Contrary to her words, Shinra could tell that Celty was still nervous. He didn't blame her. It was a daunting sort of thing, and Shinra himself wasn't without his own jitters. He had insecurities, here and there, but. They loved each other, and surely that...

He chased his thoughts away, because now was not the time for thinking. He put his hands on her instead, lowering her down against the bed. His heart was pounding just to see her tugging on the zipper of her bodysuit.

"I love you, Celty," he whispered before he pressed a kiss against the exposed skin just below her neck.

After that, there wasn't much in the way of words for the remainder of the night.
