He was checking his phone so often he felt like a teenage girl. He finally got a text from her a little after lunch.

Coffee?

Yes. Where? When? he replied quickly.

He should have been embarrassed about his eagerness but he honestly didn't give a fuck, he wasn't going to play games with Akane.

They arranged to meet at a small café near her home. He changed quickly from his sweatpants into some jeans and white polo before heading out. When he arrived at the café he looked around quickly, noting she wasn't there. He ordered and found a small square table in a quiet corner, and by the time the waitress brought the coffee and a couple of warm pastries over, she had come in.

He stood up to signal her to his location and had a moment to admire how cute she looked in a simple pair of jeans and scoop neck tank top. He went to give her a hug in greeting but pulled back quickly, unsure if she would be receptive to such a friendly gesture, and ended up waving awkwardly before sticking his hands in his pockets.

"Hi, 'Kane."

"Hi."

"I ordered you a latte," he said, gesturing to the two cups on the center of the table.

"Thanks," she said with a smile.

He sat down and saw it as a good sign that she chose to sit on the empty chair next to him instead of across the table. Ranma put his right hand under the table and drummed his fingers on his thigh nervously. Now that she was here, he was somehow even more nervous.

Akane reached for her coffee, cupping the large mug with both hands as she used the mug to warm them up before taking a small sip and smiling at the faint taste of vanilla. It seemed he remembered exactly how she liked her coffee.

"So, I've been giving it a lot of thought," she began without preamble, they both knew why they were there and it seemed silly to pussyfoot around the issue. "I'm willing to give this a try if you are."

Ranma let out the breath he didn't even realize he was holding and his entire body seemed to relax, relieved that things were getting back on track.

"I'm definitely willing."

"Just promise me one thing, okay?"

"What?"

"That if you ever decide this isn't working out, you get bored of being with me, or you're just really into someone else, whatever, you'd be honest and tell me about it. I can deal with all that but not finding out you were with someone behind my back."

"Okay."

It was an easy promise to make. While he knew he had many faults, cheating and lying weren't on the list. More importantly, he respected Akane and wouldn't do anything to purposefully hurt her. Sure he was a horny bastard but that didn't mean he made decisions with his dick.

"Then we can move on from here and start fresh. I'm going to try to not let what happened affect how I act towards you. You asked for my trust and I'm going to give it to you."

"And I'll do my best to deserve it."

He meant every word. He wasn't the kind of man to make promises lightly, so when he did, he kept them. The pig-tailed man relaxed in his chair and picked up his coffee for the first time.

"When was the last time you were checked for STDs?"

Ranma choked on his coffee, some of it spewing between his lips in surprise. He coughed roughly and pounded his chest with his fist. Once he was breathing normally again, he picked up a napkin and dabbed at his no longer white shirt. He didn't really like it anyways.

Akane pursed her lips in amusement. Maybe she should have waited until he was done taking a sip of his drink to ask the question.

"Huh?" the pigtailed man asked intelligently as he looked up.

"STDs, when was the last time you got checked for them?"

Hearing it a second time didn't make it easier for Ranma to process.

Akane herself was trying not to squirm. Talking about sexual history and STDs was always awkward but something that had to be done. Seeing that he was still a little shocked at the turn of conversation, she decided it would be best for her to continue.

"I'm on the pill, so pregnancy won't be an issue but the pill doesn't protect from STDs. The last time I was checked everything came back negative. How about you?"

It was something that she had thought a lot about over the last day. She knew of his reputation and could only imagine how many women he had been with, and though she was curious, she had no real desire to know the specifics. Nothing good could come from it. She was serious about trying to not let Azusa's intrusion on their last date make her paranoid or suspicious of him, she would be a fool to completely ignore his past and the possible ramifications of it.

Ranma cleared his throat as he realized that Akane wasn't going to let this go until she got an answer.

"The last time I checked I was fine, besides I use condoms."

He did for multiple reasons. First was to keep himself safe. The girls he had been with seemed to take sex as casually as he did. Some had no concerns about asking him to use protection while others didn't seem to care if he used any at all. If they were like that with him, it made him wonder if they ever used protection. For the girls he had longer 'relationships' with he worried about pregnancy. There were some, like Shampoo, who insisted they were on the pill but he worried they weren't telling the truth so he didn't take the risk. With as stalkerish as she turned out to be, he wouldn't have put it past her to try to trap him by getting pregnant.

"Every time? There hasn't been once when you forgot it?"

He wanted to say 'yes, every time' but couldn't. There had been a few nights when he had been drunk and had forgotten. He realized that it had been a long time since he had a blood test. Once again, he was feeling uncomfortable about his past actions. Even though he had really not done anything wrong, he just didn't want to talk to her about the other women he had been with. It just felt wrong.

He certainly had no desire to hear details about her sexual history. She obviously wasn't a virgin and that was pretty much all he needed to know. He didn't care how many men she'd been with.

Feeling that Ranma was hesitant to talk about it, Akane decided to take a different approach that she hoped would get him to agree to what she wanted. She scooted her chair in a little and crossed her legs, allowing her calf to brush slowly against his. She placed her forearm on the table and leaned on it, knowing the way her breasts would look in that position.

The pigtailed man was shaken from his thoughts by the brush against his leg. He looked up as she leaned closer to him, his eyes widened fractionally as he noticed the now ample cleavage suddenly on display. He tried to keep his eyes on her face. He really did. But he couldn't help but glance down at the tops of the creamy white breasts. Damn she had some nice tits. He shook his head quickly, knowing that he was crossing the line between looking and leering, so he moved his gaze to her face. He gulped at the way she was looking at him through hooded lashes, a small catlike smile on her face. She reached out and traced her finger against the back of his hand.

"Ranma," she said, drawing out his name in a low husky voice that he had never heard before that seemed to shoot straight to his groin. Suddenly everything else in the room faded and all he could see was her.

Akane leaned in a little more and he moved towards her automatically, like a magnet. She moved her free hand under the table and put it on his knee.

"I like sex."

She tilted her head to the side and nibbled on her bottom lip.

"A lot."

He leaned in a little more, suddenly unwilling to miss anything she had to say.

She inched her hand up his thigh, running her fingers over his leg in slow circular motions.

"There are times when things get…intense and I don't want to stop just to grab a condom."

She moved her hand up a little more. He gulped. While her palms were placed mid-thigh, the tips of her fingers were dangerously high. If she moved her hand up just a little more she would find out exactly how much she was affecting him.

"Or stop altogether because we don't have one."

She squeezed his muscular thigh firmly, rubbing it gently.

"Do you?"

His brain seemed to go on the fritz and he only shook his head slightly in response.

"Good."

She patted his thigh before pulling her hand away and leaning back onto the chair.

"So, we'll both get tested, so when we do decide to have sex, we know we won't have anything to worry about," she said in a cheery voice.

Akane felt a little bad teasing him like that, especially since they had decided to wait to have sex until she felt more secure of his feelings. But this needed to be addressed so she had to use whatever means were at her disposal. And the plan worked. It was just a side benefit that she also felt a bit smug, it felt good to feel wanted.

Ranma blinked at the sudden change in mood but nodded nonetheless. Whatever spell she had cast on him was broken. He was a little bit embarrassed where his thoughts had strayed while sitting across from her in a coffee shop. He couldn't believe how quickly she changed from her normal persona to a vixen and back again. She had a bright smile on her face and was acting like she didn't just give him a boner. He could have gotten upset but only laughed at himself over how easily she played him.

Who knew she could be a total tease? He only hoped he would reap the benefits when the time was right. He fully planned to keep his word, sex would be off the table until she was sure of his intentions towards her. In the meantime, she wasn't the only one who could tease. He would make it hard for her. As hard as he was at the moment. One thing for sure, she was definitely keeping him on his toes.

He would take the blood test like she suggested. She was right, it would be better for both of them to find out if either of them had STDs. He had never considered going bareback with someone on purpose before but now that she proposed it, he couldn't get the idea out of his mind. With her it wasn't a scary prospect. Unlike the other girls that he had sex with, he knew he could trust Akane wouldn't to try to 'trap' him with a pregnancy or sleep around on him

He had never been exclusive with anyone before since he never really cared if the girls he'd slept with were sleeping with other people at the same time. But just the idea of Akane with someone else put his teeth on edge. Surprised by the sudden spurt of anger, he brushed it off as a ridiculous feeling. Akane just wasn't the type of person to do something like that.

Despite the awkward start to the conversation, he was glad she had brought the subject up. It was a good sign that she really was going all in, like he was. She was already planning ahead so when they finally did have sex they could do so without worry. When the time was right, of course. Which he couldn't help but hope was sooner rather than later.

Ranma leaned against his headboard, his arms crossed over his chest as he looked blandly at Ranko, who was sitting on his desk chair shaking her head at him, and Ryoga, who was sitting on the floor literally laughing out loud.

"Azusa? Seriously? That airhead? What were you thinking?" Ranko asked in disgust.

She had known the figure skater briefly when she had tried her hand at learning the sport. The brunette seemed to hate her on sight and Ranko always blamed her partner for that. She had always thought that figure skating was a beautiful sport and decided to learn to skate. But the moment she stepped on the ice, she fell and Mikado had come over to help her up, touching her way more than was necessary. He then flirted with her, offering her 'private' lessons. She had tried to move away from the slimy bastard but stumbled again, giving him an excuse to pull her body against his. He bent her over slightly, into an impromptu dip, and to her horror, tried to kiss her! No longer caring what happened, she pushed him back, causing the skater to lose his grip and they both went tumbling to the icy floor. Not willing to put herself in his clutches, literally, she crawled to the wall and pulled herself up. As she glared at him, the male skater laughed the incident off.

Azusa had witnessed the entire spectacle and mean girled her. She mocked Ranko's efforts to try gain her footing and laughed loudly with her friends every time the redhead fell on her ass. Which was a lot. As athletic as the redhead was, she just couldn't get her balance on the ice. The redhead had always suspected the other girl of being jealous and her brother's story confirmed her suspicions. Ranko scoffed. She had never wanted that pervert's attention in the first place.

She despised the figure skater and the feeling was mutual.

"Obviously he wasn't. Do you think they spent any time talking? You've seen her perform, she's really flexible, which he probably enjoyed," Ryoga said from the floor.

"Men," Ranko spat out and threw a book at her brother.

"What did I do? He's the one who said it," Ranma said as he dodged the book.

"Yeah but he's not wrong, is he? You're probably thinking the same thing."

The pig-tailed man wisely remained silent on the matter but he had to admit his best friend was right. Azusa was very bendy and they really didn't talk much, her mouth had always been busy doing other things.

Ranko frowned more deeply at his silence. Then unbidden – and certainly unwanted – an image of her brother and the figure skater in that complicated position she saw in the kama sutra book entered her mind. She shook her head violently as she pulled a face. She wished she could scrub her brain. This was all Ryoga's fault for putting that picture in her mind. She narrowed her eyes and watched as the fanged-man only laughed harder. He didn't see the stress ball she aimed at him until it smacked him on the forehead.

"Oww," Ryoga whined.

Ranko only rolled her eyes.

"Don't be a wuss."

She turned to her brother.

"I didn't know you kept in contact with her," she said suspiciously.

"I didn't." When Ranko only looked at him with a raised eyebrow he added, "I ran into her at a bar one night. She recognized me and we started talking and one thing led to another."

She wanted to give him more shit about Azusa but what was done was done. Plus she didn't want any more images in her head. Normally Ranma wouldn't discuss these things with her but she had walked into his room and saw Ryoga laughing. When she asked what was so funny, the fanged-man had told her everything over her brother's objections.

"You're lucky Akane is forgiving, you've screwed up twice now…"

"But I didn't do anything! This wasn't my fault!" Ranma said defensively.

"You didn't ask Azusa over but let's not pretend you're the victim or totally innocent here, okay?" Ranko said with a glare.

The pigtailed-man had come to the same conclusion over the last couple of days, so he only sighed deeply.

"As I was saying, you better make sure you don't screw up a third time or that will probably be the last time," she said in warning.

She had no idea how the blue-haired girl got past the incident. Personally, she didn't think she could let something like that go. She was on Akane's side on this one, brother or not.

"Seriously, dude. You're lucky she gave you a second chance to begin with. I have no idea why she would though. She's way too good for you."

"Agreed," Ranko said dryly.

Ranma wondered why he put up with those two. They had no faith in him sometimes.

"I'm not a fucking idiot, okay? I'm not gonna screw it up."

The two only looked at him doubtfully.

Yup, no faith at all. Those fuckers.

"Let me get this straight, she came in dressed like some cheesy porn star, glomped on Ranma, felt you up, and then asked if you wanted a three-way as casually as if she were asking if you want milk or sugar with your coffee," Ukyo said.

"That about sums it up," Akane said with a nod.

"Exactly how many teeth was the skank missing when she left?"

Akane smiled. One of the best things about having good friends was them always having your back and getting pissed off for you.

"None. I was too surprised to really know how to react and well, I kinda felt bad for her. I mean a little, you know before she groped me, I could tell something was wrong with her. And after Ranma told me about her boyfriend, well…" she trailed off and shrugged her shoulders.

"You're too nice and forgiving. If it were me, I would have gotten at least one punch in. Ryoga better hope I never find myself into a situation like that, or I'd kick his balls so hard he'd be singing soprano for the rest of his life."

"Trust me, I had the same urge."

"Then why didn't you?"

"I needed to get out of there more."

Ukyo patted her friend on the shoulder supportively.

"Look, I like Ranma and all that but I love you, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Honestly, I don't know. A small part of me thinks that it's a horrible idea and I am just setting myself up to be hurt. But…" She ran her hands through her hair. "When we are alone or just with our group, he doesn't act like a manwhore. I like spending time with him and I dunno...I've never really felt this attraction and connection to anyone like this before. When it comes to it, I would regret it more if I didn't give it a shot."

The chef nodded in understanding. She knew a bit more about Ranma's past than Akane did but all through stories she'd heard from Ryoga and she didn't know how much of it was exaggerated. If she had thought that the male Saotome had only wanted to get her best-friend in bed, she would have done everything in her power to get between the two. But she was a good judge of character and having observed them together, it was obvious how much he cared for her.

"Okay, I just don't want him to hurt you again."

"I'll be careful and we're going to take things slow and get to know each other better."

"Good. But if he screws up again, he better hope he's wearing a cup the next time I see him."

Akane smiled. She really did have the best friends.

A/N: This sex conversation was supposed to happen last chapter but it just didn't work so I moved it. Sex is easy to do but often hard to talk about. PSA: Use protection, talk to your partners about STDs, keep yourself and them safe.

I hope you like the new chapter. It's a little shorter than the others but it felt like a natural place to stop.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all you get everything you want and nothing you deserve. On the top of my wish list are reviews, so if you wanna give me a present, you know what to do! For those who don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a Happy Hanukkah, a Joyous Kwanzaa and for everyone else, Happy Festivus!

Thanks alwaysZutarian for all your wonderful suggestions.
