Ranma couldn't believe he had a third wheel – in the form of one sarcastic red head - on his third first date with Akane.

Okay, so maybe it really wasn't a date as they were just hanging out.

And technically, he guessed he was the third wheel as he was the one tagging along on their plans. But he was gonna count it as one anyways as he couldn't have two such horribly bad dates to his name.

Even if the first one was completely his fault.

It had been a couple days since their conversation at the coffee shop and it was the first time they both had time to get together. Ranma had asked her to go out to dinner, but since Akane already had plans with Ranko and was rather busy for the rest of the week, he decided to come along. It wasn't ideal but he would take what he could get.

Thankfully, both girls liked action movies so he wasn't stuck watching some lame ass chick flick. He paid for their tickets and they queued for the concession stand.

Akane couldn't help but goggle at the amount of snacks the Saotome siblings had bought for a two hour movie. Ranko had brought a large handbag she used to sneak in gummies, red vines, M&Ms, cookies, and boxes of Pocky. Of course they couldn't be expected to share, so there were two servings of each snack item. Not to mention the large ICEEs and large popcorn they had bought to share amongst the three of them. She couldn't help marvel at the metabolism of the red-head and be a little envious of it.

Ranko had taken the lead when they had entered the stadium seating theatre and chose the middle front row seats, something Akane appreciated as it allowed her to put her feet up on the metal bars in front of her. She settled herself between the two siblings and pulled out her phone to put it on silent.

As they sat, Ranma put his drink into one cup holder and the candies his sister handed to him on his lap before lifting the divider and wrapping his arm around Akane's shoulder. It only took a second before he was pelted in the head with a small piece of chocolate. He leaned forward and glared at his sister, who only narrowed her eyes at him before she pulled out another piece and threatened him with it and nodded at his arm meaningfully.

With a sigh he removed his arm. Ranko had only allowed him to join them if he had promised not to act all "gross" with Akane in front of her. While his sister wholeheartedly approved of and supported their relationship, she refused to be subjected to their "lovey dovey" antics and it seemed that simple act of affection had crossed a line. Not one to be easily deterred he reached over and put his hand on the blue-haired girl's knee, which was blocked from his sister's sight by the big tub of popcorn Akane was holding on her lap so the three of them could share.

He once again thanked the heavens for the short skirt that the youngest Tendo had worn that day. Not only did it make her ass look fantastic, but it allowed him access to the legs he had been staring at all day. He only moved his hand to open a new snack box and if he moved it up slightly as the movie progressed, she didn't seem to mind.

Akane had caught the entire exchange between the siblings – it was hard to ignore a piece of candy flying by your face – and chose to ignore it. The brother and sister had a dynamic that she couldn't really understand having grown up with only sisters. She felt it best to let them figure out their differences themselves. She was a little disappointed when he moved his arm as she wanted to snuggle into him. It wasn't so bad though when he moved his hand to rest on her leg. It got much better when he moved it up slowly. He occasionally squeezed her thigh sending shivers right through her. His hand inched ever slowly upwards, until he was only inches away from her panties. He rubbed his fingers in small circles against her leg, driving her crazy.

She had never been so turned on while watching buildings being blown up before.

Ranma had a shit eating grin on his face that had nothing to do with the movie. This was going to be an awesome first date.

"A little to the left…a little more…"

Akane watched Ranma's hand move as instructed.

"Almost…Yes, yes! Right there!"

She bit her lower lip in concentration and anticipation…

"No!" she groaned in disappointment.

He had been so close but his fingers twitched slightly at a critical moment causing the claw to move just a little bit to the left, causing it to miss the cute pink pig plushy by a snout.

"Damn! I almost had it."

"I know. You were so close this time."

"It's okay, let me try again."

"You've been saying that for five minutes already! I really don't need her anyways."

"But I thought you wanted to get P-Chan a little friend?"

Akane laughed and pulled him away before he could spend any more money.

Ranma was currently was sitting on the couch with his books spread in front of him while Akane was at his kitchen table with her books and laptop. It wasn't romantic - they had barely spoken to each other since she came over - but he was still enjoying himself. It was nice just being in the same room with each other, even if it was doing something as mundane as studying, being comfortable enough with someone that being in silence wasn't awkward.

They had been at this a few hours and he thought that he could use a snack. He put his pencil into the seam of his book, closed it, and put it on the coffee table before standing up and stretching. At the table, Akane saw movement out of the corner of her eye and glanced over to see Ranma standing and stretching. His shirt rose up, exposing his stomach and she couldn't help but admire him. She could see the muscles on the back of his arms flex and the bottom of the shirt lifted enough to give her a glimpse of the bottom of his six pack as his sweats were slung low on his hips.

"Want something to drink?" the pig-tailed man asked as he walked to the fridge.

"Sure."

Her throat did feel really dry all of a sudden.

She had been staring at her screen for so long and she didn't realize how tense she had gotten. She rolled her neck to the left and right and then in a circular motion. She jolted slightly when she felt a pair of cool hands land on her shoulders. She closed her eyes when they began to kneed her tight muscles.

Pulling two cans of soda from the fridge, Ranma walked over to put one in front of Akane when he noticed her stretching her neck. She looked a little tense and almost without thought he began loosening the knots on her shoulders. She was wearing another one of her strappy work-out tanks that was surprisingly sexy and from his angle gave him a great view of the tops of her breasts, that moved up and down with her deep breathing. He worked his hands over her smooth skin and was doing something right as she let out a few moans of pleasure. He wondered if she would be that responsive in bed with his fingers working her. He hit a particularly tight spot on his shoulder and focused his attention there.

"Oh! Yes, right there. Harder," she moaned.

Fuck, he thought as he closed his eyes. He was glad he was wearing loose pants to hide his sudden hard on.

She knew it, Ranma had the most amazing hands that made her feel so much better. He massaged her for a few more minutes before she stopped him, claiming she would fall asleep if he continued.

"Thank you," she said as she looked up at him.

"No problem," he said quietly as he gazed down at her.

He leaned down and pressed his lips gently on hers. The kiss was comforting but still caused butterflies in her stomach. He pulled back before he brought his right hand to her cheek and ran the back of his index finger slowly down her face. He gave her a small smile then walked back to his couch.

Akane couldn't help but stare at him in wonder before she let out a small sigh. Her chest seemed to swell in happiness and she swore she felt her heart skip a beat. When he winked at her from his seat, she could feel her cheeks heat up. When the pig-tailed man picked up his book and highlighter, she shook her head at her girly response. She smiled to herself and got back to work, a little surprised to see this side of him.

Who knew Ranma Saotome could be sweet?

It was a Sunday afternoon that found Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, Ukyo, Soun, and Genma in the Tendo Dojo. Ranko had her own team practice for an upcoming meet and would join them for dinner afterwards. Nodoka had stayed home to prepare a family dinner to include the Tendos and both Ryoga and Ukyo. It was a feat that would take her all afternoon, not to mention stretch the capacity of their modest dining room to its limits. She didn't mind the extra work as she loved having a full house, one that was sure to be full of laughter. She had started early because she knew all too well that everyone would come back hungry from their work out, even with the snacks she had sent along. She hummed happily as she worked.

The martial artists had taken the rare afternoon with everyone free to get together for a work out. The patriarchs had lead the group through a series of warm ups, stretches, and katas. As everyone there was at least a black belt, there was no need to teach anything and the fathers had decided to spar instead. It had been a long time for both of them and they were happy to have a peer to fight with. The 'children' watched as Soun and Genma had the first match. Ranma had begrudgingly acknowledged that his dad was still pretty good. The pig-tailed man had surpassed his father a few years ago, something that made the Satome patriarch proud even though he was loathe to admit it; the boy had a big enough head as it was. It wasn't a surprise that Genma won, as it was obvious he was more skilled.

Ranma and Ryoga sat watching the girls as they went to the middle of the dojo, while the patriarchs sat watching on the opposite side of the room. Facing off, Akane and Ukyo stood across from each other and got into a ready position.

"Ready, Tendo?" the chef asked arrogantly.

"Always, Kuonji," the blue haired girl answered in a bored tone.

They waited a beat before they both charged forward. Akane threw a punch to Ukyo's chest which was blocked and countered with a jab to the face which was also blocked. What followed was a fast and furious series of attacks and deflections. The way the two stopped suddenly and grinned at each other made it obvious this impressive display was a standard part of their spars. It was the chef who attacked next with a round house kick to blue-haired girl that had her springing back.

"They're not bad," Ranma said.

"Pretty good, if you asked me. About even, too," Ryoga said not taking his eyes off the women.

"But I think 'kane has a slight advantage."

"Really? I was just gonna say the same thing about Ukyo."

"Of course you were. A little biased, aren't you?"

"And you're not?"

Ranma only shrugged. "Damn. They're hot as fuck."

"Yeah they are."

Both men continued to watch the two women as they continued to assault each other. It was a fairly even match and it was obvious that while they were serious, both women were having fun.

"So, how's everything going between you two?" Ryoga asked.

He had been surprised when Akane had forgiven him after the incident with Azusa and hoped that things were finally going well for the two.

"Good."

It was nice to hear as his best-friend had never really paid this much attention to one girl but he was surprisingly being very vague on the subject. He was never one to boast about his conquests but having known him for as long as he had, it was obvious when he had gotten lucky, just like it was that he hadn't.

Ryoga couldn't help but laugh nor could he pass up the opportunity to give him shit.

"I can't believe you hadn't gotten laid yet."

"The fuck? I never said…"

"Oh please! If you had slept with her you wouldn't be looking at her like she were a steak and you hadn't eaten in a month." Hearing no denials, Ryoga chuckled again and shook his head. "It's like karma. You're with the one girl you can't actually have."

"Look, we're just taking it slow, alright. Get to know each other before any of that stuff."

"You mean she wants to make sure you aren't a fuck boy before she lets you in her pants. She is as smart as she seems."

Ranma only shook his head and they fell back into companionable silence as the match continued. The pig-tailed man reflected on the last month. They were having fun together just hanging out and getting to know each other. It was a happy surprise that the more he got to know about her, the more he liked her. That wasn't normally the case. Usually when he got to know someone he was with, he liked them less. They often turned out to be self-centered and vacuous. Despite how it looked, he really did care more about a person's brains than their body.

Akane though, she was amazing. She was funny in a sarcastic way. She cared about people, truly cared about them. She was sweet, until she lost her temper and then she was fiery. He had only seen her angry once, when she saw some teenagers picking on a smaller kid, and boy did she let them have it. He made a mental note that day to stay on her good side. She was surprising clumsy for someone so athletic, something he found adorable since she could laugh at herself over the situations.

It was true, he was a little frustrated. If he jerked off anymore – especially after some of those good night kisses she gave him – he was sure he would start looking like Popeye. Sometimes he thought he wanted to have her more than he wanted his next breath.

But he'd be patient, even if it killed him because he didn't want her to regret anything between them. She was worth it.

"What do you mean you haven't slept with each other yet?" Ukyo asked in shock.

With the way they two were around each other she just assumed they had already slept together.

"It just hasn't happened!" Akane said defensively.

"Why? I mean do you still not trust him?"

"No, it's not that. I got over that. I know I can trust him. I do trust him."

"Then what going on?" the chef asked as she leaned back against the furo, a frown on her face.

After everyone had finished their matches, the group had enjoyed some snacks before they decided to clean up and head over to dinner. With the Tendo bathroom being so small, it would take too long to accommodate everyone, even if they paired up, so the men decided to go to the public onsen down the street, which would allow everyone time for a nice soak. The girls had decided to stay behind as the furo was plenty big for the both of them and it was easier getting ready at the Tendo home.

"I dunno really. I mean, at first yeah I was just getting to know him better. The more time I spent with him the easier it was to forget about the whole Azusa thing since he was so patient about the lack of sex. He never pushed me to go farther than what I was ready for."

"So you guys didn't do anything?" the chef asked with disbelief.

"I wouldn't say that. I mean we still held hands and made out, but he never really went past that, even though he managed to get me all hot and bothered all the time. I swear he has magic hands, just a touch …" she fanned herself with one hand for effect.

She wasn't exaggerating either. He touched her so casually yet intimately. A simple brush of her cheek or an arm around her shoulder when they walked. It felt so natural, so comfortable, like something he had been doing for ages. Yet there were times he would touch her that felt so new and exciting. The way his hand would trail down her leg was somehow more erotic than some sexual encounters she had.

"So, what's the problem? Why haven't you jumped him yet?"

"I was going to, planning to really but then I got my period."

"Some guys don't mind that," the chef answered, thinking of her own boyfriend.

"I know but not the first time. That'd be just awkward."

"Okay, I'll give you that. But what about since?"

The blue-haired girl fidgeted.

"I don't know really. Every time I thought about it, something seemed to come up. One of us would be busy, or we would end up hanging out with friends. It just never happened."

"He didn't cancel his plans after waiting so long to get laid? I find that hard to believe."

"Well, if he knew, he probably would have…"

"Are you telling me that you haven't told him you're ready?

"What was I gonna do, send him a text that said Wanna fuck? Great, I'll be over in 10. I was the one to initiate things the first time and look how that turned out! What happens if something like that happens again?"

Ukyo raised her eyebrow at this. "Seriously?" she finally asked dryly.

"Agh! Okay, I made sleeping together into this thing between us. I totally over analyzed it and now it's this big sexually frustrated elephant in the room! I started to imagine it in my head and plan it; it had to be perfect! And now how can I just bring it up?"

Akane threw her hands up in frustration. Ukyo waited a few moments until her friend's sanity seemed to come back to her.

"Feel better?"

"Actually, I do," the blue-haired girl said as she slumped against the wall.

"Good. You're right, you are making more out of it than there needs to be. Sex is important in a relationship, but it's not the only thing that is. And from the looks of it, you guys are good in those areas. He obviously respects you, you guys have fun together, you're into each other and you trust him, right?"

Akane nodded.

"So just relax and let it happen."

"Thanks, Ucchan."

The blue-haired girl smiled. She knew she had been irrational, knew she was overreacting. It just took talking it out with someone she trusted to get her to really see what mattered.

"I don't know, Ranma, I've never done this before."

"It's okay. There's always a first time for everything." Sensing her hesitancy, he added, "We don't have to do it if you don't want to but it'll be worth it."

"It's not that I don't want to…I'm just nervous."

"We'll go slow and I'll be behind you the entire time. We can stop whenever you want."

"And what if we make a mess?"

"I'll be honest, it's going to be a little messy, we'll just clean up after."

Akane nodded and gave him a small tentative smile. The pig-tailed man put his hand on her face and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.

"Don't worry. You'll enjoy this. I promise."

He turned her around and so that her back was pressed against him and she was facing the counter. He wrapped his arms around her waist and bent his head so that he could place a kiss on the nape of her neck. He smiled when he heard her sigh as she relaxed into him. He loved kissing her on her neck, he found out quickly how much she responded to it and ever since, it had been one of his favorite places too. But he loved kissing her anywhere, anytime, and any place really. He didn't think he would ever get tired of it.

"You ready?" he whispered into her ear.

She nodded but he felt her go tense in his arms.

"Just try to relax. This will be better if you relax a little. Remember what I told you about…"

Ranma wasn't able to finish his sentence as he was suddenly covered in powdered sugar. He blinked. There was sugar on his eyelashes. He wiped his eyes quickly and angled his head to look down at the girl still in his arms, who was looking back up at him with wide eyes, her face also covered in the baking ingredient and her mouth formed a surprised O. The pig-tailed man burst into laughter.

"I…I don't know what happened," she said somewhat sheepishly.

"You turned the hand mixer on too high and before you put it into the ingredients. Remember, I said you should put it in the butter then turn it on."

"Oh. Right."

Even through the light dusting of powder he could see her cheeks had turned red. Ranma laughed again. She was so obviously embarrassed. He felt a little sympathy as she really was klutzy and a little hopeless when it came to cooking but she tried so hard. It was adorable really. He grabbed a towel and wiped her face off and brushed off her hair before doing the same for himself.

"Don't worry about it. At least we got the making a mess part out of the way, now you don't have to worry about that anymore."

Akane giggled, relieved that he was making a joke out of the situation and wasn't too upset at the state of his kitchen.

"Should we clean up?"

"Nah, let's wait until we're all done and do one big clean up in case there's another spill." Although part of him wondered how it could get any messier. "You wanna try using the hand mixer again?"

"Sure but do we need to add more sugar first?"

"Since we don't know how much got lost, we can mix what we have first and add more to taste as we go."

Akane nodded and turned towards the bowl. She got a firm grasp on the handle and put the mixer in gently before turning it on the slow setting. She let out a sigh of relief when the mixer began to blend the ingredients together without making a mess.

She really had been nervous as this was her first time baking a cake. She had wanted to do something special for her father's birthday, something she could really surprise him with. And if she could pull it off, it would definitely be a surprise.

The cake itself was in the oven and was already giving off a wonderful scent. She kept turning the oven light on to check its progress, something that Ranma would only chuckle at and suggested they make the buttercream frosting. She really had been nervous since she had never used a hand mixer before but also because she didn't want him to know exactly how big of a screw up she was in the kitchen. He had made her feel confident and comfortable, even after the disaster that was the powdered sugar storm.

It turned out to be easier than she imagined to make the frosting, judging the taste as they went. They had a slight disagreement with the taste as he had more of a sweet tooth than she did and insisted on more sugar. As with everything else lately, they compromised and added only a half cup more sugar than the full cup he insisted on. Once the cake was cool they used some of the frosting as filling between the two layers and applied a thin layer of icing on before putting the cake into the fridge. They took it out a little while later to finish frosting the cake and mixed some blue food coloring into the last bit of buttercream to letter the top.

Akane couldn't help but smile. The cake had turned out pretty well. It definitely looked homemade as she couldn't get the frosting completely smooth but with the writing and sprinkles on top, it looked pretty festive. And she knew it was going to taste great. She clapped her hands together in excitement, stopping herself from jumping up and down in celebration.

She felt an arm go around her shoulder as Ranma pulled her to his side and gave her a squeeze and a kiss on the head.

"It looks great, your pop is gonna love it."

Akane beamed at the praise and bounced on her toes in excitement before she threw her arms around his neck.

"Thank you! I couldn't have done it without you!" she exclaimed before pulling him into a kiss that made his toes curl.

When they pulled apart he said, "No, thank you." Kissed her one more time before pulling back.

They did have a kitchen to clean, after all. And to his chagrin, it had gotten messier.

A/N: Get your minds outta the gutter people! But not too far put as the next chapter will have a lemon. That being said, it may take a little longer to get done as smut is hard to write. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

I'm sorry that this chapter took a little longer than normal. The holidays, the kids' schedules, some personal issues, not having a clue what to write for this chapter, and some harsh reviews created a perfect storm of writer's block. Luckily I was finally struck with the inspiration stick that got me over the hump. Since the rest of the chapters have actually been planned they should come out faster.

I'm still relatively knew to writing and am working to develop a thicker skin when it comes to reviews. For those of you who just don't like how I characterize Ranma and/or Akane, this story is probably not for you. Hopefully you find one to your liking.

Thanks for reading and everyone who has given me moral support! It really has meant a lot to me. As always a big thank you goes out to alwaysZutarian who rocks!
