#especially for Ominis who is definitely emotionally constipated in the beginning of his relationship with MC (imo)

About the Ominis' HC: "In the beginning, he definitely flinches when you brush your arm against his or make contact with him in any way, because he's never been on the receiving end of a tender, affectionate touch."

It made me wonder how messy could MC and Ominis' first time making love have gone hahaha. Must have been very awkward but something to laugh about with time after he has enough confidence to become Dominis.

A very insightful line of thinking, and I wish I could say with 100% certainty what I imagine it might have been like, but I think it depends a lot on how someone individually views him !

Hypothetically speaking if it happened while they were still young (maybe 17 or 18) I think if would be a slow affair.

∘ Lots of verbal check in's ("Is this okay" or "Am I hurting you") ∘ Definitely ripe with some uncomfortable fumbles (it slipped out or he finished at the speed of light LOL) ∘ Maybe MC even kicks him accidentally while switching positions at one point ("Merlin– I'm so sorry!" *Ominis clutching his throbbing nose* "It's fine– It's okay")

It's inevitable that anyone's first time is bound to be chock full of mildly embarrassing moments and self-consciousness. You're basically at your most vulnerable: naked, sweaty, caving to your baser urges, and probably hyper-aware of your appearance. All your bits and bobs hanging out isn't exactly the easiest thing for a hormonal teenager to embrace, even if you are blind LMAO

I think given the nature of Ominis' character, it's reasonable to assume that he wouldn't dive headfirst into something like sex without fostering a stable foundation with the MC first. Above all else, they're friends and they trust one another, so he wouldn't be afraid to communicate openly with them. It's still a supremely awkward moment for everyone involved, but yeah, he would do his best to keep things moving smoothly and leave room for error.

With time comes newfound confidence and familiarity, so naturally he would be able to look back on his first time with the MC and laugh about it. It's probably endearing for him and MC to know that they got to learn and grow together, especially once he comes into his own as Dominis 😌
