What do you think we should do about this? What will help?"

"I... I don't know. I know it's dumb, it's wrong, it can't work out...."
There was a 'but' there but he didn't vocalize it, biting his lower lip as he looked at her - her beautiful face. God she was so gorgeous it took his breath away sometimes. Just as it did now, his breathing stopping a brief moment, as did his beating heart.
Like admitting a crush to a girl he liked, except with a lot more at stake than normal.

But she couldn't do that. Still, she had to do something to help her son. She couldn't stand to see him in such agony. Especially when that was agony caused by her.
"It wouldn't work out," she murmured, brow furrowing thoughtfully. A solution came up, but every since social moral she had been raised with screamed in protest. "It is wrong. But. Maybe if you had one night with...with me, you'd realize I'm not what you want in that way."

"W... what...? You... mom you don't... I mean..." He had no idea how to respond. She was his mother, he loved her to death. He wouldn't want to take advantage of her... but she was also a woman, a gorgeous woman who had it sounded like, just offered herself to a teenage boy.
"Ugh I don't want to... make you do something you don't want... I'd feel awful!" He exclaimed. Though his heart was racing at the thought of having her at least, the part that loved her as a son was scared, nervous, and not wanting to hurt his mother over his weird... urges.

"Shido, you have no reason to feel awful. I want to, if it means helping you. You're the most important person to me, and I don't think I could handle losing you because of something like this."

But he shot his eyes right back up to meet hers. "You have to promise nothing changes, ok? No matter what happens... I don't want to lose you either, mom."

"I promise," she said firmly, "You'll always be my Shido. I love you."

"So... um... w-what should I...?" He began, uncertain where to go from here. A virgin through and through.

"We could try a...a kiss and go from there," Akiko suggested, hand moving from his cheek to cup his chin, tilting his head towards her so she could lean in and, after a beat of hesitation, brushed her lips lightly over his.

When he felt her lips to his, he felt like he might melt, her soft lips brushing over his and making him let out a quiet moan of excitement already, that made him blush furiously. "S-sorry..." he said quickly to that, his hands still fidgeting, not sure where to go though knowing exactly where they wanted to be.

"It's all right," she murmured. Now that she had already taken the leap, she might as well keep going, right? She pressed her lips more firmly against his mouth, wanting him to get used to the sensation.

But he tried to relax, to get used to the feeling of the kiss. Closing his eyes and letting himself be lost in the feeling of it, the warmth of her.

Her eyes flew open as what it was hit her, and she pulled from the kiss, looking around at the kitchen window. It looked out onto the street. If anyone saw...if the neighbors...
She took the hand on her side and gave it a little squeeze.
"We should go upstairs," she breathed, licking her lips.
Reply
"Ah, um, right." He soon realized why she wanted to do so, noticing her gaze out in to the daylight of the late afternoon, and he nodded in understanding. "Your room...?"

As she led him out of the kitchen and up the stairs, she was hoping she wouldn't lose her nerve. That would crush him with disappointment, and she couldn't do that to her son.
