“When somone as cute as I rushes up next to you like this, you really can't help but tense up, can you?”

Iori

“Yes, you are very adorable. My heart is all aflutter.”

Mikage

“Th-That so...”

As if suprised by my honest admission, she sheepishly turned away from me.

She looked like a demure maiden in love, who was bashful to be in the presence of her lover.

Mikage

“Hng...”

It seemed she was overcome with restless uncertainy wondering just what to do next, and wondering just how far this was going to go.

It was most endearing. She was like an small animal.

Iori

“Aren't you going to kiss me?”

Mikage

“Wha—”

Iori

“I mean, there's really only one reason to get up this close to someone isn't there?”

Mikage

“T-That... may be true... um yeah...”

Was she planning on kissing me all along?

Did my candid reaction at the last minute throw her off kilter and cause her to get cold feet?

If she was really planning on doing that, I would have welcomed it openly.
