Woah woah, it's okay, I promise I'll stop. [For now.] There is no set pace Vivi. Some couples go fast, some go slow, some choose to not go there at all. It's up to what is comfortable for you and your partner, this is the same for you and Fern. No one should feel pressured to rush into anything they're not ready for.

Mamo-chan and I had a very long and serious conversation before we decided to go all the way, we both had to feel ready emotionally and physically before we decided to share ourselves like that with one another.

So if you and Fern are at kissing and hand-holding right now, then that is what you're ready for. Go at what feels best for you both and no one else.
