Seeing You Naked for the First Time — a shipping/smut-ish meme

There are outliers, of course, but many societies have come to the point where nudity is a reserved affair. That's understandable though, isn't it? The naked body is like one big target, with all our most sensitive spots exposed in a most dangerous way. Maybe it's some kind of carryover from primitive times, but it's common practice to shield your body unless you're taking care of inescapable tasks, with someone you trust, or being intimate - with the last two often overlapping.

No matter if you're less than comfortable showing what you've been given or if it's next to normal with you, one situation is nearly universally awkward, however: getting naked for the first time in front of someone you intend on being intimate with. If social lubricant is involved, things may be different, yet otherwise, you may feel that uncertainty in the pit of your stomach. What if they don't like the way you look? What if they ask about your scar? They can say they love you, but does that mean your whole body.

Whether, the time has come to take that first step with this person, no matter what secrets about your body you're not sure you want to reveal or how confident you are with the situation. Now, you'll bare it all...

...and you won't be alone. You'll see them as they see you, which can be more comforting or less so.

Comment with your character and preferences in the subject. Any additional information goes in the comment.
This meme is definitely shipping and...somewhat smut-ish. Smut is likely to happen, but it's absolutely not required. The main purpose of this meme is to explore relationships and character's self-image, in addition to how they're perceived by others.

PROMPTS

smooth — This is old hat for you, and you make it seem like no big deal. The whole affair is smooth sailing on your end, and that confidence is alluring.
tryhard — You're attempting to be way too cool or too sexy, and it comes off as fake.
low self esteem — Suddenly, you're not feeling so great about your little pudge, your scrawny legs, your droopy...you know.
secret to keep — Your significant other has never known about the scars you bear, your deformation, or anything else you may have kept close to the vest.
not used to this — You're from a society that's so reserved, removing your clothes is almost exclusively for bathing only.
holding your breath — You've been wanting to see them like this for so long, the anticipation's killing you!
never seen anyone before — This isn't just your first time seeing them naked, it's your first time seeing anyone naked.
shy — This is just way, way too embarrassing!
everything that can go wrong — Your pant leg gets stuck. You trip over your underwear. That bra won't come off. You stare too long. You accidentally imply they look fat. Things aren't going as planned.
hunger — Just looking at them makes you want them more.
not impressed — ...wait, that's it? Really?
romantic — It's the perfect moment. You're staring into each others' eyes and there are smiles and words of love. Candles optional.
encouraging — They're clearly not confident about getting down to their skivvies, so a few kind words or actions could go a long way.
helping — You'll remove each others' clothes. After all, what's better than helping out?
accidental — You guys haven't made that step yet, but there's clearly sexual tension in the air. That won't be helped when one of you walks in on the other.

(Probably m/f would be easiest. He does have a weakness for pretty ladies. Or ladies in general. Especially ladies losing their clothing.)

[ooc: I saw that you have a no smut policy in your prefs, so I'll try to keep this clean as possible *salute* Oh, and feel free to use as much slapstick abuse as you like. Ataru has the constitution of a loony toon.]

It was a rare occasion that Ataru had someone like Kaname staying at his house for an extended period of time. It was a rarer occasion still that he managed to keep his teenage lust in check so that he didn't completely blow it with her. He couldn't help but genuinely like Kaname, mainly because she wasn't as insane as half the people he knew, and they both liked the same action movies and comics.

Unfortunately even with the best of intentions, Ataru's unlucky streak still always managed to rear its ugly head somehow. When he was heading to the bathroom to take a shower, the light was off in the bathroom and he couldn't hear the shower running. Naturally he assumed this meant that no one was in the bathroom, but unbeknownst to him the light had gone out in the bathroom. There was still a window in the bathroom, so people could use the sunlight to see, but the light was the signal he grew up with to let him know if the bathroom was occupied.

So with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, Ataru opened the bathroom door to find a sight that would likely be etched in his mind till the end of his days. Kaname toweling off after a steaming shower, naked as the day she was born. Ataru tried to get out words, any words to say sorry but he was dumbstruck by the experience, and as he tried to take a step, he slipped on a bar of soap. What the hell was a bar of soap doing on the floor!? Well he never found out before he was sent careening forward, past Kaname, and crashing head first into the hard porcelain bathtub. His towel in the process slipped off so he was in effect mooning the poor girl that he'd so rudely barged in on.

He just could not catch a break.
