... Ryuusei ...

That hurts, you know? Aren't we friends? Couldn't you at least tell me?

Then why can't you tell me? If you could just shrug it off, then you wouldn't be keeping it from me.

[oh. makes a startled little gasp, but brings his hands up to press against your chest as he kisses back]

Mmn— [breaking the kiss after a bit, resting his forehead against yours again]

Is this what you were worried about?

... [frowning.]

[just backs up, shoving his hands in his pockets and not making eye contact]

[quietly.]

That was my first kiss, Ryuusei...

I... didn't mind that it was you, but...

[shaking his head]

It's fine.

It was nice. Even if...

[just shakes his head again.]

Anyway, you're right. It's your own business, so I won't force you.

But if you get into trouble, I'm gonna be real mad I can't be there to help you.

Maybe. But if you get hurt, I'll be sad.

Okay. I trust you.
