Bern likes kinky as someone said above, and Nil is smart and aware of the potential embarrassing issues. But a breakup is not what is going on. People project so much with Been they totally miss the story.
Nil knows Bernice even better than Bernice herself. Maybe he’s a little ironic about her fears, but I don’t think what he’s doing is an exaggeration and he does it for her ♡. Bernice will feel safe with him♡.
The whole thing is just a tease. Remember Luann and Quill in the pitch black room making all sorts of noises before turning on the lights and cutting it off. Bern is way too uptight to lose her maidenhood before marriage. Still, it would be something to talk about for quite a while if it did happen.
Now that they have all the privacy they wanted, now what? Ah yes, it’s time for that timely interruption. But who shall be behind door #1 to be that interruption?
The irony of course: Bern got all judgmental when she believed Luann had a boy in her room overnight, but is quite fine to sneak in Nil. Not even her own home.

I think Nil is expressing his frustrations about Bernice quite well, right now.
Instead of a make out session, are we going to witness a breakup?
