[He wouldn't be wrong. What resonated with Byleth the most in romance novels were the soft, affectionate scenes. The smut was just mildly interesting and entertaining.]

Then, it's likely I'll never experience those 'fireworks'. As I said, I've never had a crush, and I've never really had any sexual urges either. A pity, really, the romance novels made these acts sound like such a fun experience...

[Of course, he could still experiment with trying out sex or more intense kissing, but he only really trusted one person to see him in such a vulnerable position and that was Shez. Byleth didn't harbour any romantic or lustful feelings for him, and he doubted Shez felt the same either, so he was sort of stuck.]

Well, at least I'll be able to become somewhat experienced with kissing. We did agree to space out our kisses throughout the week, after all.
