The smile on Fletcher's face was a serene and genuine one. He could hardly believe how far they'd come or that they'd even progressed to this point. He was grateful for it and beyond happy. He didn't want to ruin it either but was glad when she didn't grow exasperated by his frequent hesitations. As much as he wanted her, all of her, he wouldn't push her to something she might not want. But that small smile and that little nod, it all made his heart beat faster.

Kissing her gently in return, he slowly moved above and into her. The distraction was something he needed himself, knowing if he saw any fear or pain on her face as he took her innocence for him he'd likely hesitate again. He might even stop entirely despite knowing that there was likely to be some pain no matter what he did. It caused a bit of pain himself, emotionally at least, as well as a twinge of guilt. He didn't want to hurt her in any way even if it was inevitable to an extent.

He tried to focus on that kiss as he slowly continued to push through the tightness and beyond that barrier marking her as a virgin. Focusing on the love and affection in such a simple gesture, he still continued to make sure he moved slowly so that he could pick up on any cues she might offer by way of discomfort or pain. There was no longer any going back but that didn't mean he had to rush through it, wanting her body to adjust to him so that hopefully she might get some amount of pleasure from her first time.
