"Yep, one in the same. He'd give me lessons when he visited the palace. I was stupid or brave enough to challenge him to a duel when I thought I'd learned enough to beat him a few years ago."
He slipped the arm she wasn't inspecting around the small of her back, as her finger gently traced the scar tissue. "I accidentally offended a brash young Matsu during my first year of high school in the middle of bushido class. I tried to apologize, but even though I was the prince he wouldn't back down. To be honest, I respected that trait in him greatly. He was a skilled duelist too." He smiled at the memory. "The duel was to the first blood and ended in a kharmic strike. I got his leg, he got my arm. But I was the one that had to wear stitches for a few weeks. His name was Kento."
"Last I heard he was rising through the ranks in the Matsu army."

"Offending someone in bushido class? My, that's ironic."
Hinata chuckled.
"It sounds like he's doing well, though. That's good to hear...I think."
She then leaned over and kissed him gently. This was it. She felt ready. She needed to do something first, though.
"...can I ask where your restroom is? I need to use the sink."

"The Lion can be prickly about certain... interpretations," Yoshinobu said with a smile and a shrug, wrapping his arms around Hinata as she kissed him. When she finished, he let her go and pointed to his staircase. "My room is upstairs, the restroom will be on the left."
After he let her go, Yoshinobu went to retrieve his water bottle and sat down on his sofa in the living room area.

Hinata nodded, and walked up the stairs, going to the restroom as directed. Once there, she slipped out of her jacket and pants, leaving her in just her underwear. As she began to undress, her heart started to race. She had felt ready downstairs. She had talked to Kogeki about it earlier. Now that she was actually getting ready to do it, though, she began to feel more nervous than ever before. Taking a deep breath, she walked over to the sink and washed her face paint off. If she was going to do this, she was going to leave no barriers. She wanted it to be as intimate as possible. With that in mind, she went over to her jacket and pulled a small contact case out of the pocket. Wetting her fingers, she took her jade laced contacts out and placed them in the case, revealing her natural brown eyes underneath.
No more masks. Just her. Her thoughts raced; what if he did not like what he saw? Would he think she had deceived him? That had never been her intent, but she knew how much he detested lying. Surely he would not get upset over a thing so trivial as the color of her eyes? Hinata leaned against the sink with both arms, taking a few deep breaths in and out to calm herself. It worked to a certain extent, but she was still trembling. She cleared her throat and looked in the mirror, brushing some of her hair out of the way of her face.
"I can do this" she said to herself, her voice a whisper. And with that, she walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed, shaking slightly in both excitement and fear.
"Yoshinobu-kun, can you come up here?" she called.
Well, no turning back now.

"On my way!" Yoshinobu called towards the set of steps, setting his half finished tea bottle to the side on top of the counter again. Hinata would hear the soft thudding of his steps as he ascended towards his room, his head eventually peaking in. "What's up Hinata-ch-"
The sight he saw, Hinata sitting on the edge of his bed half naked, shocked him at first. Took his breath away, because of how beautiful she was. In the dark, as his eyes adjusted to the low light, he caught glimpse of her porcelain skin like a doll's. The way her hair cascaded down her shoulders, a dark waterfall. He took a few slow steps towards her, and only then noticed something else. She was trembling.
Yoshinobu sat on the edge of the bed with her, not touching her, maybe half a foot of distance between them. She wore colored contacts, he finally noticed. This caused a small smile to appear on his face. Without her face paint on, her beauty was more natural. It reminded him of when he had first seen her in the maid cafe. Rather than relying on contrasting colors via the makeup to bring out the shape of her eyes, or the shape of her lips, he thought she was even more beautiful as she was now. She had intended to be honest and sincere with him via this action, and Yoshinobu had noticed as much. It only made him love and respect her more.
He turned towards Hinata, finally. Patiently. "Hinata-chan. Are you sure this is what you want? You're trembling. If you believe it is, I just want you to know... I didn't invite you here because I had intentions on sleeping with you. I just wanted to spend the night with you." An honest admission, followed by a pause. "You don't need to feel forced into any of this if you thought otherwise."
Carefully, slowly, he put his hand on hers.

Had Hinata been in a less nervous, self-conscious state she would have realized the gesture for what it was: a simple, considerate one meant to calm her down. It was exactly what she would have expected of Yoshinobu under normal circumstances. However, these circumstances were far from normal. Hinata's mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, stirred on by her own self doubt over her appearance. As such, her mind reached another conclusion: he had finally seen her undressed, and he did not like her.
That was understandable; she thought much the same thing when she looked in the mirror. It felt like a dagger piercing her heart, and Hinata looked at the ground. Tears began to well in her eyes, a few falling to the floor.
"Do you...not want me?"

Yoshinobu turned cupped Hinata's face in his hands as she began to cry, feeling a stab of pain in his chest as well. He had said something wrong, obviously. He had to try and make it right. He let the tears spill; he didn't wipe them away. He removed his glasses, and looked down into her now brown eyes.
"That isn't the case at all. You're the most beautiful person I've ever met, Hinata." No honorifics. This was serious. "What more could I ever want?"
To prove it he closed the distance between them, kissing her deeply and passionately if she would let him. Desperately but lovingly struggling to express how much he desired her now. Everything she was - body, mind, and soul. She could have all of that from him. Hinata just needed to take it now.

Hinata melted into the kiss. The had been the only answer she needed; the maelstrom in her mind vanished, replaced by a primal hunger the likes of which she had never felt before. He wanted her. He truly wanted her. That made her want him more than ever before. She began to lift his shirt, going to take it off, but despite all her passion there was a little clinical voice nagging at the back of her head. Part of being a Kuni, she supposed. She broke off the kiss for a moment, breathing heavily. He said he had not planned for this, so that led to one obvious question in her mind...
"...do you have a condom?"
...hopefully that did not kill the mood.

Just as Hinata had broken away from him, Yoshinobu had laid her back on his bed. His mind was elsewhere, so it took him a moment to process what she had asked from him. He pulled himself up onto his elbows, rubbing his chest as he sat back up.
"Hold on a sec." The Prince stood up, somewhat embarrassed since his body was ready and in the mood. His face was flushed as he walked awkwardly across his room to a set of dresser drawers. He knelt down and opened the bottom one, quickly tossing some of his underwear out until he had dug up an small opened box. He pulled out a row of packaged condoms and removed one, tossing them to the side before he walked back towards the bed.
Hinata knew how honest Yoshinobu was. If she wasn't able to piece things together before, she would probably be able to now. This wasn't his first time.

That did not surprise Hinata at all. He was the crown prince, and he was a bit older than she was. Combined with the fact she knew he had a long term girlfriend in the past, she had expected this. It was a good thing, actually; it meant he would know what to do. Ancestors knew she did not. Hinata laid back on the bed.
"Okay...you lead the way."
