Shy na Ano Ko ni Natsukaretai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12

[N2O]

not smelling much of consent here

In this particular case and circumstance, I think it's fine to do that. Afterwards, you'd be like "I'm sorry, I've liked you for a while now, and having you now in my arms like this, it made my head go spinning. I'm sorry to spring it on you like this"

And then you'd thoroughly apologize and assure them you won't do it again. Then if they respond positively, that's a win in your relationship, if not, then you stay away from them afterwards. Someone has got to have the willingness to drive a relationship forwards, of course in a respectful way.

Idk, in my brain a simple kiss is not a big deal, and definitely not to the point where you go "consent!" when in this kind of circumstance. It's very low-stakes. Worst case scenario, you get rejected and you move on. I think it's very important to be honest with someone you're interested in.

A hug could work too, instead of the kiss

No.

There's no "asking for forgiveness later" even with a kiss. Consent is consent no matter "the stakes" and boundaries are boundaries and only to be crossed when allowed to.

The one and only respectful way would be to be like: "hey, I feel like kissing you right now, is that okay with you?"

and that's when you will either get a positive response or a negative response WITHOUT having pushed yourself onto the other person in any type of way.

Okay, but you need to hold her skirt as well when you princess carry, otherwise you'll flash her underwear to the whole school.

Well, I respectfully disagree, and I think it's essential for there to be at least some leeway in romantic circumstances IRL. You don't like the idea of her kissing her here, that's fine, but I think it's wrong and unfair thinking of it as a serious non-con scenario, since it's just friends interacting

 

[Zedter]

They have to kiss on stage for sure

 

[Othingl]

Oh ya, it's definitely gonna happen on that stage one way or another.

Sure there's degrees of being problematic, but I want to be clear about the line. If hormones prevent thought or a vibe is misread in good faith, a moment's mistake isn't so bad. If the kiss was planned even slightly, let alone that being lied about, those decisions make the tresspass very problematic very quickly. Either way can work for a story, maybe even a specific irl friendship idk idc, but the latter is intent to take an action that reasonably could hurt someone and thus a big deal, a big risky deal.
– I've been in the latter situation, and cut them off forever because it was egregious

I've always thought "mind if I do something crazy?" type flirting is a cute way to navigate that awkward moment. It's not informed consent if just yes or no but it's a good vibe check.

 

[Doodert]

Nooo, I caught up when it was still getting even better!

Ty for the chapters!
