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?

Greg and his innuendos – Nil is bringing his “package” over for Bernice.

I think the neighbors would freak just seeing Nil on the street, package or no package. He’s a bit weird looking.

The neighbors are just glad Bernice is distracted and therefore not listening with a glass against their front doors.

“Kinky role play?” Well – this is going to get interesting. How come this never happens to Luann?

I bet Bernice would like to see his package. I hope they don’t show her unwrapping his package.

There is something different about Bernice’s face in the 3rd panel, made me think of what she might look like as a middle-aged woman.

Mildly creative, Nil, but not a prize-winner.
Nonetheless, now that you are in the DeGroot house, I guess you and Bernie can get down and dirty. That is the real objective, is it not?
