My heart almost stopped.
Did... I hear him correctly...?
Sora... Loved me?
I couldn't believe what I was hearing... Why would he love me...? I must just need to get my hearing checked... Right...? I mean...
Sora's eyes grew wide. "Ayano...? Why are you crying...?"
Crying...?
I hesitantly raised a hand to brush my cheek. Wet... I was crying...?
I tried to laugh it off nonchalantly, wiping the tears off. "Oh..! No, I'm sorry... I just get like this when... When I'm surprised..."
He'd caught me off guard..
He made a sulky expression. "It was that out of the blue...? I thought it was obvious..."
He laid his head on my chest in despair.
"... Sorry," I sniffled.
He raised his head after a moment to look back at me. "So?"
"So..?"
He gave a wicked grin. "What about you?"
"Me?"
"How do you feel about me?"
I struggled to swallow as he practically stared into my soul. What...??
I scowled at him, my face reddening, and raised my hand in a failed attempt to hide my face. "Idiot... You already know..."
As often as he poked around in my head, there was no way he didn't know...
He grinned, his tail flicking behind him flirtatiously. Damn, he was so....
He gave a light chuckle, his grin broad enough I could see his sharp canine teeth.
"I know, but I want to hear you say it~"
My face was burning. Why'd he have to be like that... It was so embarrassing...!
He continued staring me down, his eyes glowing.
He wasn't going to let up was he....
"Nope."
I scowled at him. Jerk...
He chuckled triumphantly. "Say it. Out loud."
I paused for a long moment.
"...I..."
I couldn't look him in the eyes...
"... I... I..."
I swallowed and bit my lip, knowing my face couldn't have possibly gotten any darker.
"....I like you...."
I peeked over at himー he looked so smug...
"That's all I needed to hear."
"Huh...? What do yー AHH!"
Before I could even react, Sora was kissing me. And not just on the lips, but everywhere. My nose, my cheeks, my neck, a whole shower of kisses.
"S-S-Sora...!!"
After continuing relentlessly for a few minutes, he finally stopped, letting out a breath. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it in any longer..."
I tried to swallow. Ahh, my face was burning...
Sora smiled. "You're so cute."
"Hush...!"
